“Does God have a friend in Israel?”

“But as for you, Israel my servant, Jacob my chosen one, descended from Abraham my friend,” (Isaiah 41:8)

“He (Abraham) was even called the friend of God.” (James 2:23b)

For he (Abraham) looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” (Hebrews 11:10)

Here’s a simple question. Who is acting more like their father? The Jews who are still determined to rebuild their earthly temple made of stones and brick? The Muslims praying in their Dome of the Rock? Or the Christians who recognize there has been a major change of High Priest, a major change of Covenant, and are no longer looking for a physical earthly building or kingdom?

>Who is the friend of God, in Jerusalem?<

(John 15:15) “I (Jesus) no longer call you (the disciples) slaves, because a master does not confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.”

“Revelation” is a key sign of being a friend of God!

I repeat, REVELATION (UNDERSTANDING) is a key sign of being a friend of God!

Is there an “awakening” in the House of God? Are the Ten Virgins waking up? Who will be taken, and who will be left behind to face all the horrible trials of tribulation? Who will miss the wedding feast, miss out on being part of the Bride, and miss being a part of New City Jerusalem? My eyes are not on the old temple, (or old Covenant!), but on the New City Jerusalem, a heavenly temple, a heavenly Bride, and the new earth God has promised! That’s where Abraham’s eyes would be, and one might even say already were, and he was the friend of God! But a Jew by physical birth only, is still looking for an earthly kingdom! And this is not God’s friend. At best, still a servant, having no true revelation of what his master is doing.

Jesus hung outside the gates of their city, paying the price for our sins, and they did not see. But some did see. Maybe not till the Day of Pentecost, but sight would come! And now, we who are God’s friends, spiritual descendants of Abraham, we know the future, for God has revealed it to us! And we watch with great groanings, desiring that our mortality be swallowed up by immortality, knowing what great promises all these things are working toward. Also knowing what great pain and suffering must be endured first, before Christ Himself sets upon a Jerusalem throne, reigning in love and peace for 1000 years.

Be of God cheer, brothers and sisters, we have a friend in God, and he has revealed to us how the story ends, and God says, “It is good.” Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

1241

(Romans 4:11b -12) “… So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith. And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had ‘before’ he was circumcised.” (Certain notations added by me for emphasis.)

Brothers and sisters, it is so important we fully embrace the New Covenant of our High Priest, Jesus; and leave behind the lesser promises of “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth”. God has called us his friends if we “know Him”. Jesus told some he did not “know them”, depart from me.

My heart is for this blog site, and my teepee, to be a place where we constantly desire to know Him more. To seek better understanding, and always be spiritually growing. We are seeking an awakening. Not only seeking it, but insisting on it, if we are to be ready when the call for the Bride comes. Scripture plainly shows there will be an awakening, and a dividing, and a leaving behind. For some, this awakening will lead to a sad revelation of “too little, too late”.

I would like to leave you with a final thought. We see there are “2” Covenants. One is called “the old”, and is supposed to be replaced by the success of our Lord’s mission here in earth. The other is called “the new”, and we should not mix the old with the new! Causing rupturing wineskins. And we see “2” judgement thrones. The judgement seat of Christ, and the Great White Throne judgement seat of God. And we see Ten Virgins, divided into “2” groups, on that day. We even see “2” temples, an earthly one in Jerusalem, and a spiritual one waiting to come down out of heaven. There are also “2” resurrections.

“2” Covenants…”2″ judgements…”2″ sets of virgins…”2″ temples….”2″ resurrections. We should see that both Covenants are still in effect depending on what we have personally decided about Christ, our personal relationship to Him.

Now we see “2” people, Mary and Martha, and the words Jesus spoke to each. Could Mary and Martha be a picture of those Ten Virgins? Has half the modern church become Martha? Have we inverted the order of the “2” greatest commandments as given by Christ? Have we become more concerned with serving man, than seeking the strong Presence of God? I leave you with these thoughts.

“Trump and the Temple”

20171202_173614

My my, things are getting interesting now. Everyone hates the guy finally making a meaningful move. There are none so blind as the willingly blind who refuse to see any truth contradictory to their personal uneducated agenda. These people see evil as good, and good as evil. They see the man who’s finally ready to get his hands dirty as the problem, and all those who were too cowardly, or stupid, or lazy to do anything, as the good. They live in a false reality as evil as Neo before Morpheus. My God, what is wrong with these people?

Many statistics show the more educated someone is, the less likely they are to accept the Bible as the true Word of God. Neo was a pretty smart guy as he lived in his world of computer hacking, but he did not know the illusion he was living in, and he had a real hard time accepting reality after he chose that red pill! I wish I had a red pill for them. If only it were that simple. (Sigh.)

Lets consider a few things here, just off the top of my head. 1). Now President Trump “is” a highly educated man, even though people don’t like to admit it. Just ask the President. He’ll tell you how smart he is, and he has credentials to prove it. Not the kind of credentials I’m necessarily impressed with, but as the world goes, they should greatly respect him.

2.) For decades now, every President has tried to stay neutral, regarding Jerusalem, believing it was the best path to peace. How long do you keep doing the same thing expecting different results? My education only goes to 12th grade, and I know that one! These people think Trump has ruined the progress made towards peace? What progress! There has been no real progress! Anyone with any true knowledge of Israel knows they will never accept a peace treaty without Jerusalem as their capitol! President Trump is taking one large step “towards” peace, not away from it! These are hard things that have to be dealt with before there can be any treaty!

3.) I told some good friends when Trump got elected, look out middle east! This is the man who wrote the book on: “The Art of the Deal”! Do any of us think he can resist trying to be the one who finally helps negotiate peace in the middle east? What proof that would be of his skills! What a trophy that would be on his shelf! This is a treasure he cannot resist! But our moronic media, and Hollywood riff-raff, living lives of pleasure, sin, and excess, think they know better. People who make a living being other people. It makes me want to laugh-out-loud.

4.) Israel has claimed Jerusalem as their capitol for 3,000 years! They don’t care what anyone else says or thinks. It is their most holy city, the City of David! Who doesn’t love David? History proves their claim to Jerusalem. A truly wise man knows he who blesses Israel will be blessed in return, but that comes from a book our “stars” no longer study or recognize. Oh yes, they are all very “spiritual”, but there sure is a lot of filth in Hollywood for such “spiritual” people. Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works! We see your works, Hollywood. We see how spiritual you really are living in your mansions of fame and wealth, while you worry so much about the poor people.

5.) This deserves being reemphasized: There will be “never” be a peace treaty without Jerusalem being the capitol of Israel! Our President Trump just had the backbone and courage to move the ball towards a touchdown. All these other wannabees have just been revealed as kings having no clothes. If they truly did not even understand this much, then no wonder we have failed to accomplish peace in Israel.

6.) I read where our allies are not standing with us on this one. Finally, America is leading again. Whether doing the right thing brings pain or gain, America has just begun blazing a trail others need to recognize and follow. Thank you President Donald Trump!

Now what does this mean if President Trump eventually succeeds in being the one in the president’s seat when peace is finally achieved? Is he the Antichrist? Hhmmm. Wow. I don’t think we can jump to such a conclusion. The Holy Temple must be rebuilt. I will be more on guard when I see that happening. They say it could be done very quickly, once they decide to begin.

What a day we are living in. I don’t normally like to get into politics much, but this was more than I could resist. Anything having to do with the peace of Israel should be on the radar of any serious child of God. “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” (Psalms 122:6)
