WHY DO SO MANY FEAR ISRAEL?

Responding to a Facebook Group I posted the following: 

“A man walks into a room where 400 people have gathered who demographically represent the statistical composition of the world's religions. The man is a Jew. Quite likely he is the only Jew in the room. Someone tell me why over 2 billion Muslims and some 5 to 6 billion other people are afraid of around 20 million Jewish people. There is actually a good answer to this. Let me know if you want to hear it!”

Here is a more complete answer than the one I gave to those who inquired for it. 

WHY DO SO MANY FEAR ISRAEL?

When the spies went to Jericho they encountered Rahab the prostitute. Here is part of what she told them:

Joshua 2 (ASV)

⁸ And before they come on were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;

⁹ and she said unto the men, I know that Jehovah hath given you the land, and that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.

¹⁰ For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

¹¹ And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Jehovah your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.”

It is now as it has always been God's intention that the entire world know Him, reverence Him and love Him. In the book of Ezekiel God speaks his intention 65 times "that they know me, that I am the Lord." And he is speaking to Israel. Several centuries later God sent ha Shem Yeshua ha Mashiach. That name is above every name in heaven and on Earth and under the Earth. Yeshua is Lord. God wants all the nations and Israel to know Him and know that He is the Lord. 

ASK YOURSELF: 

Why do the Muslim radicals shout the slogan "First the Saturday people, then the Sunday people." ??? 

Because Jews and christians have the SAME GOD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and JACOB, of JUDAH and of the house of DAVID. He is our God who parted the Red Sea and by empowered Israel to utterly destroy the two kings of the Amorites, Sihon and to Og. Islam has another god. 

God's prophet Moses, who was the humblest man on earth, by obeying the voice of God caused Pharaoh of Egypt to relent and let the people go. The muslim god hates our God. The muslim people are spiritually controlled to hate the Saturday and Sunday people. 

Exodus 15:2  The LORD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.

Yeshua is Lord. 

Zechariah  12:1-9 “The oracle of the word of the LORD concerning Israel: Thus declares the LORD, who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth and formed the spirit of man within him: “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it. On that day, declares the LORD, I will strike every horse with panic, and its rider with madness. But for the sake of the house of Judah I will keep my eyes open, when I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. Then the clans of Judah shall say to themselves, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem have strength through the LORD of hosts, their God.’ “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a blazing pot in the midst of wood, like a flaming torch among sheaves. And they shall devour to the right and to the left all the surrounding peoples, while Jerusalem shall again be inhabited in its place, in Jerusalem. “And the LORD will give salvation to the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem may not surpass that of Judah. On that day the LORD will protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them on that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the angel of the LORD, going before them. And on that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

Isaiah 43:11 I, even I, am Jehovah; and besides me there is no saviour.

Isaiah 45:21 Declare ye, and bring it forth; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath showed this from ancient time? who hath declared it of old? have not I, Jehovah? and there is no God else besides me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none besides me.

Isaiah 49:26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Isaiah 60:16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the nations, and shalt suck the breast of kings; and thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Psalm 82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.

Isaiah 52:10 Jehovah hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Jeremiah 46:28  Fear not thou, O Jacob my servant, saith Jehovah; for I am with thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee; but I will not make a full end of thee, but I will correct thee in measure, and will in no wise leave thee unpunished.

Ezkiel 39:21  “And I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them.

Ezkiel 39:22  The house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God, from that day forward.

Ezkiel 39:21-29  ““And I will set my glory among the nations, and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid on them. The house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God, from that day forward. And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity, because they dealt so treacherously with me that I hid my face from them and gave them into the hand of their adversaries, and they all fell by the sword. I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their transgressions, and hid my face from them. “Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name. They shall forget their shame and all the treachery they have practiced against me, when they dwell securely in their land with none to make them afraid, when I have brought them back from the peoples and gathered them from their enemies' lands, and through them have vindicated my holiness in the sight of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the LORD their God, because I sent them into exile among the nations and then assembled them into their own land. I will leave none of them remaining among the nations anymore. And I will not hide my face anymore from them, when I pour out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD.””

I believe Muslims and others fear Israel knowing intuitively that the God of Israel will rule the world. 

Matthew 19:27-30 “Then answered Peter and said unto him, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee; what then shall we have? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. But many shall be last that are first; and first that are last.” 

Jesus the Messiah is going to return to Jerusalem where he will rule Israel and the entire Earth for a thousand years!

May I suggest some readings from God's bible. Isaiah chapters 52:13 through chapter 53:12. Zechariah chapter 12, 13 and 14. From the New Covenant scriptures John chapters 1, 2 and 3. And Matthew the whole book!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. But in our fear of God we need to come to him, not run from him. Sadly cowardice, the cowardice of the adversary, is strong in the hearts of many, especially Muslims. God, having revealed himself to us in Jesus, sincerely and greatly desires that we come to him. Are fear of God will turn to reverence and in our reverence he will make known his love for us.

The words of Jesus:

Matthew 11 (ASV)

²⁷ All things have been delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knoweth the Son, save the Father; neither doth any know the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son willeth to reveal [him.]

²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Cultural Jihad vs Saavy Americans

Cultural Jihad vs Saavy Americans

May 15, 2012

We live in a free society where the cultural jihad of the Islamic terrorists may be protected by the first amendment. Federal and local authorities might actually be enlisted to advance the speech and freedoms of cultural jihadists by protecting their rights under the USA constitution! If Muslims do not repudiate Jihad, Sharia and Islam itself, they and we may find themselves in a United States which is majority Islam and Sharia governed, even from the houses of Federal, State and local Governments!

Are Americans savvy enough today to understand this? Or are they deceived enough to become dhimmis or converts? If you don’t understand these questions you are not savvy enough.

The Christian faith is very much misunderstood by lukewarm unstudied christians. As G.K. Chesterton said: “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.” How much more is it misunderstood by Muslims and other religionists? How much more when we do not declare our faith in love, power and a sound sober and educated mind?

Muslims and all men ought to try it. But have they seen it? Or have they seen only a pale imitation of Christ.

If we allow for human error and Divine Perfection, we ought to see Islam offers no assurance of the forgiveness of sins and requires an unknown quantity of good deeds for entrance into paradise. To offer a pass to paradise to those who will murder an “infidel” is so clearly a controlling motivator offered by those who would advance world conquest and the Caliphate. Islamic “shahids” (“martyrs”) are so evilly taken advantage of and evilly used in this “shahada.” This is should be heartbreaking to most christians whom Muslims consider “infidels. 

God redeems us, rescues us, ransoms us from the captivity of satan. He does it freely, peacefully and lovingly. He requires that we trust Him and continue in that trust all the days of our lives. He promises that if we do trust Him He will give us everlasting life! God never breaks His promises, He will keep us for heaven and Himself, for love eternal, no matter how evil we have become.

Only believe, all things are possible.

Luke 18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

CHANGE

Is it possible to obey God’s Ten Commandments? Is it possible to obey all the 603 commands added Jesus went further and taught us that it is in our hearts and minds that we must change. Our outer actions are important, but more critical are our hearts and minds. That was the crisis even before the law was given!

Genesis 6:5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

That was the crisis Jesus spoke to in the Sermon onthe Mount:

Matthew 5:27-28 "Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."

That was the same crisis James wrote of:

James 1:13-15 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man: 14 but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.

Therefore we need to give effort as Paul beseeches us to be living sacrifices, to change our minds and to prove the will of God.

Romans 12:1-3  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. 2 And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but so to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith.

The Ten Commandments are TRUE and GOOD and HOLY and ESTABLISHED. Yet:

Hebrews 7:11-19  Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are said belongeth to another tribe, from which no man hath given attendance at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests. 15 And what we say is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest, 16 who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life: 17 for it is witnessed of him, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek. 18 For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God.

“For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.” We have a new High Priest. The Levitical priesthood is no more and the laws of it are disannulled! Why? The law was not given to do for us and in us what Jesus was sent to do for us and in us! Jesus is now our BETTER HOPE! He is our ONLY hope. Our "law" now is "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus." 

Romans 8:1-17  There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5 For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: 7 because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: 8 and they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.

“For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.” We meet the requirements of this new law by love! 

Romans 13:8-10 Owe no man anything, save to love one another: for he that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: love therefore is the fulfilment of the law.

Galatians 5:6  For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

Galatians 5:4-6 (The Message) I suspect you would never intend this, but this is what happens. When you attempt to live by your own religious plans and projects, you are cut off from Christ, you fall out of grace. Meanwhile we expectantly wait for a satisfying relationship with the Spirit. For in Christ, neither our most conscientious religion nor disregard of religion amounts to anything. What matters is something far more interior: faith expressed in love.

1Corinthians 13:1-13 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; 6 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10 but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. 13 But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

“For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.” 

Galatians 6:1-2 Brethren, even if a man be overtaken in any trespass, ye who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

James 1:25  But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.

James 2:12  So speak ye, and so do, as men that are to be judged by a law of liberty.
