It has been a wonderful exchange in the Philippines. Pastor Freddie recounted how he travels 5 hours by vehicle and then travels another seven hours through the rugged jungles of Philippines to witness to the mountain people that the Philippines government do not know exist. His zeal to spread the Good News of Christ Jesus our Lord is representative of other Pastors that I have talked. to.

One Pastor was driving to a Bible Study and was killed on the way. His way went to the morgue where he laid for 10 hours dead. The Christian school and the local churches prayed for this dead man. The Pastor said that while he was dead he could see his wife crying at the morgue and tried to touch her but could. Then he remembered the scripture in the Bible that says the body is dead without the Spirit. At the same time a person came by and wispered to the dead body, “don’t forget the Lord”. It was then he returned to his body after being dead 10 hours. You can see where his skull was distorted due to the accident.

Another minister in the Gospel told how the doctors told him he needed an operaton on his heart because his blood pressure was 240/130. His heart was two times the size it should have been. He and his wife were also told that they needed $15,000 for the operation and $9,000 for a shot for the operation. They did not have the money. All they could do was put their faith in God. When he went back to the doctor, the doctor was amazed. He had the heart of a young person and his blood pressure was normal.

There were countless testimonies of God’s ability to heal and deliver when people place their trust in a true and living God. There were countless witnesses that testified to the person being dead and the otther person having significant heart problems.

With such testimonies, it made the conference. In the morning session we ministered on Standing on The Bible as God’s Word. With so much in the word trying to get us to have a world view instead of a God-centered view, it is important to learn that God’s Word does not change. Heaven and earth may pass away but not one Word of the Word of God. MIndanao, the souther part of the Philippines, where even Philippinos avoid because of the sometime religious conflicts, is where the conference is being held and the brothers and sister in the Lord are bold in their prolcamation of faith in Christ Jesus.

The second session was on true worship. Worship is not based on music, but the invward man that has been renewed who acknowledges the graces and mercies of God through His Son Christ Jesus our Lord. We also made the distinction as to who Christ Jesus our Lord is versus who the world tries to depict Him to be. It is so good to know that Jesus is not just a prophet, He is not just a good man, He does not have any siblings, but He is truly indeed the only begotten of the Heavenly Father.

The listeners were so encouraged to hear someone stand on the Word of God without compromise.

God is using you to spread His good word and so wonderful to hear the good works you are involved in. God Bless you for continued success and safe travels.

Your brother in Christ, Overseer Ratcliff

How true it was last night for me. I have traveled around the world preaching and teaching the Gospel of Christ Jesus. Never once have I gone overseas to receive an offering, but to be a blessing to the Body of Christ with the wisdom and knowledge God through His Son Christ Jesus has given to me. Last night the obedience to the Word of God to go into all the World and preach the Gospel was affirmed that God is watching over my life. Without me knowing what was going to happen, I had the Honorary Doctorate Degree conferred upon me. This means I can now be referred to as Dr. Sylvester Williams. The Bible states that your gift will make room for you and bring yoiu before great men. The Word of God is truly true. God truly is doing great things and I truly acknowledge His power in the earth through His Son Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am heading to the airport now to prepare for the next leg of the trip in the Philippines. I had a wonderful young boy named Joseph, 12 years old, pray a wonderful prayer for my safe journey. He is from the children’s home where either they were abandoned, left without parents due to the psunami that hit India a few years back, or just in need of shelter. How wonderful to know that he would pray for me with a smile on his face with all that he and the other children in the home have been through. Continue to pray for the move of God worldwide as God shows himself strong throughout the countries.

Through Christ’s resurrection, we inherited the ability to see miracles in our lives. The Apostles, the first believers, saw people raised from the dead, the lame walk, demons cast out of people. Today we should see the same miracles because the Bible says that God does not change. To all the cessasionists this may be a disappointment.

Once I had a chance to prove the miracle of God. From all the travel and eating different foods I felt my stomach bubbling. Was this the dreaded Montezuma revenge. How was I to speak healing and miracles to people if I am in the bathroom. I prayed in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord and I did not have any more problems.

Thank God that I did not because we prayed for people that was lame, growth on neck, wombs to be opened. One man instantly gave testimony of the healing of his leg. A lady testified that she saw a supernatural light over the place of the service as I prayed.

We are expecting greater things as continue to preach the Name of Christ Jesus our Lord, the Son of the Living God that was crucified for our sins.

Everyone thanks for all the prayers. It is much appreciated.

Last night was the graduation services for Sharon Bible College. I was dressed in my cap and gown as i passed out diplomas to the graduates.

On today we broke ground at two locations for churches to be built. The churches being built are through the contributions of The Assembly At Durham Christian Center. Pastor Moses wants me to return for the ribbon cutting ceremonies when the facilities are built. He also wants my name on the cornerstone for each building.

There truly is a tremendous need for the Gospel and finances here. Even though there are parts of India prospering, there is still severe poverty. The people were willing to wait long periods of time for transportation money home. The 100 ruppees given to them equates to about 2 dollars.

The whole in the floor for the toilet is still prevalent, even though one place that we visited had the automatic flush toilets. The people are very hospital and truly thankful for my having come.

In the service of Christ Jesus, the Son of the Living God,

Started the morning at 4:00am to catch 6:00am flight to JFK. I prayed blessings upon my wife, children and grandchildren before leaving. Only 12 on 6:00am flight to JFK. Flight attendants made comment on the scarcity of fliers.

Emirarates Airlines flight is from terminal four. I arrived at terminal eight. This required a lot of walking with me carrying my single piece of luggage that I discovered did not have a handle for rolling once I arrived in New York. My baggage which was acceptable in RDU, weighed to much at Emirates Airlines. My luggage was separated from me until I reach the next leg of my trip in Dubai. I was able to retrieve my laptop that my son installed Skype. One of the dissapointments is the airports do not have free WiFi. I purchased a global WiFi plan that works at over ’250,000′ locations. The laptop battery which I charged before leaving began to show how defective it is. Before i could set up my Skype connection, over 2/3′s of the power was diminished. The charger for the laptop was left in the one bag I brought for the flight. I sent an email to family, but that was it.

I was able to call Barbara from the plane’s phone while in flight. I not sure of the cost for the calls (found out later that the charge is $5 a minute!!). Diya will try to turn my cell phone on and give me global coverage.

Politics is universal. No Chrisrian or religious music on list of choices from the planes entertainment source. A movie about Valerie Plame Wilson and the deception behind the weapons of mass destruction leading up to the Iraq war.

I have three seats to myself, which means i can stretch and read Online Bible, watch videos, listen to music on my mp3 player or catch up on sleep.

All things work together for the good to those that love Christ Jesus. Dubai has a duty free shop which allowed me to buy a netpad for $333. This takes the place of my old computer that would not hold a charge and to buy a new battery would have cost over $100.

From the plane you could see human ingenuity with the way the country is developed around the sea. The looks pretty sandy but the people appear cordial. Over 100 nationalities call Dubai home which makes it one of the leading tourist nation in the world. The civil unrest seen in other Middle Eastern countries has not manifested here. However, there is a block on the use of Skype. This somewhat changes my mode of communication while here. It was the internet that precipitated the uprising in Eqypt so I think they are proactive here in Dubai to prevent the same thing from happening.

God through His Son Christ Jesus has truly been very good. This flight is about 13 hours to Dubai.

All of life is based on God’s word. The homosexual agenda is an attack on the word of God as told to me by a state legislator. It is not an issue of discrimination. African Americans could not change their DNA, but homosexuals and lesbians can change parnters at anytime and many do. The Holy Word of God is the only writings that consistently cry out against this abhorrent lifestyle. Remove God’s Word and there is nothing to prevent this deviant lifestyle from becoming law. The same thing goes for pedophiles, polygamy and beastiality.

Shall we follow the lead of European countries and condone such debased lifestyles. In some of these countries only 6% of marriagable couples are getting married. Debauchery and no committments are the norm for the day. This is what happens when a society does not consider the sanctity of marriage the way the Heavenly Father intended it to be.

Proverbs tells us that knowledge begins with the fear of the Lord. So whether it is academics or sports parents have to teach first and foremost who God is and why He send Jesus Christ is son to die for our sins. So the emphasis needs to be on righteous lessons our children and students are taught from teachers, coaches and parents.

Pr 13 tells us that that the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. So for parents who chose to home school to limit their child’s exposure to the inadequacies and inconsistency of traditional public school, as righteous believers in Christ Jesus, they are still afforded access to the athletic programs offered by school.

I agree with Peace, that as tax payers working and paying taxes, children in the same community should have access. In the natural sense, the parent’s choice to home school saves instructional cost, class size, equipment and the like.

I look at choice this way for schools. The K-12 experience is to expose a child to all learning opportunities so that they can decide what best suits their interest. Much like the first time a child has hamburger. Most like it with only ketchup a burger and a bun. As the child grows and the taste buds develop those plain simple burgers come with lettuce, tomatoes, bacon, cheese and many other combinations.

We must continue to train up children in fear of God, righteousness and truth based on the Bible which is why Bible study and Sunday school is as important and Sunday worship. This is when these questions should be asked and discussed within a congregation so that the body of Christ understands the passion the Jesus had.

John 1 tells us Jesus came for a people that didn’t receive him, but those who did he gave them power. It never says Jesus was disgruntled or angry that they didn’t believe. It ever turn he offered them wisdom, forgiveness and understanding, up until he yield his Spirit on the cross of Calvary.

True believers understand 1 Corinthians 3 that says one plants, one waters and God gives the increase. All believers in the Body of Christ are ministers or helpers to their brothers and sisters. It is not done for gain or profit or so that the community gives back. Rather that one soul or many souls come to know the saving grace of Jesus. A true pastor would explain this to his congregants.

Frustrated, remember these two commandments of Jesus and your frustrations will be replaced with love. Matthew 22:37-40 tells us to first, love the Lord with all our heart soul and mind. And second, it tells us to love our neighbor as our self. So by “giving in one direction” to those neighbors in need is equal to giving to you. It is ultimately out of love for God. And our reward for giving is the Holy Spirit which leads and guides our footsteps and our paths. The Holy Spirit orchestrates and directs us so if we never get anything from the person we give to, God gives it back to us in wisdom, knowledge, health and grace.

Jeremiah 31:29 In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s teeth are set on edge. 30 But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.

The above scriptures means that the children should not be punished for the wrongs of the father.  The parents should lead the children into right, but when they do not, the children will judged for their own wrong doings and not what the parent did.  Children should be given every opportunity to explore who they can be come, as long as it is righteous.

On the civil side, all taxpayers should have access to the same benefits. The public schools are for the public’s use and if the determination has been made that children of taxpayers are able to participate in atheletic events then we follow the laws of the land.

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil

On your other point, God is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him. Freely we have received from the Lord freely we give.

Matthew 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Christ Jesus our Lord tells us to give. The church would do a disservice to the name of Christ Jesus not to give to those in need. On the other hand, the Bible says if you do not work you do not eat. The Holy Scriptures do not encourage laziness, but it does encourage helping the less fortunate among us, whether it be children or adults.

This got me to thinking about church. If you have someone who receives the benefits a church has to offer, such as sermons, pastor visits, help for the needy, etc but doesn’t give back anything to the church, how long do you think it will be before members of the congregation rise up and voice their complaints to the pastor? They are following the doctrine of it is better to receive than give. I have a feeling a lot of church goers practice this methodology. What should we as members of a church do? I can only tolerate so much giving in one direction.

Matthew 22:40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill

Matthew 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Moses died a physical death. His appearance on the Mount of Transfiguration shows that God is the God of the living and not the dead. In other words there is no such thing as soul sleep. Soul sleep means that you rest in the earth until the resurrection. Once we die we now go into the presence of God or we enter into hell. Moses as alluded to in the Book of Jude went to be with God the Father.

Deuteronomy 34:7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.

Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Christ Jesus our Lord said as a man thinketh so is he. Everything that we take in, whether consciously or subconsciously, affects our behavior.

Continuing to watch things that are horrific will desensitize us to true tragedies. That is why it no longer bothers you as an adult. This is why people are so indifferent when there is murder in a high crime neighborhood. They have seen and heard so much about murder that it no longer bothers them. This is what watching such horrific things can do to you.

You must also be aware that everything you take in affect your future actions. Do you find yourself going to new places looking over your shoulder. Are there certain neighborhoods you are afraid to enter. Do you find yourself saying things that you thought you would never say. All these actions or reactions are caused by experiences you had in life either through viewing or hearing or participating.

We as believers must be careful to guard the entry ways into our hearts. If you do view these things, think about what the response of a Christian should be in such situations. This way it will prepare you to behave as a Christian should something tragic happen.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things

Serving the True and Living God is the least road taken today, with the majority of mankind choosing to take the broad and crooked road of the world. Self-indulgence, immorality and a total disregard for the ways of our Lord will lead many down that road of destruction. PRAISE BE TO GOD, our HEAVENLY FATHER, through CHRIST JESUS our SAVIOR and REDEEMER, that we as believers do not have to suffer the same fate.

It is by the precious, shed blood of Christ Jesus that we are cleansed from all unrighteousness, forgiven of our sins, born again unto Almighty God our Heavenly Father, and having our names written in The Lamb’s Book of Life that we CAN rejoice and be exceedingly glad about the future.

Be ye prayerful, be ye watchful, be ye always ready for the soon return of Jesus. Regardless of the turmoiluous days ahead, remember that our hope and salvation is in the LORD.

INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL

It is generally known that the nation of Israel began with the call of God to Abraham in Genesis Chapter 12.
1 And the LORD said to Abram, Go out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father’s house into a land that I will show you. 2 And I will make you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you shall be a blessing. 3 And I will bless those that bless you and curse the one who curses you. And in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Abram was a Hebrew (Gen 14:13 ). He belonged to Eber line. The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, show the line that God would use to bring his only begotten son Jesus Christ into the world. But where did we get the name Jews. A name applied first to the people living in Judah after the Babylonian Captivity, all these descendants of Abraham were called Jews. The northing tribes were called Israel and the southing tribes were called Jews (compose of Judah and Benjamin tribes).

Where did we get the name Israel from, it can be found in Genesis 32:28 and he (man in verse 24, or an angle Hosea I2:40) said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel (that mean ruling with God). Israel is the only group of people that can trace their line or beginning from Abram’s call by God, about 2090 B.C. till now.

What is the rest of Israel history, (1) the bible, (2) the people, (3) the land, (4) the temple?
The Bible
Israel gave• us The bible by the Holy Spirit 2 Tim 3; 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God., 2 Pet 1 :21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man : but holy man of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. The Bible was written by some forty different authors, on three continents, over a period of 1600 years. These men came from all walks of life. The Old Testament is based on the Masoretic Hebrew text that underlines the King James Bible, the Daniel Bomberg edition, edited by Ben Chayyim the 2nd Rabbinic Bible of 1524-25. The Priests were to make copies of the law every seven years, Deut 31: 10¬,12. A copy of the law for the king Deut 17: 18 and the priests were to put a copy of the law in the side of the Ark Deuteronomy ‘31 :24-26. It was mandatory that the Levities keep the law Ezra 7:10, Mal 2:7.

The Bible is the best selling book. Since 1611 it has sold 800,000,000 copies. Over 2,000,000 per year and over 5000 per day.

The People
39 B.C.-325 A.D.
Rome, the dreadful and terrible beast of Daniel 7, decided to lord over the promise land and God covenant people. During these centuries, Rome laid siege to Jerusalem three times (39 B.C., and 135 A.D.). Over 1,000,000 Jews were killed when Titus destroyed Jerusalem in 70 A.D., and an estimated 97,000 were taken into slavery and captivity.

Then it:lto slavery and captivity.

Then Hadrian established Jerusalem as a pagan city in 135 A.D. by erecting a temple for Jupiter at Mt. Mariah (where God’s temple belongs) and a temple for Venus at Golgotha. The Jewish worship was abolished, and the Jews were banned from the city for the next two hundred years. In 315 A.D. Constantine declared Roman Catholicism the state religion of the Roman Empire and passed numerous laws against the Jews. Within another 150 years, Vandals and other factors contributed to the fall of Rome’s imperial power, but to pretend that her treatment of the Jews was not a factor is to deny the accuracy of Genesis 12:1-3. It may very well be that Rome could have continued as an imperial power had she blessed the Jews rather than cursed them.

500-400 A.D. Known as the Dark Ages (improperly termed the Middle Ages in government schools), this is the period when the Roman Catholic Church ruled Europe and inflicted much persecution against Christians and Jews. The Jews were labeled Christ killers and often forced into servitude, other hardships, or just plain murdered. Payday came on October 31, 1517, when a German by the name of Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the door of the Castle Church at Wittenberg. This began the Protestant Reformation, a movement from which Rome would never fully recover.

613 A.D. Roman Catholic Spain Jumped in on the act of Jewish persecution by forcing all Jews to either submit to pagan baptism (sprinkling). This mode arose because people came to feel there was something magical about baptism and that it brought salvation to the recipient. The first record of the use for this purpose first use of sprinkling was record in A.D.250 when Novatian lay sick in bed and thought he was to die. lIe had water poured all over him on the bed as an act of baptism. If Jews did not submit they would have to leave the country. Not understanding that baptism was a part of the ritual purification that Jews did often. Women were required to be purified or baptized after their monthly cycle. A Mikveh or baptismal pool was required for every synagogue, especially for cleansing of the women and the men serving in the priesthood.

In less than 100 years, Muslims would take the country and,rule it for over 700 years.

1391-1497 Spain persecuted Jews again with murder slavery and forced baptism. Then, in 1588, God sank the Spanish Armada Gust as He promised in Psalm 48:& Tarshish is believed to be Spain). This allowed England to produce the King James Bible only twenty -three years later while stopping the spread of the Catholic idolatry throughout the growing Empire.

King James was a scholar, and king. He wanted a Bible for the common people. It was translated by 48-52 men. Some of them died before it was completed. It took seven years to complete.

From1605-1611. These men spoke a minimal of four to fifteen languages. The world knew the King James Committee was translating the Bible, Some of the other Bible versions were done in secret.

The Roman Catholic in 1911 said they would not use The King James Bible. In the other versions read I Cor 1: 18, Heb 10: 14 and they read I am being saved. They are not saved only being saved. This act is not complete this is a Roman Catholic saying for they need Purgatory to purify them, and the prayer of the Pope to get them to heaven. The New American Standard Bible has you are a chosen race mean first in this text that there is only one holy race, which race, Black, Caucasian, Asian , This mean only one group will go to heaven The word race became popular with Darwin.

The Caucasian the superior race, and all other race inferior. See this reference 1 Pet 2:9.
Catholic idolatry , as you likely know, is forbidden in the second commandment, written by a Jew.

The Roman Catholic in 600 A.D. started praying to Mary, dead saint, angle, and use image of Mary and Jesus to ask for intersection in their life. The Bible or Sola Scriptural as the Roman Catholic say. In John 14 chapter to come through Jesus to the Father God. The Christian use faith as found in John 4:24, not sight.

In 1492 Spain drives out its Jewish population, and take their property. Christopher Columbus a Jew left for his safety and he had read in Isaiah 40:22 that the world ‘was round not flat.
The Mameluke Period, the word means slave the Mamelukees were Turkish slaves in Egypt. They took over the throne of Egypt. After this they overran Palestine or Israel the true name as we shall see when we get to the land. The Jews and Christians Law, Jews had to wear yellow turbans and Christian).s blue turbans to distinguish them from the first class Moslem citizens. There was a prolonged droughts and food disappeared. People ate cats, dogs, vermin, and occasion even little children. This is known as cannibalism and can affect the brain. The symptoms are trembling, laughing,

These are some of the symptom of Kuru disease that result from cannibalism, other are headache, and joint pains.
1517 -1917 The Ottoman Turkish Period
In 1517 Selim I of Turkey defeated the Mamelukes and took over Palestine for 400 year the Turkish occupation of Palestine. Among other achievements, he rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem.
In 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte entered the Middle East. During that year he captured Egypt with 30,000 troops and a large fleet of ships. He then announced his intention to conquer Palestine and restore to the Jews. Because of this ,m many Jews looked upon him as their true Messiah, an honor they had last paid some 665 years prior to Bar Cochba.
In 1838 The British Consulate opened in Jerusalem, the first of its kind. Protestants, Catholic, and Jews also founded missions during this time. By 1914 there were 90,000 Jews
1791-1917 Persecution arose in Russia as many Jewish men were required to serve up to twenty-five years in the military, Jewish children were deprived of a proper education m and frequent massacres occurred in an effort to thin out the population . Payday came in 1917 when Russia fell from the hands of the Czars into the hands Of Communism.
1917 a British General name Allenby, who just happened to be a Bible believing Christians , Knowing that they were being invaded by a prophet from God in the sky, the Turks became terrified and gave up the city without Allenby firing a single shot.
In World War I, Chaim Weizmann was Russia born Jew; he was credited with developing a method of producing acetone from maize. Which was needed for the production of artillery shells, and in 1917 he was credited with securing a promise from the British to build a Jewish National Home in Palestine, better known as the Balfour Declaration.
Later the British Government announces a White Paper which virtually abrogates the Balfour Declaration . The Yishuv is restricted to a status if of permanent minority.

1917 The British Government announces a “White Paper” which virtually abrogates the Balfour
Declaration. The Yishuv is thereby restricted to a status of permanent minority. The Arabs are given the right to veto Jewish immigration. Further Jewish settlement is also strangled by land purchase restrictions. In his “Book of Betrayal” Ben-Gurion outrightly rejects these measures and henceforth leads the Zionist movement in its endeavors, irrespective of the British policy.

One is transnational, the Association of Messianic Believers (AMB) created as a non-denominational umbrella uniting both Jewish and Gentile believers with a Messianic vision emphasizing on outreach, education, and disaster relief.
2000 Facts & Myths about Messianic Congregations in Israel, 1998-1999 reports the existence of
about 80 such congregations. The estimate of Messianic Jews worldwide is around 100,000. The first Messianic Lebanese-Arab congregation is planted in Nahariya, Israel, a fruit of the Messianic Jewish movement. Joint friendly meetings between Christian Arabs and Messianic Jews are held regularly. Efforts are also made to unify the branches within the Messianic Jewish movement in Israel and those in the Diaspora through conferences, sharing, education and support.
The MJBI links with Har Zion Messianic Congregation in Brazil and Netiviyah Ministries in Jerusalem, Israel, to form the fourth school in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, in February of 2000.

The Land
What most people do not know is that there are two Old Testament covenants pertaining to the land of Israel. The Abrahamic Covenant gives the title of the land to the Jews an in perpetuity. A later covenant, the Mosaic Land covenant or Canaan covenant – of Deuteronomy 28-30 defines the conditions for possession and enjoyment of the land.

This latter covenant is often referred as the Palestinian Covenant, but that is a misnomer, for the land was never called Palestine until after the second Jewish revolt in 132-135 A.D. At that time the Romans dubbed it Palestine to erase the memory of its Jewish heritage and to insult the Jews, for Palestine is the Latin word for Philistine, the ancient enemy of Israel.

Israel was promise by God to own about 300,000 sq miles see Genesis 15:18, Ezekiel 47:13-21.
The Jews now own about 33,000 sq miles. After the Six Day war the Jews gave most of the land back, but let the Muslim worship in Jerusalem; at the Doom of the Rock. This is the site of the Temple. The Muslim built in 691 A.D. The Muslim say any land conquers for Allah is always for Allah, but did they stop to think that the Jews defeated them in 1967 and did not have to let them on the land. The Muslim got the land from the Roman in 638 A.D. In 1004 B.C. Davie conquer the land from the Jebusite (2 Samuel 5:6¬9, I Chron 11:5-7) and before that Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and win and blessed Abraham. Abraham latter returned to offer Isaac as a sacrifice to God (Gen22:2.).
Palestinian never existed prior to this century. So they do not have any rights to the land. I will now discuses some myths.
1) Palestinian has always been there. False they follow the Jews hoping to Reap from the benefits that belong to the Jews
2) Palestinian is refugee from the land. False Ottoman Turkeys changed Meaning of a refugee form a person who once lives there, and who made Their living there and was force to move by the Roman or Hitler. To any One Living on the land two years before 1948.
3) The Ottoman Turkeys charged the Jews 100-120% interest to rent the Land, the Palestinian could not stay for long because of the rough land That had been flooded by the Mediterranean Sea in the past.
4) The Peel Committee says there have always been a Jews present Israel.

The Temple
Israel is God time piece, and we can see it clearly in the temple. First the Tabernacle that moved when Israel was not stable , in unbelief for forty years. From 1446-1406 B.C. This continue with them even after they or more correctly God defeated the city Jericho. The time of the Judges lasted about 363 years. God had Promise Abraham that he would make him a great Nation. To be a nation there are three things needed I) land, 2) law) and 3)People . This was all fulfill in Davie the King, and he was a man after God own heart. He obtain the land ,and money to built the Temple but God would not let him built the Temple because he had blood on his hand .King Solomon built the Temple, he even said in I king 8:27 but will God indeed dwell in the earth? Behold, the heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built.

During Ezekiel time the priest, was not studying the law, the people wear worshiping Tammuz the goddess of love, Sumerian myths, and according to Babylon myths he was Nimrod reborn who gives life in the spring. In the celebration of the east sun or as we say Easter. Constantine let the people worship.

God said for seventy years you will be in bondage to the Babylon (Jeremiah 25:11-12).This happen in 605 B.C. and in 586 B.C. the Temple was burned. Seventy years later they enter the completed temple.
The next temple will be King Herod’s temple. That He build, Partly to be accepted by the Jews since he was part Hebrew from Esau line, and because he was a great builder. He started to rebuild the temple about 20A.D.

When you read Malachi you will know that God said he will turn to the Gentile because of the life style of the Priests not keeping the law on their lips, offering unclean animals, people not bring their tithes, and devoice. God is a God of order. (I Cor 14;30-35).And because he had the church in mind from the foundation of the world (Eph 1;4; Matt 25:34)
God did not speak for about 400 years ; till it was time for the for runner John the Baptist (Mal 3:1) not Isaiah that founded in the NlV (Mark 1 :2) The Temple is a pattern of heaven Hebrew 5-1 Oth chapter.
High Priest (Heb 9:6-10) Jesus Christ
Incense (Rev 5:8) Prayer
Throne (Rev 7:9) Mercy of God

Furniture (Heb 8.2; 9: 1-5) Ministries of Christ Sanctuary (Heb 9:23-24) Heaven
Veil (Heb 10:19-22) Flesh of Christ
Jesus Christ is the temple (John 2:19,21), the fulness of the Godhead (CoI2:9). There are basically two things that are done in the temple, worship, and serve.
A) Worship, because he is worthy to be worship above all other gods.
B) Serve, that God can see righteousness in believers.
Tribulation Temple that is found in 2 Th 2:4; Rev 11: 1-2. This temple is desecrated by Antichrist and sacrifices cease (Da 9:27 ; Mt 24:15; Mk 13:14) This temple shall be in Jerusalem ( Rev 11:8; H eb 13:12 ) This is the temple that unbelievers shall come to worship, thinking that are worship God, but the two witness cause fire to kill unbelievers, not rain for forty two months and, plagues.
Millennial Temple that is found in ( Eze 40-48; Hag 2:6-9) … the place of my throne. In the midst of the children of Israel for ever. The restoration of National Israel, The reign of Jesus Christ on earth. Millennial Kingdom resumption of animal sacrifices and festival worship schedule.
New Jerusalem comes down from heaven (Rev 21:2, 10) but not touching the earth. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the Temple of it (Rev 21 :22). And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

Oh how wonderful it is to be in right relationship with the Heavenly Father through His Son Christ Jesus our Lord. It is wonderful to hear that you know how to withdraw to yourself to get in the presence of our God.

However, it is through interaction with others that our Love for God is perfected as it says in I John

4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

It is through trying to win others to Christ Jesus that we discover our own weaknesses. But it is through those weaknesses that we learn that we are that much more in need of the Heavenly Father. And it is through that need that grows us more in love with the Heavenly Father through His Son Christ Jesus our Lord.

It is is good to withdraw and spend time with our Lord in prayer. It is those times that should give us strength to go out and face those, especially our brothers in Christ, that may not understand or even agree with us.

I find myself, at times, trying to “prove” my christian walk to other Christians simply because they are looking to see my “good fruit / manifestations of God’s blessings” as evidence of His presence / favor in my life.

Then, I think about His goodness and all He has done for me and realize that He is the One that I owe an account of my christian walk .

It is because of His mercy,grace, love and forgiveness that I am saved and not anything that I have done. Moreover, I can not save myself; lest any man can boast, it truly is a gift of God. The most wonderous gift of Father God, which is Christ Jesus, our Lord and King.

Sometimes we can become so wrapped up in gaining the acceptance of other Christians that we lose sight of God’s purpose for our lives; to bring the lost to Christ by living our lives according to His will and way.

It is good to be accepted by others because we need one another for support, fellowship and companionship. Yet, we must never lose sight of the fact that “Only what we do for Christ Jesus will last and lead to an everlasting reward.”

There are times when I feel so alone. Surrounding myself with others oftentimes makes me feel even more lonely. It is when I turn to the written Word of God that the lonliness subsides. God’s words automatically lead me into a state of praise and worship. The Holy Spirit brings a song to my remembrance and I’m having a wonderful time in the presence of the Lord. The Creator of the universe is fellowshipping with me!

I thank Almighty God, my Heavenly Father, for my family and friends; but I thank Him most of all for my JESUS, my one true friend.

I LOVE YOU JESUS. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME. THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND!
