A Christian
Exodus?
The
most privileged group in heaven—those
who get to follow Christ wherever He goes and share His throne, will
sing the song of Moses and the Lamb, a song that no one else can
sing, for it’s the song of their experience that is unique…
Revelation 14,15.
The song of the Lamb
is,
“The Lord is my shepherd... though I walk through the valley of death, I
will fear no evil, [eating] in the presence of my enemies, and I will
dwell in the house of the Lord forever”
Psalm 23
The song of Moses
is found in Exodus 15. It reflects on God’s deliverance from Egypt which
was like America now.
Aren’t we also in
bondage to a
medical system that itself is
a leading cause of
death? The
Bible
gives the
call to
come out of
Babylon (confusion), “for by her sorceries [pharmekeia
is the Greek word] are all nations deceived.”
Rev 18:23.
Aren’t we also in
bondage to an
educational system that has been getting steadily worse since its
failure in the 80’s? Now their teaching a gay agenda!
Aren’t we in bondage
to false worship of American idols in the empty world of Hollywood stars
and rock music, giving us bad role models and failing homes with most
marriages ending in divorce.
Aren’t we also in
bondage to a
welfare system that teaches poverty and pays mothers to have children
out of wedlock?
Aren’t we also in
bondage to a
legal system that lets Casey Anthony
or OJ
Simpson
go free and
paroles those convicted of murder or rape, and opens its prisons when
the budget isn’t adequate to pay their TV and easy lifestyle inside?
Aren’t we also in
bondage to a
corrupt congress who vote benefits for illegal aliens and then tells
senior citizens that Social Security is going broke?
Last but not least
we're in bondage to false religion
that is pushing for a New World Order that the Bible condemns in its
imagery of Revelation 13:15-17. To understand this better, please visit
America in Prophecy,
2nd column.
How many ways can we
spell BROKE for the system before we recognize God's plan for another Exodus?
God wasted Egypt, attacking their gods until Israel (a word meaning those who prevail with
God and overcome) walked free.
Egypt worshiped the
Nile; it turned to blood. We worship money; loving it is the root of all evil and
causes blood to flow like in Egypt’s Nile.
Israel's Release from Egypt came at the end of 430 years, Exodus
12:41. That is a prophetic time period seen also in Ezekiel 4:5,6. God
asked Ezekiel to lie on his side 390 days, each day for a year that
Israel was in apostasy, and 40 days, each day for a year that Judah was
in apostasy.
We have been focusing on Israel,
which did not learn their lessons, and
they went into apostasy again and God allowed them to be taken captive
by the Assyrians circa 720 BC. If that's an accurate date from Google,
it offers us speculation for this year, 2011.
God said, If you don't learn your lesson,
I will punish you
seven times more, Leviticus 26:18,21,24,28. 7 x 390 years = 2730
years of exile. Subtracting 720, the date that it began, gives us 2010,
but there was no year "0" so that it is 2011.
A huge event impending?
When Judah's exile was ending,
there was a decree to restore and build Jerusalem that allowed them to
return. We see a reference to it in Daniel 9:25.
We might expect something similar
for Israel, and this has ominous
overtones for those living in Jerusalem now because it implies and
impending destruction.
The prophet Zechariah gives a serious
picture. He quotes God as saying, "I will
gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be
taken, and the houses rifled and the women ravished, and half the city
shall go forth into captivity.
"Then shall the LORD go forth and fight against those nations as when He
fought in the days of battle." Zechariah 14:2,3.
This is not hard to imagine with Israel surrounded by Muslims and Palestinians who have no love for
Israel. And President Obama's speech on May 19, calling for Israel to
give land for peace and turning their borders back to pre-1967 lines
that are indefensible, could easily allow Zechariah's prophecy to occur.
Twice in history the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed
on the 10th day
of the 5th month.
Jeremiah 52:12 shows this for Solomon's Temple, and
Josephus, a Jewish historian gives the same date for Herod's Temple in
70 AD in is Wars of the Jews.
Both of those times meant the end of an era,
but we also in 2011 are at
the end of a prophetic period, if 720 BC was the date for
Israel's captivity by Assyria. Calamity could be impending and August 10
would have huge significance as the 10th day of the 5th Jewish
month--they count from the first new moon after the spring equinox.
Note: If such a
calamity does occur, there is a biblical message that needs to be
understood, and the reader can get more information at

America's Downward Slide
Push to Overturn the
Defense of Marriage Act: The White House threw its
backing behind a bill that would repeal a 15-year-old law that defines
marriage as between a man and a woman.
Washington Post,
July 20, 2011
California
Gov. Edmund Brown signed
legislation that requires public schools to teach that homosexuals, transgenders and others alternative sexual lifestyles are positive role
models for children in public schools.
WorldNetDaily, 7-14-2011
If you love your children
and want what’s best, get them out of public schools. Private and
church-based schools flourish, and many spelling bees and science awards
go to home-schoolers, supporting God’s words to Israel, “You shall teach
them…”
Deuteronomy 6:7
Speaking of the end-times,
Christ said, “It was the same in the days of
Lot,”
Luke 17:28. God destroyed Sodom in an act of judgment.
Dr. James
Dobson says,
“We are awash in evil and the battle is still to be waged We are right
now in the most discouraging period of that long conflict. Humanly
speaking we can say that we have lost all those battles.”
Focus on the Family
The restoration and uplifting of humanity begins in the
home. The work of parents underlies every other. Society is composed of
families, and is what the heads of families make it. Out of the heart
are "the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23); and the heart of the
community, of the church, and of the nation is the household. The
well-being of society, the success of the church, the prosperity of the
nation, depend upon home influences.”
This quote comes from a classic book, subtitled
Health and Happiness

Choose A Better Destiny
With a
society of broken systems for government, medical care, education, law
and order, family and welfare, wouldn’t it be wise to consider our
options?
Medical Care?
Hardly a week goes by that some
drug is not being recalled for its harmful effects. Current
headlines included abuse by the
shrinks: Mass
Psychosis in the U.S.
The Oath of Hippocrates
calls physicians to do no harm, but every
drug in the 3500-pg Physcian’s
Desk Reference has a long
list of harm that it can cause, and the likelihood of it multiplies with
the length of time one takes that chemical, usually to relieve a
condition the person brought about by their unhealthy diet or lifestyle.
Most of us were born “normal,”
and if we have a problem later, we did it to
ourselves by what we put in our mouths. For serious help on this issue
with lost cost DVD & book, visit
Choose a Better Destiny.
Wouldn’t it
be great to discover that God is not taken by surprise, and He has a
plan for all believers in the Bible that goes well beyond trying to fix
what His word says is “Babylon.” [confusion]
“Babylon is
fallen…come out of her, My people, that you partake of her sins and
that you receive not of her plagues…” Revelation 18:2,4.
A Call Out
of the fallen systems of society is given by angels [Greek word meaning
“messenger”] in Revelation 14:8 in the context of a time of judgment,
verse 7.
Judgment =
Crisis: the Greek word is
krisis and as we see crises mounting everywhere we should look up
and know the source of our hope is not deaf and He has a plan.
God
declares the end from the beginning, so His plan is not new, and in
the book of beginnings, Genesis, God covenanted with Abraham to give
land for his descendants.
That solemn
promise wasn’t just for Jews. The apostle Paul who wrote more than
the others said, “If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise.”
Galatians 3:29
The Real
Issue: Who is Israel?
Israel was the northern kingdom with 10 tribes that split when
Solomon’s son, Rehoboam, taxed the people heavily. The 10 northern
tribes, also called Ephraim in the Bible because they were the largest,
went into apostasy led by Ephraim.
God
scattered Israel among the nations. They were taken captive by
Assyria circa 720 BC but never returned. Many moved into Europe,
intermarried with Christians, fleeing the papal oppression for freedom
in the New World.
America
became a haven for Israel like Egypt was in Joseph’s time, but
things changed for Egypt to oppression. Things have changed here too
because America didn’t cherish the wise principles of self-government
that it had.
The Supreme
Court entrance sculptured with the great law-givers and in the
center is Moses with the 10 Commandments—a masterpiece of
self-government.
If we
understood the principles of biblical law as a “law of liberty,” (James
1:25), we would not need big government to get into our
lives, businesses, schools, and even our homes telling us what to do and
how to do it.
“The love
of money is the root of all evil,” and government allowed greedy men
to get control of the money system and again government allowed banking
policies that set the stage for 2008.
Because of
greed for power, government is further pushing us toward a New World
Order in which everyone must go along with the system and receive a mark
and number that the Bible condemns. This is further explained at
America in Prophecy.
The wrath
of God is promised to all who go along with a New World Order and
accept the mark of their control and false government in the face of an
opportunity that God will give for a kingdom as He had when He took
Israel from Egypt to Sinai where they covenanted to obey His laws and
they became His kingdom,
Exodus 19.
The
greatest theologian of the Bible wrote, “All those things happened
to them for examples… they were written for [us]… ends of the world,”
1 Corinthians 10:1,11.
God Married
Israel at Sinai when they made a covenant and He laster said, “I am
married to you,” Jeremiah 3:14.
The
Christians message, “the Bridegroom comes” has the same meaning as
for Israel in Egypt and the need of going to the land God covenanted to
give. In marrying Christ we must make a covenant that honors His intent
to marry us and the land—it’s all part of the
New Covenant Promise
in
Ezekiel 36:24-28
&
Jeremiah 31:10,17,31.
This is a
perfect answer to the New World Order and the intent to control and
mark everyone, and requiring false worship. And this answer is not only
for Christians, but for Jews as shown in the next column, and for anyone
who desires to be part of God’s kingdom in the end-time.

"THERE
IS ANOTHER WAY"
Many years ago, while Yitzhak
Shamir was Prime Minister of Israel, a woman of G-d came to see me. This
lady had a great love for Israel and prayed continually for the real
peace of Jerusalem.
She said she had had a clear
vision as to what was to happen in the near future concerning Israel.
This is what she saw:
The day would come when, for
the sake of achieving peace the Israelis would surrender most of Judea
and Samaria to Palestinians.
However, after Israel had
withdrawn its military forces, the Palestinians would initiate a
campaign of terror in order to render the "West Bank" Judenrein -
free of any and all Israeli Settlements.
In her vision this lady saw
the shock wave that went through Israel, with the Jews saying to one
another, but we thought we would achieve peace through our willingness
to surrender, not these massacres! She saw that in the end, Israel was
forced to re-enter all the areas the IDF had vacated, with Israeli tanks
even moving into Jericho.
In an interview with Jerusalem Post on 10.08.2001 the then leader of
Israel's opposition, Yossi Sarid was quoted:
"Every dispute around the
world in history was solved through negotiations".
This mantra repeatedly
verbalized across Israel's political spectrum, the notion that a
solution with the Palestinians can only be found through negotiations
is, however, entirely false.
Israel's negotiations have
actually brought more violence, not less. The ONLY WAY a political
solution can be reached via negotiations is if an Israeli government
comes to power, which, for the sake of regional peace, would be willing
to change Israel's nature so that it would no longer be a sovereign
JEWISH state.
World history is replete with
examples demonstrating that conflicts initiated by aggressive regimes
are usually only resolved by military might. From the Islamic conquest
of Europe, through the aggression of Nazi Germany and Japan, through
Soviet aggression against Berlin, Argentina's invasion of the Falklands,
Noriega's dictatorship, North Korea's designs on South Korea and Iraq's
invasion of Kuwait, all these aggressors have been turned back by
military means.
Through Kissingers' negotiations with Hanoi,
all America's military investment into ensuring that South Vietnam
remained free, was lost. The north overran the south as a direct result
of the negotiated settlement.
We know that Eastern Europe was enslaved for
decades by the Soviet Union as a result of negotiations between
Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. Negotiations in and around Yugoslavia
did not bring the desired result of peace to that fractured land.
In Lebanon, neither the numerous treaties and
negotiations, nor the years-long presence of U.N. peacekeeping troops
have led the country into freedom and independence, and Beirut remains
largely under the control of Damascus and the Hizbollah.
No, Mr. Yossi Sarid, you are wrong when you
(and many others) say: "Every dispute around the world in history was
solved through negotiations."
Posterity is proof that the opposite is true!
Negotiations have very seldom satisfactorily solved conflicts.
In truth, where nations were
persuaded to relinquish the fruits of their military prowess and opt for
negotiated settlements, it is nearly always the aggressor that has won.
The near unanimous lesson
from History is this: You have to win a war in order to win a peace.
And now I am afraid that the
country's leaders will not be willing to even consider what I believe to
be the only way out of its present predicament until Israel has suffered
even more violence.
There is no doubt that what's
called for is a new leadership, a more correct perception of the
realities, a sound recognition of the enemy's aims, and clear,
definitive strategic-political planning. There must be no fumbling in
the dark and no mere tactical expedients, for these will get us nowhere.
If we don't have a well-defined, realistic objective, we won't have to
fight the Arabs for our survival. The Arabs won't need to fight. The
Jews, as usual, will destroy themselves.
(Colonel Jonathan Netanyahu: Self-portrait of a hero, page
227).
So what do we have to wait
for? More bloodshed and massacre until finally Israel will make the only
proper and benign decision which, as the experts have already told us,
is that there is no place for two sovereignties in this small region
that it either becomes a Palestinian State in its entirety or a Jewish
State in its entirety.
In that way, the Palestinian
leadership seems more honest and realistic as they maintain that there
is no place in this land for two states. One has to go, even if it is
through the combination of terror and political pressure, so that in the
end all the land would become Palestine. It is not the settlements that
the Palestinians object too, it is the settlement of Jews in what they
see as their ultimate Palestinian State on all the land of Israel.
I
fear that the correct and only plausible way to prevent this war of slow
destruction, is to take back all the territories given to the
Palestinians (however "politically incorrect") and establish a humane
and just administration under Israeli rule incorporating some of the
following measures.
I
Keep Judea and Samaria.
These are disputed areas - not "occupied territories" even though the
whole world labels them as such in its insistence that in its
self-defensive war Israel took territories that did not belong to her.
Jerusalem's official position on this is now changed and must be adhered
to: Israel liberated its own promised land from illegal occupation by
the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan; an occupation rejected by the entire
international community except for Britain and Pakistan, and which
lasted from 1948 to the Six Day War in 1967. Click to see
the
Truth About the West Bank.
II Israel should
in no way fear a demographic problem arising out of keeping all Samaria
and Judea, but face it vigorously with the following measures:
a) Make bringing Jews home from all over
the world a top governmental priority, with an upgraded Ministry of Aliyah fielding the best candidates to explain abroad the need for
aliyah.
b)
Stimulate natural population growth by
providing financial assistance to large families. Where possible there
should be an overall effort to counsel against the evil of abortion, so
that the tens of thousands of Jewish children that are being aborted
every year will live - to be adopted if need be by Israeli families who
would love to have children of their own.
End all distinction or difference
between those who desire to be loyal citizens of the Jewish State of
Israel, imposing on all the same obligations and giving all the same
rights. This includes the obligation to serve in the Israel Defense
Forces. Such a move may cause a voluntary exodus of many of the Muslim
Arabs now living in Israel with Israeli passports, for a great number
would in all likelihood refuse to serve in "the Jewish Army" to defend a
state which, in their heart of hearts, they wish to see become a
Muslim-controlled Palestinian state. Their departure will free Israel
from those who would otherwise use their citizenship to undermine the
very state they are part of.
IV As Ambassador Yoram Ettinger and
others like Paul Morland, Birkbeek College, University of London, have
amply documented, there is in the foreseeable future no, I repeat no,
demographic danger for Israel to hold on to all her G-d given land.
