The whole Christian world has been deceived by following the patterns set out by the acceptable schools of theology! God’s Word says the whole world has been deceived by Satan. “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him” (Rev. 12:9). The churches of this world has accepted the false premises taught by their respective church. The failure to teach the truth regarding who Israel really is has led “Christian” leaders to accept and teach as facts a perverted and highly speculative view of prophecy. When following false teaching, you come to the wrong conclusion about prophecy! </div> <div> The eyes and minds of Christian leaders and their followers have been closed to the actual role assigned to the House of Israel and the House of Judah today! Jesus warned against being deceived. He warned us of false prophets and false teachings. In Matthew 24 Christ instructed His disciples about things to come and gave the order of events, not only leading to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., but also in the broader application in relations to the events at the end of the age itself. Just before the end of the age, the call was to go out to remember the law of Moses which God commanded unto him in Mt. Horeb. “Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD” (Mal. 4:4-5). In this call of prophecy is the gospel message of the coming Kingdom of God, with its laws, statutes and judgments! This is not a gospel of personal salvation, it is the gospel of the coming Kingdom of God. This good news shall be preached as a witness throughout the world as a witness. “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” (Matt. 24:14). At no other time in history has man been able to write about a subject and have the whole world able to read it within a matter of minutes! As Daniel was told: “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased” (Dan. 12:4). </div> <div> The end of this age has come upon the generation that has seen all these prophecies come to pass. We have seen the false prophets who would oppose the proclamation of the Kingdom gospel. We see religious leaders deceiving the people by their unbelief so that spiritual blindness abounds and many turn away from the truth. Christ told us of these things! “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold” (Matt. 24:11-12). God’s people have become lazy, lethargic and lukewarm. They have a form of godliness but do not have the spiritual depth to fulfill what is required to be the Bride of Christ! “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away” (2 Tim. 3:5). </div> <div> What is a false prophet? Someone misapplying God’s Word and deceiving others. Under this definition thousand of “Christian” leaders have become false prophets in their opposition to His Kingdom and the true gospel as they fight against the restoration of God’s laws, statutes and judgments. Because leaders say it is alright to mix religions (syncretism), teach false doctrine, the love of many has grown cold. God’s people has lost the first love for the coming Kingdom of God. Jesus tells us: “He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Matt. 24:13). </div> <div> Jesus Christ states that the preaching of the glad tidings of the Kingdom will go out as a witness in spite of the opposition of the spiritual leaders. Those who do not want to have Christ rule over them. Christ said: “But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come” (Matt 10:23). </div> <div> It is dishearten to see the brethren turning away from the teachings of Jesus Christ and going back to the Babylonian ways of Judaism! We see people trying to get the Church of God to practice the teachings of the Pharisees and the Judaism of old. Only the House of Israel has been preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom. Only the Anglo-Saxon people of Israel has been preaching the coming Kingdom of God. Judaism does not preach the truth of the New Testament! The House of Judah rejected Christ and would not have Him rule over them. “He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us” (Luke 19:12-14). Because the Jews rejected their Messiah, Jesus Christ gave the kingdom to another! “Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof” (Matt. 21:43). The English speaking nations of Great Britain, United States, Canada and Australia have been given this job of preaching the gospel of the coming Kingdom of God. (Could the 10 servants be the House of Israel today and the citizens be the House of Judah? Luke 19:14). Judah no longer has a king to rule over them. </div> <div> The United Kingdom (Great Britain) has the House of David ruling over it today. God told David there would always be a ruler over Israel from his family. “For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me. Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them” (Jer. 33:17, 19-22,25-26). </div> <div> Today, the House of Judah is being verbally attacked on every side. They cannot do anything right in the eyes of the world. Over the last two thousand years they have been persecuted and killed. Could this be the punishment and curse that the Jews of Jesus’s time asked for? “Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children” (Matt. 27 :25). </div> <div> THE ABOMINATION IS A SIGN! </div> <div> After stating that the Gospel of the Kingdom was to be proclaimed abroad as a witness to all nations, our Lord Jesus Christ than mentioned an event that constitutes a signal of major importance to the wise: “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)” (Matt 24:15 KJV). </div> <div> Ferrar Fenton translates this: </div> <div> “When, therefore, you shall see the </div> <div> desolating beast, foretold through the prophet Daniel take up his position on holy ground--let the reader comprehend.” </div> <div> Moffatt renders it: </div> <div> “When you see the appalling horror spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing erect in the holy place (let the reader note this).” </div> <div> The Interlinear Bible Greek-English (Hendirckson Edition) </div> <div> “When then you see the abomination of </div> <div> desolation spoken via Daniel the prophet, standing in place holy (the one reading let him understand).” </div> <div> Here is a reference to an abomination that will cause desolation so vile that it is declared so prophetically that it will desecrate the Holy Land when it become established there, taking up it’s position in Jerusalem. </div> <div> WHAT IS THIS VILE AND ABOMINABLE DESOLATION? </div> <div> This Abomination that Maketh Desolate is shown to be the devastation and destructiveness of modern warfare. Gabriel pointed out the results to follow the passing of peace. “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate” (Dan. 9:27 KJV). </div> <bR> <div> Moffatt states: </div> <div> “There shall be an appalling abomination.” </div> <div> Ferrar Fenton translates the above: </div> <div> “And the loathsome brute will desolate to </div> <div> the extreme: but at last a wound will be given to the Desolators.” </div> <div> Goodspeed also renders it: </div> <div> “So when you see the dreadful desecration, of which the prophet Daniel spoke, set up in the Holy Place--the reader must take note of this.” </div> <div> Jesus our Christ has stated, “But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains”(Mark 13:14). Other prophecies in Daniel has shown us that there is duality in prophecies! It was first fulfilled in 70 A.D. when Rome destroyed the Temple and the Jews were driven out of Jerusalem. Scripture shows it will be fulfilled again in the consummation of the age when the overspreading abomination will bring in the final desolation. Could this be when Judaism finally takes complete control over Jerusalem? </div> <div> History has proven that Judaism in the time of Christ was not the true religion God gave to Moses. Judaism had taken control of thereligious life of the state and people. If Judaism was the true religion of God, they would have recognized and accepted Jesus as their Messiah. The scriptures show Israel and Judah were taken into captivity because of disobedience to God’s laws, statutes and judgments! </div> <div> We are now witnessing the desolating brute of modern warfare being transferred to the Holy Land. This has been brought about by the establishment of the House of Judah in the land of Israel in May, 1948. The players are all in place and we are watching the final fulfillment of Daniels prophecy. </div> <div> Jesus Christ our Lord has given His people special warning! “Let him that readeth understand” (Mark 13:14). That means to take note and heed the meaning of events. Each day we can read of events that are happening in Israel! Christ also told them in Judea to flee! That is to get out of the land lest they be caught as in a snare because of the destruction soon to break out in Israel and the Middle East! </div> <div> In the daily news we can see the European Union taking a hand in the peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Because the Jews have finally gathered to the land of Palestine we can see the final fulfillment of scripture. It is for this reason we see the moves which are bringing about the desolation in it final manifestation to the land of Israel and preparing the way for the events of the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord! To desolate means to lay waste and to cause ruin, to make wretched, to ravage or destroy the inhabitants of a land. Over the years we have seen the terrible atrocities taken against the Jews and also the Arabs. Violence and bloodshed, murder and torture is happening to Jew and Arab alike. These atrocities clearly mark the movement to the abomination that makes desolate. Following the establishment of this abomination in Palestine the warning is to flee the land. </div> <div> The time is short now. The great and terrible day of the Lord is at hand. “Except these days be shortened there would be no flesh saved alive” (Matt. 24:22). In this day and age with all the nations on alert again because nuclear weapons are plentiful, there is no place on earth where mankind can hide from their destructive forces. Christ said for the elects sake these days shall be shortened! “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened” (Matt. 24:22). For the sake of the covenant God made with His people Israel, God is going to shorten the time of trouble or else the Kingdom itself would be destroyed and all life extinct. </div> <bR> <div> The Churches of God know that the Jews are not the House of Israel, but the House of Judah! We also know that Jerusalem and Judea was given to the House of Judah for their land. But we must remember that the religion of Judaism is not the true religion God gave to Moses. This false religion will lead again to the destruction of the nation of Judah. Just as false religions are leading the House of Israel to destruction and cursings. All these events are leading to the great and terrible day of the Lord. This event will bring about the return of the real Kingdom of God and the true Messiah, Jesus the Christ. He will return as King of Kings and Lord of lords! “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful” (Rev. 17:14). </div> <div> As we can see: </div> <div> FALSE RELIGIONS plays a major role in the abomination that makes desolate!</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
