The Future Of Israel - Part Eight

Last week's message illustrated an event that could happen at any moment. The event is called The Rapture Of The Church in which Jesus appears in the clouds and calls to Himself all those who are saved and they will then spend eternity with Him.

Once all Christians have been lifted up to Heaven to live with Jesus, a seven year period will start called The Tribulation. 2Thessalonians 2:3,4,9 says, "Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God . . . The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs and lying wonders." These verses describe the appearance on earth of the Anti-Christ who is on assignment from Satan to destroy Israel and gain control of the whole earth.

Verse 9 says that the Anti-Christ is empowered by Satan with "Power, Signs and Lying Wonders." As a result, he deceives many people even some of the Jewish people who believe he is their long awaited Messiah as he establishes a peace treaty between Israel and their enemies. The Jews are even able to rebuild their Temple in Jerusalem during this period. The Anti-Christ appears to have the ability to solve all of the world's problems and sets up a one world government and one world religion.

All of this does not come as a surprise to Jehovah God. In fact, God will use this time to bring many people around the world into the Kingdom Of God as they receive Jesus as their Savior. Revelation 11 mentions "Two Witnesses" who will describe Jesus as the Savior Of The World plus informing people of the evils of the control of the Anti-Christ.

Additionally, Revelation 14 illustrates 144 thousand Jewish witnesses who will travel around the world to inform people of the love of Jesus as their Savior. As a result, the largest Revival in history will take place during the Tribulation.

In upcoming messages we will learn of The Judgement Of Jehovah God; learn of the Anti-Christ turning on Israel and declaring he is God in the Jewish Temple and learn of Jesus coming back to earth defeating the Anti-Christ.

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Love,

The Future Of Israel - Part Seven

Our message this week will focus on a major God - Ordained Event that will change the lives of all people. This event is called The Rapture Of The Church Of Jesus Christ and will happen to all who know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. How does this affect Israel? It Will Affect All People And Could Take Place At Any Moment!

Jesus said in John 14:2,3 "In My Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." Currently, Jesus resides in Heaven seated on a throne at the right hand of Jehovah God. He desires for all of us, Jews and Gentiles, to come and live with Him. John 14:2 says He is actually preparing a place for all of us to live when we join Him in Heaven.

How can we be with Jesus in Heaven? First and most important, we must receive Him as our Lord and Savior. Romans 10:9 says, "That if you confess with your mouth The Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." If you have not received Jesus as Savior, you may pray a prayer now using the above words of Romans 10:9 and you will be saved. Jesus will hear you and respond to the desire of your heart. This is the most important decision you will make in your life!

Romans 14:2 also says Jesus will come again to receive us to Himself! How will this happen? 1Thessalonians 4:16,17 says, "For The Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet The Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with The Lord."

Most important, instantly Jesus will bring to Himself in the clouds all people who are saved  both dead and alive. The dead who were saved when they died will meet Jesus first then all the living who are saved will likewise meet Jesus to live with Him forever! Hallelujah, Praise The Lord, Hallelujah!

This event is so important to Jesus

 that He comes in the clouds

 with a SHOUT that is a COMMAND

 calling all SAVED people to be with Him forever.

 I pray all of you reading this message will hear the SHOUT of Jesus!

May The Lord Bless You Today And Always,

Frank

The Future Of Israel - Part Six

Continuing our series about the future of Israel, we will discuss this week what we believe will be the next major event in Israel - The Battle Of Gog And Magog illustrated in Ezekiel 38. Who is Gog? He is the leader of a country north of Israel believed to be Turkey or Russia. Ezekiel 38 shows God speaking to Gog and telling him that he will invade Israel leading troops from numerous nations including Iran, Libya and Ethiopia.

Ezekiel 38:15-16 says, "Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you . . . you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know me." Possibly you might be thinking why would Jehovah God allow a massive invasion of His land and His people? We believe verse 16 answers this question when God says, "So that the nations may know Me."

How will the nations get to know God through the Battle Of Gog And Magog? Ezekiel 38:18-19, 21-23, "And it will come to pass at the same time when Gog comes against the land of Israel," says The Lord God, "That My fury will show in My face. For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken; surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel . . . I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains . . . And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed . . . Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself and I will be known in the eyes of many nations."

Jehovah God will intervene and will powerfully win the Battle Of Gog And Magog for Israel and His people! Why? So that all the nations will know that He is Lord Gog Almighty!

The Future Of Israel - Part Five

Ezekiel 36:27-28 says, "I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and you will keep My judgements and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people and I will be your God."

Last week's message illustrated Jehovah God stating He will give His old Covenant People a new spirit and a heart of flesh. This happens when a person, Jew or Gentile, accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We will go a step further this week since verse 28 says, "Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers."

This will also be a very important message which will clarify who owns the Land of Israel according to the Word of God. Genesis 17:7-8 says, "And I will establish My Covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting Covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the Land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God."

These verses describe God establishing an unconditional Covenant with Abraham and his descendants who became the Jewish people. An unconditional Covenant means it will never be broken and God will do exactly what He promised. What did God promise?

He Promised That He Will Give

 The Whole Land Of Canaan

 To His Covenant People. 

God Gave It, It Should Not And Will Not

 Be Taken Away! 

Hallelujah! 

How does the Word of God define The Whole Land Of Canaan? Chapter 15 of Genesis describes how God established the Abrahamic Covenant. Genesis 15:18 says, "On the same day The Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates.'"

Very important! The land that Jehovah God gave to the Jewish People includes all of current day Israel including Judea and Samaria. It also includes from a river in Egypt to the Euphrates River including parts of Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Any Bible scholar now realizes that God's Covenant People have never occupied all of this land. This Is True! However, the day is coming when they will occupy and live in all the land given to them by Jehovah God!

When will this happen? We will answer this question and many more as we continue our series on The Future Of Israel. Stay Tuned.

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,

The Future Of Israel - Part Four

Ezekiel 36:24,26 says, "For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries and bring you into your own land . . . I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh."

As we continue our series on The Future Of Israel, this week's message probably will be the most important because it addresses the spiritual condition of every person's body, soul and spirit now and in the future. We will start by sharing the message in Ezekiel 36 but will also reference the exact same message in Jeremiah and Hebrews.

Notice in Ezekiel 36:26 God says, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you." Is anything too difficult for our God? No! When a person becomes a born-again Christian, they receive a new spirit - The Holy Spirit and a Heart of Flesh. What does this mean? When we receive the Holy Spirit we receive part of The Triune God who comes to live within us and becomes our Counselor. He softens our heart making it a Heart of Flesh causing us to be able to live lives pleasing to Jehovah God. Hallelujah!

We at For Zion's Sake Ministry have learned that when Jehovah God repeats a message we should pay close attention. In this case, God repeats this same message in Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 8:10 and Hebrews 10:16. Bless His Holy Name! 

Why is this message so important to Jehovah God? He desires for ALL people to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Possibly this message has caused you to realize you need to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. If this is the case please pray the following prayer with me as stated in Romans 10:9.

Jesus, I know I am a sinner

Please forgive me of all my sins

I believe in my heart You are Lord

I confess with my mouth 

God raised You from the dead

I am now saved.

Thank You Jesus!

All The Hosts Of Heaven Are Rejoicing!
