Jesus - Our Messiah And Savior

Our weekly messages are looking at the Covenants Jehovah God established with His Chosen People showing Jesus our Messiah and Savior as an integral part of each. Our previous message looked at the Edenic Covenant and this message will study the Adamic Covenant.

The Edenic Covenant focused on the results for all people when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. The Adamic Covenant continues this theme where Jehovah God informs Satan there will be consequences for your deceiving Adam and Eve. There is even an effect for Jesus and all people. 

Genesis 3:15 says, "He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." We referred to this verse briefly in another message but feel it is appropriate to look at it once again. In this verse Jehovah God is speaking to Satan. Notice that God FIRST talks about Jesus bruising the head of Satan. What does this mean? Romans 16:20 says, "And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly." Jesus daily defeats Satan through our prayers but the day is coming when Jesus totally and forever will destroy Satan. Revelation 20:10 says, "And the devil who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone."

Now, we will turn to Satan "Bruising The Heel Of Jesus." Possibly, you might think, why would God allow this? In reality, it is Jehovah God's Plan of Redemption! The bruising of Jesus' heel is referring to all the pain and torment Jesus experienced when He hung on the cross and died for our sins, granting us salvation and eternal life.          Bless His Holy Name!

Satan was only allowed to attack Jesus because Jesus allowed it to happen. Jesus knew this was the primary reason He left Heaven and came to live among us. Our Lord actually carried all our sins to the cross to redeem us from our sins. He became man for the purpose of defeating Satan, sin and death! Hallelujah!

Possibly, you have been hesitant to receive Jesus as Messiah and Savior because of a lack of understanding why the Son of God had to be physically abused on a cross. We trust these messages have illustrated Jesus as your Messiah and Savior. Please pray the following prayer to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior:

Jesus, I Know I Am A Sinner

Please Forgive Me Of All My Sins - Past, Present And Future

I Confess Jesus As Lord And That God Raised Him From The Dead

Please Come To Live In My Heart As My Savior 

Granting Me Eternal Life With You In Heaven

Thank You Jesus For Saving My Soul

BLESSINGS!

Jesus, Your Messiah And Savior

Bible teacher Graham Scroggie once said "Christ dominates the whole revelation of the Bible." This statement effectively describes the new emphasis of our messages each week - "Jesus Is Your Messiah And Savior" throughout the whole Bible.

We now are going to turn our attention to the Covenants Jehovah God established first with His Chosen People and then with all people of the world. What is a Covenant? It is a binding commitment agreed upon by God and two or more parties. A Conditional Covenant means God commits to keeping His promises but the parties involved must also keep their commitments. An Unconditional Covenant means God keeps His promises but other parties involved do not need to keep their promises.

The first Covenant established in the Bible is the Conditional Edenic Covenant. With the Edenic Covenant Adam and Eve are given permission to eat from every tree of the garden except from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the eating from which would lead to death. {Genesis 2:16-17} 

The story of Adam and Eve illustrates a Covenant broken because they disobeyed and ate the forbidden fruit. Their disobedience led to death - both physical and spiritual. As a result, all people will experience a physical death at some point in their life. Also, a person's relationship with Jehovah God was destroyed. Remember, before their disobedience Jehovah God walked with them in the Garden of Eden. How does Jesus, Your Messiah and Savior, fit into the Edenic Covenant? In reality, the Fall of Man laid the groundwork for God's Gracious Plan Of Redemption. 

How does a person receive the free gift from Jehovah God of becoming saved and receiving Eternal Life? Romans 10:9-13 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. For with the heart one believes to righteousness and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. For the Scripture says, 'Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.' For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For whoever calls upon the name of The Lord shall be saved."

  Thank You . . . Our Lord  Messiah And Savior!

Adam and Eve broke the Edenic Covenant through their disobedience. However, even before Creation,  Jehovah God had a future Plan Of Redemption! Stay Tuned!

Hallelujah . .  Hallelujah . . . Hallelujah . . . Hallelujah

Jesus, Your Messiah And Savior

"The Messiah and the mysteries wrapped around Him are found throughout the entire Bible, starting in Genesis and ending in Revelation." This quote is from Rabbi Jason Sobel who authored the book, Mysteries Of The Messiah. This quote illustrates a new theme for our weekly messages - Jesus is our Messiah and Savior throughout the entire Bible not just in the New Testament.

This message will show Jesus present with His Heavenly Father even before the start of Creation as well as showing Him taking an active part in Creation. In John17:24 Jesus is referring to God by saying "For You loved Me before the foundation of the world." As part of the Triune God {Father, Son, Holy Spirit}, Jesus was present with God even before the world was created. Hallelujah!

John 1:1-3 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God, All Things were made through Him." We need to realize the "Word" referred to in these verses is Jesus Himself. Verse 1 says the "Word" was with God and was God and He was with God in the beginning. There is no other way to interpret these verses other than Jesus is the Son of God, He is part of the Triune God and was with God at the start of Creation.

Verse 3 also is critically important because it says Jesus "Created All Things." Once again this verse proves Jesus is The Son of God participating with Father God in the Creation of the world. Jesus is our Messiah and Savior from Genesis to Revelation. Bless His Holy Name!

John3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Psalm 68:19 "Blessed be The Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our Salvation!"

The time of the Tribulation Period some believe is closer than ever before. There is no better time to know Jesus as your Messiah and Savior. Please pray this prayer with me insuring your salvation: 

Jesus, I Know That I Am A Sinner

Please Forgive Me Of All My Sins

I Proclaim Jesus Is Lord And God Raised Him From The Dead

Please Come Into My Life To Be My Savior And Lord

Thank You Jesus For Saving My Soul

I Rejoice With You, Your Name Is Now Written In The Lamb's Book Of Life,

Jesus, Your Messiah And Savior

For Zion's Sake Ministry is approaching their 10th anniversary of distributing, on a weekly basis, a message from our Lord. To date, we have published 462 messages read by approximately 46,000 people around the world. We are humbled and privileged by this opportunity of service to our Lord. Bless His Holy Name!

For Zion's Sake Ministry is sensing it is time to have one primary theme for future messages - Jesus, Your Messiah And Savior. We have heard from a number of prophetic ministries who believe that the Rapture Of The Church is closer now than any time in history. It is believed that the events in Afghanistan the last two weeks have moved God's Prophetic calendar forward. 

Now that we have your attention, let us share details. Israel will experience two major wars before Jesus returns to earth - The Battle Of Gog And Magog (Ezekiel 38, 39)  and The Battle Of Armageddon (Revelation 19:11-16). It is believed Gog And Magog will take place just before the start of the Tribulation Period. During this war a coalition of countries will invade Israel, Afghanistan is one of these countries. Now that Afghanistan is controlled by a combination of terrorist groups all with a goal of destroying Israel, Afghanistan is now free to participate in this war. The Battle Of Armageddon will take place at the end of The Tribulation Period. As a result, we believe now more than ever, people all around the world, Jews and Gentiles, need to hear about Jesus as their Messiah And Savior! 

Let's get started! Many people believe that Jesus as Messiah And Savior is only mentioned in the New Testament. In reality, the entire Bible illustrates Jesus as Messiah And Savior. Our new ministry emphasis will be to discover Jesus throughout the whole Bible. Hallelujah!

For example, Jesus is a key participant in the Creation Story. Genesis 3:14-15 says, "So The Lord God said to the serpent; 'Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle . . . He shall bruise your head.'" Jehovah God is talking to the serpent (Satan) after he deceived Adam and Eve and tells him "You are cursed" and "He will crush your head." He Is Jesus!! Everyday, when we turn our problems over to Jesus, He defeats Satan on our behalf and as we pray, we can use the name of Jesus to defeat Satan. What A Mighty God We Serve!

We trust your interest has been aroused and you will benefit in the new direction of For Zion's Sake Ministry.

Blessings From Your Messiah And Savior Jesus,

Frank

"From That Day Forward" - Part Four

Ezekiel 39:29 says, "And I will not hide My face from them anymore; for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel," says The Lord God. This will be the last message in this brief series determining the meaning of Ezekiel 39:22 that says, "So the house of Israel shall know that I Am The Lord their God from That Day Forward." To date we have learned God's Covenant People will know He is Lord "From That Day Forward" when He defeats their enemies and when He brings them back to Israel.

We feel our last message in this series is the most important. Verse 29 describes Jehovah God pouring out His Spirit on The House Of Israel. Also, as a result, He will not hide His face from them anymore. 

How is all this going to happen? Isaiah 54:7,8 says, "For a mere moment I have forsaken you, but with great mercies I will gather you. With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you," says The Lord, your Redeemer. Both of these verses bring forth a similar  message. They say God, for a time, hid His face from them because of their disobedience. However, we should also notice Jehovah God says in both verses He will have mercy on His people. Let Us Bless His Holy Name.

How will God show His mercy to His people? Please take note, verse 29 says God will pour our His Spirit on the House Of Israel! In reality, God has already shown His mercy on His people and is pouring out His Spirit through the establishment of the New Blood Covenant. Jeremiah 31:31,33 says, "Behold, the days are coming, says The Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the House Of Israel . . . I will put My law in their minds and write it on their hearts and I will be their God and they shall be My People."

This New Blood Covenant was established when Jesus Christ - True Son Of The True God - Shed His Blood And Died On A Cross And Was Resurrected Back To Life. 

Once a person receives Jesus as their Lord and Savior they receive the following:

Spending Eternity With God Upon Death

Receiving Forgiveness Of Sins

A Close Relationship With Jesus

Receiving A Personal Counselor - The Holy Spirit

Possibly, as you have read this message, you now believe it is time to receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Please pray this prayer with me:

Jesus, I know I am a sinner . . . Please forgive me of all my sins . . . I believe Jesus is Lord and God raised Him from the dead . . . Please come to live in my heart and grant me salvation . . . Thank you Jesus for saving my soul. 

The Angels In Heaven Are Now Rejoicing And Celebrating,
