Part Four. Where to from here?
Part One
⦁ I have put this final week’s lesson into two parts.
⦁ The first part will be a summary of the first three weeks of the lesson on the Olive Tree understanding Israel in relation to the land covenant God gave to the Patriarchs of our faith.
⦁ This part will also challenge us about what we will do to help God’s chosen people be they believers in Christ or non – believers from the land of Israel and those who believe in Him from the nations who will be fleeing from the antichrist during the Great Tribulation.
⦁ Part Two will go more into depth about our role in helping those God will be bringing to us during this time and why I believe there will be another exile of the Israeli people before the Lord Jesus comes back and how He is the standard that God will raise up to bring His people back to the land Isaiah 11.
Romans 11:15-18, 26-32
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father's sakes.
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
Overview of the previous posts
⦁ For the last number of posts we have been on a journey going back in history to the time of the Patriarchs.
We looked at the land covenant that God made with each one concerning the land of Canaan.
This land covenant God solemnly covenanted with an oath to give to Abraham and his descendants.
Each Patriarch in turn prophetically passed the land onto his son after him.

⦁ This inheritance of the land that was bequeathed by each Patriarch to the son after him.
This was affirmed by a personal appearance by God to both Isaac and Jacob.
This was affirmed by a personal appearance by God to both Isaac and Jacob.
God appeared in a person to Abraham, to Isaac and finally to Jacob,
God took this covenant He made with Abraham concerning the land seriously enough to appear to Abraham’s son and grandson after him.
In order to bring home the seriousness of this covenant that He had sworn to give to Abraham the land of Canaan with an oath that He swore by Himself.
That this land was to be given to him and his descendants the land which incorporates the ultimate descendant who is Jesus the Son of God Himself.

⦁ God also promised the Patriarchs that they will be numerous as the stars of the heavens, the sand of seashore, the dust of the earth.
That through then all the families of the earth will be blessed.
This was to be through Abraham and his ultimate descendant Jesus Himself. As He will bring salvation to all the families of the earth to as many as would believe in Him both Jew and Gentile. God will bless Abraham and his descendants will be blessed through Him.

⦁ Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are the earthly example of the Triune Godhead; they are a reflection of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
For God Himself is the source of the Patriarchs and the nation of Israel.
It was into this family line which became a tribe and nation that our Lord Jesus Christ who is the Messiah was born into. To them came the promise of a land and a future kingdom. God said that the tribe of Israel is His inheritance out of all the tribes of the earth.

Jeremiah 10:16
16 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The Lord of hosts is his name.
⦁ Why would He say this? He would state this about the Jewish / Israeli people being His inheritance because of His Son who is His the Father’s inheritance.
His Son Jesus is the descendant of the Patriarchs – like Isaac He is the Son of Promise of the Covenants God made firstly with Abraham then with Israel.
Also Judah is the tribe of God's inheritance because Jesus comes from this tribe. It is the ruling tribe.
Zechariah 2:12
12 And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
Jesus is also the first fruits of the one new man. Which is a new creation that reflects the image of God’s Son Jesus Himself.
A side note on the people that God would raise up in the first resurrection.
This one new man consist of both Jewish and Gentile believers but they have no distinction of race or gender or earthly position in these new bodies when raised from the dead.

⦁ We are part of God’s family and have been sealed/ adopted by the Holy Spirit into His family and God is our Father through His Son and we will be like His Son in our glorified bodies.
We will look like Him and have His nature / character. Colossians 3:1-4, Romans 8:18-20, 29.
Yet Jesus is still God and man, He is still God and distinct from His creation even from those who will be raised up in the First Resurrection. He is still different; He is God and will have qualities in Himself that only God can have. While at the same time He is a man and will be in the body of a man for eternity but it will be a glorified flesh and bone body. He will still bear the marks of His crucifixion the sacrifice He made for humankind as a living atonement for sin.

⦁ Israel as a land is still His heritage a king must have a land to rule from and a city to rule from as His seat of power and that city on earth will be Jerusalem.
The Jewish people being His heritage He will cause a remnant to survive The Great Tribulation and refine them through this fiery trial of this period at the close of the age.
This will cause them to turn to Him and call upon Him so that He will have His native brethren His blood kith and kin to be part of His heritage too. For Israel to be the nation under Him, Zechariah 13:8-9

⦁ God has always wanted Israel to be an example of what it is like to live as a people set apart and living under God’s rule and authority.
God also has wanted the church too to be like this but due to our human weakness and failings.
Both the Jews and the church couldn’t fulfill this desire of His heart to be a light to the world as an example of how to live by the Spirit and laws of God.

Both the Jews and the church couldn’t fulfill this desire of His heart to be a light to the world as an example of how to live by the Spirit and laws of God.
⦁ Jesus has to come back to earth to set up His kingdom and rule from Jerusalem over Israel and the nations.
Firstly as High Priest covering the spiritual side of life the temple and sacrifices, Feast Days, Sabbaths, New Moons.
Secondly as a King covering the civil government of the laws of the land how to live righteously and justly to show mercy and to look after those who are poor and less fortunate.

⦁ Only Jesus can carry successfully these two offices in Himself and so He will rule for a thousand years.
As this has been prophesied in the Old Testament scriptures, that God will rule over His people and the world in the Day of the Lord, which will be a day of peace as well for all those who live on the earth.
This will take place before He brings the age as we know it to a close by judging all of humankind at the Great White Throne judgment.
Then will come a completely new heaven and earth where the New Jerusalem will be on the earth and God and His Son will dwell in our midst without a temple in that glorious holy city.

1. The patriarchs and their key scriptures
Of God appearing to each one with affirmation of the covenant between them and God
Of God appearing to each one with affirmation of the covenant between them and God
⦁ Key scriptures showing the continuity of the promise of the land that God gave as a covenant to Abraham - continues down the line to each person of the Patriarchs in turn that God affirms the covenant promise to both Isaac and Jacob.
⦁ These verses have been given in full in the previous posts studies.
Abraham
⦁ Each Patriarch is like an earthly reflection of the Triune Godhead; Abraham is the Father of the faith and had a relationship with God the Father one father to another. For both offered up as a sacrifice their dearly beloved Sons of Promise who were only sons.
⦁ God challenged Abraham to offer up his only dearly beloved son as a sacrifice to test him whether he will be obedient and loyal to God or will he hold anything back from the Most High even his son.
Abraham valued and loved God enough to trust Him to believe that should he need to sacrifice his son and kill him God will raise him up again and give him back to him.
Abraham valued and loved God enough to trust Him to believe that should he need to sacrifice his son and kill him God will raise him up again and give him back to him.
⦁ One son of promise Isaac was offered on the altar at Mt Moriah yet God provided a ram so that Abraham didn’t have to slay his only begotten son to Sarah.
The other Son came from heaven to earth in obedience to do the will of His Father to die on the cross for mankind’s sins; He was the Lamb of God John 1:29, 36, Hebrews 10:5-7, Psalm 40:6-8.
The other Son came from heaven to earth in obedience to do the will of His Father to die on the cross for mankind’s sins; He was the Lamb of God John 1:29, 36, Hebrews 10:5-7, Psalm 40:6-8.
⦁ Key scriptures for Abraham are as follows:
Genesis 12:1-7, Genesis 13:14-17, Genesis 15:4-21 Genesis 17, Genesis 18:17-19, Genesis 22:1-2, 6-18,
Isaac
⦁ Isaac is the hidden Son of Promise, his life is fairly uneventful and hidden, yet he was richly blessed by God the promise of the land was affirmed to him and his offspring.
He is the second person in the triune headship of the Patriarchs a type of Christ the Son of Promise.
Isaac had a miraculous birth as did Jesus, Jesus early years are hidden from view, and his later life and ministry is told in the gospels.
Isaac is only mentioned in a few places to do with his birth, weaning being offered as a sacrifice, his marriage, birth of his sons and the blessing of Jacob.

⦁ The key scriptures for Isaac for the continuation of the covenant that God gave to Abraham through his son Isaac are as follows Genesis 26:2-5, 23-25.
Jacob
⦁ Jacob is like the Holy Spirit he contended with God wrestled with Him and prevailed hence his name being changed from Jacob to Israel.
The Holy Spirit helps us to pray with groaning too deep for words when we don’t know how to pray Romans 8:26-27.
From this wrestling with God came forth a nation called Israel after Jacob and God is often surnamed the God of Israel in the Bible.
The key scriptures to do with Jacob are as follows: .Genesis 28:10-22, Genesis 29-35.

⦁ God renamed Jacob Israel which means one who contends with God and man and prevails and it sounds like Israel the nation and people.
For they are contentious with God and with man in a somewhat negative way as they are to a large part outside of Christ.
Yet when they become born again they are contentious with God and man in a positive way through prayer and intercession.
They will have power with God through prayer though His Son who ever lives to intercede on our and Israel’s behalf with His Father and with man presenting the gospel to them for salvation. Romans 8:26-27, 34, Hebrews 7:25.

Genesis 35:9-12
9 And God [in a distinctly visible manifestation] appeared to Jacob again when he came out of Padan-aram, and declared a blessing on him.
10 Again God said to him, Your name is Jacob [supplanter]; you shall not be called Jacob any longer, but Israel shall be your name. So He called him Israel [contender with God].
11 And God said to him, I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you and kings shall be born of your stock;
12 The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and to your descendants after you I will give the land.
13 Then God ascended from him in the place where He talked with him.
⦁ This contending with God and man is what we do when we pray in intercession on behalf of others.
Whether it be individuals or nations and in particular for and on behalf of Israel.
Concerning Israel we wrestle with three people.
We wrestle with God in praying for their salvation that God will open their eyes to the truth of the gospel.
We wrestle with powers of darkness that want to destroy her.
We wrestle with man who is blinded to the truths concerning Israel that are written in the Bible.

⦁ Jacob wrestled with the Angel of the Lord and the Lord renamed Jacob Israel and this is the chief name that God is known by in the Bible the God of Israel or Jacob. Genesis 32:24-28, Genesis 35:9-12
⦁ From this wrestling came the nation of Israel, God sent the family of Jacob down to Egypt and out of the furnace of affliction brought on by captivity and enforced slavery. God brought forth a nation from that house of slavery and bondage with an outstretched hand and mighty power
⦁ He welded that nation into a fighting unit in the wilderness after entering into a covenantal relationship with them as a nation.
He taught them His laws and statutes on how to live by His commands when they arrived in the Promised Land. He established a priesthood with sacrifices and a house for His presence to dwell in the Holy of Holies, in a tent so that he could travel everywhere with the Israelites. These things were looking towards the first visitation of the Lord Jesus to Israel as both Lamb of God and Priest.

⦁ His first coming from heaven to earth was to bring spiritual peace as a peace offering as a peace covenant through His blood between men and God. Through the forgiveness of sins through His death on the cross as an atonement for sin both for the House of Israel and the nations.
⦁ He came to declare the favorable year of salvation of God both to the nation of Israel and the Gentiles. This was after His death and resurrection the gospel of salvation went from Jerusalem to all of Israel then the nations.
⦁ His second coming / visitation to Israel will be in warfare as a conquering King the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. To bring about the Day of Vengeance of our God to bring about His kingdom and to establish true peace on the earth. This will be a physical peace, He will be ruling from the throne of David in Jerusalem over Israel and the sheep nations.
(2) What we teach on Israel and the second coming of Christ
This must be in alignment with the pure word of God, in other words what kind of fruit are we producing?
This must be in alignment with the pure word of God, in other words what kind of fruit are we producing?
⦁ We are grafted into the native Olive Tree of Israel, what we teach on Israel, the church, the second coming of Christ must be in alignment with the word of God
⦁ An Olive Tree produces olives that are used to make oil for lamps or in the case of Israel was used in the Menorah the seven branched Candle stick that was used to light the Holy Place in the Sanctuary of the Tabernacle then the Temple.
⦁ There are two Olive Trees one is native – Israel and one is wild the nations or Gentiles.
⦁ One produces cultivated olives that when they are crushed produce pure oil which gives forth clear light.
⦁ The other tree the wild tree produces poor quality olives which when crushed give poor quality light which is smoky and unclear.
⦁ The wild olive tree the gentiles are grafted into the native olive tree, therefore they need to stop being wild and learn to assimilate into the native olive tree. So that they can produce good olives that would give off clear light with no smoke.
⦁ This can only occur if we feed off the pure word of God and align our thoughts with His.
So that we can take on the mind of Christ and learn to see things from God’s perspective pertaining to Israel, the church, the second coming of Christ or any other teaching in the scriptures. We must be in alignment with the word of God.
So that we can take on the mind of Christ and learn to see things from God’s perspective pertaining to Israel, the church, the second coming of Christ or any other teaching in the scriptures. We must be in alignment with the word of God.
⦁ We must put off the mixtures of the world which produces cloudy light that is the philosophies of men, traditions of men, myths and legends including so called church traditions and legends. As well as Jewish myths and legends based on oral tradition or Cabala Jewish mysticism.
⦁ We must remember a tree bears fruit of some kind if it is a fruit tree. So what kind of olives do we want to produce? As we are part of the Olive Tree of Israel for those of us who are from the gentile nations are wild olive trees grafted into the native olive tree.
⦁ We must not bring a mix of wild olive and native olives as this would bring forth stunted olives that are poor in quality and will give off poor smoky light or give poor flavor. We must feed off the pure word of God as this the book of Truth.
For the Spirit of God who is the Spirit of Truth indwells in the words in this book the Bible. As Jesus Himself is truth and this book is His word and He is the word that was made flesh.
For the Spirit of God who is the Spirit of Truth indwells in the words in this book the Bible. As Jesus Himself is truth and this book is His word and He is the word that was made flesh.
⦁ That is why we must not mix His word with the world’s ideas, or philosophies or morals carnal man does not understand the things of God and the two don’t go together. God is a Spirit and He is truth and we can only worship Him and know Him if we are of the same Spirit as He is that is we are born anew by His Spirit in order to understand Him and His ways.
⦁ We must learn to adjust our way of thinking to His way of thinking and walk in His paths.
This relates to what He says about Israel and His kingdom the promises He made by the prophets in the Old Testament to the people of Israel and they stand today.
This relates to what He says about Israel and His kingdom the promises He made by the prophets in the Old Testament to the people of Israel and they stand today.
⦁ His word doesn’t change and it stands forever, Jesus said in Matthew in the Sermon on the Mount and in Matthew 24 about His second coming that heaven and earth will pass away but My words will not pass away. They abide forever in other words they are eternal.
⦁ So what God says about Israel is eternal and stands forever in how He regards the land, the people and His Son inheriting the land and kingdom.
You have read several times in the passages dealing with the covenants over the last number of posts on this blog that they are forever, and with God forever means forever it is eternal. God’s word is eternal and cannot be broken.

Matthew 5:17-19
17 Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to do away with or undo but to complete and fulfill them.
18 For truly I tell you, until the sky and earth pass away and perish, not one smallest letter nor one little hook [identifying certain Hebrew letters] will pass from the Law until all things [it foreshadows] are accomplished.
19 Whoever then breaks or does away with or relaxes one of the least [important] of these commandments and teaches men so shall be called least [important] in the kingdom of heaven, but he who practices them and teaches others to do so shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 24:35
35 Sky and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
⦁ So what we teach concerning Israel, and the second coming of our Lord must be from the pure word of God. It must be from the full council of God and no mixture but allow the Holy Spirit to teach us about these important things from the word itself.
⦁ Scripture interpreting scripture, too many people are trying to twist scripture to suit their own warped ideas or to take away from the scripture by denying that the Old Testament is the authentic word of God.
By doing this they are treading on thin ice and are in danger of being cast into hell or if one adds to the book the plagues in the book of Revelation will be added to them. Revelation 22:7, 18-19.
By doing this they are treading on thin ice and are in danger of being cast into hell or if one adds to the book the plagues in the book of Revelation will be added to them. Revelation 22:7, 18-19.
⦁ We cannot play around with the word of God it is His word and it is tried and refined seven times over. It is pure and God is pure and Holy.
For who are we to meddle with what the Living God of Israel says in His book about His people Israel or His Son’s second coming to take up His kingdom?
For who are we to meddle with what the Living God of Israel says in His book about His people Israel or His Son’s second coming to take up His kingdom?
Psalm 12:5-7 especially verse 6
5 Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants.
6 The words and promises of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over.
7 You will keep them and preserve them, O Lord; you will guard and keep us from this [evil] generation forever.
(3) History repeating itself as what took place in the second world war during the Holocaust will take place during the Great Tribulation.
⦁ I would like make mention here about what happened during the second world war when the Jewish people -some may have been born again brethren of our Lord Jesus Christ - were being sent to Auschwitz one of the worst concentration camps in Europe.
The train these poor scared people were on went past a church and the people didn’t help these people crying out for help as they went past onto the gas chambers and ovens. Instead of trying to help the people they just sang their hymns all the louder to drown out the sound of these people pleading and crying for help.
You can watch the youtube video clip on this here.
though it is an re enactment of what happened it is very moving.
and from here:

HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE
⦁ Hitler had an organized religion and the people in his state run churches were brainwashed into not seeing Jewish people as being human. So that is why they ignored the pleas of the people going past their church in the box cars.
⦁ I dare say in the future state run church the official one world govt church of the Antichrist the people will turn deaf ears to those going past in the box cars to the FEMA concentration camps like they did in Germany during the second world war.
4) Challenge – what will you do to help God’s physical Chosen People the Jews during the time of the Great Tribulation?
⦁ My challenge to those of you who are reading this blog and have watched the youtube clip Sing A little louder and read the article on this historical event.
My challenge to you is this will you be like these people who turned a deaf ear and sang louder so they didn’t hear these heart wrenching pleas for help?
Will you ignore the times we are now living in and say that is their problem and not ours?

⦁ For we are born into such a time as this and the days are getting closer and closer to the Great Tribulation where we will all be called upon to stand for the Lord one way or another.
⦁ To even to give our lives for Him and His Jewish people those who are His native born brethren and the church children of faith both Jew and gentile.
We may need to prepare ourselves now to get hiding places ready for these people and other people just when things go bad we can send them somewhere safe.
We may need to prepare ourselves now to get hiding places ready for these people and other people just when things go bad we can send them somewhere safe.
⦁ For the people of Israel may need to flee to the mountains of Israel or to flee out from the land of Israel to other lands even the lands at the ends of the earth Australia and New Zealand.
They will be fleeing to escape the wrath of the antichrist who will be seated to be worshiped as God in the Third temple in Jerusalem.
They will be fleeing to escape the wrath of the antichrist who will be seated to be worshiped as God in the Third temple in Jerusalem.
⦁ God will keep a remnant alive for when His Son returns but most will be martyred for their faith in Jesus and for His coming kingdom by literally going the way of the cross. By being willing to be martyred for their Lord.
We must not bury our head in the sand and hope the problem will go away it will not.
We must not bury our head in the sand and hope the problem will go away it will not.
⦁ God is warning us that the hour is late and we must get ready for this late hour.
⦁ What will you do? Will you help the Lord’s people while you can and have it in the power of your hand to do so?
Or will you turn away from helping them and shrug it off as being too hard to deal with and not your concern?
Or will you turn away from helping them and shrug it off as being too hard to deal with and not your concern?
⦁ Examine your hearts and make it a private prayer time between you and the Lord ask Him to show you what He wants you to do personally.
Both as an individual or people from churches that you may attend in the countries you are living in.
This passage in Esther is referring to the Jews being helped not to any other nation being helped, preserved and protected by God. God is wanting to preserve a people He wants to preserve the remnant of Jacob alive to call forth His Son from heaven.
Often people have tried to use this passage for their own agenda that has nothing whatsoever to do with the people of Israel. They have tried to use this passage for social gospel purposes or to speak out against abortion.
Though some of these causes are good in their own rights. I am sure there are other scriptures that are just as valid that can be used for their cause.
Not this scripture though. To take this scripture out of its proper place is doing a disservice to God and His people.
To take this scripture out of its proper context will be an incorrect interpretation of what this verse is all about and only by looking at this verse in its proper context will cut with God.
That God wants us as the era of man draws to a close to be willing to step up to the plate to offer ourselves to Him to serve Him by being available to preserve His people alive through hiding them. This may cost our lives but we must be prepared to give our lives for the Lord's blood kith and kin.

This passage in Esther is referring to the Jews being helped not to any other nation being helped, preserved and protected by God. God is wanting to preserve a people He wants to preserve the remnant of Jacob alive to call forth His Son from heaven.
Often people have tried to use this passage for their own agenda that has nothing whatsoever to do with the people of Israel. They have tried to use this passage for social gospel purposes or to speak out against abortion.
Though some of these causes are good in their own rights. I am sure there are other scriptures that are just as valid that can be used for their cause.
Not this scripture though. To take this scripture out of its proper place is doing a disservice to God and His people.
To take this scripture out of its proper context will be an incorrect interpretation of what this verse is all about and only by looking at this verse in its proper context will cut with God.

Esther 4:13-14
13 Then Mordecai told them to return this answer to Esther, Do not flatter yourself that you shall escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews.
14 For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise for the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?
Ecclesiastes 9:10a
10a Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol (the place of the dead), where you are going.
⦁ How a nation treats the Lord’s people will determine where they will spend eternity in the kingdom of heaven as sheep nations who helped the Lord’s people in various ways in Matthew 25:31-46.
Matthew 25:31-46
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
⦁ Or will they go into the outer darkness as those nations who are goat nations will end up there for not helping the Lord’s people be they Christian or Israeli people when He needed them to help them.
For as they did or didn’t do it to the least of these people in visiting them in prison or when they were sick or fed them when they were hungry or clothed them when naked or took them in as strangers they were doing or not doing these things to the Lord Jesus Himself.

⦁ Those who bless His Christian and Israeli people and Israel as a nation are His friends and will be blessed and protected, taken care of and looked after by the Lord Himself.
Or those who refuse to do these things will encounter God as an enemy and He is a very dangerous foe because He is God and He is an all-consuming fire. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God

Numbers 24:9
9 He couched, he lay down as a lion; and as a lioness, who shall rouse him? Blessed [of God] is he who blesses you [who prays for and contributes to your welfare] and cursed [of God] is he who curses you [who in word, thought, or deed would bring harm upon you].
⦁ So my question to you who are reading this blog around the world. Is what will you do with the people of Israel?
Will you help them or turn away from them and side with their enemies to destroy them?
There are two kingdoms one is of darkness that wants to destroy the Lord’s people and one is of Light and His kingdom is coming very shortly upon the earth.

⦁ Jesus is coming and His reward and recompense is in His hands. Revelation 22:12, Isaiah 40:10, Isaiah 62:11. Choose this day what you will do life or death.
Who will you follow the Lord Jesus Christ or the Antichrist and his kingdom of darkness.
This diabolical kingdom that wants to totally destroy Israel and her people and those saints who are of the true body of Christ.

⦁ Remember the land of Israel with the people of Israel has to be in existence for the King to come back to His land and kingdom and people.
⦁ In Ezekiel 11 God says that He will be a little Sanctuary for the people of Israel in the lands where He has sent them into exile.
During the time before the Holocaust and during the time of the Second World War God was a little Sanctuary to His people in different ways.
Many were saved from the gas chambers through miraculous means.
Will you allow God to use you to help Him by preparing your houses, lands etc to be a little sanctuary for His people during the time of the Great Tribulation?
These verses can also apply to the time of the end of the age of man before Jesus comes back.

Ezekiel 11:15-21
15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given in possession.
16 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
17 Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord God; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
21 But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord God.
In my next blog post
⦁ I will be going more in depth of what I believe God will want those whose hearts He has spoken to those who have a heart to do so, to help His people this will be in Part Two of where to from here?
⦁ I will include in Part two a list of some things we need to think of how we can prepare ourselves for the time of the Great Tribulation to help the Christian and Israeli people that God will bring to us for aid.
⦁ I will also include an article in this part about how the Jews see that they have now spiritually fulfilled the Lord bringing His people back from exile into the land of Israel.
⦁ Yet I will be explaining about how I believe that God will be taking His people into exile to preserve life.
This will be during the time of the beast sitting in the temple reigning as God.
So people will be fleeing from this beast to get away from him and God will be bringing them down to the lands of the ANZAC peoples of Australia and New Zealand and other nations, to preserve a remnant unto Himself.
More on this in my next blog.
