The Messiah has come, born to a young woman, who is a virgin and has had no sexual relations with her husband. But this baby is more. He is the Saviour of the Jews, of Israel and the world. All who will place their trust in Him.
Jeremiah 23:5-6.
Luke 1:32-33, Hebrews 8:8.
People do not like to hear that Israel is a chosen nation by God, they want to say that what is written in the bible is not true or it was written from their point of view. Numbers 32:9-12.
The land was given to them and they lost it due to disobedience, but God always promised He would restore them one day. That day has come and all the events of history and human time will be played out in this region. Matthew 24 and 2 Thessalonians 2.
For believers we need not worry about these events.
But if we are not saved, then we do need to seek Jesus today.
..Is happening?
This is a very relevant message today, as we see once again the situation worsen in the middle-east between Hamas Palestinians in the Gaza strip and Israel. Many people today believe that Palestine has a right to exist and the Jews should leave the holy lands and go somewhere else?
But the bible tells us that it was God who gave Israel the land of the Phillistines and all world events, including the end will be centered in this region. Believers in Jesus, Yeshua and Isa are told not to worry, as the world does about what is happening here. Luke 12:39.
What we really need to worry about is where will we be on Judgement Day? Today is the day of repentance, now is the time to change your mind. 2 Corinthians 6:2, Isaiah 49:8, Amos 5:4.
What will you choose?
Remembrance Sunday.
On the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th November 1918 the first World War of the 20th Century ended. Million of British and allied soldiers had died, in what seemed a pointless war. Twenty years later over 100 million people would die in another World War (1939-45). The first world war saw the introduction of the tank and the use of mustered gas. the second would see mass areal bombing, missiles and atomic weapons.
Thousands of veterans will walk through central London on Sunday morning and our Queen Elizabeth-II will lay wreaths to the fallen. Among the dead are the 12 million civilian’s Jews and Chinese who died in work and death camps, some being medically experimented on.
Jesus told His followers not to be worried about wars, because they were inevitable. Mark 13:7
The condition of our hearts are selfish and sinful. Romans 3:23, 6:23.
At the end we need to know on Judgement Day were we will be standing with God. John 3:16-21, Acts 4:12.
Men go to war with each other for all sorts of reasons, some are minor while others are more serious.
The first battle or war is mentioned in Genesis 3:15 between Satan and God. So it is not just mans failings weaknesses and sin that leads us to attack each other. Exodus 14:13-14. War has been an instrument used by God to judge the nations.
Many people today seek to find peace, to reconcile and these are fine moral objectives, but the bible tells us that Satan is very good at peace too. That is how at the end of the age he will deceive the nations. Revelation 20:3, 8.
Ask me and I will tell you!
