The Apocalypse. One.

The end is not Immediate?

What a statement to be made by Jesus in relation to the End of the Ages?

Jesus was hinting to a series of circumstances leading up to the Great day of His return and what processes where to follow!

The title of this series is the Apocalypse a Greek word meaning Revelation and the events of the End is written for us by the Disciple John as the last book of the Bible, New Testament.

Jesus is speaking to His own, us that we must not be scared or worried about these and the many other events. We will be handed up to the world to be put on trial for our faith, under accusations Just as He was.

But we will have the Power of the Holy Spirit within us to speak the right words at that time!

Luke 21:9, Matthew 24:6-8,  Luke 13:7-9.

Ascension and Return.

From forty days to 1000 Years.

Jesus spent forty days here on earth after He arose from the dead, He appeared to His Disciples and to reassure the many secret believers. He also reinstated Peter and appeared at one time to over five-hundred people. Then He had to return to Heaven to allow the Holy Spirit to be given to all believers.

These avents are all miracles in their own right, they are beyond the comprehension of the human mind and that is why believers have the Holy Spirit to help.

Jesus promised he would return and He will at the Fathers will, when He does he will rule on the earth for 1000 years and protect and defend the Kingdom of Israel.

Acts 1:6, 1 Corinthians 15:6, Revelation 15:3, 19:15, 20:4-7.

Conception. Part-One.

Birth of Jesus.

The most profound historical even in human history, when God came to dwell with us in a human form. The conception of Jesus is the greatest miracle ever known. The bible tells us that the Son of God was implanted by the Holy Spirit.Ghost into the virgin Mary.

She was not penetrated, her waters had not broken and she remained a virgin after Jesus birth going on to have a family with her husband Joseph the Carpenter.

Luke 1:46-56.

Sexuality. Part-Two.

Jesus.

Many proponents of same sex marriage, who claim to be ‘Christians say ‘that Jesus in his ministry never spoke about homosexuality, but rather that we should practice love and not Judge others or each other.’

But they are wrong, because Jesus does speak about the Sin and the ultimate fate of those who practice it. If we claim to have a faith in Jesus and a relationship with God, we must adhere to His teaching in the bible. The bible says many things, such as not stealing or sleeping with another man wife. some of the language used is very graphic.

But god wants the best for us, if we are left to our devices, choices and selfishness. Then we end up in disaster. The bible is full of such accounts. With the Lord he pointed out a situation,. Later the Disciples and Apostles lead and inspired by the Holy Spirit within them wrote further instructions to the believers.

Matthew 10:15,  11:24,  2 Peter 2:6-8, (Genesis 19:5, 24-25),  Jude 7.

‘Out Pouring.

The Holy Spirit of God.

After Jesus had ascended back into heaven, as he had promised the Holy Spirit/Ghost was poured out in Jerusalem on the Temple mount and those early followers of the Way, were empowered to serve God.  Acts 2,  Joel 2:28-32.

It is only those of us who have confessed that Jesus died and rose again from the dead who receive the Holy Spirit to help us daily walk in faith with Jesus. We have to believe, because without God our Father and Jesus our Lord we have no hope to face the crises of daily life.  2 Corinthians 6:6, 1 John 1:20.

Ascension and Return.

Leaving.

Jesus had to leave the earth after forty days so that the promised Holy Spirit could be poured out on the believers. But this was not the end, for as you see Him go, he will return again.  Mark 16:19-20.

We tend to forget about the return of the Lord, some refer to it as the End Times, others the Day of Judgement. But their is one thing we can be sure about Jesus will return.  Luke 24:49-53,  Act 1:9-11.

What in the world? Part-One.

..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?

The Crusades. Part-Five.

Eventually the Crusader armies made it to the Holy lands and their they proceeded to do to the local Muslim and Jewish inhabitants, especially in Jerusalem, massacre them. What was done here still reverberates across Islam to this day. All conflicts in the middle east, Afghanistan, Somalia are seen as a continuation of the wars of Saladin and the Christians.

So how do Christians deal with this factor, some today have chosen to be anti-Israeli and have taken on the Palestinians rights to claim the land. But this in it self will not heal the rift.

As we have seen in other blogs in relation to Palestine God is an estate-agent and throughout the Bible has promised the Jews a return to the land, a restoration and the promises that they will never be removed.

The Crusades. Part-Three.

In 1098 the first Crusade set out from France, through Germany to the Holy Lands. But not far into Germany, the Crusader knights attacked the settled Jewish population. In ignorance they classed the Jews as none Christians and similar to the Turks.

This is described by Jewish historians as the first Holocaust. In fact the whole crossing of Europe lead to massacre after massacre. Christian historians have claimed ‘it was the ignorant peasants who carried out this wanton murder.’

But the discovery of recent documentation reveals it was the knights themselves who carried out the attacks.  Luke 14:27.

The Crusades. Part-One.

Today the modern middle-east and the Muslim, Islamic world and religion still reel from the events of the (Christian) Crusades. These historical events and battles against Islam, but also the minority of Jews living at the time in the Holy lands. These events still have consequences in the Muslim mind and remain an viable influence.

Wars today, Jihad have all a remaining influence in the political, tribal affliliation and their determination to rid western Christian influence over them, this includes the current wave of so called democracy.

During the 11th century European clergy propagated a great Crusade to defend Christian pilgrims in the Holy lands, from attacks by bandits, tribes men and Muslims. This move made by the Roman Catholic Church of the day, was done in an early attempt to unify Europe.  Romans 3:23,
