The Two Messiahs (Part1)

Grace and peace to you in the name of Jesus!

“The Two Messiahs” (part 1)

First please allow me to apologize to you for not putting the title on the body of my text I hope that I didn’t cause any problems in keeping the articles in sequence.  This posting on Christmas has its reasons and as time and this series of articles continue you will come to understand just what I mean.

There are two different schools of thought on the Jewish Messiah or Mashiach.  To the Orthodoxy of Judaism He is yet to appear upon the scene.  To the Messianic Jews and the Christians He has already come and is set to make another appearance soon.  I have a contemporary named Dr. David Reagan near Dallas, Texas and the name of his ministry is most interesting, “Lamb and Lion”.  Dr. Dave is a brilliant scholar and when he says something he has many meanings in what he says.  Let’s breakdown the meaning behind his ministry name and it’s possible deeper meaning. 

If you take the two schools of thought on the Messiah it appears that there are two different Messiahs.  Let me state for the record that there truly are two vastly different Messiahs.  On one hand we have the Lamb and at the other end of the scale we have the Lion of Judah.  A lamb is a meek and mild animal raised for food and clothing while a lion is vastly different it is called the “king of beasts” it is known to be bold and fearless.  At this point it would seem that we are at opposite ends of the spectrum.  This is why I can say to most if you look deeper there are “Two Messiahs”!  Let’s look at them now.

In the western part of the United States the American Indians hunted the buffalo of the plains to use as food clothing and sometimes shelter.  In the Middle East the Semitic people the Jews did it a different way they raised sheep and goats.  Pretty much for the same purposes.  The Jews came into being as the result of Abram a man that became the father of all Jews when G-d changed his name from Abram to Abraham.  As time went on G-d blessed Abraham and his family grew into the modern Jews we know of today.  They have a very rich history in their walk with G-d.  During that walk they fell into slavery under the Egyptians, until a man called Moses/Moshe led them out of Egypt and all the way to Israel the “promised land”.  Back in those days on up until 70 AD the G-d of the Jews was worshiped in a Tent or a Temple and sacrifice was made for the sins of the Jews at these holy places.  One of acceptable sacrifices was a lamb.  This was called a “blood sacrifice” because the lamb was killed to atone for the sin.  G-d at that time demanded a blood sacrifice.  This is where we run into problems. 

With each passing generation we grow farther and farther away from G-d and deeper into sin.  I have wondered how much deeper in sin can we sink.  What causes sin?  This will sound strange but to you but this is the truth.  Did you know that we are a product of our environment and heredity?  From the time we are born we a re bombarded by sin.  Our families and friends teach sin to us.  Our family and friends learned it from their family and friends and this has gone on from generation to generation since Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.  Today we are bombarded by technology from all sides.  The technology that I am speaking about is really amazing when you think about it.  Right now I am sitting at my desk in front of my computer, (an i-Mac by Apple), I am listening to my Apple i-pod.  Ok, it sounds like I am bragging about my “stuff”.  I am about to make a point that will shock you as it did with me when I realized it.  Dr. Dave Reagan has a DVD named “The Exponential Curve” two words ~GET IT~.  Dave talks about how things have changed at a much faster than normal rate.  When this occurs it is called “exponental” in his DVD, Dr. Dave is talking about computers and the like.  Getting back to my “junk”, let’s run with my music for a bit.  In 1963 I was a teen listening to my 8-track tape in my “1956 Rambler” the tape cartridge that went into my tape player was about the size of a modern VHS tape. (more!) The player that it went into was the size of three mini-Macs put together.  In 1963 it was the latest thing in music by 1969 everything was on cassette tapes that were about one sixth of the size of the 8-track and you had a hard time finding them anymore.  BTW- the 8-Track cartridge would only hold about 12-14 songs. 

(Did I mention that my “1956 Rambler” had an interior as big as my “2005 Impala” has today.)

i-pod, ok!  October 23, 2001 the first one came out and I got one.  It can hold 80 gigabytes of music, games, movies and videos!  It is one quarter of an inch thick two and a half inches wide and four inches long.  It holds up to 20,000 songs, up to 100 hours of video or movies and up to 25,000 photos.  If I had just the songs on 8-track cassettes it would fill my Rambler and my Impala’s interior and I would need a trailer to carry the rest!  All of that in just 38 years!  We have gone from computers that fill a room and were very limited to well,… my i-Mac it has a terabyte of memory!  That is more memory than I can even explain to you it is the size of a 24 inch HD TV and is only about two inches thick!  That one has been done in less than 50 years.  What does all of this have to do with sin?

Have you ever gotten distracted by something when you needed to do something important?  Did you forget what was really important and not do it?  Was the result of getting distracted devastating to you or your family or friends?  Now do you know what ha satan’s plan has been all along?  That is a bunch of questions. Want some answers?

The biggest answer of all is this.  A simple lesson in Hebrew contained in this paragraph.  Ha in Hebrew means the.  Satan is not a Hebrew name it is a title.  Satan in Hebrew means “adversary”!  If you play chess all your “adversary” needs to do is to distract you and you will get lost and lose the game!  If you lose the “game to satan, (Lucifer), you lose your soul to hell.

Ok, ok, enough already!  What does all of this stuff have to do with lambs and blood sacrifices for the atonement of sins?  Just this!  When a lamb was brought before the “High Priest of the Temple” who was to sacrifice it upon the altar what was the first thing that the priest did?  He took the “lamb” which was to be sacrificed and he examined it in minute detail for any sign of imperfection even a small blemish on it’s skin would have disqualified the lamb for the sacrifice before the altar of G-d.  A G-d that was perfect in every way and would never tolerate sin.  Every hand checked that lamb as it passed through to make certain beyond and doubt that it was a pure and perfect sacrifice for such a G-d!

As I have said that sacrifice was examined ~BUT~ the humble yet sinful person that brought the sacrifice to the priest was never even glanced at.  All of the resources of the Temple of G-d were concentrated on the perfect sacrifice of the lamb.  When we accept that sacrifice we have all of our sin forgiven.  How could just a simple little lamb have so much potency on our behalf?

Let’s look at this carefully and a bit logically.  G-d our perfect G-d cannot stand sin because He is well, perfect.  So what can be acceptable as a “blood sacrifice” for our sins?  In truth is there anything that can fulfill such a heavy debt?  Remember all of the distractions?  All of that technology of computers, i-pods, TV, cars, cell phones, etc. what about it? We want it!  We want it all we want it now!  Gimmie, game, Gimmie it!  In the “Garden” it was to be like G-d out of the “Garden” it is stuff, just stuff that gives pleasure or occupies our time and thoughts.  With each successive generation the sin grew and grew and the distractions grew and grew.  Now, today I truly believe that we are in the “Last Days” and those are almost done with.  A bit over two thousand years ago G-d Himself saw just what man had become and He knew just what we would become in the future this future, right now today.  Exponentially sin has grown and grown until once again we are like those in the days of Noah before the earth was flooded.  Two thousand years ago G-d moved to protect His creation, us.  He did it in the only way that a loving Father could for the children that he loved so very deeply.  Children that He knew as G-d would never see eternity unless He the only true great G-d would step off of that mighty throne and lower Himself to the level of a man.  It was then that our glorious Father came swiftly from the “Third Heaven” to save us His beloved children in the only way that it could be done.  What is there anywhere that can atone for our sin to a G-d so holy and great?  The blood cries out!  It must be a blood sacrifice and yet whose blood would be worthy to stem the tide of the sin that keeps growing and multiplying across the face of the earth.  There can be only one blood worthy and pure enough it is the blood of the Father who is G-d.  How can this be possible there are the human laws and all of the rules and laws of heaven how could such a thing be possible.  “For He is the Lord our G-d and behold He made us and all we can see and even did He make the unseen by man and angel.  G-d was and He is and yet He shall be!  Behold as Paul said before me I say to you now a great mystery is revealed before you!  For G-d our Father sent His spirit abroad upon the earth and there she was Miriam of Nazareth of the line of “David the King”  G-d sent Gabriel to her with the news that she had been chosen to be the mother of the Messiah!  The redeemer was to come for the sacrifice.  All of the laws and rules of heaven have been applied and yet even more was needed and then it was.  You see beloved it is a known fact that when a woman becomes pregnant that the blood which flows through the child to be born is not that of the mother.  Here it is that the great mystery is revealed in all of its Glory and all to our Father who is G-d!  Who is worthy to be the blood sacrifice to save man from his just punishment for sin?  There can be only one for behold oh, beloved the blood on the mercy seat is the very blood of our Father who is in the third heaven, for He alone is G-d!  He came as the lamb and we call Him in the flesh Jesus of Nazareth and when He returns He shall be the Lion!  Every knee will bend and every head will bow before Our Father!  He who was and is and shall be Messiah!

Hillel Yeshua ha Mashiach!

The End Times March (part 3)

Grace and peace to you in the name of Jesus!

Welcome to part three of our march through the End Times.  In the last segment we learned quite a bit about the major player in the Last Days that are known as the “Tribulation Period”.  We also learned that the “Age of the Gentile” also called the “Church Age” is winding down.  This began in 1967 when Jerusalem was retaken by Israel during the “Six Days War”.  We also through current world happenings that the war between the Russo/Muslim Confederation and Israel will begin very soon and then the “Seven Year Peace Treaty will be signed ushering in the “Translation or “Rapture” We also learned that the former Prime Minister of England, Tony Blair looks like the most likely candidate to become the Anti-christ!  He is the current Middle East Peace Negotiator for the European Union.  The EU has been known to be the revised Roman Empire spoken of in the Books of Daniel and Revelation from which the Anti-christ will rule.  What most didn’t know was about Tony Blair and the all-important timetable that sets these things in motion.  They will happen in 2009!  Am I making a prophecy here?  Well, not really.  I am making a statement of fact!  If you want to call that prophesy you have forgotten one thing.  I have not said that the Lord has said that to me.  This is all common sense, economics, international politics and simply the knowledge of how things work in the secular world. 

In our first installment I told you about the film the “Exodus Decoded” and how Simcha Yacobovichi and James Cameron proved that we could see “natural” and “normal” causes for the “Ten Plagues of Egypt” and I also explained that you could see G-d’s hand in the timing of the execution of the Ten Plagues!  It is the same way here.  If we look at the world’s economy, politics and the backroom deals of the world governments we begin to see the whole story unfold. 

The world economy runs on what is known as “Commodities”.  What are “Commodities”?  “Commodities” are broken down in to several areas but for our purposes here and to make it simple we will divide “commodities” into just two sections.  The section of “Food Commodities” and the section of “Transportation Commodities” are all that we need to deal with to tell just what is happening and why it is happening.

First let us look at the “food” part of our equation.  If you don’t eat then you starve and you die it is just that simple.  Back in the first century when Jesus was with His apostles in the Galilee area of Israel there were too many people to just hunt animals and gather roots and such to feed them all.  Humans had been growing their own food since they were displaced from the Garden of Eden.  Sometimes there was only enough food to feed the farmers and cattlemen and these times were times of drought and famine.  During the times of drought and famine humans fought wars for food and the strong concurred the weak.  Then there were times of plenty and peace.  Grains were prepared and stored against the times of famine and drought to be sold or to be given as bribes to prevent wars.  These first food surpluses were called “commodities”.  Soon humans learned how to trade for these “commodities” and then they learned that they could “buy/hire” armies of their own.  That is a simple example of the food type of commodities.

(The story of Joseph and his brothers and how he was sold into slavery to the Egyptians and came to power in Egypt that is in Bere’shit/ Genesis is actually telling us all about “commodities” and how they were traded, bought and sold!)

Once you have the “food commodities” you need to get them to the consumers.  The people who will purchase or trade for the “food commodities” that you wish to sell or trade.  

This is where the second type of “commodities” comes in to play.  What happens if you need to transport your product in this case food to another town or village?  Just wishing won’t get it done.  You need to transport it to the consumers and that causes the price of the food to go up!  You are then in need of the “transportation commodities”.  To make this even simpler let’s jump from the first century to the present day for the example.  Transportation commodities are things like oil and gas or electricity etc.  Cars and trucks, trains and ships run on these “transportation commodities”.  When you put the manufacturing of other goods so that together with all of these consumer demands you have industry!  All of this has been a lesson in economics.  What is happening today is that some places and countries are bigger consumers than they are producers. ---Welcome to America--- We consume far more than we produce in “transportation commodities” like oil and gas.  So we are at the mercy of the Arab oil producing countries.  This is just a simple fact of life so don’t blame me I’m just a messenger!  The Arabs are just beginning to understand what a real strangle hold they have on the people of the earth.  If you are a Christian you are their enemy and as such you are an enemy of their god not oil but Allah.  Allah is one of the fallen angels that are masquerading as gods.  Soon the” Restrainer” will be taken out of this world again if you are a born again Christian then you are that Restrainer in the form of the Holy Spirit!  We Jews call It, Ruach ha Kodesh.  Ruach ha Kodesh is or means quite literally the Breath of G-d!

Here is what I am getting at we, the people of the earth, humans, are not just producing and transporting just food anymore we are selling communications and entertainment, housing and personal transportation, (cars).  The list goes on and no of the stuff that we consume.  We are no longer satisfied with full bellies we need full minds and stimulus.  (i-pods, PCs, i-Macs, cell phones, Sat. TV, etc.)  We work for our stuff and it does not matter to us who furnishes it to us ~WE WANT IT!~  Russia sells us oil, China has a favored nation status with the USA---they are communist countries and hate us!  ~BUT~ we support them by buying the stuff they sell.  Calm down for a second,… ah,…. They are doing the same thing with us!  Hey!  Aren’t we supposed to be enemies?  So why are we supporting them and them supporting us!  Because we are all ~GREEDY~ we want it all and we want it now!  Gimmie it, mine, mine, mine!  OY!  European Countries have joined together into the European Union just as Russia made the Soviet Union!  The EU is not about philosophy it is about ~MONEY~ we want it all and we want it now!  Gimmie it, mine, mine, mine!  Where did this come from?!!  From America?  Where?  From Lucifer and our own greedy little hearts.  What can we call this?  ~SIN~  Welcome to the Last Days of planet earth as we know it.  This scares the sh*t out of me and it should do the same thing to you.

Right now you are reading this blog and as you are reading it people are cold, hungry and children are dying all over the globe.  My question is when is the last time you or I thought of that without being prompted by a TV commercial or a church sermon?  We have become more a world of consumers and not a world of producers.  Where is the love in that!  What a silly thing for a grown man to say or is it that over the centuries our priorities have changed so much that we really have become just hollow shells of what we once were---God’s children pure and full of love and generosity.  Has Lucifer won?  It would seem so.  Earlier on I said that I would reveal the names of the End Times’ possible players.  Why I say possible is so I won’t get sued.  In 2002 I received a coin from the Island of Patmos.  The face of the coin is most unusual because it was taken from a mosaic done in the third century for a pagan temple in Greece not far from the old Temple of “Artemis”.  The woman is riding a bull Remember the apostle Paul’s run in with that fallen angel posing as a goddess.  We know her out of her many disguises as Lilith Adam’s first wife!  On that 2 Euro coin the woman is Europa, (another Lilith disguise), she is whom Europe was named and the cup she is holding is filled with sacrificial wine or in some stories the blood of men and the "beast" upon which she rides is the bull.  The bull represents Zeus the King of the gods!  Isn’t Lucifer the leader or “king” of the rebellion in heaven? . Zeus and all of the false gods did exist and their adventures may well be true. Just see Bere'shit chapter 6, in Tanakh, (Genesis 6 in the Christian OT), they were the fallen angels that spilled out of heaven and on to the earth during the war in heaven today they play in the second heaven we call "space" Seraphim have wings the fallen have no Seraphim among them so they use what we mistakenly or possibly call truly UFOs!  Those are the ancient gods of man.  Sounds crazy but I can assure you that it is true. ~MORE~ The ten stars on the coin stand for the 10 founding nations of the EU and are also found in the crown of "Our Lady of Guadeloupe".  It gets stranger here---"Our Lady of Guadeloupe" is supposed to be the "Virgin Mary",... it's not it is an Islamic icon of the "Queen of Heaven". There is no "Queen of Heaven" there never was it is the same goddess or to put truth to it "Nephilem" or to translate the Hebrew "fallen one" or fallen angel whom we know as Lilith or Saul/Paul knew as Artemis the Goddess!  Today we know her human counter part as Hilary Clinton our new Secretary of State who will in the end ride the beast out of the ocean, (EU), for a short time as the “Harlot of Babylon”.  Wait a second this is the USA not Babylon right?  Right!  So how did we become Babylon?  The same way that the countries of Europe united to become the EU or the “revised” Roman Empire!  We like Cyrus fought the Babylonians, (Iraq), and we defeated them.  George Bush is not the President of the USA he is the new king of Babylon!  Hello fellow Babylonians!  Get ready to duck!  The war of wars is coming and it my just begin in 2009!

See Jesus has everything nicely divided for us We have the “Last Days” Which for our purposes here began after Jesus ascended or was “Translated” to heaven to wait for G-d the Father to re-send Jesus back to the “second Heaven” to Rapture or Translate us into the clouds.  There are more and more players I don’t know them all --- yet but I will soon.  The Last Days are Marching by quickly soon the Shofar/ Trumpet will sound and the voice of the archangel will be heard to say, “Come up here!”  

Have a nice “ascension/translation/RAPTURE!
