Repent! The End is HERE!

When will people wake up? When will people realize the need to repent of their sins before Yahweh, God of the Universe, returns? Why are people procrastinating, quite possibly until it's too late?

Where are our preachers? They are busy building bigger churches instead of warning their congregations that the Kingdom of God is at hand. They are speaking on the importance of tithing instead of on the importance of preparing for war. They are motivational speakers rather than preachers of Yahweh's Word.

The prophets; Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the others ALL warned us of this coming time and war. We are sitting here in America IGNORING their warnings to us because we have been taught by the preachers and prophecy teachers that America is not even in Bible prophecy and all that the Bible has to say on the matter of End Times is about a tiny little strip of land in Palestine (the Israeli State) so we here in the good ole' U.S.A. have nothing to worry about.

UGH! UGH! UGH! There are so many things wrong with that way of thinking that I don't know where to begin.

1. The people who are living in that tiny strip of land in Palestine are NOT God's chosen people. According to their own literature, encyclopedia and writings and according to all historical documentation those people are not descended from Jacob, the father of the Twelve Tribes - the chosen people of Yahweh. They are a mixed people descending from the following people groups: Japeth (son of Noah), Esau/Edomites (descended from Esau brother of Jacob) and Cannanites (descended from Esau who married Caananite women).

So if that is true that means that all of this talk about 1948 being the start of the end time timeline is false talk. It means that that land over there has either no prophetic value or a different prophetic value. It means that all of those prophecies that the prophets spoke about must be about another place and another people.

2. America is in Bible prophecy. Not by name - how could that be when it wasn't even named until thousands of years after the prophecies were written. But it is in there. Isaiah 18 is an entire chapter that I call the America chapter. Then there is this little tidbit in II Samuel. Setting the stage for this verse we have King David in his palace in Jerusalem. He is king over all Israel - all twelve tribes - then entire nation is at peace for the first time. The prophet Nathan gives him this message from Yahweh.

II Samuel 7:10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

Why would God be telling David that he would appoint a place for Israel if it was the same place that David was already standing. That Israel was already occupying? That was also considered "their own" and that no one would "afflict them"?

Because Yahweh knew that Israel would only be together for a very short time and then for 3000+ years there would be conflict and a scattering of the Twelve Tribes until a few hundred years before the end of this age He, Yahweh, would bring the majority of His chosen people to a land of unwalled villages, a wilderness, a place of peace and safety and keep them safe until the final time of trouble. That place is America. The home of Christianity, the home of missionaries, the home of people who worship the one true God, Yahweh. That is, until the last 50 years or so.

This country is no longer under Yahweh's protection. We have turned away from Him just like our forefathers, the Israelites of the Old Testament did. We practice paganism and don't keep His Law and we ignore the prophets. Those prophets who are telling us what to expect, when to expect it and what to do to stay safe through it. We are ignoring it and we will get the same results that they did 2700 years ago.

The Bible speaks of the war of Gog-Magog/Armageddon. This is the war to end this current age and take us to the next age. This will be a war fought on North American soil. Are you ready for it? Or are you still convinced that it isn't going to happen here or that even if it does you don't have to worry because you'll be raptured out?

Well, all I can say is the evidence of Scripture doesn't back up the position of an Israeli state Armageddon and a rapture but if you want to hold onto that then so be it.

For those of you who want to know more there are links on my website where you can do more study. http://www.infiniteabundance.us

Repent because the end is not near - it is at the doorstep. It is here and there is not much time left to get right with Yahweh.

And the Truth Shall Set You Free! Study of Ezekiel 38 & 39 Introduction!

I had no idea of the power of these words that our Messiah said in the book of John.

John 8:31, 32 - So Yahshua said to those Judahites who believed Him, “If you stay in My Word, you are truly My taught ones, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

I have spent the last few months studying the Scriptures for the Truth of a matter that came to my attention at the end of last year. Someone sent me some information concerning who the twelve tribes of Israel are today. The information made the claim that because the Bible is a book of Israel that it was important information to know.

I had heard a few times in the past of the lost tribes and where they might be but never put much stock in it figuring that Yahweh would sort it all out when He came back and that there were more important things to work on right now. This new information was given to me in such a way that I knew it was something that was to be looked at now as it has much bearing on end times and who is who in today's world and what that means to a follower of Yahweh.

So I have spent the last months opening up my mind to something I previously thought unimportant. Not anymore. I am now convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that this information is critical to all believers and that with this information the Holy Scriptures are unlocked to reveal truths that were never seen before.

I have read the Bible cover to cover many times. Now I read it with new eyes. It is unbelievable to me the things I missed before. With this new information it is clear. I am seeing things I never saw before. It has given me true freedom and peace and I hope to show you that you can have that same peace.

Our world today is in turmoil. The powers that run this world are running amok and taking more and more control. I was talking with someone the other day who came here years ago from Poland. They lived there under the communist regime. He said that they had more freedom there than we do in America today. And he is right. Every day you read news of more liberty and freedoms being stolen from us.

What you might not know is that this has been planned for centuries and it is now coming to fruition. This is an idea that was hatched in ancient Babylon and the final battleground is North America. The wilderness that is spoken of in the book of Isaiah is now full of Yahweh's people living in unwalled villages.

Armageddon is coming to North America. Ezekiel 38 & 39 is going to be fulfilled, not as the Christiandom End-Time preachers say it's going to be, but like the Bible says it will be. It's time to take off the dispensational hats and the blinders that we've been wearing and read the truth of the Word of Yahweh.

The Truth will set you free.

This is part one of a series on this issue. The beginning, the introduction if you like. In the coming blogs, I will be showing who true Israel is, who is living in the Israeli state of Palestine and what this all means.

One last note for today. Please prepare for what is coming.
I Timothy 5:8 And if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the belief and is worse than an unbeliever.

Just as Joseph prepared for his family to survive the 7 years of famine, we need to prepare to go through the terrible time of trial about to come upon us.

Looby Loo!

Remember the game we used to play as children called Looby Loo? Put your left foot in, take your left foot out, put your whole self in, take your whole self out, etc. I believe that many Christians play this game with their faith. These past few days I've been re-evaluating my walk and realized that it is so easy to have one foot in and one foot out at the same time. This world is so challenging right now that we have our hands full just trying to manage and get through our days.

You want to please those around you; your family, your boss, your friends, your co-workers, etc. The question we rarely ask ourselves is are we pleasing Yehoveh God? Are we putting the way people think about us above what He thinks about us.

Over and over the past few days Yehoveh has put His Word in front of me with the answer. He has put people in my path with the answer. The answer is that I have been more concerned with what others think of me than I have with being obedient to Him. I have thought about and worried what they might think of me, how they might treat me, if they would like me anymore or even walk away from me if I stood up for truth. Would I lose business? Would I lose a friendship? Would I lose a close family member? Would I get ridiculed, laughed at, ignored, hated, called names, rejected? Would they remove me as a friend from Facebook - sad, but true.

I had one foot in with Yehoveh and the other one firmly in the world. This morning He led me to the first three chapters in Revelation. He made me realize that living that way leads to destruction. Those three chapters are written to His believing church. They were not written to the unbelievers of the world or even seekers. He was admonishing His people to step up and do right by Him, not right by the world. He also let them know quite frankly that if they didn't, the consequences would be severe. Eternity without Him.

Gasp! Yes - contrary to the popular belief that is taught in today's churches, you can walk away from Him. You have free will and can choose your eternity. Messiah Yeshua spoke about this very issue in Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord! will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, only those who do what my Father in Heaven wants. 22 On that Day, many will say to me, Lord, Lord! Didn't we prophesy in your name? Didn't we expel demons in your name? Didn't we perform many miracles in your name? 23 Then I will tell them to their faces, I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!"

He was not talking to unbelievers. Unbelievers don't do these things. He was talking to people who were doing things in His Holy name. Believers.

Revelation 1:3 Blessed are the reader and hearers of the words of this prophecy, provided they obey the things written in it! For the time is near!

In the time of John the word hear did not just mean to hear something, it was an action word. It meant that you had to DO something to show that you heard and understood. If you trust Yeshua/Jesus then hear and obey! If you have a foot in the world NOW is the time to pull it out and firmly stand on the Rock of Salvation. It's all or nothing - you can't have it both ways.

Joshua 24: 14-15 Therefore fear Yehoveh, and serve Him truly and sincerely. Put away the gods your ancestors served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve Yehoveh! 15 If it seems bad to you to serve Yehoveh, then choose today whom you are going to serve! Will it be the gods your ancestors served beyond the River? or the gods of the Emori, in whose land you are living?

As for me and my household, we will serve Yehoveh!

What's in a Word? - SYNCRETISM

According to the American Heritage Dictionary the definition of syncretism is "Reconciliation or fusion of differing systems of belief, as in philosophy or religion, especially when success is partial or the result is heterogeneous".

I recently finished a study on the book of Judges. It is a good example of syncretism. Yehovah instructed Joshua to enter Canaan and give the people living there a choice. Either pack up and leave or die. There was no middle ground. He did not want His chosen people to live with people who held other beliefs and other gods. Syncretism happened because Israel did not obey God. Instead they decided to tolerate the Canaanites and allowed them to live along side of the Hebrews. They tolerated the many gods including Baal and Ashteroth.

It didn't take long for syncretism to rear its ugly head. It happened very quickly and before the Israelites knew what happened to them they were worshiping not only Yehovah but the gods of the Canaanites as well. They worked together, worshiped together, married each other and so on. The Torah was not being followed and the priesthood and sacrificial system set up by Yehovah at Mt. Sinai was completely watered down.

Today we are seeing the same thing happen to both the Jews and the Christian church. Instead of following Yehovah's Word, we are building churches based on doctrine. Doctrine that in many cases has no real basis in the Bible. Doctrine that is falling short of readying the church for the fast approaching Kingdom of Yehovah.

The church has adopted the ways of the world to such an extent that it's hard to tell the difference between the two. When a person listens to the same music, watches the same movies and television shows, reads the same books, talks the same talk and basically lives the same life as someone who doesn't know Messiah Yeshua, how are they living the life of a set-apart people?

One reason Yehovah set down the Torah laws was to show how His people were different from all other peoples of the world. We are not supposed to be the same. We are different; set apart for a Holy God. That God expects His people to be different than the rest of the world.

I ask myself daily if someone was watching me could they tell by my actions that I am a follower of Messiah Yeshua. Am I keeping both feet where they belong or do I have one foot in this world?

Many Christians today are living a life of syncretism. They don't even realize that they have combined the world and their faith. I pray that you are keeping yourself set apart for Him.

Ellis Skolfield - End of Days, Islam, and what about the Tribulation???

I just have to recommend another excellent read for those of you who love end times and prophecy. This is another entirely new thought process and you will need to go into it very open minded. I first read some of Ellis Skolfields work a few years ago when I was a firm believer in a pretribulation rapture according to the Left Behind series of books. I read a bit and put it down thinking man he is way out in left field and I don't want to read another thing. So I didn't. Until last week.

Funny the path that God puts us on. I'm convinced that our journey will take us as far as our obedience to God will. The minute the obedience stops, so does the knowledge, widsom and understanding. Every day I ask God for those three things and I work to be obedient to His Word, the Bible. And He continues to reward me by leading me on a path of more and more knowledge of Him and His ways.

Matthew 7:8 "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

Many people are taught this verse in relation to their physical life. A nice house, car, bank account, etc. I believe this verse means to ask for spiritual gifts and they will be given to you. Gifts of understanding, knowledge and wisdom are gifts that I desire from my God and I believe He is and has given them to me.

So back to the topic at hand. Mr. Ellis Skolfield. Last week I happened across his work again. In fact twice it was shown to me in different ways. This is where the obedience kicks in. I try not to make God show me too many times or I think He just might stop showing me. So I looked Mr. Skolfield up again. I read through his website. http://www.ellisskolfield.com/

Mr. Skolfield has many letters, articles and books free online just for the time to download them. This is a big thing to me. That this information is out there at no charge shows a giving heart by Mr. Skolfield.

I downloaded and printed off the book, The Last Prophet. Approximately 190 pages and read it, finishing it over the weekend. Get ready for a major paradigm shift in your end times thinking. You may be like me a few years ago and throw it to the ground saying, that's absurd. Or you may be like me now, going hmmmmmm...let's see what the bible says about this.....oh my well this is starting to make a lot of good sense.

We've all heard of the 7-year tribulation, 3.5 year great tribulation, antichrist, mark of the beast, false prophet, and all the rest of the end times verbiage. Prophecies in Daniel, Matthew, Ezekiel and of course Revelation have peaked curiosities for centuries. Problem is, according to Mr. Skolfield, none of those prophecies could possibly make sense until 1948 and 1967. Why? Two reasons: Israel and Jerusalem.
