Not a matter of religion

The Christian Revolution is not a matter of religion. In man's attempt at religion, there is a great deceiver that leads him astray. Satan takes advantage of man's desire to make rules and regulations and have other people observe and obey them. Through religion, that slippery serpent puts blindfolds on people and takes their focus away from God and leads them astray and takes glory away from God. The Devil tells the deceived they're on the pathway to heaven when they're actually on the pathway to hell. A cunning serpent, this Satan. Man is not happy to only preach and teach the truths that God has revealed, man wants to inject his own rules and regulations and portray them as if they are sacred. That is vain worship. 

Here is true worship:

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

—John 4:23-24

God has laid down a precious cornerstone in Zion, a sure foundation:

Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

—Isaiah 28:16

This precious corner stone, a sure foundation, is the servant spoken of here:

10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.

12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.

—Isaiah 43:10-12

In verse 10 above, “understand that I am he” is the Holy God of Israel declaring that He has come in the flesh (JOHN 1;14). Jesus (the LORD) has declared. Jesus (the LORD) has saved. No other name has been given under heaven that men might be saved (ACTS 4:12). But for some two thousand years now, the Jews have rejected Jesus (Yeshua). And God has held them accountable for it. For the Prophet spoken of by the LORD here in Deuteronomy is Jesus:

18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.

19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

—Deuteronomy 18:18-19

This drama between God and Israel is personal. So lo and behold, in 70 A.D., the temple was destroyed. And in the last century, the holocaust came upon the Jews. So does this mean the chosen people of God have fallen to their ruin? O no! God forbid! In 1948, Israel was established again upon the earth and in 1967, they won back Jerusalem! Hallelujah! This marvelous plan, to make the stone initially rejected by Israel to be the most precious stone of all, is the LORD’s doing:

22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

23 This is the Lord's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.

—Psalm 118:22-23

So that we Gentiles might not, in our arrogance, think of ourselves as superior to the Jews, the Apostle Paul did not want us to be ignorant of the mystery that the blindness of the Jews will only last until the fullness of the Gentiles is complete (ROM 11:25). And now that we’ve come to the end of the age, we will see the great end-time harvest (REV 14:16) and we will see the Jews come home to Jesus the Messiah, Yeshua Hamashiach, at the end of this drama. This has all been God’s doing. The LORD will remove the blindfold off of the Jews, for the appointed time has come. And now, Israel will see the words of the Hebrew prophets play out on the world stage in the end-time harvest and the three WOES of the Book of Revelation. Joel’s army will come on the scene in the first WOE. The head of Joel’s army, the strong one of JOEL 2:11 that executes the word of the LORD, is Isaiah’s bird of prey from the east, the destroyer of nations in JER 4:7 and REV 9:11. During the second WOE, Daniel’s little horn that waxes great (DAN 8:10), or the Antichrist, will appear on the scene at the appointed time, returning from the past (DAN 11:28-29). The Antichrist once was, now is no more, and yet, will come up out of the bottomless pit after the first WOE (REV 17:8) and do his thing for 3 ½ years during the time of the second WOE. It is during the time of the first two WOEs that Isaiah’s bird of prey, a man from a far off country (far from Israel), will execute the counsel of the LORD. For the LORD has spoken it and will bring it to pass and they, Israel, will see it, along with all the other nations of the earth. They will all see it, for the LORD has purposed it and planned it from the beginning: 

9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

11 Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.

—Isaiah 46:9-11

You will find more about Isaiah’s mysterious ravenous bird of prey from the east in "The Sons of God: A Discourse on the Christian Revolution", like Isaiah’s bird of prey is also Ezekiel’s slayer (EZEK 21). Let it suffice to say for now that when the Jews see the words of the Hebrew prophets play out on the world stage, they will have no choice but to acknowledge that “Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD” (PSALM 118:26). They will see the house of God being built by one of the two witnesses of REV 11, one of the two olive trees who stand before the LORD, specifically, the olive tree represented by Zerubbabel (ZECH 4:9) who, as it turns out, in God’s end time plan, is a modern-day Elijah who will commandeer the first two WOES in the Book of Revelation. Before it is all over, before the holy covenant of Daniel’s 70th week is consummated at the third and final WOE (the Second Coming), the LORD will pour out the spirit of grace and the spirit of supplication upon the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and they will mourn for the one they pierced (Jesus/Yeshua): 

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

—Zechariah 12:10

They will mourn for the one they pierced, Jesus (Yeshua), and they will also come to know that Jesus came the first time not to do away with the law of Moses, but to fulfill it: 

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

—Matthew 5:17-18

Jesus also said:

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

—Luke 16:17

In other words, the law of Moses is the impetus behind this present heaven and earth. The law of Moses gives rise to this present heaven and earth. So as long as this present heaven and earth remain, the law of Moses will remain, and vice versa. Israel will once again practice the law of Moses in a rebuilt temple on this present earth during the Millennial Reign until this present heaven and earth pass away and we get a brand spanking new heaven and earth, when God comes down out of heaven to live with mankind on the new earth in the new Jerusalem a little over a thousand years from now (REV 21:3, EZEK 48:35). After the three WOEs of REV 8:13 are over and Jesus returns, the temple will be rebuilt and for the thousand years of the Millennial Reign, the tribes of Israel will practice the law of Moses in Jerusalem on this present earth. Then, shortly thereafter, after the Gog and Magog thing (REV 20:7-9, EZEK 38, EZEK 39, ZECH 14:1-5), after the Devil is slain in the heart of the seas and tossed into the lake of fire (REV 20:10), this present heaven and earth, along with the law of Moses, will be done away with permanently and we will get a brand new heaven and new earth and God will come down out of heaven to live with mankind upon the new earth. At that time, in the fullness of kingdom come, the throne of God and the Lamb will be in the new Jerusalem (REV 22:3). On the new earth, there will no longer be a temple in Jerusalem (REV 21:22). The sanctuary of the Most High at that time will be in a northern suburb of Jerusalem you could say, in the northern-most portion of land in the sacred area of land dedicated to the LORD amongst the land allotted to the twelve tribes of Israel (south of Judah’s allotment) as described by the prophet Ezekiel. And just like the law of Moses is the impetus behind this present heaven and earth, just like the law of Moses gives rise to this present heaven and earth, at that time, the rules and regulations of Ezekiel’s temple will be the impetus behind the new heaven and new earth, the rules and regulations of Ezekiel’s temple will give rise to the new heaven and new earth. And it will be so forever more. Morning by morning in kingdom come, in perpetuity, the sons of God will be reminded of their precious salvation when a one year old lamb without blemish is sacrificed in Ezekiel’s temple (EZEK 46:13). At that time, the river of the water of life will flow from the throne of God and the Lamb in the new Jerusalem (REV 22:1, ZECH 14:8) and it will flow from Ezekiel’s temple, where it will start out as a trickle and gradually increase from something that men can step over to something that men are unable to cross over, a roaring river of the water of life (EZEK 47:1-12).

NOTE: In great irony for both modern day Christians and Jews, the inner parts of Ezekiel’s temple forms a shape familiar to all present day Christians. Yes, I'm talking about a cross. 

When the new eternal order of things comes into play, when kingdom comes in all its fullness, when God comes down out of heaven to live with mankind upon the earth, there will be no night in the new Jerusalem. The sons of God will not need a lamp or light from the sun for the glory of God will lighten the new Jerusalem and the Lamb will be the light thereof (REV 21:23, ISAIAH 60:19, ZECH 14:6-7). The sons of God will walk in the light of the new Jerusalem and they shall reign forever and ever (REV 22:5, DAN 7:14,27). The gates of the new Jerusalem will never close and the nations of the earth will bring their bounty into it (ISAIAH 60:11, REV 21:23-26).

So know this you Gentiles, once the complete number of Gentiles come into the fold in the Christian Revolution, then the Jews will come home to Messiah and all of Israel will be saved. 

So how should we Gentiles look upon Israel until then? The Apostle Paul tells us that they are beloved by the LORD because of the patriarchs. Our salvation comes from the Jews. In ROM 11, the Apostle Paul tells us that there is a mystery going on with Israel. First, mercy came to the Gentiles, who were unbelievers. Not only were they unbelievers, they weren’t even looking for God. Yet, God came unto us Gentiles in the flesh and gave us grace. Now, in a kind of balancing act, it is no longer us Gentiles but the Jews who are the unbelievers in need of mercy and grace from God. Israel has been blind to the Gospel for about two thousand years now. But Paul tells us that in the final generation (this wicked and perverse generation we find ourselves living in now), in His grand plan and mystery and scheme of things, God will bring mercy to Israel and they will have their eyes opened by our Father who art in heaven. Until then, Paul tells us that we should not boast against Israel nor be high minded about them but be humble and respectful. For if God spared not the natural olive branches (Israel), He will not spare the wild olive branches that have been grafted in (the Gentiles). Paul did not want us to be wise in our own conceits, to be ignorant of this mystery—that the blindness of Israel is temporary and will only last until the fullness of the Gentiles at the end of the age and then all of Israel will be saved. So the blindness that has happened to Israel is only until the fullness of the Gentiles at the end of the age. Once the complete number of Gentiles enters the fold at the conclusion of the Christian Revolution, then the blindfold on Israel will be lifted and it will be life for the dead! Hallelujah!

The twelve tribes of Israel are the natural olive branches of the LORD, so it will not take God long to rejoin them back to Himself. It is not Israel that is holding back the human race. Hear this O Israel: it is during the second WOE of the Book of Revelation that Daniel’s fourth beast shall come, the beast with 10 horns that shall devour and trample down the world. The little horn that shall uproot three of the horns, the horn with eyes like a man and a mouth speaking great things, the one we Christians call the Antichrist, Daniel’s little horn that waxes great (DAN 8:10), will have his 3 ½ years of authority to stop the daily sacrifice in the temple in heaven (the continual burnt offering) and the seasons and law shall be given into his hands as spoken of in DAN 7:25. It is at the completion of those 3 ½ years that the power of the holy people will finally be broken by Daniel’s little horn that waxes great, but the Most High will sit in judgment and take away the dominion of the Antichrist and hand over to the saints of the Most High the kingdom and the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole of heaven, and their rule and reign will be without end (DAN 7:26-27). At the completion of those 3 ½ years, the wonders will come to an end and Daniel’s prophecies will be completed as spoken of in Daniel 12:6-7 of the Masoretic text. Those 3 ½ years in Daniel correspond to the 1260 days of the second WOE spoken of in REV 11 and completes the mystery of God spoken of in REV 10:7. It is 30 days after those 1260 days (the 1260 days when the daily burnt offering is taken away in the temple in heaven) that the abomination of desolation will be set up as spoken of in Daniel 12:11 and then the indignation will be complete. Then shall the 7th trumpet in Revelation blow and the end (the third WOE) will come like a flood (DAN 9:26) at the consummation of Daniel’s 70th week. Yeshua (Jesus) will come like Noah’s flood except that instead of with a flood of water, Jesus will overwhelm the earth with a flood of fire. Daniel’s little horn that waxes great will be destroyed with the spirit of the mouth of Messiah and by the splendor of His coming (2 THESS 2:8). When Jesus returns riding upon the clouds in great power and glory, He is coming with rewards and the saints of the Most High will be granted a kingdom without end (DAN 7:18, 7:27, REV 5:10, 22:5)! Amen! Hallelujah! 

Now hear this you Gentile nations: your religions and traditions are useless! It would be a disservice to you to pander to your impotent religions and traditions. They cannot save you from the destruction that is coming. Just as it was with Moses and the Israelites in Egypt, only the blood of the Passover Lamb can save you from the death and destruction that is coming. Only through the precious blood of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world can you receive true salvation and eternal life. So forget your useless religions and traditions, they are of no help to you at all and will not keep you safe. Only in Jesus will you find refuge from what is coming over the heavens and the earth.
