@Joel7Richardson That is a really interesting question, Joel. The spirit that is invading the thoughts and minds of both groups is leading to the escalating persecution of Biblical Zionists.
What really chaps my hide is that this gathering would be considered illegal if any other religious group blocked public access without special permits. I haven't seen any legal movement to stop this obvious, subtle conquest of the US. Radical movements must be stopped by radical legal action. God help us.
It's becoming more and more obvious: the people aren't the problem. I don't think it's going to happen without scrapping the filibuster. There are RINO and DINO traitors who will stop it. Even if the filibuster is scrapped, the RINOs will vote with the Dems to block the SAVE Act. Their strings are being pulled by the Puppet Master, the Father of Lies. If the deep state allows the SAVE Act to pass, they will have lost their power to control government.
Thanks Elon, for the courage it takes to challenge the RINOs and DINOs who refuse to be governed by the people. They will do anything to hold power over the citizens of the republic. The radical Islamic systemic infiltration in our country has been promoted by these same traitors who are fostering the downfall of our country. God help us.
@rabbriansamuel Ezekiel's Temple will be the fourth. The tribulation third Temple may be a tabernacle to get things rolling quickly. The altar will be the first thing rebuilt. This war in the Middle East may bring in the seven-year covenant, which may be disguised as something else.
@rabbriansamuel Well said. Paul's words are so profound that those who don't study the foundational teachings of the Torah and Prophets on which he draws will get their understanding all twisted up.
Judaism and Christianity have many man-made traditions and pagan practices that pollute God's intentions for mankind. Of course, He knew that. That is why He gave the history of man from the beginning until the end. All of God's appointed festivals (the seven High Days) are rehearsals for what was and is to come. It is all about the Jewish Messiah Yeshua (Jesus). He said the Law and the Prophets will not pass away until heaven and earth pass away. He came to fulfill all that is written of Him in the Law and the Prophets, and He still must fulfill the fall festivals. Much of Christianity does not understand this.
When the Messiah returns, His final gathering of Joseph and Judah will be accomplished (Ezekiel 37:15-23). Many in Christianity and similar beliefs worldwide do not know they are remnants of the tribes of Israel (Joseph/Ephraim). The in-gathering happens at the Messiah's return.
Jer 3:8-9
8 Then I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but went and played the harlot also.
NKJV
1 Cor 7:39-40
39 A wife is bound by law as long as her husband lives; but if her husband dies, she is at liberty to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.
NKJV
The Northern Kingdom of Israel/Ephraim was divorced. She cannot marry again until her husband dies. {the Cross). The marriage supper of the Lamb is significant.
Ezek 37:15-17
One Kingdom, One King
15 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 16 "As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: 'For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.' Then take another stick and write on it, 'For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.' 17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.
NKJV
The book of Hosea describes God's divorce of the Northern Kingdom (the ten tribes of Joseph/Ephraim) and their scattering among the nations for committing adultery with pagan practices. Scripture says they would become a multitude of nations. The Messiah will reunite the Northern Kingdom with Judah/Benjamin at His return.
Many Jewish rabbis do not believe Yeshua is the Messiah because He did not regather the two houses 2,000 years ago as expected. Jewish sages expected the Messiah to regather all Israel at His first coming, but it did not happen because of sin. The Torah speaks of two appearances: first as the suffering Messiah who is cut off, then after two days (2,000 years) He will revive us.
Both Jews and many Christians expect the Messiah in this generation. In my opinion, today's Christian religion resembles the Israel God divorced, and Judah also has many Babylonian practices.
Whether this is His first or second coming, the Mashiach must come soon. He came as the Lamb the first time and returns as the Lion of Judah, the King of all Israel, sitting on David's throne in Jerusalem.
On August 21, 1790, President George Washington composed a letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island, and to its leader, Moses Seixas. Seixas had written a letter to Washington four days earlier.
In this letter, Seixas described the benefits that his community received under the new Constitution and expressed his โdeep sense of gratitude to the Almightyโ for โa Government . . . erected by the Majesty of the People,โ committed to the โliberty of conscience,โ and โdeeming every one, of whatever Nation, tongue, or language equal parts of the great governmental Machine.โ Washington responded with a brief but powerful letter, expressing Americaโs enduring commitment to the principle of tolerance and the freedom of conscience.
Gentlemen.
While I receive, with much satisfaction, your Address replete with expressions of affection and esteem; I rejoice in the opportunity of assuring you, that I shall always retain a grateful remembrance of the cordial welcome I experienced in my visit to Newport, from all classes of Citizens.
The reflection on the days of difficulty and danger which are past is rendered the more sweet, from a consciousness that they are succeeded by days of uncommon prosperity and security. If we have wisdom to make the best use of the advantages with which we are now favored, we cannot fail, under the just administration of a good Government, to become a great and a happy people.
The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights. For happily the Government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens, in giving it on all occasions their effectual support.
It would be inconsistent with the frankness of my character not to avow that I am pleased with your favorable opinion of my Administration, and fervent wishes for my felicity. May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while everyone shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.
Go: Washington
@jtalexander Another leftist with TDS having a knee-jerk reaction. They are the reason egg prices went up. The egg shortages are a result of their faces being covered with egg.
The reality is that anyone in a group that is a believer and follower of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacobโregardless of ethnicityโis an enemy of the spirit that is drawing the world to a final conflict for this age. The Jews first, because the Coming King will come from the line of David. And much of Christianity is now starting to fall away because of a lack of understanding. Persecution is coming for both. If I knew how to start a Kosher fast food restaurant, I would do it here in middle Oregon.
