Of course, not all Palestinians are descendants of Ishmael. As we have pointed out more than once, the descendants of Ishmael today – I can tell you from first-hand experience though – are exactly exactly exactly as Yeshua as the angel of the LORD said to Hagar that her son Ishmael would be Gen.16:12.
Israeli Intelligence Service Shin Bet estimates that 60% of the aid going Into Azza (“Gaza”) is being stolen by Hamas-affiliated gangs.
The media reports on the situation in Azza by largely blaming Israel. They don’t tell you that much of the aid is being stolen, which is the real reason Israel has clamped down on relief shipments coming into Azza.
We also wrote to you recently, dear ones, that though Hamas rules Azza with an iron fist, hundreds of Palestinians have protested Hamas’s handling of the situation! Azzans do this at some risk to themselves..
A young Palestinian in Azza who posted a social media video about what Hamas has done to Azza, that Hamas has turned it into an area of ghosts as the young man described it, was kidnapped, beaten to death, and then his body returned to his family….
Abu Mazen, the elderly head of Fatah, the Palestinian Authority, is now openly condemning Hamas’s allowing the stealing of aid to Palestinians in Azza. He has called these gangs ‘dogs’ and that they will be held to account.
Where is the media and all the anti-Israel anti-Semitic pro-Hamas protesters at Harvard, Colombia et al., to condemn Hamas treatment of their fellow Muslims!
A Very Important Place to Yeshua – And Why It Should Be to You
Time constraints for the moment (I need to continue my due diligence on a stairlift for my dear Rachel, plus I have another one or two weekly Torah portions to record), will necessity make this briefer than it should be.
A highly regarded evangelical scholar once remarked that ‘to most Christians, Israel is but 1 of 1,000 points on a theological spectrum’..
To Yeshua, Israel was – and is – as real, dear one, to him, as wherever you’re reading this is to you! Yeshua wept – wept – for Jerusalem Lk.19:41. Scripture is more than very abundantly clear – the Mashiach will rule and reign from Jerusalem!
While most people who haven’t been to Nazeret or Bes Lechem (‘House of Bread’, ‘Bethlehem’) think those places are, as someone put it ‘Biblical Disney theme parks’, the reality is very different. As we’ve pointed out; they’re currently in the hands of the Palestinians. Both Nazeret and Bes Lechem (outside of Manger Square, cleaned up for the tourists) are gritty..
From what I’ve seen, while the Palestinians want ‘more land’, they largely don’t take care of the land they have. They have also repeatedly turned down offers from Israel of 98% to even 100% of the land they’ve asked for!
Palestinian leadership has never – ever – ever – put forth any sort of peace deal.
Expecting to Go to Heaven Because of Your Steadfast Trustworthiness in Yeshua?
Praise God, great! Dear one you should be aware, in short for here, that Heaven is a very very Jewish place! As follows:
* There are no references to the Universal Assembly – period – in Revelation
* None of the descriptions of Heaven revealed to us in chapters such as 4-5, 14, 19, 21-22 speak of Heaven in Gentile terms.
* No where in Scrtpture – whatsoever – is membership, loyalty, or support of a Gentile Building, a means or source of blessing or of getting into Heaven.
* One day, ALL the Gentile Buildings on Earth will be gone. Dear one; are you investing in a place that one day will be gone, and is not a model of what is found in Heaven? Especially when you have an opportunity to do so for those who are the source of blessings for Gentiles, and for Jerusalem – the City of the Father, of David and of David’s Son Yeshua!
* Please Note – nothing in Scripture speaks of Christians going off to ‘do their own thing their own way’, as being successful..
* Scripture does show that Gentiles that help or learn with the Jewish People or Jewish Brothers, are blessed in some way.
* By comparison – Paul warns the individual Gentile in Rom.11:20-22 that if they do not continue in the kindness of God, in Greek they will in fact in the future receive a cutting off (cf. Rom.11:17- 19 for context)
* Heaven in no way, shape, or form, is described as a Gentile Building.
* Heaven – based on a Greek concordance – has 15 references to the ‘naos‘ the Temple.Naos in Greek refers to the inner part of the Temple. Thirteen of the 15 references in Greek are specific; i.e., ‘The Temple’. ‘The’ in Greek is used in part, to specifically identify something..
* In Greek ‘O Theos’ ‘the God’ can only mean ‘the God’; that’s why it’s used. It cannot be an ‘allegory’ for someone else!
* Rev..21, as we’ve repeatedly pointed out dear ones, only refers to the City, the Heavenly Jerusalem, as ‘the’, but was allegorized by Augustine to mean the Gentile Institution on Earth.
*In Rev. 21 there are 9 – 9 – references to ‘the City’. It should be noted – none of these are expressed in terms of an indirect reference to the City. ALL the references are expressed in terms of:
– the specific subject identified
– In absolute terms
– A very very specific and limited focused reference to the City
* The references to the ekklesia – assembly not Church/church – in Revelation. are limited to Yeshua’s warning to the 7 Gentile assemblies in Rev. 2-3 and, Rev. 22:16. In Rev. 22:16 Yeshua tells the angel to tell the assemblies that he, Yeshua, specifically identifies himself with David
* Even Rev. .22:17 speaks of the Bride – a Jewish based idea – not, the ‘Church’.
* Worship in Revelation is seen in terms of the Temple – there are no post-Biblical ‘denominations’ in Heaven! Cf Ish. 6:3
* Yeshua – now in Heaven (!) – is specifically identified with the Jewish People! In addition to Rev..22:16 please cf. also Rev.5:5.
* Rev..5:5 contains not one but 2 specific identifications of Yeshua with the Jewish People
* So then dear one, if Heaven is important to you and now that you know, if you didn’t before, that Heaven is a very Jewish place – and that the Jewish People, Jewish Brothers, and Jerusalem are extremely important to both the Father and His Son Yeshua, why not focus on, pray for, and be supportive of, accordingly!
* Imagine the potential positive possibilities for you – and for the Body of the Mashiach.
