-

EVERY ONE of these 355 Scriptures is taken from the Tanach, the Hebrew Bible.

The Torah requires ONLY TWO WITNESSES for a matter to be established:

"BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES SHALL EVERY MATTER BE ESTABLISHED" [DEUTERONOMY 19:15].

HOW MANY MORE WITNESSES DO YOU

NEED?

WHY ONLY JESUS CAN BE THE MESSIAH

“Lo, I come: IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK it is written OF ME" (Psalm 40:7). 

"ALL THINGS MUST BE FULFILLED, which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me". (Jesus Christ, Luke 24:44). 
"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he (Jesus) expounded unto THEM IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES THE THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF." (Luke 24:27). 
"For had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: for HE WROTE OF ME." (Jesus Christ, John 5:46). 

"To Him GIVE ALL THE PROPHETS WITNESS" (Acts 10:43).

If it were only 5, 7 or even 10 Scriptures, traditional Jewish rabbis could possibly dismiss it as “mere coincidence” that those prophecies fit Jesus like a glove.

However, they CANNOT DISMISS NOR “EXPLAIN AWAY” OVER 350 PROPHECIES in the Torah and the Tanach that were fulfilled by Jesus of Nazareth.

But before we get to those…

1. There’s the PREDICTION BY JESUS that the Second Temple would be destroyed, not leaving one stone upon another. (Matthew 24:1; Mark 13:2; Luke 21:6)

It happened just as He said.

2. He predicted that first century Jerusalem would be razed and leveled to the ground. (Luke 19:41-44)

It happened just as He said.

And those who live in Jerusalem, or have visited Jerusalem, HAVE SEEN WITH THEIR OWN EYES JUST HOW PRECISELY Jesus’ prophecy was fulfilled.

Of course, naysayers will falsely claim that such passages were “added” to the Gospels “many years later” to make it appear as though Jesus had predicted these things.

If they did, they added them TO THREE DIFFERENT Gospels: And to EVERY EXISTING COPY of those Gospels. Not an easy feat.

3. However, Jesus made yet ANOTHER prediction on which naysayers CANNOT cast EVEN THE SLIGHTEST doubt.

The reason is that Jesus made that prediction 2,000 years ago. It’s been in the Gospels for TWO MILLENNIA and its fulfillment ONLY TOOK PLACE IN MODERN TIMES (1967):

Jesus predicted that Jerusalem would be trampled by Gentiles, NON-STOP until the “times of Gentiles were fulfilled” (Luke 21:24).

NO ONE ELSE has ever made this prediction.

And NO RABBI or skeptic can argue that the New Testament was “doctored” to say that because that prophecy has been PERMANENTLY recorded in the Brit Hadasha for the past 2,000 years, and it was fulfilled BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES on Iyyar 28, 5727 (June 7, 1967).

That is when BIBLICAL Jerusalem returned to Jewish control AFTER MORE THAN TWO THOUSAND YEARS OF UNINTERRUPTED Gentile trampling.

Who, in his wildest imagination, could have foreseen such fateful event?

No one but God!

Iyyar 28 is THE DAY when the risen Jesus ASCENDED TO THE FATHER. (Acts 1:3, 9-11)

Wow! ANOTHER “coincidence”!!!

4. There’s also the problem with David’s lineage:

Messiah MUST BE descended from David. Only one tiny problem:

David’s lineage through Solomon’s descendant Jeconiah was CURSED. (Jeremiah 22:30)

God swore -- and we know that Yahweh DOES NOT LIE -- that NO ONE from Jeconiah’s lineage would ever again sit on Israel’s Throne.

You have a problem: Whoever the “Messiah” may be, he’s GOT TO BE a descendant of both King David and Solomon, BUT He CANNOT DESCEND FROM Jeconiah.

ONLY Jesus solves the problem by being LEGALLY descended from David and Solomon through His stepfather Joseph, and being PHYSICALLY descended from David through His mother Mary, through David’s son Nathan. (1 Chronicles 3:5; Luke 3:31-32; Romans 1:3)

5. Birth records were kept in the temple. It was destroyed in 70 A.D.

If Messiah hasn’t yet appeared, HOW ON EARTH is “he” going to PROVE his qualifications by ancestry? Ooops!

6. Then there’s the Shroud of Turin

A piece of linen cloth dating back to the first century, that bears the image of a man scourged, crucified, stabbed with a spear, and crowned with thorns, IN PRECISELY the same manner as the Gospels describe the Crucifixion of Jesus.

Even with ALL the sophisticated modern technology at our disposal, NO ONE can still explain HOW the Image on that cloth was formed.

7. Then there’s the fact that Jesus has ABOUT 2 BILLION ADORING followers on earth 2,000 YEARS AFTER He died, rose and ascended.

8. Then there’s the EMPTY TOMB.

In a tiny city ONLY ONE SQUARE MILE IN SIZE, population 40,000 – ALL Jewish or Roman authorities needed to do was produce Jesus’  DEAD BODY 4 days after His Crucifixion and there would be NO CHRISTIANS.

They COULDN’T:

NO ONE could explain the empty tomb in the first century. And NO ONE can explain it today – apart from Resurrection from the dead.

9. And then there are THE ODDS:

The late Peter Stoner, Chairman of the Departments of Mathematics and Astronomy at Pasadena City College, and Professor Emeritus of Science at Westmont College, calculated the probability that ONE INDIVIDUAL could fulfill JUST 8 of the Old Testament prophecies concerning the Jewish Messiah as one in 100,000,000,000,000,000.

That's one in ONE HUNDRED QUADRILLIONS.

That figure is INCOMPREHENSIBLE to the human mind.

We are simply INCAPABLE of grasping the SHEER ENORMITY OF IT.

But what if that ONE INDIVIDUAL fulfilled, NOT JUST 8, but 48 such prophecies?

Professor Stoner estimated the odds as ONE IN 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,

000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

That's one in (1 followed by 157 ZEROES). The figure is so large, I wouldn't even know how to say such number... let alone imagine it.

It reflects virtual IMPOSSIBILITY that ONE PERSON could fulfill 48 of the Messianic prophecies in the Old Testament.

So, how many of those prophecies did Jesus actually fulfill, IN PRECISE DETAIL?

Not 8, not 48, but OVER 350.

That's right, OVER 350.

Lord willing, by His Grace, we will LIST ALL OF THEM in the next message. (I’d planned to do it on today’s message, but just when I think the list is COMPLETE, more prophecies fulfilled by Jesus keep popping up).

Here’s a small sampling:

1. HAS TO BE BORN IN BETHLEHEM (MICAH 5:2).

2. HAS TO COME FROM KING DAVID'S GENEALOGY (ISAIAH 9:7).

3. Has to be preceded by a forerunner (Malachi 3:1).

4. Would have a Galilean ministry. His light would shine in Galilee (Isaiah 9:1-2).

5. Rides into Jerusalem on a donkey (Zechariah 9:9).

6. Is betrayed by a close friend (Psalm 41:9).

7. Is sold for thirty pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12).

8. Is silent before His accusers (Isaiah 53:7).

9. Confirms the Abrahamic Covenant (Daniel 9:27).

10. Confirming the covenant, and atoning for sin, required the shedding of Blood (Leviticus 17:11; 1:5).

11. A sacrifice must be offered (must DIE) on Mount Moriah, in order to be Kosher (Genesis 22:2).

12. He is rejected by Israel (Isaiah 53:1-3; Psalm 118:22).

13. HIS HANDS AND FEET are PIERCED (PSALM 22:14-18).

14. HE WILL STILL HAVE VISIBLE WOUND marks ON HIS HANDS WHEN HE SHOWS UP ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES (ZECHARIAH 13:6).

15. Those wounds are inflicted to Him in "the house of His friends" (Zechariah 13:6).

16. He must be pierced (Zechariah 12:10).

17. Jews WILL MOURN AND LAMENT FOR HIM, WHOM "THEY HAVE PIERCED"  (Zechariah 12:10-14).

Have you ever meditated on that Scripture and ASKED YOURSELF WHY the LONG-AWAITED COMING of Messiah CAUSES Jewish MOURNING, INSTEAD OF Jewish REJOICING? 

18. Shortly after appearing, He has to die but FOR OTHERS, not for Himself (Daniel 9:26).

19. Messiah had to appear and die PRIOR TO 70 A.D (PRIOR to the Second Temple's destruction) (Daniel 9:26).

20. He had to appear 483 years AFTER a decree to "return and build Jerusalem (Daniel 9:25; Nehemiah 2:1).

21. He must appear TWICE, that's why the "70 sevens" are divided into TWO periods (Daniel 9:25).

22. He had to be REJECTED AND FORSAKEN of His own people.  This, in turn, caused the destruction of the Second Temple (1 Kings 9:8,9; Psalm 118:21,22; Isaiah 53:3).

23. Would be resurrected (Psalm 16:10; 49:15).

24. Would ascend to heaven (Psalm 68:18).

25. Would be declared the Son of God (Psalms 2:7).

Put it all together, precious Jewish soul...

If Jesus IS NOT the Messiah, then pray tell WHO IS?

"Who HAS ASCENDED UP INTO HEAVEN, AND DESCENDED? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his garment? Who HAS ESTABLISHED ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH? What is his name, and WHAT IS HIS SON'S NAME, if you know?" (Proverbs 30:4) (See also Psalm 2:7, 12)

GAMALIEL’S WISDOM

“Peter and the other apostles replied: “We MUST OBEY GOD RATHER THAN men! The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging Him on a cross.

God EXALTED HIM TO HIS OWN RIGHT HAND as Prince and Savior that He might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.

WE ARE WITNESSES OF THESE THINGS, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

When they heard this, they were furious and WANTED TO KILL THEM. But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while.

Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “MEN OF ISRAEL, CONSIDER CAREFULLY what you intend to do to these men.

Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and IT ALL CAME TO NOTHING.

After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and ALL HIS FOLLOWERS WERE SCATTERED.

Therefore, in the present case I advise you: LEAVE THESE MEN ALONE! Let them go!

For IF THEIR DOCTRINE IS OF HUMAN ORIGIN, IT WILL FAIL. BUT IF IT IS FROM GOD, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THESE MEN; you will only find yourselves FIGHTING AGAINST God.” (Acts 5:29-39)

Gamaliel the Elder is a well known historical figure mentioned not only in the VERY JEWISH Brit Hadashah (New Covenant) but also in the VERY JEWISH Talmud.

The Hebrew name Gamaliel means “God’s reward”.

Gamaliel was a much respected leader of the first century Great Sanhedrin in Jerusalem.

He held the titles of Nasi (Prince, President) and Rabban (our Master).

He was the son of Simeon Ben Hillel and grandson of the greatly esteemed Jewish teacher Hillel the Elder.

He had two sons, Simeon and Avivo, and a daughter married to a priest named Simon Ben Nathanael. (Avodah Zarah 3:10)

He died in 50 A.D., twenty years before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D.

He was considered an authority on the Sinai Law.

HIS REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE GREATEST TEACHERS in all the annals of Judaism is attested to in the Mishnah, which states:

"Since Rabban Gamaliel the Elder died, there has been no more reverence for the law, and purity and piety died out at the same time". (Sotah 15:18)

One of his favorite sayings was "for the benefit of humanity".

He is also mentioned in the Book of Acts as mentor and teacher of the Apostle Paul. (Acts 22:3)

Gamaliel made reference to two Messiah wannabes that showed up a bit before Jesus. They both gained followers, were killed, their respective followers quickly disbanded and their movements came to naught.

This is also supported by Josephus (Antiquities 18:1; 20.97-98)

Gamaliel told the Jewish authorities to leave Jesus’ apostles alone.

His wisdom convinced the other members of the Sanhedrin as well as other first century Jewish authorities:

“IF THEIR DOCTRINE IS OF HUMAN ORIGIN, IT WILL FAIL. BUT IF IT IS FROM GOD, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THESE MEN; you will only find yourselves FIGHTING AGAINST God.”

It should be noted that THE VERY NAME “Israel” means “one who FIGHTS AGAINST God” (Genesis 32:28).

If the Apostles’ teaching about Jesus was wrong, and JESUS HAD BEEN KILLED AND REMAINED DEAD like the other two “messiahs”, His followers would quickly disperse, the movement discredited, and NO ONE WOULD REMEMBER JESUS 20 OR 30 years later, as had been the case with FALSE MESSIAHS Theudas and Judas.

On the other hand, if Jesus’ GOOD NEWS indeed is FROM GOD – NOTHING and NO ONE would be able to stop it.

Those words were spoken IN THE FIRST CENTURY.

Here we are 20 CENTURIES (TWO THOUSAND YEARS) LATER.

And NOTHING and NO ONE has been able to STOP Jesus or His ETERNALLY SUPERIOR Message.

-      Because Jesus’ Good News IS FROM God.

-      Because His Brit Hadashah is FROM God. (Jeremiah 31:31-34)

-      Because Jesus Himself IS GOD. (Exodus 15:2; Isaiah 12:2; Psalm 118:14)

NO ONE COULD STOP him 2,000 years ago -- and NO ONE CAN STOP JESUS TODAY.

The VERY JEWISH Jesus has MORE FOLLOWERS TODAY, WHO WORSHIP HIM AS God, than AT ANY OTHER TIME IN HISTORY.

That Messianic movement that began with a humble carpenter, 11 uneducated fishermen and a disreputable tax collector, now encompasses THE WHOLE EARTH.

His Kingdom not only covers the entire world, it also RULES and RUNS THE UNIVERSE.

Dear Jewish soul, ARE YOU STILL FIGHTING AGAINST YOUR GOD?

Are you still WRESTLING AGAINST Yahweh and RESISTING His Spirit even after ONE OF THE GREATEST TEACHERS OF Torah in Jewish history, warned that if Jesus came from God NEITHER YOUR ANCESTORS, NOR ANYONE ELSE, would be able to stop Him?

When even the mighty Roman Empire COULDN’T STOP HIM?

And Lord knows THEY TRIED MERCILESSLY for 300 years!!!

Just look at THE 355 PROPHECIES in your own Tanach that Jesus – and ONLY JESUS – fulfilled.

Just look at ALL the Scriptures THAT ONLY JESUS CAN fulfill!

I know that traditional Jewish rabbis try to “explain them away”.

If it were 3 or 4 Scriptures, they might be able to cast SOME doubt on who the Messiah is:

But CAN 355 SCRIPTURES that Jesus PAINSTAKINGLY fulfilled be mere “coincidence”?

WHAT OTHER PERSON has ever, or COULD EVER fulfill them, as He did?

(We will examine them in the next message).

Please seek Yahweh WITH ALL YOUR HEART (Deuteronomy 30:6), and SINCERELY ASK Him WHO the Messiah is.

LET JESUS GROW

 

There are more reasons to care for the inner Christ, than just the fact He must grow, manifest in us, and replace this mortal lump of flesh with His immortal Self.

As TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT as that is, there is also a more practical and “selfish” reason for developing the inner Christ:

He has ALL AUTHORITY and ALL POWER both in heaven and ON earth. (Matthew 28:18)

Apart from Him, we can do NOTHING. (John 15:5)

At least, nothing worthwhile…

We receive SO MANY EMAILS from people with all kinds of “problems”, challenges and trials… and something they all have in common is that they usually feel pretty helpless about what they’re facing.

That’s because our carnal self is no match for the devil.

On the other hand, the devil is NO MATCH FOR the Jesus LIVING IN us. (1 John 4:4)

If we’re going to overcome what the creep throws our way, we can’t resist him IN THE FLESH, we HAVE TO RESIST HIM IN SPIRIT.

If we resist him, IN SPIRIT, he WILL FLEE. (James 4:7)

Provided WE DO SO IN THE INNER CHRIST.

That we take dominion, IN SPIRIT, over the situation and the spirit(s) behind it…

If you feel your life has gotten OUT OF CONTROL…

If you feel tossed to and fro by waves and negative currents of spiritual forces of darkness…

There’s ONE who OVERCOMES THEM, instantly.

And He is NOT “out there somewhere”: He LIVES INSIDE you.

Every time the devil shows his ugly fangs, LET THE INNER CHRIST deal with him.

Jesus already kicked his butt BIG TIME.

And he will do it again should the devil be SO STUPID as to even try to mix it up with the Omnipotent, ETERNAL Christ.

JESUS IS OUR VICTORY.

He is OUR SUCCESS in every endeavor.

Don’t squander THE BIGGEST BLESSING EVER of having the Creator Himself, the Savior Himself, INSIDE.

In the flesh we lose, in Christ we ALWAYS WIN.

The inner Jesus must be CARED FOR, CHERISHED, NOURISHED with the Word, and ALLOWED FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.

Do you want to overcome THAT SITUATION in your life?

Do you want to rise above THOSE obstacles?

Then FOCUS ON, and CARE FOR, the inner Jesus!

Pay attention to Him, feed Him regularly, and let Him GROW.

He has OVERCOME THE WORLD.

WHY JESUS HASN’T APPEARED

“Beloved, now are we the children of God...we KNOW THAT, WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is.” (1 John 3:2)

HOW do we manifest GOD’S LOVE?

If it is THE GREATEST commandment then it should be OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. (Matthew 6:33)

Love is NOT a thing.

Love is A PERSON.

That Person is Jesus.

Divine Love CANNOT be faked.

He CANNOT be learned.

He CAN’T even be taught.

Divine Love MUST BE EXPERIENCED.

Again: Divine Love (Jesus) MUST BE EXPERIENCED.

Then He must be ALLOWED TO GROW and DEVELOP IN us.

The only reason that Christians manifest ONLY “a little” Jesus – IF ANY JESUS AT ALL – is because WE HAVE NEVER FED the inner Christ or ALLOWED HIM TO GROW.

Most Christians, through religion, fear, and NEGLECT have nearly starved Him to death.

Consequently, He’s been nearly suffocated by the world and the flesh.

Were He (the INNER CHRIST) NOT God, He would have died.

But because He IS God, and because He overcame death, He lives FOREVER.

However, YOU DETERMINE HOW MUCH you ALLOW THAT INNER JESUS to grow.

My Bible says that inner Jesus MUST BE ALLOWED TO REACH the measure OF THE STATURE OF THE FULLNESS of Christ. (Ephesians 4:13; Galatians 4:19)

Jesus didn’t remain a little boy bouncing on Mary’s lap.

That would have been an anomaly.

He GREW in wisdom and stature and became A FULLY GROWN, FULLY DEVELOPED MAN. (Luke 2:52)

And neither should the INNER CHRIST that was born in you when you were born again.

That is WHY WE MUSN’T IGNORE the Christ within.

That is WHY He must be NURTURED and NOURISHED WITH the written Word.

After all He is the Word INCARNATE.

He became INCARNATE IN YOU, when you received Him into your heart, just like He became INCARNATE in Mary’s virginal womb.

Just like the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and made her CONCEIVE Jesus, He overshadowed us and MADE US CONCEIVE Him at the New Birth.

If you want JESUS to MANIFEST on the OUTSIDE, YOU MUST TAKE CARE OF HIM INSIDE.

Again: If you want JESUS to MANIFEST on the OUTSIDE, to others through you, YOU MUST FIRST TAKE CARE OF HIM INSIDE.

The Greatness and Perfection in Divine Love (Jesus) are SO INFINITELY GREAT that they CANNOT BE EXPRESSED in human words.

THEY/HE MUST BE EXPERIENCED.

And His Greatness, HIS GLORY, will swallow up these mortal bodies AND REPLACE THEM WITH HIS LIFE AND IMMORTALITY, if we ALLOW HIM TO DEVELOP.

There’s NO WAY of getting around this marvelous, ETERNAL Truth.

Jesus’ Love and Greatness SUPERSEDE EVERYTHING:

The Sinai Law, all the prophecies, human behavior (good or bad), religion, religious rituals, and impure Christianism, which is a TAINTED counterfeit of the true faith, and a FALSE, impure “gospel”.

They also SUPERCEDE EVERYONE, including us.

Jesus’ Love and Greatness OVERCOME all things.

Even DEATH! (1 Corinthians 15:50-55)

If they overcome DEATH, you know they/He also OVERCOMES ALL SIN, because sin is THE CAUSE OF death. (Romans 6:23)

Jesus’ Love is His Greatness.

Jesus’ Love is OUR VICTORY.

I’m asking myself this question, and I encourage every believer to ask it of himself or herself:

Do I really love Jesus with ALL of my heart?

Or am I holding back a portion of my heart that I have kept FROM Jesus?

IS THERE A PORTION OF MY HEART THAT I’M KEEPING “ALL to myself”.

WHATEVER we withhold from Jesus, we’re giving to satan, by DEFAULT.

Again: WHATEVER we WITHHOLD FROM Jesus, we’re giving to satan, by DEFAULT.

Jesus loved God (the Father, Himself, and His Creation) with ALL His heart: that is why He could CONFIDENTLY say “the devil has NOTHING in me”. (John 14:30)

When our hearts are FILLED with Divine Love, with God Himself, there’s NO ROOM ANYWHERE for the devil.

Hallelujah!

Take care of the INNER CHRIST, and He will TAKE CARE of you.

THE GREATEST

In Matthew 22:36-39 Jesus is challenged by a Pharisee about the Law of God.

The Pharisee ASKS HIM A DIRECT QUESTION:

“Which is THE GREATEST commandment?”

99.9% of Christians would have replied:

“Well, of course, it’s the FIRST of the 10 Commandments: Thou shall have no other gods before me”.

I know I would have…

But Jesus gave an answer that must have shaken the Pharisee – and those around hearing the exchange – to their core…

It was an UNEXPECTED answer:

The Pharisee had asked A DIRECT QUESTION:

And Jesus gave him A DIRECT ANSWER:

He quoted Deuteronomy 30:6:

“YOU WILL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART”:

And then He added that the SECOND greatest commandment was “like” the first:

"Love your neighbor AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF."

WHY is LOVING GOD WITH ALL our hearts THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT?

…Because God IS Love (1 John 4:16).

In order to fulfill that commandment you have to EXPERIENCE…God.

We CANNOT have such love towards God or towards others WITHOUT experiencing the living, eternal God because HE IS Love.

Therefore God (as in Jesus, God Incarnate) IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT there is. 

Therefore, RECEIVING JESUS (God) INTO OUR HEARTS, and LOVING/TRUSTING HIm completely IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT in the Torah. 

Jesus said that ALL THE LAW and THE PROPHETS hang ON THAT GREATEST COMMANDMENT" (Matthew 22:40). 

When we EXPERIENCE LOVE HIMSELF (Jesus) in our INNERMOST BEING... THERE'S NO LAW ANYWHERE against us. 

There's NO LAW, NO ONE AND NOTHING ANYWHERE THAT CAN CONDEMN US.

His love is NOT natural but SUPERNATURAL.

When we experience God’s Love (agape) we EXPERIENCE God because He is Love.

We cannot express such Love, without EXPERIENCING AND KNOWING God Himself.

Hence we CANNOT express nor have such Love UNLESS we are born-again.

When we experience God’s Love, we experience God, and BECOME LOVE HIMSELF, God Himself.

We acquire His Divine Nature (2 Peter 1:4).

We become PERFECTED in Love (God). (1 John 4:18)

We become One with His Infinite Greatness and Infinite Perfection.

By making that THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT, Jesus was saying:

I AM the Greatest, because I AM Divine Love and I want to BRING YOU UP TO MY LEVEL.

And if doing so requires MY GOING DOWN TO YOUR LEVEL, and suffering immensely, so I can BRING YOU UP TO MY Divinity, I AM willing to pay the price.

Jesus; Greatness (Divine Love) makes EVERYONE who receives Him GREAT.

God WANTS TO SHARE His GREATNESS, His LOVE, His own Divine Nature… WITH YOU! (Romans 5:5; 2 Peter 1:4)

Even the hyper legalistic Pharisee COULD FIND NO FAULT with Jesus’ answer. (Luke 10:28)

Even he had to ADMIT that Jesus’ answer was FLAWLESS.

It was PERFECT.

Because the Sinai Law has never been perfect, and will never make ANYONE perfect. (Hebrews  7:19;10:1)

The Sinai Law CANNOT regenerate human hearts.

It CANNOT produce the God Nature in ANYONE.

It CANNOT produce Divine Love (agape) which is the Royal Law of God’s Kingdom, and THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY (Psalm 19:7; James 1:25).

The Sinai Law HAS NEVER FULFILLED GOD’S ROYAL and SUPREME LAW: it never can and never will. (Romans 13:9-10)

But Divine Love (Jesus) CAN and DOES!!!

Perfection is found ONLY in God’s Love. 

SO IS SALVATION.

There is NOTHING and NO ONE greater than God.

There is NOTHING and NO ONE greater than Divine Love.

Are you SETTLING FOR LESSER commandments, and LESSER Law – which is A MERE SHADOW of the Royal Law of God’s Kingdom? (Hebrews 10:1)

Are you SETTLING FOR religion, for a set of “laws” and “commandments” and “religious rules” invented by man’s depraved imagination?

Are you settling for a MUCH LESSER “god” when you can EXPERIENCE the Greatest?

RAPTURE: THE DAY & THE HOUR

When anyone tries to teach, the APPROXIMATE time of the Rapture, based on Scripture...

They can COUNT ON some self-righteous person, full of religion, but far from Christ, parroting their religious mantra...

"No one knows the day or the hour..."

"No one knows the day or the hour..."

"No one knows the day or the hour..."

These people are the SAME HYPOCRITES that turn around and Google "rapture date" or "rapture December 10, 2014"

Last time I checked a "date" is A SPECIFIC DAY and SO IS "December 10".

But they MUST BE right: after all, they're quoting Scripture!

SATAN ALSO "QUOTED SCRIPTURE"...

TO JESUS, NO LESS! (Matthew 4:5-6)

Scripture is valid ONLY when quoted IN CONTEXT.

Repeat: Scripture is VALID ONLY when quoted IN CONTEXT.

Here's the EXACT QUOTE from Mark's Gospel:

"But of that day and that hour KNOWS no man, no, NOT THE ANGELS who are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Take heed, watch and pray: for you KNOW NOT when the time is." (Mark 13:32-33)

Jesus said "NO ONE KNOWS" (PRESENT TENSE)...

IN CONTEXT, He referred to individuals in the FIRST CENTURY A.D.

We're living in the 21st CENTURY A.D.

Here's WHAT JESUS DIDN'T SAY:

He NEVER SAID:

"NO ONE KNOWS AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW"

Yet that is how His statement is generally presented by the prophecy establishment and within evangelical Christianity.

In fact, WHEN THE RAPTURE finally TAKES PLACE, EVERYONE in heaven and earth WILL KNOW the PRECISE day and hour.

THE REASON that neither the human Jesus, nor the angels, NOR ANYONE but the Father knew BACK IN THE FIRST CENTURY A.D. IS BECAUSE JESUS HIMSELF HAD SEALED THAT KNOWLEDGE.

However, He DIDN'T SEAL SUCH KNOWLEDGE FOREVER.

He SEALED IT ONLY UNTIL "the time of the end".

He pointedly stated that, at the time of the end, KNOWLEDGE OF THESE THINGS WOULD INCREASE, and that "THE WISE WOULD UNDERSTAND". (Daniel 12:4, 10)

When the Rapture happens, ALL THE SEALS HAVE BEEN OPENED, EXCEPT THE 7TH SEAL WHICH IS THE 3½-YEAR TRIBULATION.

That means that, when it happens, KNOWLEDGE ABOUT IT, WILL HAVE BEEN UNSEALED (REVEALED).

We are living, RIGHT NOW, the FINAL MOMENTS OF the 5th SEAL (Revelation 6:9-11).

The Rapture takes place when the 6th seal is opened (Revelation 6:12; 7:9).

Time's almost up.... ARE YOU READY?

THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 2016

PENTECOST RAPTURE

Could the Rapture take place on Pentecost?

Keeping in mind that God is Almighty and can do anything…

And that He PREDETERMINED “the end” since “the beginning” (Isaiah 46:10)

…And that KNOWING WHEN and HOW this earthly experience will end, He told us certain things in Scripture…

And that He told us in Scripture that Jesus returns at the END OF 70 sabbatical “weeks” or shemittas… which END ON SUKKOT. (Daniel 7:24-25; Deuteronomy 31:10)

And that He told us Antichrist reigns for 42 months. (Revelation 13:5).

And that Antichrist doesn’t rise from the abyss until AFTER the Church is gone. (2 Thessalonians 2:6-8)

There’s NO WAY of getting 42 months from Pentecost OF A GIVEN YEAR to Sukkot 3½ years later.

There is ONLY ONE INSTANCE where you COULD get 42 months between these two Feasts. In order for that to happen, the first and third year of tribulation must be Hebrew leap years.

Problem is, even under that unlikely scenario, Antichrist would have ONLY 9 DAYS to reappear, take dominion, defeat Egypt and Turkey (Daniel 11:40-42), conquer Jerusalem and begin his reign.

I wouldn’t bet on it.

That is why the most likely time is somewhere between the end of Adar and mid-Nisan.

That is why we chose “Passover” as the absolute “deadline”.

This year Passover begins on the eve of April 22nd (tomorrow) on the rabbinic calendar and on the eve of April 23rd (Saturday) in the Karaite calendar.

It’s looking more and more like we’ll have AT LEAST ONE MORE YEAR on earth.

FIRST FRUITS RAPTURE?
