‘The bride is part of Israel and Israel is part of the bride!

The bride is part of Israel and Israel is part of the bride!

This is so clearly seen in the majestic vision by the angel in Revelation when he says: “Come I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal. It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. (Revelation 21:9-14; emphasis added)

This is actually entirely consistent with many other scriptural references which hold that in the end there will be only ONE FLOCK, ONE ISRAEL OF GOD, ONE BODY, ONE JERUSALEM, ONE BRIDE – Jew and Gentile forged into one Tree or Commonwealth of Israel.

Under the strong influence of the separation – which particularly Constantine, the Roman emperor, was responsible for – which cut the Gentile church off from its original Jewish tree and roots, Christianity became a separate, distinct religion. And even after the Reformation and various evangelical and charismatic awakenings, Gentile believers on the whole were taught that they belonged to a separate body called the church, or Bride of Christ. that would one day be separately treated with a heavenly rapture before the Lord in His mercy returns to Israel.

This, however, is NOT what the Bible teaches, and certainly in this wonderful passage in The Revelation we unmistakably find that Israel – all the tribes of Israel -are seen as part of the bride or the heavenly Jerusalem.

An ICZC Commentary:
By freeing Marwan Barghouti with all the other Hamas and Fatah prisoners, Israel will cause the only man charismatic enough to be able to do so to unite the Palestinian people – Fatah and Hamas into one.

Hamas will become the controlling factor in all upcoming negotiations with Israel, and will possibly also be the winner in future elections among the Arabs in Judea and Samaria.

The formerly-held red line – “no release of prisoners directly involved with the murder of Israeli citizens” – will have been crossed, stimulating suicide and other terrorists to widen their activity, especially in the kidnapping of any Israeli they may be able to capture.

God sacrificed His only begotten Son to save the world. (For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…)

Noam Schalit understandably loves his son so much; he is apparently willing to sacrifice some of the best interests of his own people and nation in order to save Gilad from his torturous ordeal.

When I read in The Jerusalem Post (July 22) the dangerous and ridiculous words of Debra DeLee, the President and CEO of Americans for Peace Now; knowing that she has a willing ally in White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel who is also a strong supporter of Peace Now’s self-destructive folly: I realize that the ancient verse: “Your destroyers will come out of your own midst” is dangerously true of the reality today.

This is what DeLee dares write in her Obama-supporting article:

We at Americans for Peace Now, and our friends at Israel’s Peace Now movement, believe that for the sake of its security, stability and long-term wellbeing, Israel should immediately reverse the settlement enterprise. And now, particularly now, instead of seeking “shticks and tricks” to evade a settlement freeze-in the words of New York Congressman Gary Ackerman, a staunch friend of Israel-Netanyahu should do whatever it takes to take advantage of the opportunity that Obama proposes
Obviously, the Palestinians should take steps to show that they are serious about peace negotiations and Arab governments should do their part to support peace efforts, and the president is pushing on these fronts. But what the Arabs do or not do doesn’t change what Israel should do

Yes, everyone wants peace, and there has probably never been a time when so many false messiahs and so-called peacemakers have come to the front of the stage, proclaiming the change towards a new world order in which all humans will be treated fairly and with equality. Who would not want such a world?

Barack Hussein Obama is doing this masterfully, reaching out to all religions, to the young and the old, the poor and the rich. ‘No more walls of separation and discrimination,’ he promised the crowds that gathered to hear him in Berlin, and thus he has continued, stretching out his hand to the whole Muslim world in Cairo, and later standing with the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, and Eli Wiesel at the horrendous site of Buchenwald, to proclaim that what was done there is not the way human beings should act. In his speech, Wiesel asked the question: has the world of today really changed and learned this lesson? Of course not.

I cannot believe that a nation endowed with so much intelligence can be so self-destructive. Listening – as I do – to all the debates about which is the best way for Israel to go at this time, I am amazed at the utter idiocy of the solutions proposed by both the Gentile powers as well as some Israeli politicians.

What is the reason? How can a nation endowed by the Creator with so much intelligence be blind to what is so clear for any person who has the honesty to face the truth to see?

Let’s begin with the unintelligent notion of the two state solution being peddled so hard now via George Mitchell in the name of the new Obama administration. Wasn’t this notion tried – for almost three years! – under the leadership of Ehud Olmert’s government, which often demonstrated its willingness to give the Arabs about 97% of the so-called occupied territories? And it failed in spite of Olmert’s unbelievable willingness to make painful, very painful sacrifices.

That in mid-May, 2009, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appealed to the United States to make a priority of stopping Iran from pursuing the nuclear bomb that threatens Israel’s existence.

That the Obama administration refused.

And that just over one week later, America was standing on the edge of a potential nuclear conflict with North Korea, which test-fired an atomic warhead and launched a handful of surface-to-surface missiles in a defiant show of force.

ABOVE THE MURAL OF ANNUNCIATION
by Barry Chamish

The pope had a lousy time in Israel. The plans for Pres. Peres to hand him sovereignty over six places in the land were shattered thanks, in no small part, to my longterm readers like Dr. Daisy Stern, Bob Kunst and Prof. Hillel Weiss. They successfully informed the Israeli public of Peres’ Vatican perfidy. And as for the Peres/Papal land seizure, curses, foiled again! The pope was plenty ticked by his disappointment and immediately blamed Israel for his crummy tour:

Vatican seeks answers for low turnout for pope’s Jerusalem mass

Roman Catholic Church officials say they would like an explanation from Israel for the poor turnout at Pope Benedict XVI’s open-air mass in Jerusalem last week.
Monsignor Antonio Franco, the papal nuncio in the Holy Land, said Thursday that church officials are still trying to figure out what happened. He says he’s received reports that worshipers with tickets were turned away at the entrance while others received their tickets too late. Some 5,000 worshippers expected at the May 12 mass next to the Garden of Gethsemane but no more than 3,000 people arrived. (Reuters)

WIBR/WARN site Note: This is here to keep you informed in what is going on. This from a Messianic Jew, Named Jerry Golden and gives what is going on directly from Israel.

As Israel prepares for what could be an attack or a counter attack from Iran, one thing remains certain, we here in Israel are certainly preparing for war. With constant preparations of our missile defense systems the Arrow anti-missile, the THAAD and something I believe to be new for Israel the AEGIS. The IDF, IAF and Reserves are training every week now for different types of seniors. It is now known that Iran has the capabilities of sending split warheads, and a large barrage of missiles at one time. With the new radar bases set up in Israel it is possible to have several minutes of warning after Iran launches the first missile.

WHY THE HOLOCAUST?

Again and again, I hear people who are questioned about the holocaust say that there is no explanation for this terrible tragedy, which befell the Jewish people at the end of nearly 2000 years dispersion. How could God have allowed it? What was the reason and how can one still believe in a God Who apparently allowed such a disaster of such magnitude including the massacre of 1 ½ million children to take place in “christianised Europe.”

First of all, let me hereby state that the Holocaust was prophesied about in the scriptures. That a terrible, terrible disaster would happen to the Jewish people just before they would return to their own land.

In Ezekiel we read the following verses:

The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.
Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry.
Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’
Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves.
I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord. (37:1,2,11-14)

As in the Early Church, what did they do and keep?
written and compiled from other sources by the Watchman Dana G Smith Is 21:6

We cover the Sabbath, the commandments, and the feasts in this newsletter today. I do this to show scripture relating to this. There will be those who will argue, seek to tell you this is law, which it is not! Many today in the church, including Pastors, theologians, and others are ignorant do not know what they speak. Many follow church theology and doctrine passed down for centuries. They have added to it just as the Jews added to the law and made the Word of God of Non-effect by their traditions of men!

We find the book of Revelation talking about the children of God keeping the Commandments of God, the faith and testimony of Jesus! Even in the last book o of the bible we find commandments, faith, and testimony of Jesus Christ!
