“The Testimony and Evidence that Makes a Believer a Believer”

By The Watchman
Dana G Smith

“John 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.”

I like the Gospel of John. In this book the Holy Ghost witnesses to the truth of the Son of God. It pulls no punches and literally declares that the Father sent his only begotten Son into the World. Called the “Lamb of God” by John the Baptist in Chapter one, which refers to the ‘consolation of Israel’ many devout Jews were waiting for. When this arrived, many had been waiting for him and yet, many others did not even recognize him. God was doing a work and those who tried to figure this out by mans wisdom or by mans spirit within them, could not. This could only be discerned and known through God by the Holy Ghost.

“For Zion’s Sake,
She shall not be empty,
But I shall Fill her,
Yea, with the redeemed of the L-RD,
I the L-RD, mighty to Save,
Full of mercy to those
Who seek me in truth”

Zion in the time of David, the prophets, and in Christian times, was known as Jerusalem, the City of David. In 2 Samuel scripture says in verse seven “David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.” Zion is Jerusalem, to many today who look for it to be a city of righteousness in the earth. There is ‘Secular Zionism’ which seeks a secular institution of which the same name is derived. These Secular Zionists push to reign in governmental form in the earth and established their own idea of Zion and not the Lords.

How Shall Israel Believe?
By the Watchman Dana G Smith

“Speaking of the end times, Israel, the believers, being united in one in Christ, this article speaks to the saving of Israel, and the time of the end. It cannot cover all prophetic events that will occur. This is only an overview of Israel, Ephraim, Believers, and the scriptures describing these times. It is just a beginning for you to take the task of studying further.”

Here where we live snow is moving in around us, Halloween is here, winter is almost here, leaves are on the ground with some still in trees. The fall harvest is gone and the feasts over. Soon we will gather up all the leaves and put them in a pile for destruction.

All the above are signs of the changing seasons, so too, Signs are all around us at the ‘changing times’ which are here. The time line of the LORD continues and for his glory alone do nations and peoples exist.

Thus, the ‘Moral Standards’ of the LORD God for all men, nations, and peoples have been issued since the beginning of time and the creation of man. Soon, these ‘moral standards’ will be there amidst the sons of men and they will be summoned to the Throne of Judgment at the Last Time.
But these standards are those decree’s of The LORD that govern nations and men. At some point they may violate what God allows and thus his judgment falls upon them.

* Be certain, nations will be judged
* Be certain, people will be judged
* Be certain, the church will be judged

Thus we have concluded that all under sin and must agree with scripture which sayeth:

Romans 3:9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

It is this which we believe to the ‘saving of the soul’ found in Hebrews chapter ten and verse thirty-nine which we do hold to. It is why our Father, sent his son, Jesus Christ, that is, to save the world. For by ‘wisdom the world knew not God’ 1Cor 1:21 and it is that which we labor, to bring those who think they know truth and wisdom, but don’t, the real truth.

The Apostle Paul lets us in on wisdom concerning this. In order to believe in the Messiah Yeshua, Jesus Christ the Jews require a sign. When you go to a Jew, a supernatural sign is what would convince them. The Gentiles or Greeks, however, require wisdom. A person can work to prove with scripture and historical facts the authenticity of Christ Jesus. Thus they would believe. Of course in this, there are those who will not believe no matter what. Add to that that some of either persuasion may feel led to require more to believe.

1 Corinthians 1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
