Can you feel the heat building up
all around the world?
It's purpose? A means to completing the selection of the remainder of the
"one new man" ("single new humanity") and the refinement of
the bride of the Lamb of YHVH.
The Almighty will use unexpected natural and national incidents (like Australia's forest fires & Argentina's economic meltdown) to further develop His program of separation of tares and wheat; goats and sheep; and the pruning of the bride.
There are only two 'places' to be found: in the Babylonian 'Titanic'; or in Zion's 'Ark'. Only the 'Ark' of Zion will ride out the storm that's brewing.
"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!...Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three..."It's going to be hot"..." [Luke 12:49-56].
How do we know that it's the time of separation? The budding of Israel (1948) capped by restoration of Jerusalem to Israel (1967) and her jubilee (1998) and the accelerated second return of Jews to Zion, together with unprecedented moral decay of nations, marks the time [Is 54:5-10; Mat 24:24:36-51].
What is Zion's 'Ark.' It's the narrow path and the small gate. It's built on the foundation of Yeshua the Messiah. It's the redeemed of the house of Jacob (the inheritors of Zion) and their Messiah (Who will reign over and through them - Luke 1:31-33) and all those believers in the Gentiles/nations, who are properly joined to them through their Israelite covenants. Not those paying lip service to Zion. Those irrevocably committed to partnering with the Spirit of God to be a Yeshua salvation rescue blessing to Zion.
As the cup of the nations' sin fills to overflowing, there is no greater truth than this:
a) that Yeshua the Messiah died to ratify and enhance the everlasting covenant made with the houses of Judah and Israel, in order to make it possible for salvation to be brought to the ends of the earth, for the benefit of the Gentiles/nations [Gen 12:3/Deut 26:18,19/Ps 105:8-11/Is 53: 8/Jer 31:31-33/Zech 9:11/Luke 22:20/Ro 15:8,9]. In this way, His being sent to Israel, ensured that the love of God also permeated the non-Jewish world [John 3:16] so that believers in the Gentiles/nations become Israel's inheritance in Yeshua the Messiah!! [Is 14:1,2; Ps 47; Eph 2:11,12].
and b) that any nation that does not also serve the eternal and temporal interests of the house of Jacob (the firstborn, servant nation, whom YHVH has not rejected - Is 41:8-16; Ro 11:1,23-31) will perish, even to the point of destruction [Is 60:12].
Any believer or local church that does not demonstrate that it is gathered to, joined to and united with the redeemed remnant of the house of Jacob [Is 14:1,2; 49:5,6; 56:3,6-8; Zech 2:10-12; Eph 2:11-19; Ro 11:16-24], repudiates its own adoption and sets the new birth at nought. It remains outside the 'Ark.' No one can claim salvation in Yeshua the Messiah while remaining separated from His chosen family.
If we're not with God's "firstborn son, Israel" [Ex 4:22,23], we're against His only begotten Son, Yeshua/Jesus [Mat 3:15-17].
What is the Babylonian 'Titanic' - it's a 'ship' of "fools"...the counterfeit Israel. Jer 4:22 is an apt description of her deceived 'passengers' - "My people are fools; they do not know Me. They are senseless children; they have no understanding..." It's that part of the church that claims to have superceded physical Israel - the "synagogue of satan"...those who in their ignorance and spiritual conceit try to 'trash' the destiny of true Yeshua bloodwashed Jews, yet who will be made to lick the dust at Israel's feet! [Rev 3:9/Micah 7:8-20/Is 49:23]. It's the part of the church that claims that Israel is no different from the nations - that it has no special destiny...no distinct purpose in election. It's the part of the church that rejects Luke 1:33 and 2:32b (Messiah Yeshua's Rulership over the house of Jacob; and the glory returning to the redeemed, physical nation of Israel) and Ro 3:1-4/Is 61:7 (the Jews' double portion) and that rejects the irrevocable gifting and calling of God's Jewish believers, in Yeshua, and their physical nation as head of the Gentiles/foremost nation [Jer 31:7/Ezek 39:25-29/Ro 11:28,29]. It is the part of the church that contemptuously dismisses the sacred counsels on Israel as mere 'Israel theology'; and that somewhat arrogantly claims to be in the river of life, having no sense of accountability to the Most High to also help tend His own nation (the adopting/host family) in its growing distress [Is 51:4; Jer 30:7].
Yet Scripture declares that "there is a river whose streams make glad the City of God (Jerusalem), the holy place (Zion) where the Most High dwells [eg 2 Chr 6:6; Ps 46:4; 132:12-18; Jer 31:714,27,28,36,37; 33:14-26; Ezek 43:1-7; Zech 8:1-3].
Any local church that is not honouring its Divine debt to the Jewish people [Gen 12:2,3; Deut 32:43; Is 40:1,2; 49:22; 62:11; Ro 1:16; 11:31; 15:27; 2 Cor 8 & 9 etc] and their nation (to make them rejoice by blessing them with the Good News of Yeshua the Messiah and by excelling in the grace of supporting Israel evangelism servants and giving to Israel's persecuted believers), is doing the opposite!
Any nation that opposes the will of God for Israel and her people, is a "traitor" to the Divine plan of God for the nations [Ps 59:5,13]; since anything that hinders the security and "blossoming" of Israel in its as-yet-incomplete national destiny as a Yeshua salvation light to the nations, hinders peace and prosperity in the world at large [Gen 12:2,3; Is 27:6].
Instead of praying for revival, do a reality check in the Word. Submit to its discipline, if Yeshua is truly your Lord. In this way, great reward will be yours [Ps 19:7-11]. Which 'ship' have you boarded? Revival on the 'Titanic' will be of no avail! Don't be duped by 'Titanic' lies any longer. Don't be fooled by the prosperity aboard this doomed spiritual 'platform.' Heed Rev 3:7-22.
It's not too late to join the relatively few ("few find it" - Mat 7:14) who are making the Jewish Messiah Yeshua and the 'Ark' of the full counsel of God's Word (which inevitably leads you into fellowship with Zion), their complete covering. Only they will withstand the heat. Only they will weather the storms [Rev 3:10]. Because only they will have built on the true apostolic foundation.
If you're not in Zion's 'Ark' you won't prosper when she rises to her predestined position of pre-eminence in the eternal blood covenant [Ps 106:4,5; Is 66:10-14; Micah 7:8].
