DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE GOD OF THE BIBLE!!!

Over 2500 years ago, God showed Ezekiel things which would take place at the “Time of the End” or as Ezekiel 38:8 says   “After many days  ……  In the latter years”.   In Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 God gives a detailed account of what is going to happen at the end of the age.   This account is widely known as  “The Gog, Magog War”

For many years the wise of this world have scoffed at this prophecy, stating correctly that Russia and Iran have always been enemies, and again, Russia and Turkey have always been enemies, Russia being a Christian nation and Iran and Turkey being Moslem nations.   And again correctly, they stated that Iran and Turkey have always been enemies, Iran being Shiite Moslem and Turkey being Sufi, which is an offshoot of the Sunni Moslem.

It will never happen they said.   But the improbable happened, and in 1994 Russia became involved with helping Iran to complete the building of the nuclear power station at Bushehr, which had been started by the Germans before the Iran Revolution in 1979, and what developed over the years was a case of your enemies will become my enemies, as both Russia and Iran were enemies of the Western nations.

Under Erdogan’s leadership, Turkey became more and more radically aligned with Israel’s enemies, becoming a more hard line Islamist nation; and then just a couple of years ago the impossible happened, Turkey shot down a Russian plane, very nearly starting a war between Turkey and Russia, but Turkey appeased Russia by purchasing military weapons, including defence missiles etc. against the advice of the USA, causing a rift between the US and Turkey, and again your enemy will be my enemy.

Not long after that Erdogan again saw an opportunity to further his ambitions, by helping Iran and Russia in the Syrian war against ISIS, but Erdogan included the Kurdish forces who were helping the US to defeat ISIS on the Turkish / Syrian border, so now they saw the US as helping their enemies so Turkey became friends with Iran, and the God of the Bible had most of the large, powerful and important participants named in the prophecy surrounding Northern Israel, exactly as he had foretold.

Well, guess who was next, another well known country named in the prophecy is Libya, and Turkey has just sent troops and other assistance to Libya, another Moslem country to help fight against the rebels led by Libyan General Khalifa Haftar who is trying to unseat the current UN appointed President.

Many of the other nations named (many of whom have changed the name of their country, (e.g. Persia is now Iran), and all of whom are Moslem, have already sent fighters to Syria to fight for ISIS, these fighters will join in the Gog / Magog war from the south of Israel in the Sinai Peninsular in Egypt.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE GOD OF THE BIBLE!!!

The Gog / Magog war has been heating up slowly on the back burner now for a number of years, as all the participants slowly take their place as it is recorded in God’s word.    The pot is now simmering, and the result of the assassination of Iran’s top General in the article below has seen a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, which could very well see the pot boil over, possibly sooner rather than later, who knows.Red Flag Raised Over Messianic Mosque

As for who General Qasem Soleimani was and what he was responsible for, see the full article at :-   http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-50980093

The following is an excerpt taken from the article.   “Next to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Qasem Soleimani was arguably the most powerful figure in the Islamic republic.    He was widely considered an architect of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s war against rebels in Syria, the rise of pro-Iranian paramilitaries in Iraq, the fight against the Islamic State group, and many battles beyond”.

Beside him in the vehicle was Iran’s top IRAQI SHIITE COMMANDER    See the full article at :-  http://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Who-was-Abu-Mahdi-al-Muhandis-killed-in-US-airstrike-with-Soleimani-613268    “Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who not only founded Kataib Hezbollah, but transformed the paramilitary Popular Mobilization Unit into an official force capable of projecting power throughout Iraq and into Syria”.

“IRGC Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi militia commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, along with at least 10 others, were killed in an attack by US forces in Baghdad on Friday morning Israel time, according to reports confirmed by the Pentagon and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC)”.    See the full article at :-    Qasem Soleimani

“A chilling sight appeared on Sunday as a red flag, symbolizing a call for vengeance, appeared over the Holy Dome Jamkarān Mosque in Qom, Iran. The call has end-of-days significance as the mosque is dedicated to the “Final Imam” the Shiite Muslims believe is the Mahdi, the messianic figure that will appear alongside Isa, the Muslim Jesus, killing all the infidels in order to prepare the world for the ultimate arrival of the Messiah.”   See the full article at :- 

Iran Raises Red Flag Over ‘Messianic Mosque’ Declaring ‘End-of-Days’ War’ for First Time Ever     In the same article we read  “This red flag is a call for the deaths of anyone who opposes Shiite Islam, equating anyone today with the killers of Husayn in 680 CE. This is a global call to all of Shia for what they see as an eternal and neverending conflict.”

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Saturday that the United States is targeting 52 “important” Iranian sites, representing the 52 U.S. hostages held hostage in Iran for 444 days in the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, and will strike “very fast and very hard” if Tehran attacks the United States or its assets.   See the full article at :-     Trump Threatens to hit 52 ‘Important’ Iranian Targets if Iran Retaliates

President Trump   “speaking to reporters on Air Force One said “we’re not leaving” unless Iraq “pays us back” for a US air base built in Iraq.

“We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that’s there. It cost billions of dollars to build. Long before my time. We’re not leaving unless they pay us back for it.” Trump told the AF1 reporter pool.

That, however, wasn’t enough, and Trump also made it clear that that in addition to billions in reimbursements, unless the US left on a “very friendly basis”, the US would hit Iraq with “very big” sanctions like “they’ve never seen before ever.”

“If they do ask us to leave, if we don’t do it in a very friendly basis. We will charge them sanctions like they’ve never seen before ever. It’ll make Iranian sanctions look somewhat tame.”   See the full article at :-     Trump Says “US Will Not Leave” Iraq Unless Billions For Air Base Are Repaid, Threatens Baghdad With “Very Big” Sanctions

It is well known Shiite End Time Theology that their Messiah will not return until there is massive warfare and world wide chaos on earth.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/09/radical-islam-iran-isis-apocalytpic-messiah-mahdi/    See quotes from 2015 from this site below:-

“What’s more, both (Iran and ISIS) believe that the Mahdi will come only when the world is engulfed in chaos and carnage. They openly vow not simply to attack but to annihilate the United States and Israel. Iran and ISIS are both eager to hasten the coming of the Mahdi. Both believe that the Day of Judgment is coming soon, when they will be either rewarded for their actions or condemned to hell for eternity.”

“Jordan’s King Abdullah II, a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad, candidly admits that the West is engaged in a “third world war” against Islamic terrorism. Abdullah adds that, at its core, “this is a Muslim problem. We need to take ownership of this. We need to stand up and say what is right and what is wrong.”  

King Abdullah II later goes on to state  “the “battle” to establish the Mahdi’s kingdom “will only end when the [Islamic] society can get rid of the oppressors’ front, with America at the head of it.”      As recently as July 18, 2015 — just four days after President Obama hailed his nuclear deal with Iran as a great achievement for world peace and security — Khamenei publicly reaffirmed Iran’s long-standing policy of destroying the U.S. and Israel”

All emphases in the above quotes are mine.

I could go on and on, books have been written about this subject by Joel Rosenberg,  Avi Lipkin,  Dr Mark A Gabriel, and others authors who have studied “Radical Islam”  or have converted from Islam to Christianity.    These writers lay out the plans Iran and the many other Radical Islamist nations, are currently working toward, and that is “TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION” by Islam, and death to all who refuse to convert to Islam.

The Radical Islamists have never made a secret of this ambition.  However we must remember that most Moslems are lovely and loving people, this is being proved by the thousands of Moslems, who after the ISIS rampage are leaving Islam and converting to Christianity in the Middle East at present.     Also, the Christian Church in Iran is the fastest growing church in the world.

Further proof that not all Moslems are radicals is seen in the number of Moslem people, old and young, raped, tortured and murdered by Moslem radicals.   Moslem Radicals and Islamic Regimes kill FAR FAR more Moslem believers than are killed by Non Moslem armies or Christian people around the world.

It has been said that only 10% of all Moslems are radicals, and I would agree with that.    As in Christianity you have many Christians who are more secular than they are Christian, I believe the same to be true in Islam; however 10% of the 1.8 billion Moslem population still comes to 180,000,000 people.

If you have 180,000,000 radicals prepared to rape, plunder, torture, murder and destroy, as we see daily happening with ISIS,  Al Shabab,   Boko Haram,  Al Qaeda,  The Syrian Gov’t,   Hamas,  Hezbollah,  and when they are in power,  “The Muslim Brotherhood”,  as was seen in Egypt under President Mohamed Morsi, you will understand just how much death, destruction, cruelty and chaos could be caused by one hundred and eighty million of them!!!

Speaking for myself, during my several visits to the various Perth hospitals over the past three years, I can say that I have had the best treatment you could ask for from all of the staff in all of the hospitals, and in speaking with a number of them I have discovered that they are committed Moslem believers, and you can tell that many of the female staff are also obviously Moslem because of their Moslem attire, and I can honestly say that they were exceptionally kind caring and thoughtful.

There is however only one way to eternal life, for any person on earth, and that is by believing that Jesus Christ is God’s son, and He came from heaven to die for OUR SINS, and that He was raised to life again to prove His offering for our sins had been accepted, and that He is now back in heaven with His father.   Only by believing this and by obeying His teachings, and turning away from our ungodly way of life to follow His ways, can anyone have salvation and eternal life.

Now as I have stated earlier, regarding the assassination of General Soleimani,  we will have to wait and see what the final outcome of his assassination will be, and that may take several weeks, or even months, as they await their moment.    Some believe it will probably not be until the 11th February when they celebrate the Anniversary of the Iranian Revolution.  In the mean time there will doubtless be a few small incidents here and there, especially over the next few weeks, just to remind us that they have not forgotten nor forgiven.

But we can see from what is happening, that “The God of The Bible“ is not to be taken lightly, what He has said will come to pass in its time, and the Gog / Magog war will herald the close of this age, and a new age will be ushered in by King Jesus some time later when He returns to the earth with His Bride/Church/Saints to rule and reign over all the earth.     Keep looking up!

God Bless.

Christian’s Antichrist is Moslem’s Mahdi. (Messiah)

Following on from my last post which showed conclusively that Jews and Christians do NOT worship the same “God” as Islam, as some would have us to believe, the following facts will show you that the Christian’s Antichrist, is in fact, the Moslem’s Mahdi. (“Messiah”)

The Anti-Christ and the Mahdi:-

Both hate all Christians and murder them.

Both hate all Jews and try to annihilate them.

Both deny the Trinity and the Cross.

Both deny the Father and the Son.

Both suffer a fatal “Head Wound”.

Both claim to be Messiah.

Both attempt to change the law.

Both work false miracles.

Both practise beheading.

Both usher in a seven year peace treaty.

Both break seven year treaty after 3½ years.

Both desire to take The Land of Israel from the Jews.

Both practise war to gain booty.

Both distribute booty to their followers.

Both blaspheme Jehovah God.

Both deny women’s rights.

Both honour a god of war.

Both honour their god with silver and gold.

Both condone rape.

Both lead a Turkish-Iranian invasion against Israel.

Both occupy the Temple Mount.

Both desecrate the Temple in Jerusalem.

Both deceive and destroy by peace.

No doubt I have missed quite a few, but I think there are enough here to prove my point.     Any person who knows their Bible well and has also read the Quran, and understands that where there are contradictions in the Quran, it is because Mohammed had a change of revelation from Allah, and Allah changed his mind quite often, so the rule in Islam is that the latest revelation from Allah is the one that must be followed.     This has led to arguments between hard line Islamists and more moderate Islamists.    The moderate Islamist will argue that both rulings are valid, but that they would apply under different circumstances.

I have two copies of the Quran, one of them is a modern day translation, which I believe was written by a moderate Moslem, as a lot of the original language has been modified for “Western” consumption when translating it into modern day English, so the result does not sound anywhere near as radical or as dangerous or as offensive as Mohammed’s original version.     They tell us that the whole world could have peace tomorrow if everybody on earth would convert to Islam.

The other Quran I have is a very old version, which paints the true picture of Islam, this is the original Quran as dictated by Mohammed, and this is the Quran which ISIS, Al-Qaida, The Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, and every other Jihadi group and hard line Islamist swears is the true form of Islam.    This is the Quran which is used by ALL Moslems.   This Quran makes NO SECRET of the fact, every person on earth must convert to Islam, or die.     They say that only when every person on earth is a true Moslem can the world have true and lasting peace.

Worldwide peace?  I seriously question that.    You only have to look at Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, or any other Moslem country, and you will see strife and murder and mayhem between the different sects.    I listened to an English speaking member of ISIS on You Tube, and he was a Sunni, and he was violent in his hatred of the Shiite sect, and he promised that when they had finished in Syria, they would wipe out Israel and the USA first, then they were going after the Shiites in Iran, Lebanon Yemen etc. to completely wipe out the Shiite sect.

I would not want to be a woman in Islam, as females are lower class beings than males, and are subject in all things to males, even to the clothing the must wear.   The way that Mohammed mistreated women and girls, raped his enemy’s wives and daughters, married children under ten years old and had many different wives is all common knowledge.  I do not need to elaborate on that, but I make the note that all followers of Islam are commanded to obey Mohammed!   That means that the men are the same today as Mohammed was back then, and the women and children today suffer the same as they did back then.    I have also read how the Quran says females and children can be treated by their husband / father, or their owners in the case of slaves, etc. and it is not pretty.

So where the Bible teaches us that when we are in Christ Jesus, there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female, bond nor free because we are all totally equal, in Islam it is the absolute opposite.   Females are slaves, members of a different sect are you enemy, and the men have complete dominion over females and children.

As with my previous post that Allah and Jehovah God are not the same entity but are complete opposites in every way, my conclusion is that the Muslim Mahdi fits the Christian Anti-Christ in every detail, and there can be absolutely no doubt about it.

Anti-Christ will be the leader of a ten nation confederacy of Islamic countries.

EXCITEMENT MOUNTS!!!

As the return of Messiah draws ever closer, excitement among the true and committed followers of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, mounts all over the world.   I will put a few comments on for you to consider.    What I see in these comments is the fact that those people whom the world labels “Radicals”, are in fact, simply the ones who are excited about the return of their “Messiah” be that Messiah, :-  Ha Mashiach for the Jews,  –  Jesus Christ for the Christians, or Imam Mahdi for the Islamists.  

Any person who is a true believer and a committed follower of the Torah and the Tanach for the Jews, or of the Bible for the Christians, or of the Quran (Koran) for the Islamists (Moslems) today, is classified as either a fundamentalist bigot, or a terrorist or both, by the secular followers of these religions, and by the unbelievers of the world, be they World Leaders, Main Stream Media, or just the religiously and spiritually ignorant people of the world.

HOWEVER, it has been estimated that well over 75% of all Jews, Christians, and Moslems today do not believe their own Holy Scriptures to be true or accurate.  Over 75% of Jews today are secular, over 75% of all those who call themselves Christians, are not “True Born Again Christians” but are only “Nominal” or secular Christians, who do not believe many of the “Main Bible Doctrines” such as the “Virgin Birth”, the “Incarnation”, etc. and over 75% of Moslems do not believe what the Quran teaches in regard to “Jihad”, as many have never ever read the whole of the Quran.   The World calls these Moslems – “Moderates”

For Christians, :- Read about the falling away of the Christians at the end of the age at :-  Modern Day “Pastors” Or False Teachers Of The Last Days?     John Shuck is an ordained Presbyterian minister who has come forward to admit that he does not believe in God.      Shuck has gone even further, to the point where he denies the Incarnation; that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh.     Shuck goes even further still saying that “God is a symbol of myth-making and not credible as a supernatural being or force,”

Rev. Andrew Frater of Cairns Church in Scotland has openly been critical of Christians who have the audacity to believe the Bible when it talks about Jesus being virgin-born.    Shortly before Christmas last year, Scotland’s Herald reported that Frater said Christians need to “move on from the ‘fanciful fairy tale’ Nativity story and ‘disentangle the truth from the tinsel.” He said Christians need, instead, to “look for the symbolism in the Nativity,” and that the virgin birth leaves people hung up.”
A 1998 poll of 7,441 Protestant clergy in the U.S. show that Fraters beliefs are far from being a fringe belief. Among those who deny the virgin birth in various denominations are:      American Lutherans, 19 percent,   American Baptists, 34 percent,  Episcopalians, (Anglicans) 44 percent,  Presbyterians, 49 percent,  Methodists, 60 percent.
NOTE —  this survey was done 17 – 18 years ago.     Since this survey was taken, there have been many scriptural teachings denied by the modern churches, such as God’s hate of homosexual sin, which caused Him to totally destroy Sodom and Gomorrah.      YES – God loves the Homosexual person and will forgive their sin the same as He does all sinners who REPENT of their sin and turn away from their sin.     NO REPENTANCE – NO FORGIVENESS, even if it is only lies or stealing.     What about gay marriage?   Many secular churches have embraced this debacle of a man made law, and placed it above the God given ordinance of marriage as recorded in scripture, and along with Homosexuality it has become the norm for today in many churches.  Obviously the two go hand in hand.
The BIBLE teaches,   “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever”  and “God is NOT  a man that He should lie about these teachings, nor the son of a man that He should change His mind.”    I fear for the hundreds of millions of secular “semi believers” in the Churches today, and I pray that they will turn away from their unbelief and backsliding, and return to faith in God’s word, and to true repentance in their hearts before it is too late.    Time for this world, is rapidly running out as the age of God’s Grace comes to a close.   I believe that the falling away spoken of in 2 Thessalonians 2:3   2Th 2:3  Don’t be fooled by anything they might say, for the day of the Lord will not come until the turning away from God happens.   I believe the great turning away from God began in Western Nations with the “God is dead” heresy of evolution, and also with the licence to murder unborn children.

For Islam read :-  Daily Sabah reported.     Iran Preparing For Armageddon? Islamic Republic Backs Shiites In Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan And Yemen.        There are around 200,000 Shiite-Muslim youths in the region prepared to wage holy war upon the arrival of the Mahdi, a prophesized Muslim leader, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency quoted an Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander as saying.

Speaking at an event organized by the Islamic Education Center for Strategic Studies, an Iranian think tank, IRGC Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari reportedly said that tens of thousands of Shiite youths had been armed and trained for jihad – in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen – in anticipation of the Mahdi’s appearance.

The youths, he said, had been “prepared” for the Mahdi’s appearance, going on to assert that the current chaos in the region – including the emergence of DAESH – was a sign of the Mahdi’s imminent arrival. Shiite Muslims believe that the Mahdi will appear on earth to bring justice to mankind shortly before Armageddon and that his appearance will be presaged by widespread chaos and war.

Others to report this article were :-   Middle East Monitor  also   http://www.ibtimes.com/iran-preparing-armageddon-islamic-republic-backs-shiites-syria-iraq-afghanistan-2267065       All articles are very similar.

For the Jews Read :-    “The Days of Ishmael Ruling in the Land of Israel Are Over,” Proclaims Rabbi Baruch Abuhatzeira    The end of days are quickly approaching, announced a prominent Israeli rabbi, as the “difficult security situation in Israel” heats up.     Rabbi Baruch spoke about “the difficult security situation in Israel” but reassured his audience by saying the hard times were almost over.          “It is finished and from today on, the years in which Ishmael (the Arabs) rule over the Jews are finished,” he stated. “There are signs the Messiah is imminent.” 

Another Rabbi,  Rabbi Yizchok said: ‘The year that Melech HaMoshiach [Messiah the King] will be revealed, all the nations of the world will be provoking each other. The King of Persia (Iran) will provoke the King of Arabia, and the King of Arabia will go to Edom (the West) to take counsel, but the King of Persia will in turn, destroy the entire world. The nations of the world will be outraged and panicked. They will fall on their faces, and they will experience pains like birth pangs. Israel too will be outraged and in a state of panic and ask, where do we go? But say unto them, “My children, do not fear, ‘Higiyah zman geulatchem’  [the time of your redemption has come]. And in the last redemption will be different from the first which was followed by further bondage and pain. After this last redemption, you will not again experience any further pain or subjugation.”

Orthodox Rabbis Bring Jesus Home for Christmas

More than 25 (Now 50 and increasing) prominent rabbis from Israel and abroad recently issued a statement calling for a renewed look at Jesus, Christians and the New Testament faith. Quoting from their own sages, these outstanding Orthodox rabbis are not ashamed to exalt the name of Jesus, welcoming the carpenter from Nazareth back into the Jewish fold.

“Jesus brought a double goodness to the world,” declare the group of well-known rabbis.  “On the one hand he strengthened the Torah of Moses majestically…  and not one of our Sages spoke out more emphatically concerning the immutability of the Torah,” and on the other hand “he removed idols from the nations.”

“Saying that Jesus, even more than any other Jewish Sage, honoured, strengthened and protected the “immutability of the Torah,” is an extraordinary acknowledgement. These leading rabbis are turning the tides of history by removing one of the main stumbling blocks in the path of a major Jewish reclamation of Jesus!”

This is also a sign of the last days, when God begins to lift the veil from the eyes of His chosen people, in regard to Jesus Christ, but the Devil will fight tooth and nail against it.    Read below :-     ‘Death to heathen Christians’ scrawled on walls of Jerusalem’s Dormition Abbey    “Death to the heathen Christians the enemies of Israel,” “Christians to Hell” and “The revenge of the people of Israel is yet to come,” were among the messages scrawled on the abbey’s walls in red and black ink, some accompanied by pictures of a bloodied sword and the star of David.

Burning of Christian churches in Israel justified, far Right Jewish leader says      The leader of a far-Right Israeli group has risked arrest by apparently voicing support for arson attacks on Christian churches amid an official crackdown on Jewish extremism.

Mounting excitement is gripping true believers of the three monotheistic faiths all around the world as they see the signs of the imminent return of Messiah.

My next post will be coming soon on  “Why I Am A Christian”  :-  Don’t miss it.

Of Dispensations and Pre Tribulation.

I have noticed recently that “Dispensationalists and Pre Tribulation Teachers” have been coming in for some harsh criticism from anti dispensationalists, and anti pre tribulation teachers, so I thought I would give my reasons as to why I am both a Dispensationalist and also a Pre Tribulation believer. I will not however be engaging in criticism of other Christians, as I do not believe that is God glorifying, but I will be stating my beliefs and backing them up with scripture, and I will make comments on why I do not accept some of their allegations against us, or some of their beliefs about the timing of the rapture.

I believe that there are time periods set by God for certain things to take place in the plan of God.   These time periods are called dispensations.  The word dispensation comes from the Greek word “Oikonomia” which means the order or running of the household.    You could say dispensations are like agenda items, when you complete one agenda item you move on to the next.    To my way of thinking if there are no dispensations, the Bible becomes a book of contradictions, mysterious to the uninitiated, and difficult to understand, whereas in fact it is God’s revelation to us of His plans for mankind.

Revelation means to reveal, or to disclose, to make clear and understandable.   Without dispensations the Bible becomes a minefield for Christians, and a paradise for non Christians of every other religion and or persuasion, it becomes a book where men have to put their own interpretation on much of what God is saying.   It becomes a mystery not a revelation.

I think that there are some things which apply to one dispensation but not others, and that there are some things which apply to all dispensations, but without dispensations, you have a big mess of contradictions.  I believe and note here also, that dispensations are taught in the Bible, and a classic example of this is found in Eph 1:10 where it says “That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:”   In this verse we can see clearly that there will be another dispensation called the fullness of times, which appears to come after the Millennial dispensation.

Dispensationalism is also seen in the writings of early Christians such as Paul, as seen above in Eph 1:10, it is also used by the Apostle Paul in 1 Cor 9:17, and again in Eph 3:2 and Col 1:25.   It is also noted in the writings of early historians such as Justin Martyr, (A.D. 110-165), Iranaeus (A.D. 130-200)   and Clement of Alexandria (A.D. 150-220) to name just a few.

Contrary to most other theological beliefs, Dispensational Theology believes that Israel and the Church are two distinct entities, operating in two distinct dispensations.   I am convinced that although both have had special relationships with God, they are not essentially one and the same.   Israel as a nation, is not and never was the church, and the church is not and never was the nation of Israel.   There are Israelis and Jews in the church, and in fact the church was founded by Jews.   When we gentiles become Christians, we are grafted into the family of faith, the father of whom was Abraham, father of the Israeli nation, but we are not grafted into the nation of unbelieving Israel!

When comparing Israel and the Church in the Bible, the word church is never seen or used in the Old Testament, and it is never seen or used after the Rapture takes place in Revelation 4:1.

I believe that it is only with dispensations that you can take the Bible literally.    Without dispensations, much of the Bible has to be interpreted according to what men think God meant rather than by what the Bible actually says.      Dispensationalists realise that there are many parts of the Bible which are allegorical, but we believe the majority of the Bible is literal, and we can see that so far, all the fulfilled prophecies have been fulfilled literally, and that those currently in the process of being fulfilled, are also shaping up to be fulfilled literally.

Allegorical passages of scripture are usually easy to recognise, such as parables and poems etc. but allegorical interpreters are very often seen to be at odds with each other, having different interpretations, because different people will always have different views on what the passage might mean.

Without dispensations you cannot have a Pretribulation Rapture.   The Pretribulation Rapture depends entirely on a literal interpretation of the Bible wherever it makes sense to interpret it literally.     Without a Pretribulation Rapture you must have God pouring out His wrath and judgement upon Himself, because He is dwelling in true believers in the person of the Holy Spirit!  That would not make sense at all.   Neither would God pouring out His wrath on the Bride to be of His only Son, who gave His life to cleanse and purify her make any sense.   God is NOT about to pour out tribulation of any type, nor His wrath upon Himself or the Bride to be of His Son!

Will the church go through tribulation?  ABSOLUTELY!    The church has gone through tribulation from its beginning, and much of that tribulation has been terrible and unbelievably cruel.   The inquisition was a time of terrible tribulation when millions of Christians were slaughtered for their faith in Jesus Christ.   The Communist countries butchered millions of Christians when they came to power in Russia and China.   Millions of Christians have been butchered by Moslems since the day Muhammad began the religion of Islam right up until today.

Much of the church is going through terrible tribulation right now in Moslem countries, in China, in India, in North Korea and in over 120 other countries around the world today.    But it is Satan and not God who is pouring out his wrath on the church today.    Satan knows that his time is up, and because of this his fury is being unleashed upon God’s people all around the world and it is spreading rapidly to the rest of the world.

Billy Graham’s Warning to American Churches: ‘Prepare for Persecution’

The Rev. Billy Graham has issued a written warning to America’s churches: “Prepare for persecution.” The renowned preacher and founder of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association penned a commentary that was posted on his website last week and is slated to appear in the November edition of Decision magazine.    His son Franklin Graham wrote “Persecution and targeting of Christians isn’t just in Iran or the Middle East, it’s right here in America,” wrote Franklin Graham.

I believe that if the Lord does not come back soon for His bride, that we shall soon see Christians in Australia being targeted by the world for our stand against sins of every type, most notably same sex marriage and sexual perversion of every type.   You can see it already beginning to build here in Australia as it has already in America.   But Jesus said, ‘If they hate you, remember they hated me before they hated you,’ (John 15:18).”

The accusations made by anti Pre Tribulation rapture teachers that we are afraid of tribulation, is to me both ridiculous and repugnant.   The belief that True Christians will suffer the wrath of God in the tribulation, is unscriptural and nonsensical.   Jesus has paid the full price for our sins; to have God pour out His wrath on True Christians, is to say that God was not satisfied with the sacrifice of His own son on the cross, and so Christians must pay a bit more.    That is not what the Bible says.

Yes, we must prepare ourselves for persecution and tribulation, but at the hands of wicked people who are driven by Satan, that has been the portion of the church from the beginning, and will be until Jesus comes back for us.

But persecution and tribulation do NOT come to the True Church from the hand of a loving God who says in Rom_5:9  “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”  And again in 1Th_5:9 “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.”
