The Moabite Stone

The Moabite Stone, also called the Mesha Stele was discovered in 1868 by a French Missionary to a Bedouin encampment at Dhiban also known as Dibon in the bible, East of the Dead Sea. This stone is made out of black basalt stone and is just under four feet tall.

How we came about getting the stone itself was quite the undertaking as the drama involved included the French and Germans getting into a bidding war to purchase the stone from the Bedouins. I could probably go into a couple of posts just on the Drama, but the end result was that the Bedouins heated the rock and poured cold water on it shattering it to pieces thinking that they could sell the individual separate pieces of the stone for the same amount as the entire stone itself. Fortunately, a French archaeologist named Karavaca made a paper squeeze of the inscription before it was destroyed.
In 1870 a French Scholar Charles Clermont-Ganneau was able to recover three large fragments and some of the smaller pieces. These pieces, which was about 2/3 of the original stone, with the paper squeeze made by Karavaca, Ganneau was able to piece together the stone with plaster.

A picture of what the Moabite Stone looks like today in the Lourve Museum in Paris.

Some may start to wonder why I am mentioning this artifact and if there is a biblical connection to it in some way, and there is. This stone that was carved in the 9th Century B.C. is the longest monumental stone ever found in Palestine. It is written in Phonecian/Hebrew because there is a common ancestry between the Moabites and Israelites see Genesis 19. It's about 3,000 years old it hasn't been copied and recopied though the centuries like the bible has, because of the bible being made of paper, and of course paper decays. Because the bible had been copied some doubt the accuracy in the name of YHWH or Yahweh being the original true name of our Father in Heaven exists among some Christians.

The word Yahweh is written on the 18th line to the right.

The word Yahweh is written on the 18th line and is only there because the King Mesha of the Moabites boasts about a battle he won against King David and the House of Israel. He claims that the Moabite god Chemosh saved both him and his people against the God of Israel in which King Mesha saccrificed his own son for appeasement to Chemosh during this battle.
Another interesting point is that it mentions King Mesha did battle with the house of David. As far as I am concerned this is actual proof that there was a person named King David that did exist. I know some may just take it for granted that he did, however, I listened to a speech by a University of Rhode Island Professor of Near East History a couple of months ago that thought David was just a culmination of many Kings.

So with King Mesha winning the battle, does this mean that Chemosh is a more powerful God than Father Yahweh?
I have stated many times in this blog that it is impossible to interpret the Holy Scriptures without knowing History, Science, and the Bible as they all go hand and hand...
We know that Israel is undefeated in battle anytime they are walking with the Father; Deut 28:7
According to Deut 28 the blessings and curses chapter, Israel's victories and defeats are directly related to Israel obeying or disobeying Yahweh's laws and commandments.
While in the encampment of Shittim in the plains of Moab, Israelite men committed whoredom with the daughters of Moab and sacrificed to their gods, Numbers 25:1-5.  Not only was it Moabites that Israel committed whoredom with at that time, it was also with the Midianite women as in the story of the Phineas Priest; Numbers 25:6-9. Any time Israel deviates from the word of the Father only chaos will prevail. It's imperative that Israel remain pure and not commit Adulteration with other women as only a falling away from both his word and his people will happen. This is exactly what is going on now in this country and people just don't see it, as history repeats itself. I pray all of Israel will have a grand awakening.
It is from a lack of knowledge that Israel will be destroyed (Hosea 4:6)!
This stone that was carved to prove weakness of Israel's God, in all actuality only proves the strength of Father Yahweh.
Praise the Lord!

Abraham Goes To The Land Of The Philistines Genesis 20

To see Genesis chapter 20 without my comments click HERE

At this point I think it would be redundant to mention that Abraham was a wealthy man. He owned many herds and flocks that needed attention. Although his primary home was in Hebron at this time he traveled to the land of the Philistines for grazing purposes. In the book of Genesis there are details missing in some places to complete a full picture. For most of the information I could find on this chapter I used the book of Jasher. The book of Jasher, some may not know, was in the bible at one time and was removed for unknown reasons. Jasher does not contradict the bible and complements it very well. It is mentioned in both the books of Joshua and Second Samuel. I recommend it for anyone wanting to understand the bible more completely.

To see Jasher Chapter 20 click HERE.

Abraham traveled from hebron (map center) about 40 miles in the general direction of  Southwest to the land of Shur in which the nearest town on this map above would be Raphis. Today we would know this area as Gaza, or possibly the Gaza Strip. 

When Abraham entered the land of Shur he again repeated what he did when he went into Egypt, and that is to tell his wife to say that she was his sister. The Kings men saw that Sarah was a Hebrew and had fair skin (in other words she was a white woman) Jasher 20:4 and reported her to their King who wanted a white woman.

The King fell asleep on his throne and had a dream that an angel would curse him and his people because Sarah was married to Abraham. The people of the house of the King Abimelech were in pain all night because of the plague. In the morning the King confronted Abraham and returned Sarah and basically just wanted him to just go. He gave him more wealth and told him to dwell any place he wanted in his land. This plague continued until Abraham prayed for it to stop in Jasher 20:30.

I hope all that celebrate Christmas today will keep the Messiah first in all they do, Praise the Lord!

Ruth Was Not A Moabite

In the last post I mentioned the formation or beginning of both the Moabite and Ammonite nations. The beginning of these nations came about from the sin of incest from Lot, Abraham's nephew. Eventually becoming mixed with other tribes the Moabites and Amorites did not remain pure Hebrew stock. They settled in the general area North East of the Dead Sea

Picture of a black Moabite woman. Someone should really tell her she has something hanging out of her nose.

I have heard the argument before that Yahsua Messiah (Jesus) was multiracial because Ruth was a Moabite and she was of the lineage of the Messiah, she was the great grandmother of King David also. Although this is preached in modern churches it isn't true. It's important to understand the history of the land of the Moabite before reading the bible, otherwise you come up with some interpretations that are not accurate.

For example around 1450 B.C. the Amorites drove the Moabites from their land Numbers 21:26-29 After the Amorites conquered the land they in turn were almost immediately invaded by Israelites who just left Egypt and were commanded to kill all the inhabitants of the land Deuteronomy 2:32-34. Next in Deuteronomy 3:12-16 we read that the tribes of Ruben and Gad occupied the land in 1322 B.C.
Then we still see evidence of the Israelite occupation still in 1143 B.C Judges 11:12-26

Then we read in Ruth 1:1 That there was a man named Elimelech from Bethlehem that went to the land of Moab because of a famine, where his sons met women from the land of Moab (Israelites) and married them. Notice it says the land of Moab and it does not say they went to the people of Moab. There is a difference.

The bible is very clear about the Moabites In Zephaniah 2:9 God compares them to the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah. In Jeremiah 48 God condemns Moab. In Isaiah 25:10 condemns like Sodom. And even in Deuteronomy 23:3 states that Moabites  SHALL NEVER enter the congregation of the Lord.

No, the Messiah was not part Moabite he was a pure blooded Hebrew Israelite. His blood line is recorded in the bible with great detail. In Dueteronomy 23:2 states that a bastard (person of mixed race) shall not enter the congregation of the Lord to the 10th generation thats 1/1056 for those who do not want to bother with the math. Was the Messiah a mixed race person? Of course not the bible condemns race mixing.

Praise the Lord for his racially pure bloodline, he is our kinsman redeemer!

Lot And His Daughters Genesis 19:30-38

To read Genesis 19:30-38 without my comments click HERE.

Upon arrival to the land of Zoar Lot preferred to shelter in the mountains. It's obvious that Lot was afraid to dwell in any cities near Sodom as the destruction of the city was horrendous. He arrived there with his daughters only because his sons in law rejected the message that the city was going to be destroyed and his wife couldn't seem to separate herself from the city and eventually became part of what was left of the city.

Lot's daughters thought that their father and they were the only people left on the planet. This is probably because the city of Sodom exploded and they had no way of telling if everyone on the earth had perished or not. The angels of course did not tell them this so they just took it upon their feelings and emotions to continue the sinful lifestyle of Sodom rather than trusting in the Lord.

Now, this is where it gets scary, Lot's daughters got Lot drunk with wine to propagate the seed. Many would think that Lot is an upright and righteous man when in fact I have a different opinion. First of all Lot, when he separated from Abraham, went to Sodom to become a rich and powerful man in this sinful city. Then we read in the bible that he offers his daughters to a mob of demented sexual freaks in the street to have their way with. Then his wife which should be a reflection of his righteousness doesn't want to leave the city as they are directly by an angel to leave town. Then he gets drunk two nights in a row like nothing happened after probably millions of people died in the city of Sodom, which was less than a days walk from where he was and he is so drunk that he doesn't remember his daughters the next day? Really?

Although he is described as being righteous in 2 Peter 2:7-8 I think that the only way I can see this is if he became righteous after the fact, although it's not up to me to judge others in this way because the bible tells us that there are none that are worthy Romans 3:10. 

I also should also add it's also suggested that these daughters were actually daughter in laws and not his actual daughters by bible hub. Scroll down half way until you see the pulpit commentary for Genesis 19:30. I have problems with it but I do want to add other opinions if available.

It's my opinion he was so promiscuous and was with so many different women that he didn't even recognize his own daughters. Not exactly what one would have in mind when they think of righteous people. 

This passage also tells us the origin of the Moabite and the Ammonite nations.

Come Out of Her

The symbolic verse of Revelation 18:4 is indeed a verse that is addressed to the remnant of Israel. This verse speaks timeless truth as it shows that the coming tribulation is not meant for Israelites, nor are they to suffer the plagues of thetribulation.

“And their dead bodies shall lie in the street, of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.” Revelation 11:8

In holy scripture Egypt is used as a symbol of worldliness, and a place for the Hebrew children to come out of. Sodom is a symbol of how Yahweh's people are to escape his wrath when he returns to install his heavenly kingdom here on earth. Symbolically the Messiah was crucified in Egypt and Sodom of the city of Babylon.

Also in scripture Babylon is symbolic of the new system of government that is coming in the last days, and you could really refer to it as the “New World Order”, which we already know mans new world order will not work. So when John wrote to the Israelites in Revelation he literally wrote to get out of her, and he was referring to the new world order and the chaos it creates now and during this time we call the tribulation.

What exactly does this thing we call Babylon that we are to try to avoid?

John refers to Babylon as having 3 parts “And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath” Rev 16:19.

Admittedly I am interjecting my opinion here and would love to hear other opinions, if they care to share. There are three things that are working to control minds of men in this world. The Babylonian system uses these 3 items and gives us two choices in each category to give us the illusion that we actually have choices and are in control of our lives. These three items to enslave the world are:

Politics: In politics you are given two choices. Are you liberal or are you conservative? Or you could be asked are you Democrat or are you Republican? It's true there are other choices beside these, but in reality other outside parties or thinking never take root in the two party system because they are not allowed to. There is no place in the bible that tells us to put our trust into a political two party system.

Religion: One definition of religion as I have heard it is that religion is an effort for man to reach out for God and of course we know that religion and true Christianity are two separate things. In this country you are given two choices Catholic or Protestant. There may be other choices by different names but in the end the world will want to corral you into one or the other. One quick way of telling if a church is a man made faith or not is if they just want you to sit there and not think. Does the person you listen to ask you to think on your own, research the subject he is teaching, or allow you to raise your hand and ask questions during his sermons or homilies? In most churches the answer is no. 

Lately the government has been promoting Islam over Christianity and I think it could very well be possible that within my lifetime the two choices of religion could be Christian or Muslim if the Catholics and Protestants merge. There is no place in the bible that tells us that we have to be a member of a religious denominational group and be put in a box where we are one faith or another. It can be easily proved that the Messiah hated the religion of men.

Money: Yes, even with money you are given the illusion of using two types of currency, plastic or cash. Both plastic and cash now contain RFID and are controlled by the Federal Reserve, and there's no privacy when it comes to Federal Reserve Notes. Prior to the development of Federal Reserve Notes real items were traded for other real items, it's called bartering. Even if you can argue they have always had the ability to use money instead of goods, money was still a commodity because gold and silver dollars was an exchange of bullion as the word dollar is a unit of weight for gold or silver. Today the word dollar means a digit in a bank account that you transfer over to another account with a piece of plastic. In other words the dollar is now a unit of nothingness that people will do any ungodly act for. Because of this the Messiah tells us you cannot serve both God and Mammon.

With these three things that make up the system and are trying to control us, it's interesting that they also work in a concerted effort to rely upon each other. 

I could easily use the analogy of a milking stool which has 3 legs and relies on the other two. If you take one leg away it stops functioning as a stool and collapses just like mans new world order will.

The following is true:

Modern politics without the support of religion or money would cease to exist. 

The first thing modern clergy do in their career is to get permission to preach by getting a tax exempt number fromthe Babylonian system. To have tax exemption, one cannot speak out against government policy, so you will never hear of a sermon that preaches against Sodomite marriage or Abortion for example. Any church that preaches against these are in danger of being closed at any time if the government doesn't like what they are doing. Of course they need money to buy stain glass windows, silver collection plates, and other items when it could be used to advance Yah's kingdom here on earth.

The fiat money system could never exist by itself either because we need the threat of violence or jail to force us to use something that in essence does not exist instead of bartering. 

What can you do to avoid this Babylonian system? 

 The Messiah gave us an example when he walked the earth, he wasn't involved in man made politics, religion, nor did he play the money game of just send in your donations and God will bless you like the modern television evangelists do today. When you are living in Gods system and follow the Messiah by giving ourselves completely over to him then the 3 things that support the Babylonian system suddenly fall apart in our lives and become meaningless. The less faith you put into mans corrupt systems the less plagues you will suffer. Could you imagine a world where everyone just ignored the false systems of man made politics, religion,, and money and simply followed Yah's law?

Praise the Lord!

Revelation 18:4 “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

Sodom Is Destroyed Genesis 19:15-29

To read Genesis 19:15-29 without my comments click HERE.

Both the bible and history clearly show that cities as well as individuals will eventually come under the judgment of the Father. Outstanding examples of cities other than Sodom is the city of Pompeii that was center place of gross immorality prior to Mount Vesuvius going into eruption in 79 A.D. Another example is the island of Martinique in the early 1902 when they paraded the pig through the streets of St. Pierre in a mockery of Yashua Messiah. Only less than one week later Mount Pelee erupted and killed all the people that inhabited the city.

Although the city of Sodom set the stage to be destroyed through their gross immorality, the real catalyst is the absence of the righteous without which the city had absolutely no way of repenting (changing their ways and the way they think.)

In the morning when Sodom was destroyed, Lot, his wife, and daughters left the city to go to a small city called Zoar after pleading with the angels.

There is one thing we must keep in mind when we read this passage, and that is Lot had a very important position in the city and was very wealthy. So wealthy that his wife was given over to her sinful lifestyle in such a way that she had a hard time leaving. Her delay was her undoing as she did not escape in time when the Lord told her to leave then rained fire and brimstone from the heavens igniting the tar pits of the city with a fire so hot it totally consumed everything in the area.

Lot's wife was turned into a memorial of salt and minerals when her body was vaporized from the heat in much the same way that the victims of Hiroshima were also vaporized from the heat of the atom bomb.

The Messiah has spoken in Luke 9:62 when he said “...No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” This statement was true for Lot's wife and it is true for us today. When he speaks, we must answer by our actions. It's not a matter of who we love as the modern churches teach, but rather who we obey! praise the power of his eternal word!

In verse 29 it's made clear that absolutely the only reason that Lot was spared was because of the intercessory prayers of Abraham and this is yet another time when Abraham saved Lot's life. This action of Abraham who truly was an unwavering man of Yahweh shows that there is much power in the prayer of the righteous, as the Father does answer prayer.

This is against my best judgement however, I am posting these videos of a man called Michael Rood who claims to be a Jew and is called a cult leader when I researched his name. I would like to not post his videos, but he does an excellent job in presenting the destruction of Sodom, and I must give credit where credit is due. I have personally seen a video where he dressed up as Santa and gave fake pills to children, very strange, so I do not recommend this person in any of his other videos.

Biometric Numbers Lead To RFID Chips

Click HERE for my previous article on the Mark of the Beast.

Its been a little while since I touched on the subject of the Mark of the Beast. Recently information has been coming forward looking like the mark is soon to become a reality. Recently on CNN I heard about a new thing that is going on in India, their government is assigning a biometric number to every Indian. This is being done with the help of our CIA. This event got my attention mostly because I was wondering what the CIA would want to do this for, and ultimately this could show the direction our Government is thinking of going as they plan national policy for us. They are using India as an experiment to work out the logistics of assigning biometric numbers.

While searching for information on this I came across Judeo-Christian ministers that are receiving RFID chips which could possibly be the mark of the beast, in this country right now. They are preaching to their congregations to embrace the idea of receiving the RFID chip. The main example of this is of a preacher by the name of John MacArthur from NYC.

Most of my life I thought the Preachers would try to warn the people to not receive such things that are either the mark of the beast or eventually will lead to the mark of the beast. 

This is a 5 minute video of Jimmy DeYoung being interviewed about the RFID chip. He came up with the same conclusion that John MacArthur came up with. There is something seriously wrong here when multiple preachers are coming up with the same false concept.


Although I am not definitively saying the RFID is the mark of the beast at this point, I am quite willing to say that if it isn't then it will eventually lead to people becoming accustomed to the idea that receiving a mark is a good thing. Another idea that is being worked on right now is an electronic Tattoo.

Google is spending large sums of money to develop this tattoo they claim it is used in conjunction with your electronic devices. Could this eventually become an electronic entity in itself?

I know where all this is going, eventually all your information will be digitized such as your medical information, your bank information etc... and when this happens they can wipe out the medical records, and bank account of the politically incorrect with a push of a button. I encourage all to try to resist any marks that the government would want to put on you and to try to avoid using electronic cards that use RFID chips such as bank cards that will only encourage them to pursue this prophetic bible concept. Try to use cash to make your purchases etc. If enough people stay clear of the RFID's they will move on to something else.

Where Is The New Jerusalem Part 4

In this final post about the New Jerusalem I'm writing about where the prophetic “New Jerusalem” of Revelation 21 is. Some believe that this prophetic New Jerusalem of the bible is located in the tiny country of Israeli and it exists right now. The city of Jerusalem (city of God) and Zion (the throne of God) is not located in the country of Israeli. I can promise this prophetic city of Revelation is not found in Israeli and is not being fulfilled by the Jews.

For those who doubt me....

Here is a question for you, if Jerusalem was being fulfilled by the Jews in Israeli right now, then why is Tel Aviv the capital of Israeli instead of Jerusalem?

Where is this New Jerusalem at then?

This is where the prophetic city of Jerusalem is: it's in the heavens and our messiah is preparing it for us John 14:2. On that glorious day, the city of the "New Jerusalem" will come to earth as described in Revelation 21:2. There is no place in the bible that tells us that we will go to it in the heavens as most churches teach, as the bible says that no man has ascended into heaven John 3:13, but rather the city is coming to us when our messiah returns and cleans house Luke 20:9-19.

The bible tells us dozens of times that this new city is the “kingdom of heaven” there is no place it is called the “kingdom in heaven” in the bible at all. There is a big difference between the words “of” and “in”, think about it.

The physical size of the New Jerusalem when it comes, is very large. In fact it is so large that in Revelation 21:16 it takes an angel to measure its distance of 12,000 furlongs. A furlong is a unit of measurement that is equal to 0.125 miles. So 12,000 x 0.125 = 1,500 miles long and 1,500 miles wide. To give you an idea of how large this area is in comparison to America it's about half the size of the country. One quick point I want to make is that if the new Jerusalem was in Israel as some claim, it would be large enough to cover the country of Israeli, Jordan, half of Egypt, Parts of Saudi Arabia, etc... which is not the case (see picture down below).

In Rev 21:17 we are told the walls of the New Jerusalem are 144 cubits (about 360 ft.) high to keep out Non-Israelites and will only allow in the believing sons of Jacob Israel. For those who think that this is wrong need to read the books of Ezra and Nehemiah and what they went through after the Babylonian captivity. The wall that was built was to keep the returning Israelites separate from the alien hordes.

The walls themselves of the prophetic New Jerusalem have 12 gates corresponding to the 12 different tribes of Israel in the same fashion as the Hebrew encampment found in Numbers 2. This allows for the 144,000 Hebrew Israelites that are to rule with the Messiah (Yahweh in human flesh) easy access to this city.

Will you be in the New Jerusalem or at least be part of his kingdom when he returns to earth? Can any of us really know for sure if we will be allowed, or even yet, one could wonder if they actually have a ancestry to Israel because there were other fair people on earth when Abraham and his descendants received the Fathers blessing. The bible is clear that not everyone will enter the ruling city of God or be in the Kingdom of God. 1Cor 6:9. Some will be very surprised in the end when they are not allowed into the city or the Kingdom but will be put to death a second time Matt7:21-23 as the unrighteous cannot cohabit with the righteous Rev21:27.

The way I personally feel about this is that even if someone could prove to me that I was not a pure blooded Israelite, which may or may not be the case, it wouldn't change the bible nor the facts in it and I would still preach the gospel as Father Yahweh reveals his word to me. If I am just to hold the door open for the Israelites to come in and out of the city, or I am a lowly garbage collector, I will feel blessed by the most high (if you think that is horrible life then read about the trials of Job).

Yes, my friend I really feel this way because if the Messiah gave up Heaven to come to the earth, and washed the feet of the unworthy when he was here, then holding a door open or being a garbage collector is his will for me, then that is what I will do and it will be a blessing, praise the Lord!

This life we live is only a test, and a test it is. If you have an easy life and are not tested much you will have a difficult time entering the kingdom no matter who you are. This is why the rich will have a difficult time. Only when we are tested fully is when the Father knows what we will do for him. I can also tell you that if the world doesn't hate you then you are living a different message than what the Messiah preached.

I tell everyone to Keep the Messiah first in all they do, all the time for a reason Matt 6:33. In Matt 19:29 we know that when we give everything to the Messiah we will find life. It's only when we empty ourselves of our selfish desires and become empty vessels, then and only then, is when he can use us and we can be used for his glory. In other words when we give up our lives on earth (this may include wine, women, and song) and turn it over to the Father, then this is the only time when we can find eternal life.

The Messiah gave up Heaven for you, what have you given up for the Messiah?

I praise Yahweh for all his prodigal children that heed his calling and come unto him!

The Sins of Sodom Genesis 19:1-14

To read Genesis 19 without my comments click HERE.

In Genesis 19 we read that Lot sat in the gate in Sodom. He was an important figure in the city. This is probably because he had money and resources in much the same way that we have only the rich running America today. The angels inform Lot that they had intentions of staying in the street for the night. Although the bible does say "street" it's my belief that it may not literally mean street as we know it because of the traffic.

 There may have been places by the side of the road where travelers would have stayed. Today we would know a place like that as something like a Hostel or the local YMCA. Anyone that knows anything about these types of places would know that they would have to sleep with one eye open because you wouldn't know what kind of vile thing would be coming at you at any given time. Lot insisted the Angels stay with him for their own protection.

The reason for this concern became obvious when the men of the city came to Lot's door and demanded to have the angels come out so they could rape them. Lot offered to send his daughters out for them and these dirty dogs made it clear in verse 5 that they wanted to perform sodomy on the angels instead. I know one would question Lots walk with the Father based upon his decision to offer his daughters, however in the end the bible tells us that lot was either a just man or became a just man during his lifetime 2 Peter 2:7.

In verse 9 the sodomites tell Lot to stand back or they will do worse to him then they will do to the angels. Just the use of the word "worse" in this sentence should tell you that they knew their actions they commit were bad as the word "worse" is another way of saying it is even badder than bad.
In verse 10 Lot is rescued by the angels and the angels then blinded the men of Sodom.
In verse 13 and 14 Lot is told by the angels that they will destroy the city and Lot is mocked by his sons in laws when he spreads the news.

The city of Sodom was full of grievous sin. This grievous sin I believe was not only the sin of sodomy but was full of every reprobate sin imaginable. The bible is very clear in the book of Romans that those who perform the sin of sodomy open a flood gate of other sins that accompany this sin. In chapter 1 verses 26-32 is a list of these sins.

By all rights this type of lifestyle should die out because sodomites cannot reproduce. Because of this, they have to recruit to keep an active community available to tolerate their lifestyle. 99% of people when they become adults already know their preferences in this matter and there are extremely very few people that just come to this lifestyle on their own. To be able to recruit they have to recruit children who are the most impressionable of any given population. This is exactly why there is such a push to have sodomite boy and girl scout leaders and why there are so many of them around children in such professions as teachers and councilors.

It wasn't all that long ago when sodomy was considered a mental illness. Now not only is it normalized in our culture but it's encouraged in public schools and universities through the GLBT clubs that are paid for with your tax dollars.

I hope all have a good Thanksgiving and encourage all to keep the Father first in all they do!

Where Is the New Jerusalem Part 3

In part 1 I addressed where Jerusalem is not, and some other identifying characteristics such as Jerusalem not being located in the same place where it was in ancient times. Also we know it is not just one city as the bible describes it as being many cities in which will be called God's cities.

In part 2 I addressed the misconception that Jerusalem is located inside of you, and it consists of literal physical cities.

However the modern New Jerusalem of the bible, some people call “The New Jerusalem” is not the prophetic New Jerusalem of a future time when the Messiah comes to rule in Zion (on the throne of Yahweh).

Next, we look in the bible for answers. This is the easiest way of telling where this new land containing the people of Israel, the cities of Yahweh (Jerusalem) and the throne of Zion will be. 

Looking in the bible at Isaiah 49:6-12 we find this location.

In Isaiah 49 verse 12, Isaiah tells us that the new land will be North and West of Palestine. This image was copied from Kingdom Identity Ministries website.

The most important part of the map above, as far as the subject of this post goes, is the upper left corner which is not clear enough to understand from the map above. So, I took a picture of the map on my study wall I bought from KIM years ago.

What this map shows is the location according to the book of Isaiah that is both North and West of Palestine. If you go Longitudally to the North from Palestine and go over the North Pole, then go West Latitudinally the lines meet on the other side of the Hawaiian Islands encompassing both Western Europe and America. Yes, that is correct this is where the regathering of Israel will be according to the Prophet Isaiah. 

This is a short video presented by Sheldon Emry discussing the location of the new Jerusalem. Praise the Lord!

However this is not the Prophetic Jerusalem of Revelation and will take one more post to explain where the New Jerusalem is coming from and where it possibly is going to be. Although this is only one mark of Israel I have addressed in this post, there are over a hundred marks of Israel in the bible that are worth looking at. I will list most of the other marks at the end of this post for those who are interested in investigating on their own. I pray I have given enough information for people to want to do research on their own and I really have no desire for anyone to just take my word for it.

Praise the Lord for the prodigal children who return to their Father!
