Beloved, Amir Tzarfati is an amazing Jewish believer in Yeshua who holds a pre-tribulation dispensational biblical position. He beautifully and simply explains the Day of Atonement and how it will be fulfilled upon Yeshua's return from the Right hand of the Almighty (Psalm 110:1, Dan. 2:43-44; Dan. 7:13-14, Zech 12:10-14, Matt. 26:64, Mark 14:62)!
Beloved, “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ” (2 Cor. 2:14). What a glorious reason for thanksgiving! Our thanksgiving is not ultimately rooted in our circumstances, possessions, health, or earthly victories. It is rooted in the ETERNAL Person of our precious Lord Jesus Christ, our ETERNAL Victor!
Throughout our pilgrim journey, we will experience both joys and trials, victories and tears. Yet through them all, Almighty God is faithfully working in us and leading us in Christ's triumph! At the cross, Jesus conquered sin; through His resurrection, He conquered death; and one glorious day, every enemy will be placed beneath His feet. O beloved, what a Savior! Because we belong to Jesus, His ETERNAL victory is our ETERNAL victory! Even our trials become instruments in our Heavenly Father's hands to disciple us, strengthen our faith, and conform us into the image of His dear precious Son (Rom. 8:28–29).
Beloved, therefore, our hearts can continually sing, “Now thanks be unto God!” Whether walking through green pastures or deep valleys, we can rejoice because our Faithful Shepherd is always with us. Our thanksgiving looks beyond the temporary circumstances of this fallen world to our ETERNAL hope in Jesus Christ. One glorious day our pilgrim journey will be complete, faith will become sight, and we will FOREVER rejoice in the presence of our ETERNAL Victor and King!
How does knowing that my ETERNAL victory is in Jesus change the way I view today's trials?
What blessings and victories in Christ can I thank Almighty God for today?
How can I live each day with a heart that continually says, “Now thanks be unto God”?
PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for our ETERNAL victory in Your precious Son, Jesus Christ. Teach my heart to give thanks in every season and to faithfully rest in Christ's ETERNAL triumph.
We praise You and thank You in Jesus' precious name; even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.
Beloved, Yeshua came to TAKE AWAY our sins, not to COVER them! The blood of goats and lambs could NEVER atone for a sinful man, but the spotless man from the seed of Abraham can go to the cross and be our RIGHTEOUS Lamb!
Beloved, throughout the Holy Scriptures, Yahweh's Word continually points forward to a day when Jesus Christ (Yeshua), Israel's promised Messiah, will return in ETERNAL power and glory to the very land where He first came in His humility. The very One who was rejected and crucified by His own will will return from the Right Hand of the Majesty on High as the rightful KING of kings and LORD of lords (Rev. 6-19:11-21)! In that day, at the very end of Jacob's trouble, will the remaining demonically oppressed inhabitants of Israel look upon the very One whom they rejected, crucified, and pierced, and mourn in great repentance, and receive Him by faith to themselves. This will be the national fulfillment of the Day of Atonement for Israel in the near future (Zechariah 12:10; Romans 11:26–27)!
Beloved, Yeshua's return is not only Israel's hope, but the hope of the whole world for redemption and restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS. On that Day, Yeshua will bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, where there has only ever been demonic rebellion, oppression, and war, and establish His glorious kingdom FOREVER (Dan. 2:44; 7:13-14, Zech. 12-14). As believers today, we eagerly await His glorious appearing, faithfully proclaim His ETERNAL gospel, His Divine plan for Israel, and rejoice that every promise Almighty God has EVER made WILL be completely fulfilled in Yeshua Messiah. Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!
What does Yeshua's promised return teach us about God's faithfulness to His covenant promises to Israel?
How should the certainty of Yeshua's return for His bride change the way I live, worship, and share the gospel today?
Do I believe all the truths about Yeshua's plan for Israel and Israel's return and restoration to Him at His second coming?
PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your great love and for sending Yeshua to save us. Thank You that Your Word is true and that every promise You have made to Israel will come to pass at Yeshua's second coming. With a joyful heart, we thank You and rejoice in You. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Amen
Many out there in the Christian blogosphere might be wondering why I am posting on this topic, and remembering Randy's 44th anniversary of his tragic and horrific death. The thought that might be ringing through people's heads is: "What does Randy Rhoads' birthday and legacy have to do with biblical Christianity or prophetic events?" Well… my dear friends, let me fill you in... and be a little personal.
Photo by Tom .C (see below)
Randy Rhoads; who was the original guitarist of Quiet Riot in the ’70s and then came to stardom and the height of notoriety as Ozzy’s… yes… Ozzy's guitarist! It is absolutely amazing how time flies. I cannot believe it has been 43 years since his March 19th plane crash! To this day, I have NEVER forgotten that anniversary. There has always been something about Randy and his untimely death that still haunts me, and his person that has had a very special place in my heart. I cannot explain it. I know it sounds odd and corny (especially to believers), but that is my past, what can I say? Before I came to Christ in 1992, I myself was lock, stock, and barrel sold into the music industry and a huge cultic follower of Ozzy Osbourne and the rock culture. You could say that I definitely sold my soul to Rock' n Roll. I played guitar and played in several bands, and all who knew me knew that I greatly admired Randy Rhoads. For what it is worth, even my guitar was black with white pock - a – dots! Yes! I was a huge follower.
To this day, I have NEVER forgotten that anniversary. There has always been something about Randy and his untimely death that still haunts me, and his person that has had a very special place in my heart. I cannot explain it.
To all of us who were (me) and are into the music industry or followed it, Randy Rhoads was a guitar god and a legend. His guitar playing changed all the rules and techniques of his day and brought a more technical, professional, and classical approach and style to the rock genre. Randy’s playing and genius in applying guitar scales were unique. Randy was very passionate in his playing and rooted and grounded in music theory, and the list goes on. In light of all the rock’s guitarists, none has ever moved, motivated, inspired, and has been more beloved by an industry than Randy Rhoads. Tragically on March 19th, 1982, Randy was killed in a plane crash, cutting short his life and his guitar genius. His tragic death left a GAPING VOID in the rock world of that day, which has NEVER been filled. The countless daily thoughts of Randy’s fans and admirers ponder and wonder, oh… what could have been, and why him? They continually ring throughout the music world even today, 43 years later!! Unlike the majority of all rock guitarists in that filthy industry, arrogant, proud, haughty, narcissistic, and lewd, Randy was very different.
His unique and humble personality has stood out in a narcissistic and opportunistic industry, and that has left a greater legacy than the genius of his wondrous guitar playing.
.
In the later months of his life, Randy became highly admired and respected not just for his playing and total professionalism, but for being the complete opposite of those in the rock industry and world. As a 14-year-old boy, that is what I admired the most about Randy. I could identify with him on that. Randy was humble, kind, caring, and considerate, and totally not a poser. He was – as silly as this might sound to some - a role model in a godless and decadent world which kids so desperately wanted. He loved to teach guitar and loved his family very much. Many have been greatly influenced by Randy, not just for his playing but for the kind of person that he was. His unique and humble personality has stood out in a narcissistic and opportunistic industry, and that has left a greater legacy than the genius of his wondrous guitar playing.
Randy’s upbringing, according to his brother Kelle and his beloved mother, was that of a strong “Lutheran” Christian rearing, and after years of rebelling against those foundational teachings from his youth, Randy’s conscience was beginning to convict him of being a part of that lifestyle. .
It has been told by many, including Randy’s mother, brother Kelle, Rudy Sarzo, and Ozzy himself, that Randy in the last year or so of his life wanted OUT of the godless, drug-induced rock industry to further a musical career as a classical guitarist. As told by many, Randy did not drink or do drugs, which is unheard of in that decadent and godless society. It is also said that Randy had become very serious in his personality and that touring with Ozzy had really changed him. I truly believe that the life in that godless industry was beginning to turn his stomach, and he wanted out. I personally know (by personal experience) that at the age of 24 (not that I was ever at Randy’s level or sphere) I could not be a part of it anymore and adhere to my conservative “religious Christian” upbringing. I believe that this is what Randy might have been thinking near the end of his life. What is most mysterious and an important insight is that on the night before Rhoads' death, Sharon Osbourne stated that Randy said to her: "I don't think I want to be a rock 'n' roller anymore". Why would Randy ever make that statement at the height of his fame unless he saw what that industry was all about? Randy’s upbringing, according to his brother Kelle and his beloved mother, was that of a strong “Lutheran” Christian rearing, and after years of rebelling against those foundational teachings from his youth, Randy’s conscience was beginning to convict him of being a part of that godless lifestyle. Randy’s Brother, Kelle had shared that touring and playing with Ozzy was causing conflict in his mind due to his upbringing. Who knows? Out on the road, away from friends and family, one is more open to evaluating one’s life and what it all means. The big lights of fame and the countless concerts of fans praising you after a while do not seem to satisfy one anymore (Eccl.). There comes a time in one's life that one looks outside of themselves for the TRUE meaning of our existence here in time.
What is most mysterious and an important insight is that on the night before Rhoads' death, Sharon Osbourne stated that Randy said to her: "I don't think I want to be a rock 'n' roller anymore".
One begins to think and evaluate who one is; what is the meaning of life, reflecting on one’s past and upbringing, and in the fear of one’s accountability to Almighty God (Job 28:28, Prov. 1:7). All of Ozzy’s drunken, drug-induced lifestyle, demonic cross waving, and anti-biblical personality had to affect Randy. It went against all that he was taught growing up, and night after night of it must have finally come to a head. It must have been then that Randy shared with Sharon that he wanted out of Rock' n Roll after doing it since his early teens. Many of these private ponderings and thoughts individuals keep to themselves as they wrestle with them in their hearts, ever seeking to justify them or objectively condemn them. If this was the case with Rand,y I do not know, it might have been. Whatever the case with Randy, there was a change taking place in his life, and people saw it. The rest, unfortunately, is a great mystery, and that is what hooks people till this day about Randy Rhoads, the countless thoughts of the unknown, and the thoughts of what would have been.
One begins to think and evaluate about who one is; what is the meaning of life, reflecting on one’s past and upbringing, and in the fear of one’s accountability to Almighty God.
The thought that I want to share about Randy’s death’s anniversary is that no matter who we are or what we are or the manner of our living, whether good or evil, in the end, we ALL will give an account to our Creator on that Last Day (Matt. 7:21-23, Rev. 20:10-15). Almighty God is perfectly RIGHTEOUS in ALL that He allows and does not allow in this fallen world (Gen. 18:25, Rom. 3:5). Whether Randy Rhoads had a saving relationship to Jesus Christ in spirit and truth at the end of his life is unknown (John 4:24, 14:6, Acts 4:12, Rev. 21:27). Tragically Randy’s followers on this 42nd anniversary all will picture him to be in “heaven”, a “heaven” which is after THEIR OWN subjective fallen design and delusional reality. My dear friend, it is IN DEATH that our ETERNAL sobering summons to stand before our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator Almighty God to give an account for what we have done in our bodies in this fallen world is called (2 Chron. 19:7, Eccl. 3:17, 12:13-14, Heb. 9:27). We do not want to pretend with our fallen delusional reasoning that we in our own deeds are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT and RIGHTEOUS to stand before our Creator. For who is there that EVER lived (virtuous or vile) that has NOT TRANSGRESSED against Almighty God's ETERNAL PERFECT RIGHTEOUS ABSOLUTES (John 3:36, Rom. 3:23)? My dear friend, REALITY is desperately needed in this hour and day, for we will all give an account, maybe even tonight perhaps to Almighty God (Rom. 14:12, 1 Peter.4:5). We do not know when our hour will be at hand but we must be ready! ETERNITY is always before us (Job, 27:8, Prov. 10:2, 27:1, Luke 12:19-20, Rev. 20:11-15)!
Almighty God is perfectly RIGHTEOUS in ALL that He allows and does not allow in this fallen world. Whether Randy Rhoads had a saving relationship to Jesus Christ in spirit and truth at the end of his life is unknown.
We are in a horrific and desperate need for Divine propitiation and a Savior.
My dear friends, as millions reflect on Randy's 44th anniversary of his passing and legacy, may we look OUTSIDE of the box of this fallen and temporal world to see the ETERNAL in light of this little temporal life here on planet earth. My dear friends, it is all about ETERNITY, will YOU be ready?
Almighty God is absolutely just in all that He does and allows. He has allowed and used Randy’s tragic death to get people’s attention and to teach us all just how brief, frail, tragic, and temporal our little existence truly is here on planet earth. The question that we must ask ourselves is, will we pay FULL attention? Whether Randy in the last days of his life came to know Jesus Christ as his personal Savior no one knows, but Almighty God PERFECTLY gave him every opportunity to do so, just as He is doing for all alive on planet earth at present (John 16: 8-11, Rom. 2:4). No one will EVER die without having every opportunity to hear the SAVING Gospel of Jesus Christ. For, in the END, it is OUR own personal freewill that will make our ETERNAL decision (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 16:29-31). In the GRACE and MERCY of Almighty God, I have personally made my decision. Though I wrestled with Almighty God for years He wondrously in His ETERNAL love and kindness, gave me some time to beat my drum and to exhaust all of my delusional thinking (Rom. 2:4). In the end, Almighty God showed me how desperately I needed Him and how gracious to me He truly was. I have received Jesus Christ and His ETERNAL saving solution for me - a transgressor and sinner - and I have NEVER looked back (John 1:12, 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 2:1-10)! How could any look back? You see, I can absolutely identify with Randy's life, not that I ever lived on his level, but our lives were very similar. The lifestyle of that industry may be enjoyable for a season, but there is no way anyone can find fulfillment in it let alone serve Almighty God in it. Almighty God is calling OUT any who will hear His voice and have an ear to hear (Matt. 13:18-23, Mark 4:9). Do YOU have an ear to hear? That is the ETERNAL question at hand.
Almighty God is absolutely just in all that He does and allows. He has used Randy’s tragic death to get people’s attention and to teach us all just how brief, frail, tragic, and temporal our little existence truly is here on planet Earth.
Whatever choice Randy made about his ETERNITY, if he could tell us anything, he would communicate to all that loved him how desperately crucial it is for one to have Almighty God's ETERNAL pardon and redemption found ONLY in Jesus Christ - pro or con (John 3:16-17, 36, 11:25-26, Rev. 20:11-15, 21-22:1-5). My friends, I am sure many will misunderstand this post and be enraged. They will NOT be objective and evaluate it based on the REALITIES of Almighty God’s Word, but it is my sincere desire that at least one out of the millions will consider the WONDERFUL saving grace of Almighty God. For, in the end, that is what this life and brief existence on planet earth is all about! It's up... TO... YOU... to choose. What will it be?
Beloved, had to share this incredible testimony of Jan Markell; her endurance, faithfulness, vision and knowing in all the adversity, that ALL things work together for good, in God’s perfect will for the child of God, for His ETERNAL glory!
Jan’s global ministry is so impactful as she is one of the world’s greatest voices for end-times biblical prophetic teaching; and in light of her 21-year infirmity, God has used her beyond all she could imagine. Eph. 3:20-21
May this 20-minute testimony be a great encouragement to you as it was for me; to never surrender and to trust in the Lord with all your heart! Your service in Jesus is never in vain. Prov. 3:5-6!

The Wisdom of this World/The Wisdom of Almighty God

A Biblical Point Of View In Light Of Todays Politics, Conditions And Crises.
This blog has been set up for the Glory of God; that He may be exalted and known by all in these last days. It is our desire to give a weekly thought about the current events of today in light of God's Word, the Bible, and Christ's second and soon coming. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!! (Rev 22:20)
One only needs to think outside the box of this world system and believe Almighty God and His Word! Then will you find the answers of life and see the reality of what it is all about. DJP I.F. Have Faith in God! (Mark 11:22)
It is our sincere desire that all would come to know the Messiah of Israel and let the Word of the Lord open your eyes and heart to the realities of time and ETERNITY. Tragically, as we look prophetically ahead, Israel's WORST DAYS are not very far away (Jer. 30:4-9, Zech 13:7-9, 14:1-4). It will take this GREAT TRIBULATION AND THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON that will cause Israel to FINALLY afflict themselves greatly because of their transgressions and cry out to the LORD Yeshua Messiah as He returns from Heaven's glory! It will be then that they will greatly repent and be mightily converted (Isa. 63:1-4, 66:7-9, Zech. 12:1-4, :8-14, 13:1-2,6, 14:1-4, Rev. 1:7, 19:11-21). Oh, what a glorious day that will be, and because of their reception of Yeshua Messiah, they will now be ready for the Kingdom Age Almighty God promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and to her seed!
