Beloved, this Palm Sunday, many "Christians" like Israel of old will assume and profess that they know Jesus, but tragically, "their" Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible. In making their "own" Jesus, they have rejected the Biblical Jesus and will find themselves ETERNALLY desolate on the Day of Judgement. In light of this thought, I just wanted to share this brief, powerful poem written by Geo. O'hara. In conclusion of this poem, please be sure that you possess the Biblical Jesus, which comes by faith alone in His RIGHTEOUS Character. In doing so you will NEVER be the same (John 1:12; Acts 16:28-31; 1 John 2:2; 4:8-10; 5:13).
Why call Me Lord, Lord and do not the things I say?
You call Me the Way and walk Me not! You call Me the Life and live Me not! You call Me Master and obey Me not! You call Me Bread and eat Me not! You call Me Truth and believe Me not! You call Me Lord and serve Me not! If I condemn you, blame Me not.
Geoffrey O’Hara
Not everyone that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many shall come to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name? And in Thy name cast out devils? and in Thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME YE THAT WORK INIQUITY. (Matthew 7:21-23)
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
(Luke 6:46)

"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
(John 14:15)
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
(John 14:21)
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
As last days America celebrates Palm Sunday and Easter, let us not forget about the history of the false perception that 2.7 million visitors of Jesus' day had (Jews and Gentiles) from all over the land of Israel and the known world during the Week of the Passover. Countless multitudes in Jerusalem at that time had totally misunderstood who Jesus was (Matt. 23:27; Luke 19:14). These countless multitudes that Jesus healed from demonic oppression and all kinds of diseases had soon forgotten His wonderful works for them. His 3-1/2 year preaching ministry was beginning to wear thin, and they had had enough of Him and His message of “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
The very city that shouted cries of praise by the hundreds of thousands turned to vengeful shouts of 'Crucify Him!
By the middle of the Passover Week, the very city that shouted cries of praise by the hundreds of thousands had turned to vengeful shouts of "Crucify Him!" How could this be? My friend, as they really began to comprehend just who Jesus was (Isa. 53, Psalm 22), they wanted nothing to do with Him. Their shallow "love" for Him had quickly turned stone-cold to hate and abhorrence. For their vain, temporal and sinful existence, Jesus had become tiresome and of no benefit to them at all (Eccl. 9:3, 9; 11:8; Isaiah 53: 2-3).
The very One whom they had praised to the Heavens and welcomed with thunderous applause just hours before (Matt 21:5-11; Mark 7-11; Luke 19:35-40) was now the very One they shouted down: "Crucify him... Crucify him!" (Mark 15:12-14), "We have no king but Caesar!" (John 19:15), "May His blood be upon us and our children!" (Matt. 27:25). Again, how could this be?
As they really began to comprehend just who Jesus was, they wanted nothing to do with Him. Their shallow love had quickly turned stone-cold to hate and abhorrence.
My dear friends, how many Americans of this last day America, who call themselves "Christians" this Palm Sunday and Easter will go to a church - probably for the first time in months - and praise a Christ that is not the TRUE Christ of the Holy Scriptures at all! A multitude of millions also world-wide will do this very thing. This if HORRIFICALLY sobering indeed! When it comes right down to it, these have created their OWN Jesus and have REJECTED the very One of the Holy Scriptures (Matt. 7:21-23; Jude 1:4). In their heart-of-hearts they truly DESPISE the Christ of the Holy Scriptures. What is even more horrifying to conceive is if these same people were present for that first Palm Sunday long ago, they also would be among the very hordes of multitudes shouting, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"
When it comes right down to it, these have created their OWN Jesus and have REJECTED the very One of the Holy Scriptures. .
On this Palm Sunday and Easter (if you do not already) may you come to personally know the Christ of the Holy Scriptures. May your praise and admiration be towards the Christ of the Holy Scripture in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24).
Who Do You Say That Jesus Is?
Do your thoughts, upbringing, religious background, or personal beliefs about Jesus line up with God’s Christ of the HOLY SCRIPTURES? You might ask, “Well, does it make a difference?" My friend, I say unto you, "It sure does!"
Take the Jesus Challenge!
The Bible is the final AUTHORITY about who is Jesus Christ. It is God’s absolute instruction manual and blueprint for life. If you reject the authority of the Word of God, my friend, you are doomed. There is no hope for your lost, sinful condition. The Bible teaches, “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Note that it says ALL! You need to know the True Savior, not a make-believe one. It’s that serious. Don’t let your deceitful heart and pride ruin you and keep you from the soul redemption found only in Jesus Christ.
Ignorance of Scripture is Ignorance of Christ!
Jesus said, "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify [speak] of me" (John 5:39).
The purpose of this Bible study video is to bring a person through God’s simple plan of salvation using only the Gospel of John. This video is explained in such a way that a person can see for themselves what the Bible really says about who Jesus Christ is, what He has done for us, and the necessity of putting our faith in Him.
. Since the REJECTION of Israel's Messiah (Isa. 53, Dan. 9:22-27). the godless gentiles of the world have been absolutely brutal to the "Apple of Almighty G-d's eye" climaxing with the Jewish Holocaust under the murderous Nazis. Almighty G-d's chastising hand on unbelieving Israel has been clearly seen, but Israel has refused to return to their KING and has misread Almighty G-d's chastisement (Lev. 26, Deut. 28-40). Tragically, since 70 A. D Almighty G-d has given them over to their own desires, works and thinking and they have reaped the horrific whirlwind ever since (Lev. 26, 2 Chron. 7:12-22); however thought; in these last days; Almighty God has brought back Israel into their land and has made them a mighty super power; though in unbelief preparing them for the return of their risen Lamb and ETERNAL King.
Almighty G-d's chastising hand on unbelieving Israel has been clearly seen, but Israel has refused to return to their KING and has misread Almighty G-d's / Lev.26;Deat. 28-40
One of the scattered children of Israel's most fearsome aggressors and adversaries has not been Islam, but apostate Christendom, who themselves are godless and have rejected the sound biblical teachings of the Jewish Tanakh (Bible) and those of her Messiah. They have exceeded all of the wickedness of Israel's enemies and in the end Almighty G-d will judge them for their dealings with the apple of His eye (Gen 12:3). Even when out of the will of Almighty G-d, Almighty G-d's protective eye is on His people and has preserved her from total annihilation (Isa. 54:10, Jer.30:11 46:28, Ezek. 11:16, Amos 9:8). But of a truth, the scattered Jew has NO better friend IN the world then those who are the TRUE believers in Israel's Messiah and Lord, Yeshua Ha'Mashiach and they know it(Gen. 12:3, Psalm 110:1, Isa. 53).
One of the scattered Jewish people's most fearsome aggressors has not been Islam, but apostate Christendom - who they themselves are godless and have rejected the sound biblical teachings of the Jewish Tanakh (Bible) and those of her Messiah.
Sadly, today, the sons of Abraham are willingly OBLIVIOUS to the promises made to Abraham and the world by Almighty G-d about the very One who would come in his line, his SEED (single). G-d's promise to the whole world is found in Abraham: "In your SEED shall ALL nations be blessed" (Gen. 18:18, 22:18, 26:4, 28:14, Gal. 3:6-14)! That SEED is referring to the Lamb of G-d that TAKES AWAY the transgressions of the ENTIRE world (Isa. 9:6-7, 53, Dan. 9:26, Micah 5:2, Gal. 3:6-14). The Messiah of Israel IS Almighty G-d the Son (Ps. 110:1, Prov. 30:4, Isa. 9:6-7, Mic. 5:2), the Lamb of G-d (Isa. 53, Dan. 9:26) and the RIGHTEOUS Branch of Almighty G-d (Jer. 23:5; 33:1)! Tragically today the sons of Israel have taken on the mantle of the gentile gods of relativism, traditionalism, fatalism, secularism, materialism, liberalism and atheism.
The Messiah of Israel IS Almighty G-d the Son, the Lamb of G-d and the RIGHTEOUS Branch of Almighty G-d!
Sadly, the children of Abraham have been unbelievers and rejecters of Almighty G-d, the Torah and Pentitude and the RIGHTEOUS absolutes of Almighty G-d since day one as the Torah FULLY testifie. Their oppressed past has been a perpetual witness continual against them throughout the last 26 centuries (Ex. 32:9, Lev. 26, Deut. 9:6,-7; 31:27, Ezek. 39:22-27). In a lot of ways the nation of Israel has been no different then the gentile nations born of Babel (Gen. 11) and as a matter of fact according to Almighty G-d's Word, they at times have been far worse (2 Chron. 33:9, Ezek. 5:7). If ONLY the sons of Abraham fully comprehended Israel’s HOLY calling as Scripture dictates and had not put aside His Holy Word for vain traditions, fables and vain mitzvahs that can NEVER deliver a man's soul from his violations of the HOLY and PERFECT Law of Almighty G-d. Tragically, as the Holy Scripture teaches, there has ONLY ever been but a remnant in Israel that has truly EVER possessed a heart for the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses and David (Isa 1:9, 10:21-22, Jeremiah 23:3, 42:2, Micah 2:12, 7:18). Well did Isaiah say.
“Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?” (Isaiah 53:1)
“And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed." (Isa. 6:9-10)
"For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness." (Isa. 10:22)
My beloved Jewish friend, may I ask you these very personal questions?
Where is YOUR atonement for your transgressions against the Holy Law of Almighty G-d (Lev. 17:11, Isa. 53)?
Where is YOUR sin-offering for your cleansing of transgressions against the Holy Law of Almighty G-d (Lev. 4, 17:11, Isa. 53)? ,
Where is YOUR lamb to offer in your place for your transgressions (Lev. 17:11, Isa. 53)?
Where is YOUR propitiation that FULLY satisfies the PERFECT RIGHTEOUS DEMANDS OF THE HOLY LAW OF G-D (Isa.53:10-11, Zech. 12:8-14)?
Have you PERFECTLY kept the LAW of Moses with your whole HEART, SOUL, and MIND (Deut. 6:5)?
My dear Jewish friend, ALL (Jew and Gentile) crucially need Almighty God's FULL SATISFYING propitiation which all the lambs of sacrifice pointed to but could NEVER take away (Ps. 40:6-8, Isa. 40:16).
ETERNAL redemption is ONLY found in the PERFECT life, death, and resurrection of the Messiah of Israel, the Branch of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
It is our sincere desire that you 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, Israel's WORST DAYS are not very far away, and tragically, they will NOT listen to Moses and Elijah whom Almighty God will send to them on that Day (Mal. 4, Rev. 11:3-12). After a great and decisive victory over Israel's border enemies Israel will achieve a temporal peace and will become very prosperous (Ezek. 38:8). It will be at this time that Israel will enter into a treaty with a man on behalf of their defeated enemies for seven years (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 6:1-2). In the middle of that treaty - as the world is undergoing great war, pestilence and famine (Rev. 6-9) - this man will break His covenant with Israel (Dan. 7, Rev. 11:7, 13) and he will lead the world to FULLY seek to eradicate Israel from being a people (Deut. 4:30, Dan. 12, Jer. 30:4-7, Zech. 13:8-9, Rev. 12). It will take this GREAT TRIBULATION AND THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON that will case Israel to FINALLY cry out to the LORD as He returns from Heaven's glory and 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). .
It will FINALLY take this GREAT TRIBULATION AND THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON that Israel will FINALLY cry out to the Lord as He returns from Heaven's glory and the will greatly repent and be mightily converted.
We are not far away from these days. My dear Jewish friend, may you have an ear to hear today The Gospel call of the Messiah of Israel. May you by faith ask Almighty G-d to reveal to you through His Holy Word the Messiah of Israe,l and may you receive Him as your Lord and Savior (Ps.110:1, Isa. 53).
ONLY in the PERFECT RIGHTEOUS LOVE of Jesus Christ is there TRUE and TOTAL deliverance and liberation from the horrific ravishings of the flesh and its control, power, and tyranny!
In light of our post-Judeo/Christian America, do you know the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LOVE of Almighty God, which is found ONLY in His Son Jesus Christ?
The love of God ONLY gives and ONLY seeks that which is the highest and best for its object of love based and rooted in Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PERSON, the MORAL ABSOLUTES of time,
ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS and ETERNAL SPIRITUAL TRUTH. How can any say they love you and give you less than Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS standards and RIGHTEOUS virtues (Gal. 5:21-22; Rev. 2:1-7)? Almighty God LOVES YOU in RIGHTEOUSNESS and sent His Son to die to make us RIGHTEOUS and to give us ETERNAL LIfe and an ETERNAL future (John 14:3, 1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 21; 22:1-5)! My dear friend, I do not know how to say anything more wonderful than that! The one true God and Creator of the Universe truly LOVES you (1 John 4:10)! My dear friends, follow the One who LOVED you and GAVE Himself to you that you might be with Him FOREVERMORE in the ETERNAL LOVE of Father (Gal. 2:20). Place your trust in Him today and FOREVERMORE will you sing, "Oh, the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS WONDEROUS LOVE of Jesus towards me!" Dear friend, be sure to look up these Bible verses in this post and see for yourself, that Almighty God TRULY and PERFECTLY loves you!
This Easter many will go through the robotic motions of celebrating Easter without any possession of the REALITY of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. They will gather with loved ones, family and friends to color Easter eggs; have Easter egg hunts; eat baked ham, candy, and fine desserts; maybe watch a sporting event and perhaps even attend church for the first time since Christmas. All these things in themselves are harmless enough, but leave out the resurrection REALITY and all you have is ETERNAL vanity and darkness. This tragically, however, happens every year in a never-ending cycle of tradition and hypocrisy. Oh my friend, what is truly needed this Easter is a dose of the heavenly reality of Christ’s triumphant resurrection from the dead (John 4:24)!
The resurrection of Christ from the dead is the centerpiece of all time and ETERNITY. All depended on His resurrection and utter defeat of the tyranny of Death.
The resurrection of Christ from the dead is the centerpiece of all time and ETERNITY. All depended on His resurrection and utter defeat of the tyranny of Death (1 Cor. 15:55, Heb. 2:14-15, Rev. 1:18). Each and everyone who has put their trust in Jesus Christ for salvation - as taught in the Holy Scriptures - shall never be ultimately defeated, discouraged or disappointed (2 Cor. 1:9-10).
Oh, what joy to the trusting heart when the King of Fears (Death) is defeated (Col. 2:12-15; Rev. 20:14)! My dear friend, the Easter Bunny in all his "magical splendor" could never accomplish that! REALITY is so desperately needed in this hour not fairy tales and vain traditions that CANNOT deliver a man or woman's soul in that Day of ETERNAL judgment (Rev. 20:11-15, 22:15).
"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Cor. 15:55-57)
"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?" (John 11:25-26)
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (1 Peter 1:3)
"Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:8-11)
"Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification" (Romans 4:25)
This Easter, do you truly know the RESURRECTED Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior? He alone can deliver from the penalty of sin and the tyranny of death (John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4, Rev. 1:5). Oh, to comprehend the REALITY of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! It will change your life, and you will NEVER be the same!
Jesus said: "Fear not; I am the first and last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death" (Rev. 1:17-18)
As you sit around the dinner table with loved ones and friends this Easter, may you examine your hearts and minds to be sure that you are truly trusting in the saving grace of Almighty God and His Precious Son (Acts 16:29-31, Rom. 10:2-4, Eph. 2:8-9, 1 John 5:10-13). Examine what is taught in the Holy Scriptures for yourself and see (Eph. 2:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-23). May you truly be able to say with all of your heart, "I KNOW Him and the POWER of His Resurrection" (Philip. 3:10a)!
The love of God ONLY seeks to establish RIGHTEOUSNESS in one life here for time and for ALL ETERNITY; Almighty God’s love then seeks that which is only the highest and best for its object of love based and rooted in Almighty God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS PERSON, the MORAL ABSOLUTES of time,
Almighty God LOVES YOU in RIGHTEOUSNESS and sent His Son to die to make us RIGHTEOUS and to give us ETERNAL LIfe and an ETERNAL future!
My dear friend, I do not know how to say anything more wonderful than that! The one true God and Creator of the Universe truly LOVES you (1 John 4:10)! My dear friends, follow the One who LOVED you and GAVE Himself to you that you might be with Him FOREVERMORE in the ETERNAL LOVE of Father (Gal. 2:20). May you let go and surrender your life to Him today and place your trust in Him; and FOREVERMORE will you sing, "Oh, the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS WONDEROUS LOVE of Jesus towards me!" Dear friend, be sure to look up these Bible verses in this post and see for yourself, that Almighty God TRULY and PERFECTLY loves you!
The invasion into Ukraine and Russia’s massing of troops on the Israeli border in Syria at present; we can see before our very eyes - in this EXPONENTIAL technological age - that Bible prophecy's end time last days stage is being fully set; and Gog's invasion alliance being fully established as they all prepare for their invasion into the land of Israel (Ezek. 38-39)!
The Ukraine is on the very eastern border of Magog as historians and history maps tell us!
Is it not sobering and very curious that Israel, even when they are totally out of the will of Almighty God are still the scourge of the world and nations (Deut. 28-32, Lev. 26)? This in its self is a testament to the fulfillment of the Word of the Lord and Bible prophecy and a sign to all nation, a global demonic target and to the Jews Israel is Almighty God's chosen people and people (Deut. 14:2; 28-32, 2 Sam. 7:23-24, Amos 3:1-2, Rev. 12:5). It will be after the destruction of Gog's confederacy that Almighty God will reveal this very point (Ezek.39, 7, 21-26). The nation of Israel at present - though back in the land is out of the will of the TRUE KING of Israel and in the days coming up He will send them the Two Mighty Patriarchs of old (Moses and Elijah), whom Israel has always reverenced but have truly despised what they have represented and stand for (Mal. 4). These Two will be dressed in black sackcloth and will seek to awaken Israel out of her unbelieving slumber and to let them know that their Messiah and His Kingdom is now at hand! These Two will now fully address Israel's unbelief, godlessness and spiritual apostasy and Israel's heart now at the day of their visitation WILL NOT want to hear it (Deut. 28-32, Lev. 26, Ezek. 39:21-24, Dan. 9:26-27, Matt. 23:37, 27:22-25, Rev. 11:2-6).
It will come to be in the near future that Almighty God's Two Witnesses will arrive in Israel and provide supernatural protection for their ministry which also will include the supernatural protection of the nation Israel.
It will come to be in the near future at the beginning of the Day of the Lord (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 6:1-2) that Almighty God's Two Witnesses will arrive in Israel and provide Divine supernatural protection for their ministry and that of the nation of Israel (Ezek. 38:8,11,13,14,39:25-26, Rev. 11:2-6, 10). Under the Divine protection of Moses and Elijah (Rev. 11:2-6, 10) Israel will dwell in unwalled cities in complete safety and security, while the nations go through horrific global war and demonic domination(Ezek. 38:8,11,13,14, Rev. 6-9). Indeed, why will Israel need the protection of the pre-beast of Revelation 13 when they will have the Divine SUPERNATURAL POWERS of the Two Witnesses for protection at this time from ALL GLOBAL THREATS (Rev. 11:3-7)?? Beloved, just read Rev. 11:3-7 and tell me why? Indeed my friends, the Two Witnesses of Revelation are the Two most neglected prophetic individuals of the Day of the Lord and need to be properly inserted into Daniel 9:27 and understood in their context, in light of the confirming of the covenant with the abundance or many by the Prince, until the ceasing of the Altar which they will establish!
Indeed, why will Israel need the protection of the pre-beast of Revelation 13 when they will have the Divine SUPERNATURAL POWERS of the Two Witnesses for protection at this time from ALL GLOBAL THREATS??
What is most tragic about this time of security is that Israel will NOT want to hear the message of salvation found in Yeshua as their fathers also did not want to hear.
As the inhabitants of Israel see the world going through HORRIFIC tribulation (Matt. 24: 6-8, Rev. 6-9) they will dwell in security, safety, and unbelief under the protection of the Two Witnesses(Ezek. 38:8,11,13,14). As Israel dwells in this safety they will become callous, hard, idle, and will rebel continually against the very ones who are the royal patriarchs of their nation and against their testimony and word. It will be at this time near the middle of the first half of the tribulation period that Almighty God will use Israel and their prosperity in the land - which has been "brought back from the sword" - as bait to bait Gog of the land of Magog and his Islamic confederacy to come and take a "spoil" and a "prey" (Ezek. 38:8-14, 39:7, 25-26). In using this demonically governed man (Gog), Almighty God will seek to get Israel's FULL attention as he once did with Pharaoh at the birth of their nation (Ex. 14:4, Ezek 39:7,21). Almighty God will FULLY manifest His glory and Name among unbelieving Israel and the gentile nations and there will be no doubt to the REALITY of His ETERNAL Name and PERSON; that He is the God of Israel and ETERNAL SOVEREIGN of ALL ETERNITY and the earth (Ezek. 39:7,21-26, Dan. 4:17).
In using Gog as Almighty God did Pharaoh's hardness and godless rebellion, He will FULLY manifest His glory and Name among unbelieving Israel and the war-ravished gentile nations.
Here is some background into Gog's great desire. In the first 3 1/2 years of global tribulation, the world's gentile nations will have been going through HORRIFIC global war, supernatural plagues, demonic domination, and demonic destruction (Matt. 24:6-8, Rev. 6-9). The surviving nations of the world at this time have seen firsthand the Divine SUPERNATURAL protective hand of Moses and Elijah and are suffering greatly from the consequences of the Seal and Trumpet Judgments (Rev. 6-9, 11:2-6). With such HORRIFIC devastation heaped upon Gog and his confederacy during this time the land of Israel is a perfect target for supplies, resources, food, and revenge (Ezek. 38:10-13). Israel during this time will be the most despised nation of the world and much of that EXPONENTIAL hatred has to do with the TREMENDOUS POWER, AUTHORITY, and MINISTRY of Moses and Elijah (Matt. 24:6-9, Rev. 11:2-6, 10).
Because the Two Witnesses of Revelation's ministry to Israel takes place in the first half of the tribulation period and Gog's invasion of Israel also takes place during this time period we have concluded here at the IFB that Gog and Almighty God's Two Witnesses will go head to head!
It will be that this time that Gog will come out of his northern dwelling with his massive army and confederacy and seek to cover the land of Israel like a tremendous storm cloud to plunder and destroy (Ezek. 38). Millions of the surviving inhabitants from the prior Seal and Trumpet judgments (Rev. 6-9) from these nations will mass on Israel, who are unbelieving, unprepared and idle (Ezek. 38:8-14, 39:7, 25-26). Because the Two Witnesses of Revelation's ministry to Israel takes place in the first half of the tribulation period (Rev. 11:2-7) and Gog's invasion of Israel also takes place during this time period we have concluded here at the IFB that Gog and Almighty God's Two Witnesses will go head to head (Rev. 11:5-7, 38:16-23, 39). As Gog's armies approach Israel to destroy and plunder her, Almighty God by the hand of His Two Witnesses (Moses and Elijah) will call down GREAT and HORRIFIC destruction on Gog's host and deliver the nation of Israel from utter ruin (Ezek. 38:18-23, 39:1-8). At the hand of Moses and Elijah (Ezek.38:16-23, 39:1-7, Rev. 11:2-6) Almighty God will make known His glory and Name among unbelieving Israel and the raging nations and whether or not these choose to repent and believe they will know without a shadow of doubt that Almighty God is God and that these two messengers are His prophets. As Almighty God delivered Israel from Pharaoh's armies at the Red Sea (Ex.14-15) so will it be on this day (Ezek. 38:23, 39:7,13, 21,22).
As Gog's armies approach Israel to destroy and plunder her, Almighty God by the hand of His Two Witnesses (Moses and Elijah) will call down GREAT and HORRIFIC destruction on Gog's host and deliver the nation of Israel from utter ruin. At the hand of Moses and Elijah...
This beyond amazing victory will cause Jews in the land and Gentile nations to FULLY comprehend that Almighty God is GOD and the God and protector of the people Israel (the apple of His eye) and that Israel went into captivity since 70 AD.because of their iniquity, unbelief and rebellion (Ezek. 39:6-7, 23). Most tragically, this will only harden unbelieving Israelites' hearts and they will now be ready to receive the beast which is to rise from the abyss and violently murder Almighty God's Two Messengers after the completion of the 1260-day ministry (Ezek 39:26, Rev. 11). This destruction at the hands of the Moses and Elijah will be so devastating that 5/6 of all of Gog's invading host will be destroyed and their dead bodies will be scattered upon the mountains and valleys in the land of Israel. It will take seven months to bury Gog's dead hordes and they will give a huge portion of Israel to bury Gog and his host (Ezek. 39:9-20).
Even after this massive invasion of Gog and his horrific destruction at the hand of Moses and Elijah (Almighty God's vessels) Israel will still not believe nor repent (Ezek. 39:25-26, Rev. 11:8)! They will know of a truth that Almighty God is the God of Israel (Ezek. 38: 39:7, 22), for they have seen His WONDROUS POWERFUL hand against Gog's invading armies and confederacy but they are not yet ready to repent and to say that Yeshua is the Messiah and the Lamb of Almighty God and receive the testimony of Almighty God's Two Witnesses, Moses and Elijah (Lev. 17:11-14, Isa. 53, John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4).
My dear friends hear me and hear me well, Almighty God is at total war with any (Jew or Gentile) who chooses to stay unrepentant, rebellious, and seeks to violate His ETERNAL established SPIRITUAL ABSOLUTES for ETERNITY and MORAL ABSOLUTES for time (John 3:36). The seven-year tribulation period is a time of PURE WRATH for the ungodly and all who remain unrepentant and hardened in their godless rebellion against ALL that is RIGHTEOUS and ABSOLUTE.
My dear friends hear me and hear me well. Almighty God is at total war with any (Jew or Gentile) who chooses to stay unrepentant, rebellious and seeks to violate His ETERNAL established SPIRITUAL ABSOLUTES for ETERNITY and MORAL ABSOLUTES for time.
Even after the Two Witnesses GREAT and STUPENDOUS victory over Gog's invading millions, Israel will still NOT let go of her secularism, godlessness, rebellion, and lawlessness and will continue to be hostile towards God's message of salvation that Yeshua IS the Savior of the World (Ezek. 39:25-26, Rev. 11:8). As Israel's unbelieving fathers have always done (Psalms. 78,106, Matt. 27: Acts 7), so will also these follow suit. Israel will now find that Almighty God has no other choice but to remove Israel's protective hedge (Ezek. 39:26, Matt. 24:15-21, Rev. 11:6-14) and allow Satan and his demonic human tool the Anti -Messiah to inflict HORRIFIC GREAT TRIBULATION upon Israel and the world (i,e., Jacob's trouble Jer. 30:4-8, 18). - (Dan. 9: 27, Matt. 24:15-21, Rev. 12:6-17, 13).
My dear Jewish friend, Yeshua (salvation) is the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world (Lev. 17:11-14, Isa. 53). He is the FULFILLMENT of the 10 commandments and the end of the Law to RIGHTEOUSNESS to all who believe (Rom. 10:2-4). Israel at present will not place their trust in Him and as the Holy Scripture teaches so very clearly she will go through GREAT tribulation and then receive her Messiah with bitter tears (Zech. 12:10-14).
Many out there in the Christian, blogosphere might be wondering why I am posting on this topic? The thought that might be ringing through people's heads being, "What does Randy Rhoads have to do with biblical Christianity or prophetic events?" Well… my dear friends let me fill you in... and be a little personal.

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 42 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 daily countless 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 opportunist 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 for just 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 opportunist industry and that has left a greater legacy than the genus 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 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 condemning them. If this was the case with Randy 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 whom 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 this 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 in 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 as 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 the 43rd anniversary of the tragedy of Randy’s death, 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 evaluated 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?
