Discern the end-time distractions, deceptions and lies which have all multiplied in our Dan. 12:4 age of increased knowledge which increased since Israel was reborn in 1948. We can’t trust any governments of this world, especially not Israel, a nation rejecting the gospel. Israel, seizing on and exploiting false Dispensational Theology taught by deceived pastors that unbelieving Jews are still God’s chosen people, has gained the favor of many churches, and gained hundreds of millions of tithe dollars which helps fund Israel’s unbelief and rebellion. Illicit tithe money is also helping to fund Israel’s third temple efforts wherein the Antichrist will sit, 2 Thess. 2:4.
It was Jesus who rebuked the religious Jewish leaders of His day, saying, “When it is evening you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red’; and in the morning, ‘It will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening.’ Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times” (Matt. 16:2–3). Our generation is the same.
The way US government leaders, Zionists and the Israel First crowd bow down to unbelieving Jews in Israel, one could think that Christians are one in heart, mind, spirit and soul with them. But that’s altogether false. It’s not a matter of a minor disagreement between Christianity and unbelieving Jews of Judaism, there is a vast gulf between the two! True Christians are saved by grace through faith in Christ and are descendants of Abraham, Gal. 3:29, and heirs according to the promise of the New Jerusalem. Unbelieving Jews not only reject but have an age-old hatred for Jesus Christ, and unless they repent of their unbelief and accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah, they disinherit eternal life and forsake eternal access to the city of New Jerusalem. Maranatha!
And we believers owe Israel nothing except to preach the gospel and “make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen” (Matt. 28:19–20). But Israel rejects Christ as it did 2,000 years ago, and Jesus commanded that “whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!” (Mark 6:11). Consider that. Yet, many deceived pastors celebrate unbelieving Israel in its wicked unbelief.
It’s a prominent belief that Israel drew the US into its end-time war with Iran. And though I’m not a prophet I’ll tell you US leaders followed Israel’s dictates and it will be devastating in many ways. This war will indeed go global. And don’t allow yourself to be led by Israel’s propaganda, but keep yourself in the gospel of Christ without influence of Israel and her deceived US puppet pastors, because it will lead you into deceptions where you do not want to be. Now is the time to separate from all things anti-Christ of which the nation state of Israel is chief. If you remain in an Israel First church, you may be among those who “will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another” (Matt. 24:10). It’s not Christ’s will that you end up there, and there’s yet time to escape Dispensational lies, distractions and deceptions. Beware, for many are deceived.
And sadly, among those deceived is our US President Donald Trump who adheres to Zionist preachers, including his own heretical spiritual advisor, Pastor Paula White. That our president gives ear to the likes of Paula White as his White House spiritual counselor, is proof sufficient that he doesn’t know biblical right from wrong. He listens to one who herself is deceived as she brain-washes the biblically ignorant and non-discerning. But that’s very common in these end-times as many celebrity pastors don’t speak God’s truths, but preach the lusts of their own flesh.
And then there’s President Trump’s son-in-law, Orthodox Jew Jared Kushner, who very likely fuels the fires among Zionists that the unbelieving Jews of Israel are still God’s chosen people, despite God giving Israel “a certificate of divorce” (Jer. 3:8). Zionists will never mention that truth because it completely destroys their Israel First narrative. Trump believes Zionists rather than God because he doesn’t know God’s word. He declared “Peace and Safety” (1 Thess. 5:3) regarding Middle East peace when he and Kushner created the 2020 Abraham Accords without knowing that “then sudden destruction comes upon them as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.” Further, it’s apparent that Israel destroyed Gaza for its own ungodly selfish motives with US blessing. Gaza was the home of Palestinians for centuries before Israel was even reborn as a nation. What Israel did is a crime before God. Watch this 16-minute video.
Like President Trump, Jared Kushner is a billionaire, and owns the skyscraper located at 666 Fifth Ave, New York, NY which he purchased in 2007, the same year God called me to begin writing and defending biblical end-time truths. It’s obvious that Israel destroyed Gaza, driving Palestinians off the land where they lived for centuries which is being bulldozed for the creation of a world class resort, a vision that both President Trump and Jared Kushner have in common and shared with the world. But it’s a wicked, selfish vision of pain, suffering and destruction of others to benefit the rich. While Kushner is not the Antichrist he’s being used in ways to ascend Antichrist to his end-time role. And now that the US-Israel war against Iran has begun “war will continue until the end” (Dan. 9:26 NIV). Diplomats talk of peace and safety, but it eludes them.
Repeat a lie often enough and it can become accepted as truth. That’s how the pre-trib rapture came to be believed as truth. Pastors exchanged what Jesus said for traditions of men and then twisted Scripture to make it say what it never said. They deceive the ignorant of an easier way to heaven through assumptions and conjecture of a pre-trib rapture. But when Scripture is given its authority one discovers the deceits of the pre-trib lie. The rapture occurs at “the resurrection of the dead” (John 5:28–29), when “the dead in Christ are raised” (1 Thess. 4:16), “Immediately after the tribulation” (Matt. 24:29–31), “at the last day” (John 6:40, 44, 54), “at the last trumpet” (1 Cor. 15:51–52), when “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Rev. 11:15). Also discern Heb. 9:28b.
When given the choice people tend to choose the easier of two paths, especially if one is more difficult than another. Jesus warned of this choice: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate [the easier way] and broad is the way that leads to destruction, [the path of unbelief leading to hell] and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way [life threateningly difficult] which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matt. 7:13–14). [My bold emphasis] But John Nelson Darby (1800–1882), a distressed preacher that Jesus and church fathers taught that believers will endure the Tribulation, then had his own epiphany that believers will be raptured pre-tribulation. And Dispensational Theology was born, promising a much easier way to heaven. And the eagerly blinded, non-discerning masses drank the cool-aid as it were. Darby’s epiphany of the flesh was manipulated, spun and twisted by theologians and pastors for many decades, becoming accepted as the truth in nearly every evangelical church.
Paul to the Galatian church: “I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed” (Gal. 1:6–9), a very fitting word for our day. There are two perversions that are destroying the testimony of Christ and His Holy Spirit: The pre-trib rapture (see the 9th paragraph above) and the Israel Fist agenda where believers think that unbelieving Jews are still God’s chosen people. Both have, and continue to cause, rebellion against Christ.
The Holy Spirit commanded to “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” (2 Tim. 2:15). Rightly dividing the word of God’s truths in Christ Jesus has never been more important, and one does that when we affirm, validate, teach and defend God’s written word, and not a dream epiphany of man that contradicts God’s word, nor by protecting and enforcing traditions of men that make “the word of God of no effect” (Mark 7:13). The Israel First agenda and pre-trib rapture both example not rightly dividing the word of truth by perverting the gospel with deceits and traditions of men who twist the gospel to earn favor with unbelieving Jews, and protecting self-preservation desires of an easier path to heaven. Belonging to Christ teaches His teachings, never seeking another way.
My second book “ON EAGLES’ WINGS” explains in detail how to know Christ and find God’s Bozrah sheepfold of safety and place of provision for the last 1,260 days of the great tribulation.
