The hour is late, the Tribulation sifting of those born again by faith in Jesus from the lost draws near. The redeemed know their Master’s voice and follow Him, John 10:27, and are “imitators of God as dear children” (Eph. 5:1), while the rebellious and unbelieving hear only their own voices and traditions of men that tell them what to believe. True spiritual discernment evades those who trust more in what they’re told to believe than the New Covenant written word of God in Christ.
At the Cross of Calvary have you with spiritual eyes of faith perceived that it was our rebellion, sins and His love that held Jesus on that Cross? Have you discerned that Jesus took our place of suffering God’s wrath? Has your spirit and heart been born again by true repentance, confession and faith unto eternal life? Have you discovered that true faith in Jesus’ shed blood washes away every stain of sin, rebellion and unbelief if we then continue in His word with faithful humility?
Let’s take a lesson from unbelieving Jews who rejected Jesus and literally called for His death. Exposing their evil hearts they preferred a convicted murderer and said “Away with this Man, [Jesus] and release to us Barabbas … [and then] Crucify Him, crucify Him!” (Luke 23:18, 21). Not content with their wicked judgment of Jesus who was rejected by His own, the unbelieving Jews “answered and said, “His blood be on us and on our children” (Matt. 27:25). They should have been careful for what they asked, but invited God’s wrath upon themselves for crucifying Jesus. And to this very day the religious ruling class of Jews of Israel hate the Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus’ Cross of Calvary is a place of brokenness, humility, love, repentance and confession, but millions of believers led by Dispensational Zionists seek solidarity and unity with unbelieving Jews of Israel, the people who yet today, despise the name of Jesus. The truth of that reality is horrible: professing believers, in unity with those who want Jesus dead and buried forever! It’s beyond repulsive that believers so mock the suffering of the Lord as to unite with the Jews who refuse to even speak the wonderful name of Jesus who’s been given all authority in heaven and on earth, Matt. 28:18. What Bible are Dispensational Christians reading, because my Bible says that Jesus quite justly named post-Calvary unbelieving Jews of Israel “a synagogue of Satan” (Rev. 2:9 and Rev. 3:9). And for believers to shrug that off and find solidarity with those Jesus called “a synagogue of Satan” is not just spiritually revolting, but clearly reveals that they stand in judgment against the Lord Jesus, preferring traditions of men to unite them with unbelievers!
True believers of Jesus cherish with all humility the work of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary; they teach and defend His teachings according to Matt. 28:20; they don’t reason away Jesus teachings as not applicable to believers; they don’t stand in judgment of Jesus who suffered Calvary. I call you in the love of Christ to consider carefully the Dispensational lies that are causing millions of believers to unite with “a synagogue of Satan”. In the words of the prophet: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isa. 5:20). Why would any true believer so reject God’s word?
Additionally, God said “Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also” (1 John 2:22–23). Unbelieving religious Jews of Israel deliberately deny Jesus Christ God’s Son. They are liars and the truth is not in them. They are “antichrist” exactly as God’s word says. Yet, tens of millions of Zionist Christians find unity and solidarity with them as though we are one. It’s an abomination and lie which comes from the father of lies, the Devil himself. Dispensational Zionism has deceived countless tens of millions.
As I’ve often reminded readers, God’s command is very clear: “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them” (Eph. 5:11). But what do those tens of millions of Zionist believers do instead? Flatly rejecting God’s command, they find unity and solidarity with that which God forbids, honoring unbelieving Christ-hating Jews more than the word of God in Christ. All this is a direct reflection of how little Zionist Christians feel about the Cross of Calvary. They readily discard truth in order to satisfy the status quo of Dispensational traditions of men “making God’s word of no effect” (Mark 7:13). They literally unite with the Devil, because it was Jesus who said unbelieving Jews of Israel are “a synagogue of Satan”.
What does the Cross of Calvary mean to you? Is it for sale or trade? Is it equal to Judaism, the utterly false religion of unbelieving Jews who literally mock the Lord Jesus Christ? Is it okay to ignore specific commands of God in order to stay in the good graces of Dispensational traditions of men that nullify Jesus’ testimony on numerous issues? No, it’s not! Yet, millions do just that. The Holy Spirit warned: “Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; [God divorced O.T. Israel] but toward you, goodness, [God’s continuing call of true Jews] if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off” (Rom. 11:22). [My emphasis] God divorced rebellious Israel; He can also divorce rebellious N.T. believers.
And very importantly, do you know the reason why Jesus called unbelieving Jews of Israel “a synagogue of Satan”? Answer: because they “blaspheme … [saying] they are Jews and are not” (Rev. 2:9); and again Jesus said of them “who say they are Jews and are not, but lie” (Rev. 3:9); all of which wholly validates in truth the Holy Spirit saying by the apostle Paul “For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh; but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God” (Rom. 2:28–29). Unbelieving Jews of Israel convince the unbelieving world and millions of Christians that they’re Jews, but in the sight of God in Christ they “are not, but lie”, because God’s true Jews are described at Rom. 2:28–29. Now, the Devil doesn’t like that truth at all and that’s why his deceptions have convinced many that unbelieving Jews of Israel are still God’s chosen people, but they are not. Read 1 Peter 2:9–10 to confirm.
Again, what does the Cross of Calvary mean to you? Is it to be united with unbelieving Jews who openly mock Jesus Christ and deliberately blaspheme His name? Did Christ give us His New Testament laws to be ignored? God commands “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God” (2 Cor. 6:14–16). Who will you honor – Christ-hating Jews, or God in Christ Jesus?
I have come to realize that it’s not only the violence and wickedness of the unbelieving world’s rejection of God and His Christ that brings catastrophic destructions of the Tribulation to sift the true believers from unbelievers, but it’s also due to the rebellion of Christians who say they love and honor God in Christ, but their actions speak in witness against their confession. They do not protect the commands of God in Christ and His Holy Spirit in order to sustain the traditions of Dispensationalism that subvert Christ’s commands and teachings to the arbitration of men more interested in the praise of men than the praise of God, Rom. 2:28–29. It’s their safety zone. It’s their feel-good zone. It’s their money-making zone. They even make the Cross of no effect.
As I’ve often said, unbelieving religious Jews of Israel hate the very mention of the name of Jesus Christ. And Jesus gave His apostles and us believers a very specific command about such people. Jesus commanded about the preaching of the gospel saying, “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). Millions of believers know that the nation of Israel has heard the good news of the gospel, but remains vehemently anti-Christ. Yet, millions of believers seek unity and solidarity with the people Jesus told believers to “shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them”. The rebellious reject that for the praise of men.
Lastly today, deceivers want the world to believe that the term Judeo-Christian (popularized in the early 1930’s) is valid in uniting unbelieving Jews of Israel with evangelical Christians. But it’s an unrepentant lie. Without Jesus Christ there is absolutely no communion between Judaism and the Christian religion. None! Period! But church leaders in solidarity with unbelieving Jews insist the world believes their lie. And speeches like this fuels the fire: “We’re descendants from the original Hebrews of the Holy Land. And we are the first part of that Judeo-Christian heritage, which we cherish and which has given the world, the civilization, freedom and faith. And, again, we have to stand up and defend it. It’s under attack from the rising tide of antisemitism and anti-Evangelicalism. It’s not accidental that the two are coming under a joint attack, because we are one. And what I ask you is only one thing. Stand up. Stand up and don’t cower. When you’re faced with an attack, what do you do? Attack back. That’s all. That’s my long speech. And I’m very grateful to you for your consistent support, for the constancy of your friendship. And now it’s time to fight, fight, fight, that’s it.” (Benjamin Netanyahu) This is Israel’s propaganda and millions of Christians, deceived by Dispensationalism, have bought it, hook, line and sinker!
I can only pray that you hear and discern the lies coming from PM Benjamin Netanyahu saying of Judaism and Christianity that “It’s not accidental that the two are coming under a joint attack, because we are one.” He is a certified liar! Like I said above, without Jesus Christ there is simply no communion between Judaism and Christianity! And if any professing Christian believes that they’re “one” with unbelieving Jews of Israel, that person needs to revisit his or her relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, because such a person has instead been utterly deceived by the lying propaganda undergirding the Judeo-Christian deceptive lie, now only aged a mere 90 years.
“For the time will come [we’re there] when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables” (2 Tim. 4:3–4).
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.
