In love for truth and faith, knowing the price Jesus Christ paid on the Cross, you would assume that anyone professing to be a true Christian would with all their heart, mind, soul and strength promote, teach and defend the testimony of Jesus for the end-times. But that assumption would be just that: an assumption. Because the reality is definitely the opposite. The large majority of Western professing believers of Jesus, due to false teachers, have exchanged the truths of Jesus for outright lies and traditions of men “making the word of God of no effect” (Mark 7:13).
The end-time witness and testimony of the Lord Jesus has never been more important than right now, for this world is very near the beginning of Antichrist’s 7-year tribulation and subsequent resurrection rapture and return of Christ. But with all the noise and chaff of false teachings and distracting issues, many believers are blind to many end-time truths. Many exchanged the truth for lies. That’s not being harsh, but reality. Jesus is “the truth” (John 14:6). And Jesus said He gathers His elect “Immediately after the tribulation” (Matt. 24:29–31). The “elect” are His true believers. But the majority of Western Christians have been deceived to believe the wicked pre-trib rapture lie by teachers and preachers of Darby’s and Scofield’s creation. They defy Christ!
If you’re a true Christian, you are one of Christ’s “elect”. The New Testament is replete in that truth. But if you believe the pre-trib rapture you in effect deny the testimony of Jesus. You will either believe the testimony of Jesus and prepare accordingly or exchange it for the corrupt lie of false pre-trib rapture teachers. You can’t have it both ways. It’s one or the other. The Lord Jesus’ testimony prepares you to endure to the end of the age, but the pre-trib rapture narrative prepares you for absolutely nothing that’s coming. Read Matt. 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13 and all the many, many other corresponding Scriptures that support the testimony of Jesus. Don’t ignore the truths of Jesus. Unbelief of Jesus’ post-trib rapture, Matt. 24, and that post-Calvary believers are God’s chosen people, 1 Peter 2:9–10, have both served to defy and nullify the words of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said of unbelieving Jews of Israel: “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it” (John 8:44). What Christian in their right mind would want to identify with that? Read Matt. 23:13–36. Jesus continued His rebuke of unbelieving Jews after His ascension to His Father, and said: “I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan” (Rev. 2:9). Who wants to identify with that? Christ followed that with another confirmation: “Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you” (Rev. 3:9). [My emphasis] Again, do you believe Jesus? Yes? Then on what basis would any true Christian being of right heart, mind and spirit, say that unbelieving Jews of Israel are still God’s chosen people and agree with Zionist pastors who have deceived countless millions of unsuspecting professing believers? It’s utter rebellion!
I tell you in the love of Christ, every professing believer had better consider this in all spiritual sobriety, because Zionism is almost daily in national news cycles parading its false narratives of how unbelieving Jews of Israel not only have the right, but are encouraged to ravage and destroy the Palestinian people and drive them off their land! Do you think God does not see? Do you think the cries of Palestinian believers who have suffered the murders of husbands, wives and children haven’t reached the ears of God in Christ? You better believe God sees and hears! The innocent blood of Palestinian brothers and sisters in Christ cries out from the ground as did the innocent blood of Abel who was murdered by his brother Cain! You say you love and believe Jesus? Yes? Then for the love of God, how can you support such ungodly cruelty against the witness and testimony of Jesus Christ? See this video. This is a crime before the Lord God!
I call your attention to the teachings of Jesus that unbelieving Jews of Israel are “a synagogue of Satan” (Rev. 2:9 and Rev. 3:9). Jesus said that because they say they are Jews and are not but lie. That reflects directly on the fact that unbelieving Jews of Israel are not Jews in the sight of God, confirmed by Rom. 2:28–29: “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.” The Spirit describes here conversion and new birth of John 3:3, 5–7, by which one becomes a true Jew in God’s sight. But your evangelical Dispensational church will never teach you that truth as it will destroy its Dispensational and Zionist narrative that creates hundreds of millions of tithe dollars for them and for unbelieving Jews of Israel, not to mention the benefits to corrupt governments.
So, given the truth that our Lord and Savior identified unbelieving Jews of Israel “a synagogue of Satan”, by what authority does any professing Christian find solidarity and unity with them? I call your attention once again to seriously consider this, because every Christian who finds unity and solidarity with unbelieving Israel is totally complicit in the murders of innocent Palestinians. The time, money and efforts believers contribute to unbelieving Jews of Israel makes them guilty of sharing in the genocidal murders of Palestinians for which Israel and the U.S. are responsible. Do you or any professing believer want to come before Jesus on the Day of Judgment with that on your record? I don’t think so. Is the word of the Lord Jesus not worth defending and teaching at any and all costs? Yes, it is! My ministry is built on His truths. As for me and my house, I am standing by Christ’s truths and not any popular, anti-Christ, people-pleasing traditions of men.
Many Palestinian Christians are being murdered by Israel’s IDF, which is being funded in part by Zionist churches. In this context be reminded that Jesus said “Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him” (1 John 3:15). Christ also taught about lying. “Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22). This describes unbelieving Jews of Israel who vehemently deny Jesus is God’s Son. And the Holy Spirit warns of such liars saying, “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” (Rev. 21:8). [My emphasis] These are all signs of the prophetically declared end-times.
A very important revelation in this issue is not how many Christians support Israel, but how many Christians support and defend the end-time testimony of Jesus Christ. When you look at that statistic the results are shocking. Jesus takes a back seat by the count of tens of millions of Western believers. Consider this glaring revelation: Islamic nations and the nation of Israel all equally and vehemently deny that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Both Islam and Judaism flatly deny Christ. Both are destined for hell unless they repent and believe with the heart and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and that God raised Jesus from the dead. Jesus strongly said that no one comes to His Father except through Him, John 14:6. Yet, tens of millions of believers have taken sides, in partiality mind you. They pander to unbelieving Jews of Judaism, but revile unbelieving Islam, though both are fully anti-Christ. They practice partiality. God addressed that. Ten verses in the New Testament address illegal partiality: “but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors” (James 2:9). Thus, in their partiality they commit sin.
Jesus said “My sheep hear My voice, [does that include you?] and I know them, and they follow Me. [Do you follow Jesus?] And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him” (John 10:27–31). [My emphasis] That same spirit of death to Jesus from 2,000 years ago remains the same in the hearts of the religious ruling elite of unbelieving Jews of Israel to this very day! The gospel of Jesus Christ is vehemently rejected! Yet, the unbelieving Jews of Israel are the ones Zionists desire to find solidarity and unity with! Literally tens of millions of Zionists are in that camp, pandering to, encouraging, financing and declaring that those unbelieving Jews are still God’s chosen people, all while God’s Spirit says the exact opposite, read 1 Peter 2:9–10 and know that God is speaking to New Covenant, born again believers. The Dispensational Zionist Movement reeks of openly defying God’s word.
If you profess to be one of Jesus’ sheep according to John 10:27–31, then you will teach and defend His word concerning unbelieving Jews of Israel and never oppose it. But if you stand in solidarity with unbelieving Jews of Israel you effectively pick up stones to stone Him as did the unbelieving Jews of Israel. Unbelieving Jews of Israel serve the Devil by their millennia-old denial of Jesus. True believers serve the Lord Jesus. You cannot serve both. We don’t live under the Old Testament Law by which God gave Israel “a certificate of divorce” (Jer. 3:8), but under the New Covenant law of salvation by grace through faith, honoring the shed blood of Jesus for the remission of our sins. But unbelieving Jews of Israel revile that truth. Therefore, what basis does any believer have to find unity with unbelieving Jews of Israel? None! In fact, God’s Holy Spirit said “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them” (Eph. 5:11). But Zionists celebrate unbelieving Jews, and openly rebel against Jesus Christ!
Think clearly and be led by the Holy Spirit and God’s New Covenant word. A believer rebels against Christ by favoring the Jews to whom the gospel has gone, but yet reject the Messiah’s salvation truths. Remember Jesus’ command to all who take the gospel abroad: “And 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). The gospel went to the Jews, but they defiantly reject it. I’m standing by Christ’s truths. With whom do you stand? We will either stand with Jesus and His word, or against His word as Dispensational Zionism demands. Which will it be? You can’t do both. If you side with unbelieving Jews of Israel then you show partiality to and literally mock Christ and His word, which is to side with the works of Satan!
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.
