God revealed to me many years ago, and was again reinforced just recently through His word and warnings of the Holy Spirit, that many believers would reject vital end-time truths of God’s word I teach in thefridayletter.com due to Darby’s and Scofield’s Dispensational indoctrination. Jesus Himself experienced such rejection and He warned His followers that if they took up their cross and followed Him, they too would be rejected by many. So I’m not surprised of the same.
All religions have a hierarchy of leadership. The Jewish leaders of Christ’s day were called Pharisees and Sadducees. The leadership of Judaism today consists in Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and Hassidic Jewish sects. There may be others. But taken altogether their unbelief and denial of Jesus Christ still remains as it was 2,000 years ago. The point I’m making is that what leadership teaches, instructs or mandates, flows down to all its subjects. Thus, the population of Israel’s religious Jewish citizens is also in unbelief of Jesus Christ, it’s not limited to leadership. The same principle applies to Christian leadership. What the leadership of every denomination establishes as its traditions and doctrines by default becomes the defining terms and flow-down beliefs that church denominations mandate for would-be followers. Again, those beliefs are not limited to the leadership. In simplistic terms it’s true that “As goes the head so goes the body.”
“It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4 and Luke 4:4). And Jesus speaking to large crowds of followers said “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you who do not believe … From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more” (John 6:63–66). [My emphasis] Here we see the majority walked away from Christ because He taught what His followers didn’t want to hear. That truth remains the same today as tens of millions of Zionists desire to be in unity with unbelieving Jews of Israel despite what Jesus taught because Dispensational Zionism persuaded them to believe a different gospel. Jesus taught very clearly about unbelieving Jews of Israel, but the great majority of Zionists in rebellion exchange Christ’s truths for Dispensational heresies.
I’ve never measured my writings by popularity or number of reader hits, but by what the Holy Spirit puts on my heart to write and teach, which is to defend the words of my Savior the Son of God. But many believers resist that, especially concerning the lies that unbelieving Jews of Israel are still God’s chosen people and the false pre-trib rapture. They believe those lies only because Dispensational Zionism tells them to. And those beliefs, dear friends, openly defy Jesus and His teachings. It’s imperative that we believe Jesus’ teachings about unbelieving Jews of Israel. The gospel came first to them, but in hostility they openly rejected the gospel. Today, many accuse me of hostility toward unbelieving Jews because I teach what Christ taught of them. I always give biblical references for that teaching. I don’t make this stuff up, never have and never will.
The word of God sifts said believers from true believers. Said believers want to believe that they can believe whatever they want and still gain eternal life. But salvation unto eternal life will be on God’s terms, not on man’s terms. Salvation in Christ is exclusive and doesn’t include anyone who rejects the truths of Jesus Christ the Father’s only begotten Son. Unbelieving religious Jews of Israel, like the Muslims of Islam, reject Jesus Christ as God’s Son. And that fact causes a most inconvenient truth for Dispensational Zionism which panders to and extols the Jews of Judaism.
How can a Christian ignore God’s word? That’s a rhetorical question and the point. A true Christian doesn’t. However, many want to be named a Christian, but on their terms as they’ve been taught to believe traditions of men more than the teachings of Christ. On the other hand there’s the true Christian that is so on God’s terms. Only the latter leads to eternal life while the former and majority simply wear a Christian mask of tradition. The problem is not God’s word, but those pretending to be Jesus’ followers, yet with offense reject the written truths of Christ, which today regards the unbelieving Jews of Israel and the biblically false pre-trib rapture.
The remnant of true believers of Christ in these end-times are indeed few. The Holy Spirit said “Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: ‘Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, [countless millions] the remnant [only a few] will be saved’” (Rom. 9:27). Do you hear? “Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, the remnant will be saved.” Only “the remnant will be saved”. Not all who claim to be Israel are Israel, for God said “they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham” (Rom. 9:6–7). Likewise, the Son of God also said “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven” (Matt. 7:21). Of unbelieving Jews of Israel, Jesus identified them, but very few today actually believe what Jesus said which is likely part of the great end-time “delusion” God sends them, 2 Thess. 2:11. But though millions try, they won’t escape God’s most inconvenient truths.
Remnant – “a remaining, usually small part, quantity, number, or the like – a fragment or scrap – a trace; vestige.” (Source) God’s Spirit tells us that, post-Calvary “Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace” (Rom. 11:5). Do you know who that true “remnant” is? It’s those who actually believe and put into practice the words and teachings of God in Christ, and not those who look for other ways around the teachings of God’s Son. So, when Jesus said of unbelieving Jews “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do” (John 8:44); and further convicted them as “a synagogue of Satan” (Rev. 2:9 and Rev. 3:9), because they “say they are Jews and are not but lie” calling to mind the new birth of salvation truths at Rom. 2:28–29, then why do many Christians disbelieve? Those words are not mine, but are of God’s Son. I’m just God’s Spirit-filled minister teaching truths of Jesus Christ. But the majority reject me for being honest enough to teach the truths that Jesus Himself taught about unbelieving Jews of Israel. Why? Because it’s a most inconvenient truth.
I’m not antisemitic in any sense of the word, but if you think I am, as apparently many falsely believe, and according to one reader even told a friend of mine that I “may be in the camp of Hasan Piker”, a radical and ungodly socialist, then what do you call Jesus Christ? Because I’m simply Jesus’ minister, unafraid to defend my Lord and Savior. Really, what do you call Jesus if you find my teaching wrong though it’s what Christ Himself taught? How can the love of Christ be in one who denies the teachings of Jesus? That’s also a rhetorical question. Who is your pearl of priceless worth, Jesus Christ or unbelieving Jews of Israel? Who died for your salvation, Jesus or unbelieving Jews of Israel who revile Him? Come now, you who say you’re Christians, yet by demonstration exchange the truths of God in Christ for evil unbelief according to Dispensational Zionism that denies the witness of God and His Christ. Ah, one is indeed on a very slippery slope spiritually who defends unbelieving Jews being “a synagogue of Satan”, instead of Jesus Christ.
Jesus said of unbelieving Jews: “Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch” (Matt. 15:14). Believers finding solidarity and unity with unbelievers is spiritually wrong given our command to “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them” (Eph. 5:11). In Dispensational fervor one ignores the Spirit’s command to “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? [All rhetorical questions] 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). Zionist unity and solidarity with unbelieving Jews will have spiritually horrible results when the seven-year Tribulation begins, read Matt. 24:10.
Jesus taught, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels” (Mark 8:34–38). [My emphasis] God is absolutely right that only “the remnant will be saved”. That means few which affirms Jesus’ teaching to “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matt. 7:13–14).
As I’ve taught for many years, there is no secret rapture. It’s a delusional lie that’s been foisted upon Western churches by the wicked works of Darby and Scofield who openly reject teachings of the Son of God. Only the foolish in rebellion believe the secret pre-trib rapture narrative. The resurrection rapture, being the gathering of Jesus’ “elect” occurs “at the last day” (John 6:40, 44, 54). Martha, the sister of Lazarus, mourning her brother’s death, listened and learned from Jesus saying “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day” (John 11:24). Jesus said He gathers His elect “Immediately after the tribulation” (Matt. 24:29–31), not before as the pre-trib rapture claims. There are many other Scriptures that fully support Christ’s post-trib rapture. But in their Dispensational fervor and unbelief, churches will experience a great falling away.
The same two men, J.N. Darby (1800–1882) and C.I. Scofield (1843–1921), who gave you the unbiblical and demonstrably evil pre-tribulation rapture, also gave you the evil Dispensational poison that unbelieving Jews of Israel are still God’s chosen people in denial that the Holy Spirit said by Peter about true Christians, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy” (1 Per 2:9–10). [My emphasis] Yet, one who believes the Dispensational heresy and propaganda that unbelieving Jews of Israel are still God’s chosen people literally throws this and many other affirming Scriptures to the wind.
One of the many problems in the church today is that few have the spiritual integrity to pursue the narrow gate and difficult way Jesus taught, desiring instead the easy road of the majority that satisfies unbelievers, be they Jew or Gentile. Know this of an absolute truth: true Jews are born again believers and followers of Jesus Christ and His gospel truths, Rom. 2:28–29, and religious unbelieving Jews of Israel are exactly what Jesus said, “a synagogue of Satan”. Choose who you will believe, Jesus or Dispensational Zionism, you cannot believe both. “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways” (James 1:6–8). It’s an undeniable fact that the Dispensational spiritual poisons of J.N. Darby and C.I. Scofield have caused countless millions to reject Christ’s truths.
God made it very clear “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Gal. 6:7). If one sows to unbelieving, Jesus-denying Jews of Israel, one shall also reap the same. That’s God’s promise, not mine. I’m not your judge, God is your Judge and mine. But as for me and my house we will serve the Lord God in Christ and not a people whom God very openly divorced for rebellion, idolatry and spiritual harlotry, Jer. 3:8. You must decide who your God is: Jesus Christ or the false corrupt messaging of John Darby and Cyrus Scofield. Jesus warned of the end-times that “many false prophets will rise up and deceive many” (Matt. 24:12). Two of those are J.N. Darby and C.I Scofield as they poisoned the gospel with another.
“The rapture doctrine isn’t just wrong. It’s obscenely, blasphemously wrong. It tells comfortable Western Christians they have special insider information that the martyrs somehow missed. That they, the debt-drowned, obese, entertainment-addicted church, will be spared what the faithful in Ukraine, Nigeria, Syria, China, and Iran are living right now.” (Source) “God sends the delusion because they did not receive the love of the truth. They loved comfort more than Christ. They loved ease more than obedience. They loved escapism more than solidarity with the suffering church. And so God gives them over to their delusion, and when the tribulation actually comes, they fall away because their faith was built on sand, on fantasy, on a promise God never made.” “The Western church has created a Jesus in its own image: a Jesus who cares about your credit score, your vacation plans, and your retirement portfolio. A Jesus who would never let His people suffer. A Jesus who is essentially a divine butler, delivering comfort on demand and extracting you before the real trouble starts.” These are several deceits of the pre-trib rapture.
The question is not, “Are you rapture ready?”, but “Are you Tribulation ready?” Jesus said, “But he who endures to the end shall be saved” (Matt. 24:13). It’s those who unwaveringly believe the Lord Jesus by true faith and prepare in His testimony who will endure to the end. Nations of this world are steeped in unbelief, sin, corruption and rebellion against God and His Christ. There was never a more appropriate time for this prophetic truth than right now: “Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us” (Psa. 2:1–3). That’s exactly what rulers of nations do, none are exempt. God’s true born again believers must be wise according to God’s word and not according to evil Dispensational wisdom of this world. Prepare for Antichrist’s Tribulation.
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.
