Did Zephaniah Read the Mayan 2012 Prophecy?

Posted by William Bell on December 24th, 2009

Zephaniah's World Destruction -2012?

Did Zephaniah Read the Mayan 2012 Prophecy? First, who was Zephaniah? He was ninth in the literary order of the minor prophets, the son of Cushi, and great-grandson of Hezekiah. (Zeph. 1:1) He prophesied in the days of Josiah, king of Judah (B.C. 641-610). He was also a contemporary of the prophet Jeremiah.

Zephaniah was an inspired prophet of God. He received his message from the Spirit of God. He prophesied that God would bring the world to an end.

I will utterly consume everything from the face of the land,” says the Lord; I will consume man and beast; I will consume the birds of the heavens, the fish of the sea, and the stumbling blocks along with the wicked. I will cut off man from the face of the land, says (more…)

The Acceptable Year of the Lord

Jubilee - Acceptable Year of the Lord 70 AD

The Acceptable Year of the Lord. A major failure of end times prophecy teaching is the inability to make the transition from national geo-centric Israel to spiritual Christo-centric Israel. It is the chief source from a biblical view for the support of Dispensational Zionism. Ultra-literalism describes their method of interpretation. Stephen Sizer points out that often when quoting texts, Dispensationalists supply their interpretation right in the text. (Zion’s Christian Soldier’s, p. 34)

For example, when Hal Lindsey writes of the holy place in Matthew 24:15, he adds the words [the rebuilt temple]. Yet, no where in verse 15 is there any indication of a rebuilt temple. In that verse, the subject is the destruction of Herod’s then existing temple of which Christ had just spoken particularly in (Matt. 23:37-38. 24:2). In other words, when using the gloves of scripture, “if it doesn’t fit, you must force it.”

The time for the fulfillment of the prophecy is the day of the Lord, i.e. in “that day.” When the day arrived God would sound the trumpet. Now, we ask, is this trumpet to be taken literally? If so, when did it sound? How did the nations as far away as Assyria (more…)

“Land Therapy” For Christian Zionists?

Posted by William Bell on December 10th, 2009

Land Therapy for Christian Zionists>

“Land Therapy” for Christian Zionists? What does this mean? It’s a kind of therapy that we recommend for those who do not believe God kept His word to give Israel the land promised to them in the Abrahamic Covenant. God made a promise to Abraham that he would give to his descendants the land of Canaan for a possession. He describes the land as follows:

“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates– “the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, “the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, “the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”(Gen. 15:18-21)

The time in which God promised the fulfillment of the promise names the fourth generation of Israel’s descendants. That brings us to the time of Moses and Joshua. “But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.” (Gen. 15:17).

God in his long-suffering and forbearance refused to remove the nations from the land undoubtedly hoping they would repent. However, their continued transgressions filled their “cup of iniquity.” By the time of the Exodus when the promise drew near, he (more…)

Did Christ Promise and Earthly Kingdom?

Posted by William Bell on November 11th, 2009

St Augustine's Commentary on THE SERMON ON THE...

Christ's Kingdom Mission

Did Christ promise an earthly kingdom? One of the big deceptions of Dispensationalism is its teaching that Christ came to establish an earthly political kingdom. They see the modern Zionist Israel as a key player in the fulfillment of kingdom prophecy. Here are reasons from the scriptures why Christ’s kingdom is present, spiritual and non-political.

The Kingdom of God Is At Hand

Christ announced that his kingdom had drawn near. Citing Daniel, he preached the kingdom of God saying, “The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe the gospel. (Mark 1:14-15) Daniel prophesied God’s time for the kingdom as the “days of these kings”, i.e. during the ancient Roman Empire, existing in the days of Christ. John the Baptist, preached during the reign of Tiberius (more…)

As In the Days of Noah – 10 Countdown Road Signs to Armageddon Past or Present?

Posted by William Bell on September 7th, 2009

10 Countdown Signs to Armageddon

We arrive at the last of John Hagee’s alleged 10 Road Signs to the End, the signs he believes and writes are the Countdown to imminent Armageddon. The last of these signs is based upon Jesus’ Old Testament reference to Noah and his generation’s experience of the flood. As in the Days of Noah – 10 Countdown Road Signs to Armageddon Past or Present?, suggests that we must answer the question of when the sayings of Noah applies.

As we noted before, Hagee once again appeals to Matthew 24 to make his case. The source of reference is the author’s “Beginning of the End,” a successfully marketed book which sold over a million copies.

The CUFI leader’s approach is a little bible text mixed in with newspaper headlines. This is always a bad sign of modern day would be prophets. When they mix the Bible with current events from the newspapers, it is a sure sign that what they speak or write as prophecy is nothing but very poor journalism.

The writer attempts to draw a correlative link between the wickedness of the people in the days of Noah to the murders, rapes, (more…)

What is Zionism and Who Is Anti Semitic? – A Three-Sided Coin

Posted by William Bell on September 4th, 2009

Gog and Magog Deceives the Nations

Acclaimed reporter and former Vietnam correspondent, Alan Hart, is the author of “Zionism The Real Enemy of the Jews, Volume One: The False Messiah. In the prologue titled “Waiting for the Apocalypse, p. 26, he cites staff writer Jane Lampman’s report in (Monitorworld, March 6-12, 2004).

Her report headlined: THE END OF THE WORLD: THE DEBATE HEATS UP. She wrote that “the interest in end-times prophecy has spread beyond their circles and is not only shaping people’s lives, but even influencing United States foreign policy. She referred to the minority of fundamentalist American Christians.

(CUFI) Christians United for Israel, lobbyist John Hagee’s video “Countdown to the Final End” lists his 10 reasons for believing that our generation will see the end of the world, even if it means a nuclear holocaust between the state of Israel and the Arab world. According to the back cover of his book, Jerusalem Countdown, such a catastrophe “will affect every person on planet earth.”

Many Christians, religious and non-Zionist Jews fear being labeled “anti-Semitic” for speaking out against the Zionist movement, (more…)

Do John Hagee’s “Earthquakes” Create Cracks in His 10 Road Signs of An Imminent End Time?

Earthquakes - Road Signs of the End?

We are into the ninth of the 10 alleged signs of an imminent end of the world. Many who believe in these signs will yet be disappointed. Some will lose faith and despair of hope. As their predecessors were so they are, disillusioned about so many false predictions of the end.

As we demonstrated throughout this series, most of Hagee’s arguments are drawn from or dovetail into Matthew 24. That is the undoing of his predictions. He offers yet another on his road to “no end time in our future.” So we must ask: “Do John Hagee’s Earthquakes Create Cracks in His 10 Road Signs of an Imminent End Time?

His first statement in Beginning of the End, The Terminal Generation page 98, concerning signs is true. “Earthquakes are another sign of the last days.” With that statement, we have no quarrel. Rather, it is the application made of it that is problematic. He uses them to predict a future end time which is imminent upon us. He is fond of saying that he can hear the footsteps of Jesus in the clouds. I guess the rest of us are deaf.

On the other hand, Christ promised that along with civil wars, famines, and pestilences, there would be “earthquakes” in (more…)

End Times Road Signs: When Were the Times of the Gentiles Fulfilled?

Posted by William Bell on August 21st, 2009

Times of the Gentiles

It is stated by some that Jerusalem will not be under Gentile rule in the terminal generation, a situation which had existed from A.D. 70 allegedly until the Six Day War of 1967. This is an argument assumed to be based on the text found in Luke 21:24.

The verse says “And they shall all fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations.And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

Today we respond to the fifth of Hagee’s 10 signs that we are headed for Armageddon with “End Times Road Signs: When Were the Times of the Gentiles Fulfilled?”

John Hagee’s Book Beginning of the End, Are We the Terminal Generation, (BOE) says that Gentile rule continued until the Six Day War of 1967. Following this statement, he adds that David predicted the Lord would rebuild Zion and appear in his glory there, (Psalms 102:6). His objective is to show that after Gentile rule has ended and Israel sets up their own sovereign state having banished the indigenous population and government of Palestine, that Christ will then return to Zion.

We addressed the issue of when Christ returns relative to the inheritance above. Here, we examine the text of Luke 21:24 and the (more…)

10 Road Signs to Armageddon – Israel Returns to the Land Before or After the Messiah Comes?

Posted by William Bell on August 20th, 2009

The Land of Abraham's Sojourn

This is our fourth installment John Hagee’s 10 Road Signs to Armageddon where he says the Jews will return home. According to Hagee, since the A.D. 70 destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans and their dispersion, they were without a homeland until 1948. See “Beginning of the End,” p. 93. He then cites Jeremiah 23:7-8, to prove that the Zionist’s seizure of land from the Palestinian Arabs fulfills Bible prophecy and prepares the way for the coming of the Messiah? Here is our study for today: 10 Road Signs to Armageddon – Israel Returns to the Land Before or After the Messiah Comes?

Does Hagee have the cart before the horse? Does he have the tail wagging the dog? In other words, does the Bible promise the inheritance of the land before the Messiah comes, or after that event? Hagee writes that Zionists have a biblical imperative to redeem the land. “Many religious Israelis are motivated by a biblical imperative to redeem the land of Israel for the Jews and (more…)

Arab, Egyptian, African and Babylonian Jews Met In Jerusalem for Pentecost

Posted by William Bell on August 16th, 2009

Schlomo Zand Upsets Zionists

Hundreds of thousands of the most devout men of Israel met to celebrate the a Jewish festival of Pentecost as required by the Law given to Moses. Attendees were Jews from a variety of nations. Among them were Jews from Iraq and Asia Minor (Turkey). Arab, Egyptian, African and Babylonian Jews met in Jerusalem at Pentecost for at a huge gathering. While there, they were addressed by a small delegation and an unexpected guest who’s appearance fulfilled a major Bible prophecy, (Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:16-20).

Earlier in the formulative history of Israel, God made an unexpected appearance to a gathering of nations who had united to build for themselves a tower to heaven. God purposely went down after seeing that the people all spoke one language. He then confounded their speech so that they could not understand one another. As a result, they separated from each other joined only by those who spoke a common language and were dispersed throughout the earth. They ceased building the tower as a result.

Following this event, God began to call out a new people from Ur of the Chaldees, (Babylon or modern day Iraq), through Abram,(Abraham) promising to make of him a great nation. That event was the tower of Babel. Men wanted to build a “local” earthly tower to (more…)
