No Comment New Heavens and Earth Isaiah 65:17
As we continue our study of the Confusing Worlds of Futurism, we examine the new heavens and earth of Isaiah 65:17f. The new people of God who were yet to created in a generation clearly beyond that of Moses and the Prophets is the subject. In fact, many believe that the new creation has not yet arrived.
However, so that there is no mistake about which generation was meant, Isaiah sets up the historic and chronological parameter for the fulfillment of his prophecy. Paul, in his letter to the Romans concurs with the same, quoting directly ...

No Comment Ultra Zionists
Ultra Zionists refer to the documentary by Louis Theroux to shed light on the political zionist state of Israel. He documents the illegal settlements in Israel by those who believe they have a God given right to the land in Israel forever. This is the same argument John Hagee, a "Christian Zionist"uses to defend the actions of Ultra Zionists.
The main problem that many face in understanding Zionism is the failure to distinguish between religious zionists, political zionists and Biblical zionists. This is an attempt to bring about clarity in distinguishing these views.
Religious Zionism is the teaching of Judaism. This is ...
"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, ...

Caught between a temple rock and a hard place? This best describes the campaign of "Christian Zionists" who support the rebuilding of a Jewish temple in Palestine. Tracing its history before 1948, the idea of rebuilding a temple in Jerusalem met opposition from Christians and Jews. Thomas Ice and Randall Price write: "It is a legitimate enterprise for the fulfillment of the Jewish religious hope and an important steppingstone to the realization of the Christian destiny." (1)
This statement implies that the Jewish hope and Christian destiny (i.e. Christian hope) are not the same. Paul's defense before Agrippa affirmed that his ...

The forecast for real estate in Israel, bleak.
Home prices plummet, communities vacated, be left
empty, major job losses and added to the all
this, the ruin of holy temple and capital city.
Yes, life would change drastically and fast. Yet,
it is not without warning. Signs are everywhere
of a coming invasion. As usual messengers are
ignored.
Israel cannot avert it. Trust in allies fail.
Corruption prevails and deception swells like a
widening storm.
Chaos reigns in the streets. People are given
false hope. False Messiah with promises of
peace pervade the landscape.
Trade and commerce come to a screeching halt. Merchants near and far suffer from the economic meltdown of ...
