Guest Speaker Major Amir Tsarfati: Bible Prophecy - God Gave It - Satan Hates It (video at link)
Note that in his timeline Psalm 83 prophecy has already come to pass. Isaiah 17 is next, and then Ezekiel 38.
His point, that Satan does not want you to believe Bible prophecy, is excellent; it explains why so many people don’t want to even hear about it. They believe woo-woo stuff, like psychics, but not the word of God.
[it explains why so many people don’t want to even hear about it. They believe woo-woo stuff, like psychics, but not the word of God.]
I’ve encountered that hatred with more than a couple in the church. Two, especially, come to mind.
Tanakh
Tanakh is an acronym of the three divisions of scripture.
Torah the Five Books of Moses
Nevi'im the Prophets
and Ketuvim the Writings
The prophets time is over
Luke 16:16 “The Torah and the prophets were until John (the baptist). Since that time the kingdom of ELoHIM has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it.
The Hebrew Sages say that everything that ever was or ever will be is in the Torah.
Ethics of the Fathers: Chapter Five
21. Ben Bag Bag would say: Delve and delve into it, for all is in it; see with it; grow old and worn in it; do not budge from it, for there is nothing better.
They are correct. They go on to say that the prophets and writings are extensions of Torah. Expounding.
Since the prophets ended with Yochanan the Immerser everything after his words in the B'rit Hadasha are Writings.
And these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketuvim
Paul was never a prophet so he can only comment on the Torah and Prophets.
Which brings us to...
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
Now what is Paul commenting on?
Glad you asked.
Job 1:10 Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
Psalm 89:40 You have broken down all his hedges; You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
Isaiah 5:5 And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.
Matthew 21:33 “Hear another parable: There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.
Oops,
Looks like the rapture crowd is going...
Revelation 2:20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.
Jezebel is false teaching
Ironically these guys can find the rapture on every hill and under every leafy tree but they can't find America in prophesy. How convinient!
There's no profit in the truth...
Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord As the waters cover the seabed.
Habakkuk 2:14 For the earth will be filled With the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, As the waters cover the seabead.
Guess they were left behind
I had a conversation with a Assembly of God pastor (back in the city) who related some interesting information. He stated that in order for you to be ordained by them you had to teach the rapture of the church. I suppose that’s why we’re seeing such a proliferation of this nonsense. Gee, I wonder what else they have to teach? That’s why these guys are talking in lipstep (lockstep). They’ve got a script.
The purpose of the great tribulation is for the salvation of Israel. God is pouring out his wrath on their ENEMIES.
The bride (one new man consisting of both Jews and gentiles) is taken out of the picture before God pours his wrath on Israel’s enemies and real believers are NOT Israel’s enemy and never have been.
Israeli believers are in Israel and everyone now knows who/what they are about and when they vanish it will be like a sign to the rest of them. Notice how the 144,000 get sealed right away .
Look at Revelation chapter three , John being called up to heaven is a picture of the rapture of the church.
Bride out = God shines his face back on the nation of Israel
Just because I believe in the rapture does not mean I believe we won’t see persecution here in the States.
Antichrist spirit is all around us already and it grows stronger by the day .
I am no Scholar, just a child in the search for truth. Those seeking for the timing of what they consider “the Rapture” only need to know one event to know when it comes. AT THE LAST TRUMP, they teach the book of Revelation, yet don’t know the order of things only wanting to be saved before they are tested.
