I Love Israel: 2,000-Year-Old Discovery in Israel Reveals Lost Community

While the rest of the world has been busy with political, economic and military developments, something very tremendous happened recently in Israel, and it is about a 2,000-year-old discovery that reveals a lost community and it further proves the Jewish heritage in the Holy Land is real, according to a news article by CBN News. The discovery is also a reminder about John’s baptisms.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the CBN News article. Some parts in boldface.

A 2,000-year-old archaeological marvel has been unearthed in southern Israel, revealing a mysterious community lost to time and the latest proof of the ancient Jewish connection to the Holy Land.

The major discovery took place in Kiryat Gat, near the site of the ancient Philistine city of Gath, where Goliath came from.

The find, a mikveh ritual immersion pool, provides evidence of a Jewish community that remained in the region following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD and persisted until the Bar Kokhba revolt – the final Jewish rebellion against the Roman Empire.

The mikveh was used for spiritual purification or holiness, which the Bible refers to in the book of Leviticus, and its discovery is a reminder of a Second Temple-era tradition that’s linked to the introduction of Christians baptisms.

Israeli tour guide Yoav Rotem tells CBN News, “These are the roots of the baptism of John… John the Baptist… Going from Leviticus through Judaism of the Second Temple time all the way to John the Baptist and Jesus, these are the roots, and they’re still in the ground.”

To preserve the mikveh, the Israel Antiquities Authority dug up the entire ritual bath and removed it from the site.

Rotem argues that this discovery is the latest archaeological proof that the Jewish population wasn’t entirely absent from the region after the Romans tried to wipe them out. While some uninformed anti-Israel activists claim the Jews just popped up and took over the holy land in 1948, Rotem says the Jews have clear ties to the land that are constantly being unearthed.

He also cited historical letters, the Cairo Geniza archive of 400,000 ancient manuscripts in Hebrew, Aramaic and Arabic, that provide further proof, in addition to the many substantial, ongoing archaeological discoveries of ancient Jewish presence in the land.

“There’s a huge amount of information from historical information to archaeological to letters between rabbis, of Jewish appearance (or presence)… The Jews are still alive after 70 (AD). Some of them, minorities, staying in the land, a lot of Jews moving to the Galilee,” he explained.

For additional insight, watch the CBN News YouTube video below.

To all my readers, I encourage you to thank the Lord for this tremendous breakthrough in Israel. No matter what the anti-Israel activists say, the ancient Jewish heritage in the land of Israel is absolutely real backed with physical pieces of evidence and ancient diggings achieved. Clearly, Israel is the land of Jews, not the Palestinians.

At the same time, I encourage you all to realize the truth that Israel is the land God designated specifically for the Jewish people (read Genesis 35:10-12) and His command must be followed without hesitation. If you want to be blessed further by the Lord, do so by loving and blessing the Jewish people (Genesis 12:1-3). I did my part when I was in Israel. Also, let me remind you all that the ties between the Jews and Christians are truly biblical!

I encourage you all to pray to the Lord God in support of Israel, to love and bless the Jewish people, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

If you truly believe in Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God the Heavenly Father wholeheartedly and you continue to be faithful, you should be aware that Christians are meant to stand united with Israel and love the Jewish people no matter what. You can do your part supporting Israel by donating to Christians United for Israel (CUFI). Do not forget to read the Holy Bible, then pray in tongues to the Lord in the privacy of your room with the door shut.

Always be the fearless and aggressive church of Lord Jesus!

A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.

The Secret Place

Articles For The Christian Reader

Serving the Body of Christ…

The Secret Place

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High,
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Psalm 91:1

This is a favorite psalm for many believers. Psalm 91 promises protection for those who abide in the secret place of the Lord. But it’s speaking only of those who know the Lord intimately, because those whose trust is wholly in the Lord will run to him FIRST in any trial, in any threat, in any fear that may come upon them, and there in the secret place of the Most High they will find refuge.

The reason this is called the secret place, is that only those who truly know the Lord and belong to him will know how to enter. A stranger will not even know about it, let alone enter it. Jesus was speaking of this place of refuge when he said:

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets,
and stones those who are sent to you,
how often would I have gathered your children together,
even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,
but you would not!”
Matthew 23:7

All are invited to this secret place, but few find it. Most “would not.” The disciples asked Jesus if many would be saved. Listen to his answer and look at it closely; it’s a hard truth, one that should make one tremble, it’s the MANY versus the FEW:

“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.”
Matthew 7:13-14

The one who will find it will find in the Lord that secret place where he may hide from danger, the secret place that will be a refuge for him because he will learn to place all his trust in the Lord. Nothing can touch him without going through his Lord’s hand. The Lord said the way is difficult, but those who abide in him will never go through anything alone, the very presence of the Lord God will be with them in every circumstance in life. They will find comfort there, they will receive direction there.

“I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in him I will trust.’”
Psalm 91:2

Those who find him will trust him because they know him. Once they have EXPERIENCED the presence of the Lord and his care for them, their trust will become firmly established in him.

vs 4:
“He shall cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you shall take refuge;”

People who don’t want to take the Word of God literally miss out on many of the precious truths revealed only in that secret place. What are those “feathers?”

In the Temple, the mercy seat sits in the innermost chamber called the Holy of Holies, deep into the Temple where only the high priest may enter. The ark of the covenant is in there, which is a chest containing the ten commandments. But on top of that chest sits the mercy seat, the mercy one finds in the Lord. In the Holy Place in the Temple, there was placed above the mercy seat two angels made of gold, one on each side of the chest, their wings, or their feathers, covering over the mercy seat and touching each other. This is a picture of the secret place, the place of mercy, under the shadow of the wings.

There was a huge veil at the door of that innermost chamber, preventing anyone but the high priest from entering. But when Jesus was crucified that veil was torn in two, signifying that those covered with the Blood of Jesus may now enter that inner chamber, that holy place, and have direct access to God himself, and from that day on this redeemed person will abide in the secret place of the Most High, abiding under the shadow of the Almighty.

Many are called, but few accept that call. For those who do, all the provision of God becomes theirs as they are invited into the secret place of the Lord, to abide there with him, in his presence, forever.

Kurt Vonnegut’s essay on the Sermon on the Mount is text I come back to again and again.

He is a Humanist, and he makes Jesus Christ Himself accessible.

He writes about a moment in the Bible days before His crucifixion, where Jesus is sat with Judas, Lazarus, and Mary. Mary offers some perfumed ointment to rub onto Jesu’s feet. Jesus says, go for it.

Judas ain’t havin’ it. He interjects that it is a luxury ointment and should be sold and the proceeds given to the poor.

The Bible tells it, after much translation and languages over the century, that Jesus replied:“For the poor always ye have with you; but you do not always have me.”

Vonnegut goes on to explain how as a child, he observed that this was always used in the spirit of what Vonnegut describes as “The poor people are hopeless. We’ll always be stuck with them.”

Vonnegut posits, that as know jokes are always the first thing lost in translation, that this is only a divine black joke. He writes that he imagines what Jesus originally said in Aramaic went more like: “Judas, don’t worry about it. There will still be plenty of poor people left long after I’m gone.”

And said with the wit of Mark Twain or Abraham Lincoln. So I leave you with his words:

“If Jesus did in fact say that, it is a divine black joke, well suited to the occasion. It says everything about hypocrisy and nothing about the poor. It is a Christian joke, which allows Jesus to remain civil to Judas, but to chide him about his hypocrisy all the same.

Vonnegut, Kurt. Palm Sunday: An Autobiographical Collage

This has always sat with me and had me reflect, because it is an interesting side of Jesus to a humanist like me.

#Vonnegut #Humanism #JesusChrist

When #JesusChrist said that the kingdom of #God is at hand He is telling you that there is no place to go. You are already there. If #Infinity, there is no way for you to not be at the center of everything all the time. And there's no such thing as that either, the center, of infinity. LOL 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🌌🌌🌌🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️

Quote of the day, 15 September: Blessed Marie-Eugène

You are dead, O Jesus, but your divinity remains alive. It followed your soul and remains in your body. O Jesus, fastened to the cross and dead, we adore you. […]

Who will receive him, if not the Virgin Mary, standing at the foot of the cross, who has sat down for a moment to receive his body upon her knees? As only a mother can, she examines this body that belongs to her. She does not count the wounds, but measures their depth; she searches out their places. How painful each one must have been! Those wounds of the face and head, that lance which pierced the heart… O Virgin Mary, what a painful examination!

And your feelings have remained unchanged. The word he spoke—“Behold your mother”—expanded and enlarged your heart. It placed within it a grace, a painful grace, for every birth comes through suffering. But it also placed within your soul and your heart a new love, extraordinarily enlarged, a love with no apparent object, reaching out to the whole world.

And this love urges you, O Virgin Mary, to accept, so to speak, in exchange for Jesus who has died—for the life of Jesus—the souls who are given to you: all souls, the whole Mystical Body. Henceforth, the life of the Mystical Body will spring from Jesus, but through you.

O Virgin Mary, I thank you for accepting. I congratulate you on the new maternal grace you have received. You are my mother; you are our mother. We almost forget the body of Jesus as we look upon you, share in your suffering, and above all share in your maternal triumph.

How great you are, O Virgin Mary, almost as great, humanly speaking, as your Son Jesus. The executioners and Satan, blundering and unaware, intoxicated by their triumph, forget you. They have killed the Son and leave the Mother: the fruitful Mother, the mother of our souls, the Mother of the Church.

We hail you, O Virgin Mary, in your triumph. We hail you, Mother of Life, Our Lady of Life. Grant that we may truly be your children, living as your Son lives, living as you live.

Quote of the day, 7 September: Père Jacques de Jésus

We cannot see Christ and remain as we are. We cannot exchange a look with Christ and not be overcome with a total conversion.

Christ is all in all. Through him, all is made; through him, all comes to us.

Therefore, we must see Christ. I stress this point: we must truly see Christ.

I sometimes think that we should define the term Christian as “someone who has seen Christ.” There are only a few genuine Christians because only a few souls have seen Christ.

Countless baptized persons, including even ordained priests and professed religious, remain lukewarm in spirit. Such tepid souls do not pulsate with life, nor are they enthusiastic enough to give their life for Christ. They have never seen Christ. Their knowledge of the Lord is verbal, not vital.

However, we must strive to love Christ passionately and prepare to see him face to face when we die. The soul that neither misses Christ now nor longs to see him at life’s end does not honestly love him. To make such a claim would be a lie.

When we love someone, we long to see that person, even at the risk of death. All the more so, given his limitless love, we want to long to see Christ, face to face.

The Last Generation

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet

The Last Generation

“Lord, you have been favorable to your land,
you have brought back the captivity of Jacob.”
Psalm 85:1

Jacob, also known as Israel, was dispersed throughout the world in the year 70 AD. The Jews were banished to every country on earth, to remain until the prophesied time of their dispersion would come to an end. During the 1900’s they began going back to their homeland and in 1948 the nation of Israel was re-established in the same place from which they left, to the glory of the God who foretold it.

There are MANY Scriptures telling about the generation in which Israel is re-established. It is a progressive work, and we know there are at least three great wars which will culminate at Armageddon with the coming of the Messiah at which time Israel will come to know him and will go into mourning for having rejected him when he came the first time (Zechariah 12:10).

But before the last seven years, the church age will come to an end with the “harpazo,” the Rapture of the church, and the program on earth transitions to “the time of Jacob’s trouble,” the Tribulation, as God breaks Israel’s pride and prepares her to receive the Messiah. These prophecies are found throughout the Bible, both in the Old Testament and in the New.

It is an incomparable privilege to be living in these days, to actually witness the fulfillment of those great and ancient prophecies which were set to unfold “in the last days,” defined as the generation that sees the return of the Jewish people to the land of their fathers.

Israel is restored, the Rapture is imminent, and we are watching as the events of “the last days” unfold – as foretold in the Word of God. At the end, all will know that the God of Israel is the one true God.

Thank you for your service

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

–Voltaire

The U.S. has been involved in military conflicts of one type or another for about 229 years of its 250-year history. That means that its population has experienced only about 20 years of total peace.

During wartime, a significant number of Americans must surely feel convinced that they’re justified in their bellicose attitude, or how else can one explain such a continuous history of aggression? The U.S.’s prosperity and dominance certainly seem to support the idea that war is a dominant factor in its economic success on the world stage.

I have little doubt that there is no stronger inducement in matters of war than the invoking religion doctrine, and Jesus, particularly, to sway the masses in favour of military action. It has been done for thousands of years and very successfully.

While American sentiment is generally anti-war (there was a brief period in the 60s when they really demonstrated their resentment), there can be no doubt that there is an appetite for it if the right buttons are pushed. The “thank you for your service” culture is pervasive and goes beyond mere patriotism, found among liberals and conservatives alike.

Has anyone questioned what exactly you are thanking them for? I sometimes question how many patriots are genuinely troubled that the service includes killing a stupendous number of innocent men, women and children on a regular basis. Or whether they even know.

The U.S. may rank only third among the world’s armed forces in active-duty personnel, behind India and China, but its military budget outstrips that of the next six countries combined, including Russia and the two previously mentioned. That astounding level of spending spawned what is now commonly referred to as the Military Industrial Complex, which has a whole separate level of derangement and depravity associated with it.

It is therefore not surprising that there has been insignificant resistance to the Trump Administration’s renaming of the Department of Defence to the Department of War. It is ironically one of the most honest things any administration has done. Why fuck around? Just call it what it is, right?

If the renaming wasn’t enough to validate America’s ambition to be the premier imperialist empire, then the retention of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of War, despite his conspicuous unsuitability to command a military force, must leave no doubt. Hegseth’s giant Deus Vult tattoo, meticulously sculpted hairline, fake TV-host charm, and fanatical evangelical bigotry are otherwise perfect credentials for steering the charge to mass murder.

Hegseth almost always invokes nationalist rhetoric and biblical language and scripture to justify military engagements. He conducts Christian worship and prayer services at the Pentagon and has made no effort to conceal his thirst for blood and violence. His other accomplishments include marginalising non-Christian and minority personnel in the armed forces, because I guess it’s much harder to motivate those who don’t share your religious worldview.

Let’s not forget the narcissistic man-child currently heading the evil empire. No person has obliterated the same nuclear stockpile and weaponry of another country more times than Donald Trump. Laugh you may, but it gets better!

Nobody has won the same war more times than him, and nobody has negotiated the same ceasefire more times either. It is truly an accomplishment that will never be repeated, ever. It’s no wonder he’s immortalised in such memes as the one below:

I am frequently bewildered by why ordinary Christians cannot recognise how and when their faith is being perverted, and not only seem helpless to do anything about it, but are frequently willing to look past the transgressions. The 17th-century French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal, who identified with the Jansenism movement within Catholicism, famously observed how religion is so often misappropriated by immoral men:

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

I recently discovered the music of David Rovics, an independent singer/songwriter who releases his music for free so that his anti-war and social justice messages are widely distributed. Together with Jordan Smart, another activist and folk-music singer/songwriter, they have both been asking a very important question that the followers of Christ need to take more seriously.

Who would Jesus bomb?

I will leave the YouTube videos together with the lyrics below. Same rhetorical question, different approach in asking, same outcome. Enjoy!

I’ve seen you in the markets
I’ve seen you in the streets
And at your political convention
Talking of your crusade
Talking of your nation
And other things too terrible to mention
And you proclaim your Christianity
You proclaim your love of God
You talk of apple pie and mom
Well I’ve just got one question
And I want an answer
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb?

Maybe Jesus would bomb the Syrians
Cause they’re not Jews like him
Maybe Jesus would bomb the Afghans
On some kind of vengeful whim
Maybe Jesus would drive an M1 tank
And he would shoot Saddam
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb?

I’ve seen you on the TV
And on the battleships
I’ve seen you in the house upon the hill
And I’ve heard you talking
About making the world safer
And about all the men you have to kill
And you speak so glibly
About your civilization
And how you have the moral higher ground
While halfway around the world
Your explosives smash the buildings
Ah, if you could only hear the sound

But maybe Jesus would sell land mines
And turn on his electric chair
Maybe Jesus would show no compassion
For his enemies in the lands way over there
Maybe Jesus would have flown the planes
That killed the kids in Viet Nam
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb

Yes I hear you shout with confidence
As you praise the lord
And you talk about this God you know so well
And you talk of Armageddon
And your final victory
When all the evil forces go to hell
Well you’d best hope you’ve chosen wisely
On the right side of the lord
And when you die your conscience it is clear
You’d best hope that your atom bombs
Are better than the sword
At the time when your reckoning is here

Cause I don’t think Jesus would send gunships into Bethlehem
Or jets to raze the towns of Timorese
I don’t think Jesus would lend money to dictators
Or drive those SUV’s
And I don’t think Jesus would ever have dropped
A single ounce of napalm
So tell me, who would Jesus bomb?

If Jesus Christ came back today, like you threaten he will
Which poor group of people do you think that he would kill?
Who would Jesus choose to starve if you gave him the chance
And if there was a genocide, would he take a neutral stance?

Who would Jesus bomb?
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
Would it be kids in Palestine, or how ’bout Vietnam?
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists, the Muslims or the Jews?
I want you to ask yourself, “What would Jesus do?”

Would he say, “it’s complicated, there’s sinners on all sides”
Or would he say that some people, they just deserve to die
If Christ the Savior rose again, then on a sidewalk slept
Would you extend a hand to him, or just watch where you stepped?

Who would Jesus bomb?
Tell me, who would Jesus Bomb?
Would it be kids in Palestine, or how ’bout Vietnam?
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists, the Muslims or the Jews?
I want you to ask yourself, “What would Jesus do?”

Would Jesus hate the Gay folks, or the Queer folks or the Trans
Would he suggest they end their lives according to God’s plans?
Would Jesus tell the homeless man to get a fucking job
Or turn his back on the poor, would Jesus be a snob?

Who would Jesus bomb?
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
Would it be kids in Palestine, or how ’bout Vietnam?
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists, the Muslims or the Jews?
I want you to ask yourself, “Well, what would Jesus do?”

Would Jesus Vote Republican, or would it be Democrat?
Would he be chanting four more years, or wear a MAGA hat?
Would Jesus run for president, or dictator, or worse?
Would Jesus be the pastor of his own mega church?

Who would Jesus bomb?
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
Would it be kids in Palestine, or how ’bout Vietnam?
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists, the Muslims or the Jews?
I want you to ask yourself, “What would Jesus do?”

Would Jesus build a border wall? Would Jesus drive a tank?
Would Jesus own an arsenal? Would Jesus run a bank?
Would Jesus feel safe in his skin if he came to your town?
Would you still believe in Jesus if you found out he was brown?

Who would Jesus bomb?
Tell me, who would Jesus bomb?
Would it be kids in Palestine, or how ’bout Vietnam?
Would Jesus bomb the Atheists, the Muslims or the Jews?
I want you to ask yourself, “What would Jesus do?”
I want you to ask yourself, “What would Jesus do?”
I want you to ask yourself, “What would Jesus do?”
