Yerusalayim (Jerusalem): God's City



I have been in God's City for nearly two days and already I can feel the LORD's presence. When I pray I can cleary hear the voice of the Most High, I can feel the Rouch Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) fall upon me. Christ is ever on my mind, I see visions of his loving face, and delight in his tender embrace. Here in Jerusalem I am at peace, Elohim has reassured me that I am free, free of the shackles and chains Satan has endeavored to place on me. Free of the snares of man. I have bore my cross with pride, I walk amongst the pathways of the Holy City, neither Jew nor Gentile mocks or look upon me with disdain. I feel accepted, a crusader amongst unbelievers.

I am perplexed by how so many Americans fear the unrest and tension of the Middle East. When in fact I do not precieve any animosity. Here everyone lives in Shalom (peace). They treat one another kindly and accept each others differances in beliefs. As I walk the ancient stone paths, as I behold the mighty walls of Jerusalem, I find a warmth overcome me. Here in this place, amongst the rock, stone, desert, and heat dwells a profound presence of the Almighty. As I walk even the modern sectors, I can feel Jehovah. My heart leaps with each street I tred, my soul soars as I bask in his temples. Words are futile to express the bliss, the joy, nay the ecstacy of the this place. Even now I cannot articulate, or convey it with justice. It must be felt and experianced.

Here I trek among the greats, I walk in footsteps of Jesus, Paul, King David, King Solomon, Godfrey of Boullion, King Richard The Lionheart and many more. Jerusalem is the center of all history, everything that has shaped our world, all the former great empires & kingdoms, the great philosophies and theologies began here. This is home, this is where we belong! Yeshua promises us a room in the New Jerusalem, but why not first come and lodge in the Old? For here is the place where God ransomed humanity. Christ bore his rood, his cross and marched to the Place of the Skull. Here in flesh was God! Here his Disciples lodged and spent much of their ministry. Here is where demensions of heaven and earth meet and cross. Here is God's throne, a city that still praises and is seeking the King. Though many remain lost, Christ has commisioned us to show them the way, the narrow path to eternal life.

Jerusalem is God's City. Its a blessing to be here, to feel to connected with The Most High. To behold the old stones, citdels, castles, forts, churchs, walls, roads, and mountains. Oh Zion! Your God reigns! He is alive, he is risen, he is calling thee to be his children, to be grafted into the Family of Elohim! Heed the call, take up the Holy Rood and proclaim Yeshua, Jesus as Lord! :)

The Potrait of Jesus: What Christ Looked Like

What was Jesus’s appearance? Pseudo-historians at National Geographic and other publications argue that Jesus’ humanity was of Arab or African descent. This is impossible because Jesus our God was Son of David according to His flesh, “He promised beforehand through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, regarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord (God),” (Romans 1:2-4), and King David was described as the following, “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [red, ruddy, from the word admowniy {ad-mo-nee'}; from 'adam ; reddish of the hair or the complexion red, ruddy], with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him; for this is he. So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came ...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Orthodox Christianity and Messianic Judaism

There is a divide between the two sides of Christianity. One is lined by a rosary, the other with tallit (prayer shawl). In the west we tend to come from a Greco-Roman understanding of The Bible and Jesus Christ. We are saturated with images of the Crucifixion and see through the red lens of Calvary. Now The Messianic or Jewish perspective is becoming more prevalent as people begin to study the roots of the Christian faith. After all, Jesus was a Jew and his Twelve Disciples were all Jews of different sects and positions in society. By studying the Jewish roots of Jesus we come to understand the ancient customs, practices, rites, and traditions that are featured in the Old and New Testaments. We learn in Jewish tradition that a Rabbi had to be ordained by two rabbis and that when Jesus was asked, "by who's authority do you say these things?, (Luke 20:2)" the Pharisees were asking who had ordained Jesus and where he got his yoke (teachings), and Jesus responds, "wh...
