Friday Massacre in France (Nov 13th, 2015)



Today tragedy struck Paris, France today when terrorists attacked six locations, killing an estimated 158 civilians. The death toll is not final, and President Francois Hollande of France has called a "state of emergency" establishing martial law, curfews and closing the borders. The President of France declared that he will "wage a pitiless war against these terrorists." (FOX NEWS, Shepherd Smith, EMERGENCY Replacement show for the O'Reilly Factor). I once wrote that  France needs to remember their Frankish roots, to return to the example of King Louis IX The Crusader King and St. Joan de Arc the savior of the French Nation. In the aftermath of this invidious assault on the French Nation, commentators are speculating about the murderers, who were eight gunmen with suicide vests. Survivors are claiming that one gunman at the concert hall declared "Syria or this is for Syria," and another shouting "Allahu Akbar! Translation: God is Great Jihad Akbar (Holy War)!"

The consensus is that this was a Islamic terrorist attack. FOX News reports that one gunman was apprehended and has been found to have ties to Raca (interestingly Jesus said call not your brother Raca, see Matthew 5:22), the headquarters of ISIS/ISIL (Islamic State In Syria/Islamic State in Lebanon). If a connection is solidified, then this clearly was planned. What is more starling is the historical significance. This was Friday 13th. On this day in 1307, the Knights Templar were apprehended and executed in France and by the order of a French Sovereign, Phillip IV "The Fair." If a connection is made, then it could be Islamic State making a point that they are waging a holy war and want to remind the public that just as the Christian Knights were rounded up and rent asunder, they shall do the same to the French.

Islamic Terrorists seem to be taking history and attacking on important date. On September 11th, 1556, the Knights of St. John defeated the Ottoman Turks (Islamic Empire). Then on September 11th, 2001 New York City Trade Towers were attacked by Islamists using commercial jets to fly into the trade towers. The same dates? Coincidence? I think not. The Terrorists seem to be taking dates from Crusader histories and using them as dates to destroy those who are descendants and have ties to the Crusaders. Perhaps the CIA, FBI, and World organizations should start looking through the history books to find dates to determine the next attacks?

Our prayers go out to Paris. The people there need the Prince of Peace. May a great awakening take place in the ancient Frankish nation, may the St. Louise's and St. Joan's rise to lead the French people back to the faith in Christ and to stand against the forces of chaos. May France have an outpouring of Holy Spirit fire and a fervor to fight back. Too long has atheism, decadence, and liberalism held sway over the French. Now is the time to return to the zealous love for Jesus Christ that they were known for throughout the Middle Ages! This battle requires prayer! May the candles light in the cathedrals and more so in the hearts of the courageous French souls! Amen.

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...
