“God Is On The Move”


So often we hear about the negative. That churches are under siege and scandal has erupted. But amidst this darkness there is always Light. In the Middle East, a man has had dreams of our Lord Jesus Christ appearing to him and speaking to Him for 30 Days. The man was told to write down all Christ told Him and missionaries have confirmed it is the Gospel of John verbatim (https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2019/september/jesus-visited-him-every-night-middle-eastern-missionary-shares-amazing-story-of-god-on-the-move). This has major significance to the Muslim world because the Quran means “to recite” and the Koran is the written down recitations of Muhammad’s revelations. The fact a Middle Eastern man has received recitations from our True Lord and God Jesus Christ will make it more acceptable to Muslims who have been hesitant to approach the Gospels  in our Bible. Christ is certainly reaching out His hand of love and redemption to the Middle East. 

I am reminded that while we often rely on translators to get the Bible into native languages, we must not forget that God The Trinity can reveal His Scriptures without a Gutenberg or eReader app: 

“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” (John 14:26) 

“But God has revealed it to us by the Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.” (1 Corinthians 2:10)

Beyond that we must remember, “Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” (Colossians 2:2-3). Christ and the Holy Spirit has the power to teach people beyond the reach of preachers and copies of the New Testament. God is truly on the move, reaching into the Middle East. This far here is what is happening: 

Iran is having such a revival, millions have become Christians, that the leaders cannot contain the Spirit’s movement. 

Egypt is having hundreds of churches rebuilt and built. 

Saudi Arabia’s leaders are meeting Catholic delegates and relaxing religious   strictures as well as making social reforms. 

African countries that were strictly Muslim in the North are opening to the Gospel. 

Make no mistake “God is on the Move,” in the Middle East! Jesus is appearing to many and miracles are happening. While the West seems to be cooling, the East is ablaze with God’s Spirit! And no wonder because of the prophecy of Isaiah: 

“In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.” (Isaiah 19:23-25) 

And let us not forget who was at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended: 

“Astounded and amazed, they asked, “Are not all these men who are speaking Galileans? How is it then that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes (Persia, Iran), and Elamites (Elam is Iran); residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia (Heartland Turkey), Pontus (Turkey). and Asia, Phrygia (Turkey) and Pamphylia (Greece, Modern Turkey), Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome, both Jews and converts to Judaism; Cretans and Arabs (Saudi Arabians)—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” (Acts 2:7-11). See how Iran, Egypt, and Arabia where all there at Pentecost when the Apostle Peter preached and move in the Spirit? 


Make no mistake, “God is on the move, Hallelujah!” Let us continue to pray for the movement of the Lord Trinity in the Middle East! Amen.

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them.

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 and died for our sins an

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few people are endeavo
