“When I Return, Will I find Faith?”

The world is changing. The obscene, the pluralistic, and demonic is growing. What jave neen norms like male and female are challenged as antiquated, while radical procedures to transform children’s genders is used despite the warnings that supression of estrogen or testosterone have unforeseen health consequences.

Babelyon is here. Everything pagan, demonic, luscivious, and antichrist is touted, while the church recedes into the backgroynd after centuries of steeples that rose over towns, decades of stores that sold Bibles, and what once was chapels only for Christians is now for all faiths with all embelms of the faith removed.

I stepped into a chapel in a hospital recently and its stain glass was landscape and basins in fromt for rocks of prayer for all faiths. Only half a decade ago, when I entered a chapel it had an altar cross and Bibles. In the UK and US Christianity is in decline, with pagan religions becoming popular or Noneism (no affiliation).

The reality is that Jesus our Lord warned us of these times, “I tell you, he will grant justice to them quickly! But when the Son of Man returns, how many will he find on the earth who have faith?”” (Luke 18:8), “You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved,” (Matthew 10:22), “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.” (Matthew 24:9), and “If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.” (John 15:18-19, 21). These prognostications by the Prince of Peace tear apart the Preterist lie that the whole world will be Christian by the time Christ returns. Rather it is more likely we will be minority being threatened with censorship and persecution. The belief we will suddenly have a great revival that will restore Christendom is naive.

More than ever we must stand firm as evil seeks to break the faithful. We must remember these times were foretold by our Savior and his apostles under the auspices of the Holy Spirit. That we can have courage because we were forwarned. 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. The...

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...

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 peop...
