The Rapture Force

Chapter Six

1. What is the first “elementary” doctrine mentioned?

Repentance from dead works and faith toward God.

2. The second doctrine?

The doctrine of baptisms.

3. The third doctrine?

Laying on of hands.

4. The fourth doctrine?

The resurrection of the dead.

5. The fifth doctrine?

Eternal judgment.

6. What does the writer of Hebrews term these five doctrines?

The first principles, the beginning, of the doctrine of Christ.

7. What does the writer of Hebrews exhort us to do, with reference to the five elementary doctrines?

To leave them and go on to perfection, to maturity.

The writer means that we are to leave them and proceed further with our discussion of the Christian salvation. However, in the light of the statements in Chapter Two through Five, it also is true that we should press past them in actual practice and seek to enter the rest of God.

8. Beginning at verse four, what aspects of salvation had the Hebrew saints experienced already?

They had been enlightened.

They had tasted the heavenly gift.

They had been made partakers of the Holy Spirit.

They had tasted the good Word of God; they had tasted the works of power of the world age to come.

9. What is impossible if people of such spiritual experience should fall away?

To renew them again to repentance.

10. What two things do such backsliders do to Christ?

They crucify Him again and they expose Him to public shame.

Numerous Christian teachers have attempted to prove that once a person has made a genuine of belief in Jesus he can never be removed from the grace of God. Their position is based on a concept of grace as a sovereign action of God unrelated to man’s response.

The premise that redemption is an abstract Divine act that does not depend on human response is one of the deadliest, most subtle of all the errors that have corrupted Christian thinking. The Divine redemption, from beginning to completion, is an opportunity. The believer can choose to pursue the continuing revelation of God’s grace or can, after having begun, ignore and neglect the further challenges and demands.

The Christian walk is a way of faith, a way of righteousness. Whenever a believer ceases to press forward in faith he stands in danger of falling back into spiritual death. Satan never ceases his attempts to deceive the Christian away from the path of light.

The believer who, after repeated admonitions of the Lord, does not begin to bear the fruit of righteousness, will be cut out of the Vine, out of Christ.

Thesis of the Book of Hebrews is that we will be made a partaker of Christ on the condition that we press forward to the land of promise, to the rest of God, to the fullness of our inheritance in Christ. Hebrews was written to experienced disciples who now were losing their fervency.

The expression “If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance” must be interpreted in the light of the whole Book of Hebrews. It appears that these seasoned Christians were beginning to neglect their salvation and were not pressing into the rest of God, the perfection of salvation that is the mark of maturity.

The spiritual forces that govern the earth are so powerful, the currents so strong and swift, that is not press forward is to be swept backward. The experienced saint who loses the white heat of fervency slowly but surely loses ground. Satan works slowly and unremittingly. Before many years have past the believer who once had been a prophet of God is now living in the flesh. His spiritual life is dying.

Whether he would be able in this condition to rekindle his love for Jesus is questionable. We have known of a man in this condition. What at one time had been a vibrant Christian was now a shell of a man, sick, terrified that he had sinned away his day of grace. Our counsel to him was to sit in church every time the doors opened and hope that God would have mercy on him and give him the grace to repent and pray.

Our relationship to the Lamb of God is that of Bride to Bridegroom. We may stumble a few times, in which instances the Lord will pick us up so we may continue our journey toward His palace. But if we fall away, spurning His love, there may come a day when He loses interest in us.

We know of the parable of the prodigal son and the blessing this has been to countless sinners who have come to themselves and returned to Father’s house.

We know also of a faithless Israel who sinned until there no longer was a remedy and they lost the Glory that had been theirs. Twenty-five hundred years later they still are trying to retain control of their land and their holy city.

If we neglect our salvation we will not escape punishment and severe loss of inheritance–if not something worse!

11. What kind of ground does God bless?

That which drinks the rain that comes on it and brings forth crops fit for those for whom it has been tilled.

12. What is true of ground that brings forth thorns and thistles?

It is rejected. It is near a curse. It will be burned in the end.

13. What are some of the things that “accompany salvation”?

Love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, and a pressing forward in the Spirit each day toward the fullness of the inheritance that is in Christ.

If these “things” are not accompanying our Christian experience, then salvation is not occurring. Faith apart from such works of righteousness is dead.

14. What was God remembering concerning the Hebrew Christians?

Their work and labor of love in serving the saints.

Evidently these Jewish saints were hospitable toward the traveling ministries, and were doing all that they could to assist Christians who were in need.

15. How can we make ourselves sure of our hope of salvation?

By being diligent in the work of the Kingdom of God, by following and imitating the believers who through faith and patience are becoming heirs of the promises of God that are in Christ.

Notice that our hope must be made sure. We inherit the rest of God, the land of promise, only as we respond to God’s salvation with faith and patience. Salvation is not an arbitrary Divine action; rather, it is an opportunity to regain what was lost in Eden. God has given Jesus to us to help us drive Satan from our inheritance. Jesus helps us and guides us in every detail. But we must obey Him at each moment or the process ceases.

Prayer is not merely asking God to give us what we desire. Prayer is the way in which we enter the program of redemption, seeking the Lord’s will, and receiving strength and guidance so His will may be done in our life.

16. By whom did God swear, when He made His promise to Abraham concerning Abraham’s descendants?

By Himself because there is no one greater to swear by.

17. What trait of character was Abraham required to exercise in order to inherit the promises that God had made to him?

Patience.

18. Why did God confirm His promise with an oath?

So the heirs of the promise would be convinced of the unchanging nature of God’s intention.

19. What two “immutable” (unchangeable) things give us strong “consolation” (encouragement)?

God’s promise plus the oath that confirms the promise.

20. What is the “hope ” of the Christian pilgrim?

That his soul will be saved (Hebrews 10:39) and that he will inherit the fullness of the blessing promised to the descendants of Abraham.

21. Where is our soul anchored?

In the Most Holy place behind the veil, being fastened there by our hope.

22. Who made a place for us behind the holy veil?

The Lord Jesus, our eternal High Priest of the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews through out, assures us that since the Jews who were rescued from Egypt and still complained and moaned and railed against God and even after seeing the miracles the Lord performed over the forty year wilderness experience,lost their inheritance,that we surely can too. Also I want to point out something that is often over looked.
The angels who fell with satan can never be returned to the Lord,or gain eternity in heaven ever again. If the angels who are above us, we being just a bit lower than they are in our being, can never regain their standing with God,then how does one expect that it would be any different for us? If we turn away from God after tasting being in and walking in the Holy Spirit,how and why would He give us another chance?

I have to say I do not care about being right for myself,no I care about you all getting this right so that when the multitude of tribulation comes to you,you will not turn away thinking you are forever safe. What a terrible thing it would be for you who has been running the race thus far to give up just before the finish line,and lose all the gain you made. To stand before Christ and have Him say depart from me you who are iniquity I never knew you.

I will finish with this from Hebrews 10:26-31, 26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. 28 Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay, and again, “The Lord will judge his people”. 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Hebrews in it’s entirety explains as well that the old covenant laws of Moses have been done away with that the new covenant with Christ as that covenant obliterates the law from having to be observed outside of ourselves. Meaning He wrote those laws on our heart and the Holy Spirit as long as we keep in fellowship and growing,helps us in every way to not transgress.There is no more need for sacrificing for sins just repentance. If you sin and you do it one willingly and two without feeling the need for forgiveness then you are in danger of hell fire.
To this writer and reader,these verses these chapters in Hebrews explains thoroughly we can give up our salvation.

Today we are going to look at what the bible says about the New world order, or the one world government.
I have been doing a study here and it has come to my attention that some people do not even know what the one world government is about, or even that the bible predicts this. I must admit I am truly amazed that some Christians do not do a whole study on the bible. I personally must know what is coming, and feel that God has led me to share the knowledge He has given me, with others. Why you ask is it so important to know this? Because you must be ready for all things coming, in order to be ready, and not shocked into absolute immobility. Why, if we Christians would not be here for the tribulation, would God make sure it is all written in the bible?

I will tell you why. Because He says He will prepare His own for everything that will happen. John 16:13 But when he, the spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but that He reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. Amos is one of the most end time prophetic books of the old testament, in my opinion.

Now the book of Daniel is loaded with end time prophecies as well. Here are they which pertain to the one world government from Daniel and Revelation….and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things. – Daniel 7:7-8

The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. – Daniel 7:23-25

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. – Revelation 13:1-10

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. – Revelation 13:11-18.

Many people dismiss the new world order as a conspiracy theory, it is not a conspiracy nor a theory. While it is true that there are many conspiring together to form a new world order, in the bigger picture, the new world order is an agenda by a group of elite people from around the world. Who control and manipulate, governments, media, and industries world wide. Any person who knows history and studies current events cannot decide it is theories either, the new world order is clearly documented in historical documents, both in word and deeds of world leaders. World leaders are very excited at the prospect of a world of peace, and there is plenty of talk about a new era and about the possibility of establishing a new world order.

The New World Order agenda is detailed in documents from The Council of Foreign relations, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg group, Club of Rome, United Nations, World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. Mikhail Gorbachev was the first world leader to come out publicly with talk of a “new world order,” and he did so nearly two years before George Bush caught the vision. In his historic address to the United Nations on December 7, 1988, the Soviet Prime Minister made this dogmatic and even prophetic statement: “Further global progress is now possible only through a quest for universal consensus in the movement towards a new world order.

Now ten years to the day that George H Bush, or SR as I call him, came out with this new world order business, we have 09/11/2001. I am wondering if the two have something to do with one another. When you put them together in light of this statement here, by David Rockefeller In a statement to the United Nations Business Council in September 1994, Rockefeller said, “We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the new world order.”

By the time George W. Bush came into power, the next incremental step necessary to accomplish the global transformation Rockefeller referred to was to convince the American people that it was necessary they abandon the freedoms they were accustomed to, in exchange for security. How are you liking your security measures these days? Now today we find out in some news, that Obama has hired a Muslim Extremist to TSA senior policy advisor. Doesn’t that just make you want to jump for joy? Not!!!

What blows me away is that so many Americans, and even Christians bury their heads in the sand where our government and their corruption is concerned. They refuse to see the truth that sits right in front of them, and then get angry at any who would show them the truth.People just do not want to hear the truth. I can only guess the reason is, they think that some action would be required on their part. The only action I personally expect out of Christians is to pray, and pray hard.

The governments of the world, with America being the leaders of the group, ushering in the new world order, or one world government, want peace around the world. What they all fail to grasp is that there is no peace on earth without the Lord, and all of these governments want to establish this whole thing without God. It won’t work!! It simply cannot work, because man is only always corrupt. This is satans work, and he is doing the job he has set out to do since his fall from grace. That is to bring about destruction and death in all it’s forms. Death physically and spiritually.

Greed is always the motivator for world domination, greed and power to control and own man kind. Not even God claims ownership of us, because He is not looking for robotic controlled people to love Him. He has always wanted us to choose Him.

The antichrist is going to be the head of this new world government, and his system is already being worked into our daily lives. Most just refuse to see it. One day they will wake up and say how on earth did we get here? Why has no one done anything to stop this? And the sad thing is we who actually have our eyes opened and refuse to be kept in the dark, will say what do you think we have been trying to tell you?

While people are saying “peace and safety” destruction will come upon them suddenly like a woman who travails in birth and they will not escape. 1Thess 5:3 A dire warning to be sure, but I personally would rather know what is coming and be prepared and ready for it, and brace myself for the impact. This way I will still be standing when so many around me are falling. I take great encouragement from the words of Christ in His Revelation to John in chapter three, and the promise that I will have protection in the times that are coming. I am being worked into one of those of the church of Philadelphia. I will prevail, and I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. We who are His own stand on the promises He made and we know we are in the end, Victorious!!!

Love in Christ Jesus,Tammy

The scientists of this day and age say that we, Man, have caused the issues that are making our earth go crazy. I say not so. You see the science of today is not truth. The science of yester year speaks of a whole different thing. When I was going to school we were taught that God put us here,and that God made the trees,make oxygen to feed us,and our carbon dioxide that we expel, with our every outward breath,feeds the trees what they need. It has been proven by a wonderful scientist of meteorology, at MIT, Richard S Lindzen, that global warming is nothing to us. That trees actually flourish in a rich carbon dioxide atmosphere. Plants need it to grow well, and they need heat to grow well.

Here is the paper he did on it. http://www.cato.org/pubs/regulation/regv15n2/reg15n2g.html

So a little extra heat does not hurt anything,especially not the planet. It is actually good for it. And the degrees it has gone up at all,has been so minuscule as to be of no effect to anything. Least of all the ice in the arctic regions. Such as the North pole,and the south pole.

No my friends,our planets problem are the result of the sin that is on it. Remember that the earth is under the curse of sin. Not only did man fall with Adam’s sin but the earth itself was affected. The Bible says that the world “groans and labors in birth pangs” (Ro. 8:22). The result is the actual shifting of the earth that produces natural disasters. The fact is, our planet is not yet restored. We look toward Christ’s coming rule, when there will be “new heavens and a new earth” (2 Pe. 3:13).

By the time the Millennial kingdom comes,where Christ will rule,and we who have been called His own have been changed into immortal beings without sin, The bible tells us in Revelation,that every mountain will be not one mountain left,and not one island will be found in the seas. Revelation 16:20 And every island disappeared, and all the mountains were leveled. This is due to a world wide earth quake. The quakes we are seeing now,is merely the beginning. There are much much more to come,and each getting worse than the last. Imagine the biggest quake ever recorded in 1960,was in Chile and it was a 9.5 magnitude. That had to have been absolutely crazy.

Here are the statistics gathered in the parts of the earth that were affected by this particular earth quake. Approximately 1,655 killed, 3,000 injured, 2,000,000 homeless, and $550 million damage in southern Chile; tsunami caused 61 deaths, $75 million damage in Hawaii; 138 deaths and $50 million damage in Japan; 32 dead and missing in the Philippines; and $500,000 damage to the west coast of the United States.

But the ones that are going to be coming, will be bigger, and more places will get them, until the world wide quake, that is just before the day of the Lord. There is one earthquake that speaks of every mountain being moved out of it’s place, and every island being moved out of it’s place. Not gone, just removed from their natural place. That is Revelation 6:14 at the 6th seal being opened. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

Why does God allow natural disasters in the world like earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, typhoons, landslides and other natural disasters? The end of 2004 Asian tsunami, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 in south-eastern United States of America, and landslides in the Philippines in 2006 forced many people to doubt God’s goodness. Sadly, those natural disasters are often called action of God, but never of grace to God not for years, decades or even centuries of peaceful weather. God created the universe and the laws of nature (Genesis 1:1). Most natural disasters are a result of these laws. Hurricanes, typhoons, and tornadoes are the result of different weather conditions. Earthquakes are the result of changes in the crust of the earth. Tsunami problems caused by an undersea earthquake.

The Bible proclaims that Jesus Christ has authority over all of nature (Colossians 1:16-17). Could God prevent natural disasters? Absolutely! Does God sometimes influence the weather? Yes, see Deuteronomy 11:17 and James 5:17. Does God sometimes cause natural disasters, as punishment for sin? Yes, see Numbers 16:30-34. The Book of Revelation describes the many events that could be called specifically as acts of God (Revelation chapters 6, 8 and 16).Is every disaster a punishment from God? Absolutely not.

But Revelation chapters 6-14 are not God’s wrath. I do not want you to be confused about that.Revelation 11:18 says The nations were angry; and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your saints and those who reverence your name, both small and great–and for destroying those who destroy the earth.” That does not say before the tribulation comes I will remove you. No to me, that says, after the seventh trumpet has sounded, then it is time to reward and judge your servants. I will explain this more in other articles to come. For now please do not be afraid to study and learn for yourselves all of this,always praying for the Holy Spirit to give you eyes to see, and ears to hear what the Spirit says is the truth.

In the same way as God allows evil people to commit acts of evil, God gives the land to show the effects of sin on creation. Romans 8:19-21 tells us, “For the creature looks forward to revealing of the sons of God, 20 because of that the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by the will of him who subjected it, in hopes 21 because the creature itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of God’s children . The fall of humanity affect everything including the universe in which we live. Sin is the ultimate cause of natural disasters, as well as the cause of death, disease and suffering.

So we are back where we started. We can understand why there are disasters. The fact that we do not understand is why God allows them to take place. Why does God allow 225,000 people die in Asia? Why did God allow Hurricane Katrina to destroy the homes of hundreds of thousands of people? We know that God is good! Many amazing wonders in cases of natural disasters have taken place – to prevent further deaths. Natural disasters are the cause of millions of people to reconsider their priorities in life. Hundreds of millions of dollars sent to help people who suffer. Christian organizations have the opportunity to help, serve, and pray – and to bring people to faith in Christ! God can, and does extract good out of terrible tragedies (Romans 8:28).

Those who wish to not believe in God and the bible,are the ones who just keep piling on the lies. Saying that well since there is no God we the people of this planet must be the cause of the natural disasters. Scientists who are also believers in God are shunned to the point of being black balled from jobs, and even ridiculed right out of their professions. God himself said all these things would come to pass, and here we are in the thick of things.

The planet was not meant to last for eternity. It is going to be cleaned up and very beautiful during the thousand years reign of Christ. But then God’s plan is to burn it all up after the judgment, and make a brand new earth. We do not owe the earth anything. It is not our object of worship. God is!!

2Pe 3:7,10-12: “But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men… But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up. Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire!”

“Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more” (Isa 65:17-19). See we have a new Heaven and a new earth. I personally think the heavens Peter refers to, is the first heaven, that being the atmosphere around the earth that protects it. I hope that most of you know already that there are three levels to the heavens.

In closing all you who believe in God, and believe the word to be absolute truth,cannot in good conscience believe what earthly leaders are telling you. There is no such thing as global warming to the nth degree our world leaders would have you believe. Our world is not being harmed by us, and or anything we are doing. We cannot save this planet. If we believed what the world leaders are telling us,and we really were to make a difference at all,we would have to stop driving cars. Stop using electricity,we would have to stop doing anything at all other than farming, and even then the experts who believe in this bunk, still insist we could not change anything, after 100 years of not using any of the earths resources, that God Himself put here for our use and consumption.

Don’t be fooled you of God’s children. This is a huge lie to put ownership on you and your children. This is a disgusting power grab,a way for them to gain control of us all. Let us not make it so easy on them to take us over. Let us pray for wisdom and knowledge to be given us. Let us study our words to show ourselves approved. There is coming a day and it is not so far away where it is going to be impossible to read the word of the Lord and the Lord tells us a few different places in the bible,that there is a famine for the word coming.I personally am going to be hiding away some bibles in different spots,in as many different areas as I possibly can. I have one of the verses I spoke of above here for you. here for you.

Amos 8:10 I will turn your religious feasts into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day. 11″The days are coming,” declares the Sovereign LORD, “when I will send a famine through the land– not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD. 12Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the LORD, but they will not find it.

May the good Lord watch over you and protect ,you and your families. May He fill you with desire to know His word,and be prepared for all that is coming upon this earth.
Love in Christ Jesus,Tammy

The book of Leviticus is loaded with laws that had to be adhered to, to keep the Israelite’s in the constant presence of God. There were so many laws and offerings and sacrifices that had to be made on a daily basis,that the people had a hard time to follow them all. That was the Priests job. The Levite’s were the priests,who had to make sure that the daily sacrifices,weekly sacrifices,and monthly,and yearly sacrifices were adhered to. That’s why they are called the Levitical laws, because the Levite’s had to make sure it was all carried out, the way Moses had informed them they must be carried out.

Here are a few of the different types of sacrifices that had to be made. There were, burnt-offerings,drink-offerings, meat-offerings, and thank-offerings , sin-offerings and trespass-offerings. In the first 7 chapters of Leviticus the drink offering is not mentioned. The reason I am sharing this particular information is I want to show that since Jesus came we are no longer required to do these types of sacrifices to honor the Lord and to atone for sins. Jesus was and is the one time only, needed sacrifice. I will explain this all further later on.

Leviticus is also an explanation for the sacrifices we will be required to make in the millennial kingdom that is to come. I cannot personally as of this time, figure out why we will once again be required to make sacrifices in the millennial kingdom. Since Jesus paid all the price for us already. But I am planning to do, an in depth study on this particular thing, so as to get a better understanding. Once I have an understanding of it, I will happily share my findings with you all.

The reasons I have for assuming the sacrifices will resume in the Millennial kingdom, is Ezekiel chapter 40:39-41 states there are burnt offerings and such in the third temple. I know that these are millennial sacrifices due to the fact that God is ordering them. When in other scriptures the Lord said he will laugh at their worthless sacrifices in the end times. In the book of Malachi it speaks of this. That is because Jesus is the one time only sacrifice needed. There is no other name in which we can be cleansed. He was the drink offering,the blood sacrifice and atonement. The Jews do not recognize Jesus as the messiah. So they will resume their sacrificing once the 7 year treaty is made with Israel,by the beast system or the antichrist. We know in the middle of the treaty that the antichrist will stop the sacrifices from being made.

We do not however know what kind of temple, this temple that these sacrifices take place in, is going to be. We cannot for one minute assume that the temple that will be built in Jerusalem in the end times will be a very big one or even a God sanctioned one. The temple in Ezekiel chapter 40 and 43 is going to be a wonderful temple in the millennial kingdom. Any temple made in our times, would not be a sanctioned one of the Lord. Why would it be? When the Jews did not recognize the time of their visitation by their Messiah! That is why Israeli’s were dispersed through out the world after Jesus death and the destruction of the second temple. Because they did not accept their Messiah sent by God.

Leviticus chapter 26:18 tells us, then I will act with wrathful hostility against you, and I, even I, will punish you seven times for your sins. then in verse, 41 which made me hostile toward them so that I sent them into the land of their enemies–then when their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they have paid for their sin, I will remember my covenant with Jacob. So basically due to their disobedience and their even killing His son the one time sacrifice,they were once again dispersed through out the world. Their sacrifices were no more.

We know that Israel was reborn as a country, as of 1948. We know or have been told in the word that the Lord was going to bring them back to Israel from all over the world. The Jewish people would inhabit their lands once again. They are doing that now. We still have to see a huge exodus of Jews heading back home to their homeland,though there are many there already, it is estimated that a mere 42% of the worlds Jews live in Israel. So another 58% must head back to Israel. I do believe we will see that as more and more of the world turn against Israel in the not too distant future.

So many people do not realize that Israel is at the center of all the end time prophecies. It amazes me how many people, who call themselves Christians, do not understand that we must stand with Israel. God said I will bless those who bless you oh Israel,and curse those who curse you. America is now turning their back on Israel, and I am waiting for calamities to befall us soon. We cannot hope to get away with tearing apart Israeli’s, verbally and get away with it. Now we are apparently according to our president,(and I use that term loosely , President) trying to put sanctions on Israel,and blaming them for the troubles that are befalling them,and trying to make them pay for the troubles that have fallen upon them. It disgusts me no end to watch this. Our president is standing with the muslims who wish nothing more than to see Israel be destroyed.

We need to be praying for Israel,and for our leaders to stop this nonsense of treating Jews like they are a pariah and the cause of all earthly problems. God said them “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it” Zech12:3 We see the middle east in absolute chaos right now, and it is only going to be getting worse and worse until the end of the age. Here is a small article concerning the dividing of Jerusalem. http://signsofthelastdays.com/archives/the-burdensome-stone-the-entire-world-is-pressuring-israel-to-give-up-east-jerusalem-but-netanyahu-says-that-israel-will-never-surrender-it .

Getting back to Jesus as the one time only needed sacrifice. Why did the physical sacrifices cease? Because we can’t be made perfect by animal sacrifices. “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins” (Hebrews 10:4). Christ’s sacrifice removes our sins, if we repent. Only the blood of Christ can do that—never the blood of bulls and goats. . Christ came to take away the first, the Old Covenant and the physical sacrifices, and establish the second—the New Covenant revolving around Christ and His first coming to Earth. God took the sacrificial system away. “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all” (verse 10). When Christ was sacrificed, the physical sacrifices became obsolete. The sacrificial system was replaced by Christ’s sacrifice Hebrews 8:13.

Christ gave His precious blood for us! And He won’t accept a lukewarm response to such a majestic, total sacrifice. He sweat blood for His Church and the world before He gave His blood! (Luke 22:44).

Now it is time for us to do some sweating in gratitude for what He did for all of us. “Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin” (Hebrews 10:18). There is “no more offering for sin”—either physical or spiritual sacrifices! “No more” means no more. “By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of God” (verses 20-21). We have a new way to live and a High Priest over God’s house.

God in His word tells us in so many many places that we as His own,those who have accepted Christ,them and their household (i.e. Those who live in their home with them) will be protected. Psalm 91 is a wonderful chapter in the word that describes a holy protection over His own. But in order for us, any of us, to receive this Holy protection, we must first accept Christs sacrifice of His blood and life, and understand He is alive to give us the hope and understanding of our own eternal life through him. Repent,come to the Lord and understand you are not deserving of this free gift.

That it is by God’s grace and His willingness to have His own son put to death for our sins. That we could never pay a price to receive this,we could never work or be deserving of this gift. It is not by anything we do, or have done, or could do. This is a gift, and all we can do is accept it. Then your protection and that of your children will be given without reservation by the Lord. He promises us protection if we only believe, that He will do as He says He will do. if you are a Christian in name only, then you will not be afforded this protection. You must accept with all your heart, mind, and body, and be a living witness of being crucified daily. The world must be able to tell, you have been set apart from it.

Going to church does not make you a Christian. Living every moment of your life as though the Lord is walking besides you, is showing the world that you are His own. Fearing the Lord not being afraid of Him but revering Him is another way to show you are His own. It fills me with overflowing Joy, to know that God calls me His own, and that He can say that with pride, and I can say I am His with pride, knowing I mean it and am living it. This is a pure and wondrous joy for anyone who truly is His own. Do not get me wrong, we are not any of us perfect,but we are striving for perfection. Daily learning to be more like our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

In the end times,the Jews will be sacrificing once again,but it is for nothing in the sight of God,because He covered the price, the fee for us to be atoned for. Jesus Christ His son was the one time sacrifice needed. There is now no need to sacrifice for atonement. Our sins have been paid for with a hefty price,the life of the Perfect Lamb of God. Jesus lived a sinless perfect life here on earth, so that He would when the time came, be the lamb with no blemish or spot on Him.

That perfect sinless man, became our sin. He did not just take on our sin,He became it. He paid in every way possible for our sins. Physically,mentally,and spiritually did he experience death. He went down to the bowels of the earth, into hell or Hades, because spiritual death in hell is the price for sins. But He is alive, He has set us free and come back to life, and now resides in the place of honor, on the right hand of the Father. Praise Him all you people. But more than that give Him your life in return for His paying the price. This is the ONLY way to eternal life,through the one who died for you,the only son of God. He gave up his kingdom to come walk among us. To feel what we feel,to be tempted as we are tempted. Through it all, He maintained his perfection. What other God has done such a thing? None,there is no other God than the one true God.

Do not be guilty of being a Christian in name only. There is no in between with God, He wants your all or He wants none of you. There is no half way with the Lord. You are all of His, or you are none of His. When you think of standing before Him can you imagine you holding your head up high, knowing you gave everything you had to be more like Him? Or are you one who will hang your head in shame for not trying to be more holy? We can never be perfect on our own, but we are being perfected in Him, (Christ) more and more as we learn about Him. Then one day He is coming back and we will in a moment in a twinkling of an eye, be changed into perfect immortal spirits. We will be perfect in every way,never having to worry about sinning again. I cannot wait for that day!!!

I could, if I died right now, stand before the Lord knowing I gave Him every thing I had to give Him. Knowing that I could not love Him more if I tried. Knowing that I did my very best to be loving, kind, gentle, patient,giving. That I lived with the Holy Spirit guiding me. That I accepted and utilized the gifts the Lord has chosen for me. In short, being one of the church of Philadelphia. The churches are still alive and well and I am definitely considering myself one of the church of Philadelphia,one who will have the protection of the Lord through the end times. Are you? I will when the time comes explain better the churches that are in the book of Revelation.

The end times are going to be crazy,but we who are His own, truly His own, who live every day as though it were their last, who live with God on their mind always, with His pleasure, His will in their heart daily, will be protected and God never breaks a promise. Do you want His protection? Or are you one who says I could never love a God who could and would punish people? God is perfect Holiness and cannot look upon sin. And we are all born filthy sinners. Our littlest tiniest blemish or spot or wrinkle, would look so disgusting and filthy compared to God’s glory,and Holiness. It would be glaringly obvious to us, and we would hang our heads in shame. Do not be guilty of trying to make a god of your own choosing. God does not change for anyone or anything, and I personally would not want Him to. I love Him for all His ways, they are perfect.

Leviticus and the end times have one thing in common, sacrifices. One of those is God sanctioned, God approved atonement. The other is not. It is not wanted or appreciated by God. I feel sorry for those who do not know, that the Lord does not want or ask for it. They are going to be wasting their time for nothing. The end times will be noticeable for a few reasons,but one of those reasons will be that the Jews will have some sort of temple some sort of holy place, (according to them) to make sacrifices and hold temple meetings and such.

Then the antichrist will stop them from sacrificing and even desecrate the temple. The end of, the end times has not as of yet begun. The last seven years is not here yet. Soon it will be how soon no one knows. But when we see the temple being built in Jerusalem, and the 7 year treaty being signed by Israel, and some sort of leader of the world, we will know it is the beginning of those last years. We still have much to see. A one world government, and a one world currency. That has got to take some time, I know we Americans do not want to give up our sovereignty, I imagine other countries will buck this as well, for as long as they can.

God Bless us all, and don’t worry or be afraid, for our hope and promise is coming one day, and not too long from now. If it takes time, that is only because God is allowing for those who will come to Him, to come. He holds off for as long as He can, to get as many as will come to Him to come.

Love in Christ Jesus,Tammy
