Irrevocable and Everlasting: Replacement Theology Debunked

“Lest you be wise in your own conceits, I want you to understand this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The Deliverer will come from Zion, he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”; “and this will be my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” As regards the gospel, they are enemies of God for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable." Romans 11 25-29

May 22, 2007 – Frustrating—vexing, even, to me are those who call themselves, “Christians”, who just don’t seem to “get it” when it comes to harvesting a sound interpretation and implementation of the Word of God. Mind you, there are numerous doctrinal components of the Holy Scriptures that, when all avenues of expository and exegetical dialogue have seemingly been exhausted, routinely manage to evade my feeble span of comprehension. These include topics such as the Rapture, God’s omniscience, and the Trinity, just to name a few-- all of which I believe in firmly, yet understand, dimly. It is during such times in which discernment and understanding are at a premium that I rely upon, to a heightened degree, my faith in and prayer to the One who resurrected.

Conversely, there are also those passages in the Scriptures which require a minimal level of exegetical thought. These historical, albeit prophetic accounts given to, and thus recorded by mortal man through Godly penmanship are what I call, “self-interpreters”. Specifically, these are biblical passages which interpret themselves and require not the arrogant, oft-misguided modifications of man, but his willingness to “be still” and listen to what the Word of God is conveying.

Unfortunately, biblical ignorance begets inaccurate interpretation which in turn begets false doctrine. The result is deception. Read the article in its entirety: Replacement Theology Debunked

Jerusalem Day: America Tips its Hand

"It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it." ~Zechariah 12:3

May 14, 2007 - As Israel prepares to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the reunification of its beloved, indivisible capital, Jerusalem, she was given a prophetic wake-up call, of sorts, from her presently-relevant friend to the West. The United States--an ally whose friendship with and support of Israel remains directly proportionate with her political obedience to President Bush's "vision" for a "Palestinian" state, provided a foreshadowing of things to come over the weekend by boycotting Wednesday's national celebration of the 40th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem under Israeli rule. Notice the use of the word "rule", and not "occupation"--the terminology of choice used by the global media coverage of this week's events. In so doing, America continues to pressure God's country with a clear message: "You must give up East Jerusalem." Read this article in its entirety: Jerusalem Day

Cause of Death: Apathy

May 10, 2007 - A 62-year old Israeli man was killed earlier this week in a town just south of Tel Aviv when his moped was struck while he attempted to pass a cement truck. In an age in which everyone is simply in a hurry to get nowhere--and fast--road fatalities are nothing new. In Israel, this incident only adds to an existing and unfavorable statistical record of traffic fatalities.

However, this particular incident warrants not only a second look, but deep scrutiny as well. As the video you are about to see shows (To view, click picture), Moshe Yisraeli is seen lying on his back in the middle of the street whilst bleeding to death as a seemingly endless caravan of rush hour drivers steer their vehicles around his body not with the intention of coming to his aid and possibly saving his life, but to avoid running him over as they apathetically and pathetically continued to their destinations.

It should be said that the video does indeed show multiple drivers who eventually stopped to assist Mr. Yisraeli, albeit it comprises a very small portion of the footage. However, the mere fact that, as he bled to death on his back in the middle of an intersection, several dozen drivers went out of their way to redirect their paths around his body without any intention of stopping makes this incident of "road apathy"very difficult to comprehend.

Such is the immoral nature of the immoral world in which we immorally live...
