THE TARSUS TURN http://tarsusturn.posterous.com Abre mis ojos posterous.com Tue, 04 Sep 2012 01:56:00 -0700 Three Keys to Revelation http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/three-keys-to-revelation http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/three-keys-to-revelation

Seal and Unseal - Biblical Prophecy: In the Book of Daniel 12:4, Daniel is told to seal up a book of prophecy. In Revelation 22:10, John is told not to seal up the prophetic words in the Book. We are living in a time of accelerated revelation, where " Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” (Dan 12:4). We certainly live in a time of expedited travel and exponential access to knowledge (as opposed to wisdom). Steam engine, Moon travel, Internet etc...

 

 

Eschatology is the study of "Last Things" and the intrepid Christian will study Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation and the prophecies of Jesus diligently in order, like Issachar, to "understand the times and know what to do." (1 Chronicles 12:32). Jesus was concerned that we who are His should watch and pray (Matt 24:42), "can ye not discern the sign of the times? (Matt 16:3).

 

 

 

Three keys to revelation may help guide our navigation of the days leading up to the Day of the Lord.

 

KEY # 1 THE TEMPER OF OUR TIMES

 

 

When good is called evil and evil is called good (Isaiah 5:20), we see the full grown seed of the Edenic deception (you shall be as god, knowing good and evil) where man in committing deicide elevated himself to the position of god (self-deification), determining what is good and evil contrary to God's established creation order.

 

In the 21st century, the unthinkable has become the possible if not the actual.

 

'Same sex marriage' is now lauded as an item for justice, Christian opposition to it is deemed evil, bigoted, prejudice. This is an inversion of the moral order; from the criminalisation of sodomy to the criminalisation of Christianity where it engages in speech opposing the normalisation of homosexuality.

 

Abortion continues apace, the Swiss Parliament is debating consensual incest. A close study of Leviticus 18 and the consequences of following in the Ordinances of the Canaanites/Egyptians, as the Israelites were warned not to, should be closely examined: John McTernan's excellent study is a must-read: "Homosexuality vs God's Holiness: The Ordinance of the Amorites" 

 

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Romans 1:28-32

 

Question: Are you distressed by ”the filthy lives of lawless men”? 2 Peter 2:7-9 Or indifferent?

 

  

 

 

If the land is sick (Leviticus 18), it vomits. We are called to stand in the gap (Ezekiel 22:29-31) so God would not have to destroy a land which is marinating in lawlessness and to intercede for healing for the land   

if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chron 7:14

 

Lawlessness makes the land sick. What is lawlessness? Sin is lawlessness (1 John 3:4-5) and corporate lawlessness gives rise to

 

(a) Judgment (Ezekiel 22:29-31)

 

(b) lovelessness in the church (Matt 24:12)

 

Lovelessness in the church accelerates the loss of Christian Vision, Identity and Conscience and speeds up assimilation into the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. Arrogance, self-righteousness, self-sufficiency and a turning away from God.

 

Those who assimilate out of fear will have a spirit of effeminacy and the loss of the warriors heart, full of compromise, cowardice and passivity. (Judges 5:8 When they chose new gods, war came to the city gates, and not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel

 

KEY # 2 ISRAEL AS GOD'S TIME CLOCK

 

 

 

 

 

 

a)  Can a nation be born in a Day? Isaiah 66:8 - Yes, Israel, 14 May 1948.

 

 

The National Miracle of Israel  

  • How was it not annihilated in the face of overwhelming odds? On its first day, Israel was attacked by 12 armies and had only 1 tank and 5 cannons with which to fight back.
  • How did Hebrew become the only dead language in history to be revived after 2000 years?
  • How did the Israelis manage to turn a land which is 80% desert into one of the largest food and flower exporter in the world?
  • Why does Israel have the greatest concentration in terms of incredible achievements in science, medicine, and new technologies?

 

Through Abraham's seed, all the nations of the world are blessed as Yahweh promised?  

 

   

b) Jerusalem trampled until the times of the Gentiles are over:  They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles (Luke 21:24)until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled

 

 

 

  Two Jewish captivities

 

a) Babylonian Captivity: 605 BC - destruction of Temple and Jerusalem in 586 BC and Cyrus Decree permitting return of exiled Jews in 538 BC

 

b) Roman destruction of Jerusalem  - 70 AD

 

Jerusalem trampled by Gentiles   

  • Ottoman Turkish Period: 1516-1917  
  • British Rule and Mandate: 1917-1948  
  • Rebirth of Jewish State: 14 May 1948 (West Jerusalem under Israel's control, East Jerusalem, including Mt Zion, under Jordan)  
  • Reunification of Jerusalem as a Jewish City: 1967 Six Day War  
  • 1980 Basic Law: Jerusalem, Capital of Israel (Israel’s eternal capital) Jerusalem, complete and united, is the capital of Israel  

 There are constant attempts to divide Jerusalem

 

  • UN Security Council Resolution 478 (1980), 14 votes, USA abstained – called for Basic Law to be rescinded, contrary to int’l law
  • PLO Constitution (1968): Art 7 declares Jerusalem as seat of PLO
  • Unilateral Declaration of Independence of 1988: ‘State’ of Palestine
  • PLO and UN Intrigue – resolutions to declare future Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as capital, return to pre 1967 borders
  • May 2011: Obama calls for peace based on pre 1967 Borders (hiss!)
  • June 1, 2011: PM Benjamin Netanyahu: "Jerusalem will never be divided. There's nothing more holy to us than Jerusalem, we'll protect Jerusalem, it's unity and we'll build and develop it."

 

A key to understanding the future of the Middle East - Edomite Confederation: Psalm 83

 

 

 

KEY # 3: SPIRITUAL LAWS AND PRINCIPLES

 

Obadiah 1:15 (as thou has done to Israel)

 

·     "The day is near when I, the LORD, will judge all godless nations! As you have done to Israel, so it will be done to you. All your evil deeds will fall back on your own heads. NLT

 

·    Now the Lord had said to Abram: Get out of your country, from your family and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." (Gen. 12:1-3)

 

If a nation blesses Israel, it is blessed and vice versa. America was used to bless Israel and was even the first nation to recognise its existence in May 1948. Now america the brave has become america the depraved and not only is the US exporting and imposing blatant immorality through its foreign policy (forcing the LGBT agenda on the rest of the world), the current president is calling for the division of the land of Israel. Has this brought judgment? Consider:

 

So while the core issues of the conflict must be negotiated, the basis of those negotiations is clear: a viable Palestine, and a secure Israel. The United States believes that negotiations should result in two states, with permanent Palestinian borders with Israel, Jordan, and Egypt, and permanent Israeli borders with Palestine. The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states. The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state (Obama, May 2011)

 

 

 

 

  

Netahyahu: 1967 Lines Are Indefensible

 

 

May 22, 2011: Tornado in Joplin, - Missouri: US$3b damage - As America has done to Israel?

 

 

 

 

Joel 3:2 “I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up My land.”

Sat, 04 Aug 2012 19:05:00 -0700 God cannot be mocked http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/god-cannot-be-mocked http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/god-cannot-be-mocked

 

  

America has been undergoing one of its worst heat waves in June-July 2012. Colarado fires. There is a correlation between this and its immorality, lead top-down by the Obama administration and bottom-up by wicked Hard Left fascists promoting the sodomite agenda and the equalisation of homosexuality with God's divine creation order.

 

Leviticus 18: if you defile the land, you will be spewed out; because the land is sick. When Cain murdered Abel, Abel's blood cried out from the earth. Nothing is hidden from the eyes of a just and holy God.

 

Genesis 15:16 carries the principle of the iniquity of the Amorites (now Americans) being full - America has walked in the ordinances (law and custom) of the sodomites.

 

Slouching towards Gomorrah? Isaiah 5:20 - evil is called good? We are there. Obama declared June 2012 LGBT pride month. And Obama wanted to divide the land of Israel. And Obama bowed to the Saudi Arabian king. The confluence of events is a clear sign of the latest incarnation of the anti-christ Spirit, its relentless push for immorality and anti-Semitism.

 

But God is not to be mocked: there are reports of a impending food crisis - because of the heat, the corn and soybean crop have failed - this will put an entire industry into recession, with global implications. The ethanol industry will fail. Prices will soar. Wicked America. It used to bless the world, now it has become a curse. Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to the American people. Stage 3 of the Romans 1 degeneration.

 

May God have mercy on the righteous who dwell in that land. Remnant.

 

The articles below sets it out.

 

  1. The weakening of crop like corn, soybean - rising prices, domestic food inflation
  2. As prices rise, farmers may feed livestock more wheat - rising prices - global inflation (Arab uprisings - stockpiling wheat from Algeria to Saudi Arabia)
  3. Herds are culled - prices depressed - nothing to feed them
  4. Decline of ethanol industry

 

U.S. drought pushes world to food crisis July 20, 2012, UPI - The worst U.S. drought in 56 years is pushing the world to a food crisis, officials said as scorching Midwest heat sent corn and soybean prices to record highs

 

The world is closer to a food crisis than most people realise, Guardian UK 24 Jul 2012

There are consequences to iniquity:

 

He turns rivers into a wilderness… A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. Psalm 107:33, 34

 

But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full. Genesis 15:16

 

After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances. Leviticus 18:3

 

Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered. Proverbs 11:21

 

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God Psalm 9:17

.

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Jude 1:7

 

Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. Isaiah 1:7

 

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:24

 

He and she who has eyes to see and ears to hear, awaken and arise.

 

Noah. Ark. Warning. Mocking. Judgment.

 

The 21st century incarnation of the anti-christ spirit. Mystery Babylon. Humanism, Hubris, Homosexuality.

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 00:00:00 -0700 Everyone who speaks for righteousness will be persecuted: Cautionary Tales from America http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/everyone-who-speaks-for-righteousness-will-be http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/everyone-who-speaks-for-righteousness-will-be

The CEO of Chick-fil-A, an american fast food company supports traditional marriage and in an age where other chains like Starbucks declare their support for same-sex marriage (SSM), its CEO Dan Cathy said:

“I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, ‘We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,’” Cathy said on the Ken Coleman Show. “I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think we can try to define what marriage is all about.”

For supporting traditional marriage, the Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and the Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has basically vowed to keep Chick-fil-A from coming to their cities. Bigots. Christophobia in practice.

When Chick-a-fil donated lunches to a healthy marriage seminar, gay activists took exception and urged liberals to boycott the restaurant. Economic pressures from the Hard, Radical Left. Their bullying tactics are well known.

See Chick-fil-A CEO Says US Inviting God's Judgment , Charisma News, 22 July 2012

Former Lesbian Janet Boynes argues we must speak out for righteousness against the normalisation of homosexuality, and warns that "we are going to be despised and targeted."

As Christians, we have to get used to the fact that, in the case of same-sex marriage, militant homosexuals and their fellow travelers will not tolerate anyone who suggests that their sinful lifestyle is anything but normal and worthy of celebration. If we stand up and declare that homosexuality is sinful—and make no mistake: We Must!—we are going to be despised and targeted.

I understand well the cost of taking a public stand. As a person who lived a homosexual lifestyle for 14 years before being set free by the blood of Jesus, I know the process by which these activists will try to destroy and defame anyone who opposes their agenda. The very fact that I boldly declare a person can be set free from this bondage makes me a special target of their rage.

Plain and simple, the homosexual activist community will not tolerate any opinion that challenges their lifestyle, that opposes same-sex marriage and that invites those enchained in same-sex attraction to step into freedom and deliverance through Christ.

There is no common ground between darkness and light, and—like Dan Cathy has demonstrated—the church must be willing to stand and declare the truth with clarity and compassion, and be prepared for the resulting backlash.

The Dan Cathy Example: It’s Time to Stand for Righteousness , Charisma News 27 July 2012

As someone wisely observed: I think the moment someone chooses to be wimpy, there's a strange blinding effect on their eyes and ears and mind.

We all have the duty to speak Truth to Power, actively.
