Happy Purim and its reference to today: As such of Time as This!

Shalom:

To all of my friends and family. Know That God Loves you even if you don't know Him. Regardless of your belief system, the things of God are going to work in your life even if you understand or don't understand  GOD , The Bible and  How it works. A great understand of this is the Jewish celebration of Purim and the Story Of Queen Esther in the bible.

The Jewish celebration of Purim is a very significant celebration of how God's hand is in everything. The book of Esther doesn't mention God one time. However His work is very present and known. That is the reason God wants us to remember and celebrate his appointed times to understand and recognize He is in everything all the time.

It's more significant now then it ever was in time

You can see the relationship in what's going on today . Persia is Iran and they want to wipe Israel off the map. You can see Mordecia as Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netenyahu. One I could replace Obama with Haman making the bad deals like the recent nuclear deal that allows Iran to produce nuclear weapons, so that they can wipe Israel off the Map. 

Queen Esther can be related to the misguided church.  However, the bride of Jesus, who is a remnant , is here to help and advance God's kingdom and His chosen people, which is happening today, also who is grafted into the Olive Branch.

 Many in the Church believe a replacement type theology, this is a  misunderstanding, it is  believed when Jesus  died  and rose , that God no longer recognizes Israel or His people. Many in the Church don't understand  without the Tanakh and its promises there would be no Church or fulfillment of them, in-turn no new testament. However, there is a small remnant in the Church who is watching and waiting and praying , keeping their lamps full , for the return of Yeshua in His second coming , where as , The Jewish people not recognize His first arrival. Islam also recognizes a coming of an Islamic Messiah , who has every characteristic of The Bible's description of the Anti-Christ.  

Another tie-in is the False Prophet, who is written about in the Book of Revelation. He closely relates to this current Pope , who is quickly , friending many religions to come together as one , compromising , the very Essence and Mocking a One True God YHVH and lumping Him into many, so that people will believe this deception. This is the same in the Book of Esther. You See that Mordecia doesn't bow to any False Gods and certainly not to any Human King, because the fear and the reverence to a One True God was certain in His mind and soul and that it was forbidden to do that. We see today that many who call themselves Christians and Jews are compromising this and believe the Lie of the Idea that their are many ways to Get to God.Who are practicing many detestable things that YHVH doesn't approve of and say well Im saved. These things don't mix. This Pope stated very clearly in a speech during His visit to the U.S. that the " Cross was a failure." If The Pope represents anything of Jesus Christ, then He would of stated that it was a victory and not a failure and it was a fulfillment of prophecy of Isaiah 53 and many other scriptures.

We are seeing the pagan celebration of easter replacing Passover that is not in the Bible. The bible clearly spells it out as Jesus Celebrating Passover. Then after Passover He is crucified and 3 days later is risen. Passover is not in March , its in April the last week of April. So to say that the Church is recognizing the Holy week of The Life, Death and Jesus being Raised from the Dead this week is wrong. This is not keeping watch as Jesus Christ Clearly states. This is Why it so important to understand as a believer in Jesus Christ of how deep and wide your salvation is rooted in God Himself. But this is not the case in many ways from the Church. I hear often that there is no need to recognize the old testament and the laws of God because Jesus Died and takes away the law. Jesus never stated that. In Fact Jesus Stated that not one thing would be removed from it. God Himself gave these laws so that the Jews would recognize their sin. To able to  see how sinful they were. So that they could understand it from an internal heart issue not a obligation of steps like a 12 step program.You see God recognized people in the bible who understood this Like Joshua and Caleb, whose Heart was zealous for YHVH. The One True GOD of the Bible and Israel. It states that the Captain of God's Army visited Joshua Himself.  This Captain was the YHVH Himself , Yeshua incarnate .

Where is the Church today? Where are the Jews today? What do they stand on Today. You see , I do recognize both sides being a Jewish Believer in Christ. I see that lack of Zeal on both the Jews and the Church. That is why its important to know and understand  why it is to recognize these certain times and seasons. To rekindle that zeal.

 The celebration of Purim, and the Holocaust are very much the same in many ways. I don't think these two events are random. I very much believe it was a type of tribulation a shadow of the book of Revelation and we are starting to see it happen again but this time it will be the greatest and the worst the world will ever see.

It's very important to take time out daily to pray and spend quiet time in the presence of the Lord. To grow your relationship with Him . So you can hear what He saying and how he is guiding you .

Many of us want someone else to do the praying and hear from God for each of us . Jesus said to go into your room and close the door and pray to your Heavenly Father who is unseen. When you do this you will be rewarded . 

It's important to know how much God loves and cares for each of you . He wants you to come to Him so He can tell you Himself . Keep your lamps full. 

Amen

Passover : Keeping watch

Ezekiel 33 ; 1-6 (AMP)

The Watchman’s Duty

33 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,  “Son of man, speak to the sons of your people [who are exiled in Babylon] and say to them, ‘If I bring a sword on a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman,  and he sees the sword coming on the land, and he blows the trumpet and warns the people,  then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his [own] head.  He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning; his blood shall be on himself. But if he had taken warning, he would have saved his life.  But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any one of them, he is taken away because of his corruption and sin; but I will require his blood from the watchman’s hand.’

Matthew 24:42-44

"Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. "For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.

Shalom and Good morning:

I wanted to bring something of importance that the Lord has laid on my heart to share. It’s important to know the timing of God’s appointment.

In The Hebrew calendar the Passover is celebrated this years on the, from the 15th through the 22nd of month of Nissan which translates to April 22-30^th 2016.

Please note to special attention that there is a 7 day festival during this week of Passover, the feast of Unleavened Bread; for all to search through there homes and get rid of all leavened products in their homes. Following the  festival of unleavened bread is the Passover celebration. This has a great meaning to all of Us of How God delivers us from bondage out of Egypt and for those who believe Yeshua Is the Messiah How He became the Passover lamb redeeming us from eternal Bondage.

http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Holidays/Spring_Holidays/Unleavened_Bread/Anavah/anavah.html

Understanding of Gods appointed times doesn’t stop there. This is Gods appointed times to be watchful. Three days after Yeshua was crucified He resurrected. If we are to celebrate this appointed time appropriately with anticipation of a reminder of keeping watch, the resurrection celebration would be 3 days later. May 1^st would be what we called Resurrection Sunday, moreover three days later is actually May 3^rd.

These days are important to Keep because fifty days after the Passover is counted to Shavo’ut, The Giving of the Torah. However this is the same time of Pentecost.

http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Holidays/Spring_Holidays/Shavuot/shavuot.html

Why is Pentecost important to the church?

This day became especially significant for Christians because, seven weeks after the resurrection of Jesus, during the Jewish celebration of Shavuot/Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was poured out upon his first followers, thus empowering them for their mission and gathering them together as a church.

Its important to understand GOD’s appointed times (Moed). We are appointed to keep watch.

To understand the times and the seasons were in.This year the world is showing that Easter is celebrated on March 27^th. The pagan worship of Easter is actually problematic in its self. However it was used to substitute Passover. Its time table is being set to throw off God’s appointed times this year by a full month.

Keep watch so the thief is not able to break in.Amen!

For such a time as this!!!!!

 This is the theme for the book of Esther It's the celebration what the Jews call Purim.

http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Holidays/Winter_Holidays/Purim/purim.html

 The interesting thought to this is, where does God play His part in all of this . The whole book of Esther doesn't mention God or Lord. However, the overtones of God and His chosen people are clearly there. In the History of God and His chosen people, they are under attack and to be wiped off the map. The Jews are clearly the ones who were charged in all the land and the world, to be the keepers of the law, and the ones who were the people to be pure to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; The God of Israel, The Great "I AM," who spoke face to face to Moshe (Moses) in the wilderness, To YHVH (Hashem-the name of God).

So what's the catch today, how does this relate to you and I? Believers in Christ are one in the same. We believe that we are followers of the fulfillment and understanding of Yeshua's Ha-Moshiach (Jesus Christ- The anointed one of Israel, The Messiah) walk, teaching and atonement of our sin.

What does this mean for us? It means that we are the keepers of the law, by grace which abound, to be in continued repentance and surrender to GOD through Christ, to allow God to teach us and write His love and commands on our Hearts, we are grafted into the olive branch, Israel, to be pure and Holy, to a pure and Holy God.

When we get up each day, do you examine your lives and the integral part of this life, that God has given and ordained to us?

What part do we play in small and in large for such as a time as this?

Well what do we see, what time is it? If we open our eyes to reality, we live life inside a time frame where God's people are clearly under attack. Anyone who claims God YHVH and his pure salvation is clearly under attack.

Anyone who states that the God of the old testament is the same God of the new testament is clearly under attack. God is not dead! He has not changed! He still a pure and Holy God! What we are seeing is that many doctrines and theologies are now trying to approve and justify what is not of God to be of God. Using words word like love, salvation and judgment to justify unrighteous and unholy behavior. This is dangerous, especially in the eyes of the Lord.

The truth is, God does loves us and He does disciplines those He loves, however each one of us are responsible to the truth and understanding to His love, salvation, purity and judgment.

That brings me to the point, where are you today ? What time are we in as such as this? Is it all about you or is there a larger picture? What are you doing to understand this?

Today is time to do everything possible in spirit and in truth to come and surrender our hearts and minds to the Lord, so the truth can be in us. In a world of confusion, lust and selfishness;  do you give into the desires of the flesh for a moment of  self satisfaction,  that leaves you eternally empty, or are you pursuing an eternal fulfillment of how God desires our lives should be? 

GOD'S desire is to bless us and to love us into salvation on a daily basis. We have a daily choice to surrender ourselves to him, to be righteous daily. Living Holy lives without deceiving one another. Not moving the markers that God has set in stone on our hearts and minds. We are to not compromise His commands until death. That's what makes us different, Holy and peculiar unto Him.

This is what the Jews were called and still are called to do, that's what we are called to do. That's the time we are in! With these things, “As such as a time of this,” we are going to be different. The light is going to shine through us. That's what your here for.

In a dark and dying world, were  called to be examples and representatives of the Messiah Yeshua. We become the light of God through Yeshua. The dark will not want to be revealed, but the light will take away the darkness. The darkness loves it's sin and doesn't want to be exposed to this light that's why the light is being attacked.

Bruce Lee was one of the greatest martial artists of his time, said when water fills a cup it becomes the cup. He said be like the water become what the water forms itself too.

I'm no longer a proponent of the martial art system but one has to understand the spiritual world working in and around us. If demonic spiritual theology can understand this and produce super-paranormal doctrine and physical feats; then we, who are in GOD and Christ can produce a greater work that were charged to do. Every believer can do and produce greater works then Jesus did, why, because Jesus said so.

https://youtu.be/cJMwBwFj5nQ

 This is the greatest understanding of what we are called to, to become the light and fill the cup of Hope and salvation of God has for you and I. The light fills everything and in the light it cannot become dark. However, the opposite is true, the dark only fills what the light is not in.

What the light of God is and what it does cannot be extinguished if surrendered to.

Allow God's pure light into your heart, mind and soul at “such a time as this!”

Shalom
