Keys. To understand The Good Book.

Are you worthy of victory?

Are you worthy of victory?

The second crusade (1144), still motivated by the desire to defend eastern Christians from the vicious Muslim invasions, went so badly that many reflected back on themselves in the West that the failure was their lack of purity.  (This led to movements such as Franciscan simplicity and could be partly why protestantism developed later, ETC)  For similar reasons today there is an awakening to look for purity that leads to victory not shame and failure.  The West has largely thrown the baby out with the bathwater of churchy failings.  It has generally been swapped for an amazing belief in a magical beginning by chance millions of years ago.  A belief system which robs all meaning from life; rejecting The Maker who chose Abraham 4000 years ago.  This dominant thinking persecutes the believer who takes the Good Book seriously.  It however has absolutely no solution to the Islamic revival taking place.  The cause for Western failures, regarding understanding and responding to Islam today, is partly the arrogance which presumes money or tolerance will win over Mohammedans to “our ways”, as if they would want to!  The chaos of flooding ‘sin’ is not on Western minds as they have magicked away ‘sin’ by pretending The Maker is not there.  Remember too that martyrdom is less attractive without 72 virgins or worse no after-life at all!  The West is in more trouble than ever.  Yet many will riot for better pay when the money is fictional.  The West is finished in its present form.  The enemy is “within the gates” through Eurabian policy; a trojan horse.  

The key is not to simply understand the good motives of those who went crusading between 1095 and 1291 (the recent ‘crusades’ in the last twenty years were surely less purely motivated?).  Some good may come from physical fights against IS(and Hamas, Muslim Bros, etc),  but to seek that purity; of thought and action......    The Maker in His kindness is using Islam and the fall of the West to take us MUCH deeper than just back to Richard the Lionheart.  Not a revival of anything we have known over the last 2700 years(<-  a clue).  Oh there is MUCH more to find if we ask, knock and seek.  Christianity has been a greenhouse for 2000 years.  There have been various types of churches differing in their level of understanding but always missing some major KEYS which make sense of history; a better BIRD’S EYE VIEW.   Christianity has been limited by having almost always all of these keys missing;

Key:  “Follow ALL The Maker’s Instructions”  The Majority of Christianity taught or still teaches that Messiah paid for our sin to free us from Following The Maker’s Instructions......this is getting Paul so wrong!  “Those who teach against the least of the commandments are least in The Kingdom”.  Torah.  It is not following The Maker’s instructions that got us into this trouble in the first place.  Nationally and individually.  His annual feasts are not finished with! Pig is not ok to eat (even the Muslims know that) neither is prawn.  Right and wrong is defined by these instructions; starting with the top ten but all are for our good.  The Shabbat(Sabbath) remains a good weekly gift.  

Key:  “We are in Exile”  Hosea chapter 1.  Joseph’s blessings.  Grafted back into Israel (or joining Israel for the first time as did those in the first Exodus).  

Key:  “Exodus II”   “He has heard our cry” The next rescue of The Maker will be after the plagues as with the first exodus.   No “beam me up” before the trouble that is coming.  But the rescue will be before the destruction of this generation’s army of ‘Pharaoh’.  Even if we are beamed up, we land back here on earth (-if we are counted worthy!)

Key: “The Happy Ending”, The Great Shabbat: The 1000 year rule of Messiah.  Both houses of Israel re-united as a light to the other nations which are left after the “great tribulation”....here on Earth. “Your Kingdom come your will be done on EARTH as it is in the Heavens” - sitting on clouds, playing a harp....is not biblical.  The great expectation is of The restored Kingdom as it was with King David (only better than before!)

( note for my Jewish friends;   Going to protect the christians in Iraq today by attacking IS is seen as good, even if mistakes are made, yet IS calls those attacking them “Crusaders”.    It is fashionable to see the crusades as motivated by greed and “anti-semitism”.  That is mostly untrue.  Sometimes Jews were killed when they took sides with Muslims and there were times when Jews were attacked without sanction from leaders back in Europe.  Obviously some terrible things were done by “Crusaders”(they were not called that back in that era).  For Jews and lovers of Jews like myself, it is time to let go of notions like the “golden age of Judaism” in the heart of Muslim lands as Dhimis; Mosheh ben Maimon/Rambam’s perspective was always going to favour his master’s over his master’s enemies; the Christians.  It has been terrible for Jews where ever they were )

“Émigrér out of her my people”

“Émigrér out of her my people” 

In my little Sukkah, which teaches me everything, is a desert without limits. 

Its four posts; prayer, meditation, fasting, and manual work, are strong. 

Monstrous distractions weaken over time with a little trust.

Restored to the few are the orderly maps of the internal landscape; 

Torah; Joshua's easy yoke. 

More than 2700 years of rebellion leaves much debris to clear from the old paths.  

Joy in the house that Jacob built, fuels us to do the impossible.  Alone, we pioneer for the many who will return together along the arc of exile. 

Sand on the shore and stars in the heavens, yet only a remnant for The Happy Ending here on earth.

"Come away with me"

Good News! - The Bad News is temporary.

Follow The Makers Instructions

Go with the flow-----straight down the plug hole!

Or 

Stand out and risk your neck.

YHWH is Good.

.....that is if you want the Pearl of Greatest Price.

Because you need to see that we are in.........

BUT.........

HALLELUYAH

Fathering in the wilderness.

It’s a journey.  As pioneers back into following The Maker’s Instructions we ask ourselves why us and not others.  There are some answers to that.  For example I think that I was always an outsider due to circumstances beyond my control.  This made it easier for me to wander off into the wilderness with YHWH.  But I still found that I ended up being “pew filler” for some man with a ministry, always looking for the leader who could tell me what to think.  Or at times I just got depressed and overwhelmed with the situation of being alone. 

There is a “crisis in masculinity”, we have often not been fathered or at least not well.  Into that vacuum comes all sorts of sickness.  The unhealthy “masculine counterfeit” tries to conform people into its own image or submit inappropriately to others.  It tries to explain everything and doesn’t cope well with not having “all the answers” and explanations. It’s not good at being like a little child before Him. Following The Maker’s Instructions will be affected by these things.  We have not been pioneering in vain.  The Father knows that the very wilderness experience brings up to the surface these things.  Either we burn ourselves out trying to please Him (His yoke is easy, His burden is light) or we will crash into something or other (pride comes before a fall).  All this is in His full knowledge.  He is waiting for us “while we are a long way off” to heal and fill all the gaps in our hearts.   He is doing what He promised he would.  It’s all about Him.  

There are those who understand much about our “unfatheredness” yet they will never be able to help much if they stagnate, refusing to see the place of the Torah in the healing journey. They can only heal a little.  YHWH heals completely. Come out of her my people.  Follow The Maker’s Instructions.  Have courage and wait in the vacuum, between Judaism and Christianity(we can still learn from both).  In the wilderness of the nations.  Watch and see what He will do. Greater is the exodus to come than the wonderful one we remember each Passover. HalleluYah. 

What mean these proud buildings now in disrepair?    

Illusions of grandeur in exile, in denial of The Great Rejection.

By trust in the diminished gospel, slaves remain slaves and dreamers stop dreaming.

The narrative punctured, deflated by the pie in the sky opiate.

Replacementist blind guides herd their controlled ones.

Well away from the danger of the knife of Abraham.

Guarding those lawless foreskins with their hireling hearts.

A real Joseph, though veiled in Egyptian cotton, restored to his father.

Not one of the lost sheep of Israel will be left behind.

A happy ending.  A richer promise. 

The Happy Ending, restoration of His nation.

The popular christian view of the future, from all I read and heard, is that we get a ticket to heaven and will sit on the clouds playing a harp, or as has been said "Pie in the sky when you die".  I searched the Bible.  The future foretold is of the nation of Israel being restored and of the people of Israel once again ‘Following The Maker’s Instructions‘ as they were always meant to.  And after Israel is restored, then all the earth will experience a happy ending as Israel fulfils their role and place.   

The second chapter of Daniel in the Bible contains one of the most interesting and 'simple' tools to measure where we are in The Maker's time scale.  The consecutive empires which temporarily ‘replace’ Israel during the exile punishment are pictured as parts of a statue.  Babylon the head, Medo-Persia the shoulders, Greece the waist, Rome the legs, and then one final empire: The feet of iron and clay.  Universally the feet and toes were interpreted by western christians as a revived Roman empire, usually seen in a 1984 New World Order conspiracy kind of way.  This Elitist conspiracy theory is considered ‘global’ as understood today, rather than the ‘global’ of the previous four empires which were all middle-eastern.  It chokes out any expectation of an earthly out-come worth waiting for.   I accepted this as certain for 23 years.   About 5 years ago I saw an alternative understanding which actually fits history, instead of the revived Rome interpretation which leaves a 1300 year gap to be somehow explained.  Islam replaced the Eastern Roman empire over the land of Israel and therefore it is the ‘feet and toes’, or last empire before Israel, both houses (not just the Jewish part!) is restored to how it was under King David.  This is the desired Happy Ending we have all been waiting for.   “Your Kingdom come, your will be done on EARTH” makes sense at last.

Many people are stirred up about Israel's restoration and many pray for it.  However they for the most part don't imagine for one minute that they are meant to be grafted into the nation of Israel.  This is the thing Yeshua and his followers went around calling people to.  He didn’t talk about his death and resurrection.  The good news was that the time of rejection was over.  Not because we had turned round enough but “for His name’s sake”.  Yet most people think they have heard the gospel.  Now is the time to call people back to following The Maker’s Instructions and to become UNSETTLED where they live, in readiness for the greater Second Exodus.  This is the harvest gathering back to the land of Israel where we will be, once again, His people and He will be with us.

Passover is about Israel’s exodus from Egypt, Yeshua redeeming us from being slaves to sin with powerful forgiveness, AND in the near future He will rescue His people from exile, bringing them back to their home land.  

I know all this.  I’ve seen all this.  Yet the challenge for me is to allow the truth of His love to change me from being the traumatised child, one able to see things as an outsider but unable to fit in, into being an adopted son able to face the troubles that are coming as part of the nation being ingathered.   

As the plagues are repeated on a much bigger scale in prelude to the Second Exodus, we will see much trouble.  Who among us will prove to be trusting children?  This refining process will end with a worthy people fit to serve The Most High as a light to the other nations left after our ingathering.  

How then shall we live?

Whispered words - Be Unsettled

Whispered words raise me, lukewarm to hot.

Quantum change from slave to son.

Coming whether your are ready or not.

Ambiguity melting, evaporating.

Stark battle lines.

I’m vibrating at the frequency that moves mountains.

His doing. His timing.

Tipping the scales till naturalist won’t think it natural.

Disaster plagues them, to let us go.

A lifetime of failed word combinations.

Yet the door swings open freely.

Time-lock activated resurrection.

Second Exodus a twist in the Book.

Who are you?

Where is your home?

Are you ready?

Be Unsettled
