Prove me, God wrong

What a great God we have and serve. He makes a way when there seems to be no way. He is King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. He is our everything. Exactly what Charlie Kirk was teaching and, oh, the lives he touched by telling the truth about our precious Savior.

This is a different time we live in now. So many things fulfilling God’s Word. He is seeking His bride. I believe with all my heart this is a revival starting like never before. I also believe it could be God’s last altar call, to be prepared for Jesus coming. It thrills my heart to know soon, and very soon, God is going to tell His Son, “Go get my children.”

Oh, if you are saved by the precious blood that Jesus shed so we could be saved, then it should thrill your heart, too.

But, if you are not saved, you do not know that feeling and excitement. If you are lost, you will spend eternity in hell with Satan, where the worm dieth not and the fires is not squelched. This is Bible, folks, it is gonna happen. But you don’t have to go there, Jesus is still calling for you to be saved.

Jesus loves you, and oh so much. He died a horrible death so we could be saved. No man has ever suffered like this man, all of you and me. Please don’t leave here without Him, He is still pleading.

Let me leave you with this: Say you don’t believe in Jesus and Him crucified and rose again. Then you when you die, then you will just be gone! But what if this is true and you didn’t believe, then you will be in flames and torment forever and ever! Please don’t way, the time is now to be saved.

Think on this, my prayer is for everyone who wants and are willing to be saved will be before it’s too late.

Jews will win all their land

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas Muslims crossed Israel’s border, killed 1,200 Jews, and took 251 hostages back to hell on Earth – Gaza tunnels. Why would they do such a dastardly deed?  What was their motive? Was it warranted? Could it be a land dispute from long ago? Is it spiritual guidance declaring “Holy War” vowing to destroy all Jews and reclaim all the land of Palestine?

According to Genesis, (the only truth you can believe), about 1700 BC God promised Abraham and all his descendants the land known as Canaan, which today is called Israel. It included all of Gaza, the West Bank and a part of today’s surrounding countries.   

In 1004 BC, King David established Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, where King Solomon built the first temple. In 931 BC, Israel was divided into two nations, the Kingdom of Israel in the north with Samaria as its capitol. The Kingdom of Judah made up the south, ruled by Davidic kings with Jerusalem as its capitol.   

For centuries to follow, the Jews were persecuted by Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Greeks and Romans, who renamed the land Palestine. After being run out of their homeland and spending 70 years in captivity Cyrus the Great returned them to Israel. They lived without a king while rebuilding Jerusalem’s temple and walls.

In 636 AD, they saw Islam spread to the region by a series of Arab conquests. An Islamic Shrine, called The Dome of the Rock, was built in Jerusalem on the site of the ruins of the second temple. Jerusalem had become a “Holy City” of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Post World War I found Britain taking Palestine and renaming it “British Mandate of Palestine.” Britain pushed out the Ottoman Turks, then split the land with Arabs and Jews.

World War II would bring the Holocaust to the Jews, and many tried to flee to Palestine. Post World War II, with tensions rising between Palestinians and Jews, Britain decided to pull out of the area and leave the region guarded by the newly formed United Nations. In 1947, Jews made-up one-third of the population when the U.N. proposed a two-state solution with a Jewish state receiving 56% of the land and the Palestinians receiving the rest.

By 2013, Israel had faced war with the Arabs, the PLO, a Six-Day War, the Yom Kippur war, Camp David Accords, the first Intifada, the Oslo Accords and several Gaza wars.

In the end, the Jews will win their land. God surveyed the boundaries, and the Jews will live in Israel again.
