The Abomination of Desolation and Roadmap for Peace

July 14th, 2009 mfrederick No comments

It is Jesus Himself who directly connects the
abomination of desolation of Daniel 9:27 with the Great
Tribulation in Matthew 24:15.

—————————————————————–
Mat 24:14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be
preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the
nations (happening only NOW, in our day), and then the
end will come.

Mat 24:15 “When, therefore, you see the abomination of
desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the
prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader
understand),

—————————————————————–
Dan 9:27 He (Antichrist) will confirm a covenant with
many for one ’seven.’ In the middle of the ’seven’ he will
put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of
the temple he will set up an abomination that causes
desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out
on him.”

—————————————————————–
What is this ‘wing of the temple’? All Israel is HaShem’s
temple, the land He promised to Abraham’s
descendants, to Jacob, to Israel forever. Esau has no
right to set up or settle on this land. The abomination of
desolation– in GAZA!
What is the Great Tribulation and how long will it last? It
involves a seven-year agreement or pact with death
between Israel and Antichrist. Antichrist breaks the
agreement half way through, and he is given authority
to make war for forty-two months (12 months + 12
months + 12 months + 6 months or 3 ½ years)
(Revelation 13:5).

—————————————————————–

Rev 13:5 A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy
was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two
months was given to him.
Rev 13:6 He opened his mouth for blasphemy against
God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those
who dwell in heaven.

—————————————————————–
The Roadmap for Peace by the Quartet is about to be
confirmed by Antichrist Putin for what is likely to be
seven years. This will trigger the seven-year countdown
of the Great Tribulation. Putin will break the agreement
half way through the seven years and all hell (literally)
will break loose. Here’s what the Holy Spirit had to say
through the apostle Paul.

—————————————————————–
1Th 5:2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the
Lord comes like a thief in the night.


1Th 5:3 For when they are saying, “Peace and safety
(or security) (Roadmap For Peace or Peace and Security
Agreements),” then sudden destruction will come on
them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they
will in no way escape.

—————————————————————–
This agreement or pact Israel makes is also described in
the book of Daniel (9:27), where Antichrist confirms the

agreement for seven years.

Revelation 13:7 does not support a pre-tribulation

rapture. If the saints have been raptured, how can the
beast or Antichrist make war with the saints and
overcome them? They must pass through the Great
Tribulation, and this (sharing in the suffering of Christ)
is how have they washed their robes (Revelation 7:13-
14)?

—————————————————————–
Rev 13:7 It was given to him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every
tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him.


Rev 13:8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him,
everyone whose name has not been written from the
foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb
who has been killed.


Rev 13:9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.


Rev 13:10 If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go
into captivity. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, he
must be killed. Here is the endurance and the faith of
the saints

—————————————————————–
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are decreed on your people and
on your holy city, to finish disobedience, and to make
an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity
(Christ accomplished on the cross), and to bring in
everlasting righteousness (future), and to seal up vision
and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.


Dan 9:25 Know therefore and discern, that from the
going forth of the commandment to restore and to build
Jerusalem to the Anointed One, the prince, shall be
seven weeks, and sixty-two weeks: it shall be built
again, with street and moat, even in troubled times.

Dan 9:26 After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One
(Christ Yeshua (Jesus)) shall be cut off, and shall have
nothing: and the people of the prince who shall come
shall destroy the city and the sanctuary (Titus and the
Romans); and its end shall be with a flood (armies), and
even to the end shall be war; desolations are
determined.

—————————————————————–
The abomination of desolation is not the tearing down
of the temple; it involves the setting up (or settling) of
something where it should not be (the settlement of
Esau in GAZA, or the land HaShem promised to Jacob, to
Abraham’s descendents forever).
It has to do directly with the Peace and Safety (or
Security) agreements beginning in March / April 1996.
The unsealing of the numbers in Daniel point to this one
specific date.
The so-called Peace and Security (or Safety) agreements
of the so-called “Roadmap For Peace” mark approach of
the second coming and the GREAT Tribulation that
precedes the END. Antichrist (Tsar Putin) doesn’t have to
make a new covenant; he simply confirms the existing
Roadmap.

—————————————————————–
Dan 9:27 He (Antichrist) will confirm a covenant with
many for one ’seven.’ In the middle of the ’seven’ he will
put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on a wing of
the temple he will set up an abomination that causes
desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out
on him.”

—————————————————————–

It is Jesus Himself who ties in this one
particular (specific) event (Daniel’s prophecy of the
setting up of the abomination that causes desolation)
with the seven-year agreement Antichrist (Tsar Putin)
makes with Israel and breaks halfway through the seven
years.
In Matthew 24, Jesus first gets the attention of His
disciples and begins the conversation about the End
Times by revealing the future destruction of the existing
temple, an event closer to the disciples’ immediate
worldview and concerns than the Great Tribulation and
the End Times.
Since Jesus is talking about the accomplishment of the
preaching of the good news to that whole world (only
being accomplished in our own day), then the
abomination of desolation He speaks of next is also in
our time.

—————————————————————–
Also, the times, time, and ½ time of Daniel came to an
end in 1946, when Satan exhausted his spiritual power
attempting to finally scatter the Holy People (Israel)
(Daniel 12:7). As of 1947 we are living in the END
Times. As the generation that witnessed the tender
shoots of the fig tree (Israel, 1948) sprouting, we will
see everything fulfilled that was written concerning the
END Times (Hosea 9:10; Matthew 24:32-34).

—————————————————————–
Mat 24:14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be
preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the
nations, and then the end will come.


Mat 24:15 “When, therefore, you see the abomination of
desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the
prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader
understand),


Mat 24:16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the
mountains.

—————————————————————–
Do you think this (Roadmap), the result of everyone
saying ‘peace and security (or safety)’ is the pact with
death or Sheol that leads to the final seven-year period?
Share you thoughts and give your perspectives on these
developments in the Middle East.
Do they match up with the prophesies of the End?

Peace in Christ Yeshua,

And There Was Light

July 6th, 2009 mfrederick No comments

Gen 1:3 God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

As human beings, by definition, we stumble in the darkness. We are born in the darkness of separation from our original Source, Garden, inner Temple of HaShem (the Name, Lord of Hosts, G_d).

HaShem said the light was good (Genesis 1:4). That light is Christ.  At first the light exists in Adam and Eve (the first Genesis)

Gen 1:26 God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Gen 1:27 God created man in his own image. In God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.

We lost (and continue to lose) contact with our inner light (Christ) by eating from the tree of matter (dust, human knowledge) and the grip of sin or the darkness prevents us from finding a way back to the light and the Garden within us. We are asleep in the Adam dream and cannot wake ourselves. We sleep in the dust of the earth (the human body) (Daniel 12:2).  The inner Holy of Holies where the light resides in us becomes veiled from our view by the body of darkness (Exodus 26:33). This veil is the second Genesis of dust or clay.

This is the veil that Christ came to remove for us (Mark 15:38).

Gen 2:5 No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,
Gen 2:6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.


Gen 2:7 Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The Serpent came and tempted them to leave HaShem’s beautiful Garden of Delights, and they are kept out by Cherubim who block their return to Paradise with a fiery sword.

Gen 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

How did we lose the light and forsake the image and likeness of G_d  (Christ consciousness and nature) we were first created in by HaShem through the Word or the light (John 1:3)? Genesis (and Revelation) tell us that the powerful angel Lucifer fell and precipitated the fall of a full third of the angels, in the process becoming Satan, the enemy, the accuser, the Serpent, the dragon, the prince of this world.

So, HaShem made a plan to save us; but first He had to make us aware of the darkness we had fallen into; so He gave us the Law and prophets. The blood of bulls and lambs were a temporary solution pointing the to the Lamb of God, promising salvation by the light for all who trust in the cleansing blood of the true Lamb of HaShem (Christ Yeshua), whose blood was poured out on the cross. Christ Yeshua is the first to rise from the dead (darkness). This Messiah also has the power and authority to lift each one of us into the original light we were created in and out of the darkness. All we have to do is believe Him!

Joh 5:24 “Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn’t come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

HaShem had a plan to send the light (Christ Yeshua, Jesus) into the darkness and to restore as many as He could of His children who fell into the darkness.  The entire Old Testament testifies about this coming light (Messiah) who would allow anyone who believes in Him (Christ Yeshua, Jesus) to be purchased out of the dominion and power of the darkness as a bride was once purchased by her husband to be. Your life was bought at a heavy price; it belongs to Yeshua (Jesus). Don’t live it your way; live it His Way.

Yeshua is in the light and the light is in Yeshua. Only Yeshua can dispel the darkness and return us to the light of Paradise that is veiled within us. We have fallen from a great heavenly light into a deadly sleep or Adam dream or darkness (Revelation 2:5).Yeshua (Jesus) is the light that illuminates every person. Yeshua loves you enough to die for you on the cross. Really.

Forget your own selfish ideas and wants of the darkness; take up your cross, crucify (the material self or person of the darkness) desires and fears and follow Yeshua. Only Yeshua can heal you of all sin and conquer the darkness to bring you all the way back home to the Garden of Delights or Paradise. Walk in Yeshua (Jesus) (John 8:12); walk in the light (Yeshua), and become children of the light (John 12:36). Praise Yeshua (Jesus), the light of HaShem, Who is able to make you completely healed or whole in HaShem!

Peace only in Yeshua (Jesus)

Love,

Michael

Two Trees and a Garden (Within Us) Full Version

June 17th, 2009 mfrederick No comments

Two Trees and a Garden; the Exodus Within

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

We learn more about this beginning of creation in the first chapter of the Gospel of John; notice that Genesis reports that everything the Word created was good. Not only was it good; it was very good.

Genesis 1:31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

The first creation was light, pure, good, so where do sin, disease, errors, lack, and limitation (evil) come from? Genesis 3 tells us how the serpent enticed mankind to eat from the tree (dimension, dream, worldview) of the knowledge of good and evil, the tree of dust, sin, death and human knowledge; most of mankind has continued to seek or worship human knowledge (science, art, literature) rather than the Life, the knowledge of HaShem.

John 1:2 -1:14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.

The first Genesis of light (as children of God Genesis 1:27; Psalm 82:6) was veiled (Exodus 26:33-35) (overlaid, obscured) by the second Genesis of clay or dust. Although we live in the darkness of sin, the second Genesis has not overcome the light (Christ) in us; it has simply blocked (veiled) Christ in us, the son of God or daughter of God from our awareness and our view.

Baptism is a pledge of good conscience towards HaShem (1Peter 3:21). Baptism dissolves the first veil leading to the Holy Place of conscience within. Baptism opens the Holy Place in the inner temple or Garden within us so we can again eat the Bread of Life and experience the Presence of the Father directly, personally (Hebrews 9:13-14). Then, as we are reborn of God through trust, through faith in Christ Yeshua, Yeshua (Jesus) begins to dissolve the second veil leading to the Holy of Holies within or the tree of Life (Christ) (Hebrews chapter 9).

For our salvation Christ tore the veil of His own body on the cross; Christ came to remove the veil (Exodus 26:33-35; Mark 15:38) between us and the tree of Life (the Father) within. Christ is the image and likeness of our first Genesis, the image and likeness of HaShem (God). Praise HaShem! Christ came to free us; Yeshua (Jesus) came to reveal (uncover) our first nature, our first Genesis by HaShem (Luke 15:18-24)! Praise Christ Yeshua (Jesus)! Not by any human (power) effort or works (Zechariah 4:6), our faith in His Lamb brings rebirth as sons and daughters of HaShem (Galatians 3:26; John 1:12-13).

Satan works very diligently to convict and accuse us (especially Christians) of sin (Job 1:6-11; Zechariah 3:1-4; Matthew 4:1-11; Romans 7:24); we are even more vulnerable to Satan today because we (falsely) believe in our own cultural and scientific superiority–in science, literature, technology and not HaShem and the Bible; in our arrogance, we believe we are too sophisticated and modern for (what we are led to believe are) biblical myths and superstitions; we think it acceptable and liberal to approve of sexual sin; we cannot deny our sin and be saved because in doing so we make HaShem a liar (1John 1:8-10). Satan and his demons have more success now because we don’t believe Scripture.

Satan convinces us we are tech savvy, advanced, modern. He whispers that the Law is outdated. Satan teaches self gratification, self preservation, greed, and sexualizes the people around us, making them objects to be manipulated for our own satisfaction and pleasure. Satan teaches us pride in our own knowledge (degrees, expertise, achievements) and our technical, moral, cultural, religious, or ethnic superiority.

Fallen sons and daughters of HaShem, why do you want to die (Proverbs 14:12)? Repent of your sins, turn and live (Ezekiel 18:32)! We eat from the forbidden tree of (human) knowledge; we perish in our sin and we don’t rise up again. Or we do rise up briefly, only to meet the condemnation (Daniel 12:2) and judgment of the second death (Revelation 20:14). Circumcision is needed, not of the flesh, but of the heart before Christ Yeshua (Mark 10:15). The fallen mind (serpent) must be raised by the understanding (bronze) of the new relationship to the Father within that is given through the cross of Yeshua the Christ (John 3:14; Romans 12:2; Titus 3:5).

We are often victims of our own pride. We fall easy prey to Satan and his demons’ tricks (wiles) precisely because we don’t believe Scripture; we don’t accept the testimony of the Father through His prophets with the attitude of little children (Matthew 18:3). Satan and his demons are able to work unseen, by the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2). The worst of the Internet, television, radio, and video games are just some visible manifestations of Satan’s power to broadcast sin, violence, sensuality, and to foster desires (lusts) and fears. Satan and his demons also broadcast directly into our minds; this is less true once we are saved (in Christ) and when we regularly consume the body (Word) and the blood (Holy Spirit). Praise the Holy Spirit (John 6:55)!

We conquer fear and desires through stillness (Psalm 46:10) before HaShem. The twin flaming swords (burning emotions in us) of fear and lusts (Genesis 3:24) are the guardians or Cherubim HaShem placed at the gate of paradise (within us) to keep those who are carnal minded from entering Paradise, to prevent those who eat from the forbidden tree (knowledge, sin) from also eating of the tree of Life and living in eternal sin and misery (Genesis 3:22).

Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the (fiery) flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of Life.

The fiery sword of the burning emotions (fear and beastlike desires) (Isaiah 6:2; Revelation 4:6) keeps us from eating from the tree of Life within; it prevents us from experiencing what is behind the veils in the temple. The number of their wings (6) tells us these four beasts are forces (rising up as beasts) in man. Both the bronze sea (2Kings 16:17; Revelation 4:6; Revelation 15:1) and the sea of glass represent purification from burning (fiery) (Numbers 21:8) desires through the stillness HaShem gives. Yeshua gives us His peace (John 14:27).

Only faith in the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Revelation 5:6) gives us victory over the beasts (desires, lusts) and over fear, the flaming sword of the burning emotions that keep us from reentering the Garden within or from inner communion and fellowship with HaShem through the Living Ark (Christ) in us.

Those who win victory over the beasts, lusts and fear (Revelation 4:6-11) through stillness and peace (Isaiah 30:15) or the sea of glass (2Kings 16:17; Revelation 4:6; Revelation 15:2) stand on their faith in Christ to overcome lusts and fear (the burning emotions) of the forbidden tree of dust. Christ puts His peace under their feet as a solid foundation of glass or the bronze sea, and the fire (burning emotions) can no longer reach them.

Eating the Word (John 6:63) and drinking His blood (John 6:53) gives us victory over all animal desires and fear. Animal desires for sex, food (and material possessions), self-preservation, and self gratification are beasts rising up within the temple, preventing our prayers from reaching HaShem, separating us from our brothers and sisters, making us enemies of the golden (royal) Law of Love (James 2:8).

Continually pray in the Spirit with quietness and great confidence (Isaiah 30:15). HaShem placed these forces of the guardian Cherubim and Seraphim (Revelation 4:8) within man to help us defeat all such desires. They sanctify the desires of believers day and night, praying without ceasing for us. But it is Christ who commands them to fight on our behalf once we turn from our sins, confessing, and trusting in the blood of the Lamb of God (Yeshua, Jesus), in the cross of Christ, even in the power of His name. He (Yeshua) accomplishes all this; our part is to believe God and let Him become Lord of our day, Lord of our night, Lord of our entering, Lord of our leaving, Lord of our Life.

There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John. The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and (although) the world was made through him, (and) the world didn’t recognize him. (Even though) He came to his own, those who were his own didn’t receive him.

But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name: who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

If you are plagued by addiction or other sins and falling away, ask a Christian you admire to pray for you (James 5:16) or with you; it is not necessary that you confess intimate details of your problem; HaShem knows everything already. Just ask one or more Christians to help you overcome your addiction(s) and sins through prayer.

It is true that as Christians, we (should) no longer sin because His seed or tree of Life (Christ) is planted in us (1John 3:9). And we should strive to be holy as He is holy. But HaShem also wants to save some who are in a worse condition (addiction or possession); HaShem has that right. Satan doesn’t want us to know that HaShem forgives the wretchedness of those (even Christians) who are still (for a time) slaves to sins, desires, addictions. Some possible steps in our journey from addiction or possession back home to the Father’s house are given below.

Get wisdom from God; how? By asking Him for it! Get faith. Faith that moves mountains (Matthew 21:21; Matthew 17:20) is like getting handed a check from HaShem; even if you haven’t yet got the cash in hand you know it is a sure thing. When you or others pray, act like you have already received what you asked for and you will receive it (Matthew 21:22; James 1:16).

Sometimes the addiction (or the demon causing physical, mental, or spiritual sickness) refuses to be cast out except by prayer and fasting (Mark 9:28-29); we are already saved but still slaves to wretched desires (Romans 7:24) and addictions, often the activity of demonic power. Satan wants us to believe we are too sinful for God to possibly love us. Don’t believe Satan. Eat the Word and drink the blood of Christ every single day; remember Him and give thanks for His body and blood whenever you eat or drink.

Don’t place your trust in your own willpower or human doctors alone; place your full faith in the blood and the righteousness of the light within you that the darkness has not (cannot) overcome. Eat from the Living tree (Christ) in the Garden HaShem placed within each one of us. Stop eating from the tree of (human, material, carnal, desires, fear) knowledge. The light shines in the darkness (within us), but the darkness could not overcome it!

  1. Sincerely repent (turn from) your sins; celebrate your new found Life (and publicly declare your new relationship with God) by getting baptized (Luke 9:26; Romans 6:4; Revelation 3:5); accept Yeshua (Jesus) and His sacrifice at the cross for your salvation. Believe that HaShem raised Yeshua from the dead on the third day.
  2. Out of Satan’s reach now! Don’t let Satan worry or taunt you. We have already crossed over from death into Life (John 5:24) when we accept Christ Yeshua (Jesus). Yeshua saves (Matthew 17:14-21).
  3. The former excitement of lawbreaking and defiance fades. Sin’s former glamour turns to bitterness. Satan cannot use the law to inflame rebellion and desire when we know we are saved (Romans 7:12; 7:16; 7:21).
  4. We can begin to use our desire to please HaShem to propel us forward towards sanctification, to please Yeshua (Jesus), to no longer grieve the Holy Spirit now living in us. Personally I don’t eat pig meat; not because I can’t, just to draw closer to HaShem. I do other things simply to please Yeshua and the Holy Spirit. It feels good.
  5. Don’t avoid nonbelievers (your testimony about Christ may save some of them), but work and recreate with believers when you can. Ask fellow Christians to pray for and with you. Use your new spiritual muscles to also pray for those less fortunate. These spiritual muscles will grow with use and faith. Read Scripture every day. Then be still. Wait patiently for HaShem to speak in that moment of surrender and peace. It cleanses. It uplifts; it feeds the spirit.
  6. Place your trust in Him, eating the Word and drinking the Holy Spirit, Living Water, and Bread of Life continually (daily) within the body of the Word (Scripture). Look for the good (Philippians 4:8). Look up, our salvation is near. He (Jesus) is at the door (Luke 21:28)!

Paul wasn’t giving Christians license to go on sinning; Paul was preaching in dark places where the worst kinds of religious and sexual sins were acceptable; Paul was (also) testifying to the people (of today) with addictions to sexual sins, video games, drugs, alcohol and more; Paul testified by the Holy Spirit (truthfully) that the blood of Christ can save us and wash us too (Romans 8:38-38; Romans 8:31-34); because of this some people were a little confused by Paul’s gospel (2Peter 3:16). Paul was dealing with a complex situation. Trust the Light of Christ, the tree of Life within you to cast out any and all of our demons and addictions (Luke 8:27-39; Matthew 12:22).

He (Christ Yeshua, Jesus) has overcome the world (John 16:33). When you repent and He brings about your rebirth as a son or daughter of God (John 1:12-13), He places His Holy Spirit within you. Now eating from the tree of Life, shunning evil and choosing the good, you overcome the world, because He lives in you (1John 4:4)!

Addictions were not made by the Word because everything God made was good. We already know that. Satan continues to accuse even saved addicts and damage their feeling of salvation and closeness to the Lord by hurting their conscience. Satan wants us to believe that the arm of the Lord is too short or unwilling to save us; but the fact that HaShem sent His only son to die for us while we were still the worst kind of sinners (Romans 5:10) should confirm that HaShem is willing to patiently bring us to a full and complete healing from our addictions and sins (John 8:34-36). God is not fooled or mocked. We need to sincerely repent and turn from our sins, accepting Yeshua (Jesus) as Lord. We can’t do it; but through our complete faith in Him, Yeshua (Jesus) is able to fully restore us (Mark 10:27).

The puppy that has wrapped himself around a tree 10 times may be confused when his Master brings him around and around in what appears to be circles to get him untangled. Overcoming the thorn in the flesh of addiction requires special patience on our part and on HaShem’s part. It is a difficult road back to the light from addictions, but we trust in His Spirit, not in human will (power) or might. Be persistent and trust Him. He walks with us the whole way home. Sometimes when we stumble He picks us up and carries us.

Christ dined with prostitutes and tax collectors. Christ Yeshua demonstrated His authority over every kind of illness and addiction; eat from the Living Tree (Christ) within you. He has overcome Satan, the world

Do not judge yourself or others. Forgive. Show mercy. Let Yeshua (Jesus) be your righteousness. You are the Garden of God. HaShem placed this Garden within you to keep and to tend (Genesis 2:15). There are two trees within that you may choose to eat from; one brings Life eternal and the other sin (knowledge) leading to death.

The Word became flesh, and lived (made His tabernacle) among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Find your way to the Father (the light) within you by absolute confidence in Christ Yeshua (Jesus). The light was (came) first. Genesis 1 explains (the creation of light) and Genesis 2 (the creation of clay or dust). Genesis 1:3 is greatly expanded in chapter 1 of John’s Gospel, where we find that all things that were made were made by the light (or the Word) that became flesh and made His tabernacle among us. The light (Christ or the Word) shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not overcome it.

Genesis 1: Our first Genesis was as children of the Most High (Psalm82:6) in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26-27). HaShem (G_d) created the heavens and the earth in seven days (of 1000 years each; Adam died in the same day he ate from the forbidden tree). The first creation was in the image and likeness of HaShem (Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 82:6; John 10:34) or the Living Tree. Since HaShem called everything He made good, (Genesis 1:31) where do sin, disease, errors, lack and limitation (evil) come from? The answer comes in chapter 3 where we meet the former ‘prince of this world’ whose head was bruised at the cross of Christ, his power and authority greatly curtailed. Satan also enticed a third of the angels to fall (Revelation 12:4).

Genesis 2: The second Genesis of dust covers (obscures?) the first, this is the tree that brings the knowledge of good and evil or the tree of material consciousness or the “Adam dream” that Christ Yeshua (Jesus) testified would become more and more aggressive, violent, selfish, materialistic as we ate from it and as human history headed toward the End (Luke 23:31).

Of course, Yeshua (Jesus) was hung on a tree for our sake and our salvation. All except One (Yeshua) born in the Adam dream are sinners, myself (Michael) included; by faith in Yeshua I am again returning to the image and likeness of HaShem (John 1:12-13). Praise Yeshua (Jesus)!

Gen 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
You are the temple of the Living God; you are also the Garden; God gave us this garden to keep and to tend; within you (Luke 17:21).  Is your mind carnal, or is the mind that was in Christ Yeshua also in you (Philippians 2:5)? Do you eat His body (Word) and drink His blood (Holy Spirit; Living Water; Bread of Life) hidden within the flesh of the Word (John 6:53)? What kind of tree or seed is planted in your life? Our concept of the universe begins as a small seed (Mark 4:31), but it sprouts, roots itself firmly in place, and, branches out; we live in the shelter of the tree or worldview we choose.

HaShem’s Garden, with the two trees, two dimensions or worldviews is within us. Which tree (dust or Christ) will we eat from? One brings death; the other brings Life eternal. The spiritual Exodus, within.

Peace in Yeshua (Jesus),

Michael

Who Are the Two Witnesses of Revelation?

June 15th, 2009 mfrederick No comments

There has been a great deal of speculation concerning the identity of the two witnesses that testify about the glory of HaShem and His Son, Christ Yeshua (Jesus) during the tribulation period. Who are these special witnesses, and how will we recognize them? When will they appear?

When? Well the END times began when Satan exhausted his spiritual power (1946) attempting to scatter the power of the Holy People (the Jews) (Daniel 12:7). The END times began in the next year (1947). And in 1948, the fig tree, Israel, put forth new tender shoots or leaves (Mark 13:28-30). The witnesses begin their testimony as the generation alive when the fig tree put forth tender leaves begins to die out or during the last week of the seventy (Daniel 9:27) or the Great Tribulation.

Rev 11:1 A reed like a rod was given to me. Someone said, “Rise, and measure God’s temple, and the altar, and those who worship in it.

Rev 11:2 Leave out the court which is outside of the temple, and don’t measure it, for it has been given to the nations. They will tread the holy city under foot for forty-two months.

When you see plans underway to rebuild the Temple on its former site on the Holy Mount in Jerusalem, the sun and the moon will become witnesses to the glory of God, when for 3 ½ years they perform a number of unusual functions. This is the great and terrible DAY of the LORD!

Rev 11:3 I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

Rev 11:4 These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands, standing before the Lord of the earth.

Isa 13:9 Behold, the day of Yahweh comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of it.

Isa 13:10 For the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.

Revelation 11:3 and Isaiah 13:10 are saying the same thing; the sun and moon are the two lamp stands, the two olive trees that produce the illuminating oil, they are the dual anointed ones who stand before the Lord of the Earth.

We learn more about these two witnesses in the Book of Zechariah. They are light givers with a relationship to the seven lamps in the temple of HaShem. Another way of saying who they are, is to say they are the two olive trees that produce the illuminating oil (the oil that lights the lamps) and they are the two lamp stands.

Zec 4:1 The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.

Zec 4:2 He said to me, “What do you see?”

I said, “I have seen, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps, which are on the top of it;

Zec 4:3 and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it.”

Zec 4:4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”

Zec 4:5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?”

I said, “No, my lord.”

Zec 4:6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is the word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel, saying, ‘Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Yahweh of Armies.

What does this cryptic clue mean? “Not by might or by power, but by My Spirit,” says Yahweh of Armies (Lord of Hosts). It means that even the powerful planetary bodies are servants of HaShem and they will obey His commands (Joshua 10:12-14; Habakkuk 3:11).

Zec 4:11 Then I asked him, “What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?”

Zec 4:12 I asked him the second time, “What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?”

Zec 4:13 He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?”

I said, “No, my lord.”

Zec 4:14 Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord[1] of the whole earth.”

Literally, these are the couple or duality of the sun and moon, or the male to rule the day, female to rule the night; these two witnesses arise by the authority of or because of the Lord of the earth (Jeremiah 31:35; Psalm 147:4; Genesis 37:9; Job 9:7; Psalm 8:3; Psalm 148:3. Even the sun, moon, and stars are simply witnesses or servants of the glory of the Creator!

Rev 11:5 If anyone desires to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. If anyone desires to harm them, he must be killed in this way.

Rev 11:6 These have the power to shut up the sky, that it may not rain during the days of their prophecy. They have power over the waters, to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague, as often as they desire.

Rev 11:7 When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

The Lord, Christ Yeshua (Jesus), the Lamb of God who was slain (spiritually) from the foundation of the world, was also crucified in Sodom and Egypt (because of their great sin).

Rev 11:8 Their dead bodies will be in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.

Rev 11:9 From among the peoples, tribes, languages, and nations people will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not allow their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb.

Rev 11:10 Those who dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and they will be glad. They will give gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

After 3 ½ days (of one year each) they sun and moon return to life and their former brightness.

Rev 11:11 After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.

Rev 11:12 I heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here!” They went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies saw them.

What are your thoughts?

A Time, Times, and Half a Time (fulfilled)

June 15th, 2009 mfrederick No comments

Posted by Michael in Unsealing the Book of Daniel on May 24th, 2009

The End Times began in 1947. And if you search your eSword (probably King James) or other electronic Bible for “fig tree”, you will see that HaShem lamented that His “fig tree” was off chasing Baal Peor on the mountain shrines. In other words, the nation Israel is the fig tree (Hosea 9:10). Jesus cursed Israel (the fig tree) because when Messiah came, He found no spiritual fruit (Matthew 21:19) on HaShem’s fig tree; Yeshua could have produced fruit miraculously if He simply desired food.

So now the meaning of the End Times statement that when you see the fig tree put forth tender shoots, spring is near, even so I AM (is) at the door (Matthew 24:27-34) becomes clear! The fig tree is the new nation of Israel that emerged  (with its tender shoots) in 1948.

According to Yeshua’s promise, some of the generation alive in 1948 when the tender shoots of the reborn nation of Israel went forth must still be alive to see the fulfillment of End Times prophesy. Many of the people who were in their twenties when Israel became a nation again would now be in their 80s, so you see, we do know something about WHEN. The time is short.

Free will is like the gas pedal on our car, if we sin very much its like hitting the gas; if we collectively choose righteousness (like hitting the brakes), then HaShem reconsiders (postpones) the evil He planned to bring (Jonah 4:2). Yeshua knew all the signs and events; the ONLY thing He DIDN’T know, that we CAN is the when. We can know when the End Times began because the historical markers and events given in prophesy have happened; they are part of our recorded history.

The message of HaShem (G_d or “The Name”) through angel Gabriel to Daniel the Prophet referred to a time, times, and one-half a time (Daniel 12:7-11). The knowledge in Daniel is sealed until the time of the END, when Michael stands to speak for the people of Israel (happening at this moment). Daniel didn’t know how to count a time. Daniel was dragged into Babylon and received his first visions in the year 604 BC; we would now call it that, because Yeshua was born and we measure time differently. Daniel might have said a certain year was the 2nd year of King Nebuchadnezzar’s or such and such year of Darius. Daniel didn’t know how to measure a ‘time’. A time in the Book of Daniel  is 604 (years).

No dates for the End Times were given, and in fact, even our Lord, Christ Yeshua (Jesus), said that He did not know the exact day, nor the angels, but only our Father in Heaven knew (Mark 13:32). Although no dates were given, we are given two historical events, both in Daniel’s future, one of them still yet future when our sweet Lord walked this earth; we have no dates for the completion of the time, times, and one half time, but we get two events, the abomination of desolation (168 B.C.) and the period when Satan finally exhausts his spiritual rage and power attempting to crush and or scatter the Holy People (the Jews). The second marker is the Holocaust (1946).

Adding one 604 (time) + 1208 (times) and one -half time (302) would give us the year 2114 (assuming we were supposed to count from year 0); but we are supposed to count from the first marker (the abomination of desolation in 168 BC. So we must begin counting at 168 BC and add 2114 years. This is the year that marks the end of Satan’s scattering of the Holy People (the Jews), and it is the year the Holocaust ended (1946). Not only did Satan’s fury lose its force, but Israel rebounded to be gathered (not scattered) in their G_d given homeland (Israel).

Michael loves Israel. I love the Jews. I love those who trust their future to Christ Yeshua (Jesus). I am (joyfully) the servant of Christ Yeshua.

The End Times began in the year 1947. Look only to Christ Yeshua.

Peace in Yeshua,

Michael

Children of the Light; Becoming Sons and Daughters of HaShem

June 15th, 2009 mfrederick No comments

Posted by Michael in Children of the Light on May 22nd, 2009

Today I picked up our daughter from school with a fever of 101. She was red cheeked and uncharacteristically lethargic. I held her when she complained first of being hot, then cold.  I couldn’t make the fever go away but I wanted her to know, that whatever she was going through, at least I was with her. I cared.

As I soothed her by playing in her long hair, I felt the longing to SAVE her, not only from sickness and human frailties, human cruelty or suffering, but to introduce her to Christ Yeshua, her Savior. She has seen me pray to Yeshua, read the Bible each day. Even more amazing, she met Yeshua when He visited our home in answer to my prayers that He bring me greater understanding of His word (especially the book of Daniel) so I might help warn His children and prepare them to face the time of Great (or Jacob’s) trouble.

We are all so busy. Who makes time to listen to G_d? How many of you invite Him to guide your thoughts and actions each day? How many of you seek His will for your life in stillness before Him?

Yet each person must be drawn from within by the Father to be saved.  Each person must make the conscious personal decision to invite Christ to become Lord of their heart, Lord of their mind, Lord of their body, Lord of their ALL.

Holding my daughter as the fever weakened her, I felt this deep desire to know that she was saved.  I want to know that all of my children are saved; I want to be certain they have been buried with Yeshua through baptism, raised with Him from the dead; hidden with Him in heaven. I want to know my family is saved.

I would rejoice if every person everywhere were saved. So would the Father. But the Father cannot allow us to reach for the fruit of the tree of Life and live forever, if we also deny Christ, if we also choose to follow and walk in the darkness.

As Michael, I can drive out Satan and bind his demons, but even an archangel cannot save you.  You need to believe in and accept Christ Yeshua (Jesus); you need to confess your sins and ask Yeshua to change you, tranform you from the inside, into a child of light. There is only one name under heaven, faith in which brings eternal Life. That name is Christ Yeshua or Christ Jesus.

I suppose the first lesson I learn from Scripture and the panoramic patience involved in HaShem’s (G_d’s) plan for salvation is that Love is deeper than time, space, sin, deeper and stronger than despair, darkness, illness, greater than death. G_d is Love.

One unique quality of an archangel, even while dwelling in a physical temple, is the capacity to feel what the Father feels. The Father hurts for us, grieves over us. The Father wants us to choose Life. But He will not force us.

The Father of Lights wants to save us from death, self-destruction, from sin. He Himself came down from heaven to provide the Way home. All we have to do is believe in Messiah, Christ Yeshua, and we are ALREADY saved!

I know all too well that the entire world is about to spin hopelessly out of balance, as the Roadmap or ‘peace and safety (or security)’ agreements are confirmed by Tsar Antichrist Putin and the Quartet.  HaShem says that the abomination that makes desolate was set up on a wing of His temple, Israel (in Gaza).

The land HaShem promised to Jacob’s descendents forever cannot be settled by Essau. HaShem will strike at the ‘Roadmap’. The seven-year agreement confirming the covenant or pact with sheol (with the Jews or the Many) will be broken half way through, unleashing the great Tribulation.

It pains me that I cannot protect you (any of you,  all of you) from what is about to happen. YOU must awaken. It is your choice to continue asleep in the Adam dream of sin and suffering or be awakened to the Light. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

It is very difficult to realize that I cannot even save the people closest to me, in spite of all the power HaShem entrusts to me. My faith can only save me. You must believe in Yeshua, in Jesus. You alone can save yourself.

How many times would Christ have gathered us up as little chicks to proctect us, but we would not come to Him? I want my wife, our sons, and our daughter to be safe, but there is no safety apart from the faith in Christ Yeshua that brings eternal Life. The material world is full of tribulation and suffering, always ending in death; this material realm was dominated by the prince of this world for so many centuries. At the cross the Lamb of God bruised the serpent’s head.

Only in Yeshua is Life; only in Jesus is safety. Learn from Job; we cannot protect the body, our families or our possessions. In this world we have suffering and tribulation. But take heart! Christ Yeshua has overcome the world. Trust Yeshua.

Who better to place your faith in, to rest your hope in eternal Life upon? He never told a single untruth. He never commited a single sinful or selfish act against another person. Trust Yeshua. Give up your own flawed concept of life, turn from sin and find rest in Christ. Then take up your cross (crucify the deeds of the carnal man or woman) and follow Yeshua.

Are you a child of the Light by virtue of believing and following in the Life and footsteps of Christ Yeshua? What will you answer the Father? He is still holding out His arms in the hope that we come to Him through Christ Yeshua.  The Father cannot call to us forever. The door to the wedding feast will soon close. Outside there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Please don’t disappoint Him.

Peace in Yeshua,

Michael

Michael and the End Times

June 15th, 2009 mfrederick No comments

Posted by Michael in Michael and the END Times on May 18th, 2009

Welcome to the End Times. No really; you and I are living ath the time of the END.

I AM Michael. I have been sent by Christ Yeshua (Jesus) to speak for the people of Israel at the time of the END (Daniel 12:1). Why should anyone be surprised, as HaShem promised through the prophet Daniel that He would send me?  We all know that the Father cannot lie. The END Times began in the year 1947, when Satan wore out his spiritual power attempting to finish crushing or scattering the power of the Holy People during the Holocaust of the Jewish people (Daniel 12:7).

Humankind is lost and on the brink of self-annihilation. But it hardly knows it (1Thessalonians 5:2).  HaShem is Lord; the Bible is true, all of it. For some time our world has been hiding behind the false gods of science and culture (or literature), Baal and Nebu.  Satan, with other fallen principalties, powers, and demons have controlled our minds and our reality in ways we could barely imagine, as the prince of this world (Ephesians 6:12).

Christians should not doubt their existence or underestimate their power to decieve. Satan was defeated at the cross of Christ; this will eventually become obvious in the Great and terrible Day of the Lord. Although they know their defeat is certain (and time is short), they wish to take as many of you naive (and worldly) sophisticates (the wicked) down to the pit with them as possible (Revelation 12:9-12).

We falsely believe science can save us.  We believe that our culture and our products of art, music, and writing prove that we have advanced, become civilized. We continue to eat from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil,  knowing the consequence is death (Genesis 2:17).

HaShem doesn’t judge from appearances; G_d searches the inner man and woman.  The Father, who knows all things, knows that we will destroy ourselves and our planet if left to our own devices. HaShem gave us the Old Testament (Law) as a yardstick to measure the depth of our own fallen state and OT prophecies about Messiah so we would know our Savior (our Rescuer) when His light became flesh and lived among us (John 1:14). Christ Yeshua (Jesus) is Messiah, the Son of God, the Son of David, the I AM, Yahweh, is the Savior of the world.

Learn about Christ Yeshua (Jesus).  There is no other relationship to any other living being more critical to your Life and relationship with HaShem than the one you have with Yeshua. Become a little child; trust Yeshua (Mark 10:15).

The Peace and Security (or safety) agreements called the Roadmap for Peace signify just how near the END we are (1Thessalonians 5:3). You can download the eBook Roadmap For Peace the END  from www.WalksInTheLight.com at no cost.

Israel, how do you interpret current events in the Middle East with regard to prophesy and especially the books of Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Zechariah?

How do Christian readers familiar with Bible Prophesy see events unfolding? What do you see as signifincant?
