Israel ?

 Ever since Hamas attacked Israel on the Last Great Day of the Feast of Tabernacles, 7th October 2023, we have seen a cabal of deceived religionists preaching as thought they understand the prophecies of the bible, when they don't. We have had speculations, conjectures, surmises and assumptions from a host of deceived charlatans

However, the Apostle Peter was inspired to write: "We have also a more sure word of prophecy;"  He described it, "As a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn...(1 Pet.2:19). That day is the day of the Lord. Then he added: "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of any private interpretation..." Then he gave the reasons why. 

Yet, we have a sick cabal of men, without the Holy Spirit, calling themselves ministers of Christ, setting out to privately interpret the conflict in the Middle East, with Israel at the core of many attacks.

The Allegory

To understand the cause of the conflict and how it will end, one has to first understand the allegory of (Gal.4:22-31). Sadly, this allegory was not understood in WCG.  In fact, in my 22 years attending services with WCG, it was never even mentioned as a curiosity. The men that were ordained as ministers did not have the holy spirit, and without the holy spirit one cannot understand the mysteries of the bible. For Jesus told his disciples, "I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit, when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth:(John 16:12-13). The phrase, "you cannot bear them" means, you cannot understand the things I have to say to you until you have received the gift of the Holy Spirit. On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came on the disciples in a blaze of glory, and they were able to understand what the spirit revealed to them. If the same had happened to the ministers in WCG, they would have also been able to understand, and explain the mysteries of the bible, including the allegory of Galatians four. Their ignorance of the bible is clear evidence that they don't have the spirit of God. And that is terrifying!

Israel

The Israel of today is a remnant of the people that returned from the Babylonian captivity, to rebuild the temple. The population that returned, mainly consisted of Levites, the priestly tribe, the children of Benjamin and some Jews, who were not descendants of King David.

The last king of Israel, Zedekiah, was taken to Babylon and put to death. But before he was put to death, his sons were murdered before his eyes. The only members of his family that survived, were his daughters, princes. They were taken into Egypt by Jerimiah.

So when the people returned from Babylon, there was no one to revive the kingdom of Judah. The country was managed by the Levites and governors. Later the Romans appointed kings and governors. we note that when Jesus was born, Herod was king, and when he was crucified Pontius Pilate was governor.

The other ten tribes, that were separated from the Kingdom Judah, after the death of Solomon, were taken captive in 721BC by the Assyrian King, Shalmaneser. These, to this day, are called the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Although, some of them have been identified. Britain is Ephraim and America is Manassas.

The bond woman

According to the allegory, the Israel that existed at the time of Jesus, consisted of the children of the bond woman, who were born according to the flesh, and to whom the first covenant, from mount Saini, was  given by Moses. That covenant established the Levitical Priesthood, that ministered in the sanctuary, for the forgiveness of physical sins. Under the first covenant, there were no sacrifices for spiritual sins. The lost sheep of the house of Israel are also children of the bond woman. For they were born according to the flesh.

Sarah told Abraham, "Cast out the bond woman and her son, for the son of bond woman shall be heir with the son of the freewoman." Ask yourself, what does that mean for the Israel of today? It means the children of the bond woman will perish. That means, Britain, America and Israel will be destroyed, before Jesus returns. He is due to return by 2054, but all the signs are, he will be here by 2050.

Paul's sorrow

Paul was aware that Israel, according to the flesh will perish. So he wrote the following lament: "I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit. That I have great heaviness, and continual sorrow in my heart. for I could wish (Had it been possible) that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh. Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises"(Rom.9:1-4)

In verse six Paul says, "For they are not all Israel: Neither because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children; but in Isaac shall thy seed be called"(Rom.9:6-7).

This mystery is sublime, recondite and extremely deep.

Jesus's betrayal  

And second, the consequences of the betrayal of Jesus by Caiaphas, the high priest. Plus, the frightful curse all the people called down upon themselves, by saying, "His blood be on us, and on our children"(Matt.27:25).;
