"These Lying Times"... 2a..Jew, Gentile & God- Part 2

"These Lying Times"...Searching for Truth...

Subtitle: Jew, the Nation, the People & the Gentile & God... Part 2

by Carl G Loy

When one considers the history of the Jewish nation of Israel of the Old Testament, we see
many the examples of God's forebearance and patience. They were a complaining people never satisfied with their life under God, and even went so far as to practice idolatry. When they disregarded the sovereignty of God, and yearned for a king, God complied. Later in Hosea 13:11, God said that He gave them a king in anger, and took him away in wrath. A monarchy for Israel was not to His Pleasure. But today we are led to believe that God wanted to restore this monarchy and reconstitute the nation that he destroyed.

We find that the nation of Israel was an arrogant nation. As a people commissioned to spread the knowledge of God to other nations, they failed miserably. In fact, they thought they were special to God and that they alone were to be saved by God. The Scripture speaks of this spiritual blindness. The Jews violated their covenants with God in disobedience and rebellion in spite of many warnings given by God thru His Prophets. They were foretold of their doom and destruction as a nation, yet they heeded not. This prophecy to a nation came to pass, but it had not passed until God had fulfilled all His Promises, including allowing them into the land of Caanan even after they had violated their covenants with Him thereby forfeiting their right to them. The physical Israel never seemed to quite understand the aspect of a spiritual Israel, and today we see the same lack of understanding that sees a restored physical nation of Israel as necessary for fulfillment of prophecy, a prophecy already fulfilled in God's Word. We too are spiritually blind.

The Holy Word speaks to us about the desolation that was the result of the Jews being ousted from their land and destroyed as a nation, a terrible penalty paid with many dead and others scattered. Up until the very end, God had offered conditions that if met, He Promised to save them from destruction, but God was ignored. When their unbelief in the Son caused His Crucifixion, the fate of the nation was sealed once and for all and forever. The only blessings the Jews can now seek are those of a spiritual Israel, a personal one, just the same as the Gentile. The relationship of God and the Israel of the Old Testament was one of a nation with God and that nation will never be restored under God, again. There is no committment for the restoration of Israel as a nation in our time.

God rejected the Jew as a nation and ejected them from their land in His Judgement and Wrath. All has been fulfilled in Prophecy as related to the physical Israel nation. God will not undo what He has wrought and it has been man who wanted to re-establish a Jewish Israel nation. Zionists (and Freemasons) and Hitler (and the Vatican) worked together to provide impetus for the making of a Jewish state, but at the behest and financing of the Rothschilds. Most likely the Jesuits were in the fore, but behind the scenes, influencing all those involved. This interconnected assortment of cabalists were greatly assisted by those Christians who had been taught, or were being persuaded, that prophecy related to the Jewish nation was futuristic and it was necessary for the Jew to return to 'their' land and become a nation once again. No doubt this teaching was the work of the Jesuits who had infiltrated seminaries and protestant denominations.

Paul was sorrowful and perplexed that the Jew, his own people, could not understand that they were not blessed because they were descendants of Abraham, but that the blessings available to them were of a spiritual nature. The Jews demanded that God show His Promises in materialistic ways. Paul came to be considered an enemy to his own people because he continued to point out that their seed from Abraham was a spiritual seed and not a seed of the flesh. The Jews believed that they were due God's Promises by inheritance, that it was material, and they saw Paul as a traitor. Today, Jews and Gentiles alike have ignored Paul's teachings in this regards. In all the writings of Paul and in his sorrow for the doom foretold for the Jews, he never offered any consolation as one might expect if their nation would once again be restored under God's Blessing. Paul did foretell an awakening of some Jews who would become believers because of the Gentiles who believed. The rejection of the Jew was as a nation, not as individuals, and God's Promise is one and same for all.
Just as God rejects the Jew who rejects Him, so does He reject the Gentile who does not believe. Man's erection of a new Israel nation is not a spiritual exercise ordained by God, but rather, a political one, instigated by Satan. It is Lucifer's plan, a religious-economical-political-military plan, and it is the plan to bring forth a total worldwide antichrist system ruled by the Vatican.

Whereas the Jews as a nation and as a people failed to be that Light unto the world, God is using Gentiles to be an example for the Jews. We are told that many Jews will eventually come to true belief because of God's use of the Gentile. When that will be fulfilled remains to be seen and we are not priviledged to know the timing of the fullness of that prophecy. We are told to watch the signs, but many are watching signs that deceive.

When we take a preconceived idea of an outcome and read Scripture with that conclusion already in mind, it provides us a distorted way of interpreting Scripture. We study to confirm a predefined outcome, rather than studying to arrive at an outcome. My own spiritual blinders were thick with predefined outcomes. Unless we can shed these preconceived notions of how things are to be, we can not study in a way to see Truth. It can take years to remove false teachings and approach the Bible in an unbiased study. From personal experience, I can tell you that it is like a new Light has dawned, when you reach this point. The entire world, as well as daily living, takes on a new and wonderful meaning. A burden is lifted and a fullness is felt when knowledge is replaced with Truth that has understanding. I should add that it also makes one yearn even more for a better understanding of God's Word, and it is a never ending quest. The thrill experienced in recognizing one's own deceit, shedding that spiritual blindness, and discerning Truth, is unequaled. It requires putting aside all that man has taught and seeking His Truth for one's self.

The Old Testament traces a lineage of a people chosen by God to become a nation under His Will and Use. It presents the commands and requirements of God that were particular to that nation and from which we are all expected to see lessons in obedience and service.
However, many today are still trying to apply ceremony, sacrifices, rituals, and observances that God required of the nation Israel, but never ever required of the Gentile, nor requires of spiritual Israel that is His Kingdom of today. Many are those who want to relive the Old Testament and make anew the Old Covenants that were for old Israel and old Israel alone.
These were the requirements for a nation and for the individuals that made up that nation and they are not His Requirements under the New Covenant of a spiritual Israel of the New Testament. In fact, there are those who would use the Laws given to Israel to make difficult
the spreading of the Gospel to Jew and Gentile alike.

The atheistic nation of Israel that man has born either denies God, or embraces the false religion of Judaism. Most of its' inhabitants are more likely of Arabic descent and there is no finding of any lineage dating to the Hebrews. It is a fake nation made up of fake identities, used by evil forces to deceive even the very elect. The greatest obstactle for world domination facing the Jesuit Papacy are the Muslims and Islam. This Israel they have formed is but a tool to be used to overcome that oposing force in their quest to rule the world. They have learned how to both neutralize the Christian they cannot deceive and how to deceive and entice the Christian into that endeavor. By distorting Scripture and making prophecy already fulfilled, seem futuristic, they have largely succeeded. Even before the days of the Knights Templar with their enormous wealth, the works of darkness thrived. Since then, their use of multiple secret societies to control governments, instigate revolutions and wars, manipulate banking practices, and appeal to man's weakest nature in various ways, has advanced their goal of one world rule. Today, man made physical Israel is an affront to God and His Sovereignty. It denies the spiritual Israel of the New Testament. It is Satan's deceit.

One only has to study the preaching that Paul presented to the Jews to understand that
God's Promise to them was a spiritual one. We see that God destroyed their temple, abolished their priesthood, scattered them over the earth, and offered that they should be "grafted in" (with other believers), if they shed their unbelief. This was given to the individual, not to a nation. Never did Paul address what are today many common beliefs. Did he overlook a rebuilding of the temple? a restoration of a Jewish nation? the re-establishment of animal sacrifice? a Kingdom on earth? a re-built Jerusalem? Actually, Paul speaks of a Kingdom that is spiritual and a blessing derived from the Holy Spirit only by belief of the heart. Never does he address a political material Israel to come. Paul knew that material Israel was vanquished forever. Her Promises were already fulfilled; her temple already restored; her promised land, conditional on obedience to God, forfeited; a new Jerusalem was to be a heavenly one. The nation of Israel today is not the restored Israel of yesterday. If God restored a physical Israel, it would mean that the New Testament beomes subverted by the Old Testament. The God of the Old Testament required acts of obedience to live. The New Testament requires belief to live. Will God return to a "works" salvation as many still practice? That would deny justification by Faith and the sacrifice of the Son. God is not going to change the Way to Him that is presented in the New Testament. That is a Promise for eternity for all, Jew and Gentile alike. It is one of liberty and voluntary obedience. It is a spiritual Israel, something little understood by most Old Testament Jews and understood by few today. A nation invented by man calling upon all who want to claim to be Jew to return to a homeland, a land taken by force from her inhabitants, a nation without God's blessing and dissolved by God, is surely blasphemous to Him. Evil people plotted and planned the formation of a Jewish state, using the ungodly United Nations to do so. Certainly God has allowed Lucifer his own way over this earth, just as He Has Written.
