| Back To Top | An Adultery: Should we tell our mate?
A reader writes:
Answer: Hello. Sorry to take so long in answering, I just got back from a Bible conference in Branson, MO. And yours is the first E-mail that I am addressing. So, how was your day? :o) I really shouldn't make light, but I'm just breaking the tension here. Okay, the problem is, is that she is pregnant, possibly with your child, and she just patched-up her marriage with her husband which suffered a blow because she committed adultery with you and decided to share that info with her husband. Quite a mess, indeed. I presume that you are also married and with family? As you stated in your above: "...More than losing my own family (which will probably happen)". You needn't that I tell you that you had a huge lapse in judgment, for you are already painfully aware of that. And it is difficult to give advice, as I don't know all the facts or "both sides of the story." But I see several issues here:
Does that about sum it up? Now, I will begin with an admonition that you probably wouldn't expect me to make. That is to keep silent about this with your family. And had that adulterous friend of yours kept silent this would not have blown-up like it has. Had she not confessed to her husband, and had the child been his (as it might well be) then life would have gone on for him and the child as normal. And if it was your child (which it may be) then nobody would have known any better. She wouldn't know for sure, and her husband would have never given it a second thought. Unless, of course, you guys are doing a multi-racial thing. In other words, siblings often look different. Makes you wonder, huh? Anyway.... I sense in your letter that you are contemplating confessing this affair to your wife. If you do that you will not be being a "good guy coming clean," you will be being a weak man seeking to save yourself from your own conscience at the cost of destroying your wife's peace of mind. She will never trust you again—it will devastate her to a degree that you can never make it normal or right again. Sure, she may forgive you, she probably will, women are better at that than men are—but she will NEVER forget it. It's just that she will bear the pain for your selfish forbidden pleasures. You did the sin, deal with God about it, and don't burden your wife with something that she cannot control or make right. Eat it up and suffer alone. Telling her will do nothing good for her. May I repeat for emphasis? Telling her will not do her any good, it will only do her hurt. Everybody says that "they want to know," but they really don't. They just want to know that it didn't happen, not that it did. So don't you ever tell her—take it to your grave. Telling her makes one wrong piled on top of another, and the wrong people always suffer the most. Your adulterous friend has no doubt found that out in her own case. She should have shut up about it. Now look at the salt in the wounds! Her husband should not have to deal with this. And if I were him I would have dropped her off at your front door and divorced her before week's end. An adulterous woman is no good thing. Doing it once she is always suspect of doing it again. And something for you to think about is that when this is all said and done, and you guys destroy two families and God knows how many children, and you marry each other—you will someday wonder if she will get "itchy feet" again, this time with you; and go off and cheat on you with some other man. When a woman cheats on her husband it as like when a man cheats on his God. That is why adultery is so often likened to idolatry in the Bible. Adultery is when humans cheat on humans, idolatry is when humans cheat on God. Now perhaps one can understand why God made Adultery a Capital Offence (execution) as He made Idolatry a Capital Offence. I, as do most men, have little patience for cheating women; and yes, I place more blame on her than I would on you. This is because in the Bible the woman is held to a higher level of accountability than the man is in matters sexual. That is just a simple fact easily documented in the Bible. But yes, you too have sinned a sin worthy of death, as adultery is one of the Capital Offenses in the Bible. Which I observe that are cognizant of. Good thing that God sent us Jesus, huh? Obviously, in giving the requested advice in this matter, I would tell you both to stop it and never do it again. That much is so obvious that I haven't hitherto mentioned it. But I do mention here it in passing so as to give a complete answer. I would hope that it is painfully obvious that any and all adultery must stop this instant. Both of you! If you aren't willing to stop, then why waste God's time seeking forgiveness for a sin that you full-well plan to repeat? If that indeed be the case. I know that this isn't the case in your heart. Repentance isn't just a forgiving of a sin, it also includes, as an element, the change of heart to try to not do it again. Certainly us Christians do not suppose that repentance and forgiveness just "cleans the slate" and is a tool to "sin legally." Do we sometimes repeat a sin that we were forgiven of? Yes, we are weak; but God knows who's trying to change and He knows who's trying to "use the system to beat the system." God has tender mercy for the weak who sin oft but do try to get better. He knows our hearts. He is Judge. But Christ Jesus is Mediator. Jesus is our advocate, it is He that brings us near to God. But not without admonition:
You ask so many technical questions about divorce and adultery and remarriage and.... You have no need of those answers; no, not at this time. What you do need now is to know that the sincere repentance of a Christian, to God, in Jesus' name, with all good intents, will wash away every sin from this world, save for the unforgivable sin which does not apply here. You obviously believe upon Jesus Christ, you obviously have repented with many tears, and you believe the Scriptures and that within them you have life; so, do as Jesus commanded in the Scriptures that the adulteress do:
Through faith in Jesus Christ you are free of that sin and anything associated with it (as far as God is concerned). By Christ there no longer was any adultery—for you have repented of it. That is why you needn't confess to your wife—the sin is blotted out, and why speak of that which longer exists? And, if you have the opportunity, then let the husband think that the child is his, and never see that woman again. Ever. And as for your dreams of making this woman your wife and living happily ever after? Get over it, she is not for you and you were not for her, never were—you were each other's temptation, in the which you both failed miserably, as you know. And your passion shall diminish with time, it is the bad fruit of a bad tree. Move forward, not looking back. Will I upset some "church folks" with this answer? Undoubtedly; but I believe that I have the Lord in the answer, else I wouldn't write it. And I do know the price of speaking presumptuously of the Lord and His ways. I understand the responsibility. Pray on it. That would be my first great answer to any question asked of me here. But I know that people want to have things broken down for them, they want help to be sure that they are discerning properly, and they want second opinions. And that is fine; God wants that we help each other, else He wouldn't have built a church on His own Passion. Now, where there is a church there is necessarily a interaction between people to people regarding God and Christ. That is what you and I are doing here today. Christian helping Christian is as natural to God as mother nursing baby. He wants us to help each other—He wants us to care. He doesn't need any of us, but He likes to utilize us all. And so often when He helps man He uses man to effect that help. Think about it. But you need not keep repenting of it—that was done the very first time you asked. And why ask again and again for that which you have already received? To keep asking is a form of doubting that you have indeed received. I know you are not worthy of the forgiveness, neither am I or any Christian, but it isn't our worthiness that God addresses, it is Jesus' worthiness. And He is WORTHY! And no, God will not punish you any further for it—Jesus already paid a dear and high price for your adultery, as He has for all of our's sins—yours, mine, and every Christian believer's. There is nothing more that God could do to you that would equal the price already paid on that Cross of Christ. And to extract more from you would be an insult to Christ. And God is not capable of any such thing. God forbid! Casting you into Hell pales in comparison to drawing Jesus' innocent and holy blood. But woe to the person who deceitfully seeks to abuse this privilege of the remission of sin! For they then do disrespect the Lord of Life. And there isn't a quicker way to get God to drop the hammer on you than to willfully abuse Jesus Christ or His holy memory. Will the world give you trouble over this (baby, divorce, child support payments, etc.)? Perhaps, but it isn't God punishing you, it is merely the consequences of your own actions. Many a thief is forgiven of God, yet serving time in State Prisons. Don't always attribute to God all the natural consequences incurred in a civilized society with laws and remedies. Peace to you in Christ Jesus. In closing, if I may:

A reader writes:
Answer: Hello; The Serpent (satan) is Cain's father, and yes he did have sexual intercourse with Eve. But you won't learn that in most of today's watered-down, compromised, and corrupted churches of today. They will teach you of apple-munching and other such nonsensical silliness. We have an in-depth Bible study on the matter, it is at: What was the Real sin in the Garden of Eden?

| Back To Top | A question about Biblical Archaeologist and author of many books, E. Raymond Capt. Also; Identity teaching, and newer students beware...
A reader writes:
Hello [Xxxx]; welcome aboard. As regarding E. Raymond Capt: he is an excellent Biblical Archaeologist, but not the best Bible teacher. I have most all of his books (and thanks to you I just ordered one that I didn't have). So, his value to the Christian Bible student is in his faithfulness to God and Christ in his archaeological analysis. However, his doctrines are somewhat imperfect, in my opinion. Regarding the so-called Identity teaching: "they" have muddied the term Identity into something Racist. But the truth of the matter is that Identity teaching, also referred to as British Israelism, or The Ten Lost Tribes, found doctrine is true. The impostors to true Israel (the so-called "Jews") don't like true Israel (the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic & kindred peoples) knowing that they (Anglo-Saxons...) are in fact true Israel. So, there is a lot of deceit and false "guilt-by-association" going on in this debate (all ultimately started and then later fueled by the International Judaics (usually through non-Jewish front-men; i.e., their deceived "Gentile" useful-idiot quislings) who are desperate to keep the world ignorant as to their (the Int. Judaics) true identity, as well as keeping true Israel blind to her identity. This controversy goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, and shall come to fruition in the Great Tribulation. "No new thing under the sun" (Ecc 1:9b).
The funny thing is, is that in the Jewish Encyclopedia, some the lost tribes of Israel are identified [as non-Jewish peoples]. So, why isn't it "Racist" when they themselves say it? Like I said, making a pejorative of the word Identity, and linking it to White Supremacist groups is all just a tactic to hide the truth. Do some Racists believe Identity teachings? Sure, but then some Racists also believe that rain is wet—so does that make rain dry because undesirables believe it's wet? Of course not. Even a broken clock is correct twice each day. A word for you since you said that you are a newer Bible student: be careful, there is a whole array of forces out there determined to mislead you astray. An excellent rule of thumb is that if you can't have a doctrine confirmed for you in the Holy Bible—then treat it as suspect. And not all who teach a false doctrine are bad—some of them are just teaching what they have learned but never bothered to verify for themselves. Much prayer for guidance shall insure that you are protected and led as God would have you led. Jump right in, the water's fine; and learn as much as you can, then you can assist the Lord in His work; for, as Jesus stated: "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few" (Mat 9:37b).
Peace to you in Christ Jesus. Later WBSG Note: I have since acquired Capt's new book spoken of above by the reader, Counterfeit Christianity; How Ancient Paganism MIXED with Christianity, and have found it to contain dangerous false doctrine. Chief among the errant doctrine in this book is what is called Universalism. "Universalism" is the believe that all shall be saved, even satan and the demons. Like I stated above, Capt is a great Biblical Archaeologist but he is no Bible teacher. He should not have strayed from his field of excellence. And it is sad that this new book shall taint his literary memory forever, as far as I am concerned. — Nick Goggin, WBSG. Back to list of questions at top of page

Was 911 an "inside job" (False Flag Operation)?
A (Judaic Christian) reader writes: [The reader refers to my statement here: "I find it reassuring that one-third of Americans have waken up to the fact that 911 was an inside job; and find it encouraging that a growing percentage of that one-third are beginning to see just who that 'inside' is."]
Answer: Hi [Xxxxxx]. May I answer line by line, please?
Ah, but not at the first.
You cannot possibly even have taken a cursory look at the evidence to make a statement like that. As I know that you are an intelligent un-biased man in your studies.
True, I agree. But the reason that I say that it is an "inside job" is because that is the truth of the matter. When one endeavors to dedicate fidelity to the truth, he/she shall always be cutting-edge in this corrupt world. You will one day come around to the truth regarding the 911 attacks. You just haven't gotten there yet. There is so much evidence out there that I really am surprised that you are unaware. And "inside job" is a layman's term, the more correct term would be that 911 was a False-Flag Operation. Pearl Harbor was also a form of false-flag, in that we knew about it ahead of time and let it happen. We also brought it upon ourselves by squeezing Japan's vital war-time supplies—this was the intended result, a provocation to bring America into Briton's losing WWII. The Sinking of the Lusitania was another type of false-flag (the provocation that brought America into WWI); the Germans actually took out a newspaper advertisements warning passengers not sail on the Lusitania, as they knew that it was (illegally) heavily laden with munitions for Germany's foes in WWI. Among other places, see a cursory treatment here:
As was the Beirut bombing of our American barracks a False-Flag. And the Bay of Tonkin (Viet-Nam). On and on we could go. There is a cadre of men, who generationally, control all wars. Mel Gibson was right. Oh, and don't forget the revolutions, the French, Russian, American,... All started by the same remarkable cadre of men. They even take credit for the French Revolution in their Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion, Protocol 3 ¶14.
Those who said that to you were suffering from a condition of trying to figure out the beast by assigning to it the attributes of a sound man. And by the way, if those kids ended up "disappeared" then their work would have been taken as true by many people who don't believe it now. The last thing that the International Judaics want right now is for those kids to "have an accident." And if your reasoning is sound on this matter, then why am I not dead? The truth of the matter is that when you kill a whistle blower, people then really want to know what the whistle was alerting to. It's a form of "martyr-making." And the Judaics learned a painful lesson when they made a martyr of Jesus Christ and the Apostles.
They didn't "stumble upon the truth," they made a montage video of all available (at that time) information pointing out the absurdity of the official version of the 911 attacks. They are filmmakers, not investigators, they used other's work. Which is fine, but then knowing that, you will understand why these two college kids are harmless to the conspirators—and then see the utter futility in murdering them—definitely not worth the back-lash of inadvertently promoting their work. When you are a conspirator, it is not good for your cause when everyone who exposes you starts dying off "accidentally." You have to think like the beast to understand the beast. But be careful with that, there is a inherent danger in doing so for the novice:
Nietzsche ought to know, he was one of their boys. He is even mentioned by name in their Protocols of The Learned Elders of Zion, Protocol 2 ¶3
What you are missing is that there are so very many qualified men of these disciplines that have come out and on record. The problem is that you won't read their scholarly dissertations for some reason.
Oh, the power of the pen! Could I not take your same data and present it thusly: Even Rosie O'Donnell has woken up to the truth. :o)
I know you mean well. And I take you letter in the spirit that you sent it. Do me a favor, look a deeper into this, if only for own sake. And never forget to consider the below:
Peace to you in Christ Jesus. The reader replies:
Hello again. I have no problem with agreeing to disagree with you. I have studied the matter to the point that I am confident going on the record declaring that I can see the 911 attacks as nothing other than a False Flag operation. You do not feel the same about the matter. I'm okay with that. As you know, I never expect anyone to be in lock-step agreement with me. I enjoy independent thought, especially when backed-up with research and documentation. PS: Not that I have the time for a lengthy argument on this; however, for your own research: The master key is found in Tower 7. Tower 7 was not struck by any plane. Larry Silverstein (owner of the tower complex) is on tape saying that the decision was made to "pull it," meaning demolish it. (Video provided below.) Now, it takes weeks to rig a 47 story building for implosion; yet, Tower 7 came down in what, hours after the 911 attacks? (It fell in 6.6 seconds at 5:20 p.m., on September 11, 2001, a mere eight hours after the first tower was struck; that isn't even enough time to draw-up the demolition contract, much less to rig all main supports on a 47-floor building). That answers to the destination of the missing plane that crashed in Pennsylvania. Three of the Towers in question came down in controlled demolition fashion, one of them for sure we know was "pulled," two are denied. Two planes reached their pre-arranged destination at the World Trade Center complex. There were four planes, one of the hijacked planes (so they say) hit the Pentagon, two hit the two main towers which collapsed, and one crashed in a field, desperately off-course. And we have a (supposedly) unprepared (not pre-rigged for demolition) 47 story building, which was not hit by any plane, fall in exactly the same fashion as did the two main towers which were hit by planes, and this one (Tower 7) was admittedly demolished in a controlled fashion (see video below). You connect the dots! When I connect them I come up with: Tower 7 was pre-rigged with explosives just as were Towers 1 & 2. And the plane that went off-course and crashed in a field was destined to strike Tower 7, but did not. And when it didn't, "they" had the little problem to deal with of a 47-story building fully rigged to implode. Rigging, I might add, that would be readily observable to New York City Building Inspectors and Investigators. So, under false pretences, they "pulled it" to destroy the damning evidence. Below is the video I referred to, wherein the owner of the World Trade Center complex admits that Tower 7 was professionally demolished: WTC Lease Holder, Larry Silverstein, Admits "Pulling" WTC 7

Peace to you in Christ Jesus.
Another reader writes in challenging the information: Subject: tower of babel? [The reader begins with a
quote from a PrisonPlanet.com article:] ...15) Fire Captain Brenda Berkman:
"We no sooner got going on something there when a
chief came along and said, 'Everybody's got to leave the
area. We're afraid that Seven World Trade is going to fall
down.' The whole south side of Seven World Trade had been
hit by the collapse of the second Tower, and there was fire
on every floor." (Susan Hagen and Mary Carouba, Women at
Ground Zero, 2002, p. 213) [The reader's comment on above
quote:] 110 stories on tower 2, some of which
fell on a adjacent 40 storied tower 7, wiping out the south
side with 12 floors on fire and nobody heard the sound of
demolition? Why would they need to rig tower 7 if you just drop
100 stories on it? What the heck would be the purpose? Why waste
a plane on a insignificant target?
Hello, I am assuming that you are chastising me
for believing the impossible or far-fetched? I could say that
of you. Nevertheless, I am not engaged in defending the
911 conspiracy issue, there are other websites devoted to that. And
I really don't have the time to do the subject justice. I simply
took a position on the affair and offered my reasons why I have
taken the position that 911 is not all that they told us it was.
However, since you have some false data, I will try to point you
towards the truth. What you do with that data is your own
business. I'm not trying to sway you one way of the other. First of all, Tower 1 (or T. 2) did not fall
onto Tower 7. That's a lie. There was only minimal damage to Tower
7 (See
pictures of Tower 7 including south side of building here).
This photo shows the largest fires observed in Building 7 on
September 11, 2001. Other photographs taken from this vantage point
also show fires in the same location, but not elsewhere. Quite different than they described the scene
to you, huh? In the picture there isn't even hardly a broken window
on the south side of the building! (actually the South-East side,
the building wasn't built true to North, as you will see in the
below diagram; i.e., there isn't a "South" side of the
building). The above is certainly quite different than the scene
painted in your excerpt. Here, allow me to re-post that for you: "15) Fire Captain Brenda Berkman:
"We no sooner got going on something there when a chief
came along and said, 'Everybody's got to leave the area. We're
afraid that Seven World Trade is going to fall down.' The whole
south side of Seven World Trade had been hit by the collapse of
the second Tower, and there was fire on every floor." (Susan
Hagen and Mary Carouba, Women at Ground Zero, 2002, p.
213)" —
Original source You have been lied to, they are still lying to
you, and now it is up to you to figure out why they are
lying to you. Or, just go back to sleep till it's your turn. Below is a picture/diagram of the World Trade
Center complex. I'll include a link to the diagram in case it
doesn't send well in this E-mail. And at the link you can click on
the picture to enlarge it. Tower
7 was 200 meters away from Tower 1, separated by another (7 story)
building between them (which did not collapse, I might add). You
may recall that Towers 1 & 2 fell into their footprints. Meaning
that they didn't tip over two football fields in length (200 meters
= circa 200 yards) towards Tower 7. I am not trying to change your mind; I know
that many people today are brainwashed and unable to think
independent thoughts or go against the grain. Believe what you
will. But do know that another false flag attack is coming very
soon. And when it does, perhaps your eyes will open. One more thing, it isn't I that made up the
demolition story about Tower 7. You heard it directly from the
mouth of the owner of the building on video (he had a slip of the
tongue, he wasn't supposed to say that). What does it take to wake
some people up?!? Come on, get on the ball please. If you can't
even discern deception today of men, how are you going to be able to
discern deception when antichrist and his fallen angels get here in
the Tribulation? "And he
[antichrist/satan] doeth great wonders,
so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the
sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the
means of those miracles which he had power to do...." (Rev
13:13-14a). Also, go on the 'net and look at the videos
of Tower 7 collapsing (here
in real time, and
here in slow-motion). In *some* videos you will see the building
rise slightly and then come down (collapsing buildings don't heave
upwards, but demolition ones do). Also, notice that the whole
building comes down at the same time at the same speed, right into
its footprint. In other words, the damaged section (as though there
even was one!) didn't come down first then pull the rest down—it all
came down evenly. Just like a controlled demolition; just like
Towers 1 & 2 "fell."
One more thing. You wrote: "...and
nobody heard the sound of demolition?" Don't get hung up on the fact
that nobody heard explosions. The substance thought to be used
to demolish the buildings wasn't an explosive, it was a
heat-generating agent used to melt through the steel beams
instantly. They are called "cutter charges," I believe.
They ignite and instantly create sun-type heat and then go out (that
explains the molten iron still fluid in the sub-basements six weeks
after 911). "Thermite" is the rumored agent that is going
around nowadays. Thermite would do it.
The reader replies: I see you are getting defensive in your
replys. I used a quote from a Fire person in your link
about what She saw of building seven and i, as a reporter am
asking you to explain it, the photo does not, a photo is a
millisecond in time, not five hours or so. Please dont
chastise me.
Hello. I am sorry if you feel that I was hard
on you; perhaps I was. Now, I had just prepared a long response
to you explaining why I felt it was so important to warn our
brethren. But then my AOL crashed and I lost it. So this will just have to do as an
apology for any offense to you (but I never use reader's names
or anything, so it is not an offense to you proper.)
You helped me add some more supporting evidence, and for that I
am thankful. And while I cannot understand how you cannot see
that, Tower 7 specifically, is problematic; I respect your right
to have a different opinion on the matter than do I. But I will not withdraw my article and I
will not stop pointing out what I perceive to be the setting-up
of the beast's kingdom as revealed in Revelation chapter
thirteen. And if telling the hard truths on a Bible study
website turns people away from it, then I say to those leaving:
"Bless you, and may these endtimes rest upon you gently." As
for me, I shall continue to observe the signs that our Lord has
so graciously allowed us to glimpse. And I shall endeavor to be
as those faithful ones in the below Scripture who were still
working when their Lord returned.
Matthew 24:42-46
42 Watch therefore: for ye know
not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the
goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would
come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his
house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready:
for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and
wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his
household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that
servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so
doing. KJV "Doing" is a
verb. I believe that all Christians who are
aware of what is coming should be watchmen. And I also believe
that these sort have a responsibility.
Ezekiel 33:2-6
2 Son of man, speak to the
children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the
sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of
their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
3 If when he seeth the sword
come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the
people;
4 Then whosoever heareth the
sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword
come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own
head.
5 He heard the sound of the
trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him.
But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
6 But if the watchman see the
sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not
warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among
them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I
require at the watchman's hand. KJV
Watch, Watchmen, watch! And seeing, speak.

| Back To Top | Truth and compromise
A (Judaic-Christian) reader writes:
Hi [Xxxxxx]. Regarding your question:
Sadly, I can think of none. I exclude pastor Murray from possible candidates because he is not really a "mega-preacher." Pastor Murray is the best "TV preacher" out there, but even he won't dare mention the "J" word. The fact is, is that the Judaics control all ministries, some more than others; but none dare speak of "them." And that, my friend, is a form of control—content control. Let's face it, a minister cannot really tell the truth and remain in the public eye. So, men compromise hard truths in order to get the salvation message out, in order to stay on the Judaic-controlled media venues and reach the lost. I'll leave it up to God to decide if they chose wisely or foolishly. One man's "lukewarm" is another man's "be wise as serpents" (Rev 3:16 & Mat 10:16). But as for me and my small Internet ministry website: I would rather be read by none for telling the hard and ugly side, than to be famous telling half-truths and "feel-goods." And I am comfortable leaving it up to God what becomes of me. What I realize, and that which I feel so many do not, is that if God approves of any man's ministry, no matter how small and insignificant or how large and well known it might be, it will succeed in doing what God wants it to do against all odds and powerful enemies in high places. And what's more: we have not the right to dilute a thing and then call it TRUTH. And, if "we" determine on our own to censor (what I feel are important truths and warnings) in order to remain user-friendly, then "we" have taken God out of the loop, and there He shall go. That is why some ministries start out strong then fizzle. They sold out. And God, being betrayed, leaves. He will find another to do His will and work. God has ever replaced men when they have strayed from His will and purpose. God sets men up, satan beguiles them, they falter, God moves on, they fall into obscurity. On and on it goes, till the end. There is no good man, and God knows it; yet, He does little without involving us in the process. Thank God that God is a patient God.
Peace to you in Christ Jesus.

| Back To Top | Pray for the peace of Israel???
A reader writes:
Hello. Thank you for your closing prayer—I'll take it! :o) What a nice prayer. Let's look at the Scripture that they are basing this upon.
This verse is used by "Christian Zionist" and "Judeo-Christian" Judaic-manipulated front groups to coerce Christians into supporting Israel and the "Jews." "Peace" meaning to them that the Jews in Israel have their way and prevail. But is that really what the Scripture is admonishing us to do? Let us see. We shall publish the entire Psalm so as to get the context of it. As you read the Psalm try to pick up the timing of it, what is happening in it (your verse is verse 6). Psalm 122
That the above is not speaking of today, we offer the fact that:
One more thing: The mishandling of this Scripture is what is causing the confusion. The Jews today say that verse six means them (or Israel, or Jerusalem, etc.):
but it means neither; it means God. The verse is saying "they shall prosper that love God," or in a clearer English sentence structure: "Those that love God shall prosper." The colon (:) after the word Jerusalem in verse 6 acts as a period. Observe:
God wasn't telling people to love Israel, or "Jews," or Jerusalem—He wanted that they loved HIM. Regardless, there is absolutely no justification in applying the phrase "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee" to anything sitting in Jerusalem today. In this regard, those in Jerusalem claiming to "Jews" but are not (Rev 2:9, 3:9), do not love the Lord; far from it; for, they hate the Son. And to hate the Son IS TO hate the Father:
So-called Christians ("Christian-Zionists" and the impossibly-named "Judeo-Christians") are willing to reject Christ's above words—to strike them from the Holy Writ—all for the purpose of worshipping the so-called Jews. This can only be the endtimes when we see things like this happing on such a huge scale within World Christendom. Christianity en masse has all but been overthrown and beguiled by the Khazars; that is to say, by "them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." (Rev 2:9b). Yet, to hear some ministries speak today, one would think that they are winning the battle of good over evil. They aren't triumphing over evil—they are merging with it—they are being co-opted by it. Read the Psalm again and then look at so-called Israel of today in the Middle East—you will see two entirely different nations. Therefore, Christians are not required to "love" the so-called Jews on God's account. If you must "love" them, then love them as your enemy (Mat 5:43-44) and in that context; for they are your enemies because they are Jesus Christ's enemies; and if Christ's enemies then also God's enemies. And Jesus said: "If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you" (Jn 15:20b). And if they persecute you then they are your enemies; for, friends don't persecute (and kill) friends. Christians really need to stop looking at "Jews" as half-truth or half-way religious brothers; they are not, they are your enemies. They killed our Lord and defied the Most High God; they are not your friends, if, you be with Christ Jesus, that is. Are you to "hate" them? That would be the least of their troubles, and what would be the point anyway? They shall fall into God's hands on that final day. Psalm 122
Peace to you in Christ Jesus. *See also, our:

Also of note: The so-called nation of "Israel" today does not
possess but a portion of the vast swath of land that God promised to
Israel in the Bible—they just stole a part of it (at first a very small
part of it) and hijacked the name "Israel." If
what is in the Middle East today, answering to the name "Israel," were
really the fulfillment of God's promise to Biblical Israel, then the
modern day nation State of Israel would be as in the below map (see also
Num 34:1-12). This of course is not the case with this impostor
state and these impostor people. Therefore, it is not the
fulfillment of God's promise to Israel. So who are these people
then? And what is their nation? It's not Biblical, that much
is evident after the most cursory examination of the Israel
prophecies.
