Podcast appearances and mentions of israel after

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's Daily Briefing. Late last night, following a four-hour security consultation with top officials, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office declared that it was endorsing what it described as a proposal by US President Donald Trump’s special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, which would see the ceasefire with Hamas extended through Passover, which ends on April 19. What is this plan and how is it being received? Israel is not allowing any more goods to enter Gaza, says the Prime Minister’s Office, citing Hamas’s refusal to accept what it says is an American proposal to extend phase one of the ceasefire through Passover and Ramadan alongside more hostage releases. Berman explains what else Israel is currently withholding, which is counter to the mediated phase one deal. Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz instructed the Israel Defense Forces on Saturday to “prepare to defend” the Druze-majority city of Jaramana on the outskirts of Damascus in Syria. We hear why Israel sees itself as a defender of Druze and other minorities -- and what type of defense this may be. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said yesterday that he had signed a declaration to expedite the delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel after the Trump administration approved nearly $12 billion in major foreign military sales to the Jewish state. But after seeing the “good television” of a brush-up between Trump and Zelensky this weekend, should Israel be wary of such promises? Please see today's ongoing live blog for more updates.

Tonight, Co-Hosts JD Williams and David Paxton discuss the "End of the Age". Not the End of the World, but instead the last opportunity for many to escape Eternal Punishment. The End of the Age is spoken of throughout the Bible. With many incorrectly believing Matthew 24 depicts the Rapture of the Church following the Great Tribulation.

Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said:“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;the whole earth is full of his glory!”And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” And he said, “Go, and say to this people:“‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand;keep on seeing, but do not perceive.'Make the heart of this people dull,    and their ears heavy,    and blind their eyes;lest they see with their eyes,    and hear with their ears,and understand with their hearts,    and turn and be healed.”Then I said, “How long, O Lord?”And he said:“Until cities lie waste    without inhabitant,and houses without people,    and the land is a desolate waste,Officiant: The Word of the LordPeople: Thanks be to God. The Song of Mary - MagnificatMy soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; * for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant From this day all generations will call me blessed: * the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him * in every generation.He has shown the strength of his arm, * he has scattered the proud in their conceit.He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, * and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, * and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel, * for he has remembered his promise of mercy, The promise he made to our fathers, * to Abraham and his children for ever.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *as It was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Revelation 7:1–4,9–17 - English Standard VersionAfter this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, that no wind might blow on earth or sea or against any tree. Then I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, with the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to harm earth and sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000, sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.“Therefore they are before the throne of God,    and serve him day and night in his temple;    and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;    the sun shall not strike them,    nor any scorching heat.For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd,    and he will guide them to springs of living water,and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”Officiant: The Word of the LordPeople: Thanks be to God. The Song of Simeon - Nunc dimittisLord, you now have set your servant free * to go in peace as you have promised; For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, * whom you have prepared for all the world to see: A Light to enlighten the nations, * and the glory of your people Israel.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: * as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. The CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. The PrayersOfficiant: The Lord be with you.People: And also with you.Officiant: Let us pray The SuffragesThat this evening may be holy, good, and peaceful, We entreat you, O Lord.That your holy angels may lead us in paths of peace and goodwill, We entreat you, O Lord.That we may be pardoned and forgiven for our sins and offenses, We entreat you, O Lord.That there may be peace to your Church and to the whole world, We entreat you, O Lord.That we may depart this life in your faith and fear, and not be condemned before the great judgment seat of Christ, We entreat you, O Lord.That we may be bound together by your Holy Spirit in the communion of all your saints, entrusting one another and all our life to Christ, We entreat you, O Lord.Take a moment at this time to reflect and pray for the needs of others. The First Week of AdventAlmighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Amen.A Prayer of St. ChrysostomAlmighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen. ConclusionMay the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. - Romans 15:13

There are two conflicting ideals about the salvation of the Israelites. The first is that some Israelites (a remnant) will be saved based on their belief in Christ and their ability to follow Gods Laws. The other is that All Israel will be saved no matter what regardless of their sin: “and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.” Romans 11:26 The scripture says that "The Deliver" (Christ) would turn godlessness (sin) away from Israel. Not that they would turn away from it themselves, but that he would turn them away from their sin. In the book of Ezekiel God seems to prophesy a very similar message that he would turn Israel away from the sin that they/we are currently in "Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.' ”” Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭ I will put my spirit in the dead Israelites and make them live. While we are yet still in sin, he died for us. This is truly a faith that surpasses all UNDERSTANDING. It is a faith that is essentially saying, that God is going to save the Israelites, ALL ISRAEL, no matter what sin we commit right now, regardless of our situation, we will be saved. Damn, that's a radical faith. Look at this scripture: “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And write them in their hearts: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness,” (‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭8‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ , Jeremiah 31:31). God says that he will be merciful to the unrighteousness of the Israelites, that he is going to supernaturally pour out his spirit and place his laws in their hearts and minds. The scripture continues: "And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old.” ‭‭(Hebrews‬ ‭8‬:‭10‬-‭13‬ ‭KJV‬‬ , Jeremiah 31:31) So they are in sin, because God says that their "Sin" he will remember no more. How can he do this and be a righteous God? For the wages of sin is death: “In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Hebrews 9:22 And Christ said out of his own mouth that he was sent "Only to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel." Making him Israels sacrifice for their sin. This is deep and not all will be able to receive this. “and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him;“ 1 John 3:2 You are not what you are going to be, You are going to be changed supernaturally, having Gods Laws, Gods Wisdom, his spirit: “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” 1 Corinthians 15:52 All Israel Will Be Saved!!!

The Truth Shall Set You Free. In this message I give a detailed timeline of “Our Salvation.” What is Salvation? Modern Day Christianity and the the have made us believe that it is just something spiritual, but the truth is the root word of “Salvation” is “SAVED” or to be “Rescued.” Contrary to popular belief the “Salvation” that is coming for those who were scattered, will be a physical “Salvation.” “Then say, “Save us, O God of OUR SALVATION, And gather us and DELIVER US FROM THE NATIONS, To give thanks to Your holy name, And glory in Your praise.” 1 Chronicles 16:35 “Like as now the neighbours of Sion have seen your captivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation from our God which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of the Everlasting.” Baruch 4:24 This Salvation will be supernatural, obviously, because it is going to take a supernatural divine hand of God, to gather all those who were scattered world wide on ships. In these Last Days God is going to pour out his spirit on us. Gods Spirit is his Mind and His Power (Strength) ““And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” Joel 2:28 It's us having Gods mind: “and I will circumcise the foreskin of their heart and the foreskin of the heart of their seed, and I will create in them a holy spirit, and I will cleanse them so that they shall not turn away from Me from that day unto eternity.” And their souls will cleave to Me and to all My commandments, and they will fulfil My commandments, and I will be their Father and they shall be My children.” Jubilee 1:22 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And write them in their hearts: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.” Hebrews 8:8-12 KJV Gods Chosen People having his strength in the Last Days: It's us having Gods power “Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.” Leviticus 26:8 NIV “When Israel was diligent in the law, and observed the commandments, one of them chased a thousand, and two of them put ten thousand to flight; but because they have sinned and vexed the Almighty to anger, He hath left them to the hand of their enemies.” Deuteronomy 32:30 It's us literally being Gods on earth ‘I have said, Ye are gods; And all of you are children of the most High. ‘ Psalm 82:6

We have all been called by God. Called to work, marriage or celibacy, holiness, obedience, and salvation. Sometimes we even know a more specific calling. Our calls are God's invitations for us to share in Him and His work on earth. Sounds terrific, doesn't it. However, these calls are not unopposed. Satan, our own sin, and even circumstances can make God's calling appear costly and difficult, if not impossible. As a result, we often find ourselves uncertain, anxious, and afraid to listen and obey God's call.--Like us, David was called by God. Unlike us, He was explicitly called to be King of Israel- After the defeat of Goliath, David is thrust deep into the kingdom's politics. He is surrounded by potential enemies, war, and plots against his life- Becoming King looks impossible. Yet by the end of Chapter 19, though not yet King, David has a covenant friend, a wife, the love and admiration of the entire kingdom, a stack of victories over the Philistines, and safety. How-- The Lord delivers David from all who oppose his call upon him. As we will see, the methods vary, but the victory is sure.-Like David, we can be sure of success in God's calling on our lives. No matter how impossible it may seem at times. Because the Lord delivers his people from all who oppose his call upon them.

Obey and Love or be Separated (4) (Audio) David Eells - 3/13/22 Bride Rids the House of Snakes Claire Pienaar - 2/24/22 (David's notes in red)   I dreamed I was cleaning out an old wooden home, and I found a large fat brown snake. I grabbed it like it was an old piece of wood, and walked through the house to the front porch, where I chucked it into a terrarium. (The snake was no threat though many would think it is.)  (I asked the Lord what the brown snake was and received "no man there", (which represents the Syrians who fled because the Lord scattered them and they were not a threat like the snake.) in 2 Ki. 7:5-7  And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians; and when they were come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there. 6 For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.  7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. (What was perceived to be a threat by God's people was under the control of God who is in control of all of our enemies.)  (The name Syria means The highland, exalted; which comes from the Hebrew word "Aram" (Strong's #H758). This brown snake represents the beast hidden in the house. Mar 16:18 they shall take up serpents... The Lord said that we must take courage, because He has overcome the world. If I represent the Bride, then she has been given the grace to take the snake out of the wooden home, which represents the 'cross life or crucified life' of putting to death the old self. ( Isa 27:1  In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.) Also, if there are sinful Christians in our midst, we are commanded to put those individuals with their spirits out of our midst so that the whole body doesn't miss out on the benefits of God. 1Co 5:7-13  Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, even Christ:  8  wherefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9 I wrote unto you in my epistle to have no company with fornicators; 10 [not at all meaning with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world: 11 but as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. 12 For what have I to do with judging them that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Put away the wicked man from among yourselves.) In the dream my children were quite alarmed at my cavalier attitude towards taking out this snake. There was a frog, a fish and some insects in there too. (These represent the unclean individuals and their evil spirits that must be removed from the corporate Bride body or “house".). Then I went back to cleaning in the wooden home, and I saw a bright green snake, very thin and quite small, slither up next to a wooden chair I was wiping down. I was not frightened. (The enemy seeks to frighten us out of resting on the promises of the cross).  I took the snake in my hands to put it into the terrarium with the other creatures, but a piece of the snake broke off, it was so brittle. (This represents a faction of the faction like Abimelek and the men of Shechem as we will see in another revelation below. This happens because they reap what they sow.) So I picked both pieces of the snake up, and then the snake tried to talk me out of putting it in the terrarium. I did not engage with it at all. I popped it in the terrarium, and its head became swollen or bulbous in anger and it tried to bite me but it was just too weak. (I asked the Lord what the green snake was, and received "Ar of Moab" from Isa. 15:1  For in a night Ar of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nought; for in a night Kir of Moab is laid waste, and brought to nought. (Moab factioned against their kindred Israel and so they were destroyed.) I put the lid on the terrarium, and then thought, “Huh, they're not going to be able to breathe in there. Oh well”. I knew they'd die in there. (I am not so cavalier about killing God's creatures in the natural, so that is why this attitude stood out to me in the dream. The point is that both of these were placed in the terrarium with a lid on them, meaning they would receive no more fresh air and eventually die, according to my dream. Normally terrariums have a way for the critters inside to breathe, but not in this dream.) (Those who continue in their willful disobedience will die. God resists the proud. Jas. 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore the scripture saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.) I went back inside and my grannies appeared in the kitchen, cooking some good food. (Representing the original Church and Gospel.) I realized then that I was actually quite tired but this supernatural energy came over me and I woke up, with much energy for the day. (Riaan: Cleaning or sanctification and deliverance are synonymous in this dream it seems. Once the demons and curses have been removed, you can turn back to the mature gospel once delivered unto the saints, represented by Claire's grannies).   Rebellion Halts Our Progress to be in the Bride Eve Brast - 2/2/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that I (Representing the Bride Body) was out in the front driveway of the UBM house which seemed like my house too in the dream. (The front driveway represents a happening in the near future.) I had been given a brand new, luxury, Lincoln SUV with shiny, chrome rims to drive. It was a company car owned by UBM. (Lincoln was the president under whom the faction between the states was reunited and under whom slavery was abolished. This corporate Unleavened Bread Ministries “Lincoln" vehicle that the Bride is given to drive will, through the anointing of the Man-child, abolish the factions of apostasy and their system of slavery to self works, legalism and false doctrines. Isa. 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;) But cats had wedged themselves up into the wheel rims of the car and I had to really struggle to get them dislodged from each wheel before I was able to drive the car forward. (They were keeping the wheels from turning.) (As a bride body we have been making progress towards being sanctified to be ready for the Lord's coming. Any spots or blemishes hinder that progress.) So I went around to all the wheels and worked hard to get the cats out. Once they were out I went inside the house into the living room and sat down at a blue card table with two other UBM brethren who also had cats stuck in their wheels. (Cats represent what their nature is. Self will, stubborn independence, and rebellion which the Bible says is witchcraft. This stops the progress towards the goal of being in the Bride.) There was a Man in authority standing behind me a little to my right. (Representing the Lord) He was telling these two brethren to listen to me because I had succeeded in getting the cats out of my wheels. So they began to listen to me and learn how to dislodge the cats from the wheels of their own vehicles, so that they too could move forward and drive their cars. (Moving forward is maturing in Christlikeness which the Bride is an example of.) Then I woke up.   History Repeats: Abimelek and the Men of Shechem Claire Pienaar - 3/5/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was walking a long dusty road with my children. There were large homes on the left side of the road and we needed to turn off the road at some point to get to our Airbnb for a rest. (An Airbnb is a temporary corporate or privately owned residential vacation rental.) The other side of the road had rolling open fields.  We were coming to a shady portion where a few little outdoor booths for selling things. There were only ladies serving the public there, and they were all dressed in flowing white apparel. Something seemed off about this little intersection, and I thought of the words “white witches”. (Riaan: On the outside everything appears peaceful, like suburbia, but there is a dark war going on with witchcraft attacks against the Bride. But as we will see, it is all under control from the Father, who ultimately controls everything, even the evil to test the righteous.) Then I saw a little black dog run towards us from across the hills. It was coming straight for my daughter, and was going to attack her. I braced her for the attack and put myself between the dog and her, and it came right for my right shoulder. Before the dog tore into my flesh, I saw another black dog bounding from it's owner. It was much bigger, and it was much faster. This second black dog tore into the little dog immediately and we were spared. I was so thankful! (This is like Abimelek, the small dog, and the men of Shechem, the larger dog, who were in agreement to kill the sons of Gideon but they missed the surviving Man-child who prophesied that their faction would turn against one another and destroy each other.) This reminds me of a dream Eve had recently: Eve said, “On 3/8/22 I dreamed that I was responsible to guard, mentor and protect a young lady. After I insured that she was safe and provided for at the moment, I went and laid down to take a nap. Suddenly, I was awakened by a sense of urgency that the young lady was in danger from the faction. (We can't ever sleep on the job. We must stay alert and armored up and in warfare against the plots and attacks of the wicked.) As I was trying to wake up, a heavy sleep paralysis came upon me so strong that it was preventing me from getting up and going to check on her to ensure her current safety. I was in a panic concerning her well-being as I struggled to rise up against the attack. I was finally able to overcome this witchcraft paralysis and go to tend to the young ladies needs. I was relieved to find her safe, happy and unaffected. I knew in the dream that it was witchcraft that was being sent against me by the factious to prevent me from protecting the weaker and less mature members of our Body." Claire went on to say: The dog's owner came up to me. He was a strong, very muscular man with bright blue training shorts and blue t-shirt on, with white socks and tennis shoes. He was tanned and looked exceptionally healthy. I was so thankful, and I praised him for this salvation. (This man represents the Lord who is in charge of all the black dogs whose blackness represents evil works. Isa. 45:7  I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things.) Then the man said, “Look what happens next”.  The shady area had now transformed into a flea-market booth. There were dark-skinned women in bright rainbow-colored flowing dresses, with rainbow-colored head-dresses. (On the more literal side, I believe they represent the LGTBQ#?! Community or those who are “woke” OR leftist, globalist anarchists.) (These non-sensical people all faction against the righteous.).  They were making and handing out all these little trinkets where you could show your support for the little dog that had been wounded. I thought, “This makes no sense. My daughter was almost mauled by that dog. How are they getting this wrong?”). (This is why we call them the stupid demons.) They were trying to force me to wear their little arm bands and wrist bands and wanted my money to “support their cause”. I thought “This is non-sensical. The well-trained bigger dog totally saved my life. This guy has trained the dog so well!”. Then I woke up. (The larger faction will turn on the leadership like the men of Shechem did with Abimelek.) Our Lord has the dogs trained to do exactly what they are supposed to do. I received the following verse by faith at random when I asked the Lord for a word: Ezekiel 22:20  As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.    Bride Almost Ready to Leave for the Kings House Eve Brast - 3/6/22 I dreamed that I was in the Spirit watching myself and David standing on a train station platform. We were both very tall and thin and we both had golden blonde hair (Symbolizing submission to the Son). We were much younger than in real life. (I believe that the Lord is using me as a representation of the Bride Body and David as the Man-child/ David Body. My hair wasn't really curly like it is in real life but long and wavy. And my appearance also was not as it is in real life but stunningly beautiful.) (Curls go in every direction which may speak of confusion.  Waves are more in unison. Hair represents submission so I see peace in the body here as we submit to God.) I was dressed in a vintage Southern Bell dress from the 1860's Civil War time period. It was a sky blue and white, plaid material. (Dressed in the works of the early church while war is going on around us.) I had many young, very handsome and beautiful children of different ages, also with golden blonde hair, gathered all around me. (The fruit around and being raised by the Bride body also learning submission to the Lord.) They were clinging to the skirt of my dress and I had a new born baby boy with golden blonde hair in a forest green infant carrier that was strapped to the front of my chest.(The Brides personal fruit of Christ in her) We were all there to catch the last train leaving the station. David looked over at me and said, “The train is getting ready to leave the station, but there are still a few boxes left at my house that you need to go and pack up before we can leave.” (This could be timing because spiritually we are hauling away boxes of our stuff from the old house to leave the leaven in it. We just had a dream below where Father told us to go into the old house and get what is ours out. When Esther left the house of the women it was to go to the Kings House. So the train is going to the Kings House. What did Esther take with her? Only what the Kings Chamberlain, the Holy Spirit, showed her. Est 2:15-17  Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.  16  So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.  17  And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.) I, being in the Spirit, was a little shocked and disappointed at hearing this because I appeared so beautiful with all my beautiful children on the boarding platform and it looked as if we were all ready to leave. (If I hadn't had the dream knowledge that I was viewing myself in this dream, I absolutely would not have recognized this beautiful woman as me.) (Which is important for the types because Eve was the bride of Adam and Jesus is the last Adam. He is the born again Adam and the Father of the born again people of God, the NEW creation people.  He is called the Father of Eternity in Isa 9:6-7  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father (Hebrew: Father of Eternity), Prince of Peace.  7  Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this. Those who walk in the Adamic nature are the old natural creation. "As in Adam all died so also in Christ shall all be made alive.” 1Co 15:50  Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Jesus told the old creation Jews like Nicodemus that they had to be born again. So Jesus had to preach to the souls in prison before they could enter the Kingdom. Eve went on to say: So I went back to David's house, which was much bigger with many more rooms than in real life. (The Man-child David's house and its members now reach around the world. Mar 11:17  And he taught, and said unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations? but ye have made it a den of robbers. Rev 12:5  And she was delivered of a son, a man child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.)   I began to pack up the remaining boxes and tidy up the last remaining areas of the house while David and the children waited for my return to the boarding platform. (Leaving behind the leaven and warfare to peace and prosperity with the presence of the Lord in Zion, the King's house.) Then I woke up. (PTL! Almost there.)   Coming out of the Old House to go to the Kings House Claire Pienaar - 11/17/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was with my Father in a white car. (My father represents my heavenly Father, and the white car represents sanctification when I am in communion with Him through His Son, Jesus). He had told me and my step-mom, Ruth, that we needed to go into the house that he pulled up in front of, and get everything out that belonged to us, as he had directed. (Leaving this house represents leaving the house of the women spoken of in Esther to go to the King's house. Many of God's people are like the queens, concubines and virgins mentioned in Song of Solomon who were not chosen to be the perfected Bride as the Shulammite was. Song 6:8-9,13 There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, And virgins without number. 9 My dove, my undefiled, (meaning spotless and blemishless) is but one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; Yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her… 13 Return, return, O Shulammite; (Perfect or completed one) Return, return, that we may look upon thee. Why will ye look upon the Shulammite, As upon the dance of Mahanaim? We must be willing to come out of the house of the women as Esther did to go to the house of the King. Here in Song of Solomon the King chose these perfected ones.)  Ruth was trying to enter and leave the house too quickly. (She is not ready to be promoted to the position of Bride.) (My step-mom represents the name “Ruth” meaning: "those who commiserate with those who are in misery." (We are not called to stay in the apostate church to commiserate with their misery, but to come out from among them.) (I represent the Bride, who listens attentively to the voice of the Father and does what He requires.)   I went behind her and started packing up the things I knew my dad wanted. A few things stood out to me: The first was a large purple shampoo bottle. (Purple is a sign of royalty. Shampoo is to clean up our hair; a sign of submission to the Lord in 1Co.11, so that we may be His royal children.) The second thing that stood out to me was that I was piling coverings of many kinds into the car. These included shawls, blankets, scarves, and so forth. (Preparing for winter, just ahead, which is tribulation according to Jesus. The apostate church is not preparing for tribulation, but to ‘fly away' before it.)  The last thing that stood out to me was that I threw out all the clothes with holes that were in the house, and then I brought all the long dresses I could carry for my daughters. (When flesh is seen through our clothes we are in outward sin. Long dresses cover all flesh in our walk. We are to be covered in the blood.)   My step-mom did not fare well in this exercise. (Because she had not grown beyond the house of the women.) She was very forgetful, undecided, and kept on walking into a room and not knowing why she was there. (She sees no purpose in this preparation or separation.) She also kept forgetting to pack toiletries, and each time I went into the bathroom, I had to remind her that we need that stuff, and that my dad wants that stuff. (The Bride in Esther took only what was pleasing to the King.)  (I think this represents the languishing power of the apostate church, she's aging and it shows. Riaan: Her forgetfulness represents the fact that a large portion of the apostate church has forgotten the tools required to be “cleaned” spiritually: deliverance, authority to cast out demons, as Jesus said in Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.).  I was kind and patient but my Father was growing slightly impatient with her... (He desires that we come out from among them so we are not partakers of their evil works. Then we may go to Zion, the King's house.)   Resist Faction: "I Am not a Harsh God" Marie Kelton - 11/12/21 (David's notes in red)  I had an open vision, of the Lord dressed in kingly garments with a scepter in his hand. He was sitting on a throne and He started to get up. I was wearing all white and standing in the middle of the room facing him. As He was getting up I turned and started running towards the door. (Fear of the Lord can cause people to be white or righteous in their actions. But an unhealthy fear of the Lord can cause a person to not see Him as a loving Father.)  I heard Him call my name. He didn't say it in a mean way, but I kept running. Then two large angels came and stood in front of me to keep me from running to the door. (God was showing her what Factious spirits do to people. Spirits of faction and factious thoughts and unforgiveness, even towards ourselves, will rob us of our faith which is the foundation of our salvation in all circumstances. Then we don't have boldness to go before the throne of God with confidence.) As I was cowering on the floor, the Lord came and lifted me up and put his hand on my face and gently said to me, "I Am not a harsh God." Then the Lord's clothes changed into a simple, white linen garment. He took my hand and we walked together through the doors and I knew I was in heaven. (The Lord is weak to the weak represented by Him changing His garments from His kingly stature to a simple white linen garment so that we are able to relate to Him and walk with Him. 2 Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.)    Your Covenant with Death Shall be Annulled Marie Kelton - 11/1/21 (David's notes in red) The Lord gave me an open vision. I was holding a black object in my left hand. The Lord, who was seated next to me, took it from me and stepped on it. As He did this, the object shattered like glass. (This black object in the left hand represents the covenant with death that our sinful flesh nature is in agreement with.) Then I saw the Lord with a black scroll in His hand and He ripped it in half. (Representing that my covenant with death has been annulled. Isa 28:18  And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand...).  Then, I saw the Lord writing on a white scroll and He said to me, "I will enter into a covenant with thee”. Eze 16:8 Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord Jehovah, and thou becamest mine. (As we repent of our former life, we are coming out of our covenant with death to enter in to covenant with God as we read of His promises and warnings.) Heb 8:10-13 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.   Don't Avoid Your Cross  Isaac Payne - 2/19/21 (David's notes in red) In this dream, I was in the days of Jesus during the Roman occupation in Israel. (Rome was the physical Beast kingdom in Jesus' day. This dream is a representation of our modern day Roman Beast kingdom that oppresses and persecutes God's spiritual Israel. This Beast in our day is described in Daniel as the Iron mixed with clay. Dan. 2:41-44 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron, (The original Roman empire) forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things; and as iron that crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush. 41 And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 42 And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. (The Roman empire in our day is mixed with lesser kingdoms that were never part of the original empire.) 43 And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with clay. 44 And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty thereof be left to another people; but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. History just repeats on larger and larger scales as it says in Ecc. 1:9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.) I was in what I believe was the Roman Praetorium. It had large columns and steps that led downward to the square of the Praetorium. The square was a level lower than the entrance. (The Praetorium was the residence of the Roman governor, and in the case of Judaea Province there was a Praetorium in both Caesarea and Jerusalem due to the Roman capital being at Caesarea, but the additional importance of maintaining a Roman presence in Jerusalem due to its place as the center of worship for Judaism.)  There were many people there and all of them were of high estate. Everyone was wearing Roman Togas. (Only Roman citizens were allowed to wear togas representing all those who are a part of the Beast kingdom.) Also, in this dream I wasn't myself, I was the disciple Peter. I looked around and saw all the other disciples. I, being Peter, and the rest of the disciples formed a circle and in the center of us was Jesus. Jesus had long hair and a beard and was wearing a blue and white tunic. (This represents Jesus who dwells in the midst of the body of His disciples individually and corporately. Zec. 2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith Jehovah.) As I (Peter) looked around the Praetorium, I noticed Roman soldiers lined up in a single file and searching for Jesus. The Roman soldiers looked just as you would imagine. They had the bronze soldiers helmet with a red plume of horse hair, a bronze breast plate, sword sheath on their side and leather tunics. They were marching single file throughout the Praetorium looking to capture Jesus.  (Acts 4:26-28 The kings of the earth set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed: 27  for of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together, 28 to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council foreordained to come to pass.) I (Peter) and the rest of the disciples did not want them capturing Jesus. We kept Him in the middle of our formed circle and scurried through the peoples attempting to hide Jesus.  We went the opposite way that the soldiers were heading, walking through the crowd that seemed to form a maze. (John 12:23-25 And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.) As we got to the far side of the praetorium we turned around and saw the soldiers also turning around at the opposite side of the praetorium. Again they marched single file; coming our way yet again looking to capture Jesus. We walked in their direction but on the far side of the Roman civilians that were forming a maze hiding us.  We passed by the Roman soldiers yet again but without being noticed and were again at the far end of the praetorium. As I (Peter) looked again to see what the Roman soldiers were doing. They were once again turning around and coming our way to seize Jesus.  The disciples and I, still forming a circle around Jesus, began to walk to the opposite side that the Roman soldiers were heading to. We passed through the maze of Roman civilians yet again and without being noticed by the Roman soldiers. Then I woke up. (When our will is not in line with the Father's will then we have set ourselves in opposition against Him and we will just make things harder on ourselves. We must get on God's side against our old man otherwise we can't walk with Him. John 21:18-19 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 Now this he spake, signifying by what manner of death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. John 12:23-27  And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor. 27 Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came I unto this hour.) Mat 16:21-23 From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and the third day be raised up. 22  And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: This shall never be unto thee. 23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, get thee behind me Satan: thou art a stumbling block unto me: for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. (I believe that in this dream this was exactly what I, as Peter, was doing. I was trying to keep Christ in me from going to His cross.)    The same morning of having the dream, I opened my Bible to read it before work. I just so happened to open it at John 18, not even meaning to do a faith at random text for my dream. John 18:1-5 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook of Kidron where was a garden into which he entered, himself and his disciples. 2 Now Judas also, who betrayed him knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples. 3 Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were coming upon him, went forth, and saith unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them I am. And Judas also also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.  (What is significant about this verse is that Jesus knew he had to carry his cross and "went forth.”) (We too, need to go forth as sons of God and carry out our Father's will. If we love Him we will keep His commandments.)   The Son of God in You Gabe Watson - 3/2/22 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I felt like I couldn't do something. (Php. 4:13 I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me.) I then saw the words "Son of God" on a page in a book. There were other words around it but I couldn't see the other words except in my mind. I knew it said, "Son of God in you”. (If the Son of God is in you we are not limited to do anything that is the will of God. This is like the promise of Christ in you the hope of Glory as it says in Col. 1:27 to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.) Then all the other words started to disappear and fade away. Then the words "Son of God" became the only visible ones and the words "in you" faded away. (By faith we no longer see ourselves and our old nature but only the Son of God in us. 2Co. 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.) As I focused on the words "Son of God" I knew that it was me. As I realized this, it physically felt like a powerful rushing wind in my whole body and a shaking in my body, like my body was being lifted up. (Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This realization is what ultimately brings the manifestation of Christ in us.) It was almost like a presence or an entity. (Jesus) I awoke out of the dream feeling the same thing in my body. The process was still happening as it was in the dream.  As I was thinking about the dream, I fell back asleep and dreamed, that I felt like something bad was going to happen to my wife. (Representing satan's plan for the Bride.) As we were having cereal in the dream, I began to believe that something bad wasn't going to happen to her. (Because the Sons of God bind it with their faith. Jesus said of the disciples that John the Baptist called the Bride. John 17:12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.)  As I had that thought, the rushing wind came again and it woke me out of sleep, the same as it had before. The whole process was the same as it was in the previous dream.    Christ is Coming in You Before He Comes for You Isaac Payne- 2/20/22 (David's notes in red) In this dream I was in an elevator that was inside a high-rise building. (Representing our assent to Mount Zion which is located in the heavenlies in Christ where we are seated at His right hand.)  As I was standing in the elevator the doors opened up and two women walked inside the elevator with me. (These women represent sects and denominations of apostate Christianity.) These women had curly brown hair that looked like it was permed. (Curly Brown hair is hair that goes in every direction and represents being in submission to the darkness and confusion of the false religious doctrines of apostate Christianity.) They both were wearing a button up shirt and skirts. By the way they were dressed I assumed they were Pentecostals. I knew in the dream they were religious by the traditions they followed. Col. 2:8 Take heed lest there shall be any one that maketh spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.)    As the two women walked into the elevator I walked out.  (2 Co 6:17 Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you.)   As I was walking out, I heard them talking about the rapture and how God was going to come and get them. I think that they meant being raptured before tribulation. (Mat 24:29-31 But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send forth his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.) As they were talking about the rapture I turned around and said, "Do you want to hear a truth?" They looked at me a bit confused that I was even talking to them. Then I said, "The truth is this, Christ is coming in you before he comes for you." They were shocked and looking at me with confusion. I don't believe they received the truth I told them. (1 Joh 2:28 And now, my little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested (in us), (The Greek word for manifested here is Phaneroo and it means to make visible or cause to shine.) we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. (The Greek word here is Parousia, meaning his physical coming.) And 1Joh 3:2-10 Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested (in us), we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is. 3 And every one that hath this hope set on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him.  7 My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: 8 he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.) Then the elevator door shut and I'm not sure where the elevator took them but, I feel that they went downward toward the bottom of the high-rise, but I didn't see it in my dream. (If we hang on to our idolatry we will lose our position in the kingdom and it could end up costing us the position in the first fruits.) I felt that I was on one of the upper floors of the building; not to the top yet, but certainly on my way. Then I woke up. (2 Joh 1:8-9 Look to yourselves, that ye lose not the things which we have wrought, but that ye receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever goeth onward and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same hath both the Father and the Son.)   The David's Manifest Death to Self   Adriana Santoro - 3/8/22 (David's notes in red) I was in a large open spaced home. The lights were turned off, but it wasn't pitch black because there was still moonlight shining through the windows.  I'm not quite sure whose home this was, my memory has faded a little, but I believe I actually felt it was my own home as well. (The UBM house.) I walked down a set of stairs into the kitchen area and saw an open book on the end of the kitchen bench, opened to the last page. It was a book of David Eells and there was a note stating that David had passed away, but he was aware of it and had pre-planned all the details with members of the UBM ministry to take over certain roles. (The Man-child David's will have much help to take over tasks which will leave them free to do what Jesus did. One parable I have seen is that David the warrior was passing away through sanctification, as His fruit, Solomon, the prince of peace, as a type of Jesus, was taking his place to build the house of the Lord.  This is about to happen. 2Ch 6:4-9 And he (Solomon) said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying, 5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel: 6 but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.  7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel. 8 But Jehovah said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart: (but David was a man of blood) 9 nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins (who was Solomon; the prince of peace, a type of Jesus), he shall build the house for my name. (i.e. David died through sanctification and brought forth Jesus.) David had written on the note concerning his death, “I have been sanctified.” (This Represents David's death to self, spiritually.) (David was physically alive when he wrote the note saying “I have been sanctified” so it is spiritual death to self. Sanctification is the process of death to the old man and the resurrection life of the new man in you. This new man is Solomon, the prince of peace, Jesus.) For some reason after reading that line in the book, I had an inclination David had passed in the UBM house but I wasn't sure where and I was in a bit of shock, considering! Then I woke up.   Select Language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Azerbaijani Basque Belarusian Bengali Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Corsican Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Esperanto Estonian Filipino Finnish French Frisian Galician Georgian German Greek Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Hawaiian Hebrew Hindi Hmong Hungarian Icelandic Igbo Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Javanese Kannada Kazakh Khmer Kinyarwanda Korean Kurdish (Kurmanji) Kyrgyz Lao Latin Latvian Lithuanian Luxembourgish Macedonian Malagasy Malay Malayalam Maltese Maori Marathi Mongolian Myanmar (Burmese) Nepali Norwegian Odia (Oriya) Pashto Persian Polish Portuguese Punjabi Romanian Russian Samoan Scots Gaelic Serbian Sesotho Shona Sindhi Sinhala Slovak Slovenian Somali Spanish Sundanese Swahili Swedish Tajik Tamil Tatar Telugu Thai Turkish Turkmen Ukrainian Urdu Uyghur Uzbek Vietnamese Welsh Xhosa Yiddish Yoruba Zulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version

This week's lesson is entitled, "Jesus, the Mediator of the New Covenant." Sunday's discussion question reads, "Why can't the law save us? After all, if we keep all the commandments, and keep them well—even flawlessly—why shouldn't that save us?" Sabbath School Quarterly Lesson, Sunday, February 13, 2022 The first issue we need to address here is the fact that, so often, people use words like "save," "saved," and "salvation" as heavily loaded theological terms - even without realizing it. When Christians say that someone is saved, they usually mean the person has been reconciled to God, their guilt has been wiped away, God has justified them, and they are granted their passport to heaven. Notice how several concepts are all grouped together in this one word. In reality, the scriptures use words like "saved" and "salvation" in a huge variety of contexts, and in each instance it means something pretty simple - basically to be delivered or rescued from something. For just a few examples, it is used for being saved or delivered from illness (Luke 8:48), to be rescued from calamity (Matt. 8:25), to be saved or delivered from sin (Matt. 1:21), and to be saved from the coming wrath (Rom. 5:9). The way we talk about being "saved" today as a catch-all phrase for all things related to sin, guilt, and our final destiny, simply isn't how the scriptures talk about being saved. Some passages speak of being saved from sin, and others speak of being saved from destruction or from death, but these are separate instances of salvation, or deliverance. Someone could be saved from some calamity or destruction, but it doesn't mean they have been saved from their sins. Someone could be saved from illness, but it doesn't mean they are saved from the second death. But since we are in the habit of combining a whole series of things together and labeling it as "salvation" or "being saved" we end up applying things that really only relate to one aspect, to a whole bunch of other things.   For example, Ephesians 2:4-10 relates the beautiful truth that we can be saved from sin (from transgressing the law) by faith in Christ. This salvation cannot be achieved by any good works of our own, which only makes sense because while we are sinners we don't have any good works. If we sin, we transgress the whole law and all our works are tainted by sin and are filthy rags. While sinners, we don't have any genuinely good works by which we could save ourselves and thus God wouldn't be so unreasonable as to require good works as a pre-requisite to receiving salvation from sin. To be saved from sinning is a salvation that can only be achieved by grace and through faith, that is trust, in Christ and his truth.   This is a plain scriptural truth that is taught in many passages. But Because of conflating the idea of salvation from sin with other scriptural ideas, people end up believing that since good works aren't (and can't be) required for salvation from sin, they must not be required at all. But this isn't the case. Scripture also plainly declares that actual righteousness is required of us as a condition for entering the kingdom of heaven and receiving everlasting life. Notice, entering the kingdom and receiving everlasting life are not the same thing as being saved from sin. Being saved from sin is something we can experience here and now and it has to do with a transformation of our thoughts and actions - a change in character. Entering the kingdom and receiving everlasting life, on the other hand, while we can have the guarantee of them now, we won't actually experience them until later. They are the inheritance of the saints. Being saved from sin and receiving our inheritance are two very different things - even though they are related.   We are saved from sin by grace through faith, without works (Rom. 3:28), yet we are judged by our works (2 Cor. 5:10), and the conditions for entering the kingdom and experiencing everlasting life are to be free from sin, doing only righteousness (1 John 3:4-10 with John 3:3). The way this fits together is this: Being saved from sin is not a theory or a legal fiction - it is a practical reality. If we actually sin, we haven't been saved from sin. If we have been saved from sin, we won't sin, but will instead do only what is right - which is what it is to live the life of Christ. We need to die to self - to give up our own ways, and be born again to live Christ's life of pure unadulterated truth and right-doing. We can only die to self and live the life of Christ by having faith in Christ - trusting him. But the results of this salvation are manifest in our works. This is why we can be judged by our works even though were are saved from sin by faith. The investigative judgment reveals whether or not we have received the salvation from sin that Christ offers and thus whether or not we are safe for the society of heaven and everlasting life. If we show that we cherish one sin, we, like Adam, will be barred from the tree of life, but if we give up our own ways and live out Christ's way, we will be judged as righteous and will one day receive our inheritance as born-of-the-Spirit sons and daughters of God. Now, let's look at some passages that deal with these wonderful realities. Matthew 7:21-23 reads, 21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'" Matthew 7:21-23   It is clear from these verses that practicing the law is the critical prerequisite for entrance into the kingdom of heaven. Those who worship Jesus as "lord" but do not keep the commandments, according to Matthew 7, are not even known by Jesus.   In the verses just prior to this (Matt. 7:15-29), Jesus warned against false prophets. He likens the prophet, true or false, to a tree, and the teaching of the prophet, to fruit. Bad fruit is paralleled with teachings leading to lawlessness. True prophets, obviously, bear good fruit, that is, they teach of righteousness and the keeping of the law.   Unfortunately, most teachers today do not teach righteousness, but allow little loopholes for sin. Most fail to recognize that righteousness is an all or none thing. James 2:10 reads,   For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:10   So, while the law can't save us from sin, so long as we keep committing even one sin, we are guilty of breaking the whole law. But Jesus can save us from sin so we can keep the whole law. Ellen White wrote,   "The apostle Paul clearly presents the relation between faith and the law under the new covenant. He says, 'Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.' 'Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid; yea, we establish the law.' 'For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh,'—it could not justify man, because in his sinful nature he could not keep the law,—'God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.' Romans 5:1; 3:31; Romans 8:3, 4." Ellen White, RH October 17, 1907, par. 10.   Basically, we can become keepers of the law through faith in Jesus. Jesus will help us, through his teachings via the prophets, and by the example of his life, to be willing and able to live without sin (Jude 24). It is in this way that we are saved by grace, through faith. Jesus came in the likeness of sinful flesh, or, as a human, to condemn sin. In other words, he did the will of his father, as he wants us to do (Matthew 7:21), while in human flesh – proving to the unfallen worlds and to us as well - that humans can keep the law of God.   See our video, "Why Do So Many Of Us Still Struggle With Sin?" for a deeper study on how Jesus helps us overcome sin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4mwlYgS60o   If we think we have been saved by grace, through faith, and yet we continue to harbor sin in our hearts, we are deceived. And we are most likely deceived, at least in part, by the bad fruit being fed to us by the teachers we are listening to. If your pastor is not giving you good fruit - teachings that lead to a sinless life - he or she is intentionally or unintentionally misrepresenting the writings of Ellen White and the other inspired scriptures.   How devastating it would be to hear Jesus say to us, "Depart from me, I never knew you!" This is why He warned us about false teachers - so we will never have to hear those words. So, how do we become known by Jesus? Well, Jesus gives the answer in the very next verse. Let's take a look. Matthew 7:23-24 reads,   23 "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' 24 "Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:" Matthew 7:23-24 Jesus will know us when we listen to his teachings on keeping all the law – teachings on sinless living - and put them into practice! And this is how grace abounds. Paul, in Romans 5:20-21 wrote,   20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:20-21 Here we see that sin reigns in death, and grace reigns through righteousness to eternal life. Grace reigns through righteousness, not through sin. So, in closing, although the law does not save us, we must keep it - we are saved from sin to keep it. So, let's seek Christ in faith, and let him save us from our sins so that we can have the law of truth written in our hearts and manifested in our lives. Ellen said, "The 'new covenant' was established upon 'better promises,' —the promise of forgiveness of sins, and of the grace of God to renew the heart, and bring it into harmony with the principles of God's law. 'This shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts.... I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.' Jeremiah 31:33,34." Ellen White, RH October 17, 1907, par. 8 For more on this, see our study, "The Lost Gospel of Christ," by Trent Wilde. http://www.bdsda.com/home-3/the-lost-gospel-of-christ/

Youth Pastor Rene Sandoval brings this week's message, “Better Promises." Key Verse: Hebrews 8:1-13  “Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, not man. For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer. Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law; who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, “See,” He says, “that you make all things by the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.” But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, to the extent that He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant had been free of fault, no circumstances would have been sought for a second. For in finding fault with the people, He says, “Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, When I will bring about a new covenant With the house of Israel and the house of Judah, Not like the covenant which I made with their fathers On the day I took them by the hand To bring them out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in My covenant, And I did not care about them, says the Lord. For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel After those days, declares the Lord: I will put My laws into their minds, And write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, And they shall be My people. And they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen, And each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,' For they will all know Me, From the least to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings, And their sins I will no longer remember.” When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is about to disappear.”

TFJ: Series 1 Episode 24: Special Episode: The Birth of Israel   After the French Revolution there was a sense that the quest for liberty, egalitarianism and brotherhood were attainable, just like after the American revolution there was a sense that the pursuit of happiness was an attainable goal. Borders were changing, maybe even human nature was changing. Maybe, maybe there was even hope that a Jewish state could be restored.  To enlarge his empire and further secure his personal record in history, Napoleon traveled with his army to Egypt. And even though he was routed by the British in the Battle of the Nile, this did not dampen his visions of grandeur and he decided to invade Palestine. After some initial successful battles, basing himself on a sense of overconfidence and being undefeatable, he granted the Jews freedom to their own land and signed his proclamation from his headquarters in Jerusalem that he had not yet captured and never would.  He gave the Jews hope for their homeland, and then dashed it when it turned out to be a promise that he could never deliver. His second blow was even more devastating: in 1791 France declared all men to be equal, even Jews.  Napoleon and the French people, then had second thoughts. They had given the Jews equal rights too cheaply. For the Jews to be awarded the status of equality they would have to swear that they were Frenchman with loyalties exclusively to fellow Frenchmen, not fellow Jews, with no national aspirations for the Land of Israel. This affirmation was to be sanctioned by the Sanhedrin which had been defunct for 13 centuries.  Any observer viewing matters in 1807 would have concluded that the idea of Jews returning to the Land of Israel was over for good. History had the last laugh.  This episode is dedicated in memory of Yocheved Orbach by her family.    Edited and Produced by Alex Drucker  Learn more at TellerFromJerusalem.com  Don't forget to subscribe, like and share!

What the Hebrews author is suggesting regarding the new covenant in Christ is not all that new. Jeremiah anticipated a new covenant, rendering the covenant old. The New and Living Way | Episode 20 | Hebrews 8:7-13 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then would no place have been sought for a second. For finding fault with them, he saith, "Behold, the days come," saith the Lord, "that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded them not," saith the Lord. "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel After those days," saith the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, And on their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord': For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more. In that he saith, "A new covenant," he hath made the first old. But that which is becoming old and waxeth aged is nigh unto vanishing away.

In this session, we also look at what the Prophets tell us about the “Day of the Lord”. The Day of the Lord is associated with: *birth pangs/tribulation/afflictions (Isaiah 13:6-8) *the time known as Jacob’s trouble (Jer 30:6-7) *Gaza will be forsaken (Zeph. 2: 3-4, fulfilled August 2005) *the land of Israel will be divided (Joel 3:1-2, fulfilled, Dec 23, 2016) * Ephraim and Judah will return to Israel during the time of Jacob’s trouble. (Jer 30:3) * The Day of the Lord is a time of judgment upon the nations. (Jer. 30:11) *The nations are judged for afflicting Israel. *The ingathering of the exiles of Israel is linked with the fall of Babylon. (Jer. 50:3-4) * Yahweh’s people flee Babylon and return to Israel AFTER the sword has come to Babylon. (Jer 50: 16) * You are saved by repentance in the Day of the Lord. (Zeph 2:3) * Redemption is an act of mercy by the God of Israel for the purpose of sanctifying His name. (Psalm 102:13,16) * The exiles will be redeemed by the mighty hand and an outstretched arm of Yahweh .

Continuing the discussion from the previous talk, we go back to the Exodus story and look at how God first revealed Himself to the Children of Israel after freeing them from slavery.  A lot of people feel that we somehow diminish the other gifts of God- particularly, forgiveness of sins- if we “emphasize” miracles. Things like healing.  “Keep our eye on the main thing,” people caution. “And stay focused on the meat of the Word,” they warn, “instead of the superficialities.” Some of even argue that Satan wants to heal people in order to lead them astray. And, while we DO see examples in the Bible where false prophets can do false signs and wonders, the general thrust of Scripture is that God wants His children well. What good father wouldn’t? It makes sense, then, that the first way in which God revealed Himself to the Children of Israel AFTER being freed speaks to this very issue. This first revelation… well… it comes in the wilderness.  And it comes immediately after something that SEEMS to have nothing to do with the need for healing (see Exodus 15:26). The call here is for the Children of Israel to CHOOSE a life of health, of wellness, of walking in the path God outlines for them… Not to be driven by “rules” or “law,” but to see AND experience that there actually is a better way… One that is not riddled with disease. One in which we aren’t plagued by the consistent nuisances that most people simply learn to tolerate. One that allows us to be the most empowered version of ourselves so that we can do the amazing things set before us… our own version of the Promised Land.

Members of the vigil team from We Hold These Truths greeted messengers to the 2017 annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), held in Phoenix, Arizona. The vigilers were armed only with signs like "Choose Life, Not War," "Blessed Are The Peacemakers," "Where Are The Peacemakers?" and "No More Wars For Israel," and two fliers: "Choose Life Not War" and "Does The Bible Require Followers of Jesus to Support the Jewish State of Israel?" After over 200 vigils around the country, in terms of people engaged and fliers distributed, this vigil turned out to be one of our most effective ones, since we started them in Nov. 2002 at the First Southern Baptist Church of Scottsdale [AZ]. Listen to our report about the vigil and find out if we can argue a case for Divine Providence when we encountered Dr. Russell Moore, President of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the SBC, at the First Southern Baptist Church of Scottsdale, where he gave the sermon on the Sunday before the start of the annual meeting. We told Dr. Moore, after his excellent sermon, that we hope that the SBC becomes part of the turning as described in our award winning documentary, Christian Zionism: The Tragedy & The Turning, Part I. We told Dr. Moore that he had to watch our documentary to understand what we mean by the "turning". Hold onto your hats when listening to this 31 minute podcast.
