The Land of Israel: Imminent Scenario - By Dr. David R. Reagan

Image
What is likely to happen next in the land of Israel?   Here is the most likely scenario that I can foresee at the moment. Hamas, the fundamentalist Arab terrorist organization funded by Iran, will take complete control over the Palestinian autonomous areas. Hamas will then unleash a renewed reign of terror on Israel, continuing their lobbing of rockets from Gaza and Jericho to back up their demand for control of Jerusalem.   Abbas will orchestrate world pressure on Israel through the United Nations and the Vatican. In September of this year he will likely proclaim a Palestinian state and then demand that Jerusalem be "liberated" or internationalized.   Since even the most liberal Israelis take the position that Jerusalem is non-negotiable, the pressure will mount toward an inevitable conflict. If Hamas does not unleash the rockets first, then Abbas will ultimately return to the method he knows best — terror.   This will prompt an Israeli counter attack, which, in ...

The Way Of Cain

This Week’s Feature Article by Jack Kelley  Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.” (Genesis 4:2-7)  From the Scriptures it appears that Cain knew how to bring an acceptable offering to the Lord. This is one of the clues that leads me to believe the Lord introduced a form of what would become the Levitical System right after the fall. There had to be a way for His earliest children to set aside their sins u...

5 Church Members Who are Practicing Atheists

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom Recently, we said in an article on this website that the problem with "preacher-eaters and trouble-makers" in the church is that they do not believe in God. I stand by that statement, although it requires a little clarification. Theoretically, they do. Those members who are determined to have their way regardless of the cost to the fellowship of the church, the unity of the congregation, the continuance of the pastor's ministry, or the sacrifice of programs of the church are not without religious convictions. They have even had religious experiences. The problem is they are now living godless existences. Their work in the church is being conducted  in the flesh  and for their own purposes. The shame of it is they are almost always unaware of these conditions. They have fallen into a shameless pattern of seeing nothing but what is in their own field of vision, of wanting only what they see as important, and advocating noth...

Counterfeit Gospel - False Gospel

Image
Could you recognize a counterfeit gospel?    http://1stopclickandshop.com < -- Jesus, Son Of God See Note Ra, The sun god-- > If only it was that simple! What is the cost of not identifying it? Could you explain the true gospel?  If you cannot answer to these questions, you are more likely not saved or you are not wearing the armor of God which make you very vulnerable to be deceived, Ephesians 6:11!  Not wearing the armor of God is compare to not protecting your computer with anti-virus software, Romans 13:12, Ephesians 6:11-13. There is one thing a merchant does not want? It is a counterfeit bill. When depositing the end of the day earning, the bank teller goes through the bills, and if one bill is found to be a counterfeit, it is worthless, and is deducted from the merchant profit. For this reason a merchant instructs their cashier to verify a suspect fraudulent bill by comparing it with a genuine bill.  Some merchants ev...
