Zephaniah 2:4-5 For Gaza shall be deserted, and Ashkelon shall become a desolation; Ashdod’s people shall be driven out at noon, and Ekron shall be uprooted. Woe to you inhabitants of the seacoast, you nation of the Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; and I will destroy you until no inhabitant is left.

There are estimated to be over 300 miles of tunnels below the ground of the Gaza Strip. At the heart of the tunnel system is the Al Shifa Hospital.

The following is from Amir Tsarfati of Behold Israel on Telegram. https://t.me/beholdisraelchannel

Recent Situational Reports exchanged between the U.S. and Israel, obtained by our team, have provided unprecedented insights into the tunnel system beneath Gaza.

The IDF estimates there are 1,300 tunnels spanning 500 km beneath Gaza. The tunnel system has multiple levels.

Level One: Entry and launch locations inside buildings for personnel and rocket launches.

Level Two: Reinforced passageways for rocket transport and maneuvering

Level Three: Houses the Oxygen Generation and Air Movement system generator.

Level Four: Meeting and sleeping rooms for Hamas fighters

Level Five: Main Gaza Metro connecting city blocks/sections

Level Six: Storage for weapons, ammunition, and fuel, with doors always closed for safety

Level Seven: Additional storage and sleeping rooms

Level Eight: Command and Control Center for Hamas, connected via a hard landline, with a quick escape tunnel to the Gaza Metro for senior leaders’ evacuation

Ezekiel 25:15-17 Thus says the Lord God, “Because the Philistines have acted in revenge and have taken vengeance with scorn of soul to destroy with everlasting enmity,” therefore thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, even cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast. I will execute great vengeance on them with wrathful rebukes; and they will know that I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance on them.”

Sacrificial System REJECTED!!! Two Witnesses

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Sacrificial System with tags , , , , , on October 22, 2023 by paulthepoke

The framework for this series was from an article that was posted at https://allisrael.com/forgiveness-yom-kippur-and-the-messiah-s-atoning-sacrifice

Yehuda Frank is the author.

The premise of the article is that God rejected the Yom Kippur sacrifice the forty years preceding the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. Since the Temple is no more, the High Priest of Israel has been unable to enter the Holy of Holies and make the sacrifice on behalf of himself and the nation to this day.

We are approaching 2,000 years of God rejecting Israel’s Day of Atonement sacrifice.

Historically, who arrived on the scene 40 years prior to 70 A.D.? Well, that would be our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Now depending on the timeline one subscribes to, Jesus was sacrificed for sin in one of two likely dates, 30 A.D. or 33 A.D. In either case, His ministry and/or death were on the scene in 30 A.D. Israel rejected their Messiah. Jesus is the atonement for sin for all and for all time.

How do we know God rejected the sacrifice prior to the flattening of the Temple? What proof is there for 40 years of history prior to 70 A.D.? Scribes of the times observed some strange happenings taking place starting in 30 A.D.

Authors of the Talmud chronicled their observations from 30 to 70 A.D. The Talmud, meaning learning or study, is a Jewish book of teachings and commentaries regarding the law, theology, sayings, arguments and rebuttals.

Granted, these documents are not Biblical Canon but they are historical documents of events that took place. In the case of the Talmud, there are two witnesses.

Babylonian Talmud: “Our Rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple, the lot [‘for the Lord’] did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-colored strap become white; nor did the westernmost light shine; and the doors of the Hekal (Temple) would open by themselves” (The Soncino Talmud, tractate ‘Yoma,’ 39b).

Jerusalem Talmud: “Forty years before the destruction of the Temple, the western light went out, the crimson thread remained crimson, and the lot for the Lord always came up in the left hand. They would close the gates of the Temple by night and get up in the morning and find them wide open” (The Yerushalmi, translated by Jacob Neusner, p. 156f).

~

Why Two Witnesses?

Deuteronomy 19:15-21 A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed. If a malicious witness rises up against a man to accuse him of wrongdoing, then both the men who have the dispute shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges who will be in office in those days. The judges shall investigate thoroughly, and if the witness is a false witness and he has accused his brother falsely, then you shall do to him just as he had intended to do to his brother. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you. The rest will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such an evil thing among you. Thus you shall not show pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

The evidence presented is consistent. History agrees, the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D. The time frame of 40 years is noted. There are 4 points of agreement.

  1. The lot of the Lord was in the left hand.
  2. The crimson strap remained crimson.
  3. The western light was out.
  4. The doors of the Temple were open in the morning.

Per the Mosaic Law, the findings of the Babylonian Talmud and Jerusalem Talmud are established facts per two independent witnesses.

There is legal evidence, God has been rejecting Israel’s Yom Kippur sacrifice for a long time…

A Hospital, Hamas, & Media/Lebanon & Hezbollah/Iron Beam & Lasers/Lawless in Europe/Russia & China

Exodus 20:16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

And the main stream media wonders why some folks don’t find them credible. These are the same people who lecture the world about “fact checkers” and “truth”.

A couple of nights ago, the world was lead to believe that Israel had bombed a hospital in the Gaza Strip killing over 500 and destroying the hospital. The incident occurred in the dark of the night.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett took to X and posted some comments.

Then, the sun came up and shed some light on the situation.

Below is evidence presented by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) with time stamps and GPS coordinates. Outlines of the buildings and structures are provided as well.

Based on a Hamas communication, it would appear the incident is due to an Islamic Jihad misfired rocket.

Hamas, What Does it Mean?

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Gaza Strip/Philistia, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on October 13, 2023 by paulthepoke

What is the meaning of the word “hamas”? Well… that depends on who you ask.

I want to give a shout out to my cousin Lance who sent me a text regarding this topic.

Hamas or the Islamic Resistance Movement is a Sunni Muslim organization. The title is an acronym from an Arabic phrase.

The Arabic word “hamas” means: zeal, strength, bravery.

~

However, there is the Hebrew word “hamas“. Per lexicons and dictionaries in the Hebrew, “hamas” means violence. The word is translated as violence, wrong, or malicious in the Bible.

The first time “hamas” is used in the Bible is in Genesis before the flood.

Genesis 6:11 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence.

Genesis 6:13 And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

And with this initial recognition and observation, God’s response to humanity’s violence is to eliminate “hamas“. Humanity had defiled the earth or the land with violence. Note also, God’s original intent was to destroy the earth along with humanity. And He did with water.

~

Let’s take a look at what a prophet had to say about violence or “hamas“.

The context of Ezekiel 7 is judgment on the land of Israel. Judgment is being rendered against violence or “hamas“.

Ezekiel 7:11 Violence has grown up into a rod of wickedness. None of them shall remain, nor their abundance, nor their wealth; neither shall there be preeminence among them.

Ezekiel 7:23 Forge a chain! For the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence.

Ezekiel 7:25 When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there shall be none.

The tweet below is how Iranian leadership celebrates the events in the Holy Land.

Revelation 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

As of October 2023, current events do not place humanity in the seven year tribulation. Context of Revelation 20 is towards the end of the tribulation. It is not a stretch to see a future time when people are beheaded for their belief in Christ. Hamas and terrorists are willing to behead a group of people because they are infidels as they see it.

Burden of Damascus

Isaiah 17:1 The oracle concerning Damascus. “Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city and will become a fallen ruin.

Damascus is going to be wiped out. The Hebrew is interesting in the description. The grammar states it is going to be taken away and removed. One could state it will be a ruined ruin or a ruined heap!

Isaiah 17:9 In that day their strong cities will be like the deserted places of the wooded heights and the hilltops, which they deserted because of the children of Israel, and there will be desolation.

Jeremiah 49:27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.

The country of Syria has been in Civil War since the spring of 2011. Damascus is the oldest continually inhabited city on the planet. The city’s had residents and inhabitants for over 5,000 years.

Sacrificial System REJECTED!!! Introduction

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Sacrificial System with tags , , , , , , , , , , , on October 4, 2023 by paulthepoke

As the Fall Feasts are finishing, welcome to a new series… Sacrificial System REJECTED

Amos 5:21-24 “I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; and the peace offerings of your fattened animals, I will not look upon them. Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

Of note, the context of the verses above is “The Day of the Lord”. We are talking End Times and Israel’s future.

The name Amos means burden bearer. Amos was a shepherd from Tekoa, a small village a few miles south of Bethlehem and about 3 to 4 miles east of Ephratah. Who else do we know that was born near by and bears the burden of many?

Amos was sent to the Northern Kingdom of Israel to warn against oppressing the poor, self indulgence, and the obsession of luxurious and lavish living. Sound familiar?

Jerusalem, October 1, 2023: Yair Hanoch of Return to the Mount was arrested for attempting to bring a sheep to the Temple Mount for sacrifice.

“There is no more room for Muslim rule on the Temple Mount, the time has come to build a Jewish temple and renew the sacrificial works,” Return of the Mount Spokesman.

https://www.israel365news.com/376005/jewish-man-arrested-for-attempting-to-bring-sacrifice-to-temple/

~

Hebrews 10:11-14 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until His enemies should be made a footstool for His feet. For by a single offering He has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.

A common theme with members of the body of Christ is to proclaim sacrifices are no longer necessary. True! Read Hebrews 10 as well as many other chapters and verses! There is no more need for the sacrificial system. A major theme of the book of Hebrews is Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Mosaic Law sacrifices with His death and shedding of His blood on the cross at Calvary. Encouraging all to read the book of Hebrews.

Historically in the Old Testament, God frequently rejected sacrifices of the Jewish people. He did not want their sacrifices. Nation Israel was merely going through the process, a religious work. God does not want pomp and circumstance, He wants heart, conviction, and dedication to Him and His word.

Isaiah 66:3 Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck; whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood; whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol. Indeed, they have chosen their own ways and delighted in their abominations.

Jeremiah 6:20 What use to Me is frankincense from Sheba or sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please Me.”

Jeremiah 7:21 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves!

As we move forward in this series, to this very day in the 21st century, we have no idea to what extent God has rejected nation Israel and their sacrifices…
