Galatians 2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

“I just want to end it. If I can save seven thousand people a week from getting killed, that’s pretty good. I want to get to heaven if possible. I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I hear I’m at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” -President Trump

Touting peace credentials before the LORD is not going to help your eternal heavenly cause…

Romans 3:27-28 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

One cannot work or earn their way to Heaven no matter what one does. This has always been the plan before creation. There is no act or deed we can do to merit eternal life.

2 Timothy 1:9 He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.

Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.

One’s great deeds will not get them into Heaven and eternal life with God.

See also Titus 3:5, Romans 4:4-5, Romans 11:6, Philippians 3:9, Romans 3:20, Galatians 5:4, 1 Corinthians 1:29-31, Romans 9:11-12, John 6:28-29, Isaiah 64:6, Jeremiah 9:23-24, Romans 4:2.

I don’t know what President Trump ultimately believes. Does he believe in Jesus’ work on the cross and His payment of sin for his personal salvation? That is between the Donald and our Creator.

Can God use a non believer to achieve His will? Yes, See Cyrus and Nebuchadnezzar as well as others.

Did God spare Donald Trump’s life from a bullet in Pennsylvania?

Encouraging President Trump’s spiritual advisors to have a sincere discussion with him. His current advisors include Paula White-Cain, Jennifer Korn, and Jackson Lane.

Paula White-Cain is his lead advisor. Count me suspicious of the President getting wise counsel with her history of pedaling the Prosperity Gospel on TV.

Prosperity gospel preachers teach their followers that the way to gain riches is to give more money to the kingdom, especially by giving to their churches and ministries. The quantity of material and financial prosperity one expects to gain is in proportion to what one gives.

https://learn.ligonier.org/articles/field-guide-on-false-teaching-prosperity-gospel

Material wealth, health, and happiness are the will of God and can be obtained through faith and positive thinking. The Prosperity Gospel assumes that material prosperity is a proof of God’s grace.

Preach this line of thinking to persecuted believers, brothers, and sisters in Christ in places like Rwanda, China, or Iran.

The Prosperity Gospel is a cruel lie.

Genesis 15:18-21 On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I have given this land, From the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates: the Kenite and the Kenizzite and the Kadmonite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Rephaim and the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Girgashite and the Jebusite.”

These are the ultimate borders of nation Israel per God. They have yet to be realized.

This calls for the geography of Israel to stretch from the Nile River in Egypt to Euphrates River in the east. One could argue rather this implies the Arabian Peninsula or not.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently made waves on a TV interview with i24 News.

In the newly published interview he said he is on a “historic and spiritual mission” and expressed strong attachment to the vision of a Greater Israel, which is a longtime reference to Israel encompassing parts of Jordan, Egypt and Syria – along with the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.

It would appear the Ayatollah Khamenei in Iran is paying attention.

Isaiah 2:2 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it.

This is from Middle East Eye, an Arab publication that is sympathetic to Islam. The tide has turned. They know the Third Jewish Temple is coming.

~

1 Thessalonians 5:3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Peace and security are hard work, just ask Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.

Quakes in various places… -Jesus

Tisha B`Av/9th of Av, 5784/2024, Talking Red Heifer & Third Holy Temple

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Sanhedrin, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , , on August 10, 2024 by paulthepoke

Exodus 25:8 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.

Tisha b’Av:  to the Jew, this is a date, the 9th of the Hebrew month Av. It is the 11th month of the civil calendar or the 5th month of the religious calendar. The month is not named in the Bible. Av usually occurs during July or August on the Gregorian calendar.

This year, the 9th of Av begins at sunset on Monday, August 12, 2024 on our western Gregorian calendar.

The Temple Institute in Jerusalem continues to look forward to the construction of the 3rd Holy Temple on the 9th of Av…

Temple Institute…

The three weeks of mourning which stretch from the fast of the 17th of Tammuz to the fast of the 9th of Av may be a time for some people to look backward and dream about the Holy Temple that was. Not so for the people that make up the Temple Institute. The Temple Institute is forever looking forward and working tirelessly to educate Israel and the world about the importance of the Holy Temple in our future, while always training and preparing in every way possible for the rebuilding of the Holy Temple and the renewal of the Divine service, soon, and in our days!

The Temple Institute is talking about the red heifers, Temple service, priestly garments, the Levitical choir, Yeshiva, Law study, Holy Temple study.

And lastly… Build the Temple!

http://www.templeinstitute.org/

The 9th of Av is a day of mourning in Israel. Tragedy came about because of the account of Numbers 13-14. This event occurred immediately after God had delivered Israel out of bondage in Egypt. The short story is the Lord told Moses to send a group of spies to go scout the Promised Land. The spies came back and proclaimed the Jews could not take the land because of the inhabitants of the land were too big and too strong. The people rebelled against Moses. The people stated they would rather go back to Egypt. The nation (except Caleb and Joshua) did not believe God to give them the Promised Land. We know it occurred during the grape harvest per the text (Numbers 13:20). This event is said to have occurred on the 9th of Av. God pronounced judgment on the nation at that time. And this date is said to be a reminder of nation Israel’s lack of faith in God.

Here is a list of Jewish history on the 9th of Av.

  1. 586 BC, the first Temple was destroyed.
  2. 70 AD, the second Temple was destroyed.
  3. 135 AD, Betar fell. It was the last fortress to hold out against the Romans during the Bar Kochba revolt.
  4. 136 AD, one year after the fall of Betar, the Temple area was plowed.
  5. 1290 AD, Jews were expelled from England.
  6. 1492 AD, King Ferdinand of Spain issued the expulsion decree, setting Tisha B’Av as the final date by which not a single Jew would be allowed to walk on Spanish soil.
  7. 1914 AD, World War I began the downward slide to the Holocaust.
  8. 2005 AD, Israel turns over the Gaza Strip.

And…

Jesus prophesied there would be a third temple. There has to be a third temple. The antichrist will stand there and declare himself to be God.

Mark 13:14 “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…” -Jesus

Tisha B`Av/9th of Av, 5783/2023

Posted in #PaulthePoke, Prophecy, Trend Update with tags , , , , , , , , on July 23, 2023 by paulthepoke

Tisha B`Av or the 9th of Av…

Av is a Hebrew month. It is the 11th month of the civil calendar or the 5th month of the religious calendar. It usually occurs during July or August on the Gregorian calendar. This year, the 9th of Av is observed on sundown of Wednesday, July 27th and ends at sundown on Thursday, July 28th, 5783/2023. The month of Av is not named in the Bible.

Historically, the date has resulted in heartache for the Jewish people. Here is a list of Jewish history on the 9th of Av/Tisha B `Av.

  1. 586 BC, the first Temple was destroyed.
  2. 70 AD, the second Temple was destroyed.
  3. 135 AD, Betar fell. It was the last fortress to hold out against the Romans during the Bar Kochba revolt.
  4. 136 AD, one year after the fall of Betar, the Temple area was plowed.
  5. 1290 AD, Jews were expelled from England.
  6. 1492 AD, King Ferdinand of Spain issued the expulsion decree, setting Tisha B’Av as the final date by which not a single Jew would be allowed to walk on Spanish soil.
  7. 1914 AD, World War I began the downward slide to the Holocaust.
  8. 2005 AD, Israel turns over the Gaza Strip.

The 9th of Av

Every time there is talk of the third temple, there is a population of believers in Jesus Christ who accurately point out that believers in Christ are the temple. There are multiple verses that support this truth. Yes, this is true. Settled.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

See also 1 Corinthians 6:15-20, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, Ephesians 2:19-22, 1 Peter 2:5.

And…

Jesus prophesied there would be a third temple. The antichrist will stand there and declare himself to be God.

Mark 13:14 “So when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains…” -Jesus

See also Matthew 24:15-25, Luke 21:20-24.

~

Currently, there are five red heifers under observation. The sacrifice of a red heifer is coming.

And…

Also correct, there is no more need for the sacrificial system. Jesus is the sacrifice for sin once and for all.

Hebrews 9:11-14 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things having come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hands, that is, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all time having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

The third temple will be built. The Word of God, the Logos, the HaShem says.

And…

Hebrews 9:28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

Trend Update: Jewish Temple/Dome of the Rock, Side by Side, June 2016

Posted in Prophecy, Temple, Trend Update with tags , , , , on June 26, 2016 by paulthepoke

Amos 9:11 In that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David, and wall up its breaches; I will also raise up its ruins and rebuild it as in the days of old;

Political support continues to grow for the building of the third Jewish Temple. It is believed that the two structures, the Dome of the Rock and the Jewish Temple, can be built side by side on the Temple Mount.

Israeli Chief Rabbi David Lau believes there is room for everybody to worship on the Temple Mount. Rabbi Lau has changed his tune on the topic. Previously in October 2015, he was opposed and believed in preventing Jews on the Temple Mount.

Included in the link below is an interview with Rabbi Law. He expresses his views on the topic.

The pro Temple movement continues to grow within the Israeli government.
