BLINKERED

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets could only proceed

from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent powerful Being.

Sir Isaac Newton

1642 - 1727

How on earth could anyone think differently, but they do, especially those who consider themselves superior in intelligence to other mere mortals.   

I remember well a time when I was caught up in a debate regarding scripture that had sent the opposition into damning condemnation.   "How dare you suggest that just may be the meaning of one particular part of the old testament had perhaps been "lost in translation" the King James Bible was the Word of God, end of.   

Thankfully I was sent a C.D by "Sound Doctrine for the Remnant"  of a Jacob Prasch lecture and the accusation levelled at me was dead in the water.   Jacob's teaching on the correct translation of Psalm 23 is available on You Tube.    He also teaches that to truly interpret scripture you first had to understand the mindset of the Jewish people who always answered a question with another question, and how Yeshua (Jesus) often spoke in hyperboles to get His point across. 

As a young child I doubt I understood much other than the basic stories allowed in the doctrine of my parents' denomination.   Samson and Delilah, Joseph and his coat of many colours etc.    Which leads me nicely into the book of Daniel.

If you haven't actually watched the D.V.D. the Daniel Project which is a study on bible prophecy now is a good time to get on board.  It is a great presentation by Jacob Prasch and Jeremy Hitchen explaining how many of the prophecies written over 2,500 years ago by Isaiah, Ezekiel etc., have already come true and we are hurtling towards the precipice, the clock is ticking.

Studio Scotland have recently completed a full length feature film "The Daniel Connection" based loosely on that documentary.    The World Premiere will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland on the 22nd November.   Tickets £12.50.   Available from premier@studio scotland.com.

The film has been acquired by USA film distributor California Pictures Inc at Paramount Studios in Hollywood and will be released early 2015.

A commercial D.V.D. will also be released both by California Pictures after October 2015 and Studio Scotland hope to produce their own version around the same time.

Perhaps the end goal is to get people who appear drawn to apocalyptic gloom and doom movies to realise that what is happening globally was foretold by the ancient prophets in the Hebrew scriptures.

Matthew 24 is the countdown to the end, but of course the children of apostasy appear not only to be twisting scripture but re-inventing Yeshua HaMashiach into their own version of Christ marching towards one world religion.    

The hideous face of anti.semitism is rising again and now more than ever it is important to understand that when Christ returns it will be to His people - and the Mount of Olives.

  ACTS 1 - 9-11

  Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched,

He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of sight.

And while they look steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men

stood by them in white apparel,

who also said "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven?

This same Jesus , who was taken up from you in heaven,

will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.

Enthusiasts of the Daniel project will know Jerusalem sits on the Syrian East African Rift fault line which has small earthquakes from time to time.   

Zechariah 14 - 4

And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives

Which faces Jerusalem on the east, 

And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two,

From east to west,

Making a very large valley.

Perhaps the commercial production will succeed in getting the message across that the old testament scriptures are historical documents written by the ancient prophets who spoke with deadly accuracy of future world events and prayerfully many will realise their judeo christian roots and others turn back to the God they deny.

Sir Isaac Newton was quite prophetic when he wrote:

About the times of the End, a body of men will be raised up who will turn

their attention to prophecies, and insist on their literal interpretation,

in the midst of much clamour and opposition.

Some years ago I attended a small free church in the local town.   In that fellowship I met a man who was an advocate for Christian Friends of Israel.    He would offer to drive me home after the late evening service and on dark wet evenings I was more than happy to accept.

His birthday was approaching and as a small gesture of appreciation I sent for the music C.D.  "Road to Jerusalem" a selection of messianic praise and worship songs.    Perhaps it was not the acceptable thing to actually play a C.D. before giving it as a gift but I concerned as to whether it would be acceptable.

Something in that C.D. stirred my blood.  The music, singers and musicians were simply amazing and  my love of Jewish music was birthed.   Only then did I fully realise that the Jesus I followed was a Jewish Rabbi who was totally misrepresented in my early religious education with images of a very european Jesus, spotless nativity scenes and little sign of fladulation or mutilation on the crucified body of the Christ.   

I eagerly ordered more copies and distributed them amongst friends and family and the enthusiasm spread like a virus.   The beautiful simplicity of Kadosh sung by Susana Allen became just one of the many songs I would eagerly learn.  Bill McCartney comments at the end of the C.D.   "May this music that you have heard stir your heart and challenge you to get involved."    Well God's blessing was certainly on that C.D. and the blessing remains on all those who received and accepted its message.

When I finally toured Jerusalem in 2008 visiting the albeit commercial but nevertheless historical sites it  was a blessing I will never forget.    Perhaps the highlight was the trip on the sea of Galilee, the water so clear we could see the fish swimming around the sides of the boat.    

Jacob Prasch teaches Jesus came to fulfill the Torah and unlike many evangelists and preachers in the modern church he is adamant that we don't look to himself or any other preacher but to the scriptures.   The Truth will certainly set you free.
     
Sir Isaac Newton put it so simply.

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach,

white vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

The remnant watch and wait as prophecy unfolds - their destination assured.

Those who choose to dance to the music of this world confident that their thoughts, words and deeds are not seen will tremble in fear.

The darkness is increasing, mass panic will ensue if Ebola spreads to their comfortable corner of the world.   How will they face the prospect of their death without the hope of a saviour.

Matthew 24 - 38
For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and given in marriage, until the day came Noah entered the ark.
