Jesus in the Talmud - Polish

April 3, 2025

Scripture:

Many Christians who love Israel and who have a heart for the Jewish people confuse loving the people of Israel with loving the religion of the Rabbis that is now called Judaism.

"Sluchajcie Slowa Pana wy, ktorzy z drzeniem odnosicie sie do Jego Slowa: Powiedzieli wasi bracia, ktorzy was nienawidza, ktorzy wypedzaja was z powodu mojego imienia, mowiac: Niech Pan objawi swoja chwale, abysmy mogli ogladac wasza radosc. Lecz oni beda zawstydzeni." (Izajasza 66:5)

Kiedy bracia was nienawidza i wypedzaja was z powodu imienia Pana, wowczas zycie wasze staje sie trudne.

Najgorza ZWojen

Ksiega Sedziow opisuje wojny. Zydzi walcza z Amalekitami, Kanaanejczykami, Filistynami. Ksiega ta podaje dokladne statystyki tego ilu zostalo zabitych, ilu zostalo wzietych do niewoli.

Najgorsza z tych wojen byla ostatnia wojna opisana w Ksiedze Sedziow. Ta najgorsza i najbardziej krwawa z wojen nie byla przeciwko Amalekitom, Kanaanejczykom czy Filistynom, lecz angazowala Zydow walczacych z Zydami.

Co powodowalo najwieksza konsternacje u Pawla? Czy to, ze byl ciagniety przed wladze Rzymian, biczowany w synagodze, atakowany przez motloch w Efezie? Przeczytajcie jego listy, a zobaczycie, ze te rzeczy nie przynosily mu najwiekszego smutku.

Przesladowanie nie bylo tym co by go zalamywalo. Byli to raczej falszywi bracia, falszywi nauczyciele oraz falszywi prorocy, probujacy uwodzic koscioly, ktore Pawel zasadzal.

Ja nie lekam sie , zeby stawiac opor przeciwko Wolnej Masonerii, czy Rzymowi, lub Rabinom Ortodoksyjnym, lub Islamowi, lub Nowemu Wiekowi, lub homoseksualistom. Rodzaj wojny, ktorej pragnalbym uniknac, to ta, w ktorej zmuszony jest czlowiek walczyc przeciwko wlasnym braciom.

W tej ostatniej wojnie opisanej w Ksiedze Sedziow nie mieli oni wyboru. Cialo niewiasty pociete zostalo na kawalki i zostalo podzielone. Cialo Chrystusa w swiecie Zachodnim zostaje dzisiaj rabane na kawalki i dzielone. Nie mamy wyboru jak tylko podniesc miecz, bo owo cialo rabane jest na smierc.

Falszywi Nauczyciele, Falszywiprorocy

E. W. Kenyon byl patriarcha doktryny, ktora dzisiaj jest nauczana, ze "Jezus umarl duchowo". Powiedzial on, ze Pan Jezus nie odniosl zwyciestwa na krzyzu . Pan Jezus powiedzial "wykonalo sie", ale zgodnie z tym co mowi Kenyon, to nie bylo zwyciestwem. Pan Jezus umarl i powstal z martwych, lecz Kenyon uczy, ze Pan Jezus wstepujac do piekiel stal sie tej samej natury co Szatan. "Jezus narodzil sie na nowo w piekle" ‐ to jest 'ewangelia' gloszona przez Frederick'a K. Price, Keneth'a Copeland, Keneth'a Hagin i Benny Hinn. Wierza oni, ze Pan Jezus umarl na krzyzu, ale zwyciestwo nad grzechem i smiercia nie bylo osiagniete na krzyzu.

Cialo jest rabane na smierc. "Nie musisz cierpiec, Bog chce, zebys byl bogaty ". Sam fakt, ze zyjesz w demokracji Zachodniej czyni cie zamoznym. Jestes w daleko lepszej sytuacji, niz conajmniej dwie trzecie ludzi na swiecie. Cialo jest rabane na smierc przez ewangelie mamony, ktora nazywa sie "Bogactwem Przez Wiare" (Faith Prosperity).

"A ci, ktorzy chca byc bogaci, wpadaja w pokuszenie i w sidla, i w liczne bezsensowne i szkodliwe pozadliwosci, ktore pograzaja ludzi w zgube i zatracenie. Albowiem korzeniem wszelkiego zla jest milosc pieniedzy; niektorzy, ulegajac jej, zboczyli z drogi wiary i uwiklali sie sami w przerozne cierpienia". (1 Tym.6:9,10)

List do Hebrajczykow 11, 'rozdzial wiary' mowi wiecej o wierze, niz cala pozostala czesc Nowego Testamentu razem wzieta.

Rozdzial ten nie wspomina ani razu o pieniadzach, lecz nawiazuje tylko do zamoznosci oraz tych, ktorzy mogli ja osiagnac, lecz zrezygnowali z niej dla Krolestwa. (Hebrajczykow 11:26)

Cialo jest rabane na smierc. Strasznie, kiedy musisz podniesc swoj miecz przeciw wlasnemu bratu.

Dluga Wojna

"Wojna miedzy domem Saula i miedzy domem Dawida przeciagala sie, lecz Dawid wzrastal w sily, natomiast dom Saula slabnal" (2 Samuela 3:1)

Dawid i Saul mieli tych samych wrogow, Kanaanitow i Filistynow, ktorzy napadali na kraj. Wrog zwyciezal, poniewaz przywodcy Izraela byli bardzo skorumpowani. Dawid nie mogl nic w tej sytuacji uczynic, az do czasu gdy przywodztwo zostaloby zmienione. Dawid nie mogl zmienic przywodztwa, poniewaz Saul byl namaszczonym przez Boga. Utknal on w sytuacji, gdzie zepsucie przewazalo, a lud Bozy odnosil porazki; tak samo jak to dzieje sie dzisiaj.

Lud Bozy ponosi porazki, a wojna pomiedzy wzrastajacym domem Dawida i upadajacym domem Saula sie przeciaga.

Wierzac Klamstwu

Jezeli chcesz, pozwolisz laskotac uszy swoje Zachodnim konsumeryzmem i tak zwanym 'blab‐it‐and‐grab‐ it', bo przeciez tym wlasnie jest 'ewangelia sukcesu' (prosperity gospel) oraz ludzie, ktorzy chca zredefiniowac Biblie w swietle owego Zachodniego konsumeryzmu. Ludzie, ktorzy przyjmuja te bledy, czynia to poniewaz chca oni wierzyc klamstwu.

".poniewaz nie przyjeli milosci prawdy, ktora mogla ich zbawic. I dlatego zsyla Bog na nich ostry obled, tak iz wierza klamstwu." (2 Tesaloniczan 2:10‐11). Lecz jest jeszcze cos bardziej trudnego i bardziej bolesnego niz to.

Tragedia Jonatana

Wszyscy znamy historie krola Dawida oraz jak Saul nienawidzil go oraz probowal go zabic. Jednym wystajacym punktem byl Jonatan. Jonatan Kochal Dawida. Jonatan wiedzial, ze Saul stal sie

skorumpowany i ze utracil powolanie i blogoslawienstwo Boze. Jonatan wiedzial, ze jego ojciec nie byl dobrym. Wiedzial on, ze dom Saula byl pod przeklenstwem Bozym. Wiedzial on, ze Dawid mial racje. Wiedzial on, ze Dawid byl niewinna ofiara, i ze byl przesladowany bez przyczyny. Jonatan wiedzial, ze Dawid byl wybrancem Bozym. On wiedzial to wszystko, lecz byl zbyt mocno zlaczony z domem Saula, zeby zdobyc sie na rozlam. Dawid jest zawsze symbolem Jezusa. Pan Jezus powiedzial, "Ten, ktory kocha ojca lub matke bardziej niz Mnie, nie jest Mnie godzien". (Mateusza 10:37). Jest to aluzja do sytuacji, w ktorej byl Jonatan.

Czy jestes czlonkiem domu Dawida, czy domu Saula? Zeby byc czlonkiem domu Saula, nie wymaga to zebys sam wierzyl falszywym doktrynom. Wystarcza, ze jestes oddany ustalonym strukturom, kosciolom i denominacjom, ktore weszly w ta bledna nauke. Czy twoja denominacja wazniejsza jest dla ciebie niz to co mowi Pan Bog?

Rozpoczynajac W Duchu

"Potem wzial Samuel dzbanek z olejkiem i wylal na jego glowe, pocalowal go i rzekl: ‐ Namscil cie Pan na ksiecia nad swoim dziedzictwem". (1 Sam. 10:1) Pamietajmy, ze rozmaite plyny przedstawiaja Ducha Swietego w rozmaitych aspektach. W tym przypadku jest to olejek, ktory mowi o namaszczeniu.

Duch Swiety rzeczywiscie zostal wylany na dom Saula. To jest autentyczne, ale jezeli cokolwiek konczy sie w ciele, wowczas nie ma znaczenia, ze rozpoczelo sie to w Duchu, lub ze zawsze trwalo to w klamstwie.

Nie watpie nawet przez sekunde, ze trzydziesci lat temu nastapilo autentyczne wylanie Ducha Bozego. Wiem, ze bylo to autentyczne, ale rowniez tak samo wiem, ze wszystko to przeszlo w cielesne juz dawno temu. Kazdy ruch charyzmatyczny w historii kosciola zakonczyl sie w ten sam sposob. Montanisci ‐ teologia eksperymentalna. Anabaptysci z Muenster i wczesni Zielonoswiatkowcy ‐ zwariowane doktryny. Kwakszy (Quakers) ‐ wewnetrzne swiatlo.

Zawsze jest tylko Duch i Prawda. Lecz oni mowia, "Daj nam Ducha, my nie chcemy Prawdy ". Slowo Boze wyraznie mowi nam czym jest cialo, a czym jest Duch.

Konczac W Ciele

  • Poniewaz nie usluchales glosu Panskiego i nie wywarles zapalczywego gniewu na Amaleku, dlatego uczynil ci to Pan w dniu dzisiejszym. Nadto wyda Pan Izraela wraz z toba w rece Filistynczykow i jutro bedziesz ty i twoi synowie ze mna. Rowniez i oboz izraelski wyda Pan w rece Filistynczykow". (1 Samuela 28:18‐19)
  • Saul utracil swe namaszczenie. Rozpoczal on z powolaniem, z namaszczeniem, lecz Pan Bog odrzucil go.
  • Idz, Zabij Amaleka
  • I rzekl Samuel do Saula: Mnie poslal Pan, abym cie namascil na krola nad Jego ludem, nad Izraelem, wiec teraz sluchaj slow Panskich.

Tak mowi Pan Zastepow: Chce pomscic to co uczynil Amalek Izraelowi, stajac mu na drodze, gdy wychodzil z Egiptu.

Idz wiec teraz i pobij Amaleka, i wytep jako oblozonego klatwa jego i wszystko, co do niego nalezy; nie lituj sie nad nim, ale wytrac mezczyzne i kobiete, dziecie i niemowle, wolu i owce, wielblada i osla". (1 Sam.15:1‐3)

Lecz Saul nie uczynil tego.

" Lecz Saul i jego lud oszczedzil Agaga i to, co bylo najlepsze wsrod owiec i bydla, najtlustsze okazy i jagnieta i wszystko co bylo wartosciowe nie chcieli przeznaczyc na zniszczenie, zniszczyl natomiast dobytek lichy i marny.

I doszlo do Samuela slowo Pana tej tresci: Zaluje, ze Saula posadzilem na krolestwie, gdyz odwrocil sie ode mnie i slowa mojego nie wykonal. Samuela ogarnal gniew i wolal do Pana przez cala noc". (1 Samuela 15:9‐11)

Staradawny Wrog

Amalek, ktory nazywany byl rowniez Agag, byl starodawnym wrogiem. Wrogosc jego siega jeszcze dni Mojzesza: Wyplywa ona na powierzchnie w osobie Hamana, potomka Agaga w Ksiedze Estery.

Wrogosc ta przetrwala przez stulecia, az do niewoli Babilonskiej. Starodawny wrog pozostaje wrogiem. On sie nie zmienia. Saulowi powiedziano to samo co powiedziano Mojzeszowi i Jozuemu:‐ To sa twoi odwieczni wrogowie, pozbadz sie ich. Kim sa nasi starodawni wrogowie? W Nowym Testamencie czytamy, ze nie walczymy przeciwko cialu i krwi. Jako Chrzescijanie, mamy milowac naszych wrogow. Jest ogromna roznica pomiedzy milowaniem ludzi, ktorzy zaplatani sa w falszywej religii, a milowaniem tej falszywej religii. My powinnismy nienawidziec balwochwalstwa, grzechu i zabobonow. Ja nienawidze Rzymsko Katolicyzmu, poniewaz prowadzi on miliony ludzi do piekla.

Saul probowal zachowac te czesci, ktore on uznal za mozliwe do akceptowania. Saul probowal zawrzec pokoj z odwiecznym wrogiem. Kiedy bedziesz chcial zawrzec pokoj ze swym odwiecznym wrogiem, wowczas ow odwieczny wrog powroci i pozre ciebie, tak samo jak chcial to uczynic w Ksiedze Estery.

Mozemy spojzec na historie i zobaczyc, ze wiecej Chrzescijan wierzacych w Biblie zostalo wymordowanych przez Rzym Papieski, anizeli przez Rzym Cesarski, czyli poganski.

John Bunyan nazywa go "Dwuglowym Wielkoludem" ‐ jedna z glow to Poganin, a druga to Papiez!

Powiesz moze, "Te rzeczy dzialy sie piecset lat temu, albo tysiac szescset lat temu, lecz teraz w XX wieku takie rzeczy by sie nie wydarzyly! "

Hitler, Himler i Goebels byli rowniez Katolikami, a wiekszosc z doradcow Hitlera wyksztalconych bylo w szkolach Jezuitow.

Franz Von Papen, vice kanclerz Hitlera oraz osobisty dygnitarz wyslany do Papieza Piusa XII powiedzial, ‐ "Trzecia Rzesza byla pierwsza potega na swiecie, ktora nie tylko uznawala, lecz rowniez wprowadzala w praktyce wysokie zasady Papiestwa Rzymskiego".

Joahim Von Ribbentropp, doradca Hitlera do spraw zagranicznych oraz posel do Papieza powiedzial,‐ "Adolf Hitler jest poslem Bozym".

Niektorzy wierza, ze oni nie zrobili by czegos takiego w XX wieku. Saul myslal, ze Agag nie zrobilby tego co zrobil za dni Mojzesza. Estera tez nie myslala, ze Haman byl zdolny do zrobienia czegos takiego.

Kosciol Rzymsko Katolicki potepia tych, ktorzy mowia, ze Kosciol nie powinien uzywac przemocy. Istnieja fotografie zakonnic maszerujacych z oficerami Gestapo, w celu zabrania zydowskich dzieci na zabicie.

Prosta, podstawowa zasada konstytucjonalna Rzymskiego Katolicyzmu jest zawsze ta sama. Rzym sie nie zmienil. Agag sie nie zmienil.

Wyjdzcie Z Niego, Ludo Moj

Pierwszym Bledem Ruchu Charyzmatycznego byla teologia eksperymentalna. Drugim bledem byla niezdolnosc wypedzenia wrogow Bozych. Kiedy odnowa charyzmatyczna wystapila w Kosciele Rzymskim, Duch Swiety nawolywal, zeby lud Bozy wyszedl z falszywej religii.

"Biada, biada! Uciekajcie z Kraju Polnocy ‐ mowi Pan, gdyz rozproszylem was na cztery strony swiata ‐

mowi Pan.

Biada! Chroncie sie na Syjonie, ktorzy jeszcze mieszkacie u corki babilonskiej. (Ksiega Zachariasza 2:10‐ 11)

"I Uslyszalem inny glos z nieba mowiacy: Wyjdzcie z niego, ludu moj, abyscie nie byli uczestnikami jego grzechow i aby was nie dosiegnely plagi na niego spadajace, gdyz az do nieba dosiegly grzechy jego i wspomnial Bog na jego nieprawosci". (Objawienie Sw. Jana 18:4‐5)

Nie mowi ten tekst, ze nie sa oni ludem Bozym. Bedac jednak Jego ludem i pozostajac w kosciele, ktory naucza, ze bedziesz gorzal w ogniu czyscca za swoje grzechy, podczas gdy Pismo Swiete uczy, ze krew Pana Jezusa oczyszcza nas od wszelkiego grzechu, ‐ jest grzechem.

Hebrajskie slowo na 'oddawanie holdu' jest tym samym slowem, ktore oznacza klekac, lezec plazem. Modlitwa do umarlych i klekanie przed figurkami (czyli praktykowanie balwochwalstwa) sa grzechem. Modlitwa do umarlych jest kontaktowaniem sie z duchami. To jest grzech. Nie mozna praktykowac Rzymsko Katolicyzmu, zeby nie grzeszyc. Modlitwa do umarlych jest grzechem. Balwochwalstwo ‐ oddawanie holdu Maryi, calowanie figur ‐ to jest grzech. Kosciol Rzymsko Katolicki mordowal prawdziwych Chrzescijan i gdyby dac mu szanse, to znowu czynilby to samo. Babilon nie moze byc uleczony.

Wymyslanie Doktryny

Drugim bledem Saula byl fakt, ze nie zwrocil sie on do Slowa Bozego. Tora wyraznie pokazywala w jaki sposob pozbyc sie Amaleka. Saul jednak wymyslil swa wlasna doktryne i swoj wlasny przepis jej praktykowania. W rezultacie tego, Saul utracil swe powolanie i namaszczenie.

Ruch Charyzmatyczny uczynil dokladnie to samo. Nie zwrocili sie oni do Slowa Bozego, lecz wymyslili swa wlasna doktryne i przepis jej praktykowania. Trzydziesci lat temu, Ruch Charyzmatyczny zaczal wystepowac w Stanach Zjednoczonych oraz w innych krajach swiata. Odnowa charyzmatyczna miala doprowadzic do odrodzenia duchowego na Wyspach Brytyjskich oraz polaczyc Katolikow z Protestantami. Mieli oni podbic ponownie kraj dla Jezusa. Odnowa charyzmatyczna miala doprowadzic do duchowego i moralnego przebudzenia w Stanach Zjednoczonych.

Czy widzimy dzisiaj mniej zbrodni, mniej rozwodow, mniej zboczenia homoseksualnego, mniej narkomanii i pijanstwa, mniej rasizmu? ‐ Wprost przeciwnie, jest tego wszystkiego coraz wiecej!

Ruch Charyzmatyczny nie byl w stanie odnowic kosciola, a tym bardziej odnowic kraju. Nie doprowadzil ten ruch kosciola do pokuty, a tym bardziej narodu. Trzydziesci lat temu nie znalezlibysmy Biskupow Anglikanskich, ktorzy zaprzeczaja narodzeniu Pana Jezusa z Dziewicy Maryi, lub nie zprzeczaliby Zmartwychwstaniu Pana Jezusa. Nie uslyszelibysmy o balwanach hinduskich czczonych w kosciolach anglikanskich, ani o homoseksualistach ordynowanych na pastorow kosciola Metodystow.

Nie tylko spoleczenstwo jest w daleko gorszej sytuacji dzisiaj, niz bylo ono trzydziesci lat temu przed 'Odnowa Charyzmatyczna', ale rowniez Kosciol jest dzisiaj w daleko gorszej sytuacji.

Wszyscy Jestesmy Kaplanami

Kazdy Chrzescijanin jest kaplanem. Wszyscy powinnismy przynosic ofiare holdu i skladac swoje zycie w ofierze, a nie kochac swego zycia w tym swiecie.

" Jesli kto chce pojsc za mna, niechaj sie zaprze samego siebie i bierze krzyz swoj na siebie codziennie, i nasladuje mnie". (Lukasza 9:23)

Ja upuscilem swoj krzyz wielokrotnie. Jestem tak wdzieczny Panu Bogu za Jezusa, ktory pomaga mi znowu podniesc moj krzyz i nasladowac Go. Moja stara natura nie chce tego czynic, ale Pan wierny jest i pomaga mi kazdego dnia.

Do tej pory siedem biskupow oraz setki ksiezy opuscilo Kosciol Anglikanski z powodu ordynacji kobiet na kaplanow. Kiedy zaprzeczano Narodzeniu Pana Jezusa z Dziewicy, nikt nie opuscil kosciola. Kiedy zaprzeczano, ze Pan Jezus zmartwychwstal, nikt nie opuscil kosciola. Kiedy biskupi wkladali swe rece na homoseksualistow wyswiecajac ich na kaplanow, nikt wtedy nie opuscil kosciola. Kiedy balwany Hindusow czczone byly w Katedrze Canterbury, nikt nie opuscil kosciola.

Tym ludziom nie zalezy na Slowie Bozym lub Prawdzie Bozej. Oni nie dbaja o Syna Bozego. Im chodzi tylko o ich religie.

Samo­Prezerwacja (Self Preservation)

Jedynym celem domu Saula jest zawsze samo‐prezerwacja.

  • Agaga, krola Amalekitow pojmal zywcem, natomiast wszystek lud wybil mieczem. Lecz Saul i jego lud oszczedzili Agaga i to, co bylo najlepsze wsrod owiec i bydla, najtlustrze okazy i jagnieta, i wszystkiego co bylo wartosciowe nie chcieli przeznaczyc na zniszczenie, zniszczyli natomiast dobytek lichy i marny.
  • I doszlo Samuela slowo Pana tej tresci : Zaluje, ze Saula posadzilem na krolestwie, gdyz odwrocil sie ode mnie i slowa mojego nie wykonal. Samuela ogarnal gniew i wolal do Pana przez cala noc.
  • Samuel wstal wczesnie rano, aby spotkac sie z Saulem. Lecz doniesiono Samuelowi, ze Saul poszedl do Karmelu i postawil tam sobie pomnik zwyciestwa, nastepnie zawrocil i pociagnal dalej do Gilgal" (1 Sam.15:8‐12)
  • Saul postawil sobie samemu pomnik. Saulowie dnia dzisiejszego sa rowniez bardzo zajeci budowaniem pomnikow dla siebie samych .
  • A gdy Samul przybyl do Saula, Saul rzekl do niego : Blogoslawionys ty u Pana ! Wypelnilem rozkaz Panski ! Samuel zas rzekl : A co to za beczenie owiec, ktore dochodzi do moich uszu, i ryk bydla, ktory slysze ?"
  • (1 samuela 15: 13‐14)
  • Dom Saula mysli, ze to jest laska Boza, ze to sie Bogu podoba, ze to jest blogoslawienstwo Boze, az przychodzi glos prawdziwego proroka, ktory mowi im prawde.
  • Saul odrzekl : Od Amalekitow je przyprowadzili, poniewaz lud oszczedzil najlepsze sztuki z owiec i z bydla, aby je ofiarowac Panu, Bogu twojemu; reszte jednak wybilismy do nogi". (1 Samuela 15 : 15)
  • 'W Kosciele Rzymsko Katolickim tez mozna znalezc dobre rzeczy, od ktorych mozemy sie uczyc' ‐ mowia niektorzy ludzie. Lecz gdybys wiedzial, ze cos jest w srodku zgnile, czy jadlbys to?
  • Rzekl tedy Samuel do Saula : Przestan ! Oznajmie ci, co Pan powiedzial do mnie tej nocy. A ten odrzekl : Powiedz. Wiec Samuel powiedzial : Czy nie jest tak, ze chociaz we wlasnych oczach wydales sie sobie maly, zostales naczelnikiem plemion izraelskich i Pan namascil cie na krola nad Izraelem ?

( 1 Samulea 15 : 16‐17)

Lud domagal sie krola. Oni zawsze chca miec przywodce w ciele zamiast ufac Bogu. 'Daj nam przywodce, daj nam krola'. Kiedy ludzie domagaja sie o przywodce lub krola, to zawsze wskazuje to na to, ze istnieje cos zlego w ich odniesieniu sie do Pana Jezusa. Ludzie nie chca zrozumiec, ze za przewodnikiem ludzkim moga oni isc jedynie tak daleko, jak ow przewodnik idzie za Panem, i ani kroku dalej. Jezeli taki przewodnik nie idzie z Panem Bogiem, wowczas i ty bedziesz w zamieszaniu i zwatpieniu tak samo jak twoj przewodnik. Co powiedzial Apostol Pawel ? " Badzcie nasladowcami moimi, jak ja jestem nasladowca Chrystusa". ( I Koryncjan 11:1)

Idzcie za mna, zgadzajcie sie ze mna, ufajcie mi tylko do tego stopnia w jakim ja ide za Jezusem. Nic poza tym.

My mamy Krola; nie powinnismy czynic innych ludzi naszymi krolami. "Nastepnie kazal ci Pan wyruszyc w pole, mowiac : Idz i wybij do nogi grzesznikow Amalekitow i walcz z nimi, az ich wytracisz. Wiec dlaczego nie usluchales glosu Pana, lecz rzuciles sie na lup i uczyniles zlo przed Panem ? (1 Samuela 15

:18‐19)

Pokazujemy nasze skarby krolowi Babilonskiemu. Kiedy posylasz nowo nawroconych z powrotem do Kosciola Rzymsko Katolickiego, jak to czyni Billy Graham, wowczas pokazujesz swoje skarby krolowi Babilonskiemu. Czytamy o tym w 2‐gej Ksiedze Krolewskiej, 20:12‐18 Kiedy tak czynimy, wowczas juz tylko jest to kwestia czasu, kiedy krol Babilonski powroci i zabierze nasze skarby.

Doktryna Rozdziela

  • A Saul odrzekl Samuelowi : Przeciez usluchalem glosu Pana i wyruszylem w pole, dokad poslal mnie Pan, i przyprowadzilem Agaga, krola Amalekitow, a Amalekitow wybilem do nogi !" ( 1 Samuela 15 : 20)
  • Oni zawsze usprawiedliwiaja swoje dzialanie. Nalegaja, ze sa posluszni Bogu, mowia, ze nasladuja Pana. Lecz Slowo Boze mowi zupelnie cos innego ! Nowy Testament nawoluje dwa razy wiecej do zachowywania prawdziwej doktryny, anizeli slusznego zachowania. Dlaczego ? Jezeli nie znamy doktryny Biblijnej, wowczas nie bedziemy wiedziec jakie powinno byc nasze zachowanie. Pan Jezus powiedzial wyraznie, ze doktryna bedzie rozdzielac ludzi. Wlasnie dokladnie taki jest cel doktryny !
  • Zli Przywodcy Oskarzaja Lud
  • Ale lud pobral z lupu w owcach i w bydle najprzedniejsze z oblozonego klatwa dobytku, aby je ofiarowac Panu, Bogu twojemu w Gilgal". (1 Samuela 15 : 21)
  • Zli przywodcy zawsze zwalaja wine na lud. 'To ludzie brali z tego lupu. My nie mozemy ich utrzymac pod kontrola'. Ci, ktorzy byli przywodcami otrzymali zadanie do wykonania i to bylo ich odpowiedzialnoscia. Oni mieli byc autorytetem Bozym w tej sytuacji.
  • Samuel powiedzial : Czy takie ma Pan upodobanie w calopaleniach i w rzeznych ofiarach, co w posluszenstwie dla glosu Pana ? Oto : Posluszenstwo lepsze jest niz ofiara, a uwazne sluchanie lepsze niz tluszcz barani. Gdyz nieposlusznstwo jest takim samym grzechem jak czary, a krnabrnosc, jak balwochwalstwo i oddawanie czci obrazom. Poniewaz wzgardziles rozkazem Pana, wiec i On wzgardzil toba i nie bedziesz krolem". (1 Samuela 15 :22 ‐ 23)
  • Oni przynosza ofiare holdu, lecz nie chca byc posluszni Pismu Swietemu.
  • Zawroc Ze Mna
  • I rzekl Saul do Samuela : Zgrzeszylem, gdyz przekroczylem rozkaz Pana i slowo twoje; lecz teraz balem sie ludu, wiec usluchalem jego glosu. Teraz jednak odpusc mi moj grzech i zawroc ze mna, a oddam poklon Panu. Samuel odrzekl Saulowi : Nie zawroce z toba, gdyz wzgardziles rozkazem Pana, i Pan wzgardzil toba, abys nie byl krolem nad Izraelem". (1 Samuela 15:24 ‐ 26)

Kiedy ludzie raz otwarcie odrzuca nauke Slowa Bozego, juz dalej z nimi isc nam nie wolno. Nie masz juz podstaw, zeby miec spolecznosc z nimi. " Czy idzie dwoch razem, jezeli nie sa w zgodzie ?" (Amos 3 : 3)

My mowimy o sprawach podstawowych ‐ zbawienie, autorytet Pisma Swietego, osoba Jezusa Chrystusa.

Biblia mowi, ze jezeli ludzie przepowiadaja cos co sie nie wypelnia, trzymaj sie od nich z daleka. Kiedy ludzie wola nauke Toronto/Brownsville, pomimo tego, ze widza kontradykcje pomiedzy tym co mowi Biblia, a tym co mowia ci przywodcy, oraz tym co oni czynia, wowczas powinnismy sie trzymac z daleka od tych ludzi. Ludzie, ktorzy nie chca slyszec prawdy sa w nieposluszenstwie, a nieposluszenstwo jest tym samym grzechem co czary. Ludzie ci otwarcie zaprzeczaja temu, co wyraznie uczy Slowo Boze.

Odrzucajac Slowo Prawdy

Ludzie tacy jak John Wimber, Paul Cain i Gerald Coates uczynili wiele przepowiedni, ktore sie nigdy nie spelnily. Ich falszywe przepowiednie opublikowano w gazetach i w swieckiej telewizji, a w rezultacie tego spowodowalo to tylko brutalne nasmiewanie sie z Chrzescijan, kiedy te przepowiednie sie nie wypelnily.

Kiedy otwarcie zapytano Gerald'a Coates o tych falszywych przepowiedniach, on odmowil wziac jakiejkolwiek odpowiedzialnosci za swoje dzialanie.

Zarowno Rick Joyner i John Kilpatrick czynili wielkie przepowiednie, ktore sie nie spelnily, a jednak ludzie nadal ida za nimi. To jest rebelia, to samo czym jest grzech czarow.

Ludzie, ktorzy ida za Coates'em, Joyner'em, czy Kilpatrick'em nie maja nic na ich obrone, ze ich przepowiednie zawiodly. Nie maja oni nic na swe usprawiedliwienie, ze Biblia mowi, abysmy nie szli za tymi ludzmi. Lecz oni nie chca byc posluszni Slowu Bozemu. Wola oni rebelie, czary. Gdy raz odrzuca Slowo Pana, nie ma juz miejsca dla Prawdy, nie mozemy juz miec z nimi spolecznosci.

Nauczanie Bibli w Ruchu Charyzmatycznym jest tak plytkie, ze wiekszosc z tych ludzi robi to z powodu ich ignorancji, raczej niz z powodu otwartej rebelii. Lecz sprawa ma sie zupelnie inaczej z ich przywodcami. Wszyscy oni powinni przyjsc do pokuty. Nie powinni oni miec zadnych funkcji w sluzbie Bozej. To wlasnie oni tak oszukali oraz powiedli wielu ludzi na manowce.

Wierny Pasterz

"Wtedy Samuel rzekl do niego : Dzis odebral ci Pan krolowanie nad Izraelem i nada je innemu, lepszemu od ciebie. A doprawdy ten, ktory jest chwala Izraela, nie klamie i nie zaluje tego, bo nie jest czlowiekiem, aby zalowac". (1 Samuela 15:28‐28)

Pan Bog nadal tego nie zaluje. Kiedy dom Saula idzie na manowce, Pan Bog zaczyna budowac dom Dawida.

Pan Bog rozpoczal uczyc Dawida od czasu, gdy Dawid byl malym chlopcem. Pan Bog przygotowuje ludzi na cos nadzwyczajnego w czyms zupelnie zwyczajnym.

Jak Dawid mogl byc w stanie zabic Goliata ? Kiedy byl jeszcze chlopcem pastuszkiem, chodzil za trzoda z proca w reku odganiajac wilki, ktore atakowaly owieczki. Wierny pasterz ( w jezyku hebrajskim jest to

takie same slowo co 'pastor'), otrzyma wiecej odpowiedzialnosci od Pana Boga. Dla niektorych z tych ludzi , owce przedstawiaja dzisiaj jedynie kamienne schody, po ktorych wspinaja sie w swej karierze.

Pierwsza lekcja jakiej nauczyl sie Dawid bylo to, ze nie mogl on wlozyc na siebie zbroi Saula. Ci, ktorzy chca nalezec do domu Dawida musza nauczyc sie tej samej lekcji. Nie mozesz wdziac zbroi Saula, jest ona zbyt uciazliwa.

Sluchajac Boga

"W tym czasie zebrali Filistynczycy swoje wojska na wyprawe wojenna z Izraelem. I rzekl Akisz do Dawida

: Wiesz zapewne, ze musisz wyruszyc, ty i twoi wojownicy, ze mna w hufcu. A Dawid odpowiedzial Akiszowi : Dobrze, sam sie przekonasz, czego dokona twoj sluga. Wiec Akisz rzekl do Dawida : Dlatego mianuje cie moim strozem przybocznym na caly czas.

Samuel juz umarl i caly lud izraelski odbyl po nim zalobe, i pochowali go w Ramie, rodzinnym jego miescie. Saul zas usunal z kraju wywolujacych duchy i wrozbitow.

Zebrali sie tedy Filistynczycy i wkroczywszy rozlozyli sie obozem w Szunem. Takze Saul zebral wszystkich Izraelitow i rozlozyl sie obozem w Gilboa. A gdy Saul zobaczyl oboz Filistynczykow, zlakl sie i serce jego bardzo sie zatrwozylo. I pytal sie Saul Pana, ale Pan nie dal mu odpowiedzi ani przez sny, ani przez swiete losy, ani przez prorokow. Wtedy rzekl Saul do swoich slug : Poszukajcie mi kobiety wywolujacej duchy, a pojde do niej i zapytam sie jej. I odpowiedzieli mu jego sludzy : Jest kobieta wywolujaca duchy w En‐Dor. ( 1 Samuela 28 : 1 ‐ 7)

Sluchajac Czarownic

Saul przestal slyszec glos Pana. Dzisiaj, przywodcy Charyzmatyczni naprawde sa zatrwozeni. Dlaczego Wimber, Paul Cain i Gerald Coates przepowiadali falszywie ? Oni duzo gadaja, ale sa zatrwozeni. Oni znaja dokladnie swoj wlasny rejestr. Oni wiedza, ze przez te ostatnie trzydziesci lat, rzeczy szly ze zlego na gorsze i z gorszego na jeszcze gorsze. Dlatego wlasnie stosuja oni jedna sztuczke za druga, jak na przyklad tak zwane 'przebudzenie smiechu' (laughing revival) zeby tylko utrzymac lud w ciemnosci.

Ludzie ci przestali slyszec glos Pana juz dawno temu. Taki Benny Hinn powiedzial, ze jezdzi on na cmentarz Forest Lawn w Los Angeles w Kaliforni, azeby miec kontakt z umarlymi. Otrzymuje on swoje 'namaszczenie' od niezywych cial Aimee McPherson i Kathryn Khulman.

Kiedy zaprzestajesz slyszec glos Pana, wowczas zwracasz sie do czarownic. To sie wydarzylo wowczas i to samo dzieje sie dzisiaj.

Dom Dawida

Dom Dawida staje sie coraz silniejszy. Jak sie to zaczyna ? 'Dawidowie' sa pastuszkami. "Kto jest wierny w najmiejszej sprawie i w wielkiej jest wierny." (Lukasz 16:10)

Chrzescijanie, ktorzy juz obecnie wiernie troszcza sie o to, co Pan Bog im powierzyl ‐ dobrzy mezowie, dobrzy ojcowie, dobrzy pastorowie, dobrzy liderzy grup domowych ‐ sa tym rodzajem ludzi, ktorych Pan Bog uzyje do prowadzenia calych trzod. Pan Bog przygotowuje ludzi na cos nadzwyczajnego w czyms

zwyczajnym. Ostatnia rzecza, ktorej spodziewalby sie Goliat, bylo to, zeby pomyslal, ze nastolatek ze smiertelnym celem z procy, moglby byc tym, ktory go powali.

Ludzie, ktorych Pan Bog przygotowuje, sa takimi ludzmi, ktorych nie oczekuje ani Islam, ani Nowy Wiek (New Age), ani Rzym, ani homoseksualisci, ani Wolno Mularze. Sa to ludzie, ktorych juz obecnie Pan Bog jest w trakcie przygotowywania. Ludzie, ktorzy maja smiertelny cel z procy. I wowczas zacznie Pan budowac dom Dawida. Jeden wzrasta w sile, a drugi staje sie coraz slabszy. Pan Bog odbiera powolanie z domu Saula, ktory biegnie dzisiaj jedynie na zasadzie inercji. Dom Saula utracil swe namaszczenie, ale Pan Bog pozostawia go do czasu, az dom Dawida bedzie gotowy.

Kiedy widzimy uwiedzenie dnia dzisiejszego, wowczas mozemy byc pewni trzech rzeczy :

Pan Bog wypowie slowa prorocze przeciwko tym falszywym naukom. Tak samo jak bylo w przypadku Samuela, oni rowniez nie beda chcieli sluchac Slowa Bozego.

Pozostanie wierna resztka. Ta wierna resztka gotowa bedzie sluchac Slowa Bozego i byc posluszna temu slowu.

Pan Bog wybuduje nowy dom.

Wyrzutkowie Israela

" I zgromadzili sie wokol niego ludzie ucisnieni i wszyscy zadluzeni oraz wszyscy rozgoryczeni, a on zostal ich przywodca. Tak znalazlo sie przy nim okolo czterystu mezow". ( 1 Samuela 22 : 2)

Wyrzutkowie Izraela zgromadzili sie wokol Dawida. Nie spodziewam sie, zeby pastorowie wielkich kosciolow lub dyrektorzy wielkich organizacji chcieli przylaczyc sie do domu Dawidowego. Tylko niewielu z nich przylaczy sie do domu Dawida. W najlepszym przypadku beda oni Jonatanami.

Beda to ludzie tacy jak my ‐ przegrani, wyrzutkowie, niewazni, niemodni. Jestesmy niczym obecnie, a czym bylismy przedtem ? Nie posiadamy niczego, co nie byloby rezultatem zbawienia, ktore daje nam Pan Jezus.

Slawni Rycerze

  • To sa imiona rycerzy Dawidowych : Joszeb Baszszebet, Tachmonita, najprzedniejszy z trzech; on to wywinal wlucznia nad osmiuset, ktorych pobil sam w bitwie. Za nim idzie Eleazar, syn Dodiego, wnuk Achochiego. Byl to jeden z trzech rycerzy, ktorzy byli z Dawidem, gdy lzono Filistynczykow zebranych tam do bitwy. Gdy wtedy wojownicy izraelscy ustepowli, on stanal i bil Filistynczykow, az mu zdretwiala reka i przywarla do miecza, a Pan dal w tym dniu wielkie zwyciestwo. Wtedy wojsko zawrocilo za jego przykladem, lecz juz tylko po to, aby zlupic poleglych.
  • Za nim idzie Szamma, syn Agea, Hararejczyk. Pewnego razu Filistynczycy sciagneli do Chaja, gdzie byla dzialka pola obsiana soczewica. Gdy wojsko pierzchnelo przed Filistynczykami, on stanal w srodku dzialki, odbil im ja i pobil Filistynczykow, a Pan dal wielkie zwyciestwo. ( 2 Samuela 23 :8‐12)
  • Wtedy to ci trzej rycerze przebili sie przez oboz filistynski, naczerpali wody ze studni betlejemskiej, ktora jest przy bramie i przyniesli ja Dawidowi." (2 Samuela 23 : 16)

Tak zwani rycerze Izraela dnia dzisiejszego, wielcy przywodcy chrzescijanscy, uciekaja przed homoseksualistami, przed Nowym Wiekiem (New Age), uciekaja przed Kosciolem Rzymsko Katolickim; uciekaja przed czymkolwiek. Nie maja poprostu potrzebnej odwagi do walki.

Pan Bog wzniesie malych chlopcow z procami. Pan Bog przygotuje waleczny narod. Kim sa ci waleczni rycerze Dawida ? Kim sa ci dowodcy ? Sa to ci sami ludzie, ktorzy wymienieni sa w 1 Ksiedze Samuela 22

: 2 ‐ ci, ktorzy byli w ucisku, ktorzy byli zadluzeni, ktorzy byli niezadowoleni, ci byli niczym i nikim. Pan Bog bierze przegranego i czyni z niego zwyciezce. Bierze On tych, ktorzy sa niczym i czyni z nich dowodcow.

Gdzie to Pan uczynil ? Gdzie nauczyl ich jak stac sie wielkimi ludzmi? Gdzie nauczyli sie oni jak stac sie generalami ?

W Pustyni

" Widzial wiec Dawid, ze Saul wyruszyl i czyha na jego zycie, gdy Dawid przebywal na pustyni Zyf w Choreszy". ( 1 Samuela 23 : 15)

W Biblii istnieja dwa rodzaje prob : W dolinie i na pustyni. W dolinie przechodzi sie przez krotkotrwala probe, lecz na pustyni przechodzi sie przez serie dlugich prob, tak jak przechodzili je Zydzi wedrujacy po pustyni przez czterdziesci lat.

Pustynia z natury jest miejscem smierci. Wlasnie dlatego drugie pokolenie weszlo do ziemi obiecanej. Pierwsze pokolenie wymarlo na pustyni. Jedynie nowe stworzenie moglo wejsc do nieba i do ziemi obiecanej, a nie stare stworzenie. Pan Bog uzywa pustyni, zeby zniszczyc to co cielesne, zeby wypalic stare stworzenie.

Byla to dluga wojna, Dawid wzrastal w sile, a Saul stawal sie coraz slabszy. Pan Bog jednak nie usunal domu Saula zupelnie, az do czasu kiedy Dawid byl gotow. Ci, ktorzy maja stac sie wielkimi rycerzami Izraela, ktorych Pan Bog uzyje dla odbudowy Ciala Chrystusowego w naszym kraju, juz obecnie przechodza przez dluga podroz na pustyni.

Pomazaniec Panski

  • A Pan nagradza kazdego za jego sprawiedliwosc i wiernosc; wydal cie Pan bowiem dzisiaj w moja reke, ale ja nie chcialem podniesc mojej reki na pomazanca Panskiego". (1 Samuela 26 :23)
  • Co z tego, ze Benny Hinn utrzymuje kontakt z umarlymi ?! Nie podnos reki na pomazanca Bozego !. Co z tego, ze Oral Roberts powiedzial, ze Pan Bog go zabije, jezeli on nie zbierze siedem czy osiem milionow dolarow ?! Nie podnos reki na pomazanca Bozego ! Dawid nie tknal Saula, poniewaz byl on pomazancem Bozym, ale czy Pan Bog kiedykolwiek zabronil Samuelowi lub Dawidowi mowic prawde o tym jakim byl Saul ? Werset ten nie ma absolutnie nic wspolnego z tym o czym oni mowia..
  • Niechze tedy wie z pewnoscia caly dom Izraela, ze Panem i Chrystusem uczynil go Bog, tego Jezusa, ktorego wy ukrzyzowaliscie". (Dzieje Apostolskie 2 : 36)
  • 'Chrystus' w jezyku greckim oznacza 'ho Christos'; w jezyku hebrajskim znaczy 'Ha Maszijach' i w obu tych jezykach znaczy doslownie 'namaszczony'. JEDEN jest tylko ten, ktory w Pismie Swietym jest 'namaszczony' i jest nim Pan Jezus.
  • Prorocy, Kaplani I Krolowie ­ Symbole Chrystusa
  • O, jak dobrze i milo, gdy bracia w zgodzie mieszkaja ! Jest to jak cenny olejek na glowie, ktory splywa na brode Aarona, splywajac do brzegu jego szaty". ( Psalm 133:1‐2)
  • Aaron, najwyzszy kaplan, byl typem Jezusa. On byl namaszczony ‐ olejek zostal polany na jego glowe, pozniej olejek splywal w dol na cale cialo.
  • Bo maz jest glowa zony, jak Chrystus Glowa Kosciola, ciala, ktorego jest Zbawicielem". (Efezjan 5 : 23)

My jestesmy Cialem Chrystusowym. Zeby byc 'namszczonym', musimy byc przylaczeni do ciala pod glowa. Pan Jezus jest tym, ktory jest namaszczony. My nie mamy namaszczenia, oprocz tego, ktore splywa na nas z glowy Chrystusa, jako na czlonkow Jego Ciala. Ludzie, ktorzy oglaszaja siebie samych jako 'namaszczonych' nie sa przylaczeni do ciala, oraz nie sa pod Glowa Chrystusa.

Zanim Chrystus zostal namszczony w moc, wladze i zwyciestwo, pierwej namaszczony zostal na pogrzeb.

Zanim ktokolwiek namaszczony zostaje dla sluzby Bozej, musi byc ten ktos najpierw namaszczony na pogrzeb.

Pawel powiedzial, ze dowodem jego namaszczenia nie byl fakt, ze dokonal on cudow i znakow, czy to, ze zasadzal koscioly, lub to, ze napisal on polowe Nowego Testamenu. Raczej, "..ja stygmaty Jezusowe nosze na ciele moim". (Galacjan 6 :17)

"Zawsze smierc Jezusa na ciele swoim noszacy, aby i zycie Jezusa na ciele naszym sie ujawnilo" ( 2 Koryncjan 4: 10) Poniewaz namaszczony on zostal na pogrzeb, wiec mogl rowniez Pan Bog uzyc Pawla w mocy.

Omamienie Demoniczne

" Wtedy wzial Samuel rog z olejem i namascil go w gronie jego braci; i od tego dnia Duch Panski spoczal na Dawidzie i pozostal na nim nadal, Samuel zas powstal i poszedl do Ramy.

A gdy od Saula odstapil Duch Panski, zaczal go trapic duch zly, tez od Pana". (1 Samuela 16 : 13 ‐ 14)

W najlepszym przypadku znaczna czesc tego zjawiska podnieconego charyzmatyzmu, ktore dzisiaj mozna zaobserwowac, jest typu cielesnego. Czesc z tego jest rowniez demoniczna, zla.

Uzdrowienia, ktore jak niektorzy twierdza dokonane byly przez Maryje, nie sa od Boga, ktory nie oddaje chwaly Swojej nikomu innemu. Nie ma watpliwosci, ze Saul wpadl pod zaklamanie demoniczne, oraz jestem pewny, ze to samo dziala i dzisiaj.

Zazdrosc, Nienawisc, Morderstwo

" Dawidowi udawalo sie wszystko, co przedsiewzial, gdyz Pan byl z nim. Gdy zas Saul widzial, ze tamten ma tak wielkie powodzenie, zdjal go przed nim lek". (1 Samuela 18 : 14‐15)

Nadchodzi czas, kiedy dom Dawida zacznie wychodzic z pustyni, a dom Saula zacznie zazdroscic. Zaczna was nienawidziec i pragnac was pozabijac. Kiedy ten czas nadejdzie, wowczas bedziecie mieli do czynienia z czyms otwarcie szatanskim, ze zlym duchem, ktory bedzie dreczyl.

Pamietajcie to, ze dom Saula obchodzi tylko jedno, a mianowicie samo przetrwanie. " Dawid zapytal Pana : Czy mam ruszyc na Filistynczykow ? Czy wydasz ich w moje rece ? A Pan odpowiedzial Dawidowi : Ruszaj, gdyz na pewno wydam Filistynczykow w twoje rece". ( 2 Samuela 5 : 19)

Nadchodzi czas, ze ludzie ci beda sciagac jako uchodzcy do nowego domu. Beda oni przychodzic na miejsce spolecznosci, poniewaz dom Saula bedzie zniszczony. Ci, ktorzy pozostali wiernymi przylacza sie do nowego domu, gdy ten czas nadejdzie.

Jonatani

Z jednym i tragicznym wyjatkiem. Bedzie to jedna z najtrudniejszych rzeczy, ktora wydarzy sie juz w nadchodzacych latach. Beda to Jonatani.

"Filistynczycy dopedzili Saula i jego synow i zabili Jonatana i Abinadaba i Malkiszue, synow Saula". (1 Samuela 31 : 2 )

" Wtedy Dawid uchwycil swoje szaty i rozdarl je, rowniez wszyscy mezowie, ktorzy z nim byli. I zanucili piesn zalobna i plakali i poscili az do wieczora na znak zaloby po Saulu i po Jonatanie, jego synu i po ludzie Pana i po domu izraelskim, ze padl od miecza". ( 2 Samuela 1 : 11 ‐ 12 )

To bedzie wlasnie ow najtrudnieszy aspekt ‐ Jonatani. Jonatan wiedzial, ze Dawid mial racje. On wiedzial, ze Dawid byl powolany przez Pana. Wiedzaial, ze on byl niewinny i prawy. Jonatan wiedzial rowniez, ze dom jego ojca zboczyl z drogi. Wiedzial, ze jego ojciec byl skorumpowany. Wiedzial, ze kraj byl najezdzany przez wroga i ze wszystko upadalo z powodu jego ojca. Lecz Jonatan nie potrafil zerwac wiezow ze swym ojcem.

Sa ludzie, ktorzy i dzisiaj widza, ze zle sie rzeczy maja, lecz nie potrafia tego opuscic. Ludzie, ktorzy przylaczyli sie do Saula a nie potrafia go opuscic, umra na Gorze Gilboa. To bedzie najtrudniejsza rzecza do przezycia.

Sa tacy ludzie, ktorych znacie i kochacie, ktorzy maja po same gardlo tego zla, ktore widza; ktorzy widza caly ten falsz oraz na czym on polega. Jednak nie posiadaja odwagi w calym swoim przekonaniu.

Do ktorego domu przylaczysz sie ty ?

Do ktorego domu chcesz sie przylaczyc? Bedziesz nalezal albo do domu Saula, albo do domu Dawida.

Bedziesz musial pojsc na pustynie, gdzie Pan Bog jest w trakcie budowy tego domu. Musisz sie spodziewac, ze dom Saula bedzie cie nienawidzil oraz przesladowal. Musisz zrozumiec, ze ci ludzie sa

nadal naszymi bracmi, na lepsze czy na gorsze. Nie podnos reki na pomazanca Panskiego. Mozesz oznajmic prawde o nich, lecz jedynie Pan Bog moze ich usunac.

Musimy zniesc bol i cierpienie, ktore Dawid doswiadczyl z powodu Jonatana. Nadchodzi czas, kiedy dom Saula upadnie. Jak dlugo jeszcze moze przetrwac ? Przeskakuje on z jednej sztuczki na druga, z jednego trendu do drugiego, z jednej formy podniecenia do drugiej.

Dom Dawida sie ostoi. Bedzie on stal na Hebronie, miejscu spolecznosci, a wowczas inni sie przylacza do niego.

Kiedy ten dzien nadejdzie, wtedy Pan da wielkie zwyciestwo nad Filistynami, Amalekitami, Kanaanejczykami, Islamem, Nowym Wiekiem, Wolna Masoneria, Rzymem i homoseksualistami.

Dom Dawida, czy dom Saula ? Jest mnostwo miejsca w obydwu tych domach. Wybor nalezy do ciebie. Jezeli chcesz przylaczyc sie do domu Dawida, teraz jest twoja okazja. †††

Staying The Course Amidst Isolation Rubin Rothler LLB, LLM Living in Israel one gets the feeling that the metaphorical walls are closing in. Israel's reputation is being tarnished all over social media and the mainstream media, and this is reflected in massive public disdain towards this country. We are constantly told that there is near consensus amongst academics and commentators that a genocide was committed in Gaza. The very legitimacy of the state is brought into question. The majority of Americans are now hostile towards Israel. There is real fear that the next U.S. administration will turn against Israel. Even if this were to happen passively, by the U.S. refraining from exercising its veto power towards Security Council Resolutions condemning Israeli actions this could be catastrophic. Internally it is a fractured society leaning increasingly right wing which further alienates Israel from world opinion. An example in point is how Ben Gvir mocked the most recent participants of a global aid flotilla to Gaza. Such conduct further agitates outrage at Israel. The left-wing media presents the ruins of Gaza as a mortal wound in Israel's side. When the world observes this level of carnage no degree of public relations can ameliorate the sense of indignation towards Israel. We can liken the situation of Israel to that of a depressed person. All he sees is hopelessness and gloom. But this isn't the first time that the Jewish nation has been faced with such darkness. Things change and we don't know how the geo-political map will reconfigure in the future. We need to ride out this storm and keep going. On a historical note, the situation is reminiscent of what our ancestors faced when we returned from the Babylonian exile to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah was faced with constant lies and conspiracies designed to entrap him by hostile actors: Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite and Geshem the Arab. They employed deception, slander and ridicule in order to maintain their political eminence. There was also a certain sense of abandonment amongst the Jews in Israel then as in our own day. We read in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah about the anguish of the leadership in Israel concerning the lack of assistance from the Babylonian diaspora towards the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem and the Temple. Only 20% of the exiles returned to the land. It was largely the poor who returned. Most of the affluent, established Jews remained in Exile. This is a continuing theme in Jewish history. It is also important to observe that from its very beginnings there were bible believing Christians who spearheaded the return of the Jews to their land. The idea of organizing a return of the Jews to Israel began as a Protestant Restorationist objective that can be traced to 17th century Puritan England. The protagonists of the Cromwellian Republic viewed themselves as the new Israel fighting the Papist forces of Satan. Alongside this, interest grew in the notion that biblical prophecies pertaining to the return of the Jews to Israel were a necessary precursor for the return of Christ. The growth of the British Empire in the 19th century lent political clout to Christian Restorationism with specific missions to the Jews established. Although there had been a longing to return to Israel as written in the thrice daily Amidah prayer, Jewish Zionism arose in the midst of mid nineteenth century nationalism and was further fermented by European antisemitism. It was an altogether secular enterprise. Although Israel's situation appears rather stark, we can draw strength from the Providence afforded to our ancestors in the days of Ezra and Nehemiah when they too were faced with defamation. This is also an opportunity to grow closer to our natural allies in the evangelical world who from the beginning of Zionism were steadfast supporters of the project to establish a Jewish homeland in Israel.

Signs of the Times Tony Pearce ‍ ‍ Left, right or center – is our democracy in danger “Things fall apart, the center does not hold. Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.” W.B Yeats ‘The Second Coming. ’ ‍ ‍ Labour’s losses in the council elections and the battle for succession to their unpopular leader Kier Starmer have raised the possibility that we may soon have our seventh Prime Minister in ten years. Local elections saw Reform and the Greens make sweeping gains, leading Green Party leader, Zack Polanski to say that we are seeing ‘the end of the old two party system’. Maybe we are. In which case what comes next? Will we head to the far left, the far right or will the center hold on to power? Or will it end with ungovernable chaos as unqualified people take control of local and national government? Behind all this there are fundamental questions, ‘What is government for? Who does it represent and where is it going?’ ‍ ‍‍ ‍ According to the Bible (Romans 13) the purpose of government is to promote good and restrain evil. The government has the right to raise taxes for the common good of society and people should pay them. In 1 Timothy 2 Paul encourages us to pray for the government that ‘we may live a godly and peaceable life’. In other words, pray that the government will create an orderly and peaceful society and not interfere with our right to set up communities that teach and preach the Word of God. The situation becomes more difficult when we see government promoting things which are harmful and restraining things which are good and clamping down on freedom of speech with a threat to our ability to live a ‘godly and peaceable life’ ‍ Since becoming a Christian in my early twenties, I have wrestled with the question of how our faith applies to contemporary political issues. I started this quest on the left politically after leaving university and working as an English teacher with sympathies for Marxism. I then became a born again Christian in 1970, and joined my late wife Nikki in evangelizing the radical left, by handing out leaflets at their marches and demonstrations in London and attending their meetings to discuss matters of faith and politics with them. ‍ ‍‍ ‍ We had some good discussions with people and hope we made some consider the Christian alternative. However as we looked at Marxism from a Christian point of view and its practice in Communist countries, we understood that behind this ideology there is a strong anti-christian spirit. It denies the existence of God and promotes the idea of human perfectibility by our own effort. This is exemplified in the words of the Internationale, the socialist battle hymn, ‘No saviour from on high delivers, no faith have we in prince or peer, our own right hand the chains will shiver, chains of hatred, greed and fear.’ This Antichrist spirit led to the persecution of Christians in the Communist countries of eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and China. Far from creating the socialist paradise on earth that Lenin wrote about in ‘Socialism and Religion’, it created a society ruled by hatred, greed and fear, controlled by secret police, prison camps and responsible for the death of millions. ‍ ‍ In western society we have witnessed the growth of ‘cultural Marxism’ a movement aimed at infiltrating and changing society from within, rather than fomenting the workers’ revolution. Labour’s Fabian Society, with its (now discarded) logo of the wolf in sheep’s clothing, has been engaged in this process since the beginning of the 20th century. Social change really took off with the permissive society in the 1960s, which succeeded in changing traditional values, especially in the area of sex and the family. It replaced biblical values with a new ‘morality’ that is fundamentally anti Christian. These ideas have permeated large swathes of our society including the education system, the judiciary, the Civil Service, much of the media, mainstream political parties (including even the Conservative ‘wets’ and parts of the established church). ‍ ‍ Melanie Phillips describes the results of this in her book, ‘The Builder’s Stone.’ ‘Having decided that the West was rotten to the core, western elites set out to create a new culture that would usher in the brotherhood of man and eradicate hatred, prejudice, and war. Their Brave New World junked biblical religion with all its constraints on behaviour and revolved instead around self gratification. Everybody had the right to live as they wanted; nobody could say that their way of life was better or worse than anyone else’s; no one had the right to say that their culture was better than any other culture. That was ‘racism.’ At the heart of all this was the doctrine that there was no such thing as objective truth. Everything was relative; everything was a matter of opinion. Because there was no truth feelings became more important than facts. So the West abandoned the codes of morality, conscience, truth and lies, personal responsibility, and duty to others in favour of a culture of the self. In the process it junked its inherited traditions and biblical codes on which western culture was based.’ ‍ Britain changed from being a society that respected values based on the 10 Commandments and the teaching of Jesus Christ to one that discarded them for relative values. Ideas of ‘diversity, inclusion and equity’ became the norm, together with and a form of ‘tolerance’, that is really very intolerant if you oppose it. This ‘tolerance’ means accepting the virtues of multiculturalism and humanism and believing that all gods are equally valid or true (or none are). We must also accept that all lifestyles and family arrangements including homosexual and transsexual ones are just as valid as traditional two parent heterosexual families, with a father and mother committed to each other in lifelong matrimony looking after their own children. ‍ As society accepts this radical change in how we view culture, morality and religion, we are told not to criticize other cultures and world views or imply that they are anything less than equal to the culture, morality and faith derived from the Bible. ‍ All this has not improved society. Instead we have a collapse of values with no central idea to hold it together, just a group of competing ‘communities’ which are often only united in opposition to the traditional values and culture of Great Britain. A good example of this is the ‘red – green alliance’ of radical leftists and Islamists who come together to denounce Israel and campaign to ‘globalise the Intifada’. In practice this means a world wide war against Israel and Judaeo-Christian society and a desire to replace it with their version of either Islamism or Communism. However if one of them were to come to power, you can be sure that the Islamist’s would get rid of the leftists or vice versa. In fact that happened in Iran’s 1979 revolution, when Islamist supporters of Khomeini and Communists came together to get rid of the Shah. Then the Islamists seized power, turned on the Communists and wiped them out. ‍ Alisteir Heath wrote in the Daily Telegraph: ‘Ruined by decades of political vandalism, the Britain we knew and loved, a land of stability, pragmatism, and ancient freedoms, is no more. Today’s UK is uglier, impoverished, volatile and disorderly. We’ve lost our level-headedness. Anger and frustration have become our defining emotions. Our institutions have wasted away, and we have been taught to despise our history. The decline of family, community and faith have led to alienation, dependence on welfare and the rise of novel ideologies, mostly secular but also sectarian, turbocharged by social media. While the state becomes unnervingly authoritarian, the air reeks of insurrection and every variety of extremism. The British public’s sense of betrayal is as well-founded as it is dangerous. The machinery of state is incompetent and self-serving, a vehicle for social engineering in the global interest.’ ‍ ‍ ‍ Criticism of this process now risks being classed as ‘hate crime’ with a growing authoritarian society monitoring social media posts and public teaching of alternative ideas in ways which risk shutting down free speech in our society. A Christian teacher Enoch Burke is currently in prison in Dublin after he was suspended from his job and jailed after refusing to accept and teach transgenderism in the school. ‍ ‍ ‍ Nick Timothy, Shadow Secretary of State for Justice, got into trouble when he questioned mass Muslim prayer in Trafalgar Square. He wrote: ‘Mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan – which declares there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger – is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. The domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook.” He is right in this. Allah hu Akhbar actually means Allah is greater, greater than your God, Muhammad is greater than Jesus and the Koran is greater than the Bible. ‍ ‍ ‍ Tim Dieppe of Christian Concern for our Nation wrote: “The fact that we have mass Islamic prayer in Trafalgar Square at all is indicative of the massive culture change that we have seen in the last few decades. A culture change that was not voted for or ever agreed to by the British people. And, a culture change that can hardly be described as having been entirely beneficial to our culture as a whole. I only need to mention grooming gangs involving mostly Pakistani Muslim men , sharia courts, honour crimes, terror attacks, the assassination of an MP, an attempt to blockade Parliament, mass antisemitic marches through London, a convicted terrorist standing for local elections, sectarianism, and many other examples to make the point. Earlier this month, the Government gave Muslims special protection with the adoption of an official definition of anti-Muslim hostility .” ‍ ‍ ‍ You are not really supposed to question this in public life today. A message circulating on social media is an apt commentary on all this. ‘First they overlook evil, then they permit evil, then they legalise evil, then they promote evil, then celebrate evil, then persecute those who call it evil.’ Soviet dissident Solzhenitsyn wrote: ‘A Communist system can be recognised by how it spares criminals and criminalises its opponents.’ ‍ ‍ ‍ The root cause of all this is the rejection of God and biblical values. The 18th-century French philosopher Joseph de Maistre coined the phrase "people get the government they deserve." David Pawson followed up on this idea, arguing that in democratic societies like ours, the moral and spiritual condition of a nation's citizens is directly reflected in the leaders they elect. If the general public abandons moral truths, they will inevitably vote for governments that reflect those same compromises. David Pawson taught that God may use governmental leadership to judge or bless a nation, depending on the people's obedience. He noted that Hebrew prophets saw wicked rulers as a form of divine judgement on a society that has strayed from God's laws. Therefore a nation's ultimate hope rests on repentance rather than just political change. His conclusion is that Christians should actively stand for moral truth in society. He believed that the church is meant to influence culture upward, and that a decline in national morality inevitably leads to deteriorating governance. ‍ ‍ ‍ Sadly much of the church today has become the ‘salt that has lost its savour’ through compromise with antichristian forces in society and government. It may be too late to save our country and western democracy as social and economic pressures create a collapse of democracy and push us either towards anarchy or dictatorship. ‍ ‍ ‍ Yeats’ poem quoted at the beginning of this article ends with the enigmatic line ‘Some rough beast slouches towards Bethlehem to be born.’ Most likely he is referring to the coming anti-Messiah who is labelled the Beast in the book of Revelation. Many believe his is now waiting in the wings to replace the true Messiah (born in Bethlehem) and bring in the dictatorship prophesied in Revelation 13. The Bible indicates that the Beast or Antichrist will have power for a moment, but it will be short lived and doomed to destruction at the Second Coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. Then the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our God and of His Messiah and He shall reign forever and ever (Revelation 11.15) and the ‘government shall be on His shoulder’ (Isaiah 9.6). ‍ ‍ ‍ Maranatha come Lord Jesus. ‍ ‍ ‍ Water, water nowhere and not a drop to drink. (Apologies to the Ancient Mariner) ‍ ‍‍ ‍ While nations worry about supply of oil and gas as a result of the war in the Gulf and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a much more vital commodity for human survival is water. And it is in short supply in a growing number of nations. ‍ ‍ As of 2026, over 25 countries face extremely high water stress, with the most severe crises located in the Middle East and North Africa. This region is home to the world's most water-stressed nations, including Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Yemen, and Libya. India and Pakistan face critical water scarcity due to overexploitation of aquifers and population density. Much of Africa , Somalia and Ethiopia in particular are facing severe shortages due to drought and climate change. Mexico and parts of the United States (particularly Texas and the west coast) are experiencing significant water shortages and declining groundwater levels. ‍ ‍ ‍ Iran is facing a severe, multi-year water crisis as of May 2026, with major cities like Tehran, Mashhad, and Karaj approaching the point where taps could run dry due to depleted reservoirs. Groundwater is depleted across most of the country, and nineteen provinces are experiencing severe drought. The crisis is driven by a combination of climate change and decades of poor water management, including excessive dam construction and inefficient, water-intensive agriculture. China is facing a severe, multi-faceted water crisis defined by extreme scarcity in the north, widespread pollution, and mismanagement, threatening its food supply and economic growth. ‍ ‍ ‍ Several countries are significantly affected by upstream dam construction that reduces downstream water flow, causing, environmental, and diplomatic crises. These countries include Iraq, heavily impacted by dams built on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers by Turkey and Iran, leading to reduced water for agriculture, destruction of forests, and increased sandstorms. Egypt and Sudanface significant water security risks due to the Ethiopian Grand Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile. Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Laosare affected of dams built by China on the upper Mekong River ‍ ‍ One country which bucks this trend is Israel. Israel manages its water resources by transforming a chronic shortage into a surplus through large-scale desalination, extensive wastewater recycling, and a centralised national water carrier system. The agriculture sector has shifted away from freshwater, using treated effluent instead. Advanced drip irrigation technologies are widely used to minimise waste. Israel has exported its water technologies to countries around the world, particularly Africa where it has given advice on how to use limited water resources to great effect. ‍ ‍ ‍ Without water no society on earth can survive. Bible prophecies indicate that water shortage and pollution will be a global problem in the last days. Most obviously no water equals no food, so famine is an inevitable result of water shortages. Jesus warned of this as a sign of the last days in Matthew 24.7. Revelation 8.10-11 speaks of something called ‘Wormwood’ falling on rivers and springs of water causing it to become bitter and many to die from drinking it. ‍ ‍ Prophecy speaks of the two great rivers of the ancient world, the Nile and the Euphrates, being affected by a crisis causing the Euphrates to dry up (Revelation 16.12) and the Nile to become contaminated and its waters turn foul (Isaiah 19.5-11). Isaiah 24 speaks of a curse devouring the earth in the last days causing the earth to be ‘defiled (or polluted) under its inhabitants.’ ‍ ‍ ‍ According to the New Scientist, there are massive amounts of water hidden deep beneath the Earth's surface. Scientists have found evidence of a reservoir of water three times the volume of all surface oceans combined, located roughly 250–400 miles underground within the mantle. ‍ ‍ ‍ It may be that the Lord will release this water to replenish and clean up the earth in the Millennial kingdom when ‘waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. The parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water.’ Isaiah 35. Zechariah 14.8-9 says, ‘In that day it shall be that living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur. And the Lord shall be King over all the earth.’ Zechariah 14.8-9. See also Ezekiel 47. ‍ Rethinking Russia ‍ Things are not going well for Vladimir Putin in his ‘special military operation’. Four years after invading Ukraine in February 2022, Russia is not making advances and actually losing ground. Russia is losing as many as 25,000- 35,000 casualties a month and over 1.2 million have been killed and wounded since the war began. Ukrainian skills in drone warfare have destroyed large quantities of Russian equipment, tanks, armoured personnel carriers, artillery and rocket systems, helicopters, and naval vessels. ‍ ‍ Russia is spending an estimated 40% of the entire federal budget on the war effort. As a result of this and western sanctions, Russia is increasingly unable to fix chronic infrastructure problems at home. During the bitter Russian winter thousands of people were left without heat, light, or even water. All forms of transport, trains, trucks and planes, are facing logistical problems, making it difficult to transport goods and people across the vast Russian regions. Russia is on the way to an infrastructure collapse that will likely take decades to recover. ‍ ‍ Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov warned the State Duma that Russia's faltering economy risks stoking a 1917-style revolution. He demanded urgent financial and economic measures by autumn to avert a potential economic collapse. This raises the danger of the Russian Federation fracturing. The Caucuses are restive, the far east is looking to China and Siberia is facing an acute problem as a result of melting permafrost, causing buildings, bridges and pipelines to collapse. ‍ ‍ In the present circumstances it is hard to see how Russia could lead the Gog and Magog invasion of Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). Some have said that it is more likely that Turkey is the lead power in the War of Gog and Magog. They say that Meshech and Tubal are not Moscow and Tobolsk, but regions of modern Turkey. Erdogan’s Turkey is backed by an Islamist world view hostile to Israel, seeking the recovery of its Ottoman Empire. He has his eyes on taking control of Jerusalem. Turkey is possession of a large land army already stationed in the region, some of it occupying part of Syria. ‍ ‍ The alternative is that the War of Gog and Magog is some way off, possibly part of Armageddon, giving time for Russia to recover from its present distress. We wait and see, but meanwhile spare a thought and a prayer for the people of Ukraine and Russia, suffering as a result of Putin’s futile war, oppressed by his corrupt dictatorship and facing an economic and social collapse caused by his failed policies. ‍ ‍

Trump's Visit with Xi Rubin Rothler LLB, LLM The tempest path of Sino-U.S. tensions came to a head during Trump's first term in office with the outbreak of Covid. Many commentators believed that the deterioration in relations was in terminal decline and that a major confrontation in the straits of Taiwan was fast looming. Trump held China responsible for the spread of Covid, insisting that he would pursue reparations. The election of Biden halted this commitment. Biden sought a non-confrontational policy towards Beijing. In the aftermath of the disastrous premature withdrawal from Afghanistan handing that country over to the Taliban and the Russian invasion of Ukraine under his watch, Biden became too preoccupied to assertively engage with China. Chinese State media portrayed Trump's visit as being rather unremarkable in the context of other foreign dignitaries lining up to meet Xi, pointing out that just a week later Putin would arrive in Beijing. China manifests that it is winning the trade war that Trump began in 2018, beating America at its own game of capitalism. They frame the U.S. as being in a position of weakness because China is able to source whatever products they buy from the U.S. elsewhere like oil from Canada, and soybeans from Brazil. The oil, soybeans and 200 Boeing's Xi agreed to purchase from Trump were presented as a mere gesture to placate Trump as China has already bought 350 Air Buses in the last year. China would have the world believe that it is only semi-conductors where America has the edge. Here China hints that it is not likely to buy H200 Invidia Chips because it would mean that China will always lag behind the U.S. in building their AI tech. China's major contention and concern is that the U.S. may impose export controls to contain China. China's strategy instead is to invest massively on indigenous innovation. China wants to become an innovation powerhouse that will export its own Chips to the Global South. China is fast catching up with America's lead in AI with the launch of Deep Seek and they claim similar progress with Chip making. China is now ostensibly only eight months behind the U.S. on Large Language Models. Running contrary to this narrative Trump insists that China is desperate to trade with America. China's economy has now peaked. Emblematic of this stagnating growth is rising youth unemployment. China is no longer America's biggest trading partner. Trump has shifted manufacturing back to the U.S. and Trump believes that China can't revive its economy without America. Lined up to meet Xi with Trump were the heads of some of America's biggest Tech Corporations. Corporations like nvidia seek a relaxing of export controls for Chips as they want short term profits, ignoring the risk that China will reverse engineer this technology. More broadly, China and the U.S. are playing a geopolitical chess game spanning the globe. Trump outmaneuvered China in Latin America with the removal of Maduro from power in Venezuela. China is exploiting its influence on Iran in order to get Trump to refrain from taking more active steps towards the defense of Taiwan. Indeed, Trump didn't say anything about Taiwan during his visit. Trump's instincts are of a transactional approach towards alliances, where he is only willing to underwrite defense assistance if allies pay up as an insurer would. It is also important to note that saber rattling the Taiwan card also serves the CCP agenda to distract internal dissent concerning the state of the Chinese economy. Most imminently Trump needs China to pressure Iran to open the Straits of Hormuz and get oil prices down before the midterm elections. China has largely insulated itself from the Gulf energy impact due to stockpiles. Trump would also like China to stop providing Iran with GPS for its missiles. Other Chinese weapons systems and technology sold to Iran have failed to perform well against U.S. and Israeli military hardware. Matters boil down to a leverage between whatever Trump can do on Taiwan, China can do on the strait of Hormouz with Iran. Human Rights concerns, espionage and the alarming rate of Chinese acquisition of U.S. land have been placed on the back burner for the time being.

Will Lebanon miss its golden opportunity? Rubin Rothler LLB, LLM Converging new facts on the ground have transformed the political landscape in Lebanon. With Assad removed from power in Syria, a vital lifeline of arms supplies for Hezbollah originating in Iran has diminished. Hezbollah suffered considerable losses in its last round of fighting with Israel. The decapitation of its leadership with the targeted pager attack inflicted a severe blow. Hezbollah's new leader Naim Qassem is a weak substitute for the charismatic Nasrallah who was assassinated by Israel in 2024. Hezbollah in its frail state foolishly fell into line with Iran's instruction to join the fighting against Israel following the recent American-Israeli war with Iran. This was contrary to the wishes of the Lebanese government which was fearful of the inevitable destruction that would be wreaked by the Israeli response. The differing attitudes to Israel amongst Lebanon's population is reflective of its ethnic composition. The predominant groups in order of plurality are Christians, Shia Muslims and Sunni Muslims with a smaller minority of Druze. The major concern of most Christians in Lebanon is the dire state of their economy. They have no appetite to further their plight by invoking Israel's rage. During the colonial inter war period the French envisaged the demarcation between Lebanon and Syria as carving out enclaves for Christian and Druze control. Within Lebanon there would be a shared government that by convention would have the Executive power split between a Christian President, a Sunni Prime Minister and Shia Speaker of Parliament. The Christians in southern Lebanon (particularly Maronite Catholics) saw themselves as being anthropologically descendants of ancient Phoenicians as opposed to an Arab identity where the Arab Christians were largely Eastern Orthodox. The schism between the Maronites and the Arab Eastern Orthodox dates back to the time of the Crusades. The Maronites were culturally French, speaking French as their main language and held precedence in much of the Lebanese economy. The first threat to Lebanese stability and cohesion was settled by the U.S. Eisenhower administration in 1958 which landed Marines in an amphibious operation. A repeated attempt at this by the Reagan administration in 1983 ended in a military disaster for the U.S. due to suicide bombings by Iranian controlled terrorists. Israeli efforts to bring in stability during the Lebanese Civil War in conjunction with its Lebanese Christian allies led by Major Saad Haddad likewise came to calamity when the Sabra and Shatila revenge attacks took place following the assassination of Lebanese leader Bashir Gemayel. The ''Good Fence'' policy of an Israeli friendly free Lebanon zone in Southern Lebanon eventually ended badly following Menachem Begin's second incursion into Lebanon called ''Shalom HaGalil'' aimed at stopping the PLO rocket attacks on Israeli border communities like Metulla, Kiryat Shmona, Naharya, Rosh Hanikra, Tzfat and Carmiel. The proxy Israeli occupation from the Israeli border to the Litani river became an imbroglio that many in Israel viewed as Israel's Vietnam with widespread domestic protest and a collapse of morale within the IDF. Eventually Israel absorbed Christian war refugees from Lebanon, while the Vatican and most of the Christian world turned their backs on the Lebanese Christians. Lebanon was then saddled with two states within a state. The first was in the aftermath of Black September in 1970 when King Hussein of Jordan defended his Hashemite throne and government from Yasser Arafat's attempt to take over Jordan due to Jordan having a 70% Palestinian Arab demographic majority. The Jordanian legion drove tens of thousands of its pro Arafat Jordanian citizens into Lebanon, creating a population base for the first state within a state under Arafat. However the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and other factions had their niche interests. Courtesy of the Israeli Air Force Arafat relocated what he saw as his government in exile to Tunisia. This was a missed opportunity by the Lebanese government to assert its autonomy and full territorial control by making a Camp David type peace with Israel inclusive of economic and mutual security provisions. Instead an Iranian backed Syrian intervention replaced Arafat's state within a state with a new one that morphed into Hezbollah. The fall of the Assad regime and the Israeli counter-offensive against Hezbollah re-presents Lebanon with the opportunity that it once lost. The predominantly Christian controlled Lebanese military could and should operationally coordinate with the IDF, to obliterate and remove Hezbollah as the Israelis relieved Lebanon of Arafat's state within a state. Such a rapprochement would likely have strong American and possibly French and British support, allowing Lebanon to be at a non-combative peace with Israel along the lines of Egypt and Jordan, and now some of the Emirates. The natural comradery of the Lebanese Druze community with the Israeli Druze and the pro-Israeli Druze of Syria would additionally re-enforce a regional harmony, as would the Maronite Christian community in Israel with their co-coreligionists in Lebanon.

PASTOR JOHN ANGLISS It is with profound sadness that we learned of the temporary separation from our friend and brother Pastor John Angliss. We look forward to being reunited with John in the millennial reign of Christ and indeed in God's Eternal Kingdom. Jacob Prasch visited John a few weeks ago in the UK while John was in hospice care having been diagnosed preterminal in his illness. While medically correct, it was of course a misdiagnosis. John is now cancer free and is alive and well in the presence of Jesus awaiting us in glory while his mortal body is being renewed for resurrection and immortality. In the meanwhile, during this temporary season of bereavement we do request prayer for his beloved wife Mary and for his congregation, The Ark Fellowship in England near Reading, England. Because he has recently arrived in the USA and is scheduled to address the Moriel Canada branch conference in Winnipeg, Jacob Prasch will regrettably not be able to attend the memorial service in Britain. Our condolences however are very much with Mary and our brethren in the UK who like us knew and loved Pastor Angliss. John was one of a minority of faithful voices who upheld a traditional biblically based Pentecostalism in the era of counterfeit revivals and apostasy that overtook most of British Pentecostalism. John was a faithful friend of Israel & The Jews standing on the prophetic purposes of God for Israel and the salvation of the Jews. John was a loyal friend to Moriel and Jacob Prasch and a colleague of David Pawson and Derek Prince, both of whom likewise stood by God's promises to Israel. John was also a founding leader of CMFI - the Christian Ministerial Fellowship International, former pastor of Three Mile Cross fellowship , and former board member of Focus On Israel (a Pentecostal Ministry to the Jews). While this separation is temporary, John's eternal gain will be our temporary loss. O GRAVE - WHERE IS THEY VICTORY, O DEATH WHERE IS THY STING ? Hosea 13:14 / 1 Corinthians 15: 55-57

We made it this far: Israel at 78 Rubin Rothler LLB, LLM Since the last anniversary milestone of Israel at 75, we have been embroiled in relentless wars. Citizens had little respite to enjoy this year's festivities, coming on the heels of a lull in fighting on the Iranian and Lebanese fronts. We are constantly waiting for a breakthrough on the horizon that will normalize our relations with our neighbors and secure our position on the world stage. It is acutely exhausting to be the focus of the world's attention. But also there is a sense of inevitability accompanying the Zionist project. Specifically that Israel is destined to be central in the wider region and global affairs. Why is this? Is it due to it being a western transplant? Being geographically positioned on the crossroads of three continents? Religious believers would point to prophetic fulfillment. It is short sighted to only look at how our problems are rooted in today’s' reality. Greater forces are at work that will dictate the direction that Israel is heading. The Jewish diaspora will likely find itself in a growing precarious position that will lead to increasing Aliyah (immigration to Israel) and will perhaps ferment the emergence of a second Jewish commonwealth that will not need to heed international pressure in the same way that todays' polity finds itself doing. In this light it is interesting to ponder how our posterity would view our predicament and gains. And I frame matters in these terms with intentionality. We are enmeshed in a seemingly intractable conflict with the Palestinians, and yet Israel has made great gains particularly in the technological fields. There is a current of thinking that perceives Israel's way out of its quagmire is by making itself indispensable to technological advancements. We don't know how tomorrows' world will be shaped by the rapidly advancing AI revolution but so far Israel has proven to be uniquely adaptable and innovative to technological change. This has proved to be a boon to Israel's economy, as have offshore natural gas discoveries being developed in concert with Greece, Greek Cypriot and American energy interests that are geographically and strategically removed from any Straits of Hormuz shipping impediments that strangle the Persian Gulf deposits shared by Qatar and Iran. On another note we should contextualize the situation. How different are Israel's challenges from other nations? Is Israel any less stable than other countries (particularly in the region)? Israel doesn't find itself uniquely challenged to define its identity (most European countries do also, particularly in light of immigration). Nor does the government experience any more volatility than other comparable democracies. Israel's real problems lay in the nature of how its Jewish citizens desire to govern themselves. It is arguable whether the judicial reform protests that occupied public discourse in pre-October 7th Israel would have led to serious civil strife. But it is without doubt that this impasse was allayed by the external attack. The underlying tensions remain unresolved and there are many ways that they could play out. It has been framed as a battle for Israel's soul. Israel's enemies predict that Zionism is imploding and that the State won't survive another 5-10 years. Supporting this claim, they point to Israel's increasing alienation and growing pariah status on the international stage. Our Prime Minister has been indicted for war crimes at the International Criminal Court. Even public opinion in our staunchest ally the U.S. has turned sharply against Israel. With 80% of the Democratic Party being anti-Israel in a growing climate of anti-semitism we have even witnessed the shift of Alan Dershowitz to the Republican Party which must be seen as emblematic of a trend. There is apprehension in Israel of a post-Trump America dominated by the Democrats. However, these seeming incontrovertible facts may be offset by other measures of fortitude. This may be partially countered by the high investment by Silicon Valley in the Israeli Hi-tech sector, making Israel an asset for purposes of Research and Development in America's AI race against China. New opportunities for economic relations have also been opened with Arab nations through the Abraham Accords and with the powerhouse India. Furthermore, it is difficult to imagine a world in which Israel's technological prowess will not carry the sway of western decision makers in the long run. Israel's 78th anniversary is a moment to take pause and not catastrophize what the future may behold. The entire world is currently in a state of transformation and Israel is not an outlier in this context.

A critical juncture in NATO'S future Rubin Rothler LLB, LLM NATO was originally established in 1949 to keep the Russian hordes at bay from toppling those European countries not forked over to the Soviet sphere of influence at the Potsdam conference. Europe lay in ruins. Britain had passed on the torch of global hegemony to the U.S. by tacitly acquiescing to the decolonization of its Empire when Churchill and Roosevelt agreed terms of the Atlantic Charter for the post-war new world order in 1941. So from its start NATO was very much an American driven endeavor. American money with the Marshall plan was propping up western European economies and its military might was forming the bulk of their defensive capabilities. The lopsided nature of this dynamic has informed how tensions have persisted and recently erupted in the Alliance. During the Cold War the U.S. felt obligated to shoulder the costs of underwriting Europe's security in light of the broader interests to keep the Soviet's in check. Following the fall of the Iron Curtain European complacency became a sticking point with the 'peace dividend' further exploiting American largesse. European NATO allies spent ever smaller percentages of their GDP on defense expenditure at U.S. expense. Now in a multi-polar world U.S. and European perceived threats are less aligned. This was first tested in the aftermath of September 11th when for the first time NATO elected to trigger its article 5 collective defense protocol. And since then the U.S. has sought to continue to expand the traditional theatre of operations beyond Europe's borders. No longer is Russia perceived by America as being a proximate existential threat to its interests, but rather containing Chinese expansion in the Pacific arena. Parallel to NATO a discrete 'five eyes' intelligence sharing alliance comprising the Anglo-sphere (the U.S., U.K., Canada and New Zealand) emerged. This stands at the center of the U.S. – U.K. 'special relationship'. A relevant question would be can this signals intelligence (NSA-GCHQ) partnership persist should the U.S. withdraw from NATO? Conventional thinking would have led one to believe that with Brexit the U.K. would naturally pivot towards closer U.S. relations but under Starmer the U.K. is distancing itself. European powers misrepresent the present conflict as an aggressive, rather than defensive U.S. adventure while they themselves are more likely to be at risk. In this the Starmer government resembles the Labor party led committee for nuclear disarmament in the 1980's. It opposed the Thatcher supported deployment of U.S. cruise missiles in response to the Soviet SS20's pointed at Britain's cities. The British left branded their response to Soviet strategic escalation to U.S. aggression. This time however there is for the moment no Thatcher to bring common sense into an equation dominated by emotionally driven ideologies in the face of an aggressor with definite aims. In terms of the Russian-Ukraine conflict we are reverting to the old question dating back to the Napoleonic war era: to what extent is London happy with the European nations fighting it out alone for dominance of the continent. Britain was never willing to accept a single power in control. Many variables will dictate what kind of world emerges from the current conflicts in Ukraine and Iran. How will power be extracted from potential gains? What will be the strategic impact of this? What is sure, in the age of Trump this pattern of reliance on U.S. muscle is becoming quickly exhausted. Dating back to the Roman Empire, a factor in the decline of major powers has always been astronomical military spending, a budgetary demand that the U.S. under Trump is no longer willing to shoulder alone.
