The blood and sacrifice of His divine body has already defeated every demon and everything they represent. It’s all a matter of time. The victory is won over these spirits of evil and at any moment the final judgment will begin. The demons were terrified when they saw Him in the flesh. Imagine what they will feel when they see Him in His glorified majesty.

Much of our world loves to play with superstitious games and videos. When rock singers sing under demon powers and such vile satanic rituals our youth and many adults love the charm of these mystical adventures. Shortly, and I mean shortly, this entire so-called entertainment will turn on everyone involved.

It will be hell to pay. Vampires and demon dragons will soon attack the world right out of hell. The book of Revelation warned us.

“And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths” (Revelation 9:17-18).

The raptured saints will be gone.

His blood was incorruptible and therefore could not be less than divine. Apostle Peter wrote of this great fact and prefaced it with a picture of the corruptible sacrifices of the First Testament. His words by the Holy Ghost were:

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you” (I Peter 1:18-20).

This Scripture leaves no doubt as to the nature of His blood. It was incorruptible. There was no nature of sin, which is the source of all death, in His blood. It did have the human component, but without the curse of Adam. The blood had been sanctified, set apart, and infused with divine life by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost.

Mary had asked this question when the angel announced to her that she was chosen of God to be the mother to the Messiah.

“And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that ‘holy thing’ which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:30-35)

The very term used by the angel was “Holy Thing.” The word used by the angel for “Holy Thing” in the original was one word, “hagios” or “pure, blameless, and most holy.” The act of the Holy Ghost overshadowing Mary was perfect insurance that no human or mortal impurity would touch the blood of the Son of God.

He would be a perfect sacrifice to take away the sin of the world. You may argue whether the blood was “divine” or simply “sanctified and infused with the divine,” but you certainly cannot reduce it to being simply “human.” I prefer calling it “divine,” because the Holy Ghost is Himself divine and His powers were infused in the womb of Mary; and Jesus was called “holy” or a “Holy Thing.”

Jesus Christ lived His entire life with the tension of His two natures. As an unborn child in His mother’s womb, His presence caused Elizabeth and her unborn child, John, to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Luke stated:

“And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost” (Luke 1:39-41).

He had noted earlier in His text concerning John the Baptist, “For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb” (Luke 1:15).

This is breathtaking! The presence of Jesus Christ, as an unborn, barely conceived baby in His virgin mother’s womb, filled two persons with the Holy Ghost. He was Mary’s baby, but the Father’s only begotten Son.

Shout Out the Freedom

When they visited the temple at his twelfth year, the tension of His two natures was powerfully revealed. After unknowingly leaving Him in Jerusalem, they returned to find Him comfortably debating the doctors in the temple. Luke stated,:

“And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers” (Luke 2:46-47).

Imagine a twelve-year-old son missing for three days in an extremely busy city. Where did He sleep, eat, wash, change clothes, etc.? Then to find Him debating great theological truths and literally confounding theological doctors reveals the natures that were present in the young boy named Jesus. There was no discomfort in this Son of God/son of man in these experiences, and I’m sure there were a multitude of them.

Again, on the Mount of Transfiguration the two natures of His person came blazing through to three of His disciples. Jesus Christ and His three chosen leaders walked just like any men up into a private mountain getaway. Then, suddenly, something overwhelming occurred. The Holy Ghost said of Jesus:

“And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid” (Matthew 17:2-6)

If the entire story was told of His life, the world could not contain the book.

“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen” (John 21:25).

His Body was incorruptible in Death: The picture of His life and death reveals the absolute certainty of His divine blood. Andrew Murray wrote of Him:

By shedding His precious, ‘divine’ blood as a sacrifice for our sin, by surrendering Himself in perfect obedience to the will of the Father, by a personal victory over sin, by bearing our punishment and curse, Jesus has conquered sin and rendered it powerless for us, also. (The Blood of the Cross, by Andrew Murray, Whitaker House, p. 41.)

Joseph S. Exell, author of a great set of commentaries, stated “The blood of Christ is omnipotent” (Biblical Illustrator, Joseph S. Exell, Baker Book House, Michigan, Vol. 22, Section on First Peter, p. 102).

Then he said, “Never was blood like this” (Ibid, p. 103), He added, “but among the things which are incorruptible and undefiled is the precious blood of Christ.” (Ibid)

He could not seem to stop in this great picture of Christ. “Should we not rather a thousand times say the preciousness of the blood of Christ was in the inward and personal, the spiritual and divine life which dwelt and throbbed in that blood?” (Ibid, p. 104)

The blood of Jesus was precious without spot, incorruptible and filled with the divine life of God. His death establishes this fact above debate. He died on the cross, not because they took His life but because He gave His life. He had carefully stated,:

“No man taketh it (my life) from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father” (John 10:18).

They could have crucified Him a thousand times and He would not have died had He not willingly “gave up the ghost” (John 19:30). He stated, “It is finished” (John 19:30). He commended His Spirit to the Father (Luke 23:46).

The Bible Is the Perfect Freedom

But, now His body was in the tomb and His Spirit descended into Abraham’s bosom. For three days and nights He was in the heart of the earth and His natural body was buried in the Tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea. In three days and nights, while buried in a stuffy airless grave, the natural body would be corrupt and full of death.

But His body was different because His blood was divine. The apostle Peter was perfectly aware of what occurred in that tomb because he was the first of Christ’s chosen disciples in that tomb after the Resurrection. John was with Peter in the tomb, although he paused on the outside having outrun Peter. Peter ran straight into the sepulcher.

What he saw he testified about in the book of Acts after receiving the boldness of the Pentecostal Baptism. He proclaimed the Resurrection with a powerful proof of a personal witness.

“Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption” (Acts 2:24, 2:27).

Peter was a witness that knew there was no death in that place of the dead. Notice again those words, “Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.”

The blood of the Son of God allowed absolutely no corruption to occur in that sepulcher for three full days and three full nights. That precious blood was preserved while the Spirit of the Son of man satisfied redemption for the Old Testament saints and led a victory march out of upper hell.

The absence of corruption in death was an eternal testimony to that early church and no doubt it helped lay the foundation for the victory, which they experienced. They knew He was alive because they saw a resurrected Savior, Whom death could pass over without a mark of corruption.

The Scripture states that Jesus Christ was filled with the Holy Spirit without measure.

“For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him” (John 3:34).

He was the divine Son of God with every attribute of divinity. He was also the son of man with every attribute of humanity except the nature of sin. But, He was also filled with the Holy Ghost “without measure.” This should satisfy all of our doubts as to the nature of His blood sacrifice. He freely offered Himself, but He also was empowered or aided by the Eternal Sprit or the Person of the Holy Ghost.

The first Scripture reference in this article stated, “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself …” (Hebrews 9:14a).

When we unite His sinless nature, divine in all essence, with the Holy Ghost, divine in all essence, together, this redemption of God becomes “supernatural to the uttermost.” He saves from the “gutter most to the uttermost” and there are no limits with Him.

We Can Have  an Abundant Life

The true saints of God live under this umbrella. It is not a magical wand or some superstitious words. He is a person, the only begotten Son, and our trust and assurance is in Him and His blood. We never separate the two.

This blood is eternal in exactly the way He is eternal. His offering for sin was by the Eternal Spirit and that same Holy Spirit holds the present active office of the manifestation of all the redemptive acts of that blood.

The saints of God are invited to live by the blood of Jesus Christ. We enter the prayer closet by this blood. Our healing is by His blood and all victory over all the spiritual realm of evil is by His blood. The blood speaks in the Holy Scripture and speaks when the Holy Ghost is manifest among us.

Victory awaits every believer that ceases to lean on flesh and learns to lean on this finished work of Christ’s blood redemption. If we could see it like John saw it we might also be in the Spirit when our God is ready to speak to us.

The city of Jerusalem is under mock attack.

The Iranians, Barack Obama’s special friends and partners, have erected a simulated mosque representing the Mosque of Omar on the Holy Mount in Jerusalem. This is now their place to play war games and train for taking Jerusalem and destroying every Jew. This is happening right now while the world is totally involved in our own security questions. Such an event in Iran should shake the entire world but Paris and Brussels are so gripping, it is hard to think about little Israel.

Iran has been the primary sponsor of the terrorists and their many attacks for decades. ISIS may appear to be separate from Iran but we will soon know that this is totally untrue. Obama’s administration is so inept and biased toward Iran that truth does not exist. Both Iran and ISIS are totally committed to the birth of a worldwide caliphate. The West must be subjected to their dream and our president has no ability to see the truth.

We are entering the very last stages of the end times in which Israel will be a “cup of trembling” to the whole world. We may have thought this worldwide emotion had already peaked. If so, we were wrong because it has only just begun. The victories of the war in Iraq have served to enflame the emotion of every enemy of Israel. Several months ago I said that the war to liberate Iraq was more for Israel than for America or anyone else. No, I do not believe that President Bush or his advisors believed that or even considered it. It was a sovereign thing; the prophetic action of our God who has already written the script in Biblical prophetic truths contained in Scripture.

It’s breathtaking to sit in the earthly audience, even to help others look upon the prophetic stage, and to watch our God fulfill every nuance of His Holy Book. Israel will be hated, not because our God wants them hated, but because they through their own unbelief and evil ways have laid a foundation for judgment. As that judgment is acted out, it will cause their God that loves them and who has a plan for them to become angry towards their enemies and to start the process of their redemption. Apostle Paul said it better than I could ever say it, “For God hath concluded them (Israel) all in unbelief, that He might have mercy upon all.” (Romans 11:32)

Picture Title Here

Zechariah prophesied of this very day, and he painted a clear picture for us to read. You can see the emotion of God Himself as He called for this day and prophesied, “…the burden of the Word of the Lord for Israel.” (Zechariah 12:1) It did not please the heart of God to announce their terrible time of suffering. God, the Father speaks these kinds of truths because He is perfectly just, and because His chosen must pay for their unbelief and sin just as justly as the wicked pay. He always draws a contrast between holy things and the profane with every aspect of His Word. Listen as the Holy Spirit speaks the Word of God by Zechariah.

“The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” (Zechariah 12:1-3)

Not only will Israel be hated by the unbelieving world; but also, those professing faith in the same Bible. Suicide bombers will continue to strike. There is no way to stop the terror that will reign until the Rapture and the seven years of wrath are complete. Jerusalem, the holy city loved by God Himself, will continue to be “trodden” down from within by angry Gentile terrorists and fanatic Islamics. No one can change the Word of God. Not even God Himself will alter His words spoken by His prophets. He said, “For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.” (Psalm 119:89)

Isaiah spoke to the fact of Israel’s sorrows until the Day of the Lord should come. “Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.” (Isaiah 51:17)

They must drink the last dregs and then wring them out to the last drop. But, as they finish their hour of sorrow, God will step forth to punish those that added to their sorrows and failed to rightly divide the truth of His love for them. Isaiah made this very plain. “Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again: But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.” (Isaiah 51:22-23)

You can see in those last words the very compromise of the Israelis toward the Palestinians occurring right now. Notice the words that sound like those of these deceased Arafat and his followers, “Bow down, that we may go over” and when they do, “and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.” As much as it breaks my heart to say it, their sorrows are not over yet. Woe to the person, the national entity, or the religious crowd that trashes the Jewish people because their sufferings are not yet complete.

No one should defend the gross sins in the cities of our world, including Jerusalem. Satan is having a field day spewing his filth on the world’s population, and Israel has certainly not escaped. The present moral condition of Jerusalem is totally different than the prophetic plan to make this city the capital of the Israeli state and the whole world during the thousand years of Christ’s reign. Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, will occupy the “Throne of David” in this breathtaking city and will rule the world in righteousness. There is indeed going to be a New World Order and Jerusalem will be the center. Believe me, it will not be “wicked, unconverted Jews” that establish the city of Jerusalem and the “true” New World Order after the seven years of wrath. It will be the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.

Writing on prophecy and having a web site which is read by tens of thousands, as well as our prophecy publication, enables me to get a tremendous amount of response from all viewpoints. The large number of anti-Israeli publications, which are written and promoted by people that believe they are representing the Bible, overwhelms me. A man named Ted Pike has produced a video entitled “Why the Mid-East Bleeds?” The ad for this video says it dramatizes several ideas. Let’s look at them to see how this vicious approach attacks both Israel and America.

They say this video dramatizes:

• The Talmudic basis of hate and racism that fuels Zionist aggression

• What really happened in the West Bank under Sharon’s 2002 invasion

• How loss of freedoms under “homeland security” directly results from unconditional support of Israel

• How U.S. takeover of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia etc. actually sets up Israel as ruler of the mid-east”

The worst publication I have received was entitled The Truth at Last. It was sixteen tabloid pages of distortion that could easily enflame anyone unlearned and susceptible to dark theories. One article was entitled “Palestinian Children Are Being Killed.” The article started with these words, “Without massive U.S. foreign aid this occupation would not last another day. The Jews would be forced to withdraw behind the 1967 border as established by the U.N. These are American tanks, helicopters and missiles, which are killing innocent Palestinians daily. We have made enemies out of 300 million Muslims who were once our friends. Our tradition has been as a protector of the oppressed against the oppressors. In this case we are on the wrong side. The picture of Palestinian children, some alive and some dead, all assigned to the alleged butchering by Jewish soldiers is too graphic to describe. The Bible says, “Truth is fallen in the street.” (Isaiah 59:14) These words fit perfectly.

When Rome Ransacked Jerusalem

One article I received said that America has invested three trillion dollars in Israel. Another article in the above publication put the amount at 1.6 trillion dollars. Three trillion dollars ($3,000,000,000,000) would be approximately ten thousand dollars per American citizen (Dr. E. R. Fields). There is no question as to the false facts included in this article, but would not it be wonderful if we had invested this much in the fifty-five years since the Heavenly Father resurrected this nation out of her two thousand year old grave. What we have invested is absolutely part of the reason for our national wealth.

Ezekiel, the prophet of God, spoke of this supernatural miracle thousands of years ago by the Holy Ghost. God did not forget what the prophet said, and it has all come to pass in our lifetime. And it is not finished. The Word said, “Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.” (Ezekiel 37:11-14) Those who fight against this supernatural God-ordained revival of ancient Israel are simply fighting God Himself. They have no possible chance of winning.

Hatred of Israel: Dark Shadows of the End

And the new beginning! God has a further plan and He put it in the Second Covenant of His Holy Book. Yes, Israel, as a nation, was reborn by Divine Sovereignty. Her rebirth is yet in part because there had to be a finishing of Israel’s chastisement. Probably this period of Israel’s transition from a people dispersed around the world to a national entity has been the hardest for people to understand. There are many among us that believe Israel should already possess all of her land and simply settle down in peace, but that would be totally impossible. Israel is in transition from no nation to the Kingdom of David, ruled by Jesus Christ. God’s timetable is the final word, and we were not given how long or exact events along the way.

The new beginning for Israel is tied directly to the finishing of the Gentile age of human government. The text we must investigate is Romans chapter eleven; but first let’s listen to the Son of God as He sets the time. Luke records His words. “And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.” (Luke 21:20-24)

This event shows the end of the age of the Gentile government and the beginning of the Lord’s kingdom age. The seven years of wrath is visible as He shows the suffering preceding the moment of His glory and the rise of Jerusalem to its time of prominence.

Israel’s blindness to the true Messiah, Jesus Christ, has lasted over 1,900 years. They failed to recognize His first coming and have suffered untold agony. Apostle Paul was jealous for Israel and carefully defended God’s love for them. Yet, he also knew the truth and spoke it plainly. He said, “(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.” (Romans 11:8-11)

They have been jealous against Jesus Christ and His church for all these centuries. But, the apostle did not stop at that point. He further said, “Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?” (Romans 11:12) The church must open her eyes to see that Israel as a nation has been reborn, but her spirit is still blinded. Only a Sovereign God can know the day that a spiritual rebirth for Israel will occur. That’s where we have a grave responsibility.

They were cast off because of unbelief and we were grafted in. We are sons and daughters of Abraham by faith, but only by the heritage of Jesus Christ. We have no right to set ourselves over them or in their place. Our salvation is by grace and pride is a grace killer. The truth is clear. “Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.” (Romans 11:20-21) The time is quickly approaching when the nation of Israel will be more than a political entity. It will soon be a theocratic kingdom under the rule of the King of Kings.

This “deliverer,” who is soon to appear, is already in the minds of many Jewish people. His appearance cannot occur until all is ready. The Rapture, the time of wrath, and the Battle of Armageddon must precede the redemption of all Israel. The Apostle Paul set this straight. “For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob” (Romans 11:25-26)

Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem

Now, We Must Show Mercy to Israel

God has so ordained that by the mercy of His covenant saints in the New Testament church, Israel shall obtain mercy and be redeemed. Listen to these heart-thrilling words from this key text of Romans, a letter to the saints. “Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?” (Romans 11:31-34)

This is incredible truth. No wonder the devil tries to invade the church with anti-Israel rhetoric. We are now responsible to show mercy to Israel even while they are still enemies of the Gospel. “As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” (Romans 11:28-29)

This is God’s plan for redeeming His severed olive trees, the people of His own “womb brethren.” How matchless is His plan that we, the “wild olive tree,” should now after almost 2,000 years be His partner in reclaiming the chosen nation that gave the Son of Man to all the world. I’ll tell you right now, “I’m on His team to get ready for the rebirth of spiritual Israel to the family of Jesus Christ.”

Conclusion

Hatred of Israel will reach the crescendo during the seven years of wrath. As we await the Rapture, we will be unconformable witnesses to a continuing rise of this dark shadow. Our duty is to stand tall, never for one moment give our praise or comfort to the hatred of Israel. If you send your money to an Israeli basher, you are as guilty as the basher himself. Be willing to show mercy in action and prayer for the “peace of Jerusalem.” Accept the fact that Israel is still in unbelief and that you by mercy and grace toward the Jews are “preparing the way for the Redeemer to appear.”

Could it be that the Father is even now holding up the Rapture while He awaits the “mercy” of the saints toward the “womb brethren?” It is no wonder that the Bible says, “Ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.” (Matthew 25:13) Help prepare the way by showing mercy to Israel.
