False Accusations Against Jesus

 We cannot imagine three-and-a-half years of ministry, with so much opposition against Jesus, by the religious leaders of Judaism of that day. The Pharisees, history tells us, was a religious sect, and history tells us that there were about six thousand members of that sect, in that day. Now one man said that he believes that Jesus was actually a Pharisee, He was a member of that religious party. Jesus didn't have to join a religious party. He was the Son of God. He was God in flesh. He was the manifestation of the Almighty and He was a Pharisee? No, that was a Jewish rabbi that came up with that. Jesus had so much opposition in His ministry.

Fig Tree

Now is the time we need to examine ourselves and our own attitude. There are certain characteristics of fig tree religion that are repulsive to God and repulsive to one another. Fig tree religion is man-made religion. As we see in the book of Genesis, it's taking the program of God and changing it to please man. There are certain characteristics of fig tree religion that everyone of us have to battle. Self-righteousness is one, pride is another, having a feeling of self-sufficiency spiritually. Every man goes through a process of growth in their Christian life, after they're saved, they have a new fresh love of God in their life. As they grow in knowledge, Paul said, the immature become puffed up, and come up with their own ideas, and also it's easy to become critical of other Christians.

Wailing Wall

What is God's attitude towards another physical temple in the city of Jerusalem? What is God's perspective? The only way we can find out God's perspective is to look into his word. Revelation 21:22 he said, "I saw no temple therein for the Lord God Almighty and the lamb are the temple of it this wonderful city that God says comes down out of heaven to the earth and there will be no temple."

So why are many Christians today supporting this concept with finacial and moral support and getting behind this effort of rebuilding a yet future temple?  Let's take a look at he dwelling places or the sanctuaries that God has dwelt in in the past, that is the physical buildings.

Three Spirits Like Frogs

Revelation 16:13. And I saw three uncleans spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Notice that these frogs are actually called spirits. Religions. Its a religious force and there's three of them that are functioning on our world today. Three major religious forces that are functioning in our day that are working against one another, but yet with one another to bring about the greatest war confrontation of nations that has ever been since the world began.

Revelation 2:9 I know thy works and tribulation and poverty but thou are rich. And I know the blasphemy of them that say they are Jews and are not. But are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 3:9, Behold I will make them of the synagogue of Satan which say they are Jews and are not but do lie. Behold I will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have loved thee.

Book Review

In this book, I present to you some facts from original sources, of men who believed otherwise. These people that were deported by the Assyrian empire, went north, and traveled west, and they went into Europe, into the British Isles, crossed the Atlantic ocean into North America. and who are these people? They are known traditionally as the Western European peoples.

Many people don't believe this, but they have no evidence that the Jewish people comprise the totality of Israel.Yet their whole doctrine is based upon it. In this book, I have listed many men, many names that you would recognize, that believed in the Anglo-Israel doctrine and message of scripture.

Repent

Has our nation gone beyond the point of no return? Everyone that is forty years old and upward, probably remembers a different United States than what it is today. We remember more innocent times, when you could leave your doors unlocked at night, when you could walk the streets of your city or your town without being mugged or robbed. We remember when there was no such thing as a gay pride parade. We remember the word homosexual was not even known by a lot of young people until they got to be in their late teens or early 20's, but now it's everywhere. Now, it's in our schools. It's on the streets. Politicians brag about it. The lawyers and the judges pass legislation to favor these people. Hate crimes. What's happened? Something's wrong.

The Resurrection

Throughout the history of the Christian church, many different groups, denominations, different movements, different doctrines have developed over the last two thousand years. A lot of different ideas and many different ideas prevail today, and it is a wonder if some of them are Biblical, sometimes you wonder if some of them are even within the scope of Christianity.

One of the things that I'm referring to is the arrest, the crucifixion, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ as prescribed by the scriptures, according to the proper timing. Some have said, well, it doesn't matter when Jesus was crucified. It doesn't matter when He rose from the dead. They're only concerned about the fact that He was crucified, and that He did rise from the dead.

But the Bible sets down a pattern. And in order for Jesus Christ to prove to the people of His day and our day that He was and is the Messiah, then the prophecies must come to pass according to the proper chronology and according to the time clock that God had set down for different things to transpire. It gives us an idea and a pattern by which the Lord works with that nation called, The Seventy Week nation

Fig Tree Religion

Gen3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Whatever this tree was, it was a very enticing thing and she saw that it would make one wise. It incorporated a philosophy, and this philosophy was to possess a wisdom apart from God. And there's where we have seen the "fig tree religion" flourish for the last  6,000 years, of Adamic existence.
