COMMENTARY & OPINION

WAS THE MASS SUICIDE AT MASADA TO THE GLORY OF THE GREAT GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB --- OR WAS IT THE ULTIMATE REJECTION OF HIM?

SHALL WE COMPARE IT TO THE TIME WHEN KING JEHOSHAPHAT OF JUDAH WAS BEING APPROACHED BY AN ARMY HE KNEW HE HAD NO CHANCE AGAINST?

WHAT DID JEHOSHAPHAT DO?  HE WENT TO THE TEMPLE AND PRAYED TO THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB, CON-FESSING THAT, "WE KNOW NOT EVEN WHAT TO ASK FOR..."  THE PROPHET OF GOD WAS SENT TO HIM AND INSTRUCTED HIM TO MARCH INTO THE BATTLE BUT GOD WOULD FIGHT IT FOR HIM.  HE DID AS INSTRUCTED AND AS THE TWO ARMIES CLOSED, THE ENEMY TURNED ON THEMSELVES AND ANNIHILATED EACH OTHER.

SUCH IS THE POWER OF THE SUPREME SOVEREIGN OF THE UNIVERSE.

We live in a world today that goes even further than the above referenced "ultimate rejection" of Masada.  Today it is not merely a small band of trapped Jews but the "...whole world" that is deceived.  The masses have been lured into a worship of Lucifer, whether they call him Jesus, Allah or 1000 other names, while the religious leaders of this world openly worship Lucifer whose name was changed to Satan. They do this with child sacrifices, pedophilia, murder and rape and robbery of nations. 

Are those who maintain a discreet(?) silence as guilty as those committing the very acts of defiance of everything decent? 

Perhaps we should look at the comments of the apostle Paul in the first chapter of the book of Romans, describing these people.  Beginning in verse 22:

 22.   "Professing themselves wise, they became fools." 

 23.  "And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and birds and beast and creeping things."

24.  "Wherefore also, God gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their bodies between themselves."

25.  "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator who is blessed forever."

26.  "For this cause, God gave them up to vile affections:  for even their women did change the natural use to that which is against nature."

27.  "And likewise the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one for another, men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves the recompense of error which was meet."

28.  "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient."

29.  "Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, covetousness, wickedness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers."

30.  "Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents."

31.  "Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful."

32.  "Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which do these things are worthy of death, NOT ONLY DO THE SAME BUT HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO."

Is this an in depth description of our world today?  And who are these also worthy of death that "...have pleasure" in those who do these things?  Are these the movie goers and paperback readers?  We really need to ponder that.

I have likened TV watching to the equivalent of piping raw sewage into your brain. 

Every program, every newscast and every commercial is done with mind control as the objective.  I just about don't do visiting anymore because it seems that each house hold feels a desperate need for a background noise provided by a TV that seems to go 24-7.  I can't carry on a conversation with a background noise ongoing.  Perhaps my hearing impairment is a blessing in disguise.

But back to Masada.  Could they have called on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to save them?  Do you suppose He would have?  I think it would have been about as likely as an unbiased report on Donald Trump done by Kate Snow or Kelly O'Donnel. 

 You see the Creator is not a "hip pocket God" that you can thumb your nose at all your life and then expect Him to save you when you come face to face with the grim reaper. 

The tribes of Israel that were still in the Samaria area were taken into captivity by the Assyrians because of idolatry.  The nation of Judah (Jews), was invaded and survivors taken to Babylon some 120 years later for the same reason.  And after they were released by Cyrus some 70 years later, they returned to Jerusalem, rebuilt the city, then the temple and then fell into the curse of idolatry again.  They were then butchered by Rome, the city and temple destroyed and the Jews scattered throughout the world.  Are they really the "chosen people"?  Chosen for what? 

The Maccabees were Jews by association but Levites by bloodline.  They could have chosen suicide and few would have faulted them considering the odds they went up against.  They chose instead to slaughter the Greeks who were trying to convert them to their Luciferian religions --- and they prevailed --- even retaking the city of Jerusalem.  When the Creator is with you, an army of one becomes a majority.  Consider Sampson, David, Enoch, Elijah, etc.

Now we have the counterfeit "Jews" that Christ called, "...those who say they are Jews and are not but do lie".  (Rev 2:9/3;9).

They have set up a counterfeit nation they call Israel but they are not Israelites.  They are of the lineage of Japheth and descendants of Ashkenaz and Togarmah, sons of Gomer.  They were driven out of Khazaria in the 8th century by Russia because they are thieves.  They call themselves Ashkenazi "Jews".  The true Jews are the Sephardic Jews.  And if my research is on target, they number less than one and one half million worldwide.   One of the big deceptions in the world today is that the Jews are Israel.  This is tantamount to saying that Arkansas is America.  The Jews are only one tribe of the 13 tribes of Israel.  It should also be noted that when the tribes split to form separate nations of Israel and Judah, the Levites stayed with the temple in Jerusalem which remained the capitol of the nation of Judah.  The tribe of Benjamin, (at least a part of them), and a part of the tribe of Simeon stayed with the Jews and thereby were all lumped into those called Jews. 

The entire world is still living under the curse of war and the curse of idolatry.  The prophetic signs are all lining up like dominoes to bring this to a smashing climax.

I have been showing you these prophecies and how they relate to the real news of today for the past 10 years in the pages of these Commentaries.  Now we see the "...crisis at the close of the age" building and all major powers on high alert for WW III. 

We see the war in the middle east still on-going which is to prepare the real estate for the new and greater Israel with borders restored to those given Abraham some 4000 years ago. 

We still see Syria under siege by the most powerful nation in recorded history and moving toward the fulfillment of Isaiah 17:1-4.  When that happens, the war scene moves into fast forward and the destruction of America and "Israel" are only days away at best --- perhaps hours. 

It appears that some who call themselves "elite" are re-thinking the D.U.M.B.s idea, after seeing the ramping up of seismic activity worldwide.  The Rothschilds family has contracted with an Italian firm to build them a floating city of multiple pyramids that can be mostly submerged when complete.  We get a clue to their fate in the book of Obadiah and also in Isaiah 34.

And Jerusalem is to be destroyed one more time.  The phony "Jews" occupying "Israel" swear this will never happen but as Trump would say, "We'll see what happens".

Fasten your seat belt.  The next few weeks and months are certain to be "stormy".
