Greetings!
For most of us born after 1948 this is one of the most pivotal times of global history. We are entering in one of the greatest shifts of mankind. This is the transition between where we are now and the Theocratic rule of Adonai that is coming into the kingdoms of men.
We have not been here before and will never be here again for all eternity. This is as pivotal a time as when the Lord died on the cross. This is the consummation of the ages. This is a time that never was or ever will be again.
In order to pray with any degree of accuracy it is absolutely imperative to have the right perspective.
UNDERSTANDING THE PALESTINIAN CONFLICT: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PEACE PROCESS! PLEASE TAKE 10 MINUTES TO WATCH THIS ACCURATE UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PROBLEM.
 | | Israel Palestinian Conflict: The Truth About the West Bank |
 | | Israel Palestinian Conflict: The Truth About the Peace Process |
The Main Players in the End Time Scenario That is Here Now:
1. Jesus
2. Jerusalem (you can't separate Jerusalem from Jesus)
3. Eretz Israel (land of Israel)
4. Israel--the people
5. Jewish People globally
6. Body of Yeshua
7. Satan and demons
8. Anti-christ AC
9. Islam
10. NWO new world order
The Problems:
1. Satan wants and will get control over Jerusalem through the AC.
2. The Lord allows this for 3.5 years (Jacob's trouble, great tribulation) and then comes into destroy the AC and bind Satan in chains for 1000 years and He takes up the throne of David in the City of David and reigns the entire globe for 1000 years.
3. Islam will be one of the main tools that is focused against Jerusalem, eretz Israel etc.
4. The deception in the church: post-millennialism, replacement theology, dominion theology, preterism and a church that is bound by fear and doesn't want to know or study the end times.
5. The church is asleep at the wheel and uneducated on the end times.
6. The Palestinian push for state hood.
7. The nations of the world are more and more coming against Israel
8. Increased anti-semitism and anti-zionism and anti-jewish and anti-Christian and anti-christ feelings among the people and nations of the world
9. The lack of prayer and fasting with understanding in the church.
10. Dualism and dual covenant theology in the church.
11. The inevitable failure of the dollar and the establishment of a global economy, global government and ultimately a global religious system that is allowed by God.
The Solutions:
THE ONLY SOLUTION IS IN JESUS AND HIS WORD!
1. The primary solution is found in and through the church! (This is not to replace Israel but it is the Spirit Filled Prophetic Church that is the main agent of the Lord in this hour that will: pray for, minister to and ultimately lay down its life for the Jewish people)
2. The church has to be awakened in many areas and realize the time is short.
3. The church has to be educated on end times.
4. The church has to be educated on Israel and Jerusalem.
5. The church has to pray and fast and be engaged in 24/7.
6. The church has to prepare spiritually, emotionally and physically.
7. The church has to be ready to lay their lives down in order to preach the gospel to the Jew first and then the gentile.
8. The church has to get its priorities right.
9. The greatest point of prayer is to pray from the basis of covenant.
The Shift is NOT Over--It's Really Just Beginning!
This shift is only just beginning. The nations, churches and individual Christians are being weighed in the balance. DON'T TAKE THIS LIGHTLY! Not only are nations being weighed in the balance but so are church congregations and individual believers. What is the balance? How you (we) respond to Israel and what is happening in the middle east. Just as Jesus was a "rock of offense" and a "rejected corner stone" so Jerusalem is becoming a "rock of offense".
Zechariah 12:3
And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.
The Importance of Covenant
and
Praying from Understanding the Covenants
Rom 9:1 I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, 4 who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises; 5 of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
Ephesians 2:11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh-who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands- 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. The bottom line is that there is a false teaching in the church on "dual covenant" but the truth is that the covenants belong to the Jews! The new covenant and the everlasting covenant belong to the Jews. We are only grafted in! It is not a separate covenant or 1 for gentile church and 1 for the Jews. Our (gentile church) covenant is the Jew's new covenant or everlasting covenant. God's covenant with Noah, Abraham, Moses and David are all intertwined and part of the everlasting covenant. An everlasting covenant is a covenant that can not be broken and continues into future eternity. It is given to Israel but the Gentile church is grafted into it. Eph. 2:12 says we were aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise with no hope and without God in the world. 13 BUT NOW have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Romans 11:17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree.
We are partakers of the "root and fatness of the olive tree" literally is a statement that can be be said that we are partakers of the everlasting covenant.
This is our greatest way to pray. Pray for ourselves, for Israel and for Jerusalem based on God's everlasting covenant that He given: 1. the Jewish people, 2. the land of Israel and 3. the grafted in gentile church.
The everlasting covenant can not be fully realized or fulfilled apart from the TOTAL redemption of the land, Jerusalem, Jewish people and the Nation. Which happens at the end of the 7 years or we can say the end of the tribulation period or better said it is the fulfillment of the end of the time of Jacob's trouble and this happens when the Lord returns. It is the beginning of the Day Of The Lord and the beginning of the millennial reign of Yeshua Ha'Maschiach, the Son of David, Son of God, from Jerusalem in eretz Israel.
There are at least four signs of the everlasting covenant:
1. Rainbow
2. Circumcision
3. Shabbat
4. Holy Spirit
Consider these verses:
- Genesis 9:16
The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth." - Genesis 17:7
And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. - Genesis 17:13
He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. - Genesis 17:19
Then God said: "No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him. - Leviticus 24:8
Every Sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. - Numbers 25:13
and it shall be to him and his descendants after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.'" - 2 Samuel 23:5
" Although my house is not so with God,Yet He has made with me an everlasting covenant, Ordered in all things and secure. For this is all my salvation and all my desire; Will He not make it increase? - 1 Chronicles 16:17
And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,To Israel for an everlasting covenant, - Psalm 105:10
And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,To Israel as an everlasting covenant, - Isaiah 24:5
The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed the laws, Changed the ordinance, Broken the everlasting covenant. - Isaiah 55:3
Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you- The sure mercies of David. - Isaiah 61:8
" For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery for burnt offering; I will direct their work in truth, And will make with them an everlasting covenant. - Jeremiah 32:40
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me. - Ezekiel 16:60
"Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you. - Ezekiel 37:26
Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. - Hebrews 13:20
Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
I want to share a couple of things that others have written.
Why Jerusalem?
The controversy at the threshold of the Church
by Tim Monroe lifesart1@sbcglobal.net
It's my belief that due to remaining tentacles of Replacement Theology that blinds the church, for the most part, they still don't see Jerusalem as part of their inheritance. They have no personal investment in it, spiritually or naturally. My prayer is that their eyes open to see it as for the Jew and "ALSO" the grafted-in mixed multitude of the House of Israel. At best, we sing analogously about Jerusalem representing an errant perception of a future heaven with pearly gates and a personal mansion.
When we come to realize we are not only called to Jerusalem in Messiah Yeshua, but have been given a mandate to love her as our own and cry out for her with His heart. After all, the church would not exist were it not for Israel and Jerusalem.
The obvious disconnect; we sadly do not possess the heart of Yeshua. This is my prayer of Teshuva, that we "awaken" and "see" and "return" to the Messiah and His heart in this matter.
In the days upon us, the controversy of Jerusalem will increasingly be at the forefront of every believer. Your action or inaction will reveal the theology you've chosen to uphold. Even inaction is a decision; to not choose is still a choice. The Lord knows the heart; may we choose His heart. If we choose His heart the evidence of our actions will bear witness for all eternity.
This is from my son Joel:
Yeah, it is the revy for sure! Tom didn't go into the eternal covenant because he was just trying to lay a foundation, his next paper would be focused more on that. Another interesting thing he shared with me was another flaw in the deception of the pre-trib rapture from a covenental perspective. For pre-trib to work from a covenental perspective, you would have to have a dual-covenant perspective, which is so prevelant right now. With Israel being back in the land, along with the prophetic scriptures, the issue of them being coventialy yoked with the L-rd has become the elephant in the room. Most of the Christian denominations are having to face the music on Israels irrevocable place/call, so they are resulting to dual-covenant. When you approach the rapture from this perspective it is greatly flawed, seeing that the church would escape all the judgments and Israel would have to wait till the end. How do you explain that?
Anyways, it would be great if you can send out this paper to everyone, also Tom has been excepted into the Doctoral Program in Jerusalem and will be moving his family and representing Dan Juster's ministry Tikkun, as soon as the funds become available. With all the study he has done and mentor-ship he has received, along with sustaining intimacy through loosing both his sons, there is nobody more qualified to speak on the heart of the L-rd in the great and terrible day of the L-rd.
I highly recommend reading this Thesis by Thomas Blake!
Understanding The New Covenant by Thomas Blake
I also recommend reading this Article by Reggie Kelly
The Eschatology of the Everlasting Covenant by Reggie Kelly
I also recommend this book (The Controversy of Zion) along with Allan Hood, Mike Bickle, Dan Juster, Joel Richardson, Barry Cole, Richard Horner and Reggie Kelly.
With a deep reverence for the Word, a fervent love for the Jewish people, and a burden for the maturity of the Church, Dalton Lifsey has clearly articulated a key prophetic word for this urgent hour. Dalton is a skilled expositor with insight far beyond his years. This is an invaluable book that provides clarity on a number of issues that the Church cannot afford to be ignorant about or indifferent toward, especially as the "time of Jacob's trouble" draws near. I strongly recommend reading it.
