IF the Old Testament (Covenant) &/or New Testament (Covenant) are full of *lies* in your eyes; at best just a series of writings by Hebrews or Jews that have no significance to the church today, consider this ...
1) Jesus only had the Old Testament (Covenant) ... that WAS the soul food He *grew up* on.
2) Jesus, when tempted of the devil, quoted the bible all three times as His sole means of defense, saying:
Mat 4:4 But he answered and said,
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth out of
the mouth of God.
Jesus was quoting partly from, Deu 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Mat 4:7 Jesus said unto him,
It is written again,
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Jesus is partially quoting from, Deu 6:16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him,
Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and
him only shalt thou serve.
Jesus is quoting from here, Deu 6:13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
When we are under demonic attack, this is how we are to defend ourselves, by quoting God's word. It's Jesus, in writing!
And, did you notice??? "It is written" ... He says it many more times, starting with the beginning of His ministry when He partially quotes regarding His mission/ministry (1st coming) from Isaiah 61:1-2:
Luk 4:16-21 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been
brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue
on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was
delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when
he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me
to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the minister,
and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue
were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them,
This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Here Jesus is quoting, in part, Isaiah 61:1-2, which says: The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; {"the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn" speaks of His 2nd coming, which is why He stopped short of saying it}
Even while He was hanging, dying, on the cross, with what little breath He had left He warned them saying:
Mar 15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted,
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
He was telling all that could hear that He was fulfilling prophecy from Psa 22, I post in part:
Psa 22:1-2 [[To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.]] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. {Read ALL of Psa 22, it's prophecy of Jesus on the cross}
And here is even more of Jesus quoting scriptures, "it is written":
Mat 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written,
Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall
prepare thy way before thee. {Speaking of John the baptist}
Mat 21:13 And said unto them,
It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer;
but ye have made it a den of thieves. {Speaking of the temple}
Mat 26:24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him:
but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed!
it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
{Speaking of His betrayal by Judas, his friend}
Mat 26:31 Then saith Jesus unto them,
All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written,
I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be
scattered abroad. {Speaking of the apostles and disciples
abandoning Him the night of His arrest}
Mar 7:6 He answered and said unto them,
Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written,
This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Do you believe you honor Him when you say His word is a lie or that any part of His word is a lie? Is He NOT God that He cannot get His word down to you IN TACT over the millennia?
IS God's word full of lies then? Here's what it has to say in its own defense:
Num 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
2Pe 1:20-21 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.
If you believe any part of the bible contains errors, or lies, then you believe Jesus is a liar and if that's the case then He is not God nor the Son of God because God cannot lie. The ONLY *word* the ancient Hebrews had was what we today call the Old Testament (Covenant), this is what Jesus came to do, be the word manifest to us in the flesh.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:
I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which
I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must
be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in
the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Jhn 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
The OT is alive & well, in Jesus, the word made flesh. If you don't see the perfection and flow between the OT & NT then you are not seeking God with your whole heart. He promised that ...
Deu 4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Pro 8:17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
Jer 29:13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
IF the source of your information is anything BUT the bible, you are searching in the wrong place.
Luk 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Jhn 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Now you have no excuse. BUT, you DO have choice ... choose to believe God's word in its entirety, or choose man's word. Your eternity depends on what you choose because NOT to believe God's word is to call Him (Jesus, God's word made flesh) a liar.
Deu 30:19-20 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
1Ki 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. {Baal, a demonic false god}
Jos 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

11/08/15 ~ TO THE JEWS/ISRAELIS ...
Your Messiah/Meshiach is coming soon, sooner than you think. But this will be His 2nd coming (Judah ben David-Conquering King) since you *missed* His 1st coming (Judah ben Joseph-Suffering Servant). Before you get mad, read and consider ...
.:: PROPHESIED ::.
Deu 32:21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. - Moses/Mosheh {They=Israel & Judah; those that are not a people, a foolish nation=believers in Jesus/Yeshua}
.:: FULFILLED ::.
Rom 10:19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
Rom 11:11 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.
???WHAT PART OF MESSIAH BEING *CUT OFF*, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF ... BEFORE THE TEMPLE WAS TO BE DESTROYED ... DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND???
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. {the prince that shall come shall destroy the city AND the sanctuary=Rome, 70 AD; Jesus-the Messiah=THE Son of God -a Jew of the tribe of JUDAH- taught in Jerusalem from 30-33 AD, BEFORE the temple was destroyed; "cut off"=died, "not for himself"=for His people Israel, who rejected Him as their Messiah, see below for more on this.}
Go ahead, READ ISAIAH 53, PSALM 22, AND DANIEL 9!
Read JOHN 1 in the New Covenant/Testament, I'll post some of it for you ...
Jhn 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Jhn 1:9-14} [That] was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. {His own=Israel.}
"In the beginning" ... "And God said" The LORD, God, spoke everything into existence ... this is the WORD MADE FLESH that came and dwelt among us. If you think God can't, or won't/wouldn't come into His own creation as One of us then your god isn't very big. {"God said" in a lot of places in scripture but as touching "In the beginning", being creation, read HERE, these scriptures are Jesus/Yeshua speaking in your Old Testament/Covenant (Torah)!}
Oh, you want to say the New Testament/Covenant is not of God? Well, let's check your scriptures and see if that's the case ...
Jer 31:31-33 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Psa 22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. {seed=Jesus/Yeshua; him=God the Father; a generation=30 AD - 70 AD, then destruction & dispersion. Jesus' death bought Israel another 40 years to repent of their idolatry, yet they did not acknowledge Him nor repent, which resulted in them being expelled from the land until their partial regathering (Judah first as the scriptures said) and declaration of statehood in 1947.}
His *NEW* covenant rests in the hearts of every believer in Yeshua/Jesus even to this day and until His return! You can be one of those of the New Covenant! You do not have to loose your Jewishness, although you will be rejected (as the Lord was) by your own family, rabbis, etc. But, is a personal relationship with the Living God of all creation worth it? I say He is!
Heb 12:24-27 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Will you be standing, unshaken, when Yeshua/Jesus returns?

READ, WATCH THE VIDEOS, ASK YOUR GOD (OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB) IF THE MESSIAH IS JESUS (YESHUA=SALVATION) ... Stop being led as a slave, like sheep to the slaughter. THE LAMB OF GOD WAS ALREADY SLAIN FOR ALL MANKIND as prophesied in Isaiah 53 & Psalm 22. GOD LOVES YOU! He wants you to know Him, and have a personal relationship with Him!
Think for yourselves, do your own research. Don't rely on your rabbis to tell you of the Messiah, for the most part they don't know Him ... WHY do you think Isaiah 53 is NEVER read in the synagogues??? Or, *if* it is read they tell you it's about Israel - WRONG!
Psa 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

11/06/15 ~ Porters & Watchmen ...
Today's post is inspired by this article ...
http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/53032-george-o-wood-we-don-t-know-the-day-or-hour-but
There is a huge difference between a prophet & a porter/watcher, sometimes a person is both but they can be either/or. Many people that are showing warning signs today are not date setting, they are watching, as instructed. It would be irresponsible for watchers to not alert that this or that time could be *the time*. So much of the church is asleep with regard to the Lord's return.
Even Jesus said in Luk 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? We will not know the day nor the hour that is true, but we will be able to tell the season by watching.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Mat 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Mar 13:33-37 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Eze 33:3-5 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
Eze 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Jonah is a prime example of a watchman (and in his case a prophet) going to a city/people to warn of God's impending judgment. Yet, they repented and God did not destroy them. Jonah was quite upset about it. There are instances where signs show impending doom but God stays His hand for the sake of the repentant of heart, and for those fervently praying for their nations. Even so, the prophesied judgment did happen years later. Not all warnings will bear fruit in the days thought, God is the God of grace after all. But that does not excuse the watchmen from not warning. Porters, man your stations!
If a person warns of the possibility of the Lord's return on one of the Hebrew Holy Days, and it does not come to pass that year they warned in ... it doesn't mean it won't come to pass in a successive year, as was the case with Jonah's warning, and with Jesus' warning. I believe, based on what the Hebrew Feast Days mean, that the Lord will return on one of them.
Jesus has fully fulfilled the first three Hebrew Feasts, which are the first three branches of the Menorah, with the Jews/Israel. We are now at the fourth branch of the Menorah - "the times of the Gentiles" - between Passover, from the counting of the Omer 50 days and the giving of the Holy Spirit to seal us to God, ending in what I believe to be a future resurrection day of the bride of Christ at an upcoming Shavu'ot (the least celebrated holy day for the Jews). In other words, it makes sense to me that since we are still in the "times of the Gentiles", the middle branch of the Menorah, that consummation will happen at the end thereof, 50 prophetic *days* after it started.
I don't have the exact math of how that 50 *days* plays out, or from what year to what year, but if I do figure that out I'll do a new post about it. One possibility is that if, as the Jews believe, 2015-2016 is a year of Jubilee (and btw, they expect their Messiah this year) then we could take either 2015 or 2016 and divide it by 50 (represents *days* of the counting of the Omer between Passover & Shavu'ot) and the result would be about 40 years. So 40 x 50 = 2,000 years, being 40 jubilee periods of 50 years each. It has been about 2015-2016 years since Jesus' birth. At any rate, I will really be keyed in on Shavu'ot from now on. I have written about that elsewhere so I'll not repeat here, scroll down for more of my thoughts on that timing.
Interestingly, Gen 6:3 which says, "And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." can also be calculated the same way: 120 x 50 jubilees = 6,000 years ... coincidence? I think not.
Others think Jesus will return for His bride at the Feast of Tabernacles or the Day of Atonement (at-one-ment). I believe this will actually be for the Jews/Israel and not for the "times of the Gentiles" bride. Once this middle branch of the menorah is completed, I believe, God will once again turn His full attention back to Israel to complete the last three branches/feasts in rapid succession.
Rom 11:25-27 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: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
No *true* watchman/porter is prophesying a specific date. We are simply warning of a potential time and the reasons why it may be. None of us are claiming "thus sayeth the Lord" as is the case with the Lord's prophets. Even when prophets of old spoke, often times the thing spoken of didn't happen right away. Jesus prophesying of the temple's destruction is another example, that didn't occur until some 40 years after His death/resurrection.
If you were entering a building and a porter {watchman/doorkeeper} said to you, "There was a bomb threat on the building today." Would you enter? Don't diss the porters, take heed.
As for me, I will continue to watch ... and warn ... a porter at the door.

There is a huge difference between a prophet & a porter/watcher, sometimes a person is both but they can be either/or. Many people that are showing warning signs today are not date setting, they are watching, as instructed. It would be irresponsible for watchers to not alert that this or that time could be *the time*. So much of the church is asleep with regard to the Lord's return.
Even Jesus said in Luk 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? We will not know the day nor the hour that is true, but we will be able to tell the season by watching.
Mat 24:43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Mat 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Mar 13:33-37 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Luk 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Eze 33:3-5 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
Eze 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Jonah is a prime example of a watchman (and in his case a prophet) going to a city/people to warn of God's impending judgment. Yet, they repented and God did not destroy them. Jonah was quite upset about it. There are instances where signs show impending doom but God stays His hand for the sake of the repentant of heart, and for those fervently praying for their nations. Even so, the prophesied judgment did happen years later. Not all warnings will bear fruit in the days thought, God is the God of grace after all. But that does not excuse the watchmen from not warning. Porters, man your stations!
If a person warns of the possibility of the Lord's return on one of the Hebrew Holy Days, and it does not come to pass that year they warned in ... it doesn't mean it won't come to pass in a successive year, as was the case with Jonah's warning, and with Jesus' warning. I believe, based on what the Hebrew Feast Days mean, that the Lord will return on one of them.
Jesus has fully fulfilled the first three Hebrew Feasts, which are the first three branches of the Menorah, with the Jews/Israel. We are now at the fourth branch of the Menorah - "the times of the Gentiles" - between Passover, from the counting of the Omer 50 days and the giving of the Holy Spirit to seal us to God, ending in what I believe to be a future resurrection day of the bride of Christ at an upcoming Shavu'ot (the least celebrated holy day for the Jews). In other words, it makes sense to me that since we are still in the "times of the Gentiles", the middle branch of the Menorah, that consummation will happen at the end thereof, 50 prophetic *days* after it started.
I don't have the exact math of how that 50 *days* plays out, or from what year to what year, but if I do figure that out I'll do a new post about it.

11/06/15 ~ WHO killed Jesus!?
So ... WHO killed Jesus!? That's the burning question! Some blame the Jews, some blame the Romans, because both were there and participated in His brutal beatings and subsequent death. But does the buck stop there? Was Jesus a *victim*?
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? - Jesus {Mat 26:53-54}
What scripture?
Isa 53:1-12 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he [was] wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither [was any] deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. - Isaiah
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. - Daniel
Did God turn His back on Jesus while He bore our sins on the cross?
Mar 15:34-37 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. - Mark/Jesus
NO! He was telling those that could hear that He was fulfilling Psalm 22 right before their eyes ...
Psa 22:1-31 [[To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.]] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou [art] holy, [O thou] that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying], He trusted on the LORD [that] he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. But thou [art] he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope [when I was] upon my mother's breasts. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou [art] my God from my mother's belly. Be not far from me; for trouble [is] near; for [there is] none to help. Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round. They gaped upon me [with] their mouths, [as] a ravening and a roaring lion. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look [and] stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. My praise [shall be] of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom [is] the LORD'S: and he [is] the governor among the nations. All [they that be] fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul. A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this]. - David
Was Jesus a *victim* or was He in complete control at all times? I believe He answers that ...
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it 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. - Jesus {Jhn 10:14-18}
If you believe the Jews, &/or the Romans, killed Jesus then you need to take a hard look in the mirror because ...
YOU KILLED HIM
I KILLED HIM
ALL MANKIND KILLED HIM
He bore our sins so that we could be freed from them if we so choose.
Deu 30:19-20 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. - Moses
I leave you with these scriptures to consider ...
Mar 10:32-34 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. - Mark/Jesus
Isa 45:21-23 Tell ye, and bring [them] near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? [who] hath told it from that time? [have] not I the LORD? and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else. I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear. - Isaiah
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. - Jesus {Jhn 5:39}
God's word, the Bible, is TRUE in it's entirety ... it is Jesus in writing, just as Jesus is the Word made flesh!
Jhn 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. - John
Jhn 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. - John
