Ben Netanyahu and the Metaphorical Third Temple

 

I was listening to a feed on Facebook from SIA. Ben Netanyahu was speaking of it being the eve of Tish B'Av and the commemoration of the destruction of Temple. He followed a narrative which seemed to focus on the nation of Israel being a metaphorical Third Temple and praised the generation of heroes who had preserved her in the current war against her enemies.

 

It brought me to think about what I really feel about Israel. Do I agree with what they did to the Palestinians and the Gaza Strip? Do I love the nation of Israel and the israelites? Do I believe that Israel is the nation of the tanakh? Am I prepared to accept the cost of saying yes to all of that when it is becoming deeply unpopular to express those sentiments.

 

The answer is that while the action against Gaza and the war with Iran are questionable. Yes I do believe that the current nation of Israel is the people of God's Word. I do love them and I know that God will preserve them. There is a caveat on their actions though and that is that they do not believe that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah and until they repent they will not receive the blessings and complete fufilment of God's promises that are prophesied for them.

 

As to the jackals that are assembling around Israel with the intention of invading the land and destroying God's people. They can say what they like and pitch the narrative as they please. God will protect Israel and the schemes of her enemies will amount to nothing but empty dreams and their personal destruction.

 

At the end of this age comes judgement on all the world. Those who oppose God will come to stand against him and in that day they will perish and then Jesus Christ will return to establish His Eternal Kingdom. Those who witness His return and who are not His will seek to hide themselves from His presence.

 

Revelation 19:19  "And I saw the beast, the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army." NKJV

 

Revelation 6:16 "And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” NKJV

 

Thus those who find Christ Jesus among the gentiles and believe on His redemptive work on the Cross at Calvary will receive eternal life and be grafted into the Olive Tree that is Israel. While those who receive the Messiah and are Israelites will receive all the promises that God made to Abraham their forefather. Come Lord Jesus

Unsettled Times - Return of the King

 

 

I used to think that the era of the nineteen sixties was an idyllic political era. I was young and in those days Pakeha New Zealand leaned to the right and voted National for the most part. The enemy was communism and the most hated people in the world were those who supported communism, namely the governments of the USSR, Cuba and China.

In New Zealand there was a well known communist figure that the media and the police harassed without mercy. He was lampooned in the papers and arrested with little regard to his rights as a citizen. Looking back, I wonder whether he was a real threat at all or if he actually played the part of a national villain in the media to give the national psyche a focus on what constituted social evil.

Over the last five decades socialism and liberalism have replaced facism and conservatism as the ideologies of choice and although the national psyche retains the same types of place holders. Those who hold those places have gradually changed to be the exact opposite of what they were in those haloed days of memory.

Whereas, the communist ideology and nations were the enemy of old. Today,Trump’s America and Christianity are the enemy of the working class. Whereas the national villain of New Zealand was a communist now he is the Christian, Brian Tamaki. Now, instead of representing a political party, the villain leads a religious organisation called Destiny Church.

Christianity is derided wherever possible in New Zealand and one need only mention the Gloriavale saga to symbolise the insanity that is seen to be contained in Christianity. This narrative combined with evolutionary humanism is used to denigrate the very idea of Christian faith. Rather than a rapid change from conservative to liberal philosophy there has been a gradual reeducation of the population over the last fifty years.

Many people have pointed to George Orwell’s novel Nineteen Eighty Four as being prophetic of the way in which Global powers have gained the ability, largely through control of the news media, to seize control of the popular narrative and to reeducate the masses from one political spectrum to the other. One can only speculate as to how fast this could be achieved but they have tended to take the long road. Gradualism would seem to have been their preferred mode of choice.

Probably the most interesting thing about this situation is that just as the villains of the past were portrayed as being insane. So, today the villains of modern society are portrayed as being equally mad. Take Trump for example. As a young man, he was a wealthy philanderer and womaniser. He was a successful business man and hung out with the rich and famous, but not many people would have considered him a future President of the United States.

In New Zealand, Brian Tamaki presides over a radical sect of Christianity and his discourse varies from sound conservative ideology to a near lunatic fringe diatribe. The same is the case with the political leaders of the right in New Zealand. Both Seymour and Peters range in their conversation from common sense to ideological extremism.

So is it fair to ask the question then. “ Is it by happenstance that the powers that control our government and institutions seem to be type casting the characters that play the public roles in our society?” Is it alright to say that these religious and political role players may not believe what they are saying but they stick to the narrative that they have been given because it would not benefit them to diverge from it. 

Can we speculate that ultimately, this will lead to a battle, in the Western world, between the supporters of the right and the left of the political spectrum. At the moment the right have won power and seem intent on blending Church and State and reviving Christianity. Men from Trump’s cabinet like Hegseth, Vance, Cruz and Rubio appear to be strong proponents of dominionist theology and the theories of Doug Wilson and CREC. I believe it is likely that this would eventually result in the reemergence of Roman Catholicism and the power of the Pope, both in America and globally, even though the movement is largely Protestant initially.

On the other hand, the left, if victorious, would put their power behind the nation of China and the World Economic Forum. Citing the model of China as a modern communist power blending the Buddhist and Pagan religious ideologies with socialist political philosophy. Creating a society where being a good and productive citizen is one who works hard to make sane work and life choices to the benefit of the nation. This of course would address issues like climate change, global over population and creating a communist utopian paradise for seemingly everyone but actually the global elite.

Finally, we come to what the bible has to say about all of this? Revelation chapter 17 verses 1-7 describes a scene that was shown to the apostle John and which unfolds in the End Times.

“Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of sexual immorality, and those who live on the earth became drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality.” 3 And he carried me away [a]in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and [b]adorned with gold, precious [c]stones, and pearls, holding in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her sexual immorality, 5 and on her forehead a name was written, [d]a mystery: “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” 6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the [e]saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered [f]greatly. 7 And the angel said to me, “Why [g]do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns…”

So, to link this to the current events we look at Trump’s America, and the current right wing shift in the Western World, away from the neo-liberalism and socialism back toward Facism and a more conservative ideology with a traditional Judeo Christian base. This would see the Roman Catholic Church and Papal Authority reinstated into a Church State as existed before the Reformation.

Rome would become the dominant power of the Western World and and with the exception of Russia, China and the Middle East would control most of the globe. Honestly though, through the Jesuits they already control the planet and what is happening in the United States with Trump and Vance is just making it official. Rome is Babylon the Great, The Mother of Prostitutes and of the Abominations of the Earth mentioned in the scripture.

The description given to the apostle John continues. Revelation chapter 17 verse 15-18:

15 And he *said to me, “The waters which you saw where the prostitute sits are peoples and multitudes, and nations and languages. 16 And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire. 17 For God has put it in their hearts to execute His [k]purpose [l]by having a common purpose, and by giving their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be fulfilled. 18 The woman whom you saw is the great city, which [m]reigns over the kings of the earth.”

Just when Rome is feeling secure God will allow the Ten Horn Kings and the Beast to destroy the Great Harlot - Rome. What is left of the population of the Earth will then worship the Beast or be put to death. Whether the Beast government is communist in ideology is a moot point but it will certainly be pagan.

The Beast gets three and a half years to reign over the Earth and His dominion is ended at the Battle of Armageddon. When he and his followers assemble to battle the returning King of Kings, Jesus Christ. Jesus then returns and establishes the Kingdom of God and that is the end of the Church Age.

The Coming World Government

Many are concerned about the activities of President Donald Trump and the action of the United States military in their actions against Iran. Their concerns are well founded. No nation wants to find itself on the wrong side of the United States lest they get reduced to rubble in the same way as happened to both Iraq and Syria. Iran would seem to be next in line for destruction.

The question is why? Not being an expert in world affairs I cannot definitively say but in the case of Iraq, Syria and Iran there would seem to be several possible reasons for the actions of the United States over the last twenty five years. Including the current campaign against Iran.

Firstly, the United States is consolidating control of the world’s oil and mineral resources. Secondly, they are seeking to place puppet regimes in place that will follow United States direction and geopolitical policies. Thirdly, they are seeking to establish permanent military resources in the region. Fourthly, they are seeking to embroil Russia and China in a war involving their ally, Iran. Fifthly, they are purposely destroying the investments of Russian and China in Iran. Sixthly, they are seeking to destroy Iranian military technology and the manufacturing base for their drones and missiles. Finally, globalists are seeking to bring about a third and final world war which would remove the three super powers and establish a world government based in Europe. The New World Order.

I think that one perspective on the current world situation that most people miss is that the worlds politicians are a part of the agenda but not the most powerful part of it. People like Joe Biden and Donald Trump seem to be calling the shots when they are in power. They say controversial things and make important decisions but much of their rhetoric is just grandstanding for the public. Often they are working in lock step with the news media to move public opinion. If we look at the United States in the last ten years a lot of the presidential discourse has been divisive. That dialogue has broken the nation into factions and at times it has led the people close to civil war.

The agenda though is a background operation run by the Deep State. In the United States there are a number of financial and political organisations that use their power to form the agenda for one purpose. To create one world government. What we have now is a loose knit world order under the United Nations. What these people seek is a united, one world government that is strong, robust and which would bring the rule of all nations under one political structure and allow a largely unknown hegemony to control the resources and the lives of the citizens at their whim.

The Deep State is global and what the bible calls the Mystery of Iniquity can be found in organisations around the world. All seeking to recreate what was made once in the episode called Babel. Where a united society sought to build a tower the reached to heaven and united society that had one God and style of worship and that God was Satan.

The society that the Deep State seek to bring into being will be pagan and Satanic. Most people have heard of the book of Revelation and the Mark of the Beast where followers will have to take the mark on the right hand and forehead to buy or sell. It will finally come into being in a time known in the bible as the Tribulation. A time of seven years of war and judgement which will see the super powers levelled and the Beast’s World Government come to power.

Revelation 13:16-17 “And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.” NASB

So, to those looking at the actions of world leaders like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu and Xi Jinping and wondering what they are thinking. Realise that they are following a carefully choreographed plan of action that is much more closely aligned than it appears. Yes they have some autonomy and if one gained the ascendency they might play a greater part in the final world empire but the end game has been described in Bible prophecy from the beginning. Ultimately all other empires will fall and in the end there will be only one, the Beast’s kingdom. The book of Revelation describes what will happen in that time, in chapters six through to eighteen, and then immediately after will come the Second Coming of Jesus Christ in glory.

Revelation 19:11-16 “And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

How Can We Fix This

  

 

The News Narrative

Trump invades Venezuela and abducts their president; Trump begins a dialogue about acquiring Greenland and threatens to invade Greenland; Trump has a friendlier dialogue with Putin than seems appropriate; Trump sends the National Guard to states with left-wing governments to counter Antifa; Trump is restructuring the defense of the United States to counter Russia and China; Trump wants to be an oligarch. Trump is a big part of our news world.

Putin talks to the Western Press in forum style events; Putin started the Ukraine War; Putin’s Russia is highly militaristic; Putin has China, North Korea; Iran; India in his sphere of influence; Putin is courting Europe in the space that Trump is making for him in the argument over Greenland; Putin through Medvedev has offered for Greenland to join Russia - Greenland would be the ideal southern base Putin’s Russia needs for their fleet; Putin is a big part of our news world.

Xi Jinping's China seeks to be the most powerful country in the world; China seeks to expand it's boundaries and influence; China persecutes those who don't follow it's internal philosophies - Christians , Uyghurs; China seeks to intervene in other countries governments; China controls its citizens in other countries; China and Russia work together to oppose the West; China uses North Korea to achieve some of its aims. China is a big part of our national and international news world.

Iran is an extreme Islamic state; Turkey would like to work with Iran to erase Israel; Although Iran are Shiite Muslim rather then Sunni Muslim like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the Emirates they are a focus of aggression against Israel; Iran have aspirations to acquire and use nuclear weapons and share technology with other actors like North Korea; Iran are vocal in their hatred for the United States and Christianity; Iran actively support terrorist organisations; Irans people are rising against the Mullahs and the Republican Guard.  Iran is a big part of our world news.

Israel and Ben Netanyahu have retaliated against the Palestinian incursion on October 7th 2023; Israel has brought air strikes against Gaza; Israel have brought troops against Gaza; Israel have killed men, women and children in Gaza; The world court have indicted Ben Netanyahu for committing genocide against the Palestinians; Europe have accused Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinians. Israel and Ben Netanyahu are a big part of our world news.

Liberalism is producing extreme left wing political groups in the West like Antifa; Liberalism is using a rights based agenda to control the narrative in our national and international news; Liberalism is seeking to silence those who speak against the left wing narrative; Liberalism has provoked a right wing back lash which threatens national stability in some countries; Communist Liberalism can reach out to persecute members of certain states around the world (China does this to its nationals). Liberalism is opposed to Christianity, the family and christian values around the globe; Liberalism finds a fast friend in Islam. Liberalism is a big part of our world news.

Climate Change is happening in front of our very eyes. Last week Australia was burning; Last week Australia was having a cyclone and flooding; This week New Zealand is flooding as a tropical storm comes our way – up to 300mm of rain in 24 hours; Everywhere we look in the world – Fires in Europe; Extreme record temperatures; Storms, Floods; Tornadoes. This could also be what Jesus Christ predicted as the time of birth pangs in Matthew Twenty Four. Man made Climate Change is a big part of our world news.

So, what is this all about? Well particularly in the West we are a part of a global family. Now, more than at any time in the past we share the concerns of people around the world about the things we see happening on our national and world news. This concerns us, we worry for the future. What if Trump causes the fall of Europe. What if climate change destroys our civilisation. What if Putin launches a nuclear strike. What if Israel causes a war in the middle east with Iran and Islam. How do we stop the persecution of Christians and other minority groups. How can we right all the wrongs in this world. Why don’t the worlds leaders seem to want to work together to sort out all of the worlds problems. Why are they so weak in the face of Trump and Putin?

There has to be an answer right? There must be some way in 2026 that we can fix all of this? Well the powers that be have spoken for decades about a New World Order. It has been spoken about as though it is already here but it isn’t really. A world government would be like a world senate with every government in the world represented on the basis of population size. There would be no more Trump, Putin or Ben Netanyahu. This government would rule over the world. There would be no wars except with those who rise up against the central government. Think ancient Rome and how they sent armies to conquer and put down rebellion. Decisions would be made about issues like climate change and the optimal world population size. Freedom of choice would quite likely depend on how aligned your personal world view is with the State world view. It wouldn’t be free of corruption – Far from it! It wouldn’t be perfect and the elite would have total control of the world ???

I believe. I mean that I am a Christian and I know enough about bible prophecy to know that the end of the age and judgment is coming to all the world. Now reckon with this, more than at anytime since the anti-diluvian world – the first age of man. The world we live in is a connected world. It is possible to know about Putin and Russia. It is possible to know about the United States, Europe, Iran and Israel, in a way that has never been possible in the past. So in this time we can see the prophecies of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Revelation being acted out on this world before our very eyes. In this time we have seen the regathering of the nation of Israel. This time is pointing to the last days of this the Church age.

What you’re seeing is the preparation to restructure the global control system and the bring to power a government system so dark that it will make Hitler’s Germany look like a group of boy scouts. All in the name of climate change and the need to stabilise the future of mankind but ultimately the final act of a war between good and evil, between Satan and God. The last act before the second coming of Jesus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of God.

Romans chapter ten verses eight through ten:

“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved, for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.”

Israel: Who are these people?

 

There is a question about the nation of Israel in 2025. Who are these people? Simply stated Israel is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy that their nation would be regathered by God in the last days. For instance Isaiah 11 verse 12 says this "He will raise a signal for the nations and will assemble the banished of Israel, and gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth." and Jeremiah 31 verse 10 says this “Hear the word of the Lord, O nations, and declare it in the coast-lands far away; say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock."

In 1948 these prophecies were finally fulfilled and Israel was restored to the land of Palestine which was the land that God gave them nearly 3000 years ago. Over the past eighty years the nations of Islam have risen against Israel and there has been continual war including the campaign against Gaza that the IDF are waging at the moment. Many in the world consider this to be genocide and it might well be.

 

Many Christians support Israel in this campaign but I would hasten to remind them that Israel is not a Christian nation and they are waging this war as Israel under the Law of Moses not as Christians under the name of Jesus Christ. If they were to repent then I believe that God would intervene. In fact, in the book of Revelation there is a depiction of Israel fleeing from the dragon into the desert where God hides her.

 

This is the remnant of Israel who accept Jesus Christ as their messiah in the coming tribulation. They are led to flee in that time and God protects them from Satan. They are kept safe until the end of the seven years of the day of judgement are completed and Christ returns in victory to establish the Kingdom of God.

 

This will be the Second Coming of Jesus. Come Lord Jesus!

World Current Events using Copilot

 

 

 

US🕊️ Charlie Kirk assassinated. 🇳🇿✊ Tens of thousands march in Auckland for Palestine.
Two nations. Two flashpoints. One aching world.

America reels from political violence. New Zealand rises in protest against genocide in Gaza. The headlines scream division, rage, and grief.

But in the chaos, one truth still stands:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son…” — John 3:16

Not just the righteous. Not just the peaceful.
He loved the world—the broken, the angry, the grieving.
Charlie Kirk. Tyler Robinson. The children of Gaza. The leaders of Israel.
All of us.

Justice matters. Truth matters. But so does grace.
So does redemption.
So does love.

Let’s not just react. Let’s reflect.
Let’s not just rage. Let’s repent.
Let’s not just march. Let’s move toward mercy.

Because even in the darkest hour, the cross still casts light. ✝️

#CharlieKirk #Gaza #John316 #FaithInAction #HopeInChaos #AotearoaForPalestine

I thought I'd see what Copilot would come up with about the events over the last few days. I input the Charlie Kirk situation and the Gaza protests along with a short roll call focused on John 3:16. It's a bit rough but kind of awesome at the same time. 

The Gospel in the End Times

 

You only have to look at how we do business in this time to realise that the world is much more connected place now. An example is how recently Mr Trump says he wants Greenland for the United States. Mr Trump then conducts negotiations with Greenland on social media. Thus the daily business of the world is conducted on the news media or on social media and is instantly accessible to everyone.

The same goes for Klaus Schwabe and the World Economic Forum and the proposals that he has to confront climate change by societal manipulation and controls to reduce the world’s population. He herald’s China’s current regime and it’s modern approach to produce good citizenry using AI and CCTV to observe the actions of the people as they live their lives. Good citizens are rewarded by the state while the non compliant are penalised. One only needs to search the Internet for WEF to divine Schwabe’s intentions for the future of mankind.

When the Antichrist is ruling the world and demanding that everyone takes the mark to buy and sell. He will communicate through the news media and social media, or maybe the bulk of the population will be connected to the Internet through biotechnology. In that case he would be able to speak directly to nearly everyone in the world at the same time.

However, even though this would normally be the point of this article. My main reason for writing this piece is that people don’t repent because of fear of the End Times. They repent when they hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and recognise that they are sinners in need of salvation.

The reason that I say this is that the Christian narrative is a different one to the End Times narrative. The condensed narrative of the End Times is “Repent because this is the end of days and judgement is coming.” The condensed Christian narrative is Romans 6:23 “The wages of sin is death but the freely given gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ, our Lord.”

Unlike the religions that believe in reincarnation, Christianity teaches this is one short life devoted to finding the Christian narrative. The purpose of this life is to realise that there is one creator God and that mankind is separated from Him by our unrighteous actions.

In order to remedy this separation between himself and mankind. God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, Jesus Christ, to be the sacrifice for the sins of mankind. Such that whoever believes on Him shall not perish but inherit eternal life. Thus, to gain eternal life and not to perish every member of mankind needs to make a decision. Believe on Jesus Christ unto salvation or reject Christ Jesus and perish in the second, eternal death.

The point is that there is one creator God, Yahweh Elohim and there is one deceiver, Satan the devil. Their are literally thousands upon thousands of other false deities and many false religions competing for the worship of mankind in Satan’s dark kingdom. The fact is that in each generation only a remnant of mankind will find Yahweh’s only begotten Son, Yeshua, and obtain salvation by believing on His redemptive work on the cross at Calvary. The question is will you be a part of the remnant and live forever in the Kingdom of God?
