THE RELAY RACE


THE RELAY RACE

                It was messianic Jews that took the Gospel of the kingdom to the entire would of the first century and I believe that God has raised up the Messianic Jews at this most critical time in earth’s history to carry the baton to the finish line.

                There were some good foundational understandings of Bible prophecy established in the 19th century, but most of this teaching was based upon a foundation of replacement theology. One can hardly blame them since Israel returning to its own land in the 1800s seemed highly unlikely and since most of Protestantism had come out of Catholic teaching, replacement theology was very hard to shake even for the best of them.

                Even with the advent of the return of Israel much of the church has been very slow to embrace the revelations that must come from such a miracle. But it is the solid truth and Israel, for better or for worse is fulfilling every last day biblical prophecy with deadly accuracy.  Nineteenth century prophecy has served us well up to a point, but God has raised up Messianic Jews in these last days to carry the baton home.

                One may ask why this might be, but we have to understand that the entire New Testament was derived and taught from the Hebrew Scriptures. We must take our clues on this from Jesus Himself as Luke tells us:

                “And beginning with Moses and with all the prophets He (Yeshua) explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.” Luke 24:27

                And again in Luke 24:44, 45 Jesus said: These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled. Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.”

                This then must be the paradigm by which all Bible prophecy must be understood. The book of Revelation is framed within the imagery of the Sanctuary and the Feast Days (Moedim) and these truths were buried by the popes as they changed times and laws, couching everything Christian in a pagan framework. So the church has largely run blind as far as end time prophecy is concerned and while there was a great awakening of Biblical prophecy in the 19th century; God has stepped in to open our minds to understand the Scriptures just as Yeshua did. This time He is preparing us for His soon return.

                With the return of Israel to their land, as promised over and over again in the Hebrew Scriptures, the end times have begun and now, as I have said, God is raising up Messianic Jews with an understanding of both Hebrew and New Testament scriptures to unveil the final mysteries of the last days. This is not some petty doctrinal argument on my part, nor do I cast dispersion upon those great prophetic teachers that came before. What I am saying is that this has been God’s plan all along and it is the final fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham that through Him all the nations of the earth would be blessed.

                So I would like to introduce you to a few of the Messianic Jewish prophets and Rabbis that are rocking our world today and paving a way for Bible Prophecy students to gain a greater grasp of God’s plans leading up to the return of Yeshua. But first let me say that Jesus fulfilled the Spring Feasts right down to the day and the hour at His first coming and we have every reason to believe that He will fulfill the Fall feasts just as accurately at His second coming. So a quick summary would be:

1.       The Feast of Trumpets deals with the multifaceted issues surrounding the Rapture, or catching away of the Bride to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

2.       The Day of Atonement has to do with the multifaceted issues concerning judgment of men and of nations.

3.       The Feast of Tabernacles deals with the millennial reign of Christ on earth when He will rule the nations with a rod of iron from Jerusalem, the City of the Great King. It speaks of a time when Yeshua will tabernacle with us once again in the restoration of all things.

                So here are a few Messianic teachers that are opening up the eyes of the world today”

RABBI MARK BILTZ: Is the pastor of a congregation in Tacoma Washington called El Shaddai Ministries. It was he who discovered the tetrad of blood moons that occurred on the Feast Days of Passover and Sukkot (Tabernacles) in 2014 and 2015. This woke us up to the importance of the Feast Days as they apply to last day prophecies and let us understand that when blood moons and solar eclipses occur on Feast Days they serve as God’s Moedim. (Signs and seasons of prophetic importance.) Mark is an excellent teacher on the Feast Days and much more. He has published books and is available on the internet and in many prophetic seminars around the world.

RABBI STEVEN BenNun AND HIS WIFE JANA: (Pronounced Yana) are uniquely prepared by God to teach Bible Prophecy from the Hebrew Scriptures. Steven is fluent in Hebrew and he unravels for us many of the Old Testament Prophecies that are coming true in our day. He also spends part of his time in Israel where he reasons with the Jews using Hebrew Scriptures to prove that Yeshua is the Messiah. He also runs a daily commentary of world events on his website, “Israeli News Live.”

                Steven and Jana also spend some time in the United States because Steven was born here, and they also spend time in the Czech Republic where Jana was born. Jana is fluent in Russian and several of the Slavic languages and so they are uniquely positioned to tell us what is happening in that part of the world and in Israel that is never reported on main stream news. From his perspective Steven sees the Vatican as the hand in the glove that is seeking control of Jerusalem and one is of the key manipulators and fomenters of war that is paving the way for the antichrist to rule globally.

RABBI AMIR TSARFATI: Is new to me, but Bonnie and I have recently been blown away by his clear and concise assessment of world events as they are unfolding on the world stage. Amir lives in Israel and He too ministers among the Jews. I have never heard a clearer understanding of prophecies and the events that are currently fulfilling them. He has a ministry on the internet called “Olive Tree Ministries”

RABBI JONATHAN CAHN: Is a Messianic Prophet that woke the world and particularly the United States up to the harbingers of judgment that America is fulfilling with every bad decision and godless law. He speaks with passion and power. He spoke unashamedly before Congress a few years back with one of the most powerful and straight forward messages that our Government has ever heard. Jonathan is known worldwide as a prophet in our day, not by claiming that he is a prophet, but simply because he is one and He is waking up the world to a Hebrew perspective of Yeshua in last day events.

                Jonathan also made us aware of the Sh’mitahs, the 7 year land rest cycles crated by God, but ignored by the world. These 7 year cycles seem to have an uncanny connection to the rise and the fall of national economies, especially America’s.

Jonathan has an internet ministry called “Hope of the World Ministries.Org.”

RABBI ZEV PORAT: Is a wonderful humble man that Bonnie and I recently met at a Bible Prophecy conference in Boise Idaho. He lives in Israel and pastors a Messianic Congregation there as well as ministering on the Streets of Jerusalem reasoning with Jews, both nonbelieving and Orthodox, proving to them from the Hebrew Scriptures that Yeshua was and is the Messiah of Israel. Many times the Holy Spirit opens their eyes and many Jews are coming to Christ through His ministries in Israel and many Bible prophecy students are gaining His understanding of the times in which we now live. Rabbi Porat has an internet ministry called, “Messiah of Israel Ministries.” You will be abundantly blessed and informed by his ministry.

JONATHAN BERNICE:     There are many other Messianic Rabbis, teachers and singers that are having a profound affect in awakening the world to the soon return of Yeshua. Jonathan Bernice, of Jewish voice Ministries is regularly seen on TV around the world. He teaches the Feast Days and is a voice for Jews around the world and especially those who are returning to Israel as per God’s instructions for the last days.

PAUL WILBUR:  Has a prophetic music ministry and he holds musical concerts all over the world. Bonnie and I love His Messianic Music for its power and beauty            as well as its prophetic substance. We attended one of his concerts in the Seattle area and we were blessed by His wonderful music as well as his substantive comments between some of the songs.

                Truly God is raising up an army of last day prophets and teachers and of course there are a number of Gentile Christian prophecy teachers as well, who, because of their understanding of the unique role of Jews and their feasts and such are also opening the eyes of the world. Perry Stone, Chuck Missler and many others are joining in the final moves of God as we approach the tribulation.

                We can learn much from all of these teachers. Even with their differing viewpoints they have much to bring to the table and much that we can learn.

                One of the key new understandings that have come out of a Hebrew understanding of Scripture is the idea that we will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air where we will enjoy the marriage supper of the Lamb with Yeshua in heaven for either 3 ½ years, or 7 years depending on the viewpoint, but then the saints will return with Yeshua at His second coming and we will rule and reign with Him for 1000 years on earth. This opens up New Testament texts that we had been blind to before we knew this such as Revelation 20:4 and Rev. 2:26, 27 and 1 Thess. 4:14 and 1 Thess. 3:13 for starters.

                Please try to understand that I am never attempting to be dogmatic about my views. I consider myself to be a student rather than a teacher. We have a desperate need to expand our understanding of last day events and to wake up to what is going on in the world. We are literally knocking on the door of the Tribulation and yet most of the church is asleep, while others, presuming to have the whole truth concerning the last days, are leaning on prophetic views that are missing major pieces of the puzzle.

                Foundations are not meant to be despised, but to be built upon. We do not criticize our forefathers. They made marvelous and wonderful discoveries in their day as the Holy Spirit opened up the scriptures to their understanding. In their day it was rightly called “Present Truth.”  But prophecy is also progressive, ever unfolding as the day approaches. Some things we will not fully understand until they actually happen according to Yeshua. Mark 13:29. But it is important to study these things now so that when they do come to pass we will recognize them

                The biggest tragedy of our day is that most Christians have abandoned the study of Bible prophecy. Much of their truth has become circular and self-serving as they settle into Babylon. It is time to wake up and come out and trim your lamps and to prepare for the Bridegroom’s return, for it is indeed one minute to midnight. And I believe that God has raised up the Messianic Jewish Christians to carry the baton to the finish line. They started it and they will finish it.

                Many blessings to you in the name of Yeshua, our Lord and soon coming Savior.
