Yeshua Wanted John the Baptist to Focus on the Resurrection THE SAME AS HE DOES US!

 "the blind see and the lame walk, those with tzara’at are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised and the poor have good news proclaimed to them."  Matthew 11:5

Luke 7:22 "And answering, He said to them, “Go report to John what you saw and heard: the blind see, the lame walk, those with tzara’at are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news proclaimed to them."

If you look at the account of that day, no one was raised from the dead.  In the series, "The Chosen" Yeshua states specifically to the disciples of John, "Oh and tell him the dead are raised also." IMO this is a coded and very merciful, message to John -- "There is no lasting hope in this evil age, but all your hope and my message in this coming is, The Kingdom is Coming and Resurrection after death in this evil age is the path to that Kingdom."  "John, my beloved cousin, you don't have to "look for another" but you do have to take all your hope out of this evil age and transfer it to the Kingdom to come"

"I will rule from Jerusalem, I will be in control of the Kingdom on this earth, but there are two comings, one now, and one at the Day of the Lord."

I Will Die

 When and only when God Most High, the Lord God of Israel, determines that it is time.  

My life is in His hands.

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!

Target

 I have avoided being 

UP FRONT

 at the Messiah's Community that I regularly attend on Sundays.

Avoided it like the plague. 

Somehow I was nominated for the position of Deacon, and somehow that means I am now a part of a rotation that will put me up front about every 7 or 8 weeks.

I pray and hope that I only say and do what God has for me when I am put in that place.

It s a heavy weight and a heavy responsibility and if you do it in a way that is faithful and true to the Most High God you 

WILL

piss off the principalities and power

sure enough, before I even left the building,

 it started, the inevitable attack.

Pray for your Pastor, 

if He is proclaiming the true gospel, as ours is, he is a target that the principalities and powers will be working overtime to silence, they are very aware that there time is short and getting shorter.

enjoy my Pastor's message it is 100% truth about the gospel of the God of Israel!

This is his summary of a recent series.

If Israel As A Nation Has No Hope, I Have No Hope

 It really is as simple as that. Israel is God's portion, He called Abraham and made him a nation, while allowing the other 70 nations to go the way of their choosing under gods that are not God Most High.

Israel is called His son.  Israel is called His beloved bride.  

Do you think He could have a plan that included the rejection of His son or His bride?

The gift and the calling are irrevocable!  That is a beautifully, strong and sovereign word.

Our hope is based on His grace and mercy.  Israel's hope is based on His grace and mercy.

I am thanking the God of Israel today that my hope is sure.

Israel

 The bride to the Bridegroom.

The son to the Father.

The Gomer to Hosea.

The King to His beloved.

Oh what joy to be a part of the recognition, the reunion, the restoration of all things.
