First Love

First Love

Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus. To all who love the word of God.

I think that we are all called by the Lord to some special purpose in life. My calling is to help Isreal in whatever way I can wether it be through prayer or works.

As for this web site, I am trying to share this revelation that I received from the Lord with as many as can receive it. In that way there will be more and more people that not only pray for but rejoice(Isa:66:10)in the receiving of the Jewish people.

That being said, I would like to ask you a question: When was the last time, if ever, that you or your church specifically prayed for the Jewish people?

My answer is,"I can't think of one." It's the kind of thing that gets me wondering,"Why not? ...with all prayers going out to people all over the world, everyday." After all, are they not the ones, as the apostle Paul says brought us the oracles (Rom:3:2)of God? Do we not all owe them a debt of gratitude for their part in living out the very word of God (as it is written) for our learning(Rom:15:4)?

You know the Christian faith rest on the promise made to Abraham and his seed after him. God told him that whoever blesses them, he will bless and whoever curses them, he curse. Which leads me to say this:

"God bless Israel and the Jewish people and my God. Take away their blindness so that they can see Jesus their messiah so that they can be grafted back in again(Rom:11:23).In the name of Jesus. Amen."

So what shall happen to Israel (Gods chosen)?

Rom:11:7: What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded. 8: (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

Israel has not obtained that which he seeketh (which is Christ) because of their unbelief. So, the bible says Israel has not just fallen for no reason, but for our sakes.

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.

So, Israel has fallen because of sin, but also for our sakes and our salvation.

Rom:11:30: For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: Rom:11:31: Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

Through their fall we are saved.

Rom:11:12: Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13: For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 14: If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them 15: For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

The apostle Paul tells us in Rom:11:12--Rom:11:15 that the fall of them is the riches and reconciliation of the world. It goes on to say,"just think what the receiving of them will be."

In other words, we should try to imagine what great things would come out of their being received. He certainly implies hear life from the dead. In fact, it sounds like life from the dead (rapture) is in wait of their being receiving.

This idea is further confirmed by Jesus in Mat:23:37--39 Jesus telling Jerusalem, "Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord."

In other words Jesus is not coming back till the Jewish people, the ones that were left desolate, are believers in him.

Mat:23:37: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! 38: Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39: For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

But the Jews also are in wait of the gentiles in Rom:11:25--26 Paul says that they are blinded until the fulness of the Gentiles come to Jesus.

Rom:11:25: 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. 26: 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:

The apostle Paul shows us a mystery, conceits, self-centeredness and pride are hindering us from seeing the whole truth. It is only when we set these things aside that we can truly understand. For we all know that Jesus is the way ,the truth, and the life. There is no other way .

Jn:14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

If there is no other way, will God keep Israel in blindness and forsake them? Or, will Jesus, in time, reveal himself to them ?

Rom:11:26: 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:

I now believe that if we are able to tear down these old walls that were built so long ago, that we will come into a deeper understanding of the word of God. Things that we have read over for years, in both old and new testament, will start to stand out and make more sense. All the division in the body of Christ will disapear, so that we all (Jew and Gentile) will be working together toward the same goal.

So Brother, if I could get you to try something, it would be to try reading this clip from Hosea 3RD chapter with this idea in mind: First of all, the end is not going to come until our Jewish brothers return to the Lord. Let's remember that they are inwait of our fullness to come in. When are fullness comes in, the Jewish people will return. Then we are going to work together(Jew and Gentile), united as one in the spirit, to finish the work that has been put before us.

Hosea:3rd chapter
the living bible paraphrased

Then the Lord said to me, "Go,and get your wife agin and bring her back to you and love her, even thogh she loves adultery. For the Lord still loves Israel though she has turned to other gods and offered them choice gifts."

So I bought her [back from her slavery] for a couple of dollars and eight bushels of barley, and I said to her, "You must live alone for many days; do not go out with other men nor be a prostitute, and I will wait for you."

This illustrates the fact that Israel will be a long time without a king or prince, and without an altar, temple, priests, or even idols!

Afterward they will return to the Lord their God, and to the Messiah, their King, and they shall come tembling, submissive to the Lord and to his blessings, in the end times.

So than it is up to all of us in Christ Jesus to pray for Israel, for the rest of the world also, but in particularly for the Jewish people. I would like to see the whole church unite together, as one, to pray to God for his "First Love".

And let us all keep this thought in mind, Jesus must remain in heaven until the time in which all things are to be restored

Acts:3:20: And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:21: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

Amen.
God bless you all.

This web page is dedicated to the truth of the scriptures, from both old and new Testament. It is a compilation of scriptures throughout the bible. Each section, or group of scriptures, is being compiled to bring to light the meaning of a particular subjects. For example, the second group is of the married wife and how God referred to his relationship to Israel.
The site will go in order from beginning to end. So the order could change from time to time as more sections and scriptures are added. All new scriptures will first be added to the new stuff section.

This is a study of the scriptures, using all available means, to reveal the truth about what is going on in the world and what is to come of the world in the future. I pray that, through careful study and prayer, all things may be revealed. This is not a finished work. Everyone is invited to send in any ideas or suggestions that they think might add to this study.

In Faith, Hope and love
