Understanding The Jewish Wedding Process

August 16, 2023 – 7:07 am
Below is the process passed down over the last 3,800 years. If you will take time to read this, you will better understand the preciseness of the entire Bible and how the wedding process is currently playing out: “For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready. …  Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!”  (Revelation 19:7, 9) Wedding-ring Jewish wedding bands are often inscribed with Ani L’Dodi V’Dodi Li (I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine).  The words of this verse are also considered an acrostic for “Elul,” reflecting our very real potential to enjoy a vibrant, intimate relationship with Adonai if we will only turn from sin in repentance and seek Him. While the exchange of covenant vows between a man and woman who love each other is a blessing in any culture, there are aspects ...

Two Separate Events: Part 3

August 15, 2023 – 5:20 am
Christ’s Second Coming comes in two phases, once for the Church and once for Israel! Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 4: 13  But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the Word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with ...

Two Separate Events: Continued

August 14, 2023 – 4:47 am
Christ’s Second Coming comes in two phases, once for the Church and once for Israel! He comes once for the Church to fulfill His promises to His Bride. He then comes again in power to fulfill all the commitments laid down by GOD in both the Old and New Testaments for the Kingdom on Earth, where He takes David’s Throne. Jude wrote by The Holy Spirit in Jude: 14  Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, 15 to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." Who is Jude writing to?  He is writing to the chosen ones who are wrapped in the Love of Father God—kept and guarded for ...

Two Separate Events

August 13, 2023 – 5:15 am
There are two separate events when referring to the second coming of Jesus Christ… the Church and Israel! More than 300 prophecies about Christ’s First Coming were specifically fulfilled. As we explore His Second Coming, cross referencing and looking at every detail, we begin to realize that for every one of the First Coming prophecies, there are eight prophecies (over 2,500) laying out specific details regarding the Second Coming of Christ. Unless you understand that there are two different groups being dealt with, you will make some invalid assumptions.  Contrary to some teachings, FATHER has not changed HIS Mind concerning HIS Covenant with Israel. Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 15: 1  After these things the Word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." 2 But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I ...

Thank You

August 12, 2023 – 8:35 am
School kids are returning to class and we have provided funding for food, school supplies, clothes, shoes, etc. Thank you for your support of Kids in need. Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 20: 32  "So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 33 I have coveted no one's silver or gold or apparel. 34 Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. 35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" Amen!

Persecution vs. Tribulation

August 12, 2023 – 5:49 am
We will suffer persecution but not the Great Tribulation! It is imperative to understand the different kinds of suffering that we may endure here on earth as FATHER’S Sons and Daughters. Christian persecution is something that comes from the enemy working through people. What happens during the tribulation is GOD’S wrath being poured out upon this world. The source is very different, and the purpose is very different as well! FATHER does NOT bring persecution on His children, the enemy does! The tribulation is where GOD reigns down wrath and judgment upon this earth. These two types of hardships are NOT interchangeable! Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 13: 10  And Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar. 11 ...

Occupy, Be Productive!

August 11, 2023 – 5:50 am
We are to occupy till He comes! Jesus spoke the following parable in Luke chapter 19: 11  Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the Kingdom of God would appear immediately. 12 Therefore He said: "A certain Nobleman went into a far country to receive for Himself a Kingdom and to return. 13 So He called ten of His servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.' 14 But His citizens hated Him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We will not have this man to reign over us.' 15 "And so it was that when He returned, having received the Kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom He had given the money, to be called to Him, that He might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, ...

His Love for His Bride

August 10, 2023 – 6:57 am
Would Jesus express His Love for His Bride any less than how we are called to Love our wives (or husbands as the case may be)? Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians 5: 25  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also Loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the Word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. Paul provides us with THE STANDARD of how Jesus sees His Bride!  He cherishes her and only wants the best for her.  He would in no way put her in harm’s way to suffer the wrath of GOD.  A Loving FATHER will not hurt HIS Son’s Bride with judgment meant for the lawless! 28 So husbands ought to Love ...

Staying Prepared

August 9, 2023 – 3:31 am
Jesus’ imminent return does not justify us becoming unproductive in our individual callings. Once again, Paul refers to the Bridegroom’s return as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5: 1  But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. And in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2: 1  Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. There are many opinions about the return of Jesus, and we are not to be shaken or troubled by them.  Some say that there will be no true ...

His Imminent Return

August 8, 2023 – 7:20 am
We must realize that Jesus’ return is imminent and nothing else is required for Him to return for His Bride! “Imminent” is a word that means “it could happen at any time.”  Jesus Christ the Bridegroom could arrive at any moment to sweep His Bride away.  The word imminent refers to the next expectation, the next event in FATHER’S program. The Bride must be ready and waiting to be gathered up by the Bridegroom. The Bible describes a wide variety of events that will happen subsequently, but there is no precedent condition for the Bridegroom’s arrival. We can expect Him at any time. Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 3: 20  For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 Who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious Body, according to the working by ...
