Galatians 2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

Paul wanted to go to those in the church who would be able to fairly critique his gospel and correct him if necessary. There was no addition, no subtraction, no correction to what he was sharing.

7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;

The world has this view of people that are "saints" and "holy apostles" that they are all knowing. These brothers were all knowing enough to know that the Lord Jesus had committed the gospel of the uncircumcision to Paul. He is comparing this meeting with the one Peter had with them after he went to Cornelius. God was doing a new thing through Peter and through Paul and they saw that and agreed with it.

8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles)

The reason Paul is hammering this point so much is because of this point. John and James and Cephas did not give him any revelation. It was God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit that did that. His point is you don't become an apostle by going to seminary, you don't get a ministry by going to seminary. You get a ministry by the Holy Spirit working mightily in you towards those that you minister to.

9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
 
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Justification is the first step, sanctification is the second. Paul is not saying that we are sanctified, he is saying we are justified. If you want to be a priest of God the first step is to be justified, but then you must also be separated unto God. That is sanctification.

17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

When you come to the Lord you confess your sins and He forgives you your sins. His blood pays the price for your sins so that you can be forgiven before God. That is not a free pass to sin. That does not mean He is saying that it is OK for you to sin, but not for the nations. Jesus Christ is not the minister of sin.

18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

Think of the Jewish religion as the egg shell and the church is the chicken that came out of the egg shell. When they came out of that shell they destroyed the shell. The goal is not to rebuild the Jewish religion as "the church". If you do that you expose yourself that you are a false prophet.

19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

The law told you what the requirements were for the Messiah. He came, He died on the cross, He paid the ransom with His blood. He fulfilled the requirement of the law. If you have received Jesus' redemption then you are also dead with Him to the flesh, to sin, to the world, and to your self. All the things that kept you from living unto God have died so now you are free to live to God in the resurrection life.

20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

This is the point of being born again, Christ, the anointed one, lives in you. He loves you, He gave Himself for you, and He lives in You.

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

However, if you don't listen to the Lord in your spirit and heed your spirit you frustrate the grace of God. Living in sin grieves the Holy Spirit, Paul is not talking about that, he is talking about frustrating the grace of God. Each one of us, if we partake of the grace of God we will grow in grace and into our anointing to be a gift to the body. If you don't partake of the grace of God every day and exercise your spirit every day then you will frustrate that process. You will not enter into your anointing nor will you be a gift to the body. As a result you will have the sense that the Holy Spirit is frustrated with you.
 
He gives a long list on the 9th of Av

Rapture Aug 19, the 10th of Av, 3 Day’s after Peace & Safety

 
Nelson Walters just had a post as have others claiming the sacrifice last month wast not practice, it was the real thing.

Numbers 19:1 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 2 This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke: 3 And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face: 4 And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:

The only way it was the real thing is if the tabernacle of David has been raised. According to the law the sacrifice must be facing the sanctuary. Now they have all the utensils and all the articles of the Tabernacle and they also have the tabernacle. My guess is they have raised the tabernacle of David. They had everything they needed to raise it, Shiloh is a legitimate place to raise the tabernacle of David, and there is no point in sacrificing the red heifer if they aren't ready to sanctify the sanctuary.

There is no Biblical basis to say the Jews are going to build a third temple. The verses in the New Testament that are translated as "temple" should be translated "Sanctuary". They don't refer to the large building called the temple, that is a different word. It means the sanctuary (Holy Place and Holy of Holies). That can be inside the tabernacle as much as inside the temple. The doctrine that the Jews would rebuild the temple is based on them having oblations and sacrifices. But that is an erroneous assumption. You can have sacrifices and oblations with the Tabernacle of David. The idea that the Jews would build a temple can easily be debunked. There is no mention of them building it, no mention of the temple, and no mention of it being destroyed. However, we know when the New Jerusalem descends there is no temple in it because it is the temple. Jesus told us He would build His church, and Paul told us the church is the temple. The church is the third temple.

The only prophecy in the OT concerning this is that they will raise the tabernacle of David again which was raised in Shiloh.

Amos 9:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

There is no fulfillment of Israel raising the tabernacle of David since Amos spoke prior to today.

If this sacrifice was done properly it was done by sanctified priests, this means the priesthood is reestablished. Also it means they can sanctify the utensils of the tabernacle and begin again with the oblations and sacrifices. It also means that the tabernacle of David has been raised.
 
My Days Are Not Like Your Days 8-11-25@5:13 PM


In this video she (or God) says that the earth is currently using 40 different calendars. I am only aware of five or six (Gregorian, Julian, Hebrew, Essene, Enoch calendar and Chinese calendar). According to Wikipedia there are 90 calendars though many are no longer in use. Therefore I figured a long time ago that the thing we can hang our hat on is "seedtime and harvest". According to Genesis these two will be constant.

Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

The Feast of New Wine in Israel is around August 9th. So even though we may not know the exact day because of all the different calendars we do know the approximate day because of the harvest.

We have a lot of very compelling reasons to believe the rapture is in 2025. We don't know the day or the hour, but there is nothing that says we can't know the year. I would also point out that the Feast of new oil is supposed to be 50 days after the Feast of new wine. Based on Jesus' word in the gospels that those who are left behind are told to go buy oil and when they do and come back the door is already closed, because of that I would think that the rapture is prior to the Feast of new oil.

Personally I like the Feast of New wine as the single best candidate. However, I also like the Lord's day as the single best day as I see the Lord's table as a holy convocation, a dress rehearsal, for the rapture.

I would also point out that when the Gregorian Calendar was first started they skipped 11 days, going from the 4th to the 15th. As a result God may be referring to our "August 7th" while knowing that the true August 7th is August 18th. However, the Gregorian calendar was instituted to correct for errors in the Julian calendar, so again, in my opinion, this is simply a rough estimate.

God is going to speak the truth, He is not going to lie, so if He says "August 7th" it will be the true August 7th and not the lie. Therefore it is crucial for us to know the truth before we can understand what God is saying.
 

32AD & The 84Yr Prophecy New Evidence *FULL VIDEO*

He gives us a good review of how the calendars have changed since the crucifixion.
 
This is a fundamental truth in the New Testament that we cannot afford to get wrong.


Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Jesus Christ is the Messiah, that is what the word Christ means. His name means "Jehovah Savior the anointed one". He was set forth before us as crucified. If you know the old testament you know that all those sacrifices for sin, for trespasses, for burnt offerings, for meal offerings and for peace offerings were all a type and shadow of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. He is the fulfillment of the Passover lamb, and so we are now strengthened to leave Egypt (the world) and head for the good land.

2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

After Jesus was crucified, rose from the dead and ascended. After all that the church received the outpouring of the Spirit. This did not happen because of people keeping the law of Moses, it happened because of people receiving the redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the Cross. There is nothing that you did or could do to "earn" the Spirit. It was a free gift of God.

3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

But notice there is a two step process to salvation. You begin by the Spirit when it was poured out and you are now made perfect, also by the Spirit. All of the once saved always saved teaching focuses on that beginning, but they ignore the process by which we are made perfect. When you were saved you were forgiven. That is like a man on death row being given a pardon. But you have not yet been made perfect. That requires that you now walk by the Spirit, not by the flesh. Galatians will give us a list of the works of the flesh in chapter five, if you have any of those works they are a symptom of someone who is walking by the flesh and not by the Spirit.

4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

The things we suffer are a result of our old man being crucified, our self being crucified, dying to the world so that we could live to God. If you are complaining about your suffering then it seems you have suffered those things in vain. Everything should help you see that Christ is living in you. If you are complaining about everything then obviously you don't see Christ living in you.

5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

There is no formula. He that works miracles among you does it because of your relationship with Him. He is the shepherd, you are the sheep, you hear His voice and do what He says.

6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Abraham believed God when He told him he would have a son. He also believed God when He told him to go sacrifice his son. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Faith means we are walking according to that word even though we can't see how we'll be saved. We don't walk by sight, rather we obey God because we believe God.

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
 
Be warned

Jeremiah 28:15 Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The Lord hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. 16 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the Lord. 17 So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.

If you lie about receiving a word from the Lord and speak lies to the people the judgement will come swift. You have a right to have an opinion about what is going to happen, but if you claim you are speaking a word from the Lord when He didn't send you, that you have no right to do.
 
Please note, you can't always get your own way

Jeremiah 29:16 Know that thus saith the Lord of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity; 17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

If the Lord is punishing you then you must submit. Otherwise you are fighting against God and that will not go well with you.

18 And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: 19 Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the Lord, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the Lord.

So then how do we know if this is the enemy or if this is the Lord's rebuke? You have to hearken to His words. It is critical to discern which prophets are speaking to you from God. You need to have a direct relationship with Jesus Christ, to listen to His voice and to follow Him. Ask the Lord to send someone to speak to you if you aren't clear and make sure you don't harden your heart so that the problem is not that God isn't speaking but rather that you will not hear.
 
Do not teach rebellion against the Lord

Jeremiah 29:31 Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie: 32 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the Lord; because he hath taught rebellion against the Lord.

God is the one that lifts up rulers and sets them down. You may not like it, no one likes getting the belt, but do not rebel. If you rebel you are rebelling against God. Do not twist this word. If any ruler commands you to do something that you know is contrary to God, that is different. If they command you to worship idols or blaspheme the name of God then of course, you do not do that.
 
I have been praying the following prayer over US judges

Lord Jesus I come before the throne of grace, standing on the blood of Jesus Christ and bringing these petitions in the name of Jesus Christ. I ask that this prayer list be kept under the wings of the Lord, hidden from the enemy, within the hedge of protection. I pray that my computer’s address would be hidden under the blood of Jesus. I pray and decree that there will be no retaliation, backlash or interference by the enemy in any way known to God's existence because God exists everywhere made on me, my family, the Gideon ministry or my church as a result of these prayers.


Lord Jesus I come before you and pray that there would be no monitoring spirits placed on me from visiting the site for the Federal judge directories on the internet. I pray that any attempt to do that would be blocked, that any information or data they are keeping would be corrupted and the records would be sealed by the Lord Jesus Christ and impossible for anyone whether demon, spirit or person to open them without the approval of the Lord Jesus Christ. I also pray that this prayer list kept on Google drive be sealed in the blood of Jesus so that no one can open them without the approval of Jesus Christ, the king of kings. I also pray that the Christianchat.com forum would be kept under the blood of Jesus Christ, protected from retaliation and from monitoring spirits according to the Lord’s will and good pleasure.


Lord Jesus, I pray for each of the men and women below, that they would hear about the Love of Jesus. In the name of Jesus Christ I order the demons and the devil to be silent. I command that Satan stop communicating with these men and women supernaturally. I decree that any power of witchcraft in these men and women be broken until they come face to face with the gospel of Jesus Christ who is God incarnated just as Saul of Tarsus also came face to face with Jesus. They must see that Jesus lived a life as a man, that He came to save us from our sins, that He died in order to pay the price for our sins so that we might be redeemed and that He rose again from the dead. They must see that all authority and all power has been given to Jesus Christ and that He now is sitting on the throne. In the authority of Jesus Christ I command that their minds would be free and that once they have been confronted, face to face with the gospel, they will be able to make their own minds up. That includes being free from any influence of drugs and any other addictions used to bind these men and women. In the name of Jesus Christ I command that the devil cease giving these men and women drugs.


For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.


Lord Jesus I pray that these men and women be given a sound mind and not be held in fear as they hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. I also ask that they see that Christians have a spirit of power greater than any witchcraft power and a spirit of love greater than any threat of death or blackmail.


2 Timothy 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.


Lord Jesus, I am praying according to Your will, You are the word of God, that you work in the hearts of these men and women so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. The tribulation is coming and the persecution of the tribulation saints is coming. We know that just as Pharaoh wanted the midwives to kill the Israelite babies that Satan will want these judges to do the same to Christians during the tribulation. And so I bring my supplications on behalf of these judges that just like the midwives at the time of Pharaoh they would refuse to do this and would know the peace that passes all understanding. In the name of Jesus Christ, the king of kings and supreme potentate I ask this.

I decree that this prayer will apply to everyone on this Prayer List for United States District judges after reading the name of each man or woman.

All these many things I ask in the name of Jesus Christ, the king of kings. I pray that this list and all these prayers be sealed in the blood of Jesus. I also ask that any who would attempt to violate this decree be bound and kept in the pit awaiting trial. I pray that any attempt to retaliate for this prayer would return on the heads of those who would take vengeance. That they would be snared in the snares they lay and that they would fall into the pits they dig. Amen and Amen.


Heavenly Father, I pray that your name would be hallowed and that the name of your Son, Jesus Christ would be glorified. I pray that Satan’s kingdom would suffer a split as the foundations of unrighteousness crumble, crack and fall. Lord Jesus, I pray that your will would be done when you said a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand and a house divided against itself cannot stand. I ask that the gospel of Jesus Christ shining in the hearts of these men and women would cause the kingdom of darkness to fall and that the Kingdom of darkness would be brought into desolation. Lord Jesus, I pray that their children would be their judges. Lord Jesus we thank you that with You there is forgiveness that You might be feared. May the door be opened to these men and women to confess their sins, to repent and to be forgiven and come to experience the knowledge surpassing love of Christ. I also pray that they would bring forth fruits worthy of repentance.


Luke 12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.


Amen. Lord, I ask you to watch over your word to perform it. Anything spoken in the darkness to these District Judges should be heard in the light. That which was heard in the ear in closets by District judges shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. This is the decree of the Lord Jesus Christ and I stand on this word and appeal that this be fulfilled. Amen.


Lord Jesus I pray that you would not lead us into temptation but you would deliver us from evil. Do not allow the enemy to attempt to bring temptation to me, my family, the Gideon ministry, or my church as a form of retaliation. May they, like Satan when discussing Job, say “we can’t touch them, You have put a hedge of protection around them”.


All these many things we ask and pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. He is the one to whom every knee must bow. Amen.
 
Galatians 4:8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.

Prior to my being saved the only thing I did service to was the NFL. Those were the big days for me, that was a weekly event that I looked forward to, that was a season that I looked forward to and that concluded with the biggest games which I looked forward to.

9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

What a shame that after getting saved some Christians are still caught up into this. Now all I see is a bunch of millionaires playing a game and the billionaires who run this game are playing everyone in the world for fools.

10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.

This is definitely true of NFL fans (idol worshippers). There is the event known as "the NFL draft", there is the preseason, there is opening day, what used to be a weekly event on Sunday has expanded to include Monday, Thursday and even Saturday as well. You have football season and you have the offseason. Then there are the big days, the playoffs. When I was growing up the NFC and AFC championship games were the best, often the Superbowl was a let down compared to those games. Those were the two really big feast days.

11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.

All of that stuff is vanity. If you are not playing on the field then what is the point? I understand that for some this is their career, their livelihood. But that is not what makes this idolatry. It is the way people dress up, the money they spend, the barbecues in the parking lot making this an all day event, and the worship they give in the stands during the game. What are you worshipping? They buy their stuff, wear their jerseys, and proclaim to the whole world what team they are a fan of. Why? It isn't your business, you are not going to inherit any of it, nor is it your career.

Jesus Christ is our inheritance, He is our career, this is our business. He is the real lion, we are his younger brothers and sisters, we will take down the Giants. The end of the age is the real playoffs. We are going to the real Superbowl. Do you want to be a spectator or do you want to be on the field of battle? The Triune God is our coach, transforming us into a championship team.

Why are any Christians wasting time with a shadow when they could be taking part in the reality?
 
Jeremiah 30:3 For, lo, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.

You might think this was fulfilled when they returned from captivity in Babylon.

4 And these are the words that the Lord spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah. 5 For thus saith the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. 6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

You might think this was fulfilled as well? This can't refer to 70 AD because He is likening it to giving birth, not to being exiled.

7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Israel was not saved out of 70 AD, they were sent to the four corners of the earth in a two thousand year time out.

8 For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:

Once again, this cannot refer to the time of Jesus because they were under the yoke of the Romans. For the last two thousand years they have been serving strangers.

9 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

This can't refer to David who was already dead but rather to Jesus Christ, the greater David. So then, this has not yet been fulfilled for the Jews.

We serve a glorious God who can do all these things and tell us the end from the beginning.
 
Jeremiah 30:10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the Lord; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

What an amazing prophecy, from the context it is clearly referring to Israel's return from Captivity as a shadow of what is to come at the end of the age, what we are seeing now when they were brought from the four corners of the earth back to Israel.

11 For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

The full end of Babylon was simply a shadow of the full end of all the nations at Armageddon.

12 For thus saith the Lord, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.

That is a reference to the Holocaust.

13 There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.

That is what we see today with all the nations of the earth gathering against Israel.

14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.

This is why this is happening, so that Israel will learn never to put their trust in these other nations. They think that they are doing good, the nations will appreciate it. That is a lie, the only one you can trust is Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

15 Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.

The Lord is a jealous God, they rejected the Messiah and so He has done these things to them, not to destroy them, but to cause them to return to Him.

16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.

As they have done it will be done unto them. With what measure they measure it will be measured to them.
 
Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

This is the reason for all the hate. Israel was desolate after the holocaust, seemingly incurable and in just one generation they have turned the nation of Israel into a beacon for all nations to see. They didn't have the wealth in oil that the other nations had and yet the nation has become the most prosperous in the Middle East. Yes, the rulers of those nations are very rich, but for the average person they can see that their rulers are thieves and crooks and they can see that it would be much better for them to be under the Israeli government than to be under the rule of their criminal leaders.

18 Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof. 19 And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

Israel was not glorified when they were under Roman rule, but now that they are running their own country again they are glorified. It is absolutely stunning that a nation so small could have such a huge impact on the entire earth.

20 Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.

This cannot refer to the millennial reign, no one is going to oppress them then. This must refer to what we are seeing now, many, many nations are oppressing Israel right now. The Lord has promised to punish them, we can say Amen, but this is for the Lord to do.

21 And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the Lord. 22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.

We have yet to see that Jesus Christ is their God, so this has not yet been fulfilled.

23 Behold, the whirlwind of the Lord goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.

This must therefore refer to the seven year tribulation culminating in Wormwood and Armageddon.

24 The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.

Once again, clear proof that his is referring to the latter days. The latter days began at the time of Pentecost, that is called the latter rain.

The Truth About the Recent Red Heifer Ceremony | Mondo Gonzales and J.B. Hixson

A couple of comments

1. They had 3 Red heifers disqualified out of the five back in 2024, so why didn't they do a practice run with them?

2. Why do a practice run with a red heifer? Why not just do it with a regular cow or a regular heifer? It seems to me you would want the five to breed because chances are very good that they could give birth to a red heifer. Yes, they are disqualified, but apparently they were ready to be sacrificed in 2024 and they had to cancel those plans because of the perilous times.

3. About 11:30 in Mondo says that they did the sacrifice following all the protocols of Numbers 19. This means the priesthood has been reestablished. Also, one of the protocols is that you must be facing the sanctuary, therefore if you are following all the protocols the sanctuary has also been raised. This could be the tabernacle of David. This also means that the sacrifices have been restarted because this is a sacrifice done by the priests with the sanctuary being raised. Yes, they wanted to do this on the mount of Olives, but they couldn't, why? Because this is "perilous times" which is what the prophecy says, they will do these things in perilous times. Also, according to the protocols you must go outside the camp, if this was done in Shiloh that is outside the camp.

4. The Temple institute says "all the Red Heifers are disqualified" after this sacrifice was done. I am not completely clear on the language used because this might have meant the ones still living are all disqualified. Mondo points out there is a lot of vague and ambiguous language being used, again this lack of genuine transparency is because this is during perilous times. Hamas made it very clear that stopping this sacrifice was one of the goals of the October 7 attack.

5. The guy whose posts have caused a lot of dispute has said two things, he said this was a practice and he said that it was a real sacrifice. So let's examine this, first, this is not a typical burnt offering, you don't go outside the camp for a typical burnt offering, so when he says it is a real sacrifice we should understand that specifically as a real sacrifice of a red heifer. Then he says it was a practice. Many of us understand that to mean a "dress rehearsal". But ask yourself, if you were going to do a dress rehearsal for this sacrifice would you do it with a red heifer? Even if it were disqualified because there were three hairs, you don't know if tomorrow one of those hairs falls out. Also this cow could give birth to a red heifer, why would sacrifice this one? But there is another way to understand practice, it was practice for the priesthood at doing a sacrifice. Even though this burnt offering is special in some ways, it is also very similar to other sacrifices in other ways. If the priesthood is going to once again begin sacrifices this was the first real one they have done and so it is practice for the ones they will do in the outer court of the Tabernacle.

Wow! Listen to the whole thing, it becomes clear what this term "practice" means.

Right now there is a dispute, not all rabbis agree. According to Numbers and the Torah that is a certified red heifer. There is no mention as to how many hairs cannot be red in Numbers and there is no requirement to do this on the mount of Olives. So based on the Torah, the books of Moses, this was the real thing. They have given the ashes to the Temple institute.

However, the talmud is also considered by some Jews as authoritative. According to that the red heifer must be sacrificed on the mount of Olives. The talmud is the Jewish rabbinical traditional teachings based on their interpretation. So for many Jews the real ceremony can only be done on the Mount of Olives. So for those Jews this is "a practice run". It was not done on the mount of Olives. This is the traditions of men that Jesus condemned.

However, for this to be a real ceremony based on Numbers 19 it must have been done facing the sanctuary. Therefore the tabernacle of David must have been raised. Since it is a real sacrifice we can also say that the sacrifices have been resumed. He has also said they have two, maybe three heifers that are still qualified, therefore they still have one that can be sacrificed on the mount of Olives.
