JERUSALEM AND THE JEW

by
Scott Jones

The Jews have more legitimate right to the city of Jerusalem than Americans do to Washington, or than the British do to London, or the French to Paris, or the Germans to Berlin, or the Russians to Moscow, and certainly more than all of the Arab and African nations that may try to lay claim to it, whoever and wherever they may be. In short, the Jews have more legitimate right to Jerusalem than all the world combined. There is no nation on earth that has more right to its capital city than the Jews do to Jerusalem. Not one.

That's because the land does not belong to the nations of the world. The land belongs to God, and God gave Jerusalem to the Jews for an everlasting possession [Genesis 17:8]. it was never so written of any other nation on earth. Not one. Moreover, Jerusalem is the City of the Great King, even Jesus Christ the Righteous [Matthew 5:34-35], and in fact HE -- Jesus Christ the Righteous -- HE in fact is the TRUE OWNER of Jerusalem, and he has bestowed Jerusalem upon the Jews and upon Israel for them to be Jerusalem's steward. Jesus Christ has not bestowed Jerusalem upon anyone but the Jews, of whom he is King. Jesus Christ has bestowed Jerusalem and all of Israel upon the Jews, and no one else, nor can it be overturned, for as the Creator of all that exists outside of the Godhead, Jesus Christ has that right.

Conversely, neither do the Jews nor the Israeli government nor the Israeli people -- nor anyone else in all of creation -- have the right to relinquish or disannul that stewardship. None whatsoever.

And WOE, WOE, WOE to those who try. Wait and see.

I say, wait and see, for they WILL try, and for that, indeed, for all their schemes and machinations and attempts to achieve an inveterately impossible peace -- a lasting peace, that is -- indeed, for all of their pious schemes and machinations, which by their de facto rejection of Jesus Christ and by their arrogance in assuming themselves capable of ruling the earth without God, they thereby fling in the very face of the God of heaven HIMSELF their pride and wickedness, and so indeed, for all of that and more, the world in all its vainglory will be summoned to a hearing in the land of the Jews, even to the very heart and valley of that ancient and holy land, which in the Hebrew tongue is called ARMAGEDDON, or the MOUNTAIN OF MEGIDDO, and there God, even Jesus Christ the Righteous, will enter into judgment with them, and they shall not escape. Wait and see [Revelation 16:16].

And the time is shorter than you can possibly imagine. All the players are already in place. Only their unveiling is wanting, and the unveiling itself is already waiting in the wings. Watch and see.

The world is crying for peace, but there will be no peace -- no lasting peace -- as it is written --

"They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace." Jeremiah 6:14

Indeed, there will be a short, false peace that will heal only slightly the hurt of the daughter of God's people, a peace that will soon be imposed upon Jerusalem and Israel by him who is soon to be unveiled, but who will -- after a short time -- suddenly turn about and betray Jerusalem and Israel because Jerusalem and Israel have still refused to recognize their true Messiah, even Jesus Christ the Righteous. And yet, because "God is not a man, that he should lie, neither the son of man, that he should repent" [Numbers 23:19], therefore Jesus Christ HIMSELF will honor his promise that he gave to Abraham when he bequeathed Jerusalem and Israel to the Jews as an everlasting possession, so that Jesus Christ HIMSELF will destroy the betrayer when HE -- even the Lord Jesus Christ -- when HE intervenes at the very height of global thermonuclear war, a war in which no life on earth would survive except for the intervention of Jesus Christ the Righteous, and thus those who are still alive in Israel and Jerusalem at his return will become a fulfillment of that prophecy, in which it is written --

"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." Romans 11:26

Again, the time is shorter than you can possibly imagine, and there is no safety outside of Jesus Christ. None. Except you repent and become born again in the SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE of the NEW BIRTH, you will die in your sins, and if you die in your sins, you will spend eternity in everlasting damnation and torment. Wait and see, for you have offended an infinite and holy God, and because you are not an infinite being in your own right, so that you cannot pay an infinite price in a fixed amount of time, therefore you must suffer a fixed amount of torment for an infinite period of time. This is your future except you repent. Wait, I say, and see.

Don't be deceived by the false peace that will soon be imposed upon the Middle East, for it will not last. And because it will not last, when that peace falls, great will be the fall of it, so that the violence will escalate infinitely more fiercely than ever it would have before the false peace was imposed, just as the tighter the ball is wound, so is its explosion greater when it unravels.

Nevertheless, though the world will be reeling within and without, from both the weapons of mass destruction created by man, and from the wrath of the Lamb being rained upon the earth from above [Revelation 6:16], yet Israel shall never be taken from the Jews, nor will Jerusalem ever fall, for Jerusalem is the City of the Great King, even Jesus Christ the Righteous, and he will SOON return to claim his own possession. Watch and see.

Friend, YOU may have made a commitment to Jesus Christ, but unless you have EVIDENCE -- SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE -- unless you have SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE that Jesus Christ has made a commitment to YOU, by FILLING you with his Spirit, indeed, unless you have SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE that Jesus Christ has made a commitment to YOU by FILLING you with his Spirit, EXACTLY as described in the quotations noted in these two works on the FILLING of the Holy Spirit -- Part I, Part II -- then you will NEVER enter the kingdom of heaven, for if Jesus Christ has not borne witness to you here by FILLING you with his Spirit, neither will he bear witness to you there, when you stand before him at his judgment seat.

"In that great and terrible day, there will be those WHITE WITH SHOCK when they find that they have depended upon a mental assent to Christianity instead of upon the miracle of the new birth." A. W. Tozer, The Tozer Pulpit, Vol I

Consequently, I challenge every one of you, every one of you reading this right now, to SERIOUSLY EXAMINE YOURSELF, and be BRUTALLY HONEST with YOURSELF, for you can NEVER be FILLED with the Holy Spirit until you are BORN of the Holy Spirit in a MANIFEST SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE -- MANIFEST -- MANIFEST -- MANIFEST SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE -- and you will NEVER be BORN of the Holy Spirit unless you are BRUTALLY HONEST about your condition [2 Corinthians 13:5]. Accordingly, I warn you again, if you cannot HONESTLY and LEGITIMATELY claim the EXPERIENCE of being FILLED with the Holy Spirit, EXACTLY as demonstrated in the quotations here -- Part I, Part II -- a FILLING which occurs IMMEDIATELY UPON the MOMENT of REGENERATION, then do something about it NOW, while you still can -- I say, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW, WHILE YOU STILL CAN -- for if you INSIST on DECEIVING YOURSELF, God not only will NOT STOP YOU, but God will actually ENHANCE YOUR ABILITY to FURTHER DECEIVE YOURSELF, and God will do this by imposing JUDICIAL BLINDNESS upon you, for God HATES LIES, and there is NO LIE that God HATES WORSE than the SELF-DECEIVING LIE, for the SELF-DECEIVING LIE is ROOTED IN PRIDE, and that is the very NATURE of wickedness and iniquity [2 Thessalonians 2:11, John 8:44, Matthew 11:25-26].

Have you ever FELT, have you ever EXPERIENCED, the MANIFEST POWER of the Holy Spirit SUPERNATURALLY INDWELLING YOU? If not, then never think of going to heaven, for you are not yet meet for heaven. And yet...

I tell you -- and I call Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to record against that day I stand before the Lord Jesus at his judgment seat -- indeed, I tell you that Jesus Christ can be KNOWN, and KNOWN more INTIMATELY than ANY other person in existence. Jesus Christ is not only the source of all life, he is likewise the sustainer and dispenser of all life, and he is therefore capable of making HIMSELF MANIFEST to his ELECT more certainly than any created being can make himself known to you, exactly as he has promised in [John 14:21-23], and numerous other passages.

If you will not prize your soul above ALL ELSE, you will NEVER be granted a SAVING audience with Jesus Christ. Blind Bartimaeus, as recorded in the gospels, would be saved at all costs. Will you be saved at all costs? If you will not be saved at all costs, you will not be saved by Jesus Christ at all.

Would you be born again? GENUINELY born again?

Then take wise counsel -- pick up a Bible based on the Traditional Text -- in English, the ONLY VALID Bible based on the Traditional Text is the King James Bible -- and then read with SOLEMNITY, beginning in the Gospels preferably, and beg Jesus Christ to reveal himself to you, and give him no rest until he does, for if you read the TRUE written Word of God, you will find the Lord of Glory, even Jesus Christ, moving upon the face of the waters in its pages, just as he moved upon the face of the waters when he walked across the Sea of Galilee, and if you follow the advice just given, and if you persist, Jesus Christ HIMSELF will verily MANIFEST HIMSELF to you (for he HIMSELF promises to do this for those who truly heed this advice), just as he MANIFESTED HIMSELF to his disciples when he moved upon the face of the waters as he walked across the stormy sea some two thousand years ago, and just as he did with ME not too many years ago, and just as he has done with a FEW others from day to day since that time, in this very generation, and just as he will do for YOU if -- IF -- you heed my advice, and if -- IF -- you persist therein, for he who promised is FAITHFUL. John 14:21-23, Matthew 14:25-27
