  3. Everybody is a sinner.
  4. Jesus paid the price for your sin.

John 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. If we don’t need salvation, then God sent His Son in vain. Let’s agree with God – we do need to be saved. God does not want to send anybody to Hell. Hell is more of a destination of choice by having rejected God.

Romans 3:23 states, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

About Yeshua

Yeshua: King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Prince of Peace...Serving the World for more than 2,000 years.

In Hebrew, the name 'Yeshua' literally means 'salvation' and 'Salvation is found in no other name, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.'
- Acts 4:12

Who is Jesus and Why does He Want to Save You?

Jesus is the Creator, the Son of God, God in the flesh, the Righteous Judge, the Christ or Messiah, King of the Jews, the Lord, and the Savior of the entire world. God is One, yet He is three at the same time; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus said , “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. Jesus created you and He wants to redeem you from the death sentence pronounced on creation because of sin, so that you can be with Him forever in paradise, where ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain".

What is the Rapture?

Stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

The Rapture, not to be confused with the Second Coming, refers to an event when Jesus comes to take those who believe in Him away from the world before the last 7-year period of time begins as described in the Book of Revelation.

Harpazo Horizon or Last Minute Change of Plans?

A brief summary of today’s status on The Convergence

  • Prominent ‘Christians’ are renouncing their faith, defending the ‘ways of the world’, proclaiming homosexuality to not be a sin, and even committing suicide on September 10th, National Suicide Prevention Day.
  • Churches continue to split along lines separating traditional, literal Biblical beliefs from progressive, tolerant and inclusive beliefs.
  • Under the guise of teaching tolerance children in elementary schools are being indoctrinated with the normalization of perversions and multiple gender fluidity nonsense.
  • The chessboard of the Middle East does appear to be set up for two as of yet unfulfilled prophecies; Isaiah 18 and Ezekiel 38.
  • Damascus Syria is mostly in ruins. It wouldn’t take much more than a spark to “utterly destroy” the oldest existing city in the world.
  • Iran (Persia) continues to provide for Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon, the terrorist military arm responsible for firing rockets into Israel in the north.
  • Iran is now enriching weapons-grade uranium at an accelerated pace and continues to proclaim the impending destruction of Israel.
  • Israel has escalated their aerial bombardment of Iranian military installations in Syria and Iraq where rockets and guided missiles are being imported and manufactured.
  • Hamas continues to fire rockets into Israel from Gaza in the south.
  • ISIS is still being dealt with in Iraq.
  • An unprecedented 2nd attempt at a successful election for Prime Minister of Israel is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 17th
  • Netanyahu has promised to annex the West Bank if elected despite warnings not to from the UN, the EU, and President Putin of Russia.
  • Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has stated that the details of the ‘Deal of the Century’ Middle East Peace Plan will be revealed right after the Israeli elections.

It’s Time to Rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem

And the most eyebrow-raising news of late is that both of the leading candidates for Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu and Benny Gantz, are now proclaiming that it is time to rebuild the Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

In recent decades, there have been a number of false starts where it appeared that at certain points in time global events were foreshadowing the imminent return of Jesus/Yeshua
to take his bride away from this sin-plagued planet which has already been sentenced and is awaiting judgment. Then at the last minute, there would seemingly be a change of plans, postponing the major event until another time in the not too distant future.

We appear to be at one of these points in time once again. Will there be a last-minute change of plans? Or will the convergence of events continue to focus on the major event, our Blessed Hope?

One of the ‘moedim’ or ‘appointed times’ from Leviticus 23 is the Feast of Trumpets, aka Rosh Hashanah, which will occur between Sept. 30th and Oct. 1, 2019

What if? What if this is it?

“Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the TRUMPET will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.
(1 Corinthians 15:51-53)

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the TRUMPET call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever.
Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)

Indeed, Darkness appears to be closing in from all sides. But the darkness will flee from the Light!

Maranatha!

Zehut and the Third Temple

Latest News Stories which Mention the Third Temple

4 TAKEAWAYS FROM ISRAEL’S ELECTION

‘Zehut’, a secular, right-wing Israeli political party founded by Moshe Feiglin, called for the legalization of marijuana, the removal of the Muslim colonial presence from Israel and the rebuilding of the Third Temple ontop the Temple Mount now, not later.  The Hebrew dictionary definition of ‘Zehut’ or ‘Zehuyot’ is ‘Identities’.  Feiglin failed to unseat Benjamin Netanyahu in last Tuesday’s election for Prime Minister of Israel.

ZIONISM’S BEGINNINGS: ‘REDEMPTIVE PARALYSIS’

A recently published article by Aharon E. Wexler in the Jerusalem Post summarizes the three failed revolts by the Jews to regain their independence:

  • 167 B.C., the Hasmonean Revolt lead by Judah the Maccabee
  • 117 A.D., the Kitos Revolt against Roman General Quietus
  • 132 A.D., the Bar Kochba Revolt

It is interesting to note that in the description of Hadrian’s Genocide in response to the successful Bar Kochba Revolt the rabbis, using rabbinic hyperbole, “tell us that there was so much blood spilled that it was up to the horses’ noses.”  Historians report that more one million Jews were killed, many of them women and children.

Were these rabbis familiar with Revelation 14:19-20? It seems the author, Aharon Wexler, is not familiar with the prophetic scripture of Revelation since he used the word ‘hyperbole’ .

“The angel swung his sickle on the earth, gathered its grapes and threw them into the great winepress of God’s wrath. They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.”

The author attributes the reason for modern Zionism to the failure of Jews to fully assimilate into European culture and what he calls ‘Redemption Paralysis’ which resulted from the new Rabbinical teaching that the Messianic Redemption would be ‘supernatural’ and not literal in nature.  Redemption Paralysis, the author suggests, is responsible for the Jews not taking redemption in their own hands for almost 2,000 years until 1897 when a group of secular Jews led by Thedor Herzl decided that the time to re-establish a Jewish state had arrived.

Sadly, just as the prophet Jeremiah warned, once again, dark days for the Jewish nation lie ahead.  Prophecies from Daniel state that the Third Temple will, in fact, be rebuilt and the temple sacrifices will recommence.  However, a man who will be credited for a major role in establishing peace between Israel and the nations, a man who ‘confirms’ a peace treaty, will mistakingly be accepted as the Messiah that the Jews have been waiting for. He is not.  He may even be Jewish, but the Jews will soon afterward realize that he is a false messiah. Three and one-half years into his rule he will commit an unacceptable, unholy act in the Third Temple and then proclaim himself to be God.  This will be the event or the signal that causes great fear and panic among the Jews, who will recognize their error, and are told to not hesitate for a single moment before fleeing for their lives to the East, where God will supernaturally care for them for the next three and one-half years. Many will perish for not taking God’s warning seriously.

Stirring a Hornets Nest of Apocalyptic Islam?

By Leave a Comment

apocalyptic islam mad as hornetsLike him or hate him, President Trump has courageously stood up against a host of hostile Islamic countries and defended Israel by:
 
1. Declaring that the US recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and moving the US Embassy there.
 
2. Pulling out of the Iran nuclear treaty and reactivating sanctions against the Islamic theocracy.
 
3. Declaring that the Golan Heights belong to Israel, not Syria.
 
4. Essentially eliminating all United States financial aid to the Palestinians in Gaza since US taxpayer money was being used by Hamas to finance the rockets they fire into Israel and the tunnels they dig under the border.
 
If there ever was a better reason for apocalyptic Islamic leaders to be so mad they could spit fire I don’t know what it is. Perhaps they are as mad as a nest of hornets that have been disturbed. It is not difficult to speculate that Iran might encourage Bashar al Assad of Syria to take some foolish military action against Israel regarding the Golan Heights to try and regain stature in the Islamic world or favor in the eyes of allah. Syria has already said that they are determined to recover the area ”through all available means”.
 
Prime Minister Netanyahu has likened Trump’s declaration on the Golan Heights to a “Purim Miracle”, referring to the book of Esther where God provided and gave victory to the Jews over their enemies who wanted to destroy them.
 
Unlike almost half of the voting population in the United States, in Israel, President Trump is looked upon as a champion of the Jews and likened to King Cyrus from the Book of Ezra in the Old Testament or Tanakh. King Cyrus was the Persian ruler who 2,500 years ago decreed that the Jews should return from exile to Jerusalem to rebuild their temple.
 
Prime Minister Netanyahu said, “I want to tell you that the Jewish people have a long memory, so we remember the proclamation of the great king, Cyrus the Great, the Persian king 2,500 years ago. He proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in Babylon could come back and rebuild our Temple in Jerusalem. We remember a hundred years ago, Lord Balfour, who issued the Balfour Proclamation that recognized the rights of the Jewish people in our ancestral homeland. We remember 70 years ago, President Harry S. Truman was the first leader to recognize the Jewish state. And we remember how a few weeks ago, President Donald J. Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Mr. President, this will be remembered by our people through the ages.”
 
All of these significant historical events add to the great anticipation of finally knowing what the undisclosed details are in the upcoming Peace Treaty which it is said will be revealed sometime after the Israeli elections on April 9th.
 
Our God is sovereign and only He decides when the time is right. God can always press the ‘pause button’ on the Biblical script which is being played out here. However, it doesn’t seem likely that any pause would last for long. All signs point to the soon return of Yeshua, Jesus, King of the Jews, Messiah, Savior. People look up, your Redemption draws near.

Catholicism Unites With Islam

By Leave a Comment

This moment finds me in low spirits.  I’m recovering from surgery, painkillers cause me to feel dull in mind and depressed, I hardly have enough motivation to write this, but I feel it is important.

So the Pope made history last week by meeting with Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb—the Grand Imam of Al Azhar, in the United Arab Emirates. The stated purpose was to sign a ‘Document on Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together’ to spread the culture of tolerance.  The document “forcefully rejects any justification of violence undertaken in the name of God,” and affirms “respect for believers of different faiths, the condemnation of all discrimination, the need to protect all places of worship, and the right to religious liberty, as well as the recognition of the rights of women.”

The irony is that Sheikh Ahmed is on record as recently as June 2016 as having reiterated the Islamic belief that “Those learned in Islamic law [al-fuqaha] and the imams of the four schools of jurisprudence consider apostasy a crime and agree that the apostate must either renounce his apostasy or else be killed.”  Sheikh Ahmed cited a hadith, or tradition, of Islam’s prophet Muhammad, saying, “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him” (Sahih Al-Bukharivol. 9 no.57).”

Additional irony can be found in the Sheik’s refusal to condemn the evil, horrific actions of ISIS which include filming and broadcasting the burning of people alive in cages and decapitations of countless others with knives while alive, lest we forget so soon just because YouTube has scrubbed the videos from their archives.

Many a Christian has bought into the lie from the Father of Lies that Christians and Muslims worship the same god.
According to the Koran, they can not even coexist.
Islam is a false religion. Mohammed is a false prophet. And Allah is a false god.

Koran 5:54 Oh believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends…

Koran 47:4 When you meet the unbelievers (the people of the Book…the infidel) smite their necks (cut their heads off).
Then when you have made wide slaughter among them…

Koran 5:33 The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and his messenger… will be that they will be killed or crucified… or have their hands and feet from opposite sides cut off.

These are ‘Satanic Verses’ … this is Islam. Anyone who says otherwise is either deceived, a Muslim in name only, or a liar.

These are 3 of over 120 verses that command the true Muslim to kill the Christian and the Jew.

Don’t take anyone’s word for it. Go to the source…search the scriptures and find out for yourself if what you’re being told is the truth or not.

John 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

When one rejects the truth they will believe the lie, and as such, they will be condemned and perish.

The Koran specifically states in many passages that God has no son and is not incarnate in Christ.

They say: “(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!” Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! At it the skies are ready to burst, and the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin, That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious. For it is not [worthy of] the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.” (Sura 19:88-92)

“In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: ‘Who then hath the least power against Allah, if his will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all everyone that is on the earth?’” (Sura 5:17)

Needless to say, all of this does seem to point towards the coming One-World Religion under antichrist, the man of perdition.

How the so-called leader of over 1 billion Catholics throughout the world can claim to pray to the same god with the Muslim Sheikh who defends ISIS is unconscionable.  Unless of course, they are praying to the same god, the true author of the Satanic Verses.

 

 

Tension Increases Between Russia, Syria, and Israel

Syria shoots down Russian planeSyria Shoots Down Russian Plane

Russia has provided Syria with S-400 missiles in the wake of the Syrian Army mistakingly shooting down a Russian intelligence-gathering aircraft killing all 15 onboard in September 2018.  Even though everyone acknowledges that it was Syria, Israel is being blamed.  The S-400 missiles will extend Syria’s reach within Israel.  This may be unacceptable to Israel who has made it clear that they will not tolerate Iran establishing a military presence in Syria.
