Gaza Freedom Flotilla - There Is Nothing You Can Do To Stop Israel From EXISTING. It Is Here To Stay FOREVER, Jeremiah 31:35-37

Gen 17:8, Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”


Nothing seem to be going well for Gaza Freedom Flotilla organization.  Could God had something to do with these unforeseen events defined as "Force majeure"... the effects of the outside interference....where a defendant must have nothing to do with the event's happening? That is usually what happen when someone or anybody poke the eyes of God. Israel is the apple of God's eyes.  It irritate God eyes when someone or some organization mess up with Israel.   "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed,” Gen 12:3.

"Boat to Gaza Freedom Flotilla" Gaza blockade is legal.






Do Not Support "The Boat to Gaza Freedom Flotilla."  If You Do, You Are Going Against Israel, the apple of God’s eyes and  you will be curse, Genesis 12:3.


From Reuters article title, “CAN ISRAEL IMPOSE A NAVAL BLOCKADE ON GAZA?”  Yes it can, according to the law of blockade which was derived from customary international law and codified in the 1909 Declaration of London. It was updated in 1994 in a legally recognized document called the "San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea."  From CBC, Israeli troops acted legally in ship raid: report  . See the Palmer Report.

The commission, headed by a retired Supreme Court justice, included four Israeli members and two international observers - David Trimble, a Nobel peace laureate from Northern Ireland, and Brig. Gen. Ken Watkin, Canada's former chief military prosecutor.  All signed off on the conclusions.  The commission defended the actions of the country's troops during last year's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound protest flotilla sailing from Turkey, finding in a report released that Israel had not violated international law.

It is a grave error for Canadian activists to participate in "The Boat to Gaza Freedom Flotilla" this coming June 2011.  They do not represent the views of the majority of the Canadian population neither of our Government. Canada warns citizens: Avoid Gaza flotilla.  Activists alone will bear the burden of God’s curse, not the Canadian’s population.

It is a grave error to support Hamas by participating in the Canada’s Gaza Flotilla.  I really sympathize with the refugees.  Their living conditions are not the result of Israel policies.  Their living conditions are the creation of Hamas and of the surrounding Arab nations.  



Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said last month that the flotilla is not "useful or helpful or productive to the people of Gaza." "The United States is a very generous donor to the Palestinian people who are unfortunately the victims of the decisions made over the past years by Hamas," she added.


In 1948, it was the United Nations and not Israel that implemented Israel/Palestinian border as two separate nations.  Israel accepted while the Arab nations refused.  There were no Palestinians refugees.  It is a myth.  The surrounding Arab nations refused, Arab population within Israel border were told by their Arab neighbours to get out.  It was not Israel that force them out.  Arab nations went at war with Israel and lost.   That is when refugees came into existence.  Arab populations who stayed in Israel have Israel citizenship and have representation within Israel parliament.  

Why is the Middle East problem so difficult? Dennis Prager, nationally syndicated talk show host and best-selling author, answers that question in this thought-provoking video course.  Please watch: The Middle East Problem on YouTube.

The now Arab refugees called Palestinians since the war of 1948 are used as the greatest propaganda machine to force Israel to surrender territories.  Since when does a nation that chose to go to war and loose territories have the right to claim it back?  What would have happen if we would have give back to Germany or Japan their loss territories?  



John Hinderaker article title "Time to Annex Judea and Samaria?", he stated: 

"When the United States defeated Mexico in the Mexican War, what did we do? We annexed the Southwest. When France defeated Germany in World War I (more or less), what did it do? It annexed Alsace and Lorraine. After World War II, how did the Dutch obtain compensation from Germany? They annexed certain lands that were later sold back to West Germany for a large sum. Many such examples could be offered."

In 1967 it was an act of self-defense that causes Israel to take an offensive approach. When the enemy is ready to attack, is it not strategically logical to strike first?  Would you take the first punch knowing that it could weaken you and destabilized you?  Remember Pearl Harbour and the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia.


The United Nations with Western nations took the burden for the welfare of the so call refugees.  Not the Arab nations rich in oil.  Billions of dollars are given to the Palestinians government through the U.N, E.U., U.S.A., Canada, Israel, and many other nations.  Little is used for it population.  Last year, Hamas refuses flotilla aid delivered by Israel.   Hamas is finance by Iran.  Iran does not contribute to the welfare of the Palestinians population.

Most of the United Nations financial assistance is used to propagate propaganda and to support it war machine.  The Palestinians are victims of their own government.  Hamas prisoners.  http://youtu.be/etDb5tXPawc

Watch this video about the shocking similarities between Muslim and Nazi. Palestinians children are being trained for war.  Hamas is stealing their youth.  Their children are feed hateful propaganda and no one denounce it.  See for yourself: Palestinians Children Of WAR

Is it necessary to remind you of the stated objectives of Ahmadinejad, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad? Their goal is not peace, but the final destruction of the State of Israel. Not a single time have they acknowledge the sovereignty of Israel.  If a Palestinian State is create within the 1967 border with sovereign power to deploy troops, import modern weapons-even weapons of mass destruction-and operate with full secrecy and diplomatic immunity; the ability of the State of Israel to defend itself will be fatally compromised.

The UN Security Council pass Resolution 242 (1967) of 22 November 1967, stipulated that Israel is in title to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force.

Israel always wants peace while the Arab nations always wanted to exterminate them.  The Arab nations use hateful propaganda campaign against Israel at the cost of the Palestinians misfortune.  For what purpose?   To gain media attention and support. Canadian media are misleading us….do not be so gullible?  Palestinians admit Gaza not starving, Hamas steals aid.

So why is it that the little nation of Israel no bigger then Prince Edward Island a threat to international peace?  It is because Israel is God’s people, set apart to prove to the world nations that He is God over all nations and He gave the land to whomever He chose, and in this case to His people Israel.

ISRAEL IS STILL THE APPLE OF GOD'S EYE

The Key To Understand Bible Prophecy Is ISRAEL.  

Yes Israel, not the Church.  The notion that the Church replaces Israel is hogwash.  Replacement Theology is false theology.  It is the root of ANTISEMITISM.  "Antisemitism is born in ignorance and nurtured in envy.  It is the stepchild of delusion and evil", The Right Honourable Brian Mulroney, Chapter 1 Antisemitism: An Enduring Reality[1]

In 1948, God fulfill a prophetic event by miraculously bringing back the children of Israel to His land.  “For behold, the days are coming,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will bring back from captivity My people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.’”  Jeremiah 30:3

This event was proof to Israel that God fulfill His promises.  ”Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel.  They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’  Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.  Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves,” Ezekiel 37:11-13.   Please notice that God named the land “His land”, the land that I gave to their fathers and Israel “My people Israel and Judah”.

Their land has been under foreign occupation for 2,553 years, from 586 B.C., when king Nebuchadnezzar took Jerusalem until 1948, then in 1967, the miraculous victory of the Jewish army capturing Jerusalem during the Six-Day-War, the times of the Gentiles ended, Luke 21:24.  This was the prophetic sign that is to precede Christ’s return to set up His Kingdom for a thousand years upon the earth among His people Israel.  Please watch on YouTube Jerusalem: 4000 Years in 5 Minutes  or listen to a Mp3 audio "Panorama Israel History".

Yes, the survival of the Jewish people is a miracle from God. The return of the Jewish people to the land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is a miracle from God. The remarkable victories of Jewish armies against overwhelming odds in successive battles in 1948, and 1967, and 1973 are clearly miracles from God. The technological marvels of Israeli industry, the military prowess, the bounty of Israeli agriculture, the fruits and flowers and abundance of the land are a testimony to God's watchful care over this new nation and the genius of this people.

Anyone that goes against Israel touches the apple of God’s eyes, and that is very irritating.  “For thus says the LORD of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye”, Zechariah 2:8 and will be curse Genesis 12:3.

There is a coming event that will prove to the whole world nations that God love Israel.“Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it? Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. 

You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.”  Thus says the Lord GOD: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them? 


“And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord GOD, “that My fury will show in My face. 

For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: ‘Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.’  I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains,” says the Lord GOD. “Every man’s sword will be against his brother.  


And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.  Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the LORD.”’ 
Ezekiel 38:14-24, Ezekiel 39:7

Russia allied with the Muslim Arab nations will one more time war against Israel.  It will look like this time they will succeed in eliminating Israel.  It will be like a hopeless condition for Israel.  Again, God will intervene as He did in the past.  This time no one will deny that it was God intervention. 




God made a promise to Abraham that whoever bless him will be bless and whoever curse him will be curse, Genesis 12:3.  Look at the 130 countries that officially recognized Palestine as a state based on the 1967 borders, led by the rising global player such as Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Uruguay, Ecuador and Venezuela. All nations that condemn Israel and goes against Israel have huge economic problem.  Europe and United States economy are doom to collapse. Under The Right Honourable Prime Minister Stephen Harper government, Canadians has been protected against the economic woes.  Canada is prospering, “I will bless those who bless you”, Genesis 12:3.  It is God doing by keeping His promise.  Keep supporting Israel no matter what.  5.6 millions Jews were exterminated by the Nazi regime.  All German cities were burned to the ground.  As the saying goes, "What goes around come around".  Wouldn't you prefer receiving blessing? 

Palestinians Life Style Is Not As Bad As The Western Media Portray. 

Mathilde Redmatn, a senior Red Cross official in Gaza, has been quoted in Israeli media as saying, “There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza. If you go to the supermarket, there are products. There are restaurants and a nice beach.” Washington Watch: Ships of fools - By Douglas M Bloomfield, JPost.com, July 6, 2011

I congratulate our Honourable Prime Minister Stephen Harper
"I Will Defend Israel 'whatever the cost'"

Please watch: Fault Lines - Canada-Israel: The other special relationship

I congratulate our Honourable Prime Minister Stephen Harper for the courageous stand he is taking since he took office in 2006. Please see letter to Honourable Prime Minister Stephen Harper by David Harris, Executive Director, American Jewish Committee (AJC) and Senior Associate, St. Antony's College, Oxford University, assesses challenges to Jewish security worldwide.  Here’ an excerpt:

When Israel responded to the killing and kidnapping of its soldiers on the Lebanese border by targeting Hezbollah, Stephen Harper spoke up for Israel’s right to defend itself, citing Hezbollah as responsible for the violence and asserting that the terrorist group sought Israel’s destruction.

In the same year, the 53 French-speaking countries known as the Francophonie met, Canada vetoed language to condemn Israeli violence against civilians in Lebanon because it failed to mention Israeli civilians targeted by Hezbollah. You stated: “The Francophonie cannot recognize victims according to their nationality. Recognize the victims of Lebanon and the victims of Israel.”

In 2008, during a radio interview on the eve of Israel’s 60th anniversary, Stephen Harper spoke with characteristic clarity:

“What I see happening in some circles is an anti-Israel sentiment, really just a thinly disguised veil for good old-fashioned anti-Semitism, which I think is completely unacceptable. We learned in the Second World War that those who would hate and destroy the Jewish people would ultimately hate and destroy the rest of us as well, and the same holds today.”

When, a few months later, terrorists attacked a Jewish center in Mumbai, Stephan Harper described the murder of six people, including the rabbi and his pregnant wife, as “affronts to the values that unite all civilized people.” When a new rabbi was quickly installed, you declared that the Jewish people will “never bow to violence and hatred.”

In January 2009, when the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council called on Israel to stop its military operation in Gaza, Canada alone voted against. (Note: The United States was not on the Council at the time.)  Stephen Harper representative explained: “It was regretful that the current draft resolution did not condemn the rocket attacks on Israeli civilians.”

That spring, when the UN planned to convene the Durban II conference in Geneva, a follow-up to the anti-Israel hatefest of 2001, Stephen Harper were the first to declare that Canada would not attend. And now, as Durban III approaches this September, you have again taken the same position.
When, in the fall of 2009, the UN General Assembly endorsed the infamous Goldstone Report, Canada was one of only 18 countries that voted against, while 114 were in favor and 44, including, notably, France and the United Kingdom, abstained.

The next year, when Canada lost a bid for a rotating seat on the UN Security Council, Stephen Harper attributed the result to Ottawa’s pro-Israel stance. You declared that, if this were the price to pay for supporting a friend, you were willing to pay it. As a Winnipeg newspaper editorialized, “We don’t have a seat because we didn’t dance to the UN’s hypocritical tunes.”

 When Israel, the only country in the world whose very existence is under attack, is consistently and conspicuously singled out for condemnation, I believe we are morally obligated to take a stance.... I have the bruises to show for it, that whether it is at the UN or any other international forum, the easiest thing to do is simply to just get along and go along with this anti-Israel rhetoric, to pretend it is just about being even-handed, and to excuse oneself with the label of “honest broker”.... There are, after all, a lot more votes – a lot more – in being anti-Israel than in taking a stand. But, as long as I am prime minister, whether it is at the UN or the Francophonie or anywhere else, Canada will take that stand, whatever the cost. Not just because it is the right thing to do, but because history shows us, and the ideology of the anti-Israel mob tell us all too well, that those who threaten the existence of the Jewish people are a threat to all of us.

And when the G8 leaders met in France a few days ago, you again bucked the trend. Drawing from President Obama’s May 19th speech, the final communiqué’s draft language called on Israelis and Palestinians to begin talks on the basis of the 1967 lines, with mutually-agreed territorial swaps. You, however, pointed out that President Obama’s speech touched on other critical elements as well, including recognition of Israel as a Jewish state and Palestine as a non-militarized state. Therefore, it was inappropriate to “cherry pick,” as Stephen Harper successfully insisted, selected elements of the president’s speech for the G8 statement.

"Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for demonstrating that, when it comes to the Middle East, “Moral courage and a hankering to learn the truth” aren’t “on vacation” in Ottawa."

I wish to thank also Honourable Irwin Cotler, Former Liberal party’s Special Counsel on Human Rights and International Justice and Former Attorney General and Minister of Justice of Canada, for calling on Canada to take action under the U.N. Charter to have Iran called to account for its violation of the Convention.  As he point out, “Canada not only have a right to invoke the Convention to prevent genocide but also are under an obligation to do so. Article 8 of the Convention reads: Any Contracting Party may call upon the competent organs of the United Nations as they consider appropriate for the prevention and suppression of acts of genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in Article 3.”

Irwin Cotler also points out that the making of genocide consists not only of the machinery of death but also the state sponsorship of incitement to hatred, which is forbidden by the Convention. Mr. Cotler writes, “As international tribunals have recognized and affirmed, the Holocaust did not begin in the gas chambers; it began with words. These are the chilling facts of history.”

God bless Israel, and God bless Canada.




Do you understand now why Canada is so blessed?  You want God's blessing...all you have to do is to accept His Son Jesus and bless Israel.

The intended beneficiary of the stunt is a ruling group with close ties to two of the most retrograde dictatorships in the Middle East, each of which has recently been up to its elbows in the blood of its own civilians.

Atheist…Jesus loves you.

And I Can Prove It

In Return, Prove To Me That You Are Atheist!

To Believe Or Not To Believe That Is A Choice

Believe it …Jesus loves you, although you may wonder why?  Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”  Why would Jesus forgive you?  Because you are being deceived.  You, atheists and the Jews’ authority in the time of Jesus have something in common, and that is ‘unbelief.’  The Jews’ authority chose not to believe that God was among them through Jesus.  You also made a choice not to believe in God, period. 

You choose not to believe in God inasmuch as Christians have chosen to believe in God, and much more, in Jesus as Lord.  To use God’s Words, the Bible, to prove God's existence is futile since you do not accept the validity of His Words through man. We are faced with belief vs. unbelief. Christians are considered as unbelievers of the non-existence of God.  Hearsay vs. hearsay!

Nobody seems to be able to prove whether God exists or not. Atheists cannot prove that God does not exist, and Christians cannot prove without the use of the Bible that Jesus is the one that God had sent to save all souls from a terrible destiny in an eternal lake of fire called hell.  Many have died believing in Jesus, and many more died not believing in Jesus. Since more have died without accepting Jesus than those who did, does the majority win the vote that God doesn’t exist?  No one came back from the dead to reveal that Jesus is or not God.


Albert Einstein had a personal view of God and evil.  There are many reasons that since God created all things,  God therefore created evil.  View Albert Einstein's retort to his physics teacher on this subject. 

So, Christians cannot use the Bible to convince atheists because they believe that man wrote the bible, which is true.  You don’t believe that the Bible is God’s inspiring words, either.  So what can I say?  What proof can I use, and what argument can I use? It all comes down to making a choice, to believe or not to believe; that is a choice. Please watch this video, "God vs. Atheism: Which is More Rational?" 

To Believe or not to Believe is a choice.

For Christians to believe in the non-existence of God is disturbing.  It is the same for an atheist to believe in the existence of God because you would then be accountable for the choice of your eternal destiny, heaven or hell. One Christian testimony of answered prayers is not sufficient to persuade an atheist. One atheist testimony of circumstantial evidence defined as pure luck is also not sufficient to persuade a Christian of God’s nonexistence. So Christians and atheists alike face a dilemma…no one can prove whether God exists or not. 

Atheists and Christians are no better off than historians.  Historians debate facts from myth, trying to put the past together. Archeology studies could be viewed as the result of acceptable speculation, not proof.  And even proof can easily be dismissed. For example, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejects all facts and proof that the Holocaust against Jews ever took place.  And you know, for somebody who did not go through or seen the horror of concentration camps of the Second World War, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's assumptions are considered true by many.  I could be watching a video documentation of a bloody battle scene of D-Day and conclude that it was made in Hollywood.  So you see, a choice is made to believe or not.

Humans have one huge flaw, and that is we forget.  We do not remember more than one generation at best.  Christians and atheists are no better than historians who debate the validity of documents that may help to clarify any facts from hearsay, which could be used as propaganda.  That is the case concerning the ownership of Jerusalem.  Palestinians contradict the Jewish connection to Jerusalem.  The Palestinians invent their own history and accuse Israel of liars even as it lays claim to the sole rights over the entire city.

By 1990, the Islamic spotlight on Jerusalem reached such a bizarre standoff the Palestinians denied the city's sacred and historical importance to Jews.  The Palestinian Arab establishment promoted a false claim by reconstructing history with an equal part of lies.  They had made Jewish connections to the land of Israel obsolete.

Here is an excerpt of a commentary by Daniel Pipes titled “What Jewish Ties to Jerusalem?”

“Palestinian Arabs now claim that Canaanites built Solomon's Temple, that the ancient Hebrews were Bedouin tribesmen, the Bible came from Arabia, the Jewish Temple " was in Nablus or perhaps Bethlehem," the Jewish presence in Palestine ended in 70 C.E., and today's Jews are descendants of the Khazar Turks. Yasser Arafat himself created a non-existent Canaanite king, Salem, out of thin air, speaking movingly about this fantasy Palestinian Arab "forefather." Palestinian Media Watch sums up this process: By turning Canaanites and Israelites into Arabs and the Judaism of ancient Israel into Islam, the Palestinian Authority "takes authentic Jewish history, documented by thousands of years of continuous literature, and crosses out the word 'Jewish' and replaces it with the word 'Arab'." 

What would be gained by the Palestinians to distort history? They would gain Western media support.  So you see, if these changes in historical facts are being altered today, what is to say that the history of mankind has not been altered also?  What if the history of the origin of mankind has been distorted?  What would be its purpose?  What would be its motive? One thing is sure… its main purpose would be hiding the truth.  What would be gained from hiding the truth?  Your soul... the purpose of your existence.

Now, allow me to speculate, and you could come up with your own conclusion.

What if, yes, there was a lost tribe that kept a record of the origin of time.  What if that lost tribe had an ancient manuscript in a language that ceased to exist thousands of years ago?  What if that tribe had kept records of the lineage of all the tribe's descendants?  And what if that manuscript described a world that existed at one time and had no proof of its existence today except for myth and legend?  What if this mysterious tribe mentions a God that used to walk with man at the beginning of time. What if the tribe described this God as to be the creator of all that exists? What if that tribe is Israel, the Jews, and that the manuscript is the Torah, better known as the Five Books of Moses?  Could that be proof? 

One day in the late 19th Century, Queen Victoria of England reportedly asked her Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, this question..."Mr. Prime Minister, what evidence can you give me of the existence of God?" Disraeli thought for a moment and then replied, "The Jew, your majesty."

“Thus says the Lord Who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night; Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; the Lord of hosts is His name. If this fixed order departs from before Me, declares the Lord, then the children of Israel also will cease forever, from being a nation before Me." Jeremiah 31:35, 36

What if Israel is the proof that God exists? Think about it; their land has been under foreign occupation for 2,553 years, from 586 B.C.   In 1948, the United Nations established a renewed state of sovereignty for Israel.  In 1967, the Jewish army miraculously captured Jerusalem during the Six-Day War.  What if I tell you that these events came true as prophesied in the Old Testament?

Here is an excerpt of a Newsletter from Lambert Dolphin at http://www.ldolphin.org/news/newsletter-109.html

“God brought the people of Israel together at Mt. Sinai, there forming them into a nation (about 1500 BC). This was just after He delivered them from 430 years of enslavement in Egypt. The Lord God promised Israel that they would have a permanent place in history, eventually assuming leadership over all of the ~70 nations in the world. This covenant God made with Israel extends earlier unconditional promises with Israel given to Moses. These promises have never been rescinded or altered. Some students of the Bible have failed to notice that the right of the Jews to live in the land given to Abraham and to them by God is conditional. Twice the Jews have been temporarily excluded from living in their own land because of very serious disobedience. A very key sign that the "Second Exile" is ending in our time is the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948.

There remains a series of events, soon to unfold, called by the Jews "The Final Redemption," during which time Israel will undergo spiritual rebirth and her appointed Messiah will appear in person. Militarily, Israel will win a final great world war and be elevated to Chief among the nations. The terrible violence, suffering and death at the end of the age will greatly reduce he world population. During his three-year teaching time on earth, ~2000 years ago, Jesus Christ announced that He would build "His church," thus completing the second half of covenantal promises to Abraham. God promised that Abraham would be the father of all true believers, divided them into an earthly people, the nation of Israel, and a people having a heavenly called, the church, or "Bride of Christ." (The New Testament provides us with a rich history of the "church age.") Following the death and resurrection and ascension of Jesus, while Israel has scattered in exile around the world-- (their land desolate and unused), the God of Israel has seen to it that the message of God's love and redemption to the entire world was never silenced for long. The "gospel" began with Israel, but excludes no one. All signs point to the completion of the church any day now. Romans 9, 10, and 11 go over in detail the difference between Israel and the Church. Both entities have a permanent role in God's plans for mankind.”

Let us speculate further: God chose a man out of gentile nations to start a new lineage called the Children of Israel with a language called Hebrew.  For what purpose?  For two purposes: to keep documentation of His relationship with mankind and to make known His intention with mankind.  The man chosen was Abram, but his name was changed later to Abraham.  This man, Abraham, called the "father of all who believe," was born in what is Iraq about 4200 years ago.  What makes Abraham so special?  He was no better than the so-called Bob.  It could have been Bob; he could have been known as 'Bobraham.'  It could have been you.  It was God’s choice.

You may wonder why God wouldn’t just show himself to me.  And if He does, who then would believe you?  Look at the example of the Apostle Paul; he persecuted Christians, Jesus appeared to him, and the Jewish authorities did not believe him and tried to kill him.  This is how Paul describes himself, “although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief,” 1 Timothy 1:13. Sound familiar?

Can you imagine Jesus appearing to you having a conversation with you? Would your friends’ atheists believe you?  Would you believe a friend who testified that Jesus spoke to him?  Let then Jesus show himself to a whole group of people.  Why not prove his power?  My answer is he already did so, and a few believed.  You see, it is one thing to believe in the existence of God; it is another to accept him.

The Torah and Old Testament are a transcript of testimonies of God's appearance and demonstration of His presence among us.  The Old Testament holds God's testimonies to man, woman, and nations.  It holds testimonies of acceptance or rejection of God.

Even today, you hear of someone who had rejected his or her father for whatever reason.  Some declared that their father does not exist in their life anymore because of past abuse.  Unfortunately, many view God as of the same nature as their physical father.  Some blame God for taking away someone they loved.  Some blame God for the abuse they experience and blame God for not intervening, therefore not only rejecting God but denying His existence.  Many are those who say, if there is a God, why does he allow all the suffering?  It is not God that is evil but us.  If God would intervene (in many cases, He does), to whose standard of morality would He use?  Bob’s, John’s, Mary’s, or yours?

Sins cause suffering.  We are all guilty of sins and of hurting someone.  We all have harmed someone, if not physically or emotionally.  Some more than others.  The abuser and the abused need healing.  Moreover, until we cease to blame God and others and do not accept that we, too, are guilty of disobedience, we will be separated from God forever. 

We are condemned to bear our suffering for eternity with Satan, who has deceived the whole world.  Satan took advantage of your misfortune and resentments to turn you against God.  What would be gained from hiding the truth?  YOU. Satan doesn’t want to be alone in hell, and he wants you.  He doesn’t want you to believe.  Please read, “To become a Christian, that is easy, First & Final Stepl.”

That is why Jesus intervenes in your life.  He decided on His own to pay for the penalty of our disobedience.  “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).  That is the simplicity of the gospel, to believe.  Believe in the One that God had sent, and that is Jesus (John 5:24).  The Old Testament mentions and prophesies about Jesus.

For a detailed description of prophetic events, read the following commentary by Jack Kelley titled "Prophecies Of The Lord’s Death And Resurrection" at  http://gracethrufaith.com. 

“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God,” John 3:18.  

Like it or not, ‘Satan owns you’.  You are already condemned.  That is the reason Jesus died: to deliver you from Satan.  Jesus wants to own you back.

“He who believes in the Son has everlasting life, and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36).  The wrath of God, meaning in our day and age is “God hard love.”  He lets you choose your destiny; that is how much He respects and loves you. To know more about "God's hard love," please listen to the following sermon with Andy Faller from Calvary Fellowship Ottawa. 

Many more believed because of His own word,” (John 4:41).  Your destiny is now in your hand.  Make the choice not only to believe in the existence of a God but to accept Jesus as the One that God had sent to save you from an awful destiny.

I invite you to believe and to accept Jesus.  He loves you, and He wants to share His inheritance with you.  It’s about you.  No one can make that decision for you… Choose life.

If you are not convinced yet, and you are more of an intellectual, please listen to this YouTube presentation: We Are All Called To Defend The Faith - Pastor Eric Douma.

You now have been witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Do you believe you are a sinner?  Do you believe you are hopelessly lost without a saviour?  Do you believe God sent His Son to die for your sins? Do you accept His death as payment in full for your sins?  If you answer yes to these questions…tell it to Jesus… ask for His forgiveness, and God will send His Holy Spirit… a seal for eternity.  You are now a son of God.  Son of God is a title given to all men and women believers.
