Erasing Palestine

Romans 10:12, “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.”

Galatians 3:26-29, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

As a born-again Christian I love everybody. I am sick and tired of hearing Zionist brainwashed believers speak lovingly in support of Israel, while speaking nothing but contemptuously and with cruel intentions toward the Arab people in Palestine. Dear reader, you are not right with God if you love Jewish people more than Arab Muslims. As we read in our text passage, there is NO DIFFERENCE between Jew or Gentile, who are both alike saved by faith alone in Jesus Christ.

I heard a needful sermon today by Pastor Chuck Baldwin titled: “ERASING PALESTINE.” I am glad that Pastor Baldwin is taking a stand on this important issue, raising awareness to the hateful bigotry and wicked hatred of Muslims by Christians today. I am shocked, disgusted and saddened that I have been hearing professed Christian pastors and laymen alike calling for the total annihilation of the people in Gaza, in Palestine. May I say, present-day manmade Israel since 1948 is NOT the fulfillment of Bible prophecy concerning future Israel.

Before I say anymore, let me say that I HUMBLY DISGREE with Pastor Baldwin that there will be no Rapture of the Church. 1st Corinthians 15:51-58 and 1st Thessalonians 4:13-18 clearly teach the Rapture. These passages are very different from other Scripture passages about Jesus' Second Coming. What you choose to believe about the Rapture won't affect getting saved, but it will affect your attitude toward serving God. One of the hallmark foundational truths of Christendom is the imminent and sudden return of Jesus Christ without warning. Jesus could return today!!!

Kindly said, if Chuck Baldwin is correct that there will be no Rapture, then Jesus cannot return until the Man of Sin, Antichrist, first appears during the Tribulation period. We would know WHEN Jesus is coming back, because the book of Daniel tells us the exact number of days which will lapse between the Abomination of Desolation and Christ's return at the end of the Tribulation period. There will be 1,290 days (Daniel 12:11-12). Clearly, this contradicts the plainest teaching of the Scripture that no man know the time of Christ's return. I humbly think that the Bible teaches there will be a Pretribulation Rapture.
Letter from Our Palestinian brethren!

The Voice of Christian community from Palestine:

Excerpt:

We also remind ourselves and our Palestinian people that our sumud (“steadfastness”) is anchored in our just cause and our historical rootedness in this land. As Palestinian Christians, we also continue to find our courage and consolation in the God who dwells with those of a contrite and humble spirit (Isa 57:15). We find courage in the solidarity we receive from the crucified Christ, and we find hope in the empty tomb. We are also encouraged and empowered by the costly solidarity and support of many churches and grassroots faith movements around the world, challenging the dominance of ideologies of power and supremacy. We refuse to give in, even when our siblings abandon us. We are steadfast in our hope, resilient in our witness, and continue to be committed to the Gospel of faith, hope, and love, in the face of tyranny and darkness. “In the absence of all hope, we cry out our cry of hope. We believe in God, good and just. We believe that God’s goodness will finally triumph over the evil of hate and of death that still persist in our land. We will see here ‘a new land’ and ‘a new human being’, capable of rising up in the spirit to love each one of his or her brothers and sisters” (Kairos Palestine, §10).
Nearly everything that we've been told by the newsmedia and pastors in America regarding the present Middle East crisis is a lie. Innocent poor people in Gaza are being genocided. The latest death count is now at 6,700 dead Palestinians from Israel's missile bombs. ...

Is The Hamas/Israeli War A Part Of Bible Prophecy?
(October 15, 2023 - by Pastor Chuck Baldwin)

Israel has a world-class military with advanced weaponry, paid for by the United States (our wicked government gives Israel $4,000,000,000 each year). That is our money! Yet, the poor Palestinian people have nothing. Hamas is Hamas, not the poor people in Gaza. Israel is collectively punishing a bunch of poor people for what some terrorists are doing. As God's children we ought not take sides in this slaughter, but if I did have to take sides, it would be with the Palestinian victims. As believers our proper attitude should be that BOTH sides need to get born-again by faith in Jesus Christ. They all need Jesus! People need the dear Savior!!!

Thank you for reading my blog.
