IS IT GOD OR IS IT SATAN? - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

IS IT GOD OR IS IT SATAN?

Now Think On This

Steve Martin

“Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.” (Romans 11:22, NKJV)

Judgment or just “Mother Nature”? The hand of God or “global warming”? God or Satan?

Many opinions, many voices, many on both sides trying to tell us what is going on. Who are you to believe? Should you fear the Lord, in reverence and awe, or should you fear the devil, who always attempts to imitate his Creator? Which is it? Or rather, who is it?

As a believer in the Lord Jesus, Yeshua, I must look to the Written Word, the Bible, the Torah, the Tanakh, to find the answers. Even with all the prophetic voices giving what may seem to be conflicting declarations at times, discernment and clarity can be achieved and known. God Himself has spoken, and written it down. We need not be as those who have no understanding. We can, and must, know the will of the Lord and what He is doing in our times. For these are indeed the end of days, the end of this time, the pre-lude to what is yet to come.

How do I know? Because His very Word tells me so. Yes, “the Bible tells me so.”

Who was the one who made the following occur? God or Satan? The answer is written by God Himself, as these historical events happened and were recorded. (Red emphasis mine for emphasis!)

1.      “Then I myself will bring the flood of water over the earth to destroy from under heaven every living thing that breathes; everything on earth will be destroyed. But I will establish my covenant with you; you will come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife and your sons’ wives with you.” Genesis 6:17-18 (Complete Jewish Bible)

2.      “Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere — this was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.” Genesis 13:10 (NASU)

3.      ‘I sent Moshe and Aharon, I inflicted plagues on Egypt in accordance with what I did among them, and afterwards I brought you out.” Joshua 24:5-6 (CJB)

4.       And even the Lord’s servants had His power granted to them: “And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.” 2 Kings 1:10 (KJV)

And the entire Book of Revelation, as Jesus Himself told to John, isn’t a make-believe story or a book of images to allow us to make up our own fascinations and metaphors. It is real, and will really happen.

Talk about watching a reality show – this is the big one.

Many living today will see it, right before their very eyes. It doesn’t take a brain scientist to figure out what the Lord is clearly saying. (It does take a fool to say it is just global warming, or just “the same old same old”.)

Is God a good God? Yes He is! Does God love all of mankind? Yes He does! He sent His Only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, to save all who will come to Him, repent, and receive His eternal salvation for their spirit, soul and body.

Will God judge sinners? Yes He will. He cannot and will not allow evil, unrighteousness, death and destruction to continue on forever without judgment. Those who refuse to repent and believe - judgment is coming. It is coming even now upon earth.

These hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, signs in the heavens…ALL are from the Lord, Creator of heaven and earth. They are His attempt to get mankind to come to Him, call on His name, and receive eternal salvation before they face eternal hell, separated forever apart from Him.

The trumpet is being blown. The shofar has sounded. The angels have been released to do their assigned tasks, to help bring in the harvest.

Do not be deceived and think we can go on living, doing our own thing, believing in the lies and deception that the Lord has no say in it. He does. He is clearly speaking - loud and very clear.

And we must do our part in sharing His Good News to all who have ears to hear. Before it is too late.

Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).

Is the Feast of Trumpets Being Fulfilled In Our Day? - Brian Hennessy ISRAEL TODAY

Is the Feast of Trumpets Being Fulfilled In Our Day?

Jerusalem

As most Christian lovers of Israel now realize, the three major feasts or holy convocations God gave to Israel all pointed to a New Covenant fulfillment in Messiah. The Hebrew word for “convocation,” mikra, implies a “dress rehearsal.”

They were preparations for a deeper spiritual reality.

Although grouped into three convocations, there were actually seven feasts in number, requiring all Israel to be present in Jerusalem at the time of their celebration. They are Pesach (Passover, Leavened Bread, First Fruits), Shavout (Pentecost) and Succoth (Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Tabernacles). Those clustered around Passover and Pentecost are known as the Spring Feasts. Those connected to Tabernacles were the Fall Feasts. Taken together, all seven represent the salvation plan of God in Messiah.

Now we know the Spring Feasts have already had their New Covenant fulfillment.

Passover was fulfilled in Jerusalem when Yeshua was crucified for our sins on the very day the feast was celebrated. And his followers were born again. Pentecost too was fulfilled on the very date, the seventh Sunday after First Fruits, when the Holy Spirit was poured out on the early church.

But Tabernacles still awaits its spiritual fulfillment, which will no doubt also occur in its assigned season. And also take place in Jerusalem.

The question is, could we have actually witnessed the fulfillment of the first of the three fall feasts associated with Tabernacles, namely Trumpets, without realizing it?

I believe so.

It dawned on me recently that when Israel won the Six-Day War and recaptured Jerusalem and the Temple Mount on June, 7 1967 had to be the fulfillment of Trumpets on God’s calendar.

Here’s why.

When the Jews regained control of Jerusalem after 2000 years of exile it was like the blast of a shofar (trumpet) that sent a shockwave that resonated throughout Israel and around the world. Aside from the pure emotional excitement of the event, four major spiritual awakenings trace their beginnings to that day. All were in keeping with God’s assigned purposes for the blowing of trumpets, which were to announce special times, gather His people together, break camp or go to war.

The first awakening took place among assimilated Jews in Russia who suddenly rediscovered their Jewish heritage and wanted to go home to Israel. When Russia refused to let them go they were termed Refuseniks. Their courage in face of great persecution eventually won them international support and permission to emigrate.

A second awakening also occurred among the Jews, primarily in the West, when suddenly thousands began to believe in Yeshua as Messiah. That was the start of the Messianic Jewish Movement.

The third awakening erupted in the Christian world. After seeing the miraculous way Israel recaptured Jerusalem, tens of thousands of Christians suddenly realized God was fulfilling the ancient prophecies of Israel’s restoration. This led many to rediscover the Hebraic roots of our faith, inspiring the Christian Zionism Movement that has done so much to bless Israel as of late.

The fourth big awakening also took place among Christians and became known as the Charismatic Movement. Nominal Christians from the dead mainline churches were born again and began to move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

If I am correct in this, it means we are on the verge of seeing the fulfillment of the next holy convocation, which is the Day of Atonement. Called Yom Kippur by the Jews, it is the holiest day on their religious calendar and occurs ten days after Trumpets. Historically on that day the high priest entered the Holy of Holies to make atonement for the whole nation. Also, every fiftieth year on that date the trumpet was blown to announce the Year of Jubilee “when you shall proclaim a release [from all debts]… and each of you shall return to his own property” (Leviticus 25:10). It is the verse inscribed on the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia celebrating the 50th anniversary of the city’s founding.

It really gets exciting when we realize Jun. 7th of this year will be the fiftieth anniversary of the recapture of Jerusalem! Could that mean the Ten Days of Awe following Trumpets are over and God’s Yom Kippur could begin to be fulfilled this very year? Could we actually be on the verge of seeing Zechariah 12:10–14 come to pass in our day?

And one more thing. Could the election of Donald Trump(et) signal the final shofar sound of this feast day ? And if so, will he become the new King Cyrus who many Christians are likening him too? The one who released the Jews from Babylon and helped them restore their temple? Or will he prove to be the new Constantine, “that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts… who was waging war with the saints and overpowering them?” (Dan. 7:20,21) Will he be the Great Deceiver “who’ll take his seat in the temple displaying himself as being God” (2 Thess.2:4)?

Stay tuned.

Johnny Enlow: "Voices of Golden and Silver Trumpets"

Johnny Enlow:

Voices of Golden and Silver Trumpets

Oct. 6, 2013 From the desk of Steve Shultz: Sometimes all we need is a short and to the point word... which this  one by Johnny Enlow is. I know  many have been experiencing  an extremely intense time of testing.... BUT remember  that these tests strengthen and prepare you for the  days ahead. Can you relate to this statement by Johnny Enlow: There is an amazing "trial by fire" that many are  going through right now that is associated with the call upon their lives – these ones are voices of "Golden" and "Silver" Trumpets. These voices of golden trumpets and silver trumpets are sent from  Heaven to release the will of Papa on earth as it  is in Heaven. Be encouraged that He is making you into the trumpet – the Voice – He's called you to be in this hour. Steve Shultz

Johnny Enlow:
Voices of Golden and Silver Trumpets

There is an amazing "trial by fire" that many are going through 

right now that is associated with the call upon their lives – 

these ones are voices of "Golden" and "Silver" Trumpets. 

These voices of golden trumpets and silver trumpets are 

sent from Heaven to release the will of Papa on earth as 

it is in Heaven.

These are voices that are trumpeting in accord with Papa's 

heart of societal restoration – and the gates of Hell are in 

full panic mode at what these trumpets are able and will 

be able to release. Specifically there has been a diabolically 

released assignment against the present and future voices 

of God – and ALL of these assignments will fail.

My own niece was born two weeks ago with a paralyzed 

vocal cord, and everything about her name, her call, and 

prophetic markers tell us that she is one of these golden 

trumpets of God. Accordingly, she is already being 

miraculously healed – but, yes, after spending two 

weeks in intensive care.

My new adopted son, who is an amazing and accomplished 

singer with an unbelievable testimony, is in recovery for a 

surgery on his vocals cords and he is one of these "silver trumpets." 

He too is going to be more than fine.

Intense Tests

There are also seasoned men and women of God going 

through intense tests right now – tests the enemy has 

hoped would shut down their voices. These assignments 

are all destined for failure; and these men and women of 

God are all destined to release even more authority 

through their voices.

The only way the enemy can win – is if you quit. 

Outlast the trial and you will be in your next metron 

of authority. For all of these given the silver and golden 

trumpets, you will absolutely come back and you will 

rout the enemy.

You were given a great test so you could receive a 

great promotion. Worship your way through to victory.

Israel Today wishes all of our readers and supporters and the people of Israel a blessed Rosh Hashanah. We'd like to share with you the following thoughts and prayers as we celebrate this special season of renewal.

1) Trumpets are sounded at a coronation and God is hailed as King on this day. On Rosh Hashanah we give a special blast of the shofar (ram's horn) in recognition that the Almighty, the Sovereign One is Lord of Heaven and Earth.

May we acknowledge him in all our ways so that he will make our paths straight.

Let us remember that He is Lord over all the nations of the earth. He will have his way in Jerusalem, in Israel and among all the nations of the Middle East.

2) The shofar heralds the beginning of the season of renewal.

May this be a time for reflection and re-commitment to God.

Let us recommit ourselves and our families to all that is right and good in his sight.

3) The Torah was given on Sinai accompanied by blasts of the shofar.

Let us be bold to follow God's commandments even when it is not popular or comfortable.

Let us proclaim his truth courageously to the nations.

4) The Prophets compare their message to the sound of the shofar.

Let us not lose hope, but reopen our hearts to the possibilities of a better world for ourselves and for others.

5) Conquering armies gathered under the sound of the shofar blast.

May we be willing to take a bold stand against injustice, lies and corruption in society.

Let us remember the rights of the poor and oppressed in our midst.

6) The ram from whose horn the shofar is fashioned, was substituted for Isaac.

Let us offer up ourselves to love when it is costly or unpopular even as He who sacrificed himself for us an offering to cleanse and renew our spirits.

7) The prophet asks, "Shall the shofar be blown in a city and the people not tremble?" (Amos 3:6)

The Lord is shaking the nations. Only that which cannot be shaken will remain.

Let us serve God with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”

8) The prophet Zephanaiah speaks of "the great day of the Lord" as a "day of the shofar and alarm." (Zeph. 1:14,16)

As we contemplate the judgments of God coming even now on the earth, let us lift up our voices so that truth and mercy may be heard once again in the gates.

May the staff of Israel Today and all those who follow you continue to walk in humility before God our king and before man as we “speak the truth in love” to Israel and the nations.

9) The prophet Isaiah speaks of the great shofar which will herald the Messianic age. (Isa. 27:13)

Let us be patient and not grow weary in well doing for it is written that “at the proper time we shall reap if we do not give up.”

Be anxious for nothing, our times are in God's hands.

10) The shofar will be sounded at the resurrection.

Maimonides writes: "It is a divine decree that we blow the shofar on Rosh Hashanah. A hint of the following idea is contained in the command. It is as if to say: 'Awake from your slumber, you who have fallen asleep in life, and reflect on your deeds. Remember your creator. Be not of those who miss reality in the pursuit of shadows, and waste their lives in seeking after vain things which neither profit nor save. Look well to your souls and improve your character. Forsake each of you his evil ways and thoughts.'"
