Many in Israel Expect Yeshua's Return Soon

The city of Jerusalem (© istockphto/luoman; jcarillet)

When we arrived in Israel in 1983, a very pretty two-story apartment with a small garden awaited us. It was owned by an orthodox rabbi from Canada who saw us "Gentiles" as a prophetic sign that the nations would be coming up to Jerusalem to worship the God of Israel.

So convinced was he that he actually had his lawyer include an interesting clause in our rental contract. It says, "When the Messiah comes, the Hilsdens must vacate the apartment by the end of the month." He wasn't joking.

When he and his wife dropped by to see us, though, we did kid around a little. We said, "No problem. We may be gone by then, and you'll get all our stuff." He countered, "And when He comes, we'll be sure to ask Him if He's been here before."

Jerusalem, it has been said, is a prophetic "epicenter," and even though my husband (who is a theologian) and I have not really parked on a fixed or detailed eschatological view, still we agree with the rabbi: We are living in the last days, and we, with him, are living in expectation.

There is a blessing on those who read the book of Revelation (Rev. 22:7). The writer John didn't provide us with a commentary. Its meaning is still shrouded, even though men have attempted over and over to apply it to contemporary places, events and people. There is a stern warning not to add or subtract from the book (vv. 18-19). Yet every time something significant happens, we pore over the prophecies to see if we can connect the newspapers to the Bible.

Sometimes we do find eerie correlations. Today's Jerusalem does seem like the "heavy stone" described in Zechariah 12 (NKJV). The "mark of the beast" does not seem as far-fetched as it did a hundred years ago. The frequent earthquakes and natural disasters do bring to mind Yeshua's words about "birth pains" in Matthew 24 (NIV). Don't forget that those who were living in expectation recognized from prophecy the first coming of Yeshua 2,000 years ago.

The main thing is that we must live like servants who are expecting their master to walk in the door any second. We must be "pulling people out of the fire" as if we expected the ceiling to fall any second. We weren't told to live in a panic but to be "on the job" and about the business that Yeshua assigned us to do. He's told us that we can't know when. But He gave us signs to watch for and warned us to be at our post and be faithful, wise and watchful.

Read Matthew 24—and if you have time, chapter 25 as well.

I want to be ready, Yeshua, for the day that You appear. Help me to be at Your business. Keep me from distractions, laziness and self-seeking. Pull me back in when I stray, because I want You to say to me, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Maranatha! Amen, come, Lord Yeshua!

Morris Ruddick - THE MODEL IN MOTION

Morris Ruddick

THE MODEL IN MOTION
(c) Morris E. Ruddick

"For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you

no greater burden than these necessary things." Acts 15:28

The world's system is being shaken. Tenets of leadership, once accepted

as the standard, are in question. The response of God's chosen to this

shaking; the response needed to impact nations requires more than

what can be done in the natural. It demands a community-level response

and a higher level of leadership.

The response needed is to foundationally restore God's order. The response

will flow from the ancient model of God-centered entrepreneurial

community being fully set in motion by a people mobilized in God.

Within Christendom today are remarkable models to mobilize churches.

Likewise, the last generation has seen incredible models that have

mobilized missionaries. Now, we have entered the time of mobilizing

the marketplace. All this has been good.

However, in each of these cases there's been a serious blind-spot. That

blind-spot is created from the premise that if you are successful in one area,

then success will follow in other areas. The blind-spot has also held that

if you just employ a successful Western church model, then by doing it

enough it will transform society. Not so.

Church growth should be the by-product rather than the goal. Mobilizing

missionaries should be the by-product rather than the goal. Spiritual

success first pivots on changing the spiritual climate to the level that it

impacts a culture. It is a process. It is a process that emanates from

God's order. At its crux is the restoration of the biblical model that fully

embraces the interactive dynamic of the spiritual, the economic and

community, all operating in concert.

Getting the Model Right

The greatest heroes of faith were catalysts for change; they countered

worldly standards with God's wisdom to bring strategic-level change. In

each case, they heard from God, and harnessed strategies from the

Spirit of the Lord that shifted the spiritual climate and impacted the

culture. In the cases of Joseph and Daniel, against all odds, this shift

was done from within the world's system.

In the cases of Moses and David, the standard of God's order was

elevated and the shift began as the community was mobilized to

respond. In all of these cases, the catalyst was a unique brand of

leadership; leadership by anointing.

Getting the Priorities Right

Let's tell it like it is. The marketplace movement is attracting many

who operate on the unspoken premise that if you just throw enough

money at something, then the result will have God's blessing and bring

the needed restoration. Some assert that if we just plant Western

churchianity around the world, it will solve all the problems.

Yet, despite all the mobilization of recent years, both the West and

the world seem to have more problems now than ever. America's

leadership is divided and the nation is teetering economically.

Haiti has had a lot of money thrown at it; ten times more in aid than

it has had investment. Still it remains for the most part under the

bondage of corruption. Nigeria, considered one of the most evangelized

nations in the world remains one of the most lawless and impoverished.

Churches there are escape-hatches from the moral degradation that

reigns around them. There indeed needs to be something more that

brings genuine change.

Discerning God's Big-Picture

As a whole, worldly success and power has blinded us to the urgent

need for God's ancient model. It is a spiritual shortsightedness that

tends to result in our majoring in minors and getting the priorities wrong.

Jesus told the Pharisees that they strained gnats and swallowed camels.

In all their religious priorities, they missed the forest for the trees.

Jesus warned that in the latter days, indeed the days we have entered,

that we should be wary of false prophets and false messiahs who misguide.

We should beware of modern-day Pharisees with myopic mind-sets, whose

leadership causes us to miss the big-picture and the model drawn from

the ancient paths.

There is a need to restore and a need to revive things spiritually. It involves

more than mobilizing people and organizations; it involves the release of a

people who, as a community, will demonstrate the reality of God. That's at

the foundation of revival, when it is the Spirit of the Lord truly orchestrating

things, rather than man.

It goes back to the opening scripture and the words of the Apostle James

as he set in order the priority of the "necessary things" for the early church.

Over the centuries, God's ways through His people has had a pattern. It's

been the simple things that have confounded the wise, as the Lord has

used ordinary people to do extraordinary things to break the mold; the mold

of the bondage of corruption. That takes God being at the helm of decisions.

That means leaders and a community who truly hear His voice.

The Model in Motion

Something very significant happens when a community begins operating

in the way that God intended. King David's leadership exemplified this.

When Israel and Judah came together it brought about the dynamic of

dominion. That is God's original mandate. The rest of the world stood in

awe, because it was recognized that God was with them. That wasn't all.

With dominion established, it led them into a time of great peace and

prosperity reflective of God's order restored.

Historically, when Jews have been a part of another culture, the dynamic

of community has proven to make them stand out and shine as

disproportionate achievers and contributors. Only one other ethnic

group prospers so well when operating as a culture within a culture

and that is the Chinese.

Yet, the strategy is not just community, but business-based community.

When God is at the helm, it flourishes even more. In a handful of Asian

nations, the Chinese also represent the foundation of Christians. Their

employment of Christian community far excels anything even approached

by Christians in the West.

Years ago in the West, an attempt was made to replicate community

parameters in corporate settings. A book was written about it in the 1

950s titled "The Organization Man." It fell short as a culture driven by

conformity and blind-obedience.

God's Strategy of Community

However, God's dynamic of community is very different. It is one of service

and cooperation. It is one of nurturing and fostering opportunity for others.

It is a safe-place with God at the center with His people sharing a common

purpose as they apply their diversity of gifts for the common good. It is a

light shining in the darkness because God is there. It is God's people

operating beyond that place of human effort turning the ordinary into the

extraordinary; an assembly of those known by His name operating in the

exponential in making a difference by enabling others. It is the group

setting through which God's Kingdom rule is established.

God's strategy of community pivots on being a trust society; with influence

extended to those around them. It ignites a God-centered middle class

bearing the potential for growth and increase. Since God has had a people,

in civilizations without a middle class, God has sent the Jewish people in

to serve this function as merchants and bankers and people of business.

In these roles, they have become a people of influence and change, as

they have served as advisors to kings, rulers and leaders in governments

and businesses with the wisdom of God's standards.

When God's people begin truly operating in community; when the model

is set in motion, it is then that God's full strategies begin to be released.

This has quite often been in conjunction with the pressures of operating

against impossible odds. Yet, under pressure, this has been how God's

strategy operates at its best: Light against darkness. Again and again,

the pressures have galvanized and melded the role of community and the

role of community leaders.

The model that began with Abraham, of God-centered, entrepreneurial

community works. It works against the odds.

Alignment for the Strategy

When priorities became confused in the first century church, the

Apostle James decreed the need to give focus to the "necessary things."

So it is today, that many with good intentions have been majoring in

minor things. Priorities have been approached in reverse. There is a

need for the alignment of God's strategy.

We've entered a time when the roots to the faith that were expunged by

Constantine in the fourth century are being restored and released, with

great impact. It's through the simple things that God is confounding the

"wise." The results are breaking the mold; and building a path into the

restoration of God's order and the fulfillment of His purposes for His creation.

Biblical community is the necessary ingredient to embrace the strategies

needed for the times we have entered: to prepare and to be prepared as

the world hits the disconnects of its paradigms.

Disruptive Strategies and Anointings

That means preparing for change that will challenge the old order of things.

It is change that pivots not on heightened religious activity that marked the

Pharisees, but rather on God's order for a society, with the foundational

truths outlined in the Torah. It is change that disrupts the counterfeits

and establishes God's Kingdom dynamic.

Within business terms, a disruptive technology or innovation creates a

new market or value structure. It eventually goes on to disrupt an existing

market or value structure, often displacing what may have been a technology

standard. It typically happens unexpectedly, first by innovations designed

for a different set of consumers in a new market and later by lowering

prices in an existing market.

Not unlike the way that personal computers established a whole new order

of how business is conducted, God's people historically have employed

disruptive strategies in the process of restoring God's order. Leadership-wise,

the heroes of faith operated with disruptive anointings. They were change

artists establishing a new standard and order of things; God's order.

God's disruptive strategies and anointings are explosive. There are three

age-old, big-picture targets for God's disruptive strategies within the

marketplace today: economic, cultural and power. These are the

"necessary things."

Economic. Economically, God has had the original economy. It is based

on the Lord, both individually and community-wise being the Senior Partner

and leading the way.

Cultural. Culturally, we have the examples of both Joseph and Daniel, who

despite the extreme adversity and culture of sorcery, changed the spiritual

climate of pagan nations and established God's order to harness their

resources for God's purposes.

Power. Power-wise, Jesus spent His earthly ministry raising the bar and

endowing a small group of followers with the keys to employ righteous

power in a corrupt world.

We've entered a new season. It is a time to be prepared. It is a time to

prepare and be poised to put the model in motion.

It is a time for leaders to see beyond the blind-spots and counterfeits;

and get God's big-picture perspective right. It is a time to reach beyond

our false illusions and start applying this age-old, three-fold model of the

spiritual, community and the economic working together.

It is a time to be alert for where believers, communities large enough to

be a culture within a culture, control the resources with the model in motion.

It is a time to be alert for alliances with modern-day pharaohs who seek

the prophetic wisdom and model that modern-day Josephs can apply to

their resources. Of the top 100 world economies, 53 are corporations.

There's a world whose hopeless condition is looking for the REALITY of

God operating, within a people, who can truly demonstrate it.

Before us is the change, the paradigm shift of all ages. The need is

for those who will hear God's voice and obey; mobilized communities

who will apply their disruptive anointings and set the model in motion.

The need is for prophetic stewards, who like Joseph, are blessed to

be a blessing; who wield the authority of the anointing to lead the

displacement of the bondages economically, culturally and power-wise;

and with a focus on the necessary things, to restore God's order.

"And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and establish

the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands."

Psalm 90:17

Fifth Minor Trembler Shakes Northern Israel

CBNNews.com Tuesday, October 22, 2013

JERUSALEM, Israel -- A minor 3.3-magnitude earthquake rumbled near the Sea of Galilee Tuesday morning, the fifth in less than a week. Though tremors were felt, there were no injuries or damage. Israeli seismologists say they're fairly common.

Tuesday's trembler followed four minor quakes in northern Israel over the past five days, two on Sunday, another early Saturday and another last Thursday evening.

The string of quakes prompted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to convene a meeting Monday morning on earthquake preparedness. The Home Front Command and emergency response personnel met separately to discuss preparedness for a major quake.

Last month, a 3.5-magnitude quake could be felt in Jerusalem and the northern Dead Sea. A week ago Sunday, a 6.4-magnitude quake off the coast of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea caused tremors in Athens and could also be felt in parts of Israel and Egypt.

The last major quake in Israel occurred in 1927, killing 500, injuring 700 and inflicting heavy damage in Nablus (biblical Shechem) -- as well as destroying the Al Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount.

Nearly a century earlier, the "Safed earthquake" struck on January 1, 1837, killing some 5,000 people and destroying most of Safed and several Arab villages in the vicinity.

Blessing, Curse or Co-incidence? Volume I - Israel, the Womb of the Kingdom (Lance Lambert)

Lance Lambert

"Israel - The Womb of the Kingdom of God on Earth" is the first documentary in the "Blessing, Curse or Coincidence?" trilogy.

It is about God's decision to save the world, and Man's attempts to oppose it. Central to the execution of God's purpose to redeem mankind is the nation of Israel. We also see how God deals with those who oppose His purposes. This is what the Lord's promise to Abraham "I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you" is all about (Genesis 12:3).

The whole trilogy is presented by Lance Lambert and this first documentary is packed with foundational Biblical teaching on God's covenant purposes. The two-hour DVD is divided into nine chapters and is accompanied by brief Bible study notes for use in small groups.

This is the short trailer.
