This article is an overview of the contemporary Church as I see it today; sadly many are lining themselves up on the wrong side, purely through ignorance. How many people today are really searching the scriptures for truth, or is it more about the religion we are born into. There was only ever Jew and Gentile and these days we have thousands of Christian denominations all preaching that they have all the truth. Revelation 3 talks about spiritual blindness and unfortunately many are listening to the doctrines of men, puffed up with pride, lovers of being men of re-known, mentally counting their tithes and finally just like the world, running their Church as if it’s some ponzi business scheme. ‘Enough’ the Lord says, and I know their works, they have become lukewarm, and I will spew you out of my mouth said the Lord. It is time to tell the truth and this article will tackle it at its roots.The question I’m proposing to you the reader today is, why is the Christian West failing or better still, falling apart?
Well, what comes to mind I believe is the culture in today’s Church. Once upon a time Hellenistic origin, replacement theology and the doctrines of men crept into the Church ever so subtlety. Having been involved personally with Mormonism and Seventh-day Advent-ism, I can honestly say that the best thing I did was get the hell out of there. I guess Hell is the wrong word for it, or maybe not.
These days, I embrace the scriptures with a sense of adventure and by exploring new possibilities like a young school child on a school trip, I venture into the unknown again.
My new found belief on the Salvation of Jesus Christ and the importance of Grace is just an eye opener. You see I use to believe that if I didn’t belong to the 144,000 I would be lost for good. Also the Davidians believe they have all the truth and that only 144,000 saints will be saved out of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church and the rest of the Adventists would be slayed by the Angel in Ezekiel 9 or, laid to rest as being faithful, but too old to endure the time of Jacob’s trouble.
Man what a heavy trip, I’m sure it was this heavy trip that led to my breakdown and years of alcohol and drug addiction. I feel free again; the chains of bondage broken, the shackles coming off, and a new found freedom in Christ, the pure Gospel. If any of you, have been involved in a Cult, I would just like to congratulate you for coming out and being free to worship the Lord and embrace his, your new found love of Him.
What we really need to do is to go back to our Hebraic roots; we have distanced ourselves, the roots of our original faith, the new Jesus Revolution. Today in our services we see American Idol, pop and rock talent, mesmerizing contemporary music that through its cord structure has the ability to bring about a very subtle demonic atmosphere, so subtle that the congregation would spit in your face like Cobras or Death Adders if you told them otherwise.
Sloppy dress, if I said to you we are going to a Wedding wouldn’t you dress up? So now you are going into the presence of the Lord in the House of God, surely you would dress up wouldn’t you? Each week we go to Church, are we not in presence of the Bridegroom? Or am I being a bit over the top. What about all that gossip, that is spilt out to your neighbor in the pew during the service break, that you just can’t wait to tell. What I’m getting at is going back to our Hebraic roots a reverence in the Church as well as an appreciation of the Messianic ways.
There is so much we can learn from the Jews, especially with the Hebraic blessings over the family, which is central to the family. Their blessings are in the singing of scriptures to the Wives, Husbands and Children, for example, the Aaronic blessing, you see these blessings, are far more powerful than just a simple blessing you would get today from the pulpit in today’s Churches or in just mere lip service from your own brethren. These powerful Hebraic blessings are why the Jews today are number one, it is the Jews that we as Christians should be thanking, because Salvation is for the Jew first and we Gentiles are blessed through the Jews.
Jesus is Jewish, the Bible is Jewish, there was only the Old Testament in the time of Christ and the Torah is the pathway to live your life. I believe the New Testament, more importantly the Epistles are about Jew and Gentile and how to graft the latter in. You see the Jews bought it to us and we have much to thank them.
In Jewish culture the dining table is the family alter it is where the family pray and eat. You see our role today is in Romans 11:11 “I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy”. You see we have Jesus which is what the Jews need today but it’s all not one way. We need the Jews also because John 4:22 says, “You worship, you know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews”.
I have come to learn today that there will be a judgement of the nations for their treatment of the Jews and it comes from Gen 12:3 “and I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you, shall all families of the earth be blessed”. Also according to (FEMA) which is a record of the worst economic disasters, 9 out of 10 of the worst of these disasters have come about because certain Nations have come against Israel in relation to the division of the Land.

Obadiah 1:15 says “For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon your own head”.
Matt 25:40 (The Goat and Sheep Nations) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
TODAY’S TRUTH IS THE PURPOSE OF BREAKING DOWN THE MIDDLE PARTITION OR WALL BETWEEN JEW AND GENTILE
In 1897 the 1st Zionist congress – In America (Pentecostal Revival).
In 1948 Israel as a Nation – In America (The Big Tent Revival – Oral Roberts etc.).
In 1967 Israel six day war and victory – In America (The Big Charismatic Revival).
Brethren the truth and I believe this with all my heart is the breaking down of the middle wall between Jew and Gentile. The following is evidence to support this.
Isaiah 43:19 says “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert”. This is the One New Man, Jew and Gentile. In Malachi 4:6 says “and he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse”.
Again I believe this to be a reunion between Jew and Gentile, the Jew being the Father and the Gentile the Child. John 17:21 –“ One New Man that the world may believe, a spiritual DNA, “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me”. In verse 22 “And the glory which thou gave me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one”: and in verse 23 “I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me”.
“ONE NEW MAN”
In Ephesians 2:14, 15 and 16 says the following “For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us”; verse 15 “Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace”; and in verse 16 “And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby”: finally in verse 22 “In whom ye also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit”.
“SHALOM”
Psalm 122:6 says “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee”. That’s it, pray for the peace of Jerusalem and you shall prosper, as we have mentioned all through this article that the peace of Jerusalem especially in these uncertain times is paramount. You as a Christian may say well what has Jerusalem got to do with me, I’m not Jewish, I am a new Christian or I have been a Christian believer for some time and I am part of the body of Christ in a Christian Church, I’m Baptist or I’m Pentecostal.
The Christian world has been indoctrinated with Replacement theology, doctrines of men and again Hellenistic philosophy. It is no wonder why we have so many denominations in the Christian World all advocating they have all the truth, be it speaking in tongues, the gift of prophecy whatever else that is floating about all proclaiming some kind of revival and reformation message. Let me tell you now brethren there is only one truth for this time and that is Christ the repairer of the breach bringing Jew and Gentile together prior to his Second Coming.
If you go to the book of Ezekiel chapter 47:9 it talks about a double river, I first heard this on Sid Roth’s its supernatural, “And it shall come to pass, that everything that lives, which moved, whither so ever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and everything shall live whither the river comes”.
Okay let me explain here, this is the Great River of Ezekiel 47, this is the healing river, it starts out as a trickle and then it gets knee deep and then finally immersion. This is the double river whereby Jew and Gentile come together as one in Jesus and are healed in the process. In Romans 11:15 it is talking about a greater miracle for if the casting away of them (the Gentile) be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
You see Paul is saying that by the gathering in or the grafting in of the Gentile is bringing about Life brethren, from the Dead. What a contrast from rejection, such emancipation from the slavery of the world, a new found freedom in Jesus. Amos chapter 9 talks of great things, prophecies to be fulfilled such great revival, the tabernacle of David restored. This is great brethren, most agree that life is hard, life can be difficult, and we are swayed in one direction only to be pulled into another direction.
Life throws us a curve ball and as we catch it in the pitchers MIT we become vulnerable and we think we have it all under control, but really let’s face it, we need to come to Christ for help and not try and contemplate how we are going to deal with it in our finite imagination, but ask and pray on the Lord to reveal his infinite solutions to our problem.
NOT UNTIL THEY SAY “BARUCH ATAH ADONAI”
Matt 23:39 – “For I say unto you, ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord”. Finally brethren in wrapping up this article Zechariah 8:23 tells us “Thus said the LORD of hosts; in those days [it shall come to pass], that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, we will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.”
Brethren I would just like to say at this point meditate on God’s Holy Word, you have been exposed too much truth here today, and I ask that you pray about it ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth. God will kindle the murmurs in your heart I believe he will touch you and confirm his Covenant with you and reveal to you the truth of Jew and Gentile coming together as One New Man. I hope this article was thought provoking and may God bless you and keep you amen.
