WILL MAN BECOME GOD?

Given the nearly 4,000 year history of the sons of Jacob, this will be only the briefest overview.  Designed to provide some background regarding the present situation in West Asia.

After entering a marriage covenant with Christ at Sinai Heb 1:2, Heb 1:8-10, Heb 11:23-26 and 1 Cor 10:1-4.  The people through unbelief, did not enter the land Heb 3:19, even so the fearful and unbelieving shall not enter the kingdom of God Rev 21:8.  Those who are too afraid to work out their own salvation in fear and trembling Ph'p 2:12 and therefore rely upon others to do their work, their thinking, for them, burying their talent, will not be in the kingdom Mat 25:24-28.  One should not let fear keep them from learning or growing, rather one should be VERY afraid to trust any man with their eternal salvation.

Now when the people did enter the land, God made it very clear that their possession of the land was totally conditional upon their obedience to Him Deu 28:64.  Over hundreds of years the people rebelled against their God, they stoned His prophets and rejected His warnings.  Over and over He warned them until finally about 718 BC He allowed the Assyrian armies to conquer Israel.  After capturing Samaria they began to deport Israel over a period of years.  Now, when the prophets warned of the coming disaster some few fled south to Judea.  Others fled to Judea as the Assyrians approached,  but the vast majority were removed from off the land by Assyria.  Eventually Assyria was also driven from their land and Israel traveled with them, migrating to Europe, some continuing on to North America.  While those few who had fled to Judah began to assimilate into Judah.  Even so, some new testament writers refer to some persons as being from other tribes besides Judah.

Meanwhile Judah wavered between obedience and rebellion for nearly one hundred and fifty years before they were removed from the land by Babylon.  Taken to Babylon, a very few began to repent and eventually were allowed to return to the land by God.  The vast majority remained in Babylon, where, heavily influenced by Babylonian tradition the Talmud was written.  To these people the Talmud took on an importance that surpassed the writings of Moses.  The Talmud became the core of their belief system, a blend of the Babylonian mysteries and traditions regarding Moses.  In much the same way that the Catholic Church became a blending of some biblical teachings with the traditions of the European nations.  

Those repentant Jews, called Mosaic Pharisees became the society to which Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ) came.  This religious group was wiped out in the ensuing rebellion against Rome Dan 9:26.  Leaving the followers of the Talmud, called Hellenic Pharisees, as the surviving religion of the Jewish people.  The religion of the modern Rabbins is NOT the religion that God gave to Moses, it IS a blending of the writings of Moses with the religion of Babylon and the reasonings and traditions of men.  The Mosaic Pharisees sat in Moses Seat as administrators of the Mosaic Covenant until that covenant ended with the death of the husband!  The modern Rabbins do NOT and have NEVER sat in Moses Seat. Rather they administer nothing more than another branch of the Babylonian Mysteries!

In this latter day the Jewish people claim that all Palestine is theirs because God gave this land to them. In fact, the land belongs to GOD, not any one nation.  God gave the land to both Israel and Judah provided that they obeyed HIM.  They did not obey Him in the past and were removed from the land.  Today, even a blind man in the state of Israel knows that they do not obey God any more.  They do not keep His commandments.  GOD IS CONSISTENT.  HE WILL REMOVE THEM AGAIN, UNLESS THEY QUICKLY REPENT.  When they are removed; it will not be because God is no longer able to protect them from a hateful satan.  It will be because God is fighting against them over their sinful rebellious behaviour.  When Judah goes down, Israel shall fall with them Hos 5:5.  The Judeo-Israeli people are not a righteous people being persecuted, they are a wicked rebellious people being corrected!  The key to the security problems of the Jewish State and the United States and their allies is not more war,  it is REPENTANCE.

This history is continued in our Ezek 4 article.
