PART FOUR
A Warning to the Rebels in Israel.
This final visitation comes as a warning to all who have rejected God’s
covenant. These verses remind us that just prior to the Lord’s return
the tares will be forcibly removed from the kingdom to be burnt. These
will include seemingly good people who have sincerely involved
themselves in various movements and cults. Examples are the New Age
Movement Freemasonry and Orders like the Round Table Grouping. Great
movements like Theosophy and Spiritism, and Christian Science, have
many adherents. They have all ideas and theories which are not
Scriptural, such as Re-Incarnation, as well as the philosophies of
various eastern religions, which have now become so popular in the
West. Communists and atheists should all take heed, lest they find
themselves forced out of the kingdom. We are not told how this will be
accomplished or who the messengers or angels are, who perform this task
shortly before the Second Coming.
The Ripened Tares.
This parable is interpreted in Matthew 13:37-42, "He answered and said
unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is
the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares
are the children of the wicked [one]; The enemy that sowed them is the
devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the
angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so
shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth
his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that
offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace
of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." The world is
the Prophetic Roman World.
Revival in Britain.
The special message to Great Britain and Israel Nations living in parts
of Europe is found in Isaiah 26:20-21. This states: "Come, my people,
enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide
thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be
overpast For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the
inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall
disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain."
This visitation has been termed by some scholars "the Elijah ministry."
As these verses indicate, there will be an outpouring of the Holy
Spirit even greater than that of the Day of Pentecost, after the
resurrection, when sinners repented, the sick were healed, the dead
raised, and instant judgements reigned down on those who wilfully
disobeyed the Holy Spirit. Peter spoke of this ministry in Acts 3:19-
21, "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be
blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence
of the Lord; And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached
unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution
of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy
prophets since the world began."
This final outpouring will include both the former and latter rain.
This is in Joel 2:23 & 28-29, Joel 2:23, "Be glad then, ye children of
Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the
former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the
rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month] .. And
it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon
all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old
men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon
the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my
spirit."
The Shepherd and the Sheep.
Following the example of a good shepherd all the flock will be brought
under the rod, not only to be counted, but also to be examined to
ensure that they are not hurt in any way, and whether they need to be
healed, Ezekiel 20:35-37, "And I will bring you into the wilderness of
the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I
pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so
will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD. And I will cause you to pass
under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant." The
Good Shepherd will care for His Sheep, Isaiah 40:11 "He shall feed his
flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and
carry [them] in his bosom, [and] shall gently lead those that are with
young."The Elijah Ministry.
The words of Malachi will be fulfilled regarding this "Elijah
ministry," Malachi 4:4 "Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which
I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the statutes and
judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming
of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 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."
John the Baptist was Elijah.
The scribes and Pharisees did not recognise the Elijah role of John the
Baptist, but Jesus told his disciples that John had come in fulfilment
not of this promise, but of Isaiah 40:3 "The voice of him that crieth
in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the
desert a highway for our God." John also confirmed this in John 1:20-
23, "And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the
Christ. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I
am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. Then said they unto
him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us.
What sayest thou of thyself? He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in
the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet
Esaias."
This was also confirmed by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 11:13-14, "For all
the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will receive
[it], this is Elias, which was for to come." This is confirmed in
Matthew 17:10-13, "And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say
the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said
unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I
say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but
have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son
of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto
them of John the Baptist."
The Laws of God and the Feasts of Yahweh to be restored.
Malachi’s message is the call for restoration nationally, including the
commandments, statutes and judgements and legal requirements of Yahweh,
with the declaration concerning the need of remembering the law of
Moses. It is my view that the Pagan Gregorian Calendar will be replaced
with the Hebrew Sacred Calendar, fully updated for the 21st Century.
Remember that our Pagan Calendar replaced the Sacred Calendar. This
fulfilled Daniel 7:25 "And he shall speak [great] words against the
most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to
change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a
time and times and the dividing of time."
The Roman Catholic Church in its Missal removed the Second Commandment
which relates to idolatry, divided the tenth commandment into two to
make the number up to ten, and tampered with the fourth commandment
concerning the Sabbath by removing the Divine Name. They also replaced
Peshach with Easter, the Pagan festival of the godess Ishtar. They
introduced the Pagan Festival of 25th December, called Natalis invicti
solis, "The birth-day of the unconquered Sun renaming it Christmas to
celebrate Christ’s birth. They also introduced the Pagan Calendar in
which all the months are named after various gods, including each day
of the week. The Sacred Calendar and the Feasts of Yahweh were
abolished.
The Feasts of Yahweh and the Sacred Calendar to be restored to the
Church.
It is my personal conviction that "The Elijah Message" or "Ministry"
will restore all the festivals in the church, fulfilling Acts 3:20-
21, "And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto
you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all
things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets
since the world began." Notice that "the times of restitution of all
things" must take place before the Second Coming.
The Elijah Ministry Defined.
This message goes much further than the personal message of salvation.
It is the proclamation of the gospel of the kingdom in all its
fullness. It is intended to reach every town and city in all Israel
lands, which belong to God’s Kingdom, Matthew 10:23 "But when they
persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto
you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of
man be come." The Identity Gospel of the Kingdom which we preach is the
most hated message by Christendom at the present time. It is the only
message which will overcome the so called "generation gap." The
parallels between Israel and their posterity, the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic
and Nordic people’s of today, are striking, for like their forefathers,
the people have lapsed into a condition of great apostasy, largely
brought on by so called "Ecumenism."
True Israel in Bondage.
They are also in economic bondage to the Babylonian Monetary System.
God sent Moses to deliver his people from similar servitude. This
message would turn the hearts of the fathers (ancient Israel) to the
children (modern Israel) and the hearts of the children (modern Israel)
to their fathers (ancient Israel), as they recognise their identity.
The responsibility of the children is to keep the oath of their fathers
who swore that they would obey the requirements of the Covenant.
We are plainly shown that even in these terrible times of apostasy,
Yahweh will yet intervene to deliver Israel. He has promised that while
we still have the ordinances of the sun moon and stars with day and
night, and even the tides of the sea, His word will prevail. This is so
encouraging, to British Israelites all over the world.
The New Covenant Renewed.
This New Covenant is described in Jeremiah 31:31-37, "Behold, the days
come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that
I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to
bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake,
although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this [shall
be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those
days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and
write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my
people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every
man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me,
from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I
will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the
ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which
divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is]
his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD,
[then] the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before
me for ever. Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and
the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off
all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD."
All Israel to be Saved.
The Apostle Paul must have had in mind these verses when he wrote in
Romans 11:25-28, "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant
of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that
blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the
Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is
written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn
away ungodliness from Jacob: For this [is] my covenant unto them, when
I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, [they are]
enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, [they are]
beloved for the fathers’ sakes." How wonderful that "all Israel shall
be saved."
The New Covenant Confirmed.
This New Covenant is so important we are given a double witness of it.
This is in Hebrews 8:10-13, "For this [is] the covenant that I will
make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will
put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will
be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not
teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know
the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I
will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their
iniquities will I remember no more. In that he saith, A new [covenant],
he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is]
ready to vanish away.
Israel Loved with an Everlasting Love.
There are many references to this period when Israel will find rest and
favour with God, and Jeremiah 31:1-3 states, "At that same time, saith
the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they
shall be my people. Thus saith the Lord, The people who were left of
the sword found grace in the wilderness, even Israel, when I went to
cause him to rest. The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea,
I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore, with loving-
kindness have I drawn thee."
Israel will Again be Protected in the Wilderness.
Finally, in the New Testament there is a description of the persecuted
remnants of Israel all fleeing across Europe into the appointed place
here called the wilderness, Revelation 12:6 & 14, "And the woman
(Israel) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared by
God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and
threescore days ... And to the woman were given two wings of an eagle,
that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is
nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the
serpent."
The Lost Tribes of Israel Identified.
After the Israelites were carried away into Assyria they became lost to
the world. They lost their knowledge of their origin, their name, and
their language. After centuries of migration across Europe, the various
tribes were gathered into the British Isles, first the Celts followed
by invading Northmen, the Angles, the Saxons, the Jutes, the Danes and
finally the Normans.
Many prophetic students have wondered why Britain appears to be loosing
most of her commonwealth. Her power of ruler-ship throughout the world
has been removed. They do not understand that God is drawing his elect
race into their own appointed lands where He intends to draw them to
Himself, and break all foreign alliances such as the present European
one with the so called revived Holy Roman Empire, manifesting itself in
the European Economic Community, and European Parliament. Britain or
Ephraim must regain her National Identity. America is about to lose
hers, and must be willing to break all ties with Great Babylon which is
the United States of Europe. This evil Babylonian Pagan and Papal
System with all its monetary tries is at present aiming to utterly
destroy the American dollar, and steal from the Americans everything
they possess. They are determined to literally fleece Britain and
America.
The Bride is Prepared.
The prophet Isaiah links wilderness with the isles, Isaiah 42:10-
12, "Sing unto the LORD a new song, [and] his praise from the end of
the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the
isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities
thereof lift up [their voice], the villages [that] Kedar doth inhabit:
let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of
the mountains. Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his
praise in the islands." Once again the words of Moses will be fulfilled
in Deuteronomy 33:28-29, "Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the
fountain of Jacob [shall be] upon a land of corn and wine; also his
heavens shall drop down dew. Happy [art] thou, O Israel: who [is] like
unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who
[is] the sword of thy Excellency! and thine enemies shall be found
liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places."
The Marriage Supper.
Israel will be ready when Yahweh returns, Revelation 19:7 Let us be
glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb
is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted
that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine
linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write,
Blessed [are] they which are called unto the marriage supper of the
Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God."
