Israel Weeps For Tammuz
2002-04-01
As this world races blindly toward a violent collision with the Lord
Jesus Christ, everyone´s attention is centering on Israel and
Jerusalem, as predicted in the Old Testament. The intense hatred and
carnage that is exploding there is forcing all the nations to demand
solutions to the Arab-Israel conflict. Many students of Israel´s
prophets understand that a false Messiah is coming to Jerusalem to
bring peace to the Holy Land. But, does he have to be Jewish, as many
teach?
Today, as I was driving down the highway, thinking about this article
and the hatred and violence in Israel, I said to the Lord, "It hurts
deep in my heart to see the death and destruction." I started to weep
as I realized how much God loves all people and the enormous price he
paid to give us the only way of escape from the eternal horror of Hell,
and to free us from the pride, hatred and lusts that send us there.
What is shocking is how many people, after hearing this truth, still
refuse to repent and will follow the false Messiah when he arrives.
Never forget that the bloody cross of Jesus Christ truly reveals the
nature of God and the nature of man......it shows us that God loves all
men, and all unregenerate men hate God. All of us nailed him to that
cross, for there is none righteous, no not one, said the apostle Paul.
The day we confess that truth and receive Jesus as the risen Lord, is
when we become the righteousness of God.
Over 2500 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel was shown by his God the
abominations and sins that brought God´s wrath and judgment to Israel
in Ezekiel´s day......"Then he brought me to the door of the gate of
the Lord´s house, which was toward the north; and, behold there sat
women weeping for Tammuz." Ezekiel 8:14. Tammuz was the ancient pagan
Savior of the old world after the flood of Noah´s day. God had
forbidden Israel to mix these pagan gentile doctrines and religious
customs with his commandments. Israel refused.
The Old Testament reference to Tammuz, with the people of Israel
worshipping him, will be relived and repeated in the last days, which
will again bring down the wrath of God. You see, Satan was polluting
the true identity and mission of the Messiah in Ezekiel´s day, and he
continues his deceptive plot today. When Satan´s final Messiah makes
his debut, by settling the Arab-Israel conflict, prophesied in Daniel
9:27 and Revelation 6:2, the whole Earth will erupt in celebration.
However, the final battle for the hearts of the Jewish people will
begin. False prophets in Israel and some in the Great Harlot of
Christendom, will begin suggesting the American President, who has
secured peace and the hope for prosperity to the Holy Land and the
world, may be the Messiah. This lie will spread and many in Israel will
become believers.
How can this happen? One reason of many, is that Satan knows that
everyone, Jew and Gentile, is born.....a lover of money and prosperity.
His Messiah will satisfy all the covetous, idolatrous desires for
wealth in the hearts of men with the promise of political freedom.
Remember, Jesus said that man cannot serve two masters, God and money.
He will love the one and hate the other. And no man is born into this
world loving the true God of Israel and his son, Jesus Christ. We are
born with a sin nature that proudly loves self, money and the pleasures
of this world system, and we will go to war and kill to keep these
things, even rebel against British kings whose government and tax
policies we oppose. We are born the children of wrath, Ephesians 2:3.
This is why Jesus said that we must be born again to see and understand
the coming Kingdom of God. Until that happens we are hopelessly bound
to follow the carnal desires of our old sinful natures, and could care
less if Jesus is alive and coming again.
Israel has fallen into the seductive lure of America´s political
system, which promises, "the pursuit of happiness." And like America,
Israel doesn´t understand this to mean the happiness and joy that
comes from knowing that Jesus has written your name in Heaven by his
shed blood. It is a carnal happiness that temporarily comes with the
possession of money and things.
Christendom has been soaked and saturated with the perverted
psychology, patriot, and prosperity gospel for some time now. Sadly,
most of them would not recognize a covetous thought if it hit them in
the head. Their conscience has been seared by believing in lies for a
long time and not walking in the Holy Spirit. They see truth as a lie
and a lie as the truth. It is a horrible and confusing position to be
in. We have all been there at one time or another. However, there is
hope for those who are bound by these lies, for Jesus has not stopped
loving people. As I wrote in my last article, I shamefully admit that I
had become lukewarm and left my first love for Jesus. I now have
nothing but love and compassion for my brothers who are grieving the
Holy Spirit as I did. Perhaps others have never truly been born again
and just need to stop pretending and give their lives to the Lord.
As the world is being mesmerized by the last American President and the
Pope of Rome, who has helped him secure peace for Jerusalem, Israel´s
true prophets will begin exposing the great lie and plan of Satan. The
plotting Russian and Arab leaders will take peace from the Earth by
invading a sleepy seduced Israel and then.....the President will suffer
a mortal head wound, Revelation 13:3-4. This apparent assassination by
his enemies will bring greater horror and terror to a world now at war
again. Many in Israel will "weep for Tammuz" in their rebuilt temple,
just as they did in Ezekiel´s day.
We must understand that Satan has planned this assassination to bring
about his ultimate masterpiece of deception......his Messiah will rise
from the dead. He will proclaim that he indeed is the world´s Messiah
and God. At some point close to the assassination the true God of
Israel will supernaturally, with fire from Heaven, destroy the
Russian-Arab armies that have overwhelmed Israel. For if God did not
intervene and stop the war, all of mankind would perish in a nuclear
inferno, Matthew 24:22. This risen Messiah and the false prophet from
Rome will no doubt take credit for the supernatural destruction of the
Russian-Arab armies. The delirious deceived masses will cry out, "who
is able to make war with this man....he is risen....he has saved us
again.....this must be the Kingdom of God."
This renewed excitement and happiness will be replaced by fear and
sorrow when the nations begin suffering the last 1260 days of God´s
wrath and judgment. The two prophets of Israel and 144,000 Jewish men
will immediately expose this damnable charade, and declare to all the
nations that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Messiah and will return to
destroy Satan´s counterfeit. Multitudes of Jews and Gentiles will
begin to awaken and seek the forgiveness of the God of Israel and his
son, Jesus Christ. Remember, the day of the Lord will come as a thief
in the night. If you have read this and have not been born again and
made Jesus the Lord of your life, today is the day of your salvation.
