From Eliyahu

Hello friends,

He is risen!I'm all about the resurrection of Messiah. Unfortunately, not everybody is. That lesson was driven home to me by a shocking experience I had years ago, early in my ministry. Let me tell you about it.

At that time I was active in helping people break free from cultic groups. As you can imagine, that required a lot of research into the history of various religious movements, so during that time I learned a lot about the development of various strains of Christianity, and other movements as well. This work also brought me into contact with believers of every stripe. One believer I met back then was a young man who was into the teachings of George Fox, the founder of the group that came to be called the Quakers, back in the 1600s. Now this man I met was not a cult victim. He was simply a real believer on a quest to know the truth, which is why contact with him made me curious to find out more about the history of George Fox for myself. Here, in a nut shell, is what I found out:

During the 1600s many dissenting Christian groups emerged in England. On reading the Scriptures, young George Fox, like many others, was dissatisfied with the teachings of the Church of England. He had a revelation that "there is one, even, Christ Jesus, who can speak to thy condition." Believing in the resurrection, he realized it was possible to have a direct relationship with the living Christ without the aid of an ordained clergy, or anybody else. With this relationship at the core he travelled around England, the Netherlands, and Barbados preaching and teaching, converting many to his "radical" faith. In 1650, Fox was brought before magistrates on a charge of religious blasphemy. According to George Fox's autobiography, one of these magistrates "was the first that called us Quakers, because I bade them tremble at the word of the Lord". After that, the term stuck as the identifier of the group. Quakerism grew, with up to 60,000 members in England and Wales by 1680. Not surprisingly, the prevailing Protestantism viewed the Quakers as a blasphemous challenge to social and political order, leading to official persecution in England. Even in America Quakers were considered heretics. They were imprisoned and banished by the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Their books were burned, and property was confiscated. They were imprisoned and deported - all because they practiced a living relationship with a risen Christ, according to the best understanding they had attained at the time.

Shortly after learning all of this, I was invited to an annual convention of Quakers. I accepted the invitation, because I wanted to meet the people who descended from such a firebrand of faith as George Fox. Now, here is where the shock came in.

It was a long time ago, so my memory is not precise, but it went about like this: Shortly after walking through the door, I got engaged in a light conversation with a man, whom I had just met. He cited some problems in His life. I attempted to cheer him up by reminding him of the Resurrection of Messiah. He responded by telling me he wasn't sure he believed in the Resurrection, and anyway, the Resurrection is irrelevant!

That's what he said; "the Resurrection is irrelevant." I was so shocked you could have knocked me over with a feather! Of course, I responded by informing the gentleman that the Resurrection is the most relevant event that ever happened! Then I explained why.

Resurrection life!My shock was not so much because of his ignorant statement, as much as my assumption of who said it. I had made the mistake of thinking what the Quakers were in their early days is what they are now. Nothing could be further from the truth. At that meeting I found that the Quakers today are a religious free-for-all, including even atheists. They have wandered far from the early teachings around which they were formed. Like many groups through history, they began with what seems to have been a real touch from the risen Lord, but eventually they lost the spark that had given them life. Its sad, but this story has been repeated countless times until now.

This history is, in fact, proof of the Risen Lord. Despite the long and dreary history of dead religion that is the history of Christendom, dissenting believers and groups of believers have always arisen in every generation, like the "moles" in a whack-a-mole game. It seems that hasatan manages eventually to whack down each person or group that springs up in the world with new resurrection life. Yet, as fast as he has done so, the living Messiah has raised up others to show the way to the narrow door. Even in this modern age, resurrection life enlivens every honest-hearted seeker of the Truth. In fact, that is why you are reading this right now.     

Yes. He has risen! That fact changes EVERYTHING!

Please, join us tonight, at 8 PM CST at Tsiyon.Net for our online meeting, as we revisit the Resurrection.

Shalom,

Eliyahu ben David

The UN, Jerusalem, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi

UN against Jerusalem

At UN Center in New York, a resolution condemning Donald Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital won a 128 majority of 193 member-states at the General Assembly, with 9 votes against, 25 abstentions and 21 absentees on Thursday, Dec. 21. This was a less than satisfactory outcome for the Palestinians, who had expected their usual success in sweeping the international board. The Trump administration fought back by threatening to hit opponents in the pocket and Ambassador Nikki Haley’s powerful eloquence did the rest.

DEBKAfile’s sources noticed, however, that, although the Palestinians had defined this vote as “fateful” for Jerusalem, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas was conspicuously absent from his delegation’s corner. DEBKAfile’s sources picked him up 11,000 kilometers away at the Abu Dhabi palace of UAE Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed (MbZ). Instead of collecting international pats on the back for the majority UN vote, he had been forced to endure a dressing-down from one of the most powerful and wealthy Arab leaders, who told him in no uncertain terms: The international struggle for Jerusalem is no doubt important and the UAE will of course be behind you. But first, you must stop beating on Donald Trump’s Jerusalem policy as though it is a declaration of war. Furthermore, Sheikh bin Zayed insisted, you had better break off ties this instant with Tayyip Erdogan, the Turkish president, and distance yourselves from his anti-American abuse.

Abbas had been summoned to Riyadh the day before, where he was given an audience with King Salman. But before he was out of the palace door, Saudi Crown Prince Muhammed bin Salman gave him a bawling out which presaged the one he received in Abu Dhabi. Both Arab rulers made it abundantly clear to Mahmoud Abbas that to win their support on Jerusalem, he will have to back away fast from the front he has opened up with Erdogan against President Trump and the United States. The fate of Jerusalem was therefore determined Thursday in the Arabian Gulf region rather than New York where the UN vote was little more than a formality.

See this video! - September 23, 2017, we were told, would be the date of The Great Sign of Revelation 12. Dire end-of-the-world predictions were made. Yet, after that day of "The Great Sign" came and went, and the predictions failed to materialize, we heard little if anything explaining the failure. This was not the first time this has happened, and won't be the last. Why? Signs in the sky are foretold in Scripture for the last days. True to that prophecy, unusual heavenly signs do occur. In fact, signs in the sky often cause a clamor, with predictions of rapture and the end of the world. Yet, these signs come and go, and the predicted events fail to happen. This, of course, provides an opportunity for scoffers to gloat. Why does this keep happening? Could it be that these signs are significant, but they mean something different than YouTube preachers have guessed? There is, in fact, a unified message in these sky signs. This video, "The Heavens Speak" reveals what that message is.
