From Eliyahu

Consider this:

We have all been through a lot in the last twelve months or so, because of the rapid and unique changes in the world, with one shock after another. Covid has negatively effected the entire world, wiping out businesses and jobs, leaving many struggling to pay the rent, and many homeless and hungry. What's worse is that some have lost their lives, and many more are left to mourn those losses. Couple all that with isolating behaviors like wearing masks and social distancing and you have a scenario that has taken a big toll on relationships and even mental health. Both the domestic politics and the geo-political landscape have also been in upheaval, with social and political unrest at an all time high. Many are suffering from high anxiety, not knowing exactly what is going to happen as a result of all this madness.

The collective result of this complex scenario is a global snapping of the masses into a strange altered state of consciousness that feels surreal, like some sort of simulation game - like a computer game in which each person is a character moving through some sort of alien environment, where the rules keep changing and where anything can happen at any moment - yet, everyone pretends that everything is "normal." That's just 2020. 2021 looks to be even more bizarre, with whiplash changes sure to unfold on a daily basis. Bible prophecy and actual current events indicate the global turmoil is driven by the push toward a global government and technocratic universal social order which insists that all must conform.

The destructive altered state of consciousness that has been induced on the masses has been created on purpose, to undermine any meaningful united resistance to the global takeover. What we are seeing is nothing less than the step-by-step imposition of a global mind-control cult of deception, controlling all the levers of power and influence in the world. Revelation 13 tells us where that push is taking the world. The globalist plan will succeed in taking over the world, because "the Scripture can’t be broken." (John 10:35)

Having outlined the true situation, I'm not saying we are hopeless. Far from it! If our hearts and minds are set upon the bedrock of truth that is Yeshua Messiah we can and will overcome! Realize that He paid close attention to Bible prophecy, and recognized its fulfillment in and around Him. He also told us to do the same. We have and are doing just that! We know that the only alternative to the devil's rising globalist domain is the remnant nation of renewed Israel. In the midst of the growing darkness the light must get brighter than ever. Messiah left that work to us, you and me, every aware believer, to build up renewed Israel in the world, as a functioning expression of the Kingdom of Messiah into which the righteous can run. Rather than being neutralized by the mind-numbing deception now being perpetrated upon the world, we must be energized by it, seeing the urgency of fulfilling our mission - calling the righteous into Yah's nation!

Facing the realities of this strange world we find ourselves living in, we may wonder, how are we to shine forth the light of Messiah in a topsy-turvy world like this?

Actually, when it comes to the work of Messiah in the Earth, every age has it's own unique problems. Consider, for example the 1st century world into which Yeshua was born, lived, ministered, died, was raised, and returned to His Father in heaven. Those who walked with Him and knew Him had seen this remarkable story actually lived out before their eyes. They had personally been changed just by walking with Him, and they had seen His salvation first hand. Having been eye-witnesses of His salvation, they knew it was the only real truth in the world, and they were determined to be His witnesses in the world. It was their mission to spread the good news about Messiah! That 1st century world was no pick-nick to deal with. Yet, the Book of Acts assures us, they were overcomers, and they did overcome!

Much like globalism now, at that time Rome provided the backdrop for that entire first century world. Rome was, in fact, a globalist empire. Romans believed they were doing a service to the world by constantly conquering "barbarians" (non-Romans) and civilizing them, under the thumb of Rome, of course. Eventually, when Rome would rule the whole world everyone on earth would be better off as part of the global Roman society - or so the Roman imperialists thought. Freedom, as envisioned in Scripture, was not a Roman value. Do or die was more along the lines of the Roman mindset. However, as dangerous as Rome could be and often was, it also had its benefits. During the expansion of Messiah's Kingdom, Rome provided a sort of peace and stability that could aid the believers in the job of expanding the Kingdom of Messiah in the world. One source says this:

The Pax Romana (Roman Peace) was a period of relative peace and stability across the Roman Empire which lasted for over 200 years, beginning with the reign of Augustus (27 BCE - 14 CE). The aim of Augustus and his successors was to guarantee law, order, and security within the empire, even if this meant separating it from the rest of the world and defending, or even expanding, its borders through military intervention and conquest. Throughout the existence of both the Roman Republic and Empire, the borders of Rome continually expanded. https://www.ancient[dot]eu/Pax_Romana/

Roman peace within the Empire, as well as Roman civilization, roads, transportation, and general law and order were instrumental in the ability of Paul and Barnabas, and other missionaries like them, to expand the reach of the Kingdom to Jews and Gentiles alike. Then as now, religious and cultural differences with the population could be an issue, but as we find in the first missionary tour that we are currently considering in Acts, the Holy Spirit qualified those courageous brethren, as they encountered radical differences and odd behaviors among the people. As we consider how Paul and Barnabas faced the challenge of constantly forging on into new places where they didn't know what to expect, we can be comforted and encouraged in seeing how faithful our Father really is, guiding and protecting His own. This gives us confidence to press on in the faith ourselves, to accomplish our mission! As we put Him first in our lives, He leads us and guides us through every situation, and we are truly blessed, even as we face the challenges of a strange and sometimes hostile world.  

The Book of Acts gives us a real life pattern of how to overcome! As we consider Acts 13:45-14:28 tonight, we will discover details that you may have missed before - details that effect our lives today, and could save our lives tomorrow. Please join me tonight at tsiyon.net, at 8 pm cst, for our live meeting. I promise you, this look at Acts could not be more timely!

Blessings and good health to you!

PS - Christian scholars are making a startling discovery, and are talking about it among themselves. That discovery is this: The New Covenant in Scripture is made with Israel, not with the Christian Church. In fact, no covenant with the Christian Church can be found anywhere in Scripture! The implications of this discovery are monumental, suggesting fundamental errors in the foundation of Christian theology from the 2nd century forward, right down to our day!
