Jewish writers have a natural half sightedness from God because of the past and current iniquities of the nation of Israel - WITH THE JEWS YOU LOSE.

I have noted the attached article on one of the more prominent, well-known, end time's blogspots. After having noted the contents of the article, I decided to make a few comments to the blog owner relative to the assumptions the Jewish writer of the article was making. In fact, there were two comments that I had made there and much to my amazement, both of them were published? That reality in itself is something is quite out of the norm for the owner of this blog. If he does not agree with the comments or replies his readers make, he will simply not publish them at all. He then went on to post his own reply. Since then I have responded with a further reply. For the reasons mentioned above, even though my response has been published in his comments section I would not expect my reply to ever be published? As that is the case, I have therefore decided to reproduce the first two comments that I had made comparative to the attached article, his reply and the comeback that I had made to his reply. There will be no names mentioned and therefore no shame. Accordingly, I will disguise the names of those concerned. What I am not on about here is attempting to bring the ministries of others down to the ground; there are plenty of others who will do just that. All that I am attempting to do here is to clarify a point relative to the ability of Jewish writers to interpret the end times Bible prophecies. Jewish writers will always interpret prophecy from the perspective of being Jewish and from the point of view of favouring the nation of Israel, perhaps unnecessarily most of the time.

 

WHEN IT COMES TO THE BIBLE PROPHECIES, WITH THE JEWS YOU LOSE, JUST AS YOU WILL EVERY TIME.

IRAQ REBUILDING ITS MILITARY AND ECONOMY, EVEN AS THEY REBUILD BABYLON
Prophetic significance?
Joel C. Rberg(Washington, D.C., April 13, 2012) --

Bible prophecy indicates that in the End Times, the nation we know today as the Republic of Iraq -- known variously in Scripture as Babel, Bablyon, Babylonia, Mesopotamia and Shinar -- will emerge as the global centre of wealth, power and terrible evil. Eventually Iraq will pose a direct and existential threat to the State of Israel, particularly during the Tribulation. Since the fall of Saddam Hussein and his regime in 2003, Iraq has not been a regional threat, much less a danger to Israel. Some have assumed, therefore, that Iraq would no longer play a major role in Middle Eastern or global affairs in the future.

But such a conclusion would be a mistake. As I wrote about in my first non-fiction book, Epicenter, those who read, understand and believe Bible prophecy have been watching for Iraq to:

1) begin rebuilding its offensive military capability;

2) begin rebuilding its economy;

3) continue rebuilding the ancient city of Babylon into a major center of commerce and tourism.

Interestingly, all three developments are currently underway.

A few details (much more on the blog):

* The Iraqis are buying 140 state-of-the-art American M1A1 combat tanks.

* The Iraqis are buying 36 advanced American F-16 fighter jets.

* In 2010, the Iraqis embarked on a $13 billion weapons spending spree.

* Iraq's GDP is set to grow by more than 10% for the next few years.

* Iraq's Planning Ministry says Iraq's economy will grow by upwards of 47% by 2017 when the oil starts flowing fast and furious.

* In 2011, ExxonMobil -- the world's largest oil company -- signed a major deal to help develop the oil industry in Iraq's northern region of Kurdistan.

* The U.S. government is helping finance the rebuilding of the city of Babylon

WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST; John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical and thoroughly evil.
