Kabbalist Rabbis are awakening a Messianic fever in Israel.

From the Cutting Edge Ministries website: the following is nothing much more than sheer hype with nothing at all to really substantiate the claims that are being made. However, it may be of some interest to those of us who are keeping a close watch on the end times Bible Prophecies relative to the return of the Lord back here onto the earth.

Kabbalist Rabbis are awakening a Messianic fever in Israel.

One prominent Rabbi is writing a scroll that he will present to Israel's Messiah when he arises.

Will this scroll be the prophesied Covenant which Antichrist shall sign with Israel (Daniel 9:27)?

NEWS BRIEF: "Torah Scroll Being Written to Present to Messiah Upon His Arrival", Breaking Israel News, December 15, 2015

"Now it will come about that In the last days ... the Torah will go forth from Zion And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.” (Isaiah 2:2-3)

"Rabbi Yosef Berger, one of the rabbis in charge of King David’s Tomb in Jerusalem’s Old City, has been dreaming of a project for over a year – one Torah scroll to unify all of Israel. Recent global events have forced Rabbi Berger to move ahead quickly with his dream as he wants to be able to personally present this Torah as a gift to the Messiah. Many prominent rabbis and Kabbalists have told Rabbi Berger that may be very soon indeed."

Notice that Kabbalists are convinced that the Jewish Messiah will be arising within Israel "very soon indeed"! This understanding brings us to our DVD featured above, "Secret Societies Killed Jesus Christ". We prove that the Pharisees and Sadducees who conspired to murder Jesus on the Roman Cross were secret worshippers of Lucifer in an oral secret society, which became known as Kabbalist in approximately 1,100 AD.

We also prove that these Kabbalist Jewish leaders knew Jesus was the prophesied Messiah, but since He was the meek and mild "Suffering Servant", the Pharisees and Sadducees decided to murder Him so they could produce their own Messiah, the "Ruling King" Messiah who would rule from Jerusalem with a "rod of iron" forever.

This fervent plan to produce a Ruler Messiah has taken Kabbalist leaders 2,000 years, but today, they believe their bold plan is almost ready to produce this conquering King on the world scene.

Therefore, Rabbi Yosef Berger plans to create a Torah scroll to present this coming Kabbalist King as a means by which he can "unify all of Israel"!

I wonder if this scroll will also contain the prophetic "Covenant" with Israel foretold in Daniel 9:27. When the Kabbalist Messiah signs this Covenant, the seven year Tribulation Period will officially begin!

"And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week..." (Daniel 9:27a)

How soon will this Kabbalist King arise, in the estimation of these Kabbalist leaders?

"According to Rabbi Berger, Rabbi Abuhatzeira added that the combined numerologies of the phrases 'This year we will merit seeing him' ... and 'The arrival of the Messiah' ... , add up to 5776, the current year according to the Jewish calendar."

These priests plan to hold a parade to commemorate the completion of this special Torah scroll.

"When the Torah is completed, Rabbi Berger plans on having a parade through Jerusalem to dedicate it. The parade will go through every corner of the city in order to include as many people as possible and will finish at the Tomb of King David, where the Torah scroll will be kept."

This planned parade sounds suspiciously like the procession which modern Kabbalist leaders have planned for their "New David" Messiah as he appears on the world scene.

"... it may be possible for the New David to ride into Jerusalem in all his resplendent majesty ... The processional route will, of course, lie directly across the Kidron ravine, as close as possible to the Temple Mount ... he must be duly enthroned and anointed with oil (in token of Psalm 45:6-7) amid the rubble of the dome of the Rock..."[The Armageddon Script, p. 233-35; Emphasis added]

Notice that the Dome of the Rock is planned to be destroyed by the coming Kabbalist Messiah!

While we know that Antichrist's "timing is of the Lord", we also know that God allows the demonic realm limited foreknowledge so they can bring the kings of the earth into fulfillment of God's prophecies. The Albert Pike demonic vision of three world wars designed to produce Antichrist is proof positive of this fact 

Therefore, it is very likely that the demonic host is preparing the human Kabbalist leaders in Israel for the imminent arrival of Antichrist.

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.

Did Jesus have brothers and sisters?

QUESTION: Did Jesus have brothers and sisters? If he did, how many of each were there?

ANSWER: We can begin to find our answer about whether Jesus had literal brothers and sisters by reading a small piece of Matthew 12. It states that while Christ was speaking to crowd the following happened.

"Behold, His (Jesus') mother and His brothers (not sisters mentioned here however) were standing outside, seeking to speak with Him." (Matthew 12:46)

First, to help answer this question about Jesus' family, we need to understand whom James the Less was and his relationship to Christ. This leads to another question - Is Mary's sister the mother of James the Less or is Mary herself the mother of James the Less? The answers will help us to conclude whether Mary and Joseph had other children (boys and girls) other than Christ. The 25th verse of John chapter 19 is the verse we need to analyze. When we understand who is actually James the Less' mother then the verses referring to Jesus' family as containing brothers Simon, James, Joses and Judas, along with (likely) two sisters will become clear.

It is unclear from Scripture whether the man whose name is Clopas or Cleophas and Alphaeus is the same man or not. James the Less had a father called Alphaeus. When translators translate common names they sometimes do not get the spelling right, which could be the case here. The letters "phas" that end the word Cleophas could be the same as the "phaeus" part of the name Alphaeus. Both endings sound phonetically like each other. 

If Alphaeus were the brother of Mary and the son of Heli with the second Mary as his wife who produced James, Joses, Judas, and Simon, then these would be cousins of Jesus. The word brethren would then identify them as close relatives.

Matthew or Levi was also the son of Alphaeus according to Mark 2:14. Was he part of the family of Jesus too? On the other hand, does this sentence mean something entirely different when rendered without the insertions by the translators? It would read "And as he passed by he saw Levi of Alphaeus . . ."

In the other passages that mention the word Alphaeus (Matthew 10:3, Mark 3:18, Luke 6:16, Acts 1:13) it is in relationship to James, and should be rendered "James of Alphaeus" because the words "son of" is in italics (or in brackets) which means they were added by the translators and are not a part of the original text. 

If, on the other hand, these four men were actually offspring of Mary and her husband Joseph as other passages seem to indicate then yes, Jesus had brothers and a sister or two. Matthew 13:55 seems to indicate a need to identify who our Savior is. It would not seem very logical for someone to question the identity of cousins to substantiate someone's identification. When the Lord bestowed upon John the responsibility of caring for his mother, could he have been his cousin too? If so, they were a very closely associated family (see John 19:26).

Matthew 12:46, Mark 3:31 and Luke 8:19 all suggest that Mary and Jesus' other physical family members were all outside waiting to talk to him. If the word for brothers or brethren meant his whole kindred or his fellow citizen, it would have to include the ones who were appealing to him at the door and the ones who were in the crowd. If the word brother meant just the sons of his aunt Mary the wife of Cleophas / Clopas / Alphaeus then why not his mother at the door and why would the door man think that he should want to stop what he was doing to speak to them. The person at the door was indeed his own mother because that would be the only person who would be important enough for any man to stop an important lecture to speak with her. Aunts and cousins could wait until he was finished with whatever he was doing, but only a mother would be bringing some kind of news he needed to know urgently. 

Once James the Less is identified and who his parents were, we will find that the Bible aligns him with Simon, Joses, Jude (Judas) and at least a sister named Salome. Sister Salome is identified in Mark 15:40 and 16:1 as the child of one of the Mary's who came to see Jesus crucified as well as visit his tomb. She and brother Joses were together with one of the Mary's at the cross.

If Salome and James were with their mother, and their mother Mary was in fact Mary the aunt of Jesus, they could technically be his brothers and sisters.

"Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. " (John 19:25, see also Matthew 27:55 - 56)

The only scripture verse which includes all three people named Mary into one is John 19:25, which indicates that Jesus' mother had a sister-in-law or sisters, one of whom is named Mary whose husband was Cleophas (Clopas). The Bible does not state, however, that she was James the Less' mother.
So then we come to a passage in Acts 1:14 which says the following. 

"These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers." (Acts 1:14, NKJV)

Why would Mary be here with the rest of the church if she had not been the same one who cared for the body and watched from afar? Her other two sons Jude and James were also disciples of the first apostolic church and wrote epistles to the brethren that are in the canonized Scripture. In Matthew 12:46-50 Jesus is contrasting his physical family who people knew versus those he considered to be his SPIRITUAL family members - those who had been called out of this world by his heavenly Father. 

Nowhere does it say that Mary and the men called Simon, James, Judas, and Joses cannot be the mother and brothers of Jesus. In fact, one other scripture lists ALL the physical family members by name and lets us know that He had a sister or two. During his ministry, Christ and the disciples travelled from Capernaum to Nazareth (where he grew up and lived until the age of thirty). When the Sabbath day came, he taught in the local synagogue. Those who heard his preaching KNEW his earthly family and some no doubt actually saw him grow up from a boy to a man! Their responses to his words are both revealing and a bit sad (Mark 6:1 - 3, see also Matthew 13:54 - 57).

Those in Nazareth did not accept Christ's words strictly in the light of scripture. Instead, they reasoned that somebody they lived near and whose family they knew quite well COULD NOT possibly be special or closer to God than they were! They rejected his message because they FIRST found reasons to reject HIM! Though a sad testament to human nature, these verses do show that the MANY locals who heard our Savior teach in Nazareth were quite knowledgeable about the composition of his earthly family. 

In conclusion, Jesus DID have brothers and sisters --- in fact, several of them! Including him, Mary gave birth to FIVE boys and at least TWO girls, for a family of SEVEN children!

Pope Francis: 'Christians and Muslims Are Brothers and Sisters' Hardly!!!

Pope Francise

(NEWSMAX)—Pope Francis said on Monday that Christians and Muslims were "brothers", urging them to reject hatred and violence while visiting a mosque in the Central African Republic's capital which has been ravaged by sectarian conflict.

On the last leg of a three-nation tour of Africa, the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics visited a flashpoint Muslim neighborhood in Bangui on what was the most dangerous part of his 24-hour visit.

Thousands of people gathered at the roadside, cheering as his popemobile drove down the red dirt roads. As his vehicle passed, many waving Vatican flags and dressed in long traditional robes, ran down the road after it, an AFP correspondent said.

"Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters," he said after meeting Muslim leaders at the Koudoukou mosque in the PK5 district, the last Muslim enclave in Bangui where tensions remain high after months of violence.

"Together, we must say no to hatred, to revenge and to violence, particularly that violence which is perpetrated in the name of a religion or of God himself," he said....

His message—and the fact that he actually visited the country despite significant security concerns—struck a chord with locals and drew pledges of peace and forgiveness.

"We should eat together, we should live together with Muslims," said Clarisse Mbai, a mother who lost all her possessions in inter-religious violence.

"They looted everything, they burnt my house and I have nothing but I am ready to forget," she said.

Nicole Ouabangue, whose husband was hacked to death with an axe, said she had heard many speeches before but the pope's words were "different".

"Pope Francis has more influence. If there is anybody who can resolve our problems on Earth, it is him," she said....
