The people involved are not just at war with Israel, they are at war with God. They are called God’s enemies Do not keep silent, O God!Do not hold Your peace,And do not be still, O God!2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;And those who hate You have lifted up their head.3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.4 They have...

Jerusalem and the End Times

J

The status of Jerusalem in the last days, as stated in Zechariah Chapter 12, is said to be a burdensome stone burdening all nations. It’s going to be the source of the final conflict. 2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. 3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a...

Alternative Jewish attitudes to the Resurrection

A

This morning I was speaking about the Gospel from the resurrection from John’s point of view and one of the things we saw is that Jesus rose from the dead and that He was seen first of all by the women who were much more faithful and zealous to seek the Lord at this time in the morning. And I suggested that the men, the disciples, had actually fled, most likely to Bethany, when Jesus was...

Isaiah 50 – I have set My face like a flint

I gave My back to those who struck Me,And My cheeks to those who plucked out the beard;I did not hide My face from shame and spitting. “For the Lord God will help Me;Therefore I will not be disgraced;Therefore I have set My face like a flint,And I know that I will not be ashamed. Isaiah 50.6-7 What does Isaiah 50 tell us about the suffering of the Jewish people and...
