The Lord's Theme For The Year

The Lord has crowned the year (2011) with His goodness and caused us to walk in His paths that drips with His fatness (Psalm 65:11)

Signs of the End Times

While the outward signs in the natural are pointing us to tough times ahead, those of us who read the Bible would, by now, be able to associate these events to the Earth coming to a climax and setting itself up to the Return of our Lord Jesus Christ. In the spiritual, events are also taking place that are now pointing very clearly to the fact that what had been recorded for us in the Bible are not fairy tales as some would believe but realities and important history.

Mankind, in his finite mind, had tried to rationalize away the events recorded in the Bible as the imagination of some crazy Jewish followers of Christ who, being disillusioned with the loss of their leader (Christ Jesus), conjured up stories about His death and resurrection.

And with the latest discoveries, boy, are they so very mistaken. The physical evidences are now coming into play and all indications are that what had been written are not fiction but realities. So far the three items that mankind had disputed the most about have now been discovered and placed on record.
1. Noah's Ark was indeed discovered on the high mountain range of Ararat in eastern Turkey
2. Mount Sinai is now clearly in Saudi Arabia and not in the Sinai Peninsula as what had been shown on topographical maps we now possess. The Arabic name for Mount Sinai is actually Jabal Al'Lutz and the top of the entire mountain is charred and this is consistent with the records in the Book of Exodus where Moses recorded for us that God descended on the mountain to commune with the 70 leaders and with Moses alone.
3. The Ark of the Covenant below the Skull Hill in Jerusalem.

And so you are now presented with the evidences and as a member of the jury, you have to weigh the facts and make a decision to believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One from God) and Savior or you choose not to believe. It is your call. However, whatever your decision, that will not change the facts as they stand that He IS the Lord and Savior of the entire Earth.

Our Blood Tells A Story!

Ever wondered what the writer of the Letter to the Hebrews meant in Hebrews 12:24, "to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel."?

Indeed, scientists have found that a person's identity is captured in his blood and through DNA testing, even the dead blood can tell a story of the deceased. Forensic scientists are using this discovery to solve mysteries surrounding unsolved crimes, etc. This same method was used recently (by that I mean about 15 years ago) in Israel to test samples of the dried blood found on the cracks of the large box containing the Ark of the Covenant beneath the place called Skull Hill as well as within the cracks on the ceiling from below the large depression in the ground above.

All human blood carries in it 47 chromosomes - 23 from the mother and 23 from the father and another either X or Y chromosome to determine the sex of the person. So when the test results came in from the Israeli laboratory, many eyebrows were raised. All the blood samples showed only 24 chromosomes; 23 from the mother and the Y chromosome for the male specie. The 23 chromosomes from the father are missing thus signifying that what the Bible said about a male child being borne out of a virgin birth is true! And one more important discovery - the scientists declared that the Blood is still alive!

One would have thought that the blood stream would have clotted long ago to become a cake of blood but not this sample. They said that they could still see the life in the Blood under the microscope. Imagine the reaction of these Israeli scientists who performed the test? - yes, I believe they are now in the family of Messianic Believers, gloriously saved! Hallelujah.

The Discovery of the Ark of the Covenant

Ever wondered why the three items that were talked so much about in the Old Testament could not be found until recently? The three items I am referring to are the following: -
1. Noah's Ark
2. The exact site of Mount Sinai
3. The Ark of the Covenant
Well, recently there were a flurry of surprising discoveries and interestingly enough, the discoveries were found in that chronological order as well - Noah's Ark was unearthed in the late 70's, correct spot of Mount Sinai in early 80's and now the Ark of the Covenant was uncovered in the late 80's.

I watched the complete series of 27 videos (they had to break up the original video into 27 smaller portions in order to be able to fit them into YouTube) yesterday and I am encouraged. Here is the URL, and again I apologize for not being able to link you directly there at the click of your mouse but you will need to copy the whole string and paste it on the website toolbar. Once you have viewed the first video, there will be prompts on your screen leading you to the next and so on and that is the way it goes until you reach the last video.

Of course many of us are wondering, why only now? there are many reasons for it but I believe the main one is that we are in the last days and the Lord is doing a mighty work to dispel all doubts about His logos (written word) the Bible and also to convince His people the Israelites that He is not only their God but He is also their Messiah and to exact their response, "Baruch Hashem Adonai, Yeshua Ha'Mashiah" (Blessed is the Name of the Lord, Jesus the Savior).
Well, like it or not, events are accelerating in Israel and the number of believing Jews or Messianic Jews are on the increase to the glory of our Lord.

The Crucifixion Site of Christ

The late archeologist, Ron Wyatt, made a number of interesting finds in the Land of the Bible. Back in the early 80's he actually found a cave beneath Mount Moriah (Skull Hill) after being led to the site by the Holy Spirit to examine the vicinity and he stumbled on a fairly large cave where he found an interesting looking object. Upon closer examination, he realized that he might have stumbled upon an object that was made out of solid gold and on which he found hardened bloodstains.

He then traced these stains up a crack in the ceiling of the cave and discovered above that stood a depression in the ground on top of the mountain. He further found the depression to be on a raised slope above two others and which he believed was the place where the cross on which Christ was crucified stood.

I will leave you to examine this video of one scientist who spoke with the late archeologist at first hand as he explained what the discovery was all about. My apologies that I cannot link the video directly here, so you will need to copy the URL as I have given it and paste it to enable you to watch the video.

Interesting Discoveries.

It has been a month since my last post. A lot of things had taken place and I am excited especially since I came across this article a friend shared with my on my Facebook. The sharing of information is related to a rather interesting discovery way back in the late Eighties but not many people took notice of it until recently. In this post, I want to set the stage for the next couple more posts when I will give you links to some videos posted on YouTube.

The sharing begins... (Ron Wyatt is a fortune hunter but turned into an amateur archeologist)

Henry Gruver tells about Ron Wyatt

Dear friends:

The other day I promised to share what Henry Gruver says about the late Ron Wyatt's claimed discovery of the Ark of the Covenant hidden beneath Golgotha. It is in Gruver's book, "The Rebirth of Judah and the Glorious Church." You can order a copy by calling 712-647-3104.

By way of review, Ron Wyatt claimed that he found the Ark while digging beneath the hillside where Jesus was crucified. Below the location of the cross, he claimed, is a crack in the rock structure through which Jesus' blood seeped, and blood was found on the Mercy Seat of the Ark below, where it had dripped. Blood tests reportedly show the blood to be a person without a human father, which of course would have been the virgin-born Jesus, the Lamb of God.

The below is from Henry Gruver's book, pages 31-34:

Gruver tells about meeting Wyatt in 1989, when Wyatt said, "Henry, the Lord has told me I am allowed to tell you something."

He proceeded to share about how he first discovered the location when looking for gold coins with a detector. "The detector suddenly peaked out. He realized there was a tremendous presence of gold down there and foretold much more than coins…. Sometime later he broke into a chamber where he found, among other related things, a golden table, a seven-tiered candlestick made of one beaten piece of gold, and a sarcophagus (a stone burial cask) with a crack in the top of it. Right above the cask was what appeared to be a crack that proved to be the continuation of the crack to the left of the center cross-hole. (He had previously described this hole found where Jesus' cross had sat.) As straight as a plumb line, he found the crack continued down until it positioned directly above the crack in the sarcophagus. (He has on video the samples that appeared to be blood that he had scraped from above and scraped from the top of the sarcophagus by the crack).

"He submitted the discolored material to six different laboratories, the first one being in Jerusalem. It came back testing as human blood. However, it also came back as blood that had never been seen before. It had chromosomes that gave proof of an earthly mother, and that the blood was the blood of a son; but no chromosome giving proof of an earthly father."

Gruver goes on to explain, "Ron Wyatt and I were with Demon Shakarian, founder of the Full Gospel Businessman's Fellowship, Int'l. in Phoenix, Arizona. I sat right next to a document specialist who had been called by the organization, from Los Angeles, California, to prove the validity of Ron's laboratory test certificates -- including the document concerning the blood. The documents all included the seals of the laboratories that did the testing. After careful examination, the specialist verified that the documents were indeed authentic….. "

Ron further explained that he found the blood directly under the center cross-hole in the archeological dig. He also found it to be on top of the sarcophagus, which held the Ark of the Covenant.

(Skipping 2-3 paragraphs…)

Henry Gruver continues:

"In 1997, Israeli officials sent in six men to go into the chamber with flashlights and two-way radios, in order to be able to move the Ark of the Covenant and the Table of Shewbread and the rest of the furnishings within the chamber. All six of them were stricken dead. All six of them died instantly of a massive stroke. It was reported in brief news items in newspapers all across America. They simply reported that outside the old city walls of Jerusalem, six men died in a chamber containing artifacts of great antiquity. The Jerusalem officials were afraid to go into the chamber after they lost radio contact with the men. They called Ron, in America, asking him to come over and check it out. He agreed and they made immediate arrangements for him to fly in to Israel.

"He told me later that that when he came out of the tunnel to the chamber to tell the officials that all six of the men were dead in one heap inside the tunnel, some of the officials were trembling so badly that they had to sit down. I think they were fearful that Almighty God was going to strike them with lightning. They had wanted to move those furnishings. God said, 'No, you're not! You may have paid the soldiers off once to say that someone stole Jesus' body, but you are not going to get by with this one.'

End of quote.

A New Believer's Prayer

Thank you Father for loving us so much that You sent Your precious Son Jesus Christ to this world to die for all our sins. I receive Jesus into my heart as my Lord and Savior.
Thank you that all my sins have been nailed to the Cross on Jesus at His death and because He died in our place, I am now saved forever. I have been made righteous in Your sight because of what Jesus did and I can now enjoy Your blessings over my life. Thank you for the privilege of being called Your Child and for the Gift of Your Holy Spirit in my life. AMEN
