The UMC has declared itself against God's chosen people, Israel. This will be a final calling out of those in their midst who still hear the true Shepherd's voice. The spirit who stands against Christ seeks to void the everlasting, unilateral, irrevocable covenant of God with the Jewish people, which the living God will fulfill for His own name's sake, regardless of the worthiness or merit of the Jews or the modern State of Israel.

The choice that human governments and church institutions have is whether to cooperate and rejoice in God's Plan for Eternal Peace including the restoration of His right to rule this earth, or join Satan's kingdom in opposition to God's promises. Secular humanism, even rationalized and justified by a counterfeit social gospel, is NOT the one, true gospel of the Kingdom of the living God. Christ has called His disciples to REPENT, to turn away from sin and toward God for His Kingdom is at hand!

The consequences for the dwindling ranks of the United Methodist Church are both temporal and eternal. In the short run there will be another trumpet sounding to the conservative believers of the UMC to flee this apostate denomination. It's false teachings, wrapped in the fleece of social justice are a stench in the nostrils of the living God. Those who mislead the brethren with teaching against God's promise to Israel will pay an eternal cost, if not in the forfeiture of salvation at least in the losing of crowns or rewards at the Bema judgment of believers.

God's plan has always been for Israel to be His people, through whom Scripture and the Messiah have come into this world. Also, it is through the Jews that God has and will continue to demonstrate His sovereign grace and mercy as well as His right to rule His creation,which was given to Adam and subsequently forfeit to Satan. God is setting the stage to restore all things back under His direct authority. We humans, including the deceived and deceiving Palestinian apologists at the UMC Missions Board, have the opportunity to align ourselves with God's covenant with Israel, promises upon which He has sworn by His own holiness, or to join the rebellion of Satan, whose counterfeit program is to make void the promises of God in order that he might be exalted to rule in His place!!!!

The history of the Jewish people, from time immemorial has been that of Satan's seeking their destruction. First to cut off the Messiah, but failing that, Satan's last stand is to eliminate the Jews,to "wipe them off the map" in order that God's promises to them cannot be fulfilled. If this were possible, Satan reasons that God loses and Satan wins not only the earth, but all of creation as Satan's to rule! God, who has sworn His covenant with Abraham upon Himself, will, under the conditions of a blood covenant, put Himself under Satan's right to rule and judge Him! While this is impossible (for a created being,Satan, to take the life of the Ancient of Days) Satan is obsessed in his relentless attack upon Israel and the Jewish people. From Haman in the 5th century BC, Rome in 70 and 135 AD, through numerous pogrommes, exiles and persecutions, Hitler's final solution up until the present Islamist apostle, Ahmedinejad, the spirit that strives with God has moved througout history to destroy His people in order to abort God's Kingdom being established on the earth as it is in heaven!

Against All Odds, God has a different peace plan that will prevail in our own generation!

Maranatha!
