A POET ARISES IN ISRAEL II
Should I not be grieved at the demonic massacre of my people after the flesh – though after the spirit I am a Jew in the service of Yeshua Ha’Mashiach, Jesus of Nazareth! Whom the Jewish state denies.
I am indeed grieved.
Many pundits have spoken of the recent days of trouble that have come upon the Jewish State. I speak now to give some clarity and vision in the fog of war, and the fog of spiritual darkness in the world generally.
A booklet I’ve recently published, embedded in a larger work, A Great and Terrible Love:
An excerpt from the title poem in the booklet,
I say the rabbis have led my people into the curses of Moses these past twenty centuries, for if we had pleased God and were under His sure covenant blessings and protection, how is it possible we had been spewed from the land to be slaughtered and despised among the goyim two thousand years and to end in the ovens of Hitler? The truth is – and only can be! – we have followed treasonous leaders in betrayal of our King, and have reaped their destruction. O nation of fools, we, to be blinded so long! As the prophets foretold, the Gentiles came to His light, and we followed our teachers into darkness even unto this blood-filled day! Cast off the pretenders who have slain our millions and return to the one Book we are the people of!
What’s going on with all the horror and demonic slaughter of my people? Yes, I know there has been injustice in how Israelis have dealt with the Palestinians, but what is going on now has the fingerprints on it of the demon that energizes Jihadist Islam, the Allah of Mohammed (not to be confused with the ‘Allah’ of the Christians – Allah being the generic Arabic for God).
As Mahmoud al-Zahar, the chief political guide of Hamas, says, “Israel is Only the First Target”. All us other unbelieving infidels and “useful idiots” are next.
This is my point, as the Poet of Israel (after the Spirit): Why is all this happening to the Jews? And I speak now to you Jews:
When the sun shines there is warmth; when it recedes there is darkness and cold. The sun does not cause the darkness, its absence does. When God takes His covenant protection from us – when He withdraws from us because of the vileness of our hearts, and our disdain for His covenant – who causes Him to distance from the moral repulsiveness of our ways? And when He is gone, and darkness is in our house, then devils come to wreak havoc in those once called the people of God. He said through the prophet Hosea, “yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!” (9:12) And through Moses He said – with respect to the breaking of the covenant,
"Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?" (Deuteronomy 31:17)
What do you, my Jewish brothers and sisters, make of all this horrific suffering we are going through?
If you are secular Jews you are but dead meat, for without your God you are lost – without the God of Israel you are but victims of the errant rabbis who taught your ancestors, of whom it is said,
"For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed." (the prophet Isaiah 9:16)
If you are religious Jews, of whatever suasion, it is the same with you. Without the true Mashiach, Jesus of Nazareth, you also are dead meat. Your rabbis – for millennia – have led us astray unto our destruction. Otherwise how can you explain the horrors we are in?
You non-Jews listening in are no better off without Messiah, who is also the Saviour of the entire world – those within it who believe and trust in Him – for there is soon coming a butchering rapine – including not only of our properties, but our and our loved ones’ bodies – for the god of Mohammed is also the god of totalitarian Communist China, North Korea, Russia, and all other political systems that shall side with – or be destroyed by – an incarnation of this demon prince, Satan, who will bring in the dystopia we see slowly encroaching upon the whole earth as seer Tolkien saw the shadow of Mordor creeping over Middle Earth in his fantasies.
The horrors we see in the Jewish State, of Muslim hordes ravaging their “infidel” neighbors across the Gaza line, is but a cameo of the larger Armageddon to come over the entire earth. The “victims” will be the people of God – the Christians – and the marauders will be all those who hate them. Jews may escape this onslaught by giving their allegiance to the king of the marauders, known as the antichrist or man of sin, the final world ruler and servant of Satan, before the returning Christ casts him (and them) into the Lake of the Fire of His anger. Clearly, siding with this monster will end one into the Lake of fire with him!
The servant of Christ, Poet of Israel, is given to speak plainly of these things. If I do not, I will displease Him whose servant I am, and this I am loathe to do!

Very sad situation, and we know that the LORD sees, and knows, and allows, and disallows, to bring His plan forward.
