When the US VP praises Iran's moderate leadership but attacks Israel's extremism, you know we have a problem

Since 1948, the #Israel Defense Forces has one mission: to protect the citizens of Israel! Founded on May 26, 1948! (2 days ago)😍💪🇮🇱

This is about Jerusalem — not Palestinian statehood. Palestinians are being strategically propped up as a political and religious wedge to divide the city and undermine Jewish sovereignty over Zion. The deeper objective is to retroactively validate and entrench Islam’s claim to a permanent temple — the Al-Aqsa compound — on the Temple Mount, thereby erasing or subordinating the site’s ancient and unbroken Jewish identity.

Who has ascended into heaven and returned? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name? Surely you know. — Proverbs 30:4

@abi4560 Blessings in Yeshua, the Holy One of Israel.

Ezekiel 36:22-24 “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations... I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.’”

@jakobe291 SCRIPTURE VINDICATES ISRAEL. For His Name’s sake the exiled are restored.

The context: Yeshua had just fed the five thousand, and now the crowd wanted more free bread. Instead, He declared: “I am the Bread of Life… unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.” That statement shattered them. It violated every Torah instinct concerning blood. Disciples grumbled. Disciples walked away. Yet the Master did not chase them down or soften a single word. He allowed the hard truth to do its dividing work. Then came the key that exposes every scoffer: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of Spirit and life.” (John 6:63) Yeshua is the Word of God made flesh. He is Truth itself. Life flows from His mouth. Hear the rebuke of the Messiah Himself: “The Father who sent Me has Himself testified concerning Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form, nor does His word dwell in you, for you do not believe the One He sent. You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; but these are the very Scriptures that testify about Me, yet you refuse to come to Me that you may have life.” (John 5:37–40) Many search the Scriptures yet reject the very One to whom they point. The letter without the Spirit leaves a veil over the heart. Eternal life is found in the Son.

@marandawrites1 @JewMessianic @digijordan That’s an incredible point, sister!

Babes in Christ may be given grace as they grow, but any mature believer who diligently studies God’s Word can clearly see: The LORD made an everlasting covenant with Israel. He has declared throughout Scripture that He will regather them to the land of their fathers for His name’s sake, as a witness to the nations. Even in the New Testament, Israel must be back in her appointed place, stewarding Zion, before Messiah returns. Every prophet spoke of Israel’s restoration after scattering. Isaiah saw it dramatically: “Has a nation ever been born in a single day? Has a nation ever come forth in a mere moment?” (Isaiah 66:8) He portrays her as a woman in labor — then the LORD powerfully declares: “Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” says the LORD. (Isaiah 66:9) This same imagery explodes in Revelation 12: “A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.” (Revelation 12:1) The woman is Israel — the Nation through whom Messiah came. She cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. Then the dragon appeared. After he is cast down to earth, knowing his time is short, he pursues the woman in fury. But she is given the two wings of a great eagle and nourished for a time, times and half a time (Revelation 12:14) — the final 3½ years (1,260 days / 42 months) of Jacob’s Trouble. This matches Daniel exactly: “The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time.” (Daniel 7:25) When the shattering of the holy people is finally complete (Daniel 12:7), the kingdom is given to the saints of the Most High (Daniel 7:27). In that hour God raises His two witnesses in Jerusalem to prophesy for 1,260 days (Revelation 11:3). Then the nations gather against Jerusalem: “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples staggering… I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it.” (Zechariah 12:2, 14:2) Half the city will fall, but then: “The LORD will go out and fight against those nations, as He fights on a day of battle.” (Zechariah 14:3) He will destroy the attacking nations (Zechariah 12:9), and pour out on the house of David and Jerusalem: “A spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on Me, the One they have pierced, and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child.” (Zechariah 12:10) The signs are converging. The fig tree is putting forth leaves. Birth pains are intensifying. Watch and pray. The King is coming. #Israel #Prophecy #Revelation #Zechariah #EndTimes

Rwandans killed 800,000 people in 3 months with oversized knives. Cambodians killed 2 million people in 3 years with gardening tools. Israelis failed to kill 100,000 Palestinians in 78 years with one of the most advanced militaries in the world. Israel really sucks at genocide.

@jakobe291 For the law was given by Moses, but Grace and Truth came by Yeshua Hamashiach. Truth without grace can wound. Grace without truth can enable. Together, they heal and restore.

@OnlyGB @jakobe291 Apologies, I was rushed while making this post because I had to leave for work. Shalom to all my Jewish friends who sincerely seek the truth.

@abi4560 I appreciate Deuteronomy 6:25 and 30:11–14 — the Torah is righteous and not too difficult in itself. Yet we must hold this together with the reality of the Fall. Before the Fall, Adam and Eve needed no written Torah. God’s will lived naturally in their innocent hearts — obedience was pure rest, not effort. After the Fall, guilt entered and innocence was lost. The Torah was given to a corrupt, fallen people. Its primary purpose is to expose and condemn that corruption. It shows the perfect Eden standard of restful righteousness, but because our hearts are deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9), **no fallen person can keep the Torah inwardly from the heart**. The righteous law therefore becomes condemnation. This is why the Torah and the Prophets speak of something deeper: heart circumcision (Deuteronomy 30:6) and God putting His law in our inward parts so we can walk in it. If the Torah is truly “not too difficult,” why do the Prophets repeatedly promise we need a renewed heart? That is a real tension in the Torah itself.

Psalm 110 opens the mystery: “The LORD says to my Lord: Sit at My right hand…” David calls the coming Messiah “my Lord,” yet this same figure is “a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek” — a Priest-King outside the Levitical system. Melchizedek first appears in Genesis 14: king of Salem (peace) and priest of God Most High. He brings bread and wine, blesses Abraham, and receives tithes. His priesthood points to something eternal. Then comes Genesis 22 — the Akedah on Mount Moriah, the future Temple Mount. Abraham is commanded to offer Isaac: his only beloved son, the miracle child, the child of promise through whom blessing would come to all nations. But Abraham had already met Melchizedek years earlier. That encounter planted deep in his soul the reality of a Priest-King greater than himself — a royal priesthood of righteousness and peace. When the knife was raised, Abraham was not walking blindly. He believed God could raise the dead and that God Himself would provide the sacrifice. Isaac willingly carried the wood on his own shoulders. Ancient sages said he bore it “like one who carries his cross.” Abraham told the servants, “We will return to you” — faith in resurrection. He offered the son. A substitute was given. The promise was renewed. Abraham walked down that mountain having rehearsed in shadow the drama of the coming Messiah: The greater Melchizedek The greater Isaac The Lamb God Himself would provide The fullness of Scripture testifies of this Messiah. Micah 5:2 — Born in Bethlehem, from ancient days. Isaiah 7:14 — Born of a virgin, called Immanuel. Then the suffering: Isaiah 53 — Despised, rejected, a man of sorrows. Pierced for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities. Silent like a lamb to the slaughter. By His wounds we are healed. The LORD laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Psalm 22 — “My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?” They pierce my hands and my feet. They cast lots for my clothing. Zechariah 12:10 — “They will look on Me, the one they have pierced, and mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child.” The Messiah is the Suffering Servant — both eternal Priest and perfect Sacrifice, the pierced King who now sits at the right hand. The One David called “my Lord” is the Lamb provided on the mountain. From eternity He comes.

@BasedSolutions1 @jakobe291 @grok Actually, Israel is the Church (the called-out assembly), and Gentiles are grafted into it. x.com/i/grok/share/3…

@BasedSolutions1 @grok @jakobe291 What did the Apostles say about Gentiles replacing Israel? x.com/i/grok/share/0…

The heart of the matter is what matters most. Missy’s question is dead right in spirit: If Christ didn’t bear the punishment for our sins, how is God just in forgiving us? You’re missing it by nitpicking a label while dodging the reality Scripture shouts. Isaiah 53: “The Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all… He bore the sin of many.” Paul: God made Him sin for us. Peter: He “bore our sins in His body on the tree.” That’s not a “Reformed third-party middleman.” That’s the eternal Son willingly offering Himself to the Father so the triune God could absorb the wrath Himself. God is both just and the justifier (Romans 3:25-26). Don’t quench a sincere heart seeking God’s holiness and mercy with terminology debates. The Messiah did bear the penalty for sinners. That’s not man-made theology — that’s the blood that makes forgiveness just. The cross answers her question perfectly. Let’s honor it.
