CATEGORY:RELIGION --------------------- INSIDE GRENADA TUESDAY June 26,2007 by Osborne Baptiste (Part 1) Fellow Grenadian, visitors, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus Christ our Lord. 2:Pe.1: 2. Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, in December of 2002; I wrote two articles entitled: "There Shall Never Be A Palestinian State." At that time I based my belief in the authentic word of God; or on the truth of the gospel. It was my conviction then; and still is, that independence for the Palestinian people will never happen. With some modifications in the current issue, in the interest of those people who study: "Current Events, On National, And International Affairs,” and in regard to end time prophesies: I believe, that every church in this country, that teaches the truth of the gospel, should set aside time, to up grade its members on events as they unfold. The objective should be to buildup, and strengthen the faith; of the believer, in the truth of the gospel: by accepting the fact; that Christ Jesus is coming soon. Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: it is amazing that in this day and age, with all the infallible proof of the authenticity of the truth of the gospel; that people could teach that the Israel today, is not the Israel that God is talking about in these last days. Thou wilt say then, the branches were broken off that I might be grafted in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not high minded, but fear.Ro.11: 19 & 20. Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: please read the whole chapter and you will see that the promise of restoration is well documented. Therefore any church you go to, that teaches this nonsense, you should turn away from them; they are dangerous cults; and should not be followed. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand forever. Is. 40: 8.Is not my word like as a fire? Saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Je.23:29. Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: "Replacement Theology." is from the pit of hell. It is heretical of course, and has reflected itself in many teachings, in which allegorizing and spiritualizing has replaced sound doctrine. Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus: it is our fear and respect for God; that brings conviction in our hearts; to accept the truth of the gospel. Where there is no fear or respect for God, there can dwell no truth. And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse; in all places whither I shall drive them. And I will send the sword, the famine the pestilence, among them till they be consumed off the land that I gave them and their fathers. Je.24:9 & 10. Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. Because ye have said, we have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid our selves. Is.28:14 &15. NB. That the prophet is seeing Israel in charge of Jerusalem, at the time when he prophesied, and he is speaking of the Seven Year Treaty, that they will sign with the anti- Christ. These prophesies, would never have been fulfilled; if the Jew's identity, was not retained by God. And if it was not retained by God; neither would Hitler; or any of their persecutors; would have been so successful, against them. Neither would it have been possible; for them to come together, as a nation again. The retention of their identity by God is of paramount importance as a determinant; as to whether or not after 2000 years; they were entitled to the land. I have said it before that "boundaries that are set from above cannot be change from below." The Quartet which comprises of USA-EU-RUSSIA and UN: must be made to understand quite clearly; that the Roadmap for peace in the Middle East is not in the full implementation of resolution 242 and 338 and 1397. I repeat that these nations must be made to understand quite clearly, that they are dealing with a spiritual matter; that will not accept a carnal solution; for an answer. The truth is in the word of God. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Ez.36: 24. For I will set my eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. Je.24: 6.
