Power of Prophecy
Dear Sister Rita, February 20, 2005 I received your wonderful letter, also the enclosed essay
from Brother Nicholas, and the great Cephas Newsletters. I have
always been blessed by the Cephas materials and so much appreciate
what you and George accomplished through God's strength.
4) God is not a racist, He is no respecter of persons. We must also welcome all races and preach and love all. I try to do this and ask God's help in achieving it always. 5) Jesus said you must be born again in spirit and in truth (John 3), so what will one's flesh avail? God's Spirit, and all of us, Christians, will be given a new immortal body. How foolish to dwell on racial matters in terms of "superiority" or "inferiority." It is stupid and sinful. 6) Paul wrote, "And if ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise." (Galatians 3:29) Is this true, Rita? If so, then God's chosen are those who are born again in Christ Jesus. Thus Jews and Gentiles may be God's chosen. God has broken down the partition that separates the two and has made of the two one people. This is the "Israel of God" and the "Common wealth of Israel" which Paul mentions. 7) It is a wicked and disgusting thing to demand land and material things when our wonderful Savior has the spiritual treasures of heaven as our inheritance. All who focus on a nation Israel of physical traits do not have their eyes on Jesus and on Heaven. This is what has happened to the Zionists and Judaizers. They demand a material Kingdom, Now! Right here on earth, what insanity, pride and avarice! 8) If I do not expose the sins of physical Israel and if I hide and cover up the sins of one race, the Jews, am I not favoring man over God? Am I not a racist? God has called me to tell the truth, not to exalt a race or DNA. No wonder Paul warned us not to waste time on foolish genealogies!! Jesus is our focus, not a race or physical nation. Jesus! 9) Finally, though the subject pales in comparison with the truth and doctrine of salvation by faith in Jesus, there is the rapture. The Scriptures tell us of the "catching up" of the saints, that the dead in our Lord shall rise first and we who remain will meet them in the air at the last trump. Isaiah 26-27 tell us this will occur before God's great wrath punishes the inhabitants of earth who rejected Christ Jesus. This, then, is rapture before the Great Tribulation. This
is what I teach. "And so all Israel shall be saved," Paul
testified. Yes, all Israel - the Israel of God. "In
Isaac is thy name called, "Paul said of believers in
Jesus, "Abraham's seed," "heirs according
to the promise." For salvation and citizenship in Zion,
in Heavenly Jerusalem, in Israel My Glory, is not
a matter of race, but of a changed purified heart through faith
in Jesus. And that alone. This is my heart. I pray for you, for Nicholas, and for Cephas. We shall see each other by and by, of that I am sure. All God's Love, Texe (Daniel 12:10) "Many shall
be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall
do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the
wise shall understand." (kjv) |
