Word From Yerushalaim

I am resending this latest article to clear some confusion. I
sent this article with the photo of Berten Waggoner on the top
of the article, which led many to believe Berten Waggoner was
the author. I am sorry for the confusion but it was I (Simantov)
that wrote the upper part exposing this grave error(s). Berten
Waggoner is the leader of the Vineyard movement and along with
eighty four other prominent Christian leaders supports a two
state solution. Which is totally against scripture and sin!

What will it look like when the great falling away begins? What
does it look like when apostasy enters into church teaching?
Is it possible that in the churches attempt to be politically
correct that they will forsake sound doctrine to please men?
Is it possible that great well-known preachers and televangelists
could begin to teach false doctrines in our time now in 2007?
Here is what scripture says will happen "For the time will
come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their
own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching
ears; And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and
shall be turned unto fables." 2Ti 4:3-4 .
There are some very serious biblical errors being propagated
in the church around the world today concerning Israel. We have
people like John Haggee teaching that Yeshua never presented
himself as Messiah to the Jewish people. Which is such a great
lie according to the scriptures. But in the ignorance of scripture
there are millions of Christians being deceived by this lie (look
at John Haggee's new book "In Defense of Israel").
And the consequence and fallout is that they to will be dissuaded
from sharing the gospel with the Jewish people. There are large
"Christian" organizations inside and outside of Israel
that have joined themselves to a governmental committee that
takes this following position without any rebuttal to the committee
chairman; "The caucus condemns and refuses alliances with
any groups that pursue the conversion of Jews to Christianity."

The list of these organizations include Bridges For Peace, Christian
Friends of Israel, International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem...
and many more. Some of the largest ministries in America have
joined themselves to this Israeli government Caucus, and in so
doing have defied some of the most basic scriptural foundations
of the faith. "But ye shall receive power, after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me
(Yeshua) both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Act 1:8 How can
we ever as born again Christians agree to this kind of a position?
Then there are many other well know ministers and ministries
taking a very unbiblical position concerning the Jewish peoples
right to live in and own the biblical land of Israel. They publicly
state their support for a "two state resolution", declaring
Israel must surrender her eternal God given inheritance to her
sworn enemies so that a Palestinian state can be established
on her soil. In Ezekiel chapter 36 the Lord has this prophet
prophecy this;
"Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel,
and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:"
Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, [even] my people Israel;
and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance,
and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them [of men]. also
the Lord tells us why this prophetic declaration is being made;
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD;
I do not [this] for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine
holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither
ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned
among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them;
and the heathen shall know that I [am] the LORD, saith the Lord
GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For
I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of
all countries, and will bring you into your own land." Eze
36:1,12,22-24
I encourage you to read all of Ezekiel chapter 36, and you will
see that there is an evil strategy unfolding right now before
our eyes. Is it any surprise that the land that is being demanded
currently for a Palestinian state is in-fact the "mountains
of Israel" as we see in verse one? There are countless verses
in scripture which make it too clear that this following declaration
comes from hell and not from the Lord. Here is a prominent one
Lev 25:23, and Psa 105:8-11 you will see that the land covenant
here is "for ever". Who are these men representing?
Not the God of my bible. I am being very strong on this issue
of exposing deception in the western church, because it is very
important that we adhere to the word of God and not the word
of these men or any others that declare lies and apostasy. Be
warned if you are a member of, or supporter of any of these ministries,
you have an obligation to call for correction and repentance
based on the word of God; 2Ti 4:2. I will no longer sit and just
ignore the gross error being propagated by these Christian leaders,
"Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees...Then understood
they how that he bade [them] not beware of the leaven of bread,
but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."
Mat 16:6-12.

Evangelical Statement on Israel/Palestine
Evangelical Statement on Israel/Palestine
[Excerpts]
As evangelical Christians committed to the full authority
of the Scriptures, we feel compelled to make a statement together
at this historic moment in the life of the Holy Land.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is near a momentous turning
point. The strife has continued -- sometimes simmering, sometimes
exploding in terrible conflict -- for decades.
As evangelical Christians, we believe our faith compels us
to speak a word together at this crucial moment.
The Bible clearly teaches that God longs for justice and peace
for all people. We believe that the principles about justice
taught so powerfully by the Hebrew prophets apply to all nations,
including the United States, Israel, and the Palestinians. Therefore
we are compelled to work for a fair, negotiated solution for
both Israelis and Palestinians. We resolve to work diligently
for a secure, enduring peace and a flourishing economy for the
democratic State of Israel. We also resolve to work for a viable
permanent, democratic Palestinian State with a flourishing economy
that offers economic opportunity to all its people. We believe
that the way forward is for the Israelis and Palestinians to
negotiate a fair, two-state solution.
We are encouraged that the Israeli and Palestinian governments
have officially endorsed a two-state solution and that polls
demonstrate that solid majorities in both Israel and Palestine
embrace this path.
We call on all evangelicals, all Christians, and everyone
of good will to join us to work and pray faithfully in the coming
months for a just, lasting two-state solution in the Holy Land.
We call on all involved governments to work diligently toward
this goal. And we covenant to pray for the leaders of all the
nations engaged in this effort, hoping for them the blessing
of our Lord, who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers."
As we work and pray, we are strengthened by the truth that
Christ will return some day to complete his victory over sin
and injustice, and we are empowered by the knowledge that until
He comes again, He summons us to support the things that promote
peace and justice for everyone in the Holy Land.
