Merry Christmas from Israel? The Persians are coming!
Today I received an email from Mike Evans and "the Jerusalem Prayer Team" with the subject of "Merry Christmas from Israel".
My first thought was.... "now, that is a bizarre subject heading". Then on second thought... "what an unwitting, ignorant insult to the Jewish people... and more importantly... an insult to the El of Abraham, Isaak, and Jacob ".
The message goes...
I am writing you this Christmas message from Israel. I flew here to declare a word from the Lord—a word to warn the nations and call them to a Second Chronicles 7:14 season of fasting and prayer. There is no doubt that 2010 will be a year of unspeakable living hell for the Jewish people if God’s people do not stand in the gap NOW.
Iran could fire over 40,000 missiles at Israel from its proxies Hezzbolah and Hamas. It could also go to war against Israel and fire its Russian and North Korean missiles at the cities of Israel. In addition, Iran will send suicide bombers by the thousands to kill Jews, not just in Israel but in every country where they can be found worldwide.
So Mike declares a word from "the Lord"... dressing it up in a not-so-holy-day derived from sun-worshipping baby-sacrificing pagans... and beseeches us to humble ourselves and to pray (referencing II Chronicles 7:14)... and according to him, we also need to "warn the nations".... for the Persians are coming!!
Now wait... who exactly is raising up the Persians as a modern threat to the Jewish nation and a threat to a multitude of other nations? That is something I'm asking myself.
I do wonder if Mike has actually read Jeremiah 10 or 17, but of course, celebrating Christmas is not the primary reason that judgment is coming. Christmas and its antiquitous pagan-roots are but a small resemblance of how clueless and profane much of the so-called "people of God" have become (both Christians and Jews).
Fasting and praying is not going to delay judgment if we're not also willing to TURN and change... and stop mixing our lives with things that anger Yah. What about the rest of II Chronicles 7 that is so difficult to understand? Our ancestors performed mixed worship... with strange fire... and now we continue to do it.
The people of Yah (both Jew-dah and 10-Israel nations) must humble ourselves and return to Him... and then He will fight on our behalf... INSTEAD of instigating and empowering our enemies (i.e., Iran, Islam, Arabs, neo-nazis, tyrannical governments and bankers, etc) as punishment against us.
From Assyria, Babylonia, Rome, to Germany, Yah has raised up enemies against Judah and Israel to judge them when they refused to walk according to His Word. The modern nation of Iran is not Judah's or the Wests' greatest threat. Judah's greatest threat is Judah. The Wests' greatest threat is the West. We serve ourselves. We serve secular humanism. We serve our religious tyrants and their traditions... but rarely do we serve Yah and truly seek to know His path. Instead, we subjugate ourselves to political and cultural correctness at every turn. We bow down to our Christmas trees, color our Ishtar eggs, care little for the widows and orphans, and abort our unborn children by the hundreds of thousands for the sake of population control, convenience, and material gain.
Yeah... Mike, praying and fasting is not going to keep the Persians at bay. BUT, praying and fasting and TURNING will keep Yah at bay... and He is the One we need to be most concerned with.
And torching your pagan nimrod tree will be a fantastic place to start.

I would like to take this time to send out a warning to all of you who might have been approached by the Messianic Prophecy Bible Project, Bibles for Israel, located in Pueblo ,Colorado. These people will tell you they are translating the Bible into Hebrew for Jews in Israel, and they may certainly be doing that but what they didn’t tell me (and shamefully so) is that they support ‘christmas’ and promote that to jews as well. In the revelation given to John (last book of the Bible) the ‘church’/assembly of Pergamum is charged with being followers of Balaam who taught Balak how to set a trap for the Israelites to get them to walk contrary to Yahweh elohim. The Israelites were defeated because of the ‘errors’. If we do err then we will also be defeated. I want to be as blameless as I know to be….and I know that keeping or promoting spiritual adultery such as christmas, even by proxy of these people in Judea/the Land, is venturing into the wrath of Elohim. These people are deluded and dangerous to your walk with Yahweh. It’s what we don’t know that will get us into trouble. The poison in the wine will kill you,whether you know the poison is there or you do not know the poison is there. The ‘devil’ is called a snake because he hides well and is poisonous. Beware of these people if you want to keep your robes clean.
