Corinthians 12:7-10 “…in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I [Paul] was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong”

To adhere to lawlessness, lies, and corruption; is by extension to deny truth and encourage evil to flourish within the world.
None of us are excused from such wicked, complacent or passive behavior in the eyes of the Lord, if we have been made aware of the truth.
Romans 12: 21:Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans 13: Continues –
13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
The way I read the U.S. Constitution, the Federal Government has no right under our laws to shut down private or corporate enterprise in any form: including factory production of various items, on a large or small scale. They are NOT to take control (but only regulate) the banking and commodities industry, automotive industry, aircraft industry, mining industry, farming industry, food service industry, grocery industry, hardware, software industry, the transportation industry, including shipping, oil industry, natural gas industry, firearms industry, medical industry, research, development, or scientific advancements. The Government cannot (legally) invade or confiscate private homes or property, land – or its management, nor any natural resource without express consent of its people.
A free Government has no right to dictate how people are educated, what people can read, or how to express themselves; be it by word of mouth in the public or private sector. Or be it by the written word, or in broadcasting; except for war, or a “real” (not contrived) national emergency.
Ask yourself, why was “freedom of assembly” one of the first principles of our Government?
It should be obvious; so the people could not be controlled by an outside force or the State – apart from our constitutional laws.
Totalitarian Governments, Tyrants, and Dictators, function in violation of all the above principles of “human rights”. Power to the people: often chanted by peoples oppressed, are enshrined within our Constitution. Even the name Constitution itself, was agreed to by free men and women who insisted how they wanted to be governed by the State.
Yet Totalitarian Government and Global elitists seek ways to grab power and wealth, natural resources, private property, and civil liberties, and therefore oppress and ultimately enslave the masses. But first they must convince people all this is done in their best interests; (health education and welfare) and for the interests of the collective, and even in using as a political tool the environment in which we live and breath!
History has proven tyranny out again and again, and only the ignorance of these principles, are the first step towards control, and the ultimate power grab of humanity!
Isaiah 5:20Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
I could go on and on writing verses (like the link holds above) yet it is fruitless for the heart which has become hardened to God!
As an accredited (Reformed) minister, I have watched the world spiral slowly downwards away from the Lord God into liberal relativism or pluralism; there is no anchor of truth broadly, only a consistent drifting away from the Lord and His Holy Righteousness, which is only made complete in Christ!
Alas, most conservative, or extensively Christian website are marked as “Ultra-Right” websites, often said to be fake or extremist in content! I have personally been witnessing that most web advisors increasingly mark such pages as Dangerous to your computer, citing everything from Phishing scams (Like Sean Hannity’s new book – Live free of Die)or the “forced closed – for content violation website” AMERICA’S FRONTLINE DOCTORS, which was forced to move to (I believe PJ medias)SUMMIT NEWS website, because of a BREITBART NEWS live broadcast on Monday, July 27, 2020: listed, then later taken down by Facebook, including removing Tweets by President Trump – it had 17 Million Views!
Then Twitter, YouTube, and some other “Big 6”web advisor browsers marked the newAmerica’s Frontline Doctors web pageasMalicious Sites with having Trojan Horses, Viruses… which exploit security vulnerabilities in browsers or other applications!
World Net Daily (WND), another Christian based conservative news site, is described as “ an American news and opinion website and online news aggregator which has been described as “fringe” and far right as well…”
Jihad Watch is a blog run by Robert B. Spencer (who’s books are listed in FBI training materials) has been described as an anti-Muslim conspiracy website, pushing “Islamophobia”. Yet Robert Spencer is a devout Christian man stating that he is pushing “the ‘good’ kind of Islamophobe” in an attempt to warn the (Western) World of the dangers of Jihad.
Other Christian site like Dr. James Dobson’sFocus on the Family are increasingly marked as extreme and dangerous, although they have been around for years, in helping families raise children, some having specific needs.
What I am witnessing is a tightening of the Christian informed culture, as being biased and bigoted, not because they have changed their positions; but because the world is becoming increasingly hostile towards them!
This election year, with many failed attempts to remove the President of the United States, it is increasingly obvious the lengths that the left and Globalist will go to in dividing and destroying the country, and even the world in dictating their policies – which have even taken form of protecting the environment, food water and population control.
Oftentimes Christian people like to remove themselves from events of the world, calling them “worldly”, and indeed they are, yet calling events worldly does not negate the ungodly impact upon the world while standing for the truth of God.
We are all responsible for moving and abiding in Christ for others, in all our endeavors while standing against evil. It seems to me the so-called “ultra-right sites” is merely a reflection of just how far left the Country (and World) has drifted away from God’s righteousness.
This is specifically true on the internet, which ever-increasing calls evil good, and good evil: albeit for the love of money, power, and control!
Listen to doctors who make no financial or political gain in dealing with COVID-19. Their “proof is in the pudding” in saving numerous lives daily, who often other doctors won’t see for fear of being financially ruined – or even worse!Always remember, controlling information is power!
Produced by BREITBART NEWS; this video was live on July 21, 2020 NOTICE:This video has been taken down by Facebook now, with Twitter, YouTube now censoring it, to include removing Tweets by President Trump – it had 17 Million Views! The new website is now:https://americasfrontlinedoctorsummit.com ❎ Yet some browsers may claim it is a Dangerous Link.Still, other platforms say that these doctors don’t know what they are talking about!
It is a sad day when American doctors can no longer innovate treatments or even cures for disease – just like they have done for over 100 years: prior to the “Big Six” media controls. So, do you think this is politically motivated?You watch, you decide!
This is a screenshot of an email I received from Back to the Bible; it shows the true meaning of what the Apostle Paul was speaking about in “running the good race” for Christ.It is pure and simple, it reminds us that life is a challenge, and if we do not want to be disqualified, we will push forward in our faith to obtain the victory in every matter we might encounter!
Paul wrote this as an encouragement to the early church, it was not a threat based in fear of losing one’s Salvation. As this was written in love, in showing the great power available to all believers who will put their trust in Christ alone throughout their lives in faith. It was never intended to be used for a worrisome foreboding, in using guilt and fear, (which this text it is oftentimes manipulated the mean) – yet it does not!
The natural mind understands NOT the things of God…
The elect, providence, the cross, running the good race, saved from sin, eternal life, regeneration, sanctification, Holiness, redemption, leaven (puffed up) and the contexts of sound doctrine cannot be completely understood by the natural mind alone. Rather it is by “Faith Alone” through the atoning blood of Christ that we are made complete.
If we attempt to grasp our faith in Christ by intellect alone, we will become frustrated in discovering we have no power over sin! Yet, more often than not many believe they play apart in their redemption – and eternal security by works; and yet works without faith is dead!
It has been my experience that Salvation is in “quantum mechanics” or a Spiritual issue, (as it is conceived in the mind of God) and therefore has no beginning and no end, so it cannot be grasped through our natural understanding of the scriptures alone, but only by faith which also is spiritual and God inspired.
I believe Paul understood this, and is why he preached Christ, and Christ Crucified “alone” then instructed the brethren to move in faith beyond what is elementary.
Yet men still contend and are content to argue the essence of what Christ has already accomplished at Calvary! In my opinion, this is because men refuse to try and fathom the infinite love and mercy by grace our heavenly father has given to all who would believe on the only-begotten son of the living God, who suffered on a cross and given as a ransom for all who would put their faith in him.
Salvation seems to be a never-ending argument (like many others) in using men who founded many different “denominational” positions and beliefs’. Often the later imperfect founders are scrutinized for their brutality in pushing their beliefs on others, “and rightly so”. Yet this does not negate nor diminish the power of the Gospel in any way shape or form!
By FAITH, we are saved by GRACE, and not of ourselves, that any man may boast.
We are Bridesmaids and are to remain FAITHFUL, not out of fear but because of our love for Christ. Are they’re those who will be lost: absolutely – but not because of their human efforts, it is simply because they would not remain faithful to Christ – and Christ alone for salvation. This boils down to the heart, not dogma nor our personal failings, but rather our love for the Bridegroom. Which is all based in God inspired faith, not religious works of the flesh.
Is a tool of Satan in manipulating our emotions to carry a burden around that we need not be carrying. So, we seek relief by trying to atone for it! Yet the Bible teaches that we are only accountable for our own sins alone before the Lord, and that Christ shed his blood for the sinner that we might be set free! If we confess OUR SINS, he is faithful and just to forgive us, as we are redeemed by the atonement on the cross alone, and not of our own efforts!
Parables in the scriptures must always be read in contexts and the totality to other scripture, in relationship to the covenants – (the time we are now in).
Here are a couple examples…
Matthew 13: 1–9, 18–23 The parable of the sower of seed, is a growth parable for the actual believer ; just like in –
John 15 : 1-27 with particular examination of verse 6.
It is most interesting to me that the scriptures talk about a humble and contrite heart (faith of a child) being required to follow the Lord. In contrast to this, Pride and coupled with Elitism seems to me to be the way of controlling others – even as a small god. The “new world leader” will be revealed as a caring and loving sort towards humanity, but the Bible later speaks about an abrupt change of demeanor as one demanding to be worshipped as God: or face death! The first step in controlling people is to be able to track them, and that you cannot buy or sell without the “Mark of the Beast” (Satan). The Lord will crush him with the brightness of his coming, but in my estimation, we have to have a build up first towards global tracking and control – for the “Good” of all Humanity!
As one who was born under 48 stars in the American flag, I have watched the decline of a great nation ever since!
Powerful Leaders have conspired against free people since tribalism began in the world:Matthew 24:37-3937 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Humanism, (anti-Christian) anti-Bible, within our society with the opening of the “establishment clause” with the growing of the Atheist and Feminist movement of the 1960s was propelled forward by people like Madalyn Murray O’Hair in 1962, changed the policy of mandatory prayers and Bible reading in Baltimore public schools: the area in which I grew up.
This “new religion” of humanism. had slowly migrated into our school systems after World War Two, primarily because of a teacher’s shortage within the United States at the time. Politically and Militarily, we had defeated the NAZI’s, yet Communism became our new enemy, and nuclear weapons our newest concern with an arms race and Cold War, which morphed into a political space race, including the moon landing in 1969 as put forth by JFK prior to his assassination.
What was NOT foreseen after World War Two, was the acceptance of what is now called “Cultural Marxism” within education, broadcasting, and the many civil liberty groups which enviably grew from a time of great changes.
Ultimately (spoken as a believer in the Gospel), it is not really about the “Nation States” which the Lord preordained after Babel; known as (ethos Biblically) a makeup of a certain people, culture, ideology, religion, and a common language. Rather history is about what the Lord God allows or disallows to transpire, and the “new Globalism” via U.N. mandates is taking form.
The Decline of Western Nationalism
I first witnessed the decline of U.S. Patriotism around 1968 during the Vietnam war. My Dad had a shop which sold American flags, and the sales dropped dramatically after the Tet offensive, never to return – except briefly after the 9-11 attacks on the Twin Towers and Pentagon. My wife and I had nearly completed our 20 years of military service after the attacks, and were shocked like everyone else, that civilian airliners were used for such destruction and loss of American life.
We both continued to do our part in defense of this Nation; and after returning home from orders cut under Operation Enduring Freedom, just over a year later I would suffer a near fatal heart attack ending my military career as a technician.
I really hate to have to write this next paragraph, because as a loyal soldier, Christian and nationalist; I never wanted to believe it possible that a “New World Order” first spoken publicly by George Bush, seems to me to have reared its ugly head within multiple events in an effort in transforming the world – to the revealing of Satan, and his minions to an unbelieving world!
To me, this is tragic, and increasingly unbelievable to one who actively supports the U.S. Constitution, and who’s family fault in the American Revolution. Yet this is a time of strong delusions, and we all must look at what may make us uncomfortable in the pursuance of a greater truth.
Psychologists call this our “Confirmation Biases” and we all choose to believe what makes us most comfortable, be it our politics, faith, and even our health.
I never wanted to believe that 9-11 was anything but a terrorist attack; yet more and more evidence shows that steal frame buildings have never come down, nor specifically pancaked due to the result of fire. With some mechanical (marine) engineering skill sets, including fuel, some firefighting, and metal stress understanding it is increasingly difficult to believe the “official” physical evidence of towers coming down based solely as a result of commercial airliners horrifically shearing into the upper floors of “two” world trade centers and the complete pulverized results of a nearly freefalling collapse!
Yesterday I saw a mime with Adolph Hitler on it, it read if science were followed instead of Christianity, Hitler would have never come to power. This enraged me, and I wrote “NAZI Eugenics (science) caused Hitler to come to power, not Christianity fool!” The Nuremberg trials, and specifically the Doctors Trail of 22 NAZI doctors who were thought instrumental in establishing the Third Reich were based on this so called “science”.
In my view, when you invoke “humanistic science” (evolution) as supreme, instead of the laws of God (natural law) as supreme; you have just made the laws of man superior to an all knowing God, the creator and keeper of the universe. And both the NAZI’s and the Communists invoke this!
For the lack of a better term, I will call these people “Power Brokers”. Control of humanity is the ultimate goal. First must go individual liberties, which our founding fathers understood in depth! Then free speech, worship, the independent press, enterprise, property, water, food, energy resources and medicine. The staples of any free peoples. The “information age’ has enabled such a lofty goal, with now 24/7 programming continually pumped into the population, and I suspect monitoring of people will be next!
This leads me into another point, in taking away of individual liberties for the collective. And what better way to do it than in the name of science, health care: the supreme issue for the survival and health and wellbeing of all peoples!
Just like the NAZI’s championed Eugenics using “science”, todays Power Brokers globally, also attempt to use science to address the environment, population growth, energy, food, water, air, and even temperature! It is a one size fits all type of control of money and individuals.
As Madeline Albright once slipped up by saying; (Paraphrase) Christianity is the greatest single threat to our country – (read) progressive agenda. So, in my estimation, anything is allowed in pluralistic hedonism, apart from Christianity just like in ancient Rome! The reason is because belief in a higher power is unacceptable to all power brokers who are threatened by such a mindset!
Oh Lord, I hate to say it; but even this global pandemic involving COVID-19 which is very real, has brought down not only this nation, but most all nations globally. I would rather believe this was not planned – or invented yet this does not appear to be the case. And even if this was a naturally occurring phenomenon, why are drugs like Hydroxy Quarantine developed in 1955 for fighting microbes in drinking water so resisted and limited to U.S. doctors who feel it may be effective in certain patients?
I will leave the medical observations to more qualified people than myself; but just like the 9-11 attacks on the Twin Towers, this “Wuhan Virus” seems to me like more of a “Plandemic” by Global Power Brokers, pharmaceutical’s, and high tech, to gain control, rather than the “caring loving global community” which they pretend to be! And to hell with God’s appointed nation states says these Devil’s children!
Wishing everyone asolemn Memorial Day!
Matthew 24:6–76 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
My Utmost for His Highest, reads : Take the Initiative
…add to your faith virtue… 2 PETER 1:5
Add means that we have to do something. We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save nor sanctify ourselves— God does that. But God will not give us good habits or character, and He will not force us to walk correctly before Him. We have to do all that ourselves. We must “work out” our “own salvation” which God has worked in us (Philippians 2:12). Add means that we must get into the habit of doing things, and in the initial stages that is difficult. To take the initiative is to make a beginning— to instruct yourself in the way you must go.
Beware of the tendency to ask the way when you know it perfectly well. Take the initiative— stop hesitating— take the first step. Be determined to act immediately in faith on what God says to you when He speaks, and never reconsider or change your initial decisions. If you hesitate when God tells you to do something, you are being careless, spurning the grace in which you stand. Take the initiative yourself, make a decision of your will right now, and make it impossible to go back. Burn your bridges behind you, saying, “I will write that letter,” or “I will pay that debt”; and then do it! Make it irrevocable.
We have to get into the habit of carefully listening to God about everything, forming the habit of finding out what He says and heeding it. If, when a crisis comes, we instinctively turn to God, we will know that the habit has been formed in us. We have to take the initiative where we are, not where we have not yet been.
In my opinion therefore, it is wrong to “hide behind the Lord” when in fact we are being simply apathetic towards others; or when saying things like; it is wrong to love the world – instead of the Lord, when we are actually only loving ourselves! This is rather just a sanctimonious viewpoint of the soul, and ultimately the “grandest excuse” to be self-absorbed, apathetic, complacent, and dismissive of others!
With this type of narcissistic psychopathy (which can stem from a poor upbringing or parenting skills) one must “push in to overcome this emotional complacency” by moving outside one’s self in the service of others, rather than simply “ withdrawing in the Lord” (self-Sanctification) as an excuse from the idea of – actually engaging with others; which is oftentimes required to be effective to others, and our Lord when he direct us to be.
In short, our apathy towards others should never be painted as in simply following “Holiness”; when in fact Jesus never instructed anyone to become so socially withdrawn as to not engage with others. In fact, this type of behavior could be viewed as disobedience; when the Lord attempts to move in us – yet we will not be moved, and therefore is not in accordance with the scriptures, and is not how the Holy Spirit operates – but rather rooted in self instead.
The god of this world is coming, and already at work within our midst.
Constant media “suggestion” subverts the mind for easier control…
Anyway. that’s what my dream was all about, a prisoner in my own home!
When one sees themselves as alway in the right, the need to forgive and love others as yourself fades away, this is commonly referred to as legalism! Matthew 24:12 speaks to this, and why folks have no more use for others!
Understanding Spirituality in discipleship to Jesus Christ, will always be conducive to the Bible.
The functions of the Holy Spirit is rooted to the human spirit in conscience and intuition; whereas the soul is rooted to the emotions and intellect of the mind. Without a clear understanding of the scriptures, people often confuse “emotional intelligence” with the intuition of the Holy Spirit’s leadings as exemplified in the Bible. This is an “all to common mistake” made within the Christians development.
The Holy Spirit functions to show the believer just who the Lord is in Christ, by experience and personal revelations which are comparable to Jesus, Mathew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, and other early believers in the New Testament, who received the Holy Spirit on and after the day of Pentecost.
The Old Testament Saints are used in example to men’s hearts towards the Lord; if they be soft or hardened, while siting how obedience in faith was required in receiving the promises of the Lord.
David was an outstanding example of continued repentance of heart towards the Lord, and the infinite mercy shown to him.
The “Lamb of God” – Jesus Christ was the promised one (Messiah) first to the Jew, then to the Gentiles, who took away the sins of the world on a cross to all who would believe on him!
The law was given to Moses as an example of a school master – a measuring stick, to show how Holy the Lord God is, and how utterly hopeless humanity is in keeping even one aspect of the law within the hearts of men! As an example; this is why adultery was used by Jesus in explaining even if a man didn’t engage in the physical act (like under the law of Moses) the human heart is still corrupted by sin, and even our thought life needs forgiveness!
Anyone who believes that apart from Christ, they can conform or perform to the Spirituality required to commune with the Father, has completely misunderstood the scriptural texts as to who Christ is, and the utter depravity of humanity!
The bottom line is that it is impossible to move in Holiness apart from the Spiritual connection to the Holy Spirit as for the atonement of Christ, and nothing less!
Paul said in Hebrew 6:1 “Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,”
Paul understood that the atonement of Christ has already been made complete in Christ for the believer by faith, which is the “Doctrine of Christ”. It is imperative for our understanding and growth that we grasp this doctrine fully.
He is speaking of the total depravity of man, and the tremendous cost paid for our sinful souls by Christ on the cross!
Without a complete understanding of this “sound” doctrine, we could end up like a bunch of Monks once did, while attempting to continually move in Holiness within in the dark ages from 5th–15th century – prior to the reformation! Legalism is always the result from the Scribes of old to the present age, if our minds cannot grasp the infinite grace and mercy shown to us by the completed work of Christ on the cross!
It is ironic how sound Biblical teachings of who Christ is to the believer spiritually, can be twisted by the mind and soul into a convoluted understanding of the New Testament Gospel as being soulish rather than spiritual, when confusing the emotional intelligence of the soul with the actual spiritual life, which once and for all was provided and completed for us in Christ Jesus.
One thing which I can testify to is that my life is not my own since coming to the Lord! Providentially, although I attempted to plan for my life, it is the Lord who allowed or disallowed how I attempted to move forward. A major example of this is how I tried to go to sea with the Merchant Marine after my time in the Coast Guard.
My application continually became ensnared within the hiring administration of the Military Sealift Command again and again, till I finally gave up and moved in the direction of obtaining a job as a Marine Machinery technician aboard Army watercraft instead. One of the reasons for this is that I would meet my future wife (who I had prayed for 20 years) and direct her towards Christ for her salvation.
It was not me who chose any of my life’s course, but rather Christ within me, and in whom the Father offered me my bride in 1997. Yet only after a years’ worth of confirmations (almost daily) to my soul of what the Lord had indeed orchestrated. It was the most transformative time in all my Christian walk!
I can still remember where I was standing on the day the Lord spoke to my heart proclaiming that “my life was in his hands”! What a joyous “Spirit filled moment” that was for my soul; and is one which has proven itself again and again even to the point of my own death, and afterwards when being accused of loving the world more than the Lord, by some poor doctrinally confused brethren.
The main thrust of my point is; that understanding sound doctrine is imperative to ones emotional and spiritual health, even when the Lord has moved from within you by his spirit in giving significant understanding to our souls of just who we are, and the grace given to us freely in Christ by Grace, and not of our own merit!
Missionary Evangelist Robert Breaker talks about the things the world will lose in the last days according to the Bible. NOTE: I erroneously said that there were 250,000 killed world-wide by the CoronaVirus. That figure was a little high. As of 4/23/2020 the actual figure was: 190,788. So, I wanted to make sure I gave the actual figure as of the date I posted this video.
Poor Bible understanding of Isaiah and other scriptures create such fervent and even desperation in proving oneself worthy! Yet Christ is the only justification; for all to come to a saving faith in him. When Israel rejected Christ, then the Gospel went out to the Gentiles for salvation for those who put their faith in him. (Matthew 7:13-14).
Remnant
Romans 9:27–28 (ESV): 27 And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, 28 for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.”
Romans 11 – * referencing Isaiah
That Israel has not been forever set aside is the theme of this chapter.
(1) The salvation of Paul proves that there is still a remnant ( Romans 11:1 )
(2) The doctrine of the remnant proves it ( Romans 11:2-6 ).
(3) The present national unbelief was foreseen ( Romans 11:7-10 ).
(4) Israel’s unbelief is the Gentile opportunity ( Romans 11:11-25 ).
(5) Israel is judicially broken off from the good olive tree, Christ ( Romans 11:17-22 ).
(6) They are to be grafted in again ( Romans 11:23 Romans 11:24 ).
(7) The promised Deliverer will come out of Zion and the nation will be saved ( Romans 11:25-29 ). That the Christian now inherits the distinctive Jewish promises is not taught in Scripture. The Christian is of the heavenly seed of Abraham ; Genesis 15:5 Genesis 15:6 ; Galatians 3:29 and partakes of the spiritual blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant.
The Righteous Live by FAITH – Not by sight. In other words, what you believe does not affect the indwelling work of the Holy Spirit within you. Remember, we are God’s work, and not our own, once we have been sealed for the day of redemption!
