Touch Not The Anointed Ones Of God!

Touch Not Mine Anointed

Speaking of Israel 

By Francis Fawkes, Th.D.

Many have heard the scriptural quote: “Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm (Psalm 105:15).  Let us consider it in the context in which is originally given.  “God permitted no one to do Israel wrong; yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes, Saying, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.”  Notice in this Scripture that God protected His anointed (who was Israel), and His prophets from the enemies of Israel to bring physical harm.”

(http://www.letusreason.org/Pent47.htm).  Throughout history, many nations have allowed themselves to be used by Satan as unwitting pawns in the battle for the extinction of the Jews.  Instead of the Jews being wiped off the face of the earth, their enemies have ceased to exist as viable civilizations - just the way Satan planned it.

Jerusalem has been under siege many times throughout the ages.  These offending nations, however, fell prey to a curse.  They did not know that God had promised both Abraham and his grandson Jacob that: "...I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curseth thee...” (Genesis 12: 3).  Another reference to this is found in Genesis 27: 29.

Many surmise that the Jews court persecution because the enemy is jealous of their phenomenal accomplishments.  This is only a superficial observation.  The real reason for this is that God has used them to weave history and to bless the world.  Satan, therefore, is trying to destroy them in order to offset God's plan for humanity.

Egypt is an example of a great nation that fell prey to a curse.  The ancient pharaohs made slaves of the Israelites and drowned their young ones.  However, the law of reciprocity (the sow-reap principle) took effect when the Egyptian army itself died a drowning death in the Red Sea.

Archaeologists, as I have mentioned previously in an article, have confirmed this when they discovered many coral encrusted chariots with their wheels detached.  Also found were parts of skeletons of the men and horses all preserved by the coral covering them.  These were all found in a wonderful state of preservation buried under the Red Sea.

There is also extra-biblical evidence in writing confirming this spectacular event.  They exist in the form of rock inscriptions.  These are eyewitness accounts of this event given in detail and they confirm everything that the Bible says.

Another great nation that fell prey to the curse was Spain.  In 1492, Queen Isabella forced the Jews to convert or to be expelled.  This caused a flight of Jews from Spain.  This country consequently stepped into the graveyard of history.

When Hitler exterminated 6,000,000 Jews, he met his own untimely demise.  Today, because of the Nazi atrocities, the birthrate in Germany has fallen considerably.

Great Britain was another nation that suffered a dire fate when it touched the chosen people.  Britain was at one time the greatest empire that ever existed – even bigger than Greece or Rome.  This country, however, sealed its fate during World War II when it captured the Jews who had gone to Israel to escape Hitler and the Nazi death camps, and sent them back to Europe to die.  Shortly after this, the empire began to disintegrate as one country after the other began to pull out from underneath her.  Today, Britain is a second rate nation.

Again, the Russian madman, Joseph Stalin also had plans to exterminate Russian Jewry.  He attempted to begin with the execution of 6 Jewish doctors.  Before his diabolical plan could take effect, he died of a stroke.  Weeks later, these doctors were released.

George Bush Sr. initiated the plan of exchanging land for peace.  Using the might of the United States, Bush forced Israel into exchanging land for peace with the Palestinians.  But God told Israel that once they settle on their land they would never be dispersed or uprooted again (Amos 9: 15).

The United States also challenged God’s word when President Clinton continued in the error of his predecessor by making Jerusalem negotiable.  Today’s President Bush Jr. is continuing in the footsteps of his father.  The results are that all three Presidents have had devastating experiences.

In his book “Israel: The Blessing or the Curse”, John McTernan talks about this.  From November 1991, starting with President Bush Sr., there have been dire warning signs.  America and the world have experienced violent storms such as Hurricanes Andrew, Emily and Katrina; earthquakes, tornadoes, stock market crashes, devaluation of currencies, forest fires and the Clinton Scandal in the White House.  All of these events coincided with pivotal dates that the U.S. Presidents were involved in the land for peace deals between the Palestinians and the Israelis.

What about the sabotage of the Twin Towers and the Pentagon buildings In New York on 11 September, 2001?  It has been discovered that on 10 September, President Bush along with Colin Powell decided to put into effect the biggest land for peace deal in the whole process.  They were stopped when the terrorist attack occurred on 11 September.  Thus their whole attention was averted to dealing with this crisis.  Israel after all does not have to give away their birthright for a false sense of peace.

THE HURRICANE KATRINA / THE ISRAELI CONNECTION

 

There are possibilities that could explain why God allowed Hurricane Katrina to devastate the United States, specifically New Orleans where there were about 9000 deaths.  This was a catastrophe of biblical proportions.

It is a known fact that the past American presidents beginning with President Nixon were in favour of land for peace negotiations concerning the nation of Israel and Palestine.  Other Presidents that were in favour of this stance were Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, and Bush Jr.  It is important that president Barack Obama maintains his stance.  There are possibilities that could explain why God allowed Hurricane Katrina to devastate the United States, specifically New Orleans where there were about 9000 deaths.  This was a catastrophe of biblical proportions.

Before Hurricane Katrina occurred, President George Bush and President Ariel Sharon had a five minute conversation that they were “partners in peace.”  This is a series of events that precipitated Hurricane Katrina:

1. On Monday 22 August, 2005   the last Jewish settlement in Gaza was evacuated – wrapping up Israel’s historic pullout.  It was the largest pullout of Jewish occupants in the history of Israel.

2.  The next day, on 23 August, 2005  after the Jews were put  out of their land which is the Gaza Strip and the West bank, the government of The Bahamas issued a tropical storm warning for the Central and Northern Bahamas.

3.  By 24 August, 2005 it became a tropical storm

4.  On 25 August, 2005 it became a hurricane

5.  Why did this hurricane hit New Orleans?

 

The city of New Orleans was also renowned for its occult practices, particularly voodoo.  I have heard from friends and co-workers of mine who frequent this country on cultural exploits, that New Orleans is ridden with witchcraft.

I have also heard it said that it is the Sodom and Gomorrah of the United States.  Perversion abounds much like California.  Southern decadence is the name of the Festival that they have there for perverts.  The previous year 125,000 revelers came to visit it.  The shocking event was supposed to occur on 31 August, 2005.  However, it was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina before anything should take place and everybody was told to evacuate.

ISRAEL AS AN EVERLASTING COVENANT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE

“AND I WILL GIVE UNTO THEE, UNTO THY SEED AFTER THEE, AND THE LAND WHEREIN THOU ART A SOJOURNER,  ALL THE LAND OF CANAAN, FOR AN EVERLASTING POSSESSION;  AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD” (GENESIS 17: 8).

Far back in 19 September, 1993 - when President Clinton was in office, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat entered into an agreement that Israeli troops from six major towns in the West Bank would be withdrawn.  The land would be turned over to the Palestinians, after 28 years of Jewish occupation.  Although he was a Nobel Peace prize winner, he was shot on 4 November, 1995 - and died later on because of a massive blood loss.  It is said that Yitzhak Rabin was an atheist and did not understand the dire implications of the covenant made between God and Abraham.

Later on, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who was a humanist, expelled 9,480 Jewish settlers from 21 settlements in Gaza, and 4 other settlements in the Northern West Bank from the 16 to 30 August, 2005.  Between the soldiers and the Palestinians, every building including the synagogues was destroyed.  On December 18, 2005 - President Sharon had to be hospitalized because of a stroke.  Another one followed on January 4, 2005.  He is now in a coma with extremely low chances of recovery.  Remember, just before hurricane Katrina started, President Bush Jr., and President Ariel Sharon entered into an Israeli land for peace deal.

SALVATION FOR ALL

The Arab Palestinians do not have the right to ownership of the land that God promised the Jews.  Even though the Jews were expelled from Israel in 70 A.D., there has always been a remnant there for 2000 years.  They, therefore - have both a legal and divine right to the land of Israel.  Even in the Koran, it is stated that God urged the Jews to go into the land of Israel and not turn back, lest they be losers (Surah 5: 20- 21).

At present, there exists a dilemma in the Middle East.  Surely the other Muslim nations surrounding the Palestinians can absorb them for they have a land mass more than double that of America - but they refuse.  We, however, must realize that you cannot throw them away for there are many Palestinian Christians.  Again, these are the children of Ishmael who have Abraham as a father.  God blessed Ishmael and promised to make him a great nation, but said that the covenant was with Isaac (Genesis 17: 20-21).

We must continue to pray for the salvation of both Palestinians and Jews in the Middle East for it is God’s intention that even Palestinians should have a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3: 9).  As Christians pray, many Muslims are having visitations of Jesus in dreams and visions.  They see the nail imprints in his hands and fingers and are being converted.  The most recent report among them is, “have you seen the man in white.”

It is not as difficult to convert Muslims to Christ as most people think.  After all, the Koran states that Jesus was without sin and that he performed many miracles.  Although the Bible and the Koran are diametrically opposed regarding matters of essential doctrine, there is some truth in the Koran.  Knowledgeable and skillful Christians have used the Koran to convert Muslims to Christ.

Muslims must realize that Jesus is the only way to God and that He is the express image of the Father.  It is only through a dependency on Christ that the Middle East problem can be solved.  So let us continue to pray for their salvation and remember also to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

The Doctrine Of The Trinity

The Doctrine Of The Trinity Proven

By Francis Fawkes, Th.D.

Some critics and theologians have claimed that the Doctrine of the Trinity was unknown before the Council of Nicene in A.D. 325.  They claimed that the Council came up unanimously with this doctrine.

However, Justin Martyr in 150 A.D. declared with great clarity the doctrine of the Trinity was valid.  He and the early church fathers wrote that it was Jesus Christ who appeared to Moses in the burning bush.

Even further back than this, the Doctrine of the Trinity was recognized by the great Jewish rabbis.  The Jews of the first century believed that Jesus was God.  However, most Jews in later centuries rejected that claim.  But in a book called the Zohar written by Rabbi Simon Ben Jochai and his son, the doctrine of the original sin and the incarnation of Christ are expounded.

The Doctrine of the Trinity is also explicitly stated in Genesis 1:1 which says, "In the beginning God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth."  In this passage "Elohim" literally means "Gods." - with "im" indicating masculine plural in Hebrew.  But this plural noun is treated like a singular noun because it takes a singular verb.  That verb is "bara" which means created out of nothing.  The plural "Elohim" has always been taken by the great rabbis of the first century to include God the Father; God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.  All three persons are one.  As a matter of fact the word "Trinity" comes from the Latin word "trinitas" or "trinitus" which means three in one!

There are also several scriptural passages that make it clear that Jesus is not subordinate to the Father, but co-eternal and co-equal and one with the Father.  In John1:1, it states that, "In the beginning was the word (logos) and the word was with God, and the Word was God."  Later on in verse 14, it states that: "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us..."  This Word (logos) was Jesus.

In Philippians 2:6, it says of Jesus: “Who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be equal with God."  Further on in verse 7, Paul states that: "He made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and made in the likeness of men."  God then took on human flesh and was incarnated as Jesus.

In scripture, the disciple Philip asked Jesus in John 14:8, 9 to show him God.  Jesus replied to him that, "he that has seen me has seen the Father."

Finally, there is indisputable evidence for the Trinity in 1 John 5: 7 which reads:” for there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (logos) and the Holy Spirit; these three are one."  In verse 14, the word (Jesus) became one.

Empirical evidence for the Trinity was given to the authoress Dr. Petti Wagner, who in her book "Murdered Heiress" literally describes the Trinity when God spoke to her as a ball of light and said let me show you who we are.  He then split into three separate orbs which formed a triangle.  God was the top sphere of light; Jesus was on his right and the Holy Spirit was on his left.  All three spheres spoke as one.  Each member of the Trinity was identifiable by his distinctive voice.

Another book, "Heaven - Third Encounters of a God Kind" by Jesse Duplantis, describes the authors visit to the throne room where he saw God.  He could not look Him in the face because no man can look at God and literally live.  However, he realized that Jesus came out of God to speak to the people in the throne room.  He noticed that Jesus was the only person that was able to look at God and live.

God’s Israel

ISRAEL – ‘THE APPLE OF GOD’S EYE’

By Francis Fawkes, Th.D.

The Jews are definitely God’s chosen people.  Just as God has chosen a people unto Himself, He has also chosen a land for them in which to dwell in perpetuity.  God himself measured the dimensions of this land over 3000 years ago (Joshua 1: 3-4).  God is therefore a Zionist.

We can certainly depend on the Bible in authenticating the identity of the Jews as the chosen ones.  It is the most accurate book of all antiquity.  Of the 27 scriptural texts of the other world’s religions, there is a great deal more documentary evidence confirming the historical and textual reliability of the Bible.

Also, those clever Jewish scribes took great care to foolproof the Bible for all posterity.  They knew that with time comes distortion.  Therefore, they counted every word and every letter on every page.  If the count was incorrect on re-examination, the inaccurate page was torn up and the scribe started the process of writing again.  So scrupulous were they in their pursuit for perfection, we know that there are 304,805 letters in the book of Genesis.  There is also a count of the number of vowels and consonants in each book that they copied.

In getting back to the subject, the Bible states that the Lord “…chose Jacob unto Himself and Israel for a peculiar treasure” (Psalm 135: 4).  Most of all, God avowed to make the Jewish people “…high above all nations whom He hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour…” (Deuteronomy 26: 19).

The Jews above all, were chosen to spread God’s light throughout the planet.  They are the conduits through which the salvation of Jesus Christ was made available to humanity.  In both the spiritual and the secular spheres, they have been overachievers.  This is a fulfillment of the prophecy that all the nations of the earth shall be blessed by Israel (Genesis 18: 18).

THROUGH THE JEW ALL THE WORLD IS BLESSED

Christianity came to us through the Jew.  From the Judeo-Christian ethic came the great technological innovations and cultural developments as we know them today.  It is an established fact that Bible believing creationists founded every branch of science.

The Gentile nations also profited from the Christian perspective.  The people responsible for our technological innovations began life as barbarians.  The Vikings, the other Germanic tribes – including the Goths, Franks and the Saxons were a menace to the European coast.  They destroyed everything in their path as a sacrifice to their demonic gods of war.

When the Bible permeated their culture, they became civilized and today you find among them the Scandinavian peoples, the British and the Americans.  Since these people honoured the word of God in their culture, it is observed that a great number of the Nobel Prizes in Science and Technology go to them.  It is further noticed that all other countries in the Bible belt that adopt the Judeo-Christian ethic begin to prosper materially, intellectually and spiritually as well.

A modern day nation that has arisen from poverty and illiteracy is Norway.  After a farm boy introduced the Bible into this culture, the Norwegians immediately began to notice the difference.  Today, they are the most prosperous nation in the world per capita.

In South Korea, the same thing happened.  After the gospel was allowed to flourish, this country became the 12^th richest nation in the world in 25 years.

Just as these blessings have followed the genetic offspring of Abraham, they have followed his spiritual descendants – the gentiles.  As the people of African ancestry obey the call to carry God’s light throughout the world, God likewise, will prosper them in the different spheres of human endeavour.  “In the last days, Ethiopia shall stretch forth her wings” - (Psalm 68: 31).

THE JEWISH INTELLECT - THE RESULT OF A GENERATIONAL

BLESSING

Many have marveled at the phenomenal accomplishments of the Jewish people in almost every sphere of human endeavour.  The ordinary man attributes this to intellect.  Psychologists search for a genetic or environmental basis for their high IQ (Intelligence Quotient) ratings.

However, this is part and parcel of the generational blessings coming down from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  If the Ashkenazi Jews (those of Polish, Russian and German ancestry) are found to score 10 to 15 points higher on IQ tests than the surrounding populations, it is not by their own resourcefulness.  It is by the Spirit of God.  The Creator has equipped them to be a blessing to all nations as He has prophesied.  When God calls for something, he provides for it.

Other speculators would suggest that the Jews have bred eugenically over the years, when the sons of scholars married the daughters of the merchant class, thus producing the survival of the fittest intellectually.  Their intellect has led them, as some to contend, to withstand persecution.  However, other great nations before them have disappeared from the earth with much less persecution.  There is a supernatural component to the survival of the Jew.

Even their enemies have acknowledged their ability to innovate and their intellectual prowess.  It is a known fact, that one in five of all Nobel laureates have been Jewish - even though they are 1/24 of 1 percent of the world’s population.  Other interesting observations are 1/3 of the faculty at Harvard Medical School is Jewish, and also 1/3 of Nobel Prize winners in medicine are also Jewish.

In the arts, they are the world’s most formidable performers.  It is conceded by some that the Jewish born Felix Mendelssohn was a greater musical prodigy that Mozart.  Mendelssohn was a walking musical library at 12.  With total recall, he could produce any classical piano work on demand.

Today, Jewish concert pianists and concert violinists are the personification of their art.  They are icons in the performance world without equal.  The Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra, called the aristocrat of orchestras, consists of all former first chair players from all over the world.

BEWARE OF INTELLECTUAL IDOLATRY

Since the dawn of history, 800 civilizations perished when they violated God’s universal principles of morality.  These civilizations became worn down not necessarily because of a lack of intellectual insight, creativity or scientific innovations.  They fell because of a lack of revealed knowledge through the oracles of God.  In Proverbs 29:18, it states that “where there is no vision, the people perish.”  People generally interpret this to mean man- based vision.  However, man’s vision is flawed and sometimes he and his vision perish.  Vision in this context is the Hebrew word for revelation.  God’s ideal modus operandi for humankind is to function through the intellect and a combination of intuition (or revealed knowledge) coming from the Holy Spirit.  When there is a high level of revelation knowledge, a nation will begin to experience real and sustained prosperity.
