CHAPTER 9

SUMMARY

 

Summarising what has been presented above in terms of the premise, "The history of modern nations is largely determined by the conflict of interests between the descendants of Isaac’s twin sons’ Jacob and Esau":

 

1. ISRAEL AND THE DAVIDIC THRONE

The two birthright tribes that descended from Jacob, i.e. Ephraim and Manasseh, have been identified as modern-day Great Britain together with her offshoots, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and the United States of America respectively. The great bulk of Jacob’s progeny new reside in these countries, yet they have no knowledge of their origins nor of their God-given destiny. Again it must be stressed that modern Jewry, even though they have assumed the name of Israel for the occupied territory in Palestine, have no part in Israel.

Firmly established within the social fabric of the British nation is the throne and dynasty of King David of ancient Israel. This seat of kingly authority is, or course, the prime target of socialist revolutionaries and their fellow travellers, yet it bears God’s personal guarantee that it will remain where it now is until the Lord Jesus Christ returns, and rules over the whole earth.

Although the God of Israel has blessed and miraculously protected these peoples for more than 3000 years according to all that He promised Abraham, yet have they continuously disregarded this special relationship and followed after the ways of the non-covenant nations about them to their own disadvantage. A comparison of the current moral standards and social attitudes of the societies of these Israel nations with the objectives of the Communist Party in the U.S.A. listed previously will demonstrate just how far Esau has succeeded in enticing Jacob away from God. These people are indeed fortunate in that God is not capricious: "For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed" (Malachi 3:6).

 

2. CHURCH

In some ways even disreputable behaviour has been exhibited by God’s Holy Spirit Church, the Spiritual component of Israel. Instead of there being one Spirit-filled Church in which God continually presences Himself, there now exist a thousand powerless, self-nominated "Christian" churches which openly reject God’s inspired Word, the Bible. The Holy Spirit is not to be found in these organisations nor is the Lord God of Israel seen to be confirming His Word (promises) with signs, wonders and mighty miracles which identified His true Church (read the Book of The Acts of the Apostles). Because of blatant compromise, political activities and changeable doctrines, these "churches" cause the Name of God to be ridiculed (i.e. blasphemed) by many.

Yet even in this morass of apostasy, God, as prophesied, has preserved a remnant where the door into His Presence remains open, His Word is held to be the absolute truth and the honour and authority of Him and His Son’s Name are held aloft in all purity and power, unsullied by the perverseness and degradation of the natural wisdom of unspiritual religionists (Revelation 3:7-13 and 2 Timothy 3 1-7). Any person who earnestly seeks the salvation of God that was made available by Jesus’ death, resurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit can rest assured that the Creator of all things will arrange matters so that he/she will find this true Israel of God (John 6:37, 10:27-28).

 

3. ESAU

Esau’s seed has been identified as the dominant section of modern Jewry to the detriment of the minority who can truly claim Israelitish ancestry. This godless and materialistic group is now organising its world-wide resources for what will be Esau’s last bid to destroy his brother, bring down the Davidic throne, usurp the birthright and so, he thinks, remove all obstacles to his domination of the whole earth. Because of his materialistic (atheistic) concepts, modern "Esau" does not, indeed, cannot realise that his conflict is not with natural men, but with a supernatural God.

At the level of natural reason, Esau’s victory seems certain. The peace of the world is now  destabilised with many wars in progress, thereby increasing poverty and suffering; tools used so effectively by revolutionaries to hoodwink the multitudes into voluntarily accepting an iron slavery. Many of the world’s less "developed" nations have been brought to the verge of financial catastrophe by the cruel and rapacious monetary policies of those (including Idumean Jews) who control the international finance of our world. The Israel nations, in defiance of God’s laws, have adopted immoral and deviant practices, which have already, and will continue to weaken them so that they will be unable to withstand either ideological or military warfare. If it were not for the unchangeable purposes of Almighty God, Israel’s days, historically speaking, would again be drawing to a close.

 

 

EPILOGUE

It is now some 6000 years since the Lord God placed His "7th day" Adam in Eden and human history began. Mankind now finds itself on an over-populated and dying world where suffering, violence, famine and war are rampant. A terrifying plague, AIDS, has recently appeared and is presently marching unchecked around the world despite the best efforts of research to stem this plague. "Where", the reader may well ask, "do God’s promises fit in now, when all human life could well be in jeopardy?" Inasmuch as God has said, "Surely the LORD God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets"  (Amos 3:7), He might well have been expected to have thrown some light on this matter, He has! Shortly before His death, Jesus briefly outlined events that would occur prior to His return:

1. Political systems will be in a ferment and nations will find themselves in predicaments to which they will find no real and lasting solutions (Luke 21:25).

2. There will be wars and rumours of wars (Matthew 24:6).

3. There will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in many places (Matthew 24:7).

4. Great darkness will come upon the earth such that the moon and the stars will not be visible (Matthew 24:29, Acts 2:19-20, Isaiah 13:9-11).

5. Very soon after the darkness covers the earth ("And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s (i.e. Spirit-Filled) sake those days shall be shortened" (Matthew 24:22)) the Lord Jesus Christ will return and set up His world-wide kingdom. All Spirit-filled men and women who have maintained the ways of God in their lives will be resurrected and changed into immortal beings (Matthew 24:30-31, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18,  1 Corinthians 15:50-58). Other sections of God’s Word giver further information on these age-ending events:

6. Satan will be put out of action for thousand years (i.e. the Millennium) and the resurrected saints will be instrumental in the restoration of Israel, whatever amazing concepts that entails, and teach their children the ways of God (Revelation 20:1-4, Matthew 19:28, Hosea 6:1-2).

7. During the millennium, Jesus will rule over Israel on the throne of David as absolute monarch. Throughout this time, there will be no war, immorality, dishonesty or any other evil; like it or not all citizens of Jesus’ realm will live according to God’s laws or take the consequences laid down in them (Revelation 19:11-16, Luke 1:30-33, Isaiah 9:6-7).

8. At the end of this thousand year "day", Satan will be loosed for a season to test the sincerity of the nations in keeping the ways of God.

9. Satan will then be cast into the symbolic "lake of fire" and every person that ever lived (apart from those already resurrected at Jesus’ return) will stand before the throne of God Almighty to be judged. Every thought, every word and every deed that constituted each individual’s life will be revealed and compared with God’s specified requirements as detailed in His Bible. If in God’s eyes His conditions are satisfied, then that individual will be accepted, otherwise he/she will be subjected to the symbolic "lake of fire" (Revelation 20:10-15).

10. Those counted worthy will then have continuous access to the Lord God Almighty and the New Jerusalem.

Such is God’s plan, and in spite of the appalling performance of Adam’s seed, God is right on time and His purpose will be completely fulfilled according to His will. The only choice now open to any individual in this day and age is either to continue in Adam’s sin and die, or accept God’s alternative and live.

 

GOD’S PLAN FOR THE INDIVIDUAL

1. Repent, i.e. turn away from one’s own concepts and do what God says without question.

2. Be baptised by immersion in water in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins;

3. Receive the Holy Spirit with the biblical sign of speaking in tongues (1 Corinthians 15:21-22, Romans 3:23, Acts 2:38-39, John 3:5-8).

 

The Word of God states that, "Now is the day of salvation" (2 Corinthians 6:2); truly this is a matter of life or death.
