The rest were blotted out, or raptured, if you will. The rapture concept, came out of the Council of Nicea, along with man's idea of being better than God, and creating his own appointed times, and combining them with peagan worship. Christmas and Easter are classic examples. There will be no rapture. When the rapture does not happen, many of those that love God; are going to need, comfort and encouragement. These people have been deceived, by the Church and its doctrines. When the tribulation begins, they will know the truth.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-2829203606182555145?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-73350356380690461512009-04-16T18:36:00.002-06:002009-04-16T18:44:24.911-06:00A lot has happened since my last blog.

Bush meets with Mexico and Canada, about no borders. The Lisbon Treaty is being ratified. How many of you out there know about the Lisbon Treaty or what it is? Basically it is about bringing us all under globilization. The World's religious leaders are uniting to bring about a global religion. Not designed with Jews or believers in Jesus, in mind. Their is a man who can be linked to every world leader. Most Americans, have never even heard his name, and most of our mainsteam media never talk about him, why?! All believers in Jesus (Yashua), and all Jews need to look to their maker and make peace with Him.NOW! Your lives are about to change, thanks to what's flying under the radar, while we are being distracted. The anti-christ and the false prophet are about to be revealed. The creation is moaning and longing for the return of its creator. The Messiah is coming, and for many He is coming again. Are you ready for Him, or are you falling for the distraction? What is coming at us under the Radar?<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-7851861925302310756?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-54361352127905247382007-08-06T06:03:00.000-06:002007-08-06T07:39:18.363-06:00Just as Abram was called out of the pagan Haran; so also are we, the believers, being called out of the whore churches. The Mother of Whores and the daughters of the Whore church, are about to be judged. And unless we are out of her, we also will be judged. This means giving back to the pagans, that which is theirs. Give Christmas back to the pagans, if you want to celebrate the birth of Jesus, do so at the time of Succot or the Feast of Tabernacles, since He came then to Tabernacle with us. Give Easter back to the pagans, that is their celebration time for fertility. We can celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus, at the Passover celebration; since that was the time He was destined for, before the beginning of our creation. Halloween should never have even entered the life of the believer. Give Sunday back to the pagans, since it is their sun worship day. Let's turn back to the Sabbath or Shabbat, which was and still is God's appointed time for us.<br /> The church was led astray during the Constantine era and has been in Apostasy ever since. She separated herself from that which, was her beginning. She left her roots behind and began following after other gods; the same as the tribes of Israel did before her. Now she, the church, thinks she has replaced Israel as the bride. She has not. Israel still remains the Bride. The church can only be a part of the bride through the grafting into the root. She must become Echad, or one, with the Whole house of Israel. The church must go back to her roots and repent of her wicked ways. She must turn herself around now, judgement is about to take place. A great shaking is taking place within the church, and all that can be shaken, will be shaken.<br /> Judah, or the Jews, are not exempt from the shaking that is taking place. Just as in the time of Yeshua, the Jews are being deceived into believing that Yeshua is not their Messiah; they are about to have the scales removed from their eyes, as the evil around them, looms ever larger and ominous. The hearts and minds of her enemies seek the destruction of all Jews; as well as all those, who do not conform to their idiology. God will not allow the destruction of the Jewish people, nor the destruction of His land Israel. He, God, is allowing the enemies of Israel to gather together; in fact He is the force behind those who think they are in power. As in the days of Assyria and Babylon, God is in control. God is bringing about this immanent destruction of Israel. When Israel is brought to the brink of destruction, to the place where she has no other option left; but to call upon the Name of the Lord, then the whole world will know that He (Yeshua), is the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, when He delivers her from her enemies. He is calling for us; Jew and Gentile, Judah and Israel, come out of the Apostasy. "Come out of her, my people" says the Lord. The Synagogue, is as guilty of whoring against God as the Church; by putting all your manmade laws with the laws of God, in fact making the laws of man of more importance than the laws of God. You have used the Torah as a whipping stick, and all who do not conform are put away or put out. The Talmud for all the good that it contains is still the works of man. You! Oh, Judah are being called out of Her. Called out of Babylon.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-5436135212790524738?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-35841315783856060902007-06-10T08:30:00.000-06:002007-06-10T08:31:52.159-06:00The Dawning of A New and Dreadful Day <br />Category: Religion and Philosophy <br /><br /><br /> There is a dark evil, moving across our nation, like the aliens in the movie Independence Day. Only this evil is Global in scope. Technology has asdvanced enough, to the point where, manipulation, is occuring. You think you are in control, but you are not. Wake up people, we are entering a new era in the life and times of America. Call it what you want, but it is THE SATAN, trying to get in last licks, before, God's Judgement falls upon him. REPENT for the Kingdom of God is at hand. America, the whore, the Babylon; will be judged according to her wickedness. Come out of her my people. This is the call of God the Father, the creator of us all. Unless you separate yourselves, My people, from the paegan practices of our so called churches and separate from the Politics of this Government, you will be judged along with Her. This government is not interested in your safety and well-being. Whether democrat, or republican, or libertarian, or communist, or muslim, or nazi, or socialist; these people do not care about your well being. All they care about is wealth and power; and will use, and are using people, to get what they want. Has nothing to with, love, caring, or mercy. Look around you folks, you are being led like sheep to the slaughter. We in America; are about to experience, our own holocaust. A greater holocaust, than that of abortion. Even much of the Church is being duped and deceived, into its own destruction. The Church needs to wake up, repent and turn from her wicked ways.<br /><br /> I know I'm a very small voice, but if we all who listen to the voice of God, begin lifting our voice, we can be heard; we will be heard. We are on the verge of a new and dreadfull dawn. We can't stop what is about to happen, but we can reach those who will listen, and snatch them, out of the claws of Satan. Even in our deaths; we can still stand and proclaim the Glory of our God. There is but one way, and one way only; to Our Father, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. That is through the Son. Jesus, Yahshuah, is the Messiah spoken of by the prophets of old. Only in the Name of Yahshuah(Jesus) can we enter into the Holy of Holies; into the Presence of God. We are entering a new and dreadful day, I will not enter it, without the assurance, that my salvation is complete; and I know it is, in Yashuah(Jesus). Anything less isn't good enough. Islam can't save you, the Dali Lama can't save you, Budda can't save you, Alla can't save you, Judaism can't save you, Christianity can't save you; only Yahshuah(Jesus) can save you. Not from death but; from Eternal Damnation. It's your choice alone!<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-3584131578385606090?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-36672421883492100442007-05-15T10:29:00.000-06:002007-05-15T10:30:29.854-06:00Pondering Hope<br /> In this modern world we are living in; there seems to be a decline. The war we are engaged in, lends itself to this decline. Our major media outlets, thrive on the sensationalism, generated by this decline. Politcians are certainly playing their part to ensure, this decline. This decline is responsible for a voting public that can be manipulated. Special interest groups are swaying politics, public opinion, and making our culture something to be feared and despised. Even in the global arena, there is a decline in this very important ingredient, towards peace and prosperity. What is this that is declining? It is hope. Without hope, there is no desire to keep going. The shooter at V. Tech, probably at some point, lost his hope. You can explain it away as someone evil, insane perhaps; but I’ll bet, loss of hope, was the real culprit. The man who killed those young girls, at that Amish school, probably somewhere in his past, lost hope. In my own life, there was a time when I had myself convinced, that there was no longer any hope for me. It is a very scary, feeling when you lose all hope. Hope is what keeps us going. I found my hope in a higher power, if you will. That higher power is Yeshua. At my lowest point, I experienced a presence that was Faith, Hope, and Love. A presence that flooded my whole inner being, revealing to me, that in Him; there is indeed hope. Because of that renewed hope, twenty five years later, I can still say “He is Alive!”. He was sacrificed for me and in Him, I, can now, give Him the honor due His name. My Hope, came from Yeshua, and no other. He met met at my need. He’ll do the same for anyone who calls upon His name. If Yeshua had been in the lives of those two killers, many others would still be alive today. Without Yeshua, or Jesus as some call Him, there is no hope. Without hope this nation we call home, is doomed to fall. And at the present rate it’s going, our hope for this country is going to be a lost hope. Only as a Godly, Holy Set apart, Obedient to His Word, Repentant, Back to the Roots of our Foundation,(Torah) Country; do we have hope. We are losing and maybe have already lost our Godly nation status. Without repentance, we are a nation about to receive Holy judgement. We are, I believe in the last days of our existence, as a sovereign nation; and also the last days before Yeshua returns, as the triumphant King of Glory. Time is running out. Are we ready to face our Creator? As for me and my house, we are ready and we will serve the Lord. Are you ready?<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-3667242188349210044?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-86860040853027803222007-04-15T11:52:00.001-06:002007-04-15T11:52:56.827-06:00Our God is the God of second chances. To see the truth of this, read your Bible. If you look for the second chances you will see, the Bible is full of second chances. The opportunity for second chances is always there, ours is the choice to take the second chance. Many times we do not! Even those who miss, or are away, or unclean for Passover, have been given the opportunity, to still observe Passover. In Numbers, God gives the Isrealites, who were defiled by touching the dead, the opportunity to observe the passover in the second month. In 2 Chron. 30; King Hezekiah and the the people, observed the passover in the 2nd month; because they were unclean and not prepared. <br /> In our own lives, how many 2nd chances do we get ? As many as God allows. If we are willing to turn away from our wicked ways, repent and change our lives, so, to live for Him, we have second chances. Until the end of the Age, there is in place, the way for a second chance. That is in the Blood of Yahshua(Jesus). Yahshua is the Passover sacrifice, given; that we have a second chance to get right with our Creator. <br /> Our time here in this world, as we know it; is drawing to a close. Soon, Americans will see the wrath of God, as He begins to judge us. Many will be struck with fear; many so called Christians, will be demoralized because things will not happen as they believe. Because of the teachings of the sheperds many will fall away, many will suffer, many will die. God is going to hold accountable, those wolves in sheeps clothing, misleading the flocks for their own benefit. For the benefit of their core groups. The main problem is not knowing and not teaching the Whole Bible. Todays shepherds, do not have a foundation built on the Torah. To them, torah is old fashioned, out of date, done away with. Satan has been deceiving even the elect. Back when the men of the church, separated themselves from the jews, they also separated themselves from the Torah, from the Biblical calender and embraced the pagan. They profaned the things of God, by combining them with the pagan practices. Easter, totally pagan, was combined with the crucifixion and ressurrection, of Yashua. What does the Yahshua have to do with eggs and bunnies? Nothing! by combining these, the holiness of the crucifixion and ressurrection was made profane. Christmas, is another pagan holiday. Yahshua was not born on the 25th of December. No real date is given in scripture. But it is estimated, that He was born about the time of Succot. Time of the fall harvest. Again the Godly combined with the unclean. God, will judge us for this abomination. We do have the opportunity, to turn away from our wicked ways. Separate the Crucifixion and Ressurrection of Yahshua, from Easter. Let the Pagans have their Christmas celebration. If we truly wish to live the life Yahshua died for us to live , we must separate ourselves from the worldly values. Return to the Torah. Let's separate ourselves from pagan celebrations. We cannot redeem those things which are an abomination to the Lord. The Church has compromised us into a body of people that no longer knows what holineass is. We are called by God to be holy as He is Holy. We are not being taught holiness any more. We will perish for a lack of knowledge. Knowledge, the church has not taught us. Too many of us go to church to be entertained. We do not minister, as the early believers, did in Acts. Many of the shepherds have taken the church away from the believers. The People of the Church must return to the God of their Fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Return to your roots O church. There is still time for the Church to repent. But time is running out. Soon, God's judgement will be upon us, and we will perish in our apostacy. We still have time to respond to the second chance, given to us by Yahshua's death and ressurrection. Study for yourselves, the Word of God(the whole Word), that you my be approved. No longer let men lead you without, checking the Word for yourselves. Know the Word of God for yourselves, so you can no longer be led astray by, the winds of doctrine, by unscrupulous men, who are indeed, wolves in sheep's(or shepherd's) clothing. Read Ezekial 34; God's warning against the shepherds. Take advantage of your second chance, don't let it slip by; Your eternal life is at stake.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-8686004085302780322?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-69951374957504897542007-04-08T06:24:00.000-06:002007-04-08T07:20:06.458-06:00I had the honor of doing a Passover Seder the season. It was quite an experience. One I shall carry with me for awhile. This being my first, I was, as expected nervous. However my Loving Abba, gave the peace that surpasses all understanding, and allowed me to deliver. The Preparation, blessed me more than I thought possible. Many passover services, don't go far enough, to tell the full redemption plan. Most stop at the death of the Messiah. Yahshua said, "It is finished." but it wasn't complete without the Resurrection. In the resurrection is our hope. We all will die, but where is our hope when that happens? <br /> During my preparation for the passover service, I began to see something. God at Mount Sinai, made Israel, His bride. Later on He divorces her, for her adultery. As the husband, He can not take her back again. Our loving God has this plan though, that will free her. God, as the husband, in the humanly form of Yashuah, can die, for her redemption. The blood of His sacrifice cleanses her and the death frees her to choose Him again. Death also ratifies the new covenant. As the Messiah, Yahshuah is able to raise again from the dead, to become a husband once again to His bride. By the blood of the Lamb of God, the bride is made clean and pure as a virgin, all thing are become new. The new covenant written in Jeremiah, upon our hearts; will number all, who believe in Yashuah, as the bride.<br />It is in Yahshuah, that the House of David will be restored. Not theology, not Judaism, not Christianity, not in any other religion. In Yashuah ALONE, is there hope, for humanity.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-6995137495750489754?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-54658075955647416522007-01-31T07:32:00.000-07:002007-01-31T08:06:39.214-07:00<A HREF='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GwkWNzDynpE/RcCofHf_J5I/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZryWEw_cOzY/s1600-h/100_0098.JPG'><IMG SRC='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GwkWNzDynpE/RcCofHf_J5I/AAAAAAAAAAc/ZryWEw_cOzY/s160/100_0098.JPG' border=0 alt='' id='BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_' style='clear:both;float:right;'></A>&nbsp;<div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Here's something you can throw darts at, in your spare time.

He wept before. And as He approached, He saw the city, and He wept [audibly] over it. Exclaiming, Would that you had known personally, even at least in this your day, the things that make for peace (for freedom from all the distresses that are experienced as the result of sin and upon which your peace- your security, safety, prosperity, and happiness-depends)! But now they are hidden from your eyes. For the time is coming upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank about you and surround you and shut you in on every side. And they will dash you down to the ground, you and your children within you; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, [all] because you did not come progressively to recognize and know and understand [from observation and experience] the time of you visitation [that is, when God was visiting you, the time in which God showed Himself gracious toward you and offered you salvation through Christ [Messiah]. LUKE 19:41-44 Amplified. Also in the Garden of Eden, He wept when He knew Adam sinned. He wept all down through the ages of time. In the Garden of Gethsemane, just before He took our judgement upon Himself, He also wept. He (Yeshua, Jesus our Lord) still weeps, as He knows the outcome of it all; when the end of time is come upon mankind.<br /> Our time in history, is now pregnant, with the fulfillment of end time prophecy. We are about to witness the birth pangs, as the fulness of time is brought to its conclusion. Time is NOW, for the world to come to repentence. Every knee WILL bow, when the Lord returns. His return may be sooner than you think, in fact He is now opening the door for His return.<br /> REPENT, REPENT! For the Bridegroom comes to gather His Bride. Be in that number. Don't poopoo it off. I'm just a worn out truckdriver, not well educated, not well versed in politics or religion, but this I know. The Bible speaks of His return, it tells of salvation, of love, of grace, and it also speaks of His great mercy. All down through the pages of scripture, is told, again and again, of God's mercy. Even in Judgement He is merciful, to those who will accept His mercy. I know in whom I believe, and am persuaded that, in that day, I will find His mercy. I have already found His mercy, at the foot of The Cross. In the Blood, He shed, just for me. And for you; if you will turn to Him. Confess your sin and ask His forgiveness and He will forgive. Here is a promise from God for His people, who call upon His name. II Chronicles 7:14 kjv. "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."<br /> Politics no matter which side we subscribe to will not bring us peace. Wars, no matter who wins or loses, will not bring us peace. Voting, for whom we deem the best candidate for our party, will not bring us peace. Many governments or One World government, will not bring us peace. In fact, peace is not even in the program. Religion, whether Judaism, whether Buddism, whether Hinduism, whether Islam, whether Christianity; in all its many forms, will not bring us peace. Peace can only be found in Yeshua(Jesus) the Messiah.<br /> What is peace? Webster says; peace-a state of tranqility or quiet, as freedom from civil disturbance; a state of security or order within a community provided for by law or custom. The Hebrew word used for peace is shalom. Shalom in the Hebrew is actually more than just peace. In the paleo-hebrew the definition is actually; that which destroys the authority that causes chaos. The authority which causes chaos is that which is opposed to God. The enemy of God is Satan, and as such can only be defeated by God through the blood, given by God, in Yeshua, on the cross. Only that will destroy the authority, that causes chaos. Isa.9:6, .. and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.<br /> We can do all the things we think are right, like voting, pressuring the politicians, revolt, protest, or whatever else and we cannot stop the Judgement that we are about to face. God weeps for His people( we are all His people), He weeps because His people do not hear His voice and continue doing their own thing. Just as in the day of the great flood. Before God's judgement. We can however, make sure we are in right standing with the Prince of Peace. REPENT!! FOR YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NEAR. Perhaps God's tears, will not be for YOU. He loves you, and does not wish your destruction. Choose wisely whom you will serve. You cannot serve two masters. You are a slave to whom you serve.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-7947689021654342122?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-21571640586924423802006-12-28T08:03:00.000-07:002006-12-28T09:49:30.410-07:00<div align="left">This time of year is a good time, to reflect on what we have seen, heard, experienced, and learned; and put it in some sort of perspective. Politically, we as Americans, and especially as believers in Jesus(Yeshua), Americans; are in for some hard times ahead.<br />Did you know that while we are focused on the war in Iraq, and the war on terror; that our government is opening us up to a North American Union, not unlike that of the European Union? Did you know that there is a plan to build a super highway from Mexico to Canada, and that the construction is already underway? Did you know that the Port of Entry and Customs will be in Kansas City? Did you know that the funding of this Project is from out side our borders? Where is the CARING news media? Why are they silent?<br />Our favorite Bush, like Wild Bill, has stepped beyond what is truth and right. I wonder how close this super highway comes to Crawford Tx? These people, even Mrs. LB., are not what they appear to be.<br />From now until 2013, we are going to see things that will astound us, and, quite frankly scare us. Especially those of us who are Believers in Jesus, the Messiah. We will be blamed for much of what is about to happen. The Antichrist is already in place. He is emerging, from within the New Roman empire. There is an agenda already in place, with a time of fulfillment scheduled by 2013. The completion of the North American Union is tied to the Leadership of the European Union.<br />The attack of 9/11, the invasion of Iraq, and the war on terror; are for our benefit. Even the Oklahoma bombing, the attack on the USS Cole, are for our benefit. they are all meant to funnel our focus, and our attention. While we are distracted and focused, on Iraq and terroism, THE REAL SCARY stuff is flying under the radar. The Caring Liberal media is either extremely distracted, blinded by the percieved hatred of Bush, or are a part of the deception. This war is real, people are dying, and I am very saddened by it; but I am more saddened and concerned about what we are not being told. We are not seeing or being told the most important things. The Bible is the Truth, we need to guage all other truth by the Word of God. Not the Koran, not the book of mormon, not hari krisna, not budda, and not even the constitution of the United States of America. NAU will do away with our constitution anyway. I suggest that while we still have time, we prepare for our future. Memorize all the scripture you can, we may lose our right to have bibles. Amos 8:11-12; "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord God, "That I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord, but shall not find it."<br />The persecuted church, may soon be our own churches. Believers must prepare for the worst and hope for the best. There are internment camps being built within our own borders. I think I actually may have seen one of these camps. During the war with Japan, many Americans of Japanese descent, were put into internment camps in California, near Independence, off of U.S. 395. Could this site be rebuilt? Probably.<br />Americans need to wake up! The American Christians, who are truly believers in Jesus; look up! for your redemption draws near. I hate this war as much as anyone, but when I begin to look under the radar; I see a different picture, than the one we are being shown. The evidence is out there on the web. All we have to do is a little research, and we will be rewarded for our efforts. The truth is there for all to see. My prayer is that Yeshua(Jesus) will come soon. "Even so COME quickly, LORD JESUS!<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-2157164058692442380?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-24772233044886293312006-12-11T10:59:00.000-07:002006-12-11T11:03:50.218-07:00I have a dumb question. Where is the outcry against the mexican trucks coming into this country, with their unsafe trucks. I know there are some protesters but, where is the national outcry? Also why is the TTC, such a secret? Where is the Media? Why is the general population, not aware of our country, being sold out by our government? Both Demos and Repubs are guilty of selling us out. No one in the present political arena is guiltless. We are losing our country because the greed of this society has, reach a point of {"anything goes", "no hold barred"} no return. Who cares if we KILL our country and it's people in the process.I don't see where, selling out our country, for profit and power; can be good for this country. I guess maybe, we are getting ready for the end times. We, America, aren't mentioned in the endtimes prophecies; perhaps because we don't even exist, as a nation. Maybe we become a non-player in the endtimes. Maybe we are absorbed by those who will line up against the state of Isreal. Maybe we are all dead, from a nuclear holocaust, brought about by those who would destroy Israel. Israel, in its current state, is not very godly, perhaps she needs to be left all alone to face a hostile world, before returning to her God. Israel will not be destoyed though, not by Iran, or Russia, or China. God Himself will protect Israel.Truckers of America; brace yourselves, and buckle up; we are in for a bumpy ride. We will see the changes much sooner than the consumers will. Regulations for American truckers and no regulation for foreign truckers, will hit us hard. We will probably have to go outlaw, in order to make a living. Just like the old west. Life as we know it; is at an end, with no good outcome in our future. Pray GOD, will have mercy on us.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-2477223304488629331?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-23610250232026556542006-12-08T11:33:00.000-07:002006-12-08T12:10:42.690-07:00I have the greatest family, anyone could ever want. The Family, I now have, is my 2nd chance family. I kind of blew it, on the first one. Even though I considered myself a Christian all the while, I didn't live the life, or walk the walk. Being an alcoholic, since my Marine Corps days; post Vietnam, I almost destroyed my first family and myself. Following in the footprints of others who were my mentors, I finally reached the bottom of the barrel. However, God being Who He was and is, lifted me up to set me on the road to recovery. That road, though very, rough and rocky, led me to a point in time; June 27, 1998. The best day of the rest of my life. I was married, and inherited great young ladies for step-daughters; one with children. I inherited, grandchildren! What a great inheritence! I hope I can live up to the hope, they all have in me, towards, their mother and grandmother. Only in my, Abba, and in Yeshua can I even hope to be successful in their hope. And as great as this family is, their is a family I'm a part of , which makes us all; believers in Yeshua, part of a greater family. That is the Family of God! Yeshua is the eldest, of many brethren. This is the family, to die for; as the saying goes. I thank Abba for allowing me the opportunity, to be part of two great families. The Family of God, and the family of man. Maybe someday, they will both be the same; again.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-2361025023202655654?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-91896359115693930962006-11-28T04:37:00.000-07:002006-11-28T05:13:39.587-07:00How hard a thing to accomplish, the scriptures call for us to be patient. Do we really understand what that means? I'm a prime example of, one who has little patience. Being patient means not getting angry when someone challenges us, while not really meaning to. Being patient, is not yelling at our kids when they hit a raw nerve, even though they just asked a fair question. Being patient is, smiling back at a car load of kids, and honking the air horn, for them; even though their mother just cut you off, running the red light. Patience is, allowing your spouse to be annoyed at you, even when you know what you are doing, is a good thing. Patience is, not being angry with yourself, because you have hard time understanding something, everyone else has already, deemed easy to understand.<br />How patient was Jesus(Yeshuah) when the desciples, didn't get it? How patient Yashuah was when, Peter denied Him three times. How patient Yeshuah was, when He was being beaten. How patient Yeshuah was when He hung on the cross. How patient Yeshuah is even Now when we continue to go our own way. How patient Yeshuah is when we fail to follow His example. How long will He continue to be patient with this rebellious world? How it must break His heart, to know that His children, turn away, even in the face of their own despair.<br />Let's all begin practicing patience. Perhaps as we practice patience, maybe we will begin to understand, how to practice His(Yeshuah/God's) presence. It's worth a try, isn't it? In the name of Yeshuah, may it be so.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-9189635911569393096?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-72211770637313680312006-11-09T07:24:00.000-07:002006-11-09T07:27:41.866-07:00November 09<br />Giving Thanks<br /> We are approaching another, Thanksgiving season. We, in this country have much to be thankful for. We have freedoms, no other people in the world, have. We are the best fed people, we are the best dressed people,(not counting the punkers and rockers). We are able to travel throughout this country, almost at will. We enjoy the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom to bear arms, the freedom to worship without persecution. We can choose; how we want to live, where to work, where to live, and what kind of car we want to drive. We have much to be thankful for. Have we ever considered, how or why we are able to have so much? Have we ever considered the cost of our freedoms, and our havings? Our freedoms come at a very heavy price. That price is BLOOD! Blood shed on many battlefields. Some battles abroad, some battles at home. All, exacting the required price. Blood; and lots of it. Even today, the price of our freedom is the same; lots of American blood.<br />Is it worth the price, our freedom? Maybe in today's world, freedom is not worth dying for. At least, for many Americans. If we are not willing to fight and die for our way of life, then it is only a matter of time, before our freedoms will be gone. If we love our way of life and our freedoms, then this Veterans Day; say so to the many men and women, now serving our country.<br /> As we are being thankful to our FREEDOM FIGHTERS, let's also be thankful, to our men and women, who are driving up and down our highways, and byways; delivering our way of life, to all of America. The truckdrivers of this country; are as much responsible for the quality of our life; as the soldiers are for, giving us our freedom. Both, soldiers and truckers are doing their jobs, to keep us safe and secure. As we give thanks this season, let's remember the military, and the truckers, together.<br /> Let's pray, to the one true God; for Peace to once and for all, to reign in our time. That Peace, will only come with the coming of the Messiah; fortold by the Prophets, all through the ages. In the Paleo-hebrew PEACE, is described as that which destroys the authority, that establishes; chaos. Only, Jesus(Yashua), can destroy the authority that establishes Chaos. Satan is that authority; only Yashua can destroy Satan. When giving thanks, remember who deserves THANKS.<br />7:16 AM <a title="Click to add a comment to this entry." href="http://kefael.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FFC0CAEB4927CB5D!127.entry#post" bvitemtype="post">Add a comment</a> <a title="Click to show trackbacks for this entry." href="http://kefael.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FFC0CAEB4927CB5D!127.entry#trackback" bvitemtype="trackback" s_oidt="0" s_oid="http://kefael.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!FFC0CAEB4927CB5D!127.entry#trackback">Trackbacks (0)</a> <a title="Blog about this entry in your space." href="javascript:BlogIt(" bvitemtype="">Blog it</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-7221177063731368031?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-60746276128793901912006-10-29T16:18:00.000-07:002006-10-29T16:19:10.304-07:00&gt;From: kefael &lt;fcwiley@hotmail.com&gt;<br>&gt;To: fcwiley@hotmail.com<br>&gt;Subject: [Messianic Trucker] New comment on &amp;quot;But as the days of Noah <br>&gt;were&amp;quot;.<br>&gt;Date: 29 Oct 2006 14:41:47 -0800<br>&gt;<br>&gt;kefael has left a new comment on your post &quot;&quot;But as the days of Noah<br>&gt;were&quot;&quot;:<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Hello, messianictrucker<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Posted by kefael to Messianic Trucker at 3:41 PM<p>_________________________________________________________________<br>Use your PC to make calls at very low rates<p><a href="https://voiceoam.pcs.v2s.live.com/partnerredirect.aspx">https://voiceoam.pcs.v2s.live.com/partnerredirect.aspx</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-6074627612879390191?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-28360523499729628152006-10-27T16:38:00.001-06:002006-10-27T16:38:15.747-06:00&quot;But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man <br>be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, <br>marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, <br>and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will <br>the coming of the Son of Man be.&quot; Matt. 24:37, 38, 39. This sound familiar? <br>It should, we are seeing the same in our time.<br> &quot;Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and <br>that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. <br>And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved <br>in His heart.&quot; Gen. 6:5, 6. Do you suppose, God still grieves in His heart, <br>over the state of man? I think so! Even though He provides for our <br>salvation, I think He still grieves for those who reject His provision.<br> &quot;The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with <br>violence.&quot; again sound familiar? &quot;So God looked upon the earth, and indeed <br>it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.&quot; Gen. <br>6:11,12. We can see how our time is as it were in the days of Noah, we see <br>sex and violence everywhere. It has become extremely difficult, to find any <br>good thing on major media. If the news programs weren&#39;t enough; the <br>programing is becoming like the programs, they must of had in Sodom and <br>Gomorrah. Even that which God abhors; men with men, women with women. As in <br>the days of Noah, God planned to destroy the earth; in our time, He is <br>planning to destroy the earth.<br> &quot;But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.&quot; Gen. 6:8. &quot;Make for <br>yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark and cover it inside and <br>outside with pitch.&quot; Gen. 6:14. Then the Lord said. &quot;Come into the ark, you <br>and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me <br>in this generation.&quot; Gen 7:1. Because God sees the wickedness of this <br>generation, He sends us an ark. In Yashuah(Jesus), we have an ark, we can <br>enter. He says, &quot;Come into the ark.&quot; We are made righteous in Him.<br> &quot;Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and <br>lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.&quot; Gen. 7:17. &quot;Then we <br>who are alive and remain shall be caught up to- gether with them in the <br>clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the <br>Lord.&quot; 1 Thess. 4:17. Isn&#39;t this similar? The ark Noah built, was of <br>gopherwood. What is our ark? Since becoming familiar with my hebrew roots <br>and studying torah, I&#39;ve become convinced that the Shabbat(sabbath) is more <br>important than just a day we are to rest, and be refreshed. We are called to <br>honor the shabbat, that is, we are to guard the sabbath. In the Noah story, <br>or account; in Gen. 7:4 we see &quot;For after seven more days....&quot; in Gen. <br>8:10, &quot;and he waited yet another seven days,...&quot; ; in Gen. 8:12, &quot;So he <br>waited yet another seven days....&quot; Why all the references to the seventh <br>day? In the beginning we know that God created, for 6 days; on the 7th day <br>which He called the shabbat, He rested and was refreshed. From that time on, <br>it was His plan for us to honor the shabbat. So through time, up to Noah&#39;s <br>time; the seventh day was probably observed as a day of resting. Even though <br>we didn&#39;t get the written command until Moses; the law was passed on by the <br>spoken word. Could it be, that when God said to Noah to enter the ark, it <br>was on shabbat? Then, we can see it, making more sense. Shabbat, in <br>conjunction with the moon, would be the means of measuring, time.<br> What if the ark is a picture of the shabbat? The vessel designed by God, <br>to carry those who are seen by God as &quot; righteous before Him&quot; ? We are only <br>righteous, by the blood of Yashuah. We are called by God to &quot; be holy as He <br>is Holy&quot; He wouldn&#39;t call us to be holy if He didn&#39;t intend for it to be <br>something we are supposed to do. I believe that observing and honoring <br>Shabbat, is the means by which we learn to become holy, or set apart. In <br>that set appartness (is that a real word? is now), we enter into the ark; <br>that will carry us, above the wrath of God, that will destroy, once again <br>the evil; in and on the earth. &quot;But as the days of Noah were, so also will <br>the coming of the Son of Man be.&quot;<br> Let&#39;s Rise above the destruction, that is coming on the earth. The call <br>is being sounded to repent and turn from your wicked ways. MAKE YASHUA( <br>JESUS) THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE. NOW IS THE TIME, YOU DON&#39;T HAVE TOMORROW. In <br>His Glorious Name. AMEN.<p>_________________________________________________________________<br>Get FREE company branded e-mail accounts and business Web site from <br>Microsoft Office Live<p><a href="http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/mcrssaub0050001411mrt/direct/01/">http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/mcrssaub0050001411mrt/direct/01/</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-2836052349972962815?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-34891961819392391222006-10-25T07:48:00.001-06:002006-10-25T07:48:34.362-06:00&quot;Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will <br>be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel (God with <br>us).&quot; Isaiah 7:14.<br> &quot; For unto us is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall <br>be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, <br>The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.&quot; Isaiah 9:6.<br> The scriptures tell us who Yeshua(Jesus) is. The Rabbi&#39;s, down through <br>the centuries, have known what the scriptures say about Messiah. Only, <br>Yeshua! has fulfilled all the prophecies concerning Messiah. Even the targum <br>describes, what the Messiah will be like, when He comes. Those descriptions, <br>describe Yeshua.<br> Who do I say Yeshua is? He is Lord of Lords; King of Kings; He is my <br>Messiah. Yeshua has given to me renewed life. Only God has the authority to <br>give life. Yeshua is the peace that I find, when in the early mornings, <br>while driving down the road, I sense a devine presence nearby. When all is <br>dark and quiet in the wee hours of the day; I have conversation and <br>fellowship with Abba. Sometimes the Presence is heavy enough, to require <br>stopping my truck, on the side of the road. Other times, the tears flow, as <br>from a well, that overflows within me. It&#39;s at those times, when I know, <br>Yeshua and God the Father are one and the same. The Holy Spirit(Ruach <br>HaKodesh), confirms with my spirit, that, my Abba, and my Lord; are indeed <br>found in Yeshua.<br> Indeed! as far as I&#39;m concerned, Yeshua and God are the same. Yeshua is <br>God, with us.

We get so caught up in passing, we forget to stop and smell the roses. It seems that getting there, is more important, than the journey. As a truck driver, I get to see people at there worst and best. Mostly at their worst. </p><p>People do the dumbest things in front of trucks; like cutting a truck off, by pulling in too soon, when passing. The truck driver has to hit the brakes, to keep from hitting the car full of kids, that are trusting their parent to be a safe driver. The truckdriver, says a few choice words; those not repeatable in the local church; then continues on his or her way, to deliver their load; to the store, that the driver of the car, with those kids in it, was in such a hurry to get to, to buy diapers , for those kids. Doesn't make any sense, does it? What is it about trucks and truckdrivers that creates such responses. Don't these people know what a fully loaded truck can do to a car load of kids, or even adults for that matter?</p><p>Thank G-d, there are people out doing a thankless job, getting down the road, delivering products for Americans, and doing so; as safely as they are allowed to do so. With the proper regulations in place, a proper positive attitude, and a kind word or two; instead of "<em>DUMB TRUCK DRIVER" , </em>the truckers for the most part, would and could be, a great asset to our economic worth. I'm proud of the job I do, as a long haul trucker. But the industry is changing, and I'm not so sure it's for the better. Courtesy seems to have lost its value as a trucker virtue. It's all about "me, get out of my way". Trucking has been fun, but I find it harder and harder to enjoy what I do. Oh! I love to drive still, and the roads go through some pretty spectacular territory. There some pretty neat people to meet, but many people have attitudes, that make the stopping less than delightful. Even the best truckstops; have people working for them, who could care less about the drivers. All most drivers want, is a good place to call" home away from home," for the night. Some times they even get to spend a day off the road. How nice it would be if they(the drivers) didn't have to deal with attitudes, that should be left at home; from the truckstop employees.</p><p>As a Messianic Trucker, I get to spend my Sabbaths(Shabbats) off. Usually at truckstop, not always near, a Messianic congregation, so I'm usually on my own for a Shabbat service. I don't know of any other messianic truckers, there are probably some other messianic truckers out there, but I personally don't know any. Anyway, the real problem, is in the food. Being messianic, we(my wife and I) have chosen to be biblically kosher in our diet. Try finding a kosher breakfast in the nearest Flying J.,or try a Friday night buffet, that isn't full of all those nasty little critters, that the Bible says; we are not suppose to eat. All in all; it isn't that bad, but creativity takes on a whole new meaning. Happy Trucking all you who deliver the country's goods. </p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-509135721294395427?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-83321516936704372432006-10-09T07:42:00.000-06:002006-10-09T08:28:22.892-06:00The Torah cycle is about to begin again. What a wonderful time this can be. Cycling from the old to the new. Any of my Christian brothers and sisters, who have not experienced a Torah cycle, are doing yourselves and your God a disservice. I, myself, come from a pentecostal background. As an active member of a good church, I began feeling, something was missing, in my, spiritual, experience. The church experience, I, later realized, was losing, it's holiness. Anyway, I was directed, by the Spirit, to a Messianic congregation, which was doing a Torah cycle. I didn't know what a Torah cycle was. But, as it turned out, I found myself, very comfortable with the concept. I was ready!<br /> The Torah cycle for those of you, who don't know what I'm talking about, is the yearly walk through the first five books of the bible. In that walk, there is also, some prophets, and other older testament readings. For those, who are walking in Jesus, there is also newer testament teaching.<br /> Since entering into the Torah cycles, I have never looked back, except to wonder why it took me so long. Since doing so, I've come to realize that, I didn't know anything about the bible or what ABBA, is trying to say to me, or to us all. Newer testament, didn't replace older testament, it fulfilled it. You cannot truly have a complete picture of God's love and His salvation plan without Torah. Torah is not just laws, it is teachings; designed by a Master architect, to show us His plan for our salvation and redemption. Since man's fall, at the garden, God, has had this plan for our salvation. He laid it out to Moses, and Moses, put it into words for us to read and understand and adopt as our narrow path to redemption. As Jesus said, the path is narrow, which leads to salvation.<br /> I encourage all believers who have never, experienced, a torah cycle, to find one being implemented, join in. With open heart, and open mind, and be prepared for the most joyous ride you will ever experience. You will be blessed beyond you wildest dreams. You will also, start to see, what it means to become holy as He is holy.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-8332151693670437243?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-46357270273771115392006-10-07T06:57:00.000-06:002006-10-07T07:08:01.393-06:00<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">Chag</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)">Shavuah</span><br />This is the season of rejoicing.

He has shown us His ABUNDANCE; now as we enter into this festival of harvest, let us all rejoice in His goodness.<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-4635727027377111539?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-1156257048874341502006-08-22T07:44:00.000-06:002006-09-26T13:36:06.586-06:00Once again, the tide of world opinion, has created an atmosphere where Israel is looked upon as the aggressor, and pressured to leave a job unfinished. The problem is, they will have to do it all over again. Hezbollah will not abide by any sort of U.N. resolution. Anyone who thinks so; is smoking too much hash.<br /> The U.S.A. needs to quit getting involved in Israeli house cleaning. Cockroaches need to be exterminated or they will multiply; and so far, I have not seen anything, in Radical Islam; that convinces me, they are anything else, but cockroaches.<br /> PEACE; the world wants it, but the world, doesn't really know what peace requires. There can be no real peace, until, the authority that causes CHAOS, is destroyed. It appears to me, that the authority that causes chaos, is the driving force, behind the radical, insane, rantings of a Hitler, want-a-be.<br /> How many centuries, has the world tried, to exterminate Israel and the Jews? All who have tried to destroy Israel, have in turn, been destroyed themselves. History has been witness, to this truth.<br /> If we are to have true peace; then we need to pray, for the speedy return, of the Messiah. Only in Messiah, will there be real peace; the kind of peace, we all long for. May it be so, even in our time. Even so, Lord Yeshua, come quickly.<br /> SHALOM- PEACE<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-115625704887434150?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30344570.post-1152729596752336442006-07-12T11:50:00.000-06:002006-09-24T15:43:51.916-06:00<div style="text-align: left;"> Where does mercy begin?<br /> Because of a situation, that has been, brought to my attention; I have been asking myself that question. Example: You are a father of a large family, also leader of a small congregation. You find out; a good and trusted friend, has been molesting, two of your younger boys. You go through all the legal stuff, to get justice. But, that doesn't do anything, for the hurt and misplaced trust. You are angry; even bitter, towards that person. Where does mercy begin? Does that person, who violated your trust, along with violating your children, deserve mercy?<br /> Go back a couple thousand years to another time, another situation. You're the father. On a hill, on a cross; hangs your son. He is pierced, a crown of thorns on his head. As the father you are angry, even hurt. As the father, where does mercy begin?<br /> Mercy begins, when the Son, in His dying breaths says "Father forgive them, they know not what they do." Where does mercy begin? It begins with forgiveness. You cannot show real mercy, without forgiveness.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">http://messianictrucker.blogspot.com http://www.julie-realitycheck.blogspot.com/ kefael@livejournal.com http://kefJavaScript"> <!--<img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30344570-115272959675233644?l=messianictrucker.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kefaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07912143518581875262noreply@blogger.com0
