To me I think this is one movement that makes sense.
Yes, they don't observe Halloween and Easter and Christmas because they are not Christian holidays.
It makes me shake my head to even think Churches, pastors who are throwing celebrations on these pagan holidays. AN honest study would reveal that these celebrations are entirely satanic. Being a Christian would you want to participate on a day where baby sacrifices are going on around the country? Would you want to participate on a day where sex and fertility are the central themes? Would you want to confuse your congragation with bunnies, christmas gifts and putting pumpkin lanterns on your step? If you disagree, I challenge you to check into why kids go knocking door to door? They collected children for sacrifices for Bone fires back in the day. How confusing is that?
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
We are meant to keep the festivals and feasts. IN FACT, the most astonishing thing is these festivals have prophecies in them. Did you know that God had his people keep these festivals for hundreds of years before Jesus came. He taught in the word how to keep them. (They are pretty easy to keep) and they were AN EXACT reprensentation of what was to come? Passover is Gods true day, yet the church keeps Estar. Do you get what I am saying?
We are supposed to keep Sabbath. Friday night to Saturday night. Many churches say... oh keep Sunday. God wants us to get the day right. It makes a difference. Much of the churches claim..... "oh keep the 9 commandments, but the sabbath commandment is no longer important" That is so far from the truth. I ask this... why did Jesus keep it? Why did the father in Genesis rest on the last day, and why did the followers after Jesus died keep the sabbath? Why will be keeping the sabbath when Jesus returns? SO, then why in ONLY THIS point in time do we not keep the sabbath? I tell you, God does not change, ...... Look in the past, and it should tell you the way he is, Jesus didn't change anything when he came, he was a continuation. (Don't get me wrong, we are saved by grace, not by works) But there is no excuse for not keeping the sabbath and the festivals. It is another way our mainline church is teaching the wrong things. The mainline church is sitting in the curses, not the full power of God.
One really spectacular piece of evidence to show Jews is that the bible codes reveal the Name of Jesus in the actual old testament prophecies.
Did you know that 74 BIBLE CODES are found in Isaiah 52-53
YUP! All the disciples, the three mary's, it is pretty amazing!
I do think there is a big move of God taking place. Do a quick search on Tom Deckard who has been told by God to gather ephraim. He is doing the greater works Jesus said we are meant to have. He is raising the dead, curing cancer, curing people of aids, making disabled people walk.
There is a big movement of God taking place. You tube Tom Deckard and see for your self.
There is black and white issues in the bible, but yet our church seems that it cannot even distinguish these basic issues. The problem is that many preachers are fearful of teaching these things in the event they are to loose their job. I once heard on a radio program last week that asked 2 main line church preachers to rate the church on a 1 to 10.... 10 being flawless. They both rated the church between a 7 and 8. I just shook my head. The main line churches are all seperated. We have no more unity. Many people cannot receive correction on the most biblically based things. We do not evangelize as a whole anymore. We have not standed up for the 1000 babies killed every day in this abortion movement. We cannot even produce the gifts that Jesus procaimed we would do, and greater. We are so far behind. In fact, go on Meetup dot com and do a search in most cities under religion. See that most of the "religious" groups are witchcraft groups. In a poll of 18-34, close to 50% said they claimed themselves as believers in a no god, no relgion. So, would you really say the church is in a good position? We are far behind where we should be.
