To: Emile Vidrine who wrote (1747 ) 8/9/2002 9:48:55 PM From: Sidney Reilly Respond to of 5569 " If modern antichrist Jews are, according to your doctrine, waiting for the Messiah, then how will they recognize him when he returns? Will they recognize him as the Messiah by looking in the Old Testament to see if he the fulfills of prophecies in the Prophets, Psalms and Torah? Answer this question honestly and your eyes will be opened!" Have you considered this question, and if so, can you give me an answer? Since the central doctrine of dispensationalism teaches that the modern Jews will accept their Messiah when he returns, could you, please tell me how they will recognize him as the Messiah? Actually Emile, because you believe as you do you are blinded to the entire end times scenario of the Revelation of John. One of the first signs of the end times drawing close is the gathering together of the Jews into a nation once again. After the dispersion of the Jews by the Romans the nation of Israel did not exist until 1948. This had to happen for end times prophecy to play out. The physical nation of Israel is pivotal in God's dealing with the entire human race. But you are far away from that and anything about the end times because you think it has already happened. But it could not have. You say how will the Jews recognize their Messiah. They will not. They will be deceived when the devil "returns", faking the Lord's Glorious return in advance and deceiving many. Many will say there He is. But it's not going to be the Lord. I believe that faked return will be about Chapter 4 of God's Revelation to John. I believe that because the devil has put so much time and effort into selling pre-trib rapture to the Christian world. And that's a false teaching. The Church has been deceived. They will be expectant, and who will show up? The only thing that happens in Chapter 4 is that the writer stops using the term Church and instead afterwards refers to "the saints" and those that are martyred for Christ's sake. Satan struck the Church, as prophesied, with a huge deception and scattered the Church. I believe that's why the Church is referred to no more. Only the saints who were not deceived. Many are going to be deceived. Those that don't recognize Jesus's voice and follow another. But God is merciful, and there is a way out for those who realize what they have done. But I was saying about Israel. Israel will accept the false messiah as Christ and make a covenant with him. This happens, I believe, when the false return of the false christ is staged. So Israel is so important in the end times. But they suffer so much for it. That's what I believe. Being deceived is the #1 problem in understanding the Word. So who is right and who is being deceived? I pray not to be deceived. If I am wrong about something I would want to be shown. And I would look at it honestly. I dread that I would stand before the Lord and had mislead anyone. That's the truth too. But we've talked about all your views Emile on other threads years ago now, and about your Jewish conspiracy theories. And I don't see it at all. The New World Order is not a Jewish conspiracy. It's a satanic conspiracy that includes people from every race, every cultrue, and every religion. All that follow the devil whether willingly or through ignorance helping his plans.
