"5. The Return of Israel to Her Land:
After many centuries of wandering, the Jews are now making their way back to
Palestine. Nowadays, Israel is a duly recognized republic (Review Isaiah 11:11;
Jeremiah 23:3; Amos 9:13-15). The vanguard of Hebrews already back on the soil of
their fathers will be followed by many more of their countrymen. All this paves the way
for the return of Christ for His own; and then for the treacherous conduct of Anti-Christ,
who will make a deadly agreement with Israel back in her land (Daniel 9:24-27)

Not only has your friend, John K.C. Fok, falsely prophesied and falsely taught, but you become partakers of his false prophecies and teachings by spreading them.
Let us take a careful look at the Scriptures he quotes to validate his views.
FIRST ERROR
Isaiah 11: 11,12.
10: And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse(Jesus), which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
11: And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12: And he shall set up an ensign for the nations,(Jesus) and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.(
The first regathering occurred under Ezra and Nehemiah. The Israelites were regathered in the land of Israel. When Jesus came, all twelve tribes were represented in Israel.
The second regathering of the remanant occurred when the Jewish Apostles went to all the Synagogues of the world and preached the Gospel and regathered the remanant of dispersed Israel. Hundreds of thousands of Jews(the remanant) were saved during the first century of Christianity. The bad figs were utterely distoryed starting at Jerusalem in 70 A.A. The Ensign of the nations to regather the dispersed of Juidahs from the four corners of the earth was the Ensign of Jesus Christ. This is fulfilled prophecy that this false teacher is resurrecting.
The eleventh and twelveth verses of Isaish 11 have already been fulfilled.

Let us look at the second verses from Jeremiah 23
SECOND ERROR
Jeremiah 23:5-7
5: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, (Jesus) and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6: In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.(Jesus)
7: Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; (The old passover will no longer be the celebration of Christian People--the New Israel of God--, but the new living Passover(Pascha) is the Resurrection of Christ celebrate as the feast of Pacha and called Easter in English speaking nations.)
The Passover for Christians has been Holy Week for the last 2000 years when Christians throughout the world commemorate the Crucifixion, death and Resurrection of the Eternal Passover Lamb of God.
Again, this second group of Scriptures are clearly fulfilled in Christ.

THIRD ERROR
Amos 9:13-15
11: In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: (This is clearly achieve through the Son of David--Jesus Christ)
12: That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name,((These are the Christians that the Jewish Apostles and disciples won to Christ. They became the heritage of God and Israel. Do you know of any other heathens who are called by God's name)) saith the LORD that doeth this.13: Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and thetreader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
14: And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make
gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
15: And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.

FOURTH ERROR
Daniel 9: 24-27
24: Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness,((This is clearly refering to Jesus)) and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25: Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26: And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off,((Jesus Crucified.)) but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;((clearly the Roman destruction in 70A.D.) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27: And he((THIS IS CHRIST AND NOT ANTICHRIST)) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the
desolate.
Satan is fast at work in these latter days inspiring his children to spread false teachings and false prophecies by the ton. We are witnessing a deluge on SI. Antichrist Israel is the focus of all false teachers. They are trying to take the eyes of the Children of God off the Church and put it on antichirst modern Judaism.
Like all the Prophets of the Old Tesatment, the prophecies about Jesus are mixed with prophecies relating to ancient House of Israel and the ancient House of Judah who had gone into first Assyrian and then Babylonian Captivity. The Holy Spirit purposefully mixed the prophecies about the coming Messiah with the prophecies about the restoration of Israel under Ezra and Nehemiah.
All prophecies under the NEW COVENANT apply to the New Israel of God, the Christian People. All of the Apostles and early disciples applied all the prophecies to Christianity and did the Church for the last 2000 years. It is only recently that many herectics and false prophets have tried to focus prophecy upon antichrist Talmudic Judaism and the antichrist state of Israel.
The Church--God's Choosen People-- is the only proper focus of prophecy under the New Covenant. |
