The Church in America Is Being Driven Underground

The Cosmic Battle for the Soul of America and the Emergence of the Underground Church in America

Why is it that there seems to be an all out war by local, state and federal government (all three branches) as well as our educational, major media, most major entertainment outlets and many of our social institutions against the traditional values of this nation that made it what it is? If something is antagonistic to the family, the Christian church, or biblical values, it gets a pass. Laws are passed in favor of it, the courts uphold it, the people are legally mandated to be able to litigate against it, it is celebrated, paraded proudly in our streets, is headlined and lauded by the major media outlets.

Here are a few examples of the anti-biblical agendas that have been foisted upon the American people over the past forty plus years, and many of them in the last several years: Continue reading

 

Is Koran Burning Scriptural?

Question: In Acts 19:13–19 we read about a public book burning of occult books. The Scriptures commend this act and reveal that as a result, “the word of God prevailed.”

13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.  14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? 16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.

19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

 

In todays news we read the following:

Florida pastor arrested before he could burn 2,998 Korans

Associated Press

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/09/12/florida-pastor-arrested-before-could-burn-28-korans/?test=latestnews

I don’t know this pastor, but based on what I read in the Scriptures, and based on the fact the Koran is a demonic book (I have read it cover to cover), I for one will be praying for this  pastor. Will you join me?

In the mean time, take a look at one of my earlier posts entitled, “What the Koran Really Says,” at http://hoshanarabbah.org/blog/2013/06/01/what-the-koran-really-says/.

I am in no way advocating violence against Muslims. We are to love them along with everyone else for whom Yeshua died. As YHVH gives us the opportunity, we should share the gospel with them (along with all people) in a loving and powerful way as directed by the Holy Spirit. Many of them are enslaved in a demonic system and don’t know better. Pray for them.

At this point, the big question is this: If this were a Muslim cleric, or an atheist burning Bibles instead of Korans, would they be arrested? Would it make national headlines? Would anyone care besides Bible believers? I think you know the answer — sadly!

Guys, in our society, we all know that it’s open season on anyone or anything having to do with the Bible. The real enemy isn’t that human who is standing against Elohim and his Word, but the devil who is motivating them. Let’s never forget who that is!

 

This Just Out From Israel: Bloodthirsty Edom on the Loose

The Golden Report IMPORTANT REPORT FROM ISRAEL

http://thegoldenreport.net/?p=1033

July 7-2013
As the world goes completely crazy, we seem to look first one way and then the other for the truth of what is happening, when in fact there is only one source of truth and that is God’s Word. Today we see how the descendants of Ishmael (Arabs) are killing each other to please their God Allah in Egypt, Syria, and even throughout the Muslim world as well. It is also interesting to note that they are killing each other for the right to kill us (you and me, non-Muslims)

Islam 1-20794873

You may want to take a couple of minutes and read Gen.16, paying close attention to the 12th verse “and he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.” The Chapter is only 16 verses long and it will give you a fresh and better understanding of who the Arabs are.

The fall of Morsi in Egypt will not be an easy thing for the Egyptians; the Muslim Brothers will not go down easily. They are the evil Satanic bloodthirsty descendants of Ishmael and it is built into their genes by God to be as they are. If that sounds cruel to you just think about the possibility of the day you could be laying on the ground with your hands tied and Ishmael standing over you with a doubled edged knife to cut off your head. Thousand’s face that reality daily around the world. Their crime; they were not worshippers of Allah. They were namely Jews and Christians labelled in the Koran as “the people of the Book”.

In Israel we are caught between the Syrians and Egyptians. They both sprang from Ishmael and are both raving crazy mad with blood before their eyes. Once they settle down a bit they will once again turn all their forces against Israel. They simply can’t stop killing. They love death more than we love life. But when they do turn their combined forces against Israel they will face their greatest defeat. They will be destroyed. Egypt and Syria are not part of Ezek. 38:5-6 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. The war we are about to experience will be terrible – and worse than any before it. Yet it is not the battle of Ezek 38:5-6. It will however set the stage for that great war. In the meantime Obama is doing all he can with little to no resistance from the American people to destroy the USA.

In past reports I have spoken of smokescreens. Some of these are themselves very dangerous and Islam is one of them. But there is a far greater threat to your life and your lifestyle and that is what is commonly called the New World Order, Illuminati, Bilderberger. or whatever you care to call it. They are simply using the Islamic terrorist to accomplish their goal of world domination. That however does not lessen the terrible danger the Islamist poses to you. They want you dead and they will do anything to accomplish that goal. We here in Israel have lived with that reality for decades and know the only way to survive is by strength, or at least that is what most Israelis believe. When in fact the only reason we are survivors is that by the Will of God He has determined to perform and fulfil His end time prophetic Word.

The ugly head of anti-Semitism is rising across Europe in the form of Islam and it has already gained a death-grip in many countries there. It is far stronger and with far more power in the US than many want to believe. Cities have already been taken over and Islamic Jihad training camps are now covertly springing up across the U.S.

You may be wondering what can you do about all of this. Globally, very little, if anything. Personally, however, there is a lot and very important things for you to do.

The first is; to assure yourself of your personal salvation and there is only one way for that – through the door that is Yeshua, (Jesus). If you are not certain of your relationship with God now is the time to bow your head and with your heart open to the move of the Holy Spirit ask Yeshua to come into your life and to be the center of your life, confessing your sins and asking for forgiveness of those sins.

There is another thing you need to do and quickly. Prepare for your loved ones and your family. I-Tim. 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

You are a wild olive branch grafted into a Jewish root. If you love Israel and the Jewish people you know of this supernatural love that can only come from God. God will bless those who bless Israel. Gen. 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

God is bringing the Jews back to Israel. Many are coming today by air. That possibility will soon close and the only possible way will be by sea. We pray that God will touch you today and show you how important your support of this Ministry is.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for this ministry and your part in it.

Shalom, Jerry Golden

 

My Independence Day Blues

Ever get the Independence Day blues — reflecting on how America has gone to the dogs spiritually! I did this year. Why are we so backslid spiritually? Why are our leaders so preoccupied with forcing evil agendas upon us? Where are we going from here? What does the future hold for us? What’s the solution to the problem? What can I do about it?

15532432

The Bible speaks of living in perilous times in the last days (1 Tim 4:1; 2 Tim 3:1–9) where men are living in total rebellion against YHVH, abandoning their biblical faith for demonic belief systems, and have become lovers of money and themselves. They are blasphemers, unholy, unloving, pleasure seeking God-haters.

By in large, Americans, and most people in general don’t care about YHVH. They’re too self-absorbed and caught up in the pursuit of materialism, pleasure, and self-gratification to care about that out-of-date religious, Bible stuff.

What’s more, the church is sick—lukewarm to the core. Most churches are more concerned about their building fund and the pastor about his denominational status and retirement than about preaching the hard truth of the Bible. Most Christians are only a few steps behind the values of the world. The lordship of Yeshua? What’s that? Follow the Bible? What an archaic idea. Few read or study the Bible or pray anymore. Few really seek YHVH with their whole hearts. You’re considered a weird throw-back if you do.

It seems as if YHVH is far away, uninvolved and disinterested in the affairs of men—that Yeshua will never return as the Bible promises. Where is the promise of his coming as Peter opined in his second epistle? There will be scoffers pursuing their own lusts feeling that all things continue as they have from time immemorial (2 Pet 3:3–4). It’s easy to acquiesce to this mentality. However, the day of YHVH’s judgment is coming unexpectedly as a thief though (v. 10).

Yeshua prophesied that a time is coming just before his second coming when men’s hearts will fail them for fear. Great distress will come upon nations (Luke 21:25–28).

But what about America? What about the other so-called Christian nations? Is there hope for them? What does the Bible prophesy will happen to them in the end times? This is what I was pondering on July 4th this year.

Because Bible believers have backslid, become fat and lazy, self-absorbed and given over to pursuits of materialism and hedonism and have forsaken the God of the Bible, he is now dealing with them as a loving parent deals with his wayward child—through tough-love discipline. He is now spanking them, and he, among other things, is using Edom to do it!

Who is Edom? Perhaps you recall that name from the back corners of your memory as being a biblical personality. But what could that have to do with you and me? Ah-ha! That’s where the timelessness of the Bible comes in. The Bible gives us the answers!

America: #1 In Fear, Stress, Anger, Divorce, Obesity, Anti-Depressants, Etc.

AMERICA NEEDS YESHUA AND THE TORAH!

In the sobering article below (see link), the author outlines trends that he believes indicate that America’s social fabric is literally ripping apart at the seams at an alarming rate.

21080711

Like a watchman on the wall, I’ve been watching these trends develop for many years, and all I can say is this: America (and the other nations of the world too!) needs a spiritual revival! America (and the world) needs Yeshua! America needs to get back to the spiritual values of the Bible if it’s going to survive.

Sadly, like an adolescent teen in stubborn and prideful rebellion against his parents, America is locked in a fight against the God of the Bible and refuses to submit to the values contained therein that helped make this nation great, and that also have the power to turn this nation around.

Let me be honest. My life and our ministry is dedicated to helping to restore the spiritual values of the Bible, and to bring people into a living, personal and a powerful relationship with Yeshua the Messiah through His Word, the Bible. This is our only hope individually and collectively as a nation and as a world!
