During lectures, a foreign student from China, studying Ancient History at one of the prestigious Universities in the United Kingdom suddenly exclaimed, ‘Oh my God, Jesus Christ is real, HE actually walked here on earth?’ This brief story was shared by my sibling during a drive from University amid Covid-19 Pandemic. Truth be told, there are so many people with the same mindset is a myth, whilst others have been derailed by the forces of darkness spiritually, so they no longer believe. let’s look at this story in another spectrum; this is an adult in University; travelled from one continent to the other in search of knowledge and wisdom; yet does not know about Jesus Christ the Messiah- The Anointed One [Yeshua HaMashiach]. A MAN that walked on this earth yet was GOD; HE healed the Sick and raised the dead; A MAN that has authority over nature- even the wind and sea obeys HIM as testified in the Holy Scriptures of Matthew 8:23-27; A MAN that stood in front of the people of his days and asked them to tell, if anyone has ever seen him commit a sin? A MAN that sets the moral code to it’s highest standard ever in the world; HE said, ”you have already committed adultery (sin) in your heart, by just looking at a woman or man and lusting after them. HE also said, we should LOVE our neighbours as ourselves and to LOVE our enemies and all those who persecute us. Brothers and Sisters, grab yourself a BIBLE -The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth, to know Yeshua personally; you will not regret it. Yeshua tells us in the book of John 15:19 that, ‘‘If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. But you are not of the world, since I have chosen you out of the world; therefore the world hates you”. Total world population is currently 7.7 billion people. There are currently 7,353 living languages in the world. At least one portion of Scripture has been translated for 3,384 of these languages. The New Testament is available in 1,548 languages, with portions in 1,138. Note, 3969 languages has no Scripture of the Bible , this affects 252 million people. 2617 languages in 161 countries with active translation or preparatory work has begun , this will affect 5.4 billion people. The complete Bible has been translated into 698 languages.*Statistics courtesy of Wycliffe Global Alliance, Oct. 2019.
God created us all in HIS own image. Philippians 4:13, empowers us all as believers we can do all things through Jesus Christ [Yeshua] who strengthens us . There are so many promises in the Bible similar to this. However, we are human , in this world of darkness and bound to have errors and make mistakes. The Bible tells us in Psalms 147:5 that, God is limitless but we have limits. Ephesians 6:12 says, ”For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the worldly forces of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” The enemy is always attacking believers 24/7 to ensure we make mistakes, to derail us from our God given purpose. There have been infiltration of the enemy spiritually during the canonisation of the Holy Scripture- BIBLE – the famous Council of Nicea in 325 C.E., when Emperor Constantine and church authorities purportedly banned books that didn’t conform to their secret agenda and also changed the text in translation to confuse and deceive mankind of the Truth. The Bible has been translated into many languages from the biblical languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. Let us go back and look at the Tower of Babel, in biblical literature, structure built in the land of Shinar [Babylonia] some time after the floods. The story of its construction, given in Genesis 11:1–9, appears to be an attempt to explain the existence of diverse human languages. It was just one language at the beginning of existence; believed to be Hebrew – Gods language ; Brothers and sisters, we are doing the same mistakes again today, instead of being content in life; we love and are consumed by things of this world so much and want to seek answers beyond our understanding with advanced technology. ‘The world is now Fractured, full of sin ‘like a virus’ that can’t be controlled‘. Yeshua gave mankind the warning about the beast in the book of Revelation 13:18, where it is written ,”Here is wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is a number of a man, and his number is 666 [other manuscripts says 616].” Our World today is running entirely on codes. The internet uses codes for everything from emails, video calling , websites, bank transactions just to name a few. Everything happening around you today and the future is already written in the Bible. Open the book of Daniel in one hand, the book of revelation in the other and your daily newspaper in the middle. Yeshua [Ben-Elohim] foretold all these things such as Pandemics, Wars and Famine. Don’t be fooled by anyone; find out for yourself by reading the Holy Scriptures and the Holy Spirit [Ruach ha-Kodesh] will guide you to understand, so you’re prepared. “… it can only be over when the God of all creations says so and not man…”But remember , in all things, GOD is still saying something.
Yeshua Said in the book of John 8:58, ” …, “Amen, amen I tell you, before Abraham was, I am!”. HE claimed existence before heaven and earth was created. The Bible tells us in John 1:1-5 that, ”In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were made through Him, and apart from Him nothing was made that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overpowered it.” Yeshua is the WORD. In the book of John 10:30, Yeshua said that, “I and the Father are one”; HE claimed to be GOD. No wonder the people of his days wanted to kill him and eventually did so. Yeshua is still ALIVE– HE rose from the dead just like he foretold after three days and now seated on the throne at the right hand of Adonai Elohim the Father in heaven. There is over 2 Billion searches on google and YouTube for ‘Proof Jesus Christ is still Alive’. Is Jesus Christ who HE says HE is? or HE was a liar, the biggest fraud ever known in the world? or was HE delusional with his claims? I, Raphael, can’t proof this scientifically to you; but archaeologist and History has it ; The name everyone can’t keep out of their conscience is Jesus Christ [Yeshu] of Nazareth ; Jesus Christ, Who ARE YOU? This generation needs proof for everything to believe. We believe in technology , Science, Money , Wealth, the Government etc . Has anything changed in our lives? Now, have faith in Jesus Christ, who’s also God and seek Him in your spirit [Heart] and truth [read your bible]; John 4:24, tells us this deep secret in the Bible. I just don’t believe but know deep down in my heart with no doubt, your life will never be the same if you put your complete faith in HIM like you do in your everyday lives. We sit in a chair completely with our whole weight believing is safe to sit on and that, it will not break leading to a fall; we write cheques and believe the bank will pay it and many other examples. We already exercise faith everyday in things of this world, so why not exercise the same faith in the spirit of light which is invisible?
Investigate the track record of Jesus Christ in peoples lives all around the world personally. Search online for true testimonies in the lives of people ,”Jesus Christ is changing lives, changing nations and changing the world“. Don’t be fooled or lied to by this world of darkness that, there is no God; search on ‘google’ for testimonies and encounters people have had with the Messiah Yeshua on the internet. All you have to do is Repent -stay away from sin, have a forgiven heart and believe, Yeshua is the son of GOD and by HIS blood shed on the cross at Golgotha, you’re saved. Jesus Christ is now your commander in chief in all your invisible and visible battles if you Believe in HIM. Yeshua spoke so much about Hell in the Besorah (Gospel) than any other topic. Why? The simple answer is that, Heaven and Hell (Sheol/Gehenna) exist. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus is a well-known parable of Yeshua appearing in the Gospel of Luke 16:19-31. In the parable, Yeshua tells his audience – his disciples and some Pharisees – of the relationship, during life and after death, between an unnamed rich man and a poor beggar named Lazarus. Yeshua told us in Matthew 25:41 that, hell was not created for me nor you, but has been prepared for the devil and his angels. Furthermore, when Yeshua was preaching about The Way to the Heaven to his disciples in John 14:1-14, He said “I am the way, the truth, and the life! No one comes to the Father except through Me. Moreover, in Matthew 10:28, Jesus Christ said, ”And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna”. Yeshua speaks of Shalom (peace) in John 14:27, “Shalom I leave you, My shalom I give to you; but not as the world gives! Do not let your heart be troubled or afraid.’ The shalom of Jesus Christ [Yeshua] in our troubles is the antidote to fear. The shalom Yeshua gives is independent of circumstances and it’s a shalom that’s only possible when it’s received from GOD the FATHER. It’s a shalom that comes from having our eyes and hearts fixed on HIM and not on the circumstances we find ourselves in.
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Save my Soul!
