Unveiling Hidden Meanings: The Gospel of Jesus and the Two Houses of Israel The stories of Jesus healing a woman with an issue of blood and reviving a dead young girl in the New Testament have profound symbolism connecting to the Old Testament. The woman with the issue of blood represents the Southern House of Judah. Despite her affliction, she's alive, reflecting the survival of Judah's people, even after the destruction of their nation in 70 AD. Jesus, healing her, signifies His divine mission to restore not only the Southern House but also the Northern House of Israel, symbolized by the young girl considered dead, similar to Joseph in Genesis. Joseph, presumed dead by Jacob, can be seen as representing Ephraim and the Northern House, just as the young girl in the New Testament stories. Ezekiel 37 further emphasizes this analogy where the prophet brings back to life a valley of dry, dead bones, symbolizing the whole house of Israel. These metaphors elucidate the work of Jesus - healing Judah (the woman with the issue of blood) and reviving Israel (the dead girl), depicting His role as the singular shepherd overseeing both houses. Interestingly, the following story in Matthew Chapter ten, tells about two blind men, which could represent both the houses of Judah and Israel. Jesus’s act of giving sight to them suggests His mission of restoring spiritual vision and hearing to His people. These stories are part of the Gospel of the Kingdom, emphasizing salvation, physical healing, and restoration. Matthew Chapter 24 propounds that the Gospel of the Kingdom would be preached globally, prefiguring the work of apostles like Paul who spread the Gospel far and wide, reaching places like ancient Britain, signifying the message reaching the Northern House. The modern interpretation, asserting Jews as the House of Judah, doesn't align with the Scripture. The Fig tree, though leafy, lacks fruit, suggesting absence of righteousness. However, there's hope in the Gospel that Jesus Christ came to save the house of Israel and fulfill the covenant made to the fathers. While it might seem dismal in the face of rampant sin and questionable government actions, the return of Jesus Christ offers hope. He'll be vindicated when he returns, bringing justice to the wicked and solace to the righteous. This understanding of the Gospel, grounded in historical events and spiritual truths, gives us hope for the future. It reminds us to live for Christ, as He is our prophet, our priest, and our soon-coming king. Truth in History with Charles A.

Unveiling Apostle Paul's Message: The True Identity of Israelites & Enduring Promises of God In today's study, we delve into the first chapter of Romans. Our discussion is centered on the teachings of Apostle Paul, urging you to rely on his teachings, rather than my interpretations. In his opening remarks in the book of Romans, Apostle Paul acknowledges Jesus Christ as the divine Son of God. Found in verse three of the first chapter, he attests to Jesus being born of David's lineage, confirming his dual status as the Son of God and the son of David. This introduction targets the Israelites who are conversant with the Old Testament, underscoring its significance to them. If his audience was purely pagan or as commonly referred by Christians, "Gentiles," his letter would lose its intended impact. Therefore, put your faith in Apostle Paul's teachings in the book of Romans. He asserts that during his time, all 12 tribes of Israel were present, a fact that should remain true to date. Now, let's delve into the evidence provided by Paul. Due to the wealth of information available, I will quickly cover the material. In Romans chapter ten, I urge you to have your Bible for easy referencing. The first point to note is Paul's yearning. His earnest prayer to God for Israel is their salvation. If he doubted Israel's existence, his prayer would be futile. He holds both the House of Israel and the House of Judah in equal regard, pointing out their zeal for God, albeit devoid of proper knowledge. Paul outlines four pieces of evidence in Romans chapter 11. Firstly, he includes himself as living proof of God's enduring covenant with Israel. Secondly, he identifies as an Israelite, implying the survival of Jacob's descendants. Thirdly, his affiliation with the seed of Abraham alludes to their continuous existence. Lastly, his identification as a tribe member of Benjamin demonstrates a detailed understanding of his lineage. Paul then turns to the Prophet Jeremiah's words in Jeremiah 33, challenging the claim that God has abandoned his chosen people. He also refutes the prevailing theories that the Jews represent Israel, the Christian church substitutes for Israel, and the amalgamation theory, which asserts that the Old Testament Israelites assimilated into pagan cultures. He adamantly states that these theories are unfounded, asserting that all 12 tribes of Israel are still present today. Paul's mission is clearly described in Galatians chapter one. He felt called by God to preach among the "heathen," a term he uses to represent both Israelites and non-Israelites. Lastly, Paul was willing to sacrifice himself for three fundamental beliefs. Firstly, the name of Jesus, for which he was prepared to face death in Jerusalem. Secondly, the concept of resurrection, a belief that had called his legitimacy into question. Lastly, the restoration of Israel, a promise he strongly believed in, despite accusations from the Jews. He closes his argument by pointing out that the 12 tribes of Israel continue to serve God diligently. Furthermore, he notes that he is imprisoned due to his steadfast hope for Israel's restoration. He was always prepared to face death for his steadfast beliefs in the name of Jesus, resurrection, and the restoration of Israel. For those interested in learning more about Apostle Paul's ministry to Israel, I recommend our latest magazine issue. It explores his journey to ancient Britain, a mission that has been supported by many scholars and which consequently influenced our Christian faith today. Remember, Jesus Christ is our prophet, priest, and our future king. God bless you. Truth in History with Charles A.

Babylon's Downfall: The Epic Collapse of Evil and the Dawn of God's Reign The world seems to be in turmoil with wars, natural disasters, pandemics, and moral decline. However, there's a message of hope in the midst of chaos. As we look at the Bible, particularly the book of Daniel, we see a prophetic vision of a stone that would destroy the statue representing the world's kingdoms. This stone is symbolic of God's kingdom, which will replace the corrupt systems of the world. Prophecy is not about an anti-Christ, but rather about the rise of God's kingdom on earth. Futurism may suggest that we simply wait for the rapture and leave the world to its doom. However, God's plan is to establish the fifth kingdom, the kingdom of God, which will overthrow the worldly system. This stone represents the Abrahamic family that grows and eventually smashes the statue at its feet. Jesus Christ is the one who will lead this kingdom, with all other powers beneath Him. We must focus on the glory of Jesus Christ and not be consumed by the wickedness of the world. In the story of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ, Peter, James, and John witness His glory. Similarly, we must fix our eyes on Jesus and be surrounded by the great cloud of witnesses mentioned in Hebrews Chapter 11. These heroes of faith inspire us to persevere in our race, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. The book of Revelation also provides a God's-eye view of the world. It shows us that Jesus has won the victory on the cross and will eventually execute the fullness of His victory on earth. The Lamb of God is on our side, and we cannot be defeated if we follow Him. Judgment may come to America and the world, but Jesus knows His people and will watch over them. The Book of Revelation speaks of Babylon's fall, and we can take heart in knowing that the wicked systems will eventually crumble. We are called to come out of the corrupt religious systems and follow Jesus. Ultimately, we can choose to focus on the negative or the positive. The Book of Revelation reveals a new heaven and a new earth, the holy city of New Jerusalem coming down from God, where He will dwell with His people. This is the glorious future that awaits us when Jesus returns. A songwriter penned these hopeful words: "I want to see Israel marching. I want to hear that kingdom call. I want to see Zion's mountain. I want to see Great Babylon fall. I want to see Jesus raining upon King David's royal throne. Or won't that be a glorious sight to see when Israel comes marching home?" This message of hope is what we need to hold onto as we face the trials of this world, knowing that Jesus Christ, our prophet, priest, and king, is coming again. Truth in History with Charles A.

Recently, Robert Caringola and I created a series of six programs discussing Historicism and the 70 weeks of Daniel, found in Daniel Chapter Nine. I would like to further elaborate on Historicism in connection with the Anglo-Israel message. Do they complement each other? My answer is a resounding yes. The 70 weeks of Daniel, or the 490-year period, refers only to the Judah Nation and the arrival of Christ at the perfect time. This includes His water baptism, the beginning of His ministry, and His crucifixion resurrection. This period ended at the stoning of Stephen and the entrance of Apostle Paul into the gospel story. What about the House of Israel, which represented all 13 tribes scattered abroad and commonly referred to as the lost ten tribes? All 13 tribes were dispersed throughout the Mediterranean world, into northwestern Europe, and the British Isles. James, in his book, acknowledges the existence of all 12 tribes in James 1:1, writing to the "12 tribes which are scattered abroad." Apostle Peter also recognizes their existence in 1 Peter 1:1, addressing the "strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father." They were chosen beforehand, as God had chosen Israel in the Old Testament. During his ministry and three missionary journeys, Apostle Paul preached to Israelites. It is evident when reading the books of Romans, Galatians, Ephesians, and Corinthians that he is speaking solely to Israelites. The teachings would not hold the same meaning for non-Israelite strangers or heathens. In Acts 26:6-7, Paul speaks before King Agrippa, stating that he stands judged for the hope of the promise made by God unto their Israelite forefathers. He believes that the promises made to these forefathers will be fulfilled in the 12 tribes living during the first century and beyond, down to us. The belief in the amalgamation theory, wherein the tribes were absorbed into the heathen nations and disappeared into oblivion, is a significant misconception, a lie created by those who do not believe in the Anglo-Israel message. They need to come up with an excuse to justify their disbelief. The question arises: how did the gospel reach Europe and Great Britain? In Acts 13:46, Paul and Barnabas boldly state that it was necessary for the Word of God to be spoken first to the Jews in Judea. However, seeing that the Jews rejected the Word, they turned to the Gentiles. Paul reiterates this in Acts 18:5-6. The Gentiles he refers to are the House of Jacob or the tribes of Israel, as mentioned in Isaiah 49. Paul was sent to preach to the House of Israel, making him a missionary to the Gentiles. There is historical evidence that Paul traveled to Great Britain, taking the gospel to the Israelites there. This supports the idea that the children of Israel are the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, and Scandinavian-related people. The Book of Revelation's historical setting takes place in Europe among the children of Israel. In Revelation Chapter 4, a heavenly scene with the throne of God is depicted. The chapter mentions four living creatures surrounding the throne: a lion, a man, a calf, and a flying eagle. These creatures symbolize the brigades of the tribes of Israel. The lion represents Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun; the man symbolizes Reuben, Simeon, and Gad; the calf stands for Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin; and the eagle signifies Dan, Asher, and Naphtali. These symbols represent the encampment of the tribes around the tabernacle, indicating that the heavenly scene involves all 12 tribes of Israel. In Revelation Chapter 7, the sealing of the tribes is mentioned. In verses 2-8, an angel with the seal of the living God is seen ascending from the east, instructing the four angels not to harm the earth, sea, or trees until the servants of God have been sealed on their foreheads. This sealing represents God's protection and ownership over His chosen people, the Israelites. The chapter goes on to list the 12 tribes that receive this seal, reaffirming their existence and significance in the Book of Revelation. As we examine the Book of Revelation and its historical context, it becomes clear that the Anglo-Israel message and Historicism are indeed connected. The Israelites, scattered throughout the Mediterranean world, northwestern Europe, and the British Isles, play a crucial role in the events described in the Book of Revelation. Through the ministries of Paul and other apostles, the gospel reached these regions, and the prophecies found in the scriptures were fulfilled among the children of Israel. In conclusion, the Anglo-Israel message and Historicism complement each other, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the scriptures and the role of the Israelite tribes in history and prophecy. By recognizing this connection, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the divine plan and the fulfillment of God's promises to His chosen people.

The focus of this discussion is on the 70 weeks prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27, which outlines the timeline for the arrival of the Messiah and the subsequent events. I argue that the prophecy has been fulfilled, and futurism, which predicts a future tribulation period and the rise of the Antichrist, is an incorrect interpretation of biblical prophecy. The 70 weeks are divided into three parts: seven weeks, 62 weeks, and a final week. The beginning of the timeline is the decree to rebuild Jerusalem. I believe that Sir Robert Anderson, in his book "The Coming Prince," accurately calculated the timeline to align with Jesus Christ's entry into Jerusalem as the Messiah. Anderson used the 360-day prophetic year and determined that the 69 weeks (seven plus 62) equated to 173,880 days, precisely the time between the decree and Christ's entry. Regarding the final week, I believe Jesus' baptism marked the beginning of the 70th week, followed by his three-and-a-half-year ministry. At the midpoint of this week, Jesus was crucified, causing the sacrifices and offerings to cease. I emphasize that Jesus' sacrifice fulfilled the six purposes of the prophecy mentioned in Daniel 9:24, including the end of sin, reconciliation, and the anointing of the Most Holy. I then discuss the events following Jesus' crucifixion, pointing out that the disciples knew and understood the prophecies pertaining to Christ. They recognized that the time for the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy was drawing near, which is why they wondered if John the Baptist was the Messiah. The disciples were also aware of the prophecies concerning the coming of the Holy Spirit, as seen in Acts 2:38. Next, I address the question of when God made his first recorded move towards the Gentiles. In Acts 8:5, Philip went to Samaria and preached the Gospel, despite Jesus' earlier instruction not to do so. I argue that this was not a rebellion but an indication that the prophetic restriction had been fulfilled. Paul and Barnabas also preached to the Gentiles, as recorded in Acts 13:45-47, demonstrating that the time had come for the Gospel to be shared with the nations. I challenge futurism, stating that if the 70 weeks prophecy has been fulfilled, there is no basis for a future tribulation period or the rise of the Antichrist. I criticize futurist interpretations for contradicting the 110th Psalm, which states that the Lord will remain at God's right hand until his enemies are made his footstool. In conclusion, I contend that the fulfillment of the 70 weeks prophecy provides a solid foundation for understanding biblical prophecy and the events that have yet to occur. I assert that Ezekiel's prophecies against Gog and Magog, found in Ezekiel 38-39, are on the verge of being fulfilled, indicating that the world is in the midst of the seventh vial of Revelation. I encourage you to study the Bible, particularly the King James Version, and to seek the truth about prophecy and the person of Jesus Christ. I criticize the Scofield Bible for promoting false interpretations of prophecy and suggest setting it aside in favor of versions that do not contain misleading notes. In summary, I argue that the 70 weeks prophecy in Daniel has been fulfilled, demonstrating the accuracy of the Bible and the centrality of Jesus Christ in God's plan. I urge you to study scripture and seek the truth, rejecting futurist interpretations that contradict the fulfilled prophecies of the Bible. Truth in History with Charles A.

Mind-Blowing Prophecy Unveiled: The Exact Moment Messiah Arrived – You Won't Believe It! In Daniel 9:26, after the initial 49 years and subsequent 430 years have transpired, we enter the final seven years of the prophecy. At this time, Messiah the Prince is expected to appear. The prophecy states that he will be cut off in the middle of the final week, signifying an abrupt and untimely nature to his death. This concept is supported in Isaiah 53:8, which mentions that the Messiah will be cut off from the land of the living. As a result, there will be punishment for this untimely death, which Jesus himself prophesied. Jesus understood the prophecy, knowing that it referred to his own abrupt death and the resulting severe punishment. This punishment would be executed by the Roman Prince, Titus, in 70 A.D. during the siege of Jerusalem. The siege began under Titus' father, Vespasian, in 66 A.D. and lasted for four years. When Vespasian was called back to Rome to become emperor, Titus took over the siege, becoming the Prince of Rome in the process. Daniel 9:27 goes on to describe how the Messiah will confirm a new covenant with the Jews for one week or seven years. This new covenant, which was promised in Jeremiah 31:31-33, was confirmed by Jesus at the Last Supper when he said his blood would be shed for the new covenant. The Apostle Paul also confirmed this in Romans 15:8, stating that Jesus Christ confirmed the promises made to the fathers. Jesus' earthly ministry lasted three and a half years, leaving another three and a half years to account for in the prophecy. During this time, Jesus exclusively focused on the Jews, as evidenced in Matthew 10 when he instructed his followers not to go into the way of the Samaritans. Paul reiterated this point in Romans 1:16, noting that the gospel was for the Jew first. As Jesus began his ministry, he was aware of the 70 weeks of Daniel and the timing of his prophesied arrival. This is evidenced in Mark 1:14-15, where Jesus stated that the time was fulfilled and the Kingdom of God was at hand. The fulfillment of these prophecies in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ lends credibility to the Bible and solidifies Jesus as the true Messiah. Understanding the 70 weeks of Daniel is crucial in authenticating the Bible and Jesus' role as the Messiah. The prophecies' fulfillment demonstrates the divine nature of the scriptures and reinforces the belief in Jesus as the one true Savior. By confirming the new covenant through his death on the cross, Jesus ensured salvation for all who believe in him. There is no need for another temple or animal sacrifice, as Jesus' sacrifice was once and for all. Truth in History with Charles A.

The Jesuit Conspiracy: How Futurism Hijacked Biblical Prophecy We are extremely passionate about the Historicist approach to prophecy because the Futurist view has negatively impacted the interpretation of prophecy in the evangelical church. We were disappointed to learn in Bible College that the Futurist approach is centered around the Jewish people and the 1948 Zionist state of Israel, missing the mark on both points. The Historicist approach, on the other hand, glorifies Jesus Christ, particularly in the Book of Daniel, chapter 9. Over the next few sessions, we will explore the six prophetic determinations found in Daniel 9:24, which have been known for 42 years. The Futurist interpretation was not considered for over 15 centuries, only gaining traction in the 16th century due to the scheming of the Jesuits. The Jesuits are highly intelligent but deceived and demonic in their works of darkness. The Futurist approach infiltrated Protestant theology, leading to a decline in the study of prophecy and an increase in fanciful speculation. The six prophetic determinations in Daniel 9:24 all point to Jesus Christ as the Messiah. The Futurist interpretation cannot account for these determinations, leading to confusion and misinterpretation. The Futurist approach falsely attributes these determinations to a hypothetical Antichrist who will supposedly come out of the United Nations or another world organization. The Historicist approach, by contrast, upholds these six determinations as messianic prophecies fulfilled by Jesus Christ. These determinations include finishing transgression, making an end of sins, making reconciliation for iniquity, bringing in everlasting righteousness, sealing up the vision and prophecy, and anointing the Most Holy. The Scriptures confirm that Jesus fulfilled each of these determinations, setting Him apart as the only promised begotten Son of God. The Futurist interpretation fails to properly apply these determinations to any other prophetic interpretation, resulting in a skewed understanding of prophecy. The Historicist approach, on the other hand, exalts Jesus Christ and points to Him as the fulfillment of these prophecies. It is our passion to share this truth and encourage further study of the Historicist approach to biblical prophecy, in the hope that it will exalt Jesus Christ and strengthen the faith of believers.
