Who Is Your Mother? - Israeli Air Strikes



WHO IS YOUR MOTHER? – ISRAELI AIR STRIKES

Who is your mother?  As emphasized by Paul in Galatians 4:22-31, Abraham had two sons, the first named Ishmael and his mother was the slave woman named Hagar.  The second son, who was of the Promise, was named Isaac and his mother was the free woman named Sarah.

Paul tells us in plain language that he was speaking allegorically, and not literally. Hagar is the Old Covenant, corresponding to both Mount Sinai and Jerusalem. Sarah is the New Covenant, corresponding to the Jerusalem that is above i.e. the New Jerusalem.

That is, the "children" of the physical city of Jerusalem are those who remain bound by the Old Covenant, but the "children" of the heavenly Jerusalem are set free by the New Covenant. Judaism, then, can only produce Ishmaels, children of the bondwoman, born according to the flesh. True Christianity, on the other hand, can only produce Isaacs, the "children of promise" (4:28).

Galatians 4:22-31 NET For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. (23) But one, the son by the slave woman, was born by natural descent, while the other, the son by the free woman, was born through the promise. (24) These things may be treated as an allegory, for these women represent two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai bearing children for slavery; this is Hagar. (25) Now Hagar represents Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. (26) But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. (27) For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren woman who does not bear children; break forth and shout, you who have no birth pains, because the children of the desolate woman are more numerous than those of the woman who has a husband." (28) But you, brothers and sisters, are children of the promise like Isaac. (29) But just as at that time the one born by natural descent persecuted the one born according to the Spirit, so it is now. (30) But what does the scripture say? "Throw out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the son" of the free woman. (31) Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.

What groups of people are bound by the Old Covenant and the physical city of Jerusalem?  Definitely the Israeli’s referring to themselves as Jews and the additional Zionist Jews around the world.  The Zionist Christians can also be added to this list, particularly John Hagee and his like-minded followers.

The problem comes when Christians, who are supposed to be children of Sarah, revert back to the fleshly claims of Ishmael. Such Christians become children of the bondwoman, Hagar. In essence, they claim to be of Sarah, but their beliefs and practices show that they really desire to be of Hagar instead.

Because there are two Jerusalems, one physical and the other heavenly, Christians are called upon to choose their mother. They may either claim Hagar or Sarah. In the early Church this was one of the key issues that threatened to divide the Church. And Paul was in the midst of that dispute.

The book of Hebrews shows us how to move from the old way to the new. In fact, it was even called "Hebrews," because a Hebrew literally means an immigrant, one who crosses over to another place. It shows us that God replaced the Levitical priesthood with a new order called the Melchizedek Order (Heb. 5:10), of which Jesus, who was of the tribe of Judah, became the High Priest. If Levi still had the priestly calling, then Jesus was not qualified to be its high priest.

Hebrews 5:10 NET and he was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

The New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant, in the mind of God. The Old had been broken, as Jeremiah had prophesied, and so the people needed a better covenant.  This New Covenant came through the heavenly Jerusalem, not the physical city.

When men try to fuse the two cities and the two covenants, they are attempting to claim both Sarah and Hagar as their mother. This cannot be done, for in the end, no man can have two mothers. God does not recognize Judeo-Christianity any more than He would recognize a son of Hagar-Sarah. To become a Christian, one must renounce Judaism and leave Hagar.

In the past 150 years we have witnessed a growing "messianic" movement that has brought Hagar back into contention as the mother of us all. Teachers have arisen, telling us that Jerusalem will soon become the mother of the Kingdom in the Age to come. They say that a new physical temple will be rebuilt there, and that Jesus will rule the earth from that location. They say that Levitical priests will be called once again to offer animal sacrifices. Many have reverted to the idea that Christians ought to practice Judaism and only add Jesus to the old religion.

Galatians 4:30-31  But what does the scripture say? "Throw out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will not share the inheritance with the son" of the free woman. (31) Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman but of the free woman.

God first cast out the bondwoman in 70 A.D. He is preparing to do so again today. The destruction of Jerusalem was prophesied in Jer. 19:10-11 and described as a nuclear war in Isaiah 29:5-6. Why is such destruction necessary? Because Christians have brought Hagar back and claimed her as their mother. Or, more properly, Christians have claimed to have two mothers. They have appealed to God and set forth their case before the Divine Court.

God will indeed make a ruling. His ruling will not be different from His previous ruling in 70 A.D. Hagar is NOT the mother of the Kingdom, nor can she ever be the mother of the inheritors in Christ. The Old Jerusalem is NOT the New Jerusalem. The old Levitical order will never replace the Melchizedek Order, whose high priest is Jesus Christ. Animal sacrifices will never replace the one true Sacrifice which Jesus made on the cross.

We will NOT go back to Egypt, even if that is the carnal tendency of Christians today. The book of Hebrews makes it clear that all of these old religious forms under the Old Covenant have been replaced by something better under the New. Modern Christians ought not to disagree with the book of Hebrews and attempt to revert back to the old forms found in Judaism. If Jews wish to remain as spiritual Ishmaelites, that is their business, and I will respect that, but Christians have little or no excuse.

In fact, these Zionist Christians are a primary reason God must destroy Jerusalem once again (but not the only reason).

Jeremiah 19 prophesizes of the destruction of Jerusalem.  Some claim it has already been fulfilled and it has – first by the Babylonians and then by the Romans.  Each time it has been rebuilt.  However, the third future time it is destroyed will be the final time.

Jeremiah 19:10-11 NET The LORD continued, "Now break the jar in front of those who have come here with you. (11) Tell them the LORD who rules over all says, 'I will do just as Jeremiah has done. I will smash this nation and this city as though it were a potter's vessel which is broken beyond repair. The dead will be buried here in Topheth (Gehenna) until there is no more room to bury them.'

Isaiah 29 appears to indicate that Jerusalem and the surrounding areas will be destroyed by a nuclear hit.  The nuclear perpetrator is unknown although Saudi Arabia has been guessed as the culprit.

ISRAELI AIR STRIKES ON SYRIA

The following articles pertaining to the recent Syrian air strikes by Israel may either be considered as true news or fake news.  It can be assumed that new weaponry and equipment transferred to Syria by Russia may prove that Israel is lying and VT is telling the truth.  If the VT claims are true then Israel may be in a tight spot and their ruthlessness may soon be called out and eliminated.

It can be said that Israel should have been satisfied, at some point, with their land acquisitions and call a halt to their Palestinian harassment.  It appears, however, that enough is never enough for the so-called Jews and their endgame must ultimately be eliminated.

Mystery Babylon is being dismantled, much slower than I originally anticipated.  Mr. Trump is draining the DC swamp, but again, much slower than I anticipated.  Although I am not in favor of anyone being killed, the destruction of Jerusalem would be an intense game changer for the world, the Arabs, and the DC swamp which is largely controlled by Zionist Jews and Zionist Christians.

Veteran’s Today    We have all heard the official narrative of the Israeli airstrike on Syria now, thanks to the ever-compliant MSM; an Iranian drone, controlled from a Syrian airbase, violated Israeli airspace so the Israeli airforce struck the Iranian control centre, destroying it and sending a stark message to Damascus and Tehran not to mess with Israel, even if it is a single, unarmed drone.

BBC News
Israeli air strikes against Syria 'biggest since 1982'
Israel says it has inflicted huge damage on Syrian air defences after one of its fighter jets was brought down during a raid over Syria.

The response was the "most significant attack" of its kind against Syria since the 1982 Lebanon war, said senior Israeli air force general Tomer Bar.

The F-16 jet went down during a mission that followed an Iranian drone launch into Israeli territory, Israel says.

The two pilots parachuted to safety before the crash in northern Israel.
Israel says it responded with a second wave of strikes on both Syrian and Iranian military targets operating inside Syria.

Israeli air strikes in Syria are not unusual, BBC Middle East correspondent Tom Bateman says, but the loss of an Israeli fighter jet marks a serious escalation.


Huffington Post
Israel Launches Heavy Air Strikes On Syria After Fighter Jet Crashes


JERUSALEM/BEIRUT (Reuters) - Israel launched heavy air strikes in Syria on Saturday, saying it hit air defenses and Iranian targets, and the Syrian army claimed to have brought down an Israeli F-16 that crashed in northern Israel in a major escalation of tension.

The Israeli military said early assessments indicated the jet had been shot down by Syrian fire, but this was still unconfirmed.

Israel’s air force has targeted Syrian military and Hezbollah targets in Syria on an almost regular basis, but its attacks on Saturday appeared to be the most intense yet.

Referring to the downed Israeli F-16, an official in the pro-Assad alliance said a “message” had been delivered to Israel. “I do not believe matters will develop to a regional war,” the official said.

Veteran’s Today    However, in the last 2 hours, information from sources on the ground inside Syria paint a very different picture of events.

They report that the Israeli airstrike was a complete failure, that Syrian loses are very minimal with the only notable damage being a large explosion at a mortar depot near Damascus.

The Israeli airstrike was unable to penetrate far into Syrian airspace as the Israeli ECM systems failed to counter the Syrian radars, resulting in most Israeli warplanes dropping their weapon loads harmlessly over southern Syria due to the heavy fire from the Syrian Air Defenses.

The huge failure of the Israeli air strike, forced Tel-Aviv to launch another attack, that also failed ignominiously.

In short, the Israeli strike force dropped their encumbering load of bombs and got the hell out of there, at least two of their number were hit and one of them subsequently crashed in Israel, the pilots surviving but very badly injured.
Contrary to the Israeli claims of having destroyed the ‘Iranian control system’ that they claim guided a drone into Israeli airspace, no ‘Iranian control system’ was hit at the T4 airbase, the vehicle that was hit was an empty, abandoned caravan.

Veteran’s Today - Editor’s note: Yesterday, Gordon (Duff) and I (Ian Greenhalgh) reported what the world’s media knows but will not say – that the Israeli airstrikes on Syria were a complete failure where no targets were hit and the Israeli planes failed to breach the Syrian air defences, rather, they flew straight into a hail of fire, shit themselves and dropped their bombs so they could make a run for the safety of Israeli airspace – they could run much faster without the encumbrance of heavy weapons loads.

The official line has the Israelis hitting a dozen targets and destroying Iranian and Syrian assets, all a lie; a desperate and pathetic attempt to prop up the ailing Netanyahu regime as it teeters on the brink of collapse due to the criminal investigations into Netanyahu and his wife which are drawing ever closer to the point of arresting and impeaching the Israeli leader.

The Iranian security chief has commented on the Israeli airstrikes in Syria on February 10, which triggered retaliatory fire from Syrian air defense.

“The Syrian nation proved this time that it will respond to any act of aggression, as the era of hit and run is over,” Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council told reporters in Tehran on Sunday, speaking on the sidelines of rallies marking the victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.

The official went on by responding to Israel’s Defense Forces’ report of attacks against “additional Iranian targets in Syria,” referring to an alleged Iranian drone in the area.
“The claim by the Zionists (that they have carried out sorties) to damage Iranian bases in Syria is a lie,” Ali Shamkhani stated, adding that Iran had an “advisory, not a military presence” in Syria, the security official reiterated, denying Israeli allegations that its warplanes had scrambled in reaction to an Iranian drone.

Shamkhani explained that no forces would fly military jets to hit a drone.

  1. Two phrases have been repeating in my spirit for months, in the Hebrew tongue:

    ro'e sho kah tanah mah hey

    I / you m. sg. / he / it see(s) destruction / desolation here perhaps recount, rehearse, lament what look, reveal, breath from the idea of revealing a great sight by pointing it out.

    bo ra' sho bo ra' hey

    come adversity destruction / desolation come adversity look, reveal, breath from the idea of revealing a great sight by pointing it out.

    ro'e pah pah na mah na hey

    I / you m. sg. / he / it see(s) a trap / noose a trap / noose I (we) pray, now what / how long I (we) pray, now look, reveal, breath from the idea of revealing a great sight by pointing it out.
