How To Be Saved

How To Be Saved Many people wonder how they can be saved from the consequences of their sins and have eternal life. The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned by human efforts or merits. Salvation is based on God's grace and mercy, which He offers to anyone who believes in His Son, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again from the dead, proving His power over sin and death. Anyone who confesses their sins, repents of their wrongdoings, and trusts in Jesus Christ as their only way to God will be saved. Salvation is not a one-time event, but a lifelong relationship with God that involves obedience, growth, and service. To be saved, one must follow the steps below: 1. Recognize that you are a sinner and that you need God's forgiveness. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 2. Acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died for your sins and rose again from the dead. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." 3. Repent of your sins and turn away from your old way of living. Acts 3:19 says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." 4. Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by faith. Romans 10:9 says, "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." 5. Confess your faith in Jesus Christ publicly and join a local church where you can grow in your knowledge and love of God. Matthew 10:32 says, "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

Israel is now facing theatres of war on seven fronts, a situation that poses unprecedented challenges and risks for its national security and regional stability. The seven fronts are: the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Yemen. On each of these fronts, Israel faces different enemies, threats and scenarios, ranging from rocket attacks, terrorist infiltrations, cyber warfare, proxy wars and nuclear ambitions. Israel has to deal with these threats simultaneously, while also managing its relations with its allies and partners, such as the United States, Egypt, Jordan and the Gulf states. Israel's strategy is to deter its adversaries, defend its borders, disrupt their capabilities and diplomacy their interests. However, this strategy is not without costs and consequences, as it may escalate the conflicts, provoke retaliation, alienate potential mediators and undermine international legitimacy. Israel's challenge is to balance its security needs with its political goals, and to find ways to de-escalate the tensions and pursue dialogue and cooperation with its neighbours.

The recent escalation of violence between Israel and Gaza has put the Jewish state in a difficult position, both diplomatically and militarily. On one hand, Israel faces international criticism and pressure for its airstrikes on densely populated areas, which have killed hundreds of civilians and displaced thousands more. On the other hand, Israel faces a relentless barrage of rockets from Hamas and other militant groups, which have targeted its major cities and disrupted its daily life. Israel claims that it has the right to defend itself from these attacks, but also that it seeks to restore calm and avoid further casualties. However, achieving both goals seems increasingly challenging, as the conflict has no clear end in sight and the prospects for a lasting peace remain dim.

The global situation for Israel has become very uncertain and risky. The country faces many challenges and threats from different regions and actors, such as Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria, Turkey, and the Palestinian Authority. Israel also has to deal with the changing attitudes and policies of its allies, such as the United States, the European Union, and some Arab states. Israel needs to find ways to protect its security and interests, while also pursuing peace and cooperation with its neighbours.

Israel is facing a difficult situation on the world stage, as many countries are criticising its policies and actions. Some people believe that praying for divine intervention may help Israel overcome its challenges, but this does not change the reality of the situation. Israel still needs to deal with the consequences of its decisions and the reactions of other nations. Divine intervention may provide some comfort and hope, but it is not a substitute for realistic and pragmatic solutions.

It would not phase me in the slightest to see Israel dealt the same type of Justice by Putin they have been dealing to defenseless Palestinians.

However, the beast of all beasts, the liar of all liars, Benjamin Netanyahu is adamant that he will continue with his atrocities by butchering as many Palestinian citizens as possible. Rounding up as many men and boys as possible, he is subjecting them to humiliation and torture that would put even the Nazis to shame. Hitler disposed of as many Jews as he could in a manner that was as clean and quick. This animal is going way beyond the pale in every way possible with his acts of pure barbarism.

As the Jews await their Messiah, we can now be confident that he has arrived and will sign the covenant of Daniel in 2024 and then decimate the planet with a war to end all wars. Christians call the Jewish Messiah the Antichrist and mid-way through the seven years he will break the covenant and unleash a wave of disaster upon Israel as yet unimaginable.

The Jewish Messiah is a concept that refers to a future leader of the Jewish people who will fulfill the prophecies and promises of the Hebrew Bible. The Messiah is expected to be a descendant of King David, to restore the sovereignty and independence of Israel, and according to some rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem to usher in an era of peace and justice for all humanity. The Jewish Messiah is not a divine or supernatural being, but a human being chosen by God to accomplish His will.

The Jewish concept of the Messiah differs from the Christian one, which identifies Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah. Christ was not a Jew in other words. Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah because he did not fulfill the criteria of the Hebrew Bible, such as bringing about the redemption of Israel and the world. Jews also reject the idea that the Messiah is God incarnate or part of a Trinity, which contradicts the Jewish belief in the absolute unity and uniqueness of God.

The Jewish Messiah is not a predetermined figure who will appear at a fixed time, but a potential one who will emerge when the conditions are right. According to some Jewish sources, there are two possible Messiahs: one from the line of Joseph, who will fight the enemies of Israel and prepare the way for the final redemption; and one from the line of David, who will complete the task and reign as king. Some Jews believe that the Messiah has already been born, but is hidden until his mission is revealed. Others believe that the Messiah will come only when all Jews repent and observe God's commandments.

One of the most controversial topics in Christian eschatology is the identity of the Antichrist, the ultimate enemy of God and his people. According to some interpretations of biblical prophecies, the Antichrist will be a political and religious leader who will deceive many people and oppose Christ in the end times. However, not all Christians agree on who or what the Antichrist is or will be. Some Christians, especially those who hold a dispensationalist view of prophecy, (which I do not) believe that the Antichrist will be a Jewish Messiah who will claim to be the true Christ and will be accepted by the Jewish people as their long-awaited deliverer. They base this view on passages such as Daniel 9:27, 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, and Revelation 13:1-18, which they interpret as describing a future covenant, temple, and beast that are associated with the Antichrist. They also point to Jesus' words in John 5:43, where he said: "I have come in my Father's name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him." They argue that this implies that the Jews will reject Jesus as their Messiah and will instead welcome a false one who will come in his own name and authority.

Christianity emerged from Judaism as a messianic movement that proclaimed Jesus as the Christ, the anointed one of God. Christians share many beliefs and scriptures with Jews, (I do not) and allege to owe much of their faith to their Jewish roots. (I do not believer that is so). To label the Jewish Messiah as the Antichrist is to deny the common ground and heritage that some deceived Christians have with Jews, and to foster a spirit of hostility and antagonism towards Jews that contradicts the message of love and reconciliation that Jesus taught.
