Here are some key points to consider regarding the references in the Old Testament referring to Israel:

• Historical Perspective: In the Old Testament, the term "Israel" primarily refers to the ancient kingdom of Israel, which existed in the region thousands of years ago. This kingdom was made up of the twelve tribes of Israel and had a complex history chronicled in the Hebrew Bible from which the Old Testament in the Christian Bible originated. However, the Hebrew Bible and the more recent King James versions hold different interpretations of Israel according to different patterns of salvation

• Biblical Israel vs. Modern Israel: While the modern state of Israel was established in 1948, the biblical references to Israel encompass a much broader historical and theological context. The term "Israel" in the Old Testament can refer to the people of Israel, the land of Israel, the kingdom of Israel, or figuratively speaking, the spiritual concept of Israel as God's chosen people meaning Born Again Christians. As a consequence, the term Israel in the Old Testament more than likely refers to Christians who will be saved through the salvation plan of Jesus Christ.

• Continuity of Identity: Despite the temporal gap between the ancient biblical Israel and the modern state of Israel, there is a sense of continuity in terms of identity, heritage, and religious significance. Many Jews around the world today see themselves as part of the historical and spiritual legacy of biblical Israel.

• Prophecies and Fulfillment: Some religious interpretations particularly from some deceived fundamentalist Christians, see the establishment of the modern state of Israel as a fulfillment of biblical prophecies regarding the restoration of Israel. This perspective views the events of 1948 in the context of divine promises made to the ancient Israelites.

• Symbolic and Spiritual Significance: For many believers, the references to Israel in the Old Testament hold symbolic and spiritual significance beyond geopolitical boundaries. The idea of Israel as a chosen people or a promised land transcends historical timelines and resonates with themes of faith, covenant, and redemption. Simplified, the term Israel in the Old Testament more than likely refers to Christians who will be saved through the salvation plan of Jesus Christ and has nothing at all to do with the Israel of 1948.

The references to Israel in the Old Testament reflect a rich tapestry of history, theology, prophecy, and identity that continues to resonate with some but not all believers today Even as the modern state of Israel stands as a distinct entity in the contemporary world it now stands tarnished forever. Isolated from the rest of the world for the brutal acts of terror they are now committing against unarmed and defenceless Palestinians while they still go about stealing land that does not belong to them.

What do the references in the Old Testament referring to Israel have in common with the God of Christianity when it was not in existence at the time of its writing? For that matter flipping through the Old Testament in the Bible, it is quite noticeable that most of it precedes the arrival of Christ.

The establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948 raises some interesting questions about the references to Israel in the Old Testament, which predates the modern state of Israel by thousands of years. Also, it is very hard to find references to Israel in the New Testament which instead refers to the teachings of Christ and his plan for salvation.

That is the reason why is it difficult to find a Jew who will refer to the New Testament when their hearts still lay with the Old Testament unless they have found some alternative reason to do so such as profiteering from the sales of books or other end times materials, Otherwise, it is rare.

The difficulty in finding a Jew who will refer to the New Testament while their hearts still lay with the Old Testament stems from several key reasons:

1. Theological Differences: The Old Testament (Tanakh) is the sacred scripture of Judaism, while the New Testament is specific to Christianity. Jews do not consider the New Testament as part of their religious tradition, as it contains the teachings of Jesus Christ, whom they do not recognise as the Messiah.

2. Historical Context: Throughout history, there have been instances of persecution and discrimination against Jewish communities by individuals or groups who claimed to be acting in the name of Christianity. This has led to a deep-seated wariness or mistrust among some Jews regarding Christian texts, including the New Testament.

3. Interpretation of Scripture: Jews and Christians have different interpretations of many key theological concepts and scriptures. The differences in understanding the nature of God, the role of Jesus, and the concept of salvation make it challenging for Jews to relate to or accept the teachings of the New Testament.

4. Cultural Identity: For many Jews, their cultural and religious identity is closely tied to the traditions, laws, and narratives found in the Old Testament. Embracing the New Testament could be seen as a divergence from this identity and heritage.

5. Respect for Tradition: Jewish tradition places a strong emphasis on preserving and upholding their ancestral beliefs and practices. This can create a reluctance to engage with texts or teachings that are not part of their established religious framework.

While there may be individual Jews who study the New Testament out of academic curiosity or for interfaith dialogue purposes, the vast majority of observant Jews maintain a clear distinction between their sacred texts and those of Christianity, with their religious allegiance firmly rooted in the teachings of the Old Testament as you have revealed right here and right now.

It's worth noting that there are different interpretations of biblical prophecies and their relevance to current events. This includes the connection between Israel and the end times. However, it's challenging to find specific references about Israel's correlation to the end times in the New Testament. Despite claims that Jews who came from all over the world to inhabit Israel are God's chosen people, there is nothing significant in the New Testament to suggest this. According to some, Born Again Christians are considered God's chosen people, not Jews.

1. Interpretation Variations: Different religious denominations and scholars have varying interpretations of biblical prophecies, including those related to Israel and the end times. This can lead to a wide range of perspectives on the subject.

2. Complexity of Prophecy: Biblical prophecies, especially those related to the end times, can be complex and open to multiple interpretations. This complexity can make it challenging to definitively link specific events or countries to these prophecies.

3. Historical Context: The New Testament was written in a specific historical context, and its references to Israel may have had different meanings for the original audience compared to how they are interpreted today in relation to the end times.

4. Symbolism and Allegory: Some passages in the New Testament, including those related to the end times, use symbolism and allegory, which can make it difficult to draw direct correlations to specific countries or events in the modern world.

5. Focus on Spiritual Themes: The New Testament often emphasizes spiritual themes and the teachings of Jesus Christ rather than specific geopolitical events or nations. This focus on spiritual matters can make it challenging to find explicit references to modern-day countries like Israel in relation to the end times.

6. Diverse Perspectives: Scholars and theologians may have differing views on the relevance of Israel in end-times prophecy, leading to a lack of consensus on how to interpret and apply these prophecies to current events.

The interpretation of biblical prophecies, particularly those concerning Israel and the end times, is a complicated and intricate topic. There might not be any definitive references to these prophecies in the New Testament, and different people or groups may have their perspectives based on their theological beliefs and interpretation of scripture. I do not believe that Israel has any significance to the end times, although some practicing Jews may disagree. The majority prophecies regarding Israel have already been fulfilled with Israel becoming a nation in 1948. That’s that.

In Judaism, the concept of asking for forgiveness plays a significant role in the process of salvation, known as Teshuvah. While the idea of salvation may not be as central in Judaism as it is in Christianity, seeking forgiveness is considered essential for spiritual growth and reconciliation with both other people and with God. However, according to the word of God repentance is the only way to salvation and not asking for forgiveness.

Here are some key points regarding forgiveness and salvation in Judaism.

• Repentance (Teshuvah): In Judaism, the process of Teshuvah involves acknowledging one's mistakes, feeling genuine remorse, making amends with those who have been wronged, and committing to positive change by asking for forgiveness. By seeking forgiveness from others and God, individuals strive to improve themselves and their relationships. Once again; according to the word of God repentance is the only way to salvation and not asking for forgiveness.

• Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur): Yom Kippur is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, during which Jews engage in fasting, prayer, and reflection. It is a time for seeking forgiveness from God and for reflecting on one's actions over the past year. Yom Kippur emphasizes the importance of asking for forgiveness and atonement.

• Forgiveness from Others: In addition to seeking forgiveness from God, Judaism emphasizes the importance of seeking forgiveness from those whom one has wronged. It is believed that sincere apologies and efforts to make amends are crucial for repairing relationships and moving forward positively.

• Needless to say, I have never seen that in action with a mass grave of 400 murdered Palestinians being found in Gaza, including many children who had been buried alive. This is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord and he will not forgive these barbarous acts of brutality from the IDF and Netanyahu.

• Salvation: While the concept of salvation in Judaism differs vastly from other religions, the emphasis is often on leading a righteous life, following the commandments, and being accountable for one's actions. Salvation in Judaism is often seen as a collective rather than individual process, focusing on the well-being of the community and the world while the Bible places all emphasis on individual salvation,

Overall, while asking for forgiveness is an important aspect of Jewish tradition and practice, the concept of salvation in Judaism is multifaceted and does not align with the word of God. Asking for forgiveness, and striving to lead a moral and ethical life are key principles in Jewish teachings that have yet to be applied in the last two and a half thousand years.

The sacrifice of a red cow in Judaism is an ancient ritual known as the "Red Heifer" sacrifice. It is a substitution type of theology in Judaism where the cow takes the place of Christ dying on the cross. However, it does not supersede the death and resurrection of Christ on the cross and neither does it lead to salvation. Unfortunately, some Jews believe that it does.

Here are some key points to understand about this practice:

- Red Heifer Sacrifice: In Jewish tradition, the Red Heifer sacrifice is a purification ritual described in the Hebrew Bible (Numbers 19:1-22). The ashes of the sacrificed red cow were used for purification purposes, particularly in the context of ritual impurity caused by contact with a dead body.

- Symbolism: The Red Heifer sacrifice is seen as a symbol of purity and atonement in Jewish tradition. The ritual was believed to cleanse individuals from impurity and allow them to participate in religious ceremonies.

- Christ's Sacrifice: Some interpretations draw parallels between the sacrifice of the Red Heifer in Judaism and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ in Christianity. Both are seen as acts of atonement and purification, but the theological significance differs enormously between the two faiths with Christina the only way.

- Covenant Theology: Covenant theology is a theological framework that views God's relationship with humanity as structured around covenants. The Red Heifer sacrifice is not directly related to covenant theology as it primarily deals with ritual purity rather than covenants between God and people.

- Replacement Theology: Replacement theology, or supersessionism, is the belief that the Christian Church has replaced Israel in God's plan. The practice of the Red Heifer sacrifice does not align with replacement theology as it is a distinct ritual within Judaism.

In summary, the sacrifice of the Red Heifer in Judaism has a long history and specific significance within Jewish religious practice. While some parallels can be drawn between this ritual and Christian beliefs, it is important to recognize the unique theological contexts of each tradition. The idea of salvation is deeply personal and spiritual, and varies among religious beliefs and traditions. The path to salvation is not through Red Cow sacrifices but through the repentance of sin.

Here are some points to consider:

- Repentance: In the teachings of the Old and New Testaments, repentance is essential for seeking forgiveness of sin and spiritual renewal. It involves recognizing one's mistakes, feeling genuine remorse, and making efforts to change one's ways.

- Forgiveness: Asking for forgiveness is often seen as a crucial part of Judaism. However, forgiveness alone does not save. Seeking forgiveness from a higher power, from others, and even from oneself can be a powerful step towards healing and reconciliation. However, it still does not lead to the Kingdom of God as only the Lord can save and man is not a God within himself.

- Different Perspectives: The interpretation of religious teachings can vary widely among Christianity and Judaism. Christianity prioritizes specific actions such as repentance, while Judaism emphasizes the importance of seeking forgiveness through prayer, rituals, or other means such as Red Heifer sacrifices.

Ultimately, the path to salvation is not a complex and multifaceted concept that can differ greatly depending on one's spiritual beliefs and cultural background. Salvation through the Lord Jesus is the only way and not through Red Cow sacrifices. It is not essential to explore other ideas within the context of faith tradition or personal values.

When something is clearly understood by everyone, there might not be a need to argue or convince further. Here are some key points related to this:

- Clarity in Communication: When an idea or message is crystal clear, it leaves little room for misinterpretation.

- Convincing vs. Clarifying: Sometimes, people may try to convince others of something even when it is already evident or well understood.

- Intent and Perception: The intentions behind communication can sometimes be misinterpreted, leading to unnecessary arguments or attempts to convince others.

- Effective Communication: Effective communication aims to convey ideas clearly, ensuring that the message is understood without ambiguity.

- Avoiding Unnecessary Conflicts: Clear communication can help prevent misunderstandings and unnecessary conflicts that arise from miscommunication.

In summary, when something is clear and understood by all parties involved, there might not be a need to argue or convince further. Clarity in communication plays a key role in fostering understanding and avoiding unnecessary conflicts.

It is important to note that deliberately misleading others by making false claims is not an effective way of communicating as you have attempted to do by claiming this posting was not click bait but an intentional book advertisement which everyone can see it was anyway. Clear communication is about conveying ideas and messages accurately and truthfully, without resorting to dishonest tactics as you have done here. It was clickbait and so why lie about it?

Numbers 19:2 in the Old Testament describes a purification ritual where a red heifer without blemish was sacrificed. The ashes of the heifer were mixed with water and used to cleanse individuals who had come into contact with a dead body. This ritual was used to purify those who had become ritually impure according to the laws outlined in the Old Testament. However, the red heifer sacrifice pertains to certain factions within Judaism only. It should not be considered as a necessary part of Christianity or the way to attain salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mosaic Law specified that the red heifer to be sacrificed was to be "without defect or blemish" and to have never borne a yoke (Numbers 19:2). The red heifer, also known as the red cow, was sacrificed by the priests as a sacrifice to Yahweh. The red heifer itself prophetically points to Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah and His death on the execution stake. It is considered a type and shadow of Jesus Christ. However, it is still practiced to this day by some unsaved Jews as a replacement for and instead of Christ sadly for those involved. 

The current practice of red cow sacrifices taking place today in Israel has only to do with far-right-wing Israeli groups who have been planning to sacrifice a red cow in the hope of fulfilling a Jewish prophecy. One organization in particular intends to slaughter red heifers at Al Aqsa Mosque in an attempt to replace it and build a New Temple. There is nothing in the Bible relating to the rebuilding of a Third Temple in Jerusalem. However, it is important to note that these plans and beliefs are specific to certain groups and are not universally accepted among all Jews within Israel and only by some misguided Christians who are not truly been Born Again.

The Old Testament is the first part of the Christian Bible, which is largely based on the Hebrew Bible and relates mainly to Israel. It consists of books that were written before the birth of Jesus Christ. The New Testament, on the other hand, is the second part of the Christian Bible and focuses on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the early Christian Church.

The Old Testament contains numerous prophecies that are believed to have been fulfilled in the New Testament. For example, the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem was foretold in the Old Testament. Many events, characters, and themes in the Old Testament are seen as foreshadowing or pointing to events in the New Testament. For instance, the sacrifice of lambs in the Old Testament is seen as a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ as the sacrificial Lamb of God in the New Testament.

Both the Old and New Testaments contain teachings on morality, faith, and spirituality. The Old Testament provides the foundation for many of the moral and spiritual principles that are further developed in the New Testament. The New Testament is seen by Christians as the fulfillment of the promises and covenants made in the Old Testament. Jesus often referred to Old Testament scriptures and teachings to emphasize the continuity between the two parts of the Bible.

Christians view the Old and New Testaments as part of a unified plan of salvation orchestrated by God. The themes of redemption, forgiveness, and reconciliation run through both parts of the Bible, showing the consistency of God's character and plan throughout history. In summary, the Old Testament and the New Testament are intricately connected, with the New Testament building upon and fulfilling many of the themes, prophecies, and teachings found in the Old Testament.

 Several factors can contribute to feelings of annoyance. Here are some common causes of annoyance:

• Noise: Loud noises from construction, traffic, neighbors, or machinery can be a significant source of annoyance.

• Disorganization: Messy environments or disorganized spaces can lead to frustration and annoyance.

• Inconsiderate Behavior: People who are rude, disrespectful, or inconsiderate can easily trigger feelings of annoyance.

• Delays: Waiting in long lines, traffic jams, or for someone who is running late can be irritating.

• Jewish traditions: Some Christian converts of Jewish ancestry try to incorporate Jewish traditions, customs and festivals into mainline Christianity, which might be rejected by certain Fundamentalist Born Again Christians who find such teachings undesirable. 

• Repetitive Sounds: Constant tapping, clicking, or other repetitive sounds can grate on one's nerves.

• Unpleasant Odors: Strong smells from cooking, garbage, or chemicals can be irritating and cause annoyance.

• Interruptions: Constant interruptions while working or trying to concentrate can lead to annoyance.

• Miscommunication: Unclear communication, misunderstandings, or misinterpretations can frustrate and annoy individuals.

Two American politicians, Kari Lake and Tom Cotton, have been accused of inciting violence while supporting the Trump MAGA campaign. However, their alleged actions may not be of concern for the rest of the world. Nevertheless, opinions on this matter may vary.

Some say the internal USA politics often concerns the rest of the world for several reasons:

1. Global Impact: The United States is a major global power with a significant influence on international politics, economics, and security. Decisions made in U.S. politics can have far-reaching effects on other countries and regions.

2. Trade and Economy: U.S. economic policies, trade agreements, and market trends can impact economies worldwide. Changes in regulations, tariffs, or economic stimulus packages can affect global trade and financial markets.

3. Foreign Policy: The U.S. plays a key role in shaping international relations through its foreign policy decisions, military engagements, and diplomacy. Actions taken by the U.S. government can have implications for global peace and stability.

4. Climate Change and Environment: U.S. policies on climate change, environmental regulations, and energy production can influence global efforts to address environmental challenges. International cooperation on climate issues often involves the U.S.

5. Security and Defense: The U.S. is a major player in global security, with a significant military presence and involvement in international conflicts. Decisions on defense spending, alliances, and military interventions can impact global security dynamics.

6. Human Rights and Democracy: The U.S. often advocates for human rights and democracy worldwide, so its internal political developments can affect how it engages with other countries on these issues.

7. Technological Innovation: The U.S. is a leader in technological innovation, with many of the world's top tech companies based there. Policies related to technology, data privacy, and cybersecurity can have implications for global tech industries and consumers.

The United States' internal politics are closely monitored globally due to the country's significant influence on various aspects of global affairs. The actions and statements of political figures within the US can have far-reaching implications and are often scrutinized by international observers.

With regards to your mention of MAGA leaders Kari Lake and Tom Cotton encouraging vigilante violence, it is important to note that any endorsement or incitement of violence by public figures is a serious concern. Such actions can have a destabilizing effect on society, and undermine democratic norms and the rule of law.

While individual incidents like these may not always directly impact global affairs on a large scale, they can contribute to a broader narrative about the state of politics and governance in the United States. Instances of political leaders promoting or condoning violence can erode trust in institutions, sow division among the populace, and set dangerous precedents for the future.

Leaders at all levels must promote unity, respect for the rule of law, and a commitment to peaceful and democratic processes. Upholding these principles is essential not only for the well-being of the USA but also for maintaining its credibility and influence on the world stage.

There must be an organization to hold states accountable, including Israel. The UN is honourable, but corruption can occur due to greed.

Addressing the accountability of rogue states and ensuring international order is indeed a complex issue that involves the cooperation of multiple entities. Here are some points to consider:

• The United Nations (UN) is the primary international organization responsible for maintaining peace and security among nations. It has various mechanisms in place to address rogue states' behavior, such as sanctions, peacekeeping missions, and diplomatic efforts.

• The UN Security Council plays a crucial role in addressing threats to international peace and security. However, the Council's effectiveness can be hindered by the veto power of its permanent members (China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States), which can lead to gridlock in decision-making.

• International law, including treaties, conventions, and customary international law, provides a framework for holding rogue states accountable for their actions. Bodies like the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) can adjudicate disputes and prosecute individuals for international crimes.

• Regional organizations, such as the African Union, European Union, and Organization of American States, also play a role in addressing regional security challenges and holding member states accountable to shared norms and values.

• Civil society organizations, human rights groups, and the media play a vital role in raising awareness about human rights abuses and holding governments accountable for their actions. Public pressure can sometimes lead to changes in government behavior.

• Economic sanctions imposed by coalitions of countries can be an effective tool to pressure rogue states to change their behavior. However, sanctions should be carefully targeted to avoid harming the civilian population.

• Dialogue and diplomatic efforts are essential in resolving conflicts and addressing the root causes of rogue behavior. Engaging in constructive dialogue and negotiations can help build trust and find peaceful solutions to disputes.

In conclusion, addressing the behavior of rogue states requires a multifaceted approach involving international organizations, legal frameworks, regional cooperation, civil society engagement, and diplomatic efforts. While challenges exist, concerted international action and cooperation are essential to promoting accountability and upholding international norms and values.
