Update On “Last Man Standing” on ABC

Breaking: ABC Gets Massive Bad News After Canceling Tim Allen’s Conservative Show – Boycott Has Begun

Tim Allen is one of the few open conservatives in Hollywood, and his sitcom “Last Man Standing” was one of the few shows on TV that didn’t kowtow to the liberal agenda. So, when it was canceled by ABC in spite of high ratings, the political aspect did not go unnoticed by those on the right.

If ABC executives thought the furor would die down and Americans would quickly forget, however, they were dead wrong. The network now faces two huge petitions and a boycott, as well as a surprising statement of support for Allen by a sitting governor.

A petition on Change.org that collected over 100,000 signatures by Tuesday morning after being launched Friday noted that “Last Man Standing” is “a show that appeals to a broad swath of Americans who find very few shows that extol the virtues with which they can identify; namely conservative values.”

“‘Last Man Standing’ is one of the only shows on broadcast television, and the only sitcom, that is not constantly shoving liberal ideals down the throats of the viewers. And sadly, that is likely the real reason the show has been canceled,” it continued.

According to The Daily Wire, a similar petition on PetitionCongress.org demanded a congressional investigation.

“With a plethora of ultra-liberal shows available on television, this show stood out from the rest and motivated conservatives who voted for President Trump,” the petition read. “Please demand that Congress investigate whether LMS was canceled for political reasons.”

While I’m not quite sure Congress would be the appropriate vehicle for an investigation, at least one GOP governor has noted that he thinks ABC’s decision is based on politics: Scott Walker of Wisconsin.

I can just see the hustle bustle in the board room of ABC, with the CEO and his accountants asking:  “Where did all these Conservatives come from?”

OH, we’re out here.  Thought you would have gotten a clue from the last election.

It’s not till it hits you in the pocketbook that you take notice huh?

The Map the U.N. Does Not Want You To See: Nations With the Most Refugees Have the Most Terrorist Attacks

When I first saw the title to this zerohedge.com article, I shook my head and wondered why this should come as a surprise to anyone. But alas, the leftwing liberals will ignore it – after all, it is a hard task to remove one’s head from the sand.

I know that the plan to scatter migrant Muslims to countries all over the planet was conceived in the devil’s house – the United Nations.  But why would they come up with such a plan?  It is and has always been to destabilize the nations; to get them ready for globalism.

It’s really not rocket science at all.

But the left wing sheeple buy anything that comes out of the U.N. – lock stock and barrel.  These are the people who have no idea what is happening in this world, and they really don’t care. They only watch the left wing media.  They have their ideology and they stick to it and defend it like a mother lion defends her cubs. They are deceived by the evil one, and many have been given over by God to a reprobate mind – forever.

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient” (Romans 1:28).

The Map They Don’t Want You To See: Nations With The Most Refugees Have The Most Terror Attacks

The globalists who run the governments and the media outlets in Europe will never admit the truth about the refugee crisis. They’ll never admit that there is a direct link between opening their nation’s borders to people from chaotic war-torn nations, and horrific terrorist attacks. They’re constantly reassuring their citizens that they have nothing to worry about from refugees who come from terror prone regions, and to suggest otherwise is racist and Islamophobic.

In fact, rather than admitting that the refugee community is riddled with terrorist sympathizers, and that this is a problem that needs to be addressed, the globalist try to normalize terrorism.

In Sweden, the government tries to rehabilitate and reintegrate ISIS fighters who have returned to their country. They give them free “housing, employment, education and financial support” rather than throwing them in jail. And in the UK, London mayor Sadiq Kahn has tried to convince everyone that terror attacks are “part and parcel of living in a big city.”

In reality, terrorism isn’t a normal part of living in a big city, or anywhere else for that matter, and it certainly shouldn’t be normalized. Instead, the source of these attacks should be addressed. And the main source of terrorism in the Western world is clearly the millions of unvetted migrants who have arrived here. The proof of this fact is in the form of map that you will never see in any mainstream news channel or publication.

The nations that have become the hottest destinations for refugees, are also the nations with the most terrorist attacks. France, Germany, Sweden, and the UK are brimming with terror incidents. Meanwhile, countries that didn’t take in so many refugees, like Poland, Slovakia, and the Baltic states, have very few terrorist attacks or none at all.

If you click on the link provided above the image, and scroll around the map, you’ll find that there are only few European countries that have faced numerous terror related incidents, despite not admitting very many refugees. There’s Ireland, where most of those red and orange dots appear to be foiled bomb plots; most likely related to Irish dissidents. In the Czech Republic, the handful of attempted attacks were caused by leftist radicals. And in Ukraine, most of the attacks are related to that nation’s internal struggle with Russian separatists.

Obviously there’s a link between admitting countless refugees from the Middle East, and domestic terrorist attacks. Our government knows this as well. For instance, a few days before FBI director James Comey was ousted by Trump, he stood before a Senate committee and admitted that 15% of his agency’s terror related investigations involved refugees. That’s a shocking number when you consider that the US admitted 85,000 refugees last year, and the percentage of the population that would consider themselves to be refugees is probably less than 1%.

The solution to this problem is obvious, and it’s a solution that Western globalists will never consider. Either we thoroughly vet refugees who want to flee to our country, or we don’t let them in at all. – source

As I remind the brethren in most of my articles- God is in full control of this world. Many of these horrific events which happen to people are allowed by our God. Every single one of His prophecies will come to fruition.

 He cannot lie.

Do You Long For His Appearing? This Is A Trait Of A TRUE Believer

I was starting an article today, when I felt the Lord speak to my heart that I needed to watch Amir Tsarfati’s latest prophecy update. I have never had anything like this happen to me as I write my articles.

I turned on Amir’s update and listened to it while I baked bread in my kitchen. I began to doubt that I had truly heard from the Lord; but suddenly toward the end of the video, I realized that Amir was speaking the words which God wanted me to hear and then write about.

Do you Long for His appearing?

Look at Paul’s words in 2 Timothy:

 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:  Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing  (2 Timothy 4:6-8).  (emphasis added)

Again I ask “Do you love and long for His appearing?”  Or are you regretting having to leave behind earthly riches and money? Do you think about our Lord Jesus throughout the day?  Is there an excitement within you that His return is imminent?

I am not trying to make anyone feel guilty.  I am attempting to help to expose a person’s heart:

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:  But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:  For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:19-21).

This Scripture from Matthew is not telling us to own “nothing.”  It is a “heart check”  wherefore a person must look deep within their own hearts to see if their earthly belongings have an unhealthy hold upon them. These “things” will burn up and are not eternal.  The Gift bestowed upon us by Jesus Christ of Eternal Life in heaven with Him will never perish.  There really is no comparison.

But if you secretly mourn the loss of earthly treasures when you think of His imminent appearing; then you really do need to check your spiritual health.

Remember Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 4, where he speaks of “Them who love His appearing.” Paul would not have emphasized those words if they were not of utmost importance.

Are you a true Christian or are you going through the motions?

If you have never come before the Lord with a repentant heart – agreeing with Him that you are a sinner in need of a Savior; and asked Him to come into your life to make you into the person God desires – then I must tell you that you have not been born again from above.

Going to church, giving to the poor, being a “good deed doer” does not get one right with our Father in heaven. Those are wonderful things to do – but they will not get you into the family of God.  After we are saved, we naturally want to do good things for God out of a grateful heart.

Amir’s Prophecy Update:

If you have read this article and have been convicted in your heart that you are not truly saved, here is what the Word says to do:

How Can I Be Saved?

The time of the Rapture of God’s church is imminent. That means that it could happen at any time.  Only the Father knows the day, the hour, the second that He will tell His Son to go and get us.

BE READY!

Hebrew Roots Teachers Continue To Deceive Christians – This Is Truly A Different Gospel

Have you been deceived by the “Hebrew Roots” movement?  Don’t feel alone.  Many  Christians have been fooled by this apostasy.  Many believers who truly love Yeshua (Jesus) and the Jewish people, are prime targets to be drawn into the Hebrew Roots movement.

I’m an ethnic Jew who came to Christ in 1983.  I did not give up being a Jew when I repented and trusted Jesus for the forgiveness of my sins.  I wrote my testimony years ago.  You can read it here:

From Jew To Completed Jew

I’ve never felt the Lord urging me to join a Messianic Congregation.  I felt that it was “clannish” and not in the right spirit of a Christian church. Although I knew that I was different, I felt that the Lord just wanted me to be among His children. I have been berated by Jewish believers for not worshiping in a Messianic congregation.

Many Christians Are Fooled by Some Messianic Teachers

I have found that many Christians believe that if a congregation calls itself “Messianic” that the pastor, or in this case they call themselves “rabbis” are ethnic Jews.  This is just not true. Of course there are some of these rabbis who are truly ethnic Jews, but that is not the norm.  Many congregations just assume that the rabbi is a Jew.  This is deceptive.

But also there is no reason for a Gentile believer to elevate an ethnic Jewish believer above any other Christian.  We are all part of the body of Christ!

Many people assume that Mark Biltz is an ethnic Jew.  Here is what I have read and vetted about the life of this man:

From whynotbelieve.blogspot.com

“Raised in Wichita, Kansas as a Roman Catholic, he had a change in his spiritual pursuits when attending Kansas Newman College in Wichita in 1975 at the age of 19. A childhood friend gave him a better understanding of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob that changed his life. He left the Roman Catholic Church at that time and joined a youth organization called the Agape Force. Attending the discipleship-training institute he was able to focus full time for a couple of years strictly on the Bible and full time street evangelism.

His teachers were Leonard Ravenhill, David Wilkerson, Winkie Pratney, amongst others. Returning to Kansas, Mark went to a local bible college at the congregation he was attending. Here he met his wife Vicki, who also attended the Bible College. They have been married since 1977 and have 2 sons. It was at that time Mark taught several courses in the Bible College. One of the focuses was on Hebrew Roots and the Feast Days of Israel.” – source

From elshaddaiministries.us       (The Website of Mark Biltz)

“Mark was born in 1956 in Wichita, Kansas and raised as a Roman Catholic. In 1975 at 19 years of age he was attending Kansas Newman College in Wichita when a childhood friend gave me a better understanding of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He left the Roman Catholic Church and joined a youth organization called the Agape Force. His teachers included Leonard Ravenhill, David Wilkerson, and Winkie Pratney. He then went back to Kansas where he went to a local bible college.” –source

Although I do feel that it is a noble thing that Mark states the truth about him not being an ethnic Jew right on his website; I believe that most people who follow Mark do believe that he is a ethnic Jew.  It is important for people to know the truth!  I think that Mark Biltz should be upfront with his followers from the very beginning. Most of them are certainly not going to search out his website to see if he is indeed a Jew.  The name of his site and his appearance (beard and the garb of a true rabbi) make Mark’s followers assume that he is Jewish.

Why Hebrew Roots is a different Gospel

We are under the new Covenant of Grace.  When Jesus said the He had come to fulfill the law, He meant that all the law and the prophets were fulfilled in Him, and that the Covenant of Grace was “Life giving” to all those who would repent and believe in Him. We were not able to keep the whole law and the Lord knew this from the beginning.

“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” (2 Corinthians 3:6).

Hebrew Roots and what it teaches

From gotquestions.org 

Question: “What is the Hebrew Roots movement?”

Answer: The premise of the Hebrew Roots movement is the belief that the Church has veered far from the true teachings and Hebrew concepts of the Bible. The movement maintains that Christianity has been indoctrinated with the culture and beliefs of Greek and Roman philosophy and that ultimately biblical Christianity, taught in churches today, has been corrupted with a pagan imitation of the New Testament gospels.

Those of the Hebrew Roots belief hold to the teaching that Christ’s death on the cross did not end the Mosaic Covenant, but instead renewed it, expanded its message, and wrote it on the hearts of His true followers. They teach that the understanding of the New Testament can only come from a Hebrew perspective and that the teachings of the Apostle Paul are not understood clearly or taught correctly by Christian pastors today. Many affirm the existence of an original Hebrew-language New Testament and, in some cases, denigrate the existing New Testament text written in Greek. This becomes a subtle attack on the reliability of the text of our Bible. If the Greek text is unreliable and has been corrupted, as is charged by some, the Church no longer has a standard of truth.

Although there are many different and diverse Hebrew Roots assemblies with variations in their teachings, they all adhere to a common emphasis on recovering the “original” Jewishness of Christianity. Their assumption is that the Church has lost its Jewish roots and is unaware that Jesus and His disciples were Jews living in obedience to the Torah. For the most part, those involved advocate the need for every believer to walk a Torah-observant life. This means that the ordinances of the Mosaic Covenant must be a central focus in the lifestyle of believers today as it was with the Old Testament Jews of Israel. Keeping the Torah includes keeping the Sabbath on the seventh day of the week (Saturday), celebrating the Jewish feasts and festivals, keeping the dietary laws, avoiding the “paganism” of Christianity (Christmas, Easter, etc.), and learning to understand the Scriptures from a Hebrew mindset. They teach that Gentile Christians have been grafted into Israel, and this is one reason every born-again believer in Jesus the Messiah is to participate in these observances. It is expressed that doing this is not required out of legalistic bondage, but out of a heart of love and obedience. However, they teach that to live a life that pleases God, this Torah-observant walk must be part of that life.

The Hebrew Roots assemblies are often made up of a majority of Gentiles, including Gentile rabbis. Usually they prefer to be identified as “Messianic Christians.” Many have come to the conclusion that God has “called” them to be Jewish and have accepted the theological position that the Torah (Old Testament law) is equally binding on Gentiles and Jews alike. They often wear articles of traditional Jewish clothing, practice Davidic dancing, and incorporate Hebrew names and phrases into their writing and conversations. Most reject the use of the name “Jesus” in favor of Yeshua or YHWH, claiming that these are the “true” names that God desires for Himself. In most cases, they elevate the Torah as the foundational teaching for the Church, which brings about the demotion of the New Testament, causing it to become secondary in importance and only to be understood in light of the Old Testament. The idea that the New Testament is faulty and relevant only in light of the Old Testament has also brought the doctrine of the Trinity under attack by many advocates of the Hebrew Roots beliefs.

As opposed to what the Hebrew Roots movement claims, the New Testament teachings of the Apostle Paul are perfectly clear and self-explanatory. Colossians 2:16,17 says, “Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day – things which are a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.” Romans 14:5 states, “One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.” Scripture clearly indicates that these issues are a matter of personal choice. These verses and many others give clear evidence that the Mosaic Covenant laws and ordinances have ended. Continuing to teach that the Old Covenant is still in effect in spite of what the New Testament teaches, or twisting the New Testament to agree with the Hebrew Roots beliefs, is false teaching.

There are aspects of the Hebrew Roots teachings that certainly can be beneficial. Seeking to explore the Jewish culture and perspective, within which most of the Bible was written, opens and enriches our understanding of the Scriptures, adding insight and depth to many of the passages, parables and idioms. There is nothing wrong with Gentiles and Jews joining together in celebrating the feasts and enjoying a Messianic style of worship. Taking part in these events and learning the way in which the Jews understood the teachings of our Lord can be a tool, giving us greater effectiveness in reaching the unbelieving Jew with the gospel. It is good for Gentiles, in the body of the Messiah, to identify in our fellowship with Israel. However, to identify with Israel is different from identifying “as” Israel.

Gentile believers are not grafted into the Judaism of the Mosaic Covenant; they are grafted into the seed and faith of Abraham, which preceded the Law and Jewish customs. They are fellow citizens with the saints (Ephesians 2:19), but they are not Jews. Paul explains this clearly when he tells those who were circumcised (the Jews) “not to seek to be uncircumcised” and those who were uncircumcised (the Gentiles) “not to become circumcised” (1 Corinthians 7:18). There is no need for either group to feel they must become what they are not. Instead, God has made Jews and Gentiles into “one new man” in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:15). This “new man” is referring to the Church, the body of Christ, which is made up of neither Jew nor Gentile (Galatians 3:27-29). It’s important for Jews and Gentiles to remain authentic in their own identity. In this way a clear picture of the unity of the body of Christ can be seen as Jews and Gentiles are united by one Lord, one faith, one baptism. If Gentiles are grafted into Israel, becoming Jews, the purpose and picture of both Jew and Gentile, coming together as one new man, is lost. God never intended Gentiles to become one in Israel, but one in Christ.

The influence of this movement is working its way into our churches and seminaries. It’s dangerous in its implication that keeping the Old Covenant law is walking a “higher path” and is the only way to please God and receive His blessings. Nowhere in the Bible do we find Gentile believers being instructed to follow Levitical laws or Jewish customs; in fact, the opposite is taught. Romans 7:6 says, “But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.” Christ, in keeping perfectly every ordinance of the Mosaic Law, completely fulfilled it. Just as making the final payment on a home fulfills that contract and ends one’s obligation to it, so also Christ has made the final payment and has fulfilled the law, bringing it to an end for us all.

It is God Himself who has created a world of people with different cultures, languages and traditions. God is glorified when we accept one another in love and come together in unity as “one” in Christ Jesus. It’s important to understand that there is no superiority in being born Jewish or Gentile. We who are followers of Christ, comprised of many different cultures and lifestyles, are all of value and greatly loved because we’ve entered into the family of God. – source

Again, I ask the reader – Have you been lured into this cult of Hebrew Roots?  Please understand that our redemption was made possible by the finished work of Christ on the Cross. He made it possible for us to be reconciled to our Father in heaven because of Jesus alone. We are admonished to never add nor take away words from the Bible.  Is it not clear to you that adding to Salvation by stating that you must adhere to the Jewish ways of Jesus and the early church to really be saved is wrong?

This is in essence stating that Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection from the dead was not enough for us to be saved. HERESY!

If you are curious about the Jewish roots of Jesus Christ, than by all means you should study it – if that is a desire of yours. But do not be deceived into thinking that this is also part of salvation!   If we could keep the entire law, then why would the Father send his only begotten Son to die that horrific death on the Cross?

I hope that this has helped some. Even if there is but one who is freed from this legalistic false teaching – it will be worth the time I took to write this.

Shalom b’Yeshua

MARANATHA!
