REAL CHANGE IS COMING!
HE WILL BRING A BIG CHANGE!
WITH ALL THE POLITICS OF CHANGE,
BEING PREACHED FROM SHORE TO SHORE,
WORLD RULERS SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER
A NEW WORLD LEADER WILL SOON BRING WELCOME
CHANGE, WHEN HE COMES TO EARTH AT HIS 2ND ADVENT!
Psalm 2:1-12 – Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing
? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. [5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. [6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. [7] I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. [10] Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. [11] Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. [12] Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Romans 1:24-27 – Wherefore Go
d also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.
Amen. [26] For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Luke 17:26-30 – And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. [27] They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
[28] Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; [29] But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [30] Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
A wonderful Pastor whom I deeply love and respect in every way, and who I count as a dear friend, discovered abruptly one day that his adult son was gay.
It was perhaps the greatest shock he ever experienced in his life. I had, in my ministry, knowing the Biblical admonition against homosexuality, conversed without malice with gays on this subject at length, and when my friend had this shock, I began to ask myself what I would do after the initial shock if I were in his place.
After considering what the Lord said about it in both the Old and New Testaments, and then considering the Old Testament was used by the Spirit of God who wrote it, to being us to Christ so we might be justified by faith, and not by the Law, I came to the following conclusion:
I would love my child, giving him the same unconditional love I give my other six children, with one exception – He or she would know I was certain what they were doing was wrong according to the Scriptures. I would not judge them, because judgment is God’s business, but I would condemn the practice.
I would treat them just as I treated them before I knew they were gay. I would never mention the subject to them unless they came to me wanting to discuss it. I think my friend reached much the same conclusion. I do not judge the individual, but I preach against the practicing of anything the Scriptures say is wrong, which is one of the blessings of separation of church and state.
There were no chapter divisions in the original biblical manuscripts. So please keep this in mind as you read the continuation of Romans 1 (above) in Romans 2, remembering it is the love of God that leads us to repentance. If you want to see anyone repent of something the Bible teaches is wrong, it is the love of God they see in you that can accomplish it. I would love my gay child, but I would biblically condemn his or her practice of it, and under no circumstances would I defend or recommend the practice of it to others.
Why would I not willingly defend, recommend, or propagate the practice of homosexuality to others – Because Christ will judge the ones who practice it and those who approve of it, when he brings world change at his Second Advent. I voted for him in the Millennial Primary 66 years ago. Romans 1:24-27’s conclusion (above) follows in Romans 1:32 to 2:4.
Romans 1:32 to 2:4 – Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
[1] Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
[2] But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. [3] And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? [4] Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

A proud father of a gay son
By David Fogel
March 3, 2008
Full disclosure: I’m the proud father of a gay son. And I’m not the only one. Our prime minister, Ehud Olmert, is the proud father of a gay daughter – a daughter who has become a symbol, the pride of the community, for being an open lesbian and a brave fighter for equal rights for the homosexual community.
And because I know, from personal acquaintance, that Ehud Olmert is a warm and loving father, I am angry at his thundering silence in light of the nonsense and incitement against the homosexual community by several leaders of Shas.
As long as the leaders of this party were content robbing the public coffers, as long as they adopted the extortion methods of the Ashkenazi ultra-Orthodox parties, we somehow accepted it; after all, this has been going on since the establishment of the state. It’s true that there has been a certain innovation here: To date, the MKs of the Ashkenazi ultra-Orthodox parties have not been convicted of criminal offenses or served prison terms – but we have become accustomed to this, too.
But the Shas wheeler-dealers are no longer satisfied with reaching into the public coffers. As faithful representatives of worldviews that were common during the Middle Ages, they have pulled out a new “winning” card – as far as they are concerned, nothing less than an ace – the homosexual card.
I have no desire to repeat their nonsense, or to try to diagnose the psychological problems that lie behind these statements. I only know that in this difficult country, where hooligans mercilessly beat up helpless elderly people, there has been an increase – so my son and his friends tell me – in hooligans also beating up homosexuals who are walking innocently in the city streets, minding their own business. We can assume that some of these hooligans draw encouragement and confirmation from the contemptuous words uttered by the Shas wheeler-dealers.
I return to Ehud Olmert.
Olmert is a sophisticated and experienced politician, as evidenced by the wisdom and the cunning behind his extraordinary success at maintaining his coalition. There probably has been no prime minister who did that as well as he does. And still, we can also expect him to understand that there are far more important things than survival. For example, the dignity of his children.
Therefore, if I were Ehud Olmert, I would convene all the Shas MKs in a closed room and tell them the following: I have no intention of preaching morals to you and explaining to you what damage you are causing my daughter’s community. As far as I am concerned, you can continue to think whatever you wish. But if you dare once again to utter such nonsense in public, you will find yourselves outside the coalition.
