The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Prior to the entry of the Messiah into Israel, many Jews believed in the Word of God. The Jewish Apostles John explained that Jesus is the Word of God, that had entered into the form of a man. He did not exalt Him self above men, but pinched his tent among us and made the villages and town in Israel his dwelling place. Tens of thousands of Jews saw His Glory, and experienced his unconditional love. Jesus was full of compassion for the lost who did not deserve to be saved by Him.
1 Timothy 1:15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.
The Jewish apostle Paul wanted his fellow Jewish brothers to believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Paul tells us about his struggle with his sinful nature. There is a constant battle going on. And the faithful Apostle admits that He keeps on making mistakes after being saved. Thats why He writes that He «is» the worst of sinners. Not that he «was» the worst of sinners. Paul always considers others better than him self. We should try to follow his example.
These images from Church of Portobelo in Panama expose the bondage of idolatry.
He bows before, not only one:, but two wooden copies of the false black Messiah.
Faithful Roman Catholic pilgrims crawl on their knees, to face “El Cristo Negro” inside this Roman Catholic Church in Portobelo in Panama. The small statues of the false Messiah are black like ashes.
If these Roman Catholics were willing to obey the Bible, they would never have remained in such bondage. The Holy Spirit would have come and set them free.
Through history, people who have renounced the Papacy, have been badly persecuted. In hundreds of thousands, they were martyred. Beaten and killed by the religious people who refused to obey the truth.
Exodus 20:4-6 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
Here are some more pictures:
The crawl in front of two idols of El Cristo Negro.Two boys hold the idols. The pilgrims crawl and bow.They put their sandals on their hands.Some people has crawled for quite some distance.
Isaiah 37:19 They have thrown their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods but only wood and stone, fashioned by human hands.
They crawl through the streets, on their way to honor wood and stone.The crawl into the Roman Catholic Church.
Jeremiah 2:27 They say to wood, ‘You are my father,’ and to stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ They have turned their backs to me and not their faces; yet when they are in trouble, they say, ‘Come and save us!’
Some carry their idols with them.Some even carry “god” on their head.It your have forgotten your “god” at home, you can always buy one.
Daniel 5:4 As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.
Finally this man has crawled the whole way. Only a kiss is left.
Revelation 9:20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.
A faithful Catholic dresses up the false black Messiah, to make him ready for a stroll.The night has fallen. The crawlers have gone home. Time for carrying the idol on their shoulders.
1 Corinthians 12:2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols…..
The “Jesus” they crawled towards is not “Lord of Heaven”. May all of them one day scrap their wooden idols, and enjoy carrying the true Messiah inside their hearts. Amen.
Half a million Jewish Israelis are living beyond the Israel-Jordan border prior to 1967.
Jewish settlers on the mountains in Zion. The Prophetic Word being fulfiled in our generationb.
Some 200,000 reside in greater Jerusalem in areas annexed by Israel. Another 300,000 live in the so-called West Bank, the Biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria. At the current rate of growth, the Jewish population there will comprise about 750,000 people by 2025.
The evacuation of 8,000 Jewish settlers from Gaza and their absorption in Israel cost NIS 10 billion.
Those interested in turning back time and evacuating Israelis from the areas beyond the 1967 borders would have to invest NIS 600 billion for that end. An unreal figure.

My comment:
The first Italians and Irishmen that came to America as settlers, were welcomed into the city of New Amsterdam by the Dutch colonialists. But during the British occupation, the city was renamed after after the Dutch of York. «New York» was considered a more pleasing name to the King of England, than to call the city «New Amsterdam».
The opinion of the native American, who mostly lived on the «West Bank» of the Delaware River, was not taken into consideration.
The question is obvious:
Were the first 500.000 Europeans who settled in America, liberators of the land, or were they occupiers?
Most people will say that the European settlers were liberators. They ended up forming a new nation, and build it on Judeo-Christian values. The American Constitution from 1776 is based up on the 10 commandments. And every US President has to hold his hand on the Bible, and say an oath to God of the Bible.
The same Americans, are today trying to enforce Islamic laws and falsehood on the state of Israel. By trying to rob the Jewish people of their right to own properties and settle in the land of Judea and Samaria. This is the same Jewish homeland, from were the first US lawgivers got their inspiration.
Its amazing that the American leadership, including five of the the last six US Presidents, can not see this historical parallel.
