Salvation
Identification
Direction
Salvation is key. This whole world is obviously headed for disaster. So whether it's political, economic or a personal scenario, change is coming and it won't be good. Fortunately, in the macro scheme of things, there is something that can be done.
Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Identification of "Israel"
John 1
1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Jesus was not talking about the rebirth of a physical, race driven, color biased transformation that favored a persons skin or genealogy or background. He was talking about the spiritual rebirth through him and exemplified by the regeneration and cleansing of the old man (physical Israel) into the new man (spiritual Israel). All the old paradigms and physical structures of the religious construct are now obsolete. The temple is now within.
Politics has always had a religious "partner". Even during the days of Jesus with Rome and the Sanhedrin. Now it is is America and the state sanctioned 501c3 "Churches". Some things never change. Except this time they will. We are on the cusp of this Ordo Ab Chao (order out of chaos) with the last transfer of empirical power "back" to Jerusalem. Very apropos as the old saying goes - it will all come full circle. Forces are now in play where when America falls, the new world headquarters will be set up in Jerusalem. For those who have the ears to hear and the eyes to see; physical Israel is still anti-Christ, and she will be carried along by her lover the false prophet Christian Church who at this point in time has their own agenda and designs emanating from false "two-house" theology (that they are helping join up the House of Judah and the "lost tribes" in one stick) or the heresy that physical Israel is still the chosen people based on race.

This will all be for naught however since in essence the politically motivated institutional Christians are deceived in believing that they will be blessed in accordance with the Abrahamic blessing given in Genesis 12:3, when they have the wrong Israel in view. Compounded to this delusion is that they have committed the "sin of Esau" by having abrogated (given away) their birthright.
But then again, things were predicted to go this way so it is no small wonder and not surprising at all.

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
However,
In addition to all this spiritual blindness, you also have the "Rapturists" who purport to a contrived 7-year Dispensational "theory" that grew out of many permutations going back over a hundred years but essentially derives out of a faulty rendering of the "he" who confirms the covenant of Daniel chapter 9:27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
It was Jesus Christ who confirmed the covenant NOT the anti-Christ. They are attributing the works of Jesus Christ to the supposed anti-Christ. This is blasphemy.
Absolutely no where in the Word does it talk about a 7 year tribulational period. All the other timeframes deal with 1260 days (based on a 30 day lunar calendar), 3 1/2 years, 42 months (3 1/2 years) or a time, times and the dividing of time (another reference to 3 1/2 years). Millions and millions of institutional Christians adhere to this false apostasy.
The Rapturists in their convoluted doctrine want to expedite the tribulation period saying they won't be here anyway and are in doubly grave spiritual peril saying that physical Israel are the chosen people. They have again committed the "sin of Esau" by giving away their birthright. It always comes down to the machinations of a political/religious inspired motivation. Some things never change.
Do not reject God's warning:
Hebrews 12:14
14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
Romans 9:8
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Jesus Christ is that seed.

But you can change. The macro picture involved here is eternity. Your soul is at stake. It's an easy decision to make. It's between you and God. No political and/or religious entities involved. Your decision is to leave Egypt and her all seeing eye by being born again as spiritual Israel. The physical Israel left Egypt the first time and now the born again spiritual Israel is leaving Egypt the second time.
..Except some will want to stay back & remain in the physical Israel.
Re-cap:
-Know your salvation.
-Claim your birthright as reborn spiritual Israel outside of the political/religious construct.
-Provide direction to others who are looking for the Truth.
And don't be surprised if they will hate you for telling the truth.

See you in the desert on the way to the promised land...
The second exodus has already begun.
Are you in the right family of believers?
If you are - pass it on.
And may your family grow and be blessed.
