The doctors have now said that he has only days left. But we do not trust in the natural, nor what we see, but in the Lord Who is our Healer. Many of you sent me the following verse:?This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. (John 11:4)?We declare this verse over Jack continually. And we stand in faith that the Lord only will be glorified in this. We all know that Jack is a firm believer in healing and he is a man of strong faith. We also know that the devil comes only to steal, kill and destroy. He uses fear, intimidation and control to keep us from fighting in this war in the heavenlies and experiencing God's promises to us. So we stand and we fight. We are not afraid. We are not intimidated. And we put God and His Word only in control. We are the children of the King. We put on the full armor of God and remember that we fight from the victory won for us 2,000 years ago on the cross. Please continue to join me in this fight. We pray and we fast and we stand. We are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us.?You can leave a prayer or message for Jack on the GraceThruFaith Facebook page: ??The Last Days of the Church - Jack Kinsella - ?In the Book of the Revelation, Jesus instructed John to "Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter." (Revelation 1:19)?There is much to be learned from this verse. First, John was instructed to write down what he is seeing; that is to say, Jesus didn't dictate the whole Book, but rather, for the most part, John witnessed the events and described them in his own words.?His vision was of things which 'are' (from John's place on the timeline), and of the things which shall be 'hereafter' cover the timeline from the Church Age through to the Great White Throne Judgment at the end of time.?John's narrative begins with the things 'which are' and is the only part of the Book dictated directly by Christ. The first three chapters outline the seven letters to the seven Churches that existed in Asia Minor in John's day.?The Lord outlined the relative strengths and weaknesses of each Church. In hindsight, Bible scholars found that each letter also addressed the particular characteristics that dominated during particular periods of time, or 'epochs' within the Church Age.?The sixth letter was written to the Church of Philadelphia, often called, "the Missionary Church." Of the Church of Philadelphia, Jesus writes,?"I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My Name." (Revelation 3:8)?Although most Bible scholars calculate the demise of the 'Missionary Church' as coinciding with the 19th century 'Age of Enlightenment,' the Laodicean Age has not yet formally begun.?The Church at Philadelphia is the final Church of the Church Age, and it concludes with the Rapture. Comparing the modern state of the Church with that of the Church of Laodicea is tempting, but the Word, rightly divided, says we are the members of that Church 'which hast a little strength.'?Despite global efforts to outlaw Christianity, no man has yet been able to 'shut the door' on Jesus. There are still Christians in this present age who bravely keep His Word and proclaim His Name and the Good news of salvation by grace through faith.?Although in every age, believers looked up expectantly for His return for His Church, Jesus promises the Church of Philadelphia that He will come 'quickly'. And He promises a special 'crown' to the Philadelphia Church.?"Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown." (Revelation 3:11)?There is only one 'crown' that fits the context;?"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." (2nd Timothy 4:8)?It has been a long, long wait, but there remain those in this present age that continue to patiently proclaim His soon return. The Lord promises a unique reward to those patient Philadelphians:?"Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." (Revelation 3:10)?Note that Jesus refers to the 'hour' of temptation that He will keep the Philadelphians from experiencing. The use of the word 'hour' is significant. It signifies a brief but intense period that will "try ALL them that dwell upon the earth."?But the Philadelphians, because they patiently waited and trusted in His Word, will be 'kept' from that 'hour'. The Apostle Paul describes the fulfillment of that ironclad promise, issued directly from Jesus, to the Philadelphia Church:?"For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (1st Thessalonians 4:16-17)?Having explained it, Paul tells us why;?"Wherefore comfort one another with these words." (1st Thessalonians 4:18)Twelve air forces crowd Syrian skies. Israel-Russian hot line may channel coordination - Sunday, Oct. 18, Russian and Israeli air force headquarters near Latakia in Syria and Tel Aviv began practicing procedures for using the hot line they established last week to coordinate their operations in Syrian skies. They were putting into effect the agreement reached between Vladimir Putin and Binyamin Netanyahu in Moscow on Sept. 22, which was worked out in detail on Oct. 6 by Russian Dept. Chief of Staff Gen. Nikolay Bogdanovsky and his Israeli counterpart Gen. Yair Golan..?On Oct 15, the defense ministry in Moscow confirmed that "mutual information-sharing on the actions of aircraft has been established"? to avoid clashes in the skies of Syria "between the Russian aviation command center at the Hmeimim air base and a command post of the Israeli air force." He added that the two sides were holding practice sessions on the new line.?The next day, Turkish fighters downed a Russian Orlan 10 UAV that intruded 3 km into their space. The Turks complained they had shot down the drone after repeated warnings to the Russian pilots. Since the drone has no pilots, the complaint must have been relayed to the Russian airbase in Syria. But in the absence of coordination, there was no answer.?Neither did Ankara have the option of resorting to a Washington line to the Kremlin, since the Obama administration had spurned Moscow's proposal to send a military delegation to Washington for setting up a military coordination mechanism for their aerial operations over Syria.??The White House spokesman Josh Earnest dismissed the offer as "a sign of desperation for Mr. Putin's air campaign."??It just so happens that, this Sunday, the US and Israel launched their bi-annual Blue Flag air exercise from Israel's southern air base at Ovda, their combat squadrons joined by Greek and Italian air units. They will spend two weeks "simulating a high-intensity confrontation against a political entity with a strong army," according to the official statement.??The question hanging over this exercise is this: How will this drill pan out in the absence of US-Russian coordination on their air movements over the Middle East and Syria??Unlike the airspace of the world's countries, Syria's skies are in fact ungoverned by any fully-functioning sovereign government, and so the normal rules of air conduct and international safety procedures have gone by the board. ?Syrian air space is frequented by the fighters, heavy bombers, transports and UAVs of a dozen air forces: Syria, Russia the US, Israel, Turkey and Iran as well as the US-led coalition planes of Canada, France, Australia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The miracle is that no major air disasters have so far occurred in skies crowded by this swarm of uncontrolled, unmonitored air traffic - all bent on their separate missions.??Most may be identified by radio signals or external markings and emblems. Some carry transponders which broadcast their location, identity, speed and direction.??But what about the few who don't? One such case was the Russian drone that violated Turkish air space Friday with no identifying markings.?As soon as Russia embarked on its large-scale military buildup in Syria, Moscow and Jerusalem made haste to set up a hot line to avert disastrous collisions over Syria. ?debkafile's military and intelligence sources say it is safe to assume that the Russian end of the hot line with Israel at the Al-Hmeineem air base near Latakia, will be manned by Arab-speaking flight controllers.?And at the Tel Aviv end, along with Israeli officers, there will also be a presence of air controllers from western allies, including the US Air Force, who will use the facility to coordinate their flights with the Russian command.??The US-Israeli Blue Flag exercise provides an excellent opportunity for testing the Israeli-Russian hot line in combat conditions. Far from being a fantastic scenario, it offers a dose of reality on the current military conditions prevailing in the region.Iran Boasts of "Hundreds" of Secret Underground Missile Bases - By Raphael Poch -?"And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." (Daniel 12:2)??On Wednesday, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard invited Iranian state TV to tour one of their underground "secret" missile bases. The tour came the day after Iran's parliament passed a bill approving the country's nuclear treaty with six world powers. ?During the broadcast, the Guard exhibited some of their middle-range as well as long-range missiles. The footage showed long tunnels with ready-to-fire missiles loaded on the backs of trucks. The broadcast also boasted that this was just one of "hundreds of underground missile bases" throughout the country.?The location of the base was not disclosed, but the broadcast did say that the facility was 500 meters (1600 feet) below ground. ?The display came only a few days after Iran test-fired a new precision-guided long-range ballistic missile. The testing of the missile garnered Iran a harsh response by the international community. ?"We'll obviously raise this at the United Nations Security Council as we have done in previous launches," State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters, noting the test appeared to be a violation of U.N. Security Resolution 1929.??Both Toner and White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that this issue was separate from the nuclear deal Iran struck in July.?Under Resolution 1929, which was created in 2010, ballistic missile tests by Iran are banned. This ban remains until the nuclear deal goes into effect.?The new resolution states that once the deal takes effect, countries from the international community will be allowed to transfer missile technology and heavy weapons to Iran on a case-by-case basis. This transfer of technology and arms will still come under the supervision of the United Nations Security Council, which will have to give its formal approval. ?Amir Ali Hajizadeh, head of the Revolutionary Guard's aerospace branch, boasts the facility is the "tip of the iceberg" of the Guard's military might. ???US confirms Iran tested nuclear-capable ballistic missile - ??"The United States is deeply concerned about Iran's recent ballistic missile launch," US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power said in a statement.? ?The United States has confirmed that Iran tested a medium-range missile capable of delivering a nuclear weapon, in "clear violation" of a United Nations Security Council ban on ballistic missile tests, a senior US official said on Friday.??"The United States is deeply concerned about Iran's recent ballistic missile launch," US Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power said in a statement.??"After reviewing the available information, we can confirm that Iran launched on Oct. 10 a medium-range ballistic missile inherently capable of delivering a nuclear weapon," she said. "This was a clear violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1929."??The United States is preparing a report on the incident for the Security Council's Iran Sanctions Committee and will raise the matter directly with Security Council members "in the coming days," Power said.??Council diplomats have told Reuters it was possible to sanction additional Iranian individuals or entities by adding them to an existing UN blacklist. However, they noted that Russia and China, which have opposed the sanctions on Iran's missile program, might block any such moves.??"The Security Council prohibition on Iran's ballistic missile activities, as well as the arms embargo, remain in place," Power said. "We will continue to press the Security Council for an appropriate response to Iran's disregard for its international obligations."??Ballistic missile tests by Iran are banned under Security Council resolution 1929, which was adopted in 2010 and remains valid until a nuclear deal between Tehran and six world powers goes into effect. Under that deal, reached on July 14, most sanctions on Iran will be lifted in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program.??Once the deal takes effect, Iran will still be "called upon" to refrain from undertaking any work on ballistic missiles designed to deliver nuclear weapons for a period of up to eight years, according to a Security Council resolution adopted in July.??Countries would be allowed to transfer missile technology and heavy weapons to Iran on a case-by-case basis with council approval.??However, in July a US official called this provision meaningless and said the United States would veto any suggested transfer of ballistic missile technology to Iran.??On Sunday, the United States, the European Union and Iran are expected to announce a series of measures to comply with the nuclear deal that will take effect once the UN International Atomic Energy Agency confirms Iranian compliance with terms of the agreement. ??The Burden of Damascus and The Psalm 83 War - PreviewComing Soon!The Fate of Damascus and the Psalm 83 War?About the time of the end the biblical prophet Ezekiel tells of a future invasion of Israel by a vast coalition of nations, known as the battle of Gog and Magog, we find this in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. As we read the headlines in the newspapers of today, and witness the conflicts in the Middle East, it's not hard to imagine that this invasion prophesied over 2600 years ago, could be fulfilled in the immediate future.? Ezekiel 36-37 predicts a gathering of the Jews to the nation of Israel, which will be followed by this massive invasion.? For 19 centuries, the Jewish people were scattered throughout the world, and until May 14, 1948, there was no nation of Israel to invade.? With the nation of Israel now a reality, the stage seems set for the war that will usher in the tribulation and the rise of the Antichrist; a war that will end with the destruction of Israel's enemies by God Himself, and lead to the signing of a peace treaty with the Antichrist.?As you read Ezekiel 38 and 39, it isn't just the creation of the nation of Israel that makes this prophecy seem likely to be fulfilled in the near future.? The nations that God tells us will form this coalition against Israel seem more likely now than perhaps ever before to form just such an alliance." The leaders of this coalition will be Russia and Iran, and currently both of these nations are right on Israel's doorstep, under the pretense of battling ISIS in Syria. I believe that there are a couple of unfulfilled prophecies that will lead-up to this massive invasion of Israel, and as we read today's headlines, we find that the fulfillment of these two prophesied events,?could happen very soon! ?The Fate of Damascus and the Psalm 83 WarThis exciting new DVD will be released on?*10/23/15 and you can pre-order this new DVD right now.

The gospel is presented clearly with tender love. We pray that this DVD gets distributed far and wide. I hope youth ministers have the courage to show this DVD rather than the garbage materials of the emergent church movement." - John Wicklund Board President for Olive Tree Ministries?"I received The End of Times DVD today. It is Superb! For those that don't know much, or anything about Bible Prophecy, this DVD should really open their eyes, a great teaching tool. For those that have grown cold or indifferent in the Lord, this should awaken them." T. Nelson??"The DVD provides an effective mix of biblical teaching and history, interspersed with the happenings in Israel today.? Particularly effective is the emotional ending showing the return of Jewish people worldwide back to Israel and traveling with a sense of destiny.? Many commentators have said Israel is God's hour hand, Jerusalem is the minute hand, and the Temple Mount is the second hand on God's timepiece.? The video is a great introduction and myth-buster for those who do not know of the importance of Israel in God's eyes or who believe Israel has as much significance in today's world as Madagascar or the Canary Islands." - John Wicklund, Chairman Olive Tree Ministries Board of Directors?Got the DVD today and just finished watching it...outstanding!!! Loved it!!! - G. Madison - Oklahoma??I watched "Israel God's Timepiece" last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have loved Israel ever since I read the book "Exodus", when I was in the Army in 1958. I do everything I can to support Israel and get people involved in what they are going through, and more than that, to pray for Peace in Jerusalem, according to Psalm 122. Your DVD was a fitting tribute to this wonderful, spectacular country and God's very own "baby". Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Very well done. - J. Masters - Mississippi?It is really a professional production and I see why it is so well received. In fact we felt it is actually the best film we have seen on end time events. - Bill & Brenda Hicks??At first I thought it was going to be another routine message but as it progressed it became more and more impressive. It was a great message. Congratulations on a very well presented and produced DVD. - R. Webb - Williamsburg?Another effective witness from Randy and Prophecy Update. The "There will be Tribulation" video describes the purpose and the sequence of events during the final seven years prior to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The linkage to many Old Testament prophecies clearly show the importance of the nation of Israel to this seven-year period. The pictures in the video document a world already full of tribulation- how terrible will be those seven years. Great teaching tool for small groups and youth ministers to present the gospel message through the topic ofbible prophecy. - John Wicklund Chair- Olive Tree Ministries Board of?Directors??"Moving and Inspirational" - D.

Rauf - 29:32-And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying place.? There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth. And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.?History and tradition are a vital part of the Jewish culture. Even in the Islamic faith the reverence for Biblical patriarchs to some extent is reverential. One of the reasons that? the burial place was so important to the patriarchs has to do with God's promise of the land. This is where the issue gets very touchy and this is where Bible prophecy begins to unfurl before our very eyes.?God had promised that Abraham's descendants would possess the land where he had been buried.?Genesis 12:1-3-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: 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: 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.?Genesis 15:18-21-In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.?Jacob knew that, if he was buried in Canaan, his tomb would forever remain within the Promised Land. The fact that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph would all be buried there-four generations-emphasized their belief in God's promise to give this land to their descendants.?Take a close look at the map below. This is what the "promised Land" would look like today:?God is a promise-keeping God. This land will one day be given to Israel. ?Dozens of Palestinians set fire at dawn on Friday to a holy site known as Joseph's Tomb, in the Palestinian Authority-controlled city of Nablus in the West Bank, damaging the tiny stone compound that many Jews believe is the burial place of the son of the biblical patriarch Jacob.?The latest wave violence has been prompted, in large part, by a dispute over Al Aqsa Mosque compound, a contested holy site in Jerusalem revered by Jews as the Temple Mount and by Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.?Psalm 74:1-8-O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt. Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary. Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs. A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees. But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers. They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground. They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.?This is nothing new. ?A recurring theme in the Palestinian press and television is the denial of Jewish rights to holy sites in the Holy Land. Unseen and unheard in the Western media - by choice or by ignorance - are the statements of senior Palestinian clerics and political leaders that deny any Jewish tie to the Patriarchs/Matriarchs, to their burial sites, or to the Western Wall and the Temple Mount. ?Denial of the ancient historical Jewish ties to the Land of Israel is an important weapon in the battle to delegitimize the Jewish State of Israel.?Palestinian mobs, led by Palestinian police, destroy Joseph's Tomb in Nablus? a few years ago. It was reported that as Palestinian troops stood by, some shooting in the air to express their own the joy, hundreds of Palestinian men set upon the shrine with pick axes and crowbars while black smoke billowed from the charred structure. Raising a Palestinian flag, the Palestinians said that they were destroying Joseph's Tomb to ensure that the Israelis never returned.?"Be alert and treat Joseph's Tomb and Rachel's Tomb as parcels of Palestinian land which must be liberated, and treat Joseph and Rachel as two people who died, like anyone else." - excerpt from the official PA newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadeeda, December 1, 1997.?Jews believe that this tomb sits on the parcel of ground that Jacob bought for a hundred pieces of silver, according to Joshua 24:32, an inheritance of the children of Joseph.?Joshua 24:25-32-So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem. And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the Lord. And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the Lord which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.? So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance. And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being an hundred and ten years old. And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash. And Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the Lord, that he had done for Israel. And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.?Thus, this was a direct attack on the inheritance of the people of Israel. To further complicate the matter regarding the Temple Mount, French Ambassador to the UN Francois Delattre said, at an emergency meeting on Friday of the UN Security Council on the ongoing violence between Israel and the Palestinians, that he would circulate a draft statement to the council that would appeal for calm and restraint and for a revival of the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and for maintaining the status quo at the Temple Mount. NOTE: OTHER NATIONS ARE BEING DRAWN INTO THIS DEBACLE....JUST AS IT WAS PROPHESIED IN THE BIBLE.?It's apparent that the hook is already being placed in the jaw of Gog/Magog as a strong Russian military presence has occupied Syria.?Ezekiel 38:1:4-And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:?(Again, look at the map above of the borders of the land that was originally promised to Israel: A good part of Syria is in this map.) Israel has now responded by stating that they will never agree to the stationing of international forces on Temple Mount. ?What is happening before our very eyes is that the world is pushing towards a peace treaty that will ultimately divide the Holy land into the two countries of Israel and Palestine. Jerusalem itself may be divided into East and west and control of the temple mount may be given over to the gentiles as well.?Revelation 11:12-2-And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.?What is the endgame here? Notice again what the Bible says:?Joel 3:1-2--For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,? I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.?The clock is ticking.........Get saved now.?$300 Million "Temple of Solomon" Built in Brazil - By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz -?"Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes?"(Haggai 2:3)?In Sao Paulo, Brazil, there is a remarkable sight: a full-size replica of Solomon's Temple. Actually, the Templo de Salom?o built by the Universal Church Kingdom of God is much larger - it is four times the size of the original, but precise in every other detail. It is impressive, giving a taste of the glory of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. The structure is a magnet for attention, though, admittedly, not all of it is positive.?Bishop Edir Macedo of the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) was inspired to begin this massive undertaking after he visited Israel, where he decided to bring a piece of the Holy Land to his congregation in Brazil. It took four years and a daunting $300 million, but he was finally successful in his vision of building a replica of Solomon's Temple. ?Architect and project designer Rogério Silva de Araújo explained that the measurements were taken directly from the Bible. "A cubit was the distance between the elbow and the fingertips-which corresponded to 18 inches or 52.4 centimeters," he explained. "Based on this piece of information, it was possible to calculate that the house king Solomon built for the Lord was approximately 31.44 meters long, 10.48 meters wide and 15.72 meters high. Also in Haggai 2:9, it says, 'The glory of this latter temple shall be greater.' "?The UCKG Temple is indeed larger, measuring 126 meters long, 104 meters wide and 55 meters high - the height of an 18 story building. The floor and the walls are covered in $8 million worth of Jerusalem stone brought from Israel and, as in the original Temple, the main doors are made of wood and lined with copper. ?Stepping inside the main sanctuary, which has seating for 10,000 worshippers, is said to be a powerful experience, but the most impressive part of the temple is its large central altar. It features an exact replica of the Ark of the Covenant covered in gold leaf. Behind the Ark is the temple's baptistery, creating a dramatic visual effect.?Miguel Peres, a representative of the church, explained to Breaking Israel News why the project was begun. "We wanted to help people turn to Israel, support its existence and give them an opportunity to touch Jerusalem stones, which for them is a big deal," he said. "Many Brazilians will never get a chance to go to Jerusalem, so why not bring a piece of Jerusalem to Brazil?"?"We also wanted to rescue the value of the original faith which has been lost along the years. At the courtyard of the Temple we built a replica of the Mishkan (The Tabernacle), " he continued "Men were taught through the Mishkan how to approach God Almighty through faith and not religion."??The project has attracted much attention, but the Temple was not built as a tourist attraction. Success is measured in different terms and Peres seems to feel it has measured up to all expectations.?"More than twenty thousand people flock to the Temple every day in its daily services and the things that are happening here are unbelievable," he told Breaking Israel News. "More than 5 million people have visited the Temple since its opening."?WATCH: ??Though it is clear that it is not a place of Jewish worship, Peres feels it has also helped the Jewish people. "Thanks to our efforts, many people worldwide are now aware that there was a Temple that once stood in Jerusalem and that it needs to be rebuilt," he said. "We are helping by spreading the story of the Temple. The Temple must be rebuilt in Jerusalem; this is a prophecy and a fact."?Rabbi Chaim Richman, the International Director of the Temple Institute, which is dedicated to the rebuilding of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, feels differently. He came out strongly against the Templo de Salom?o even before it was built. ?"This is taking the promise of redemption for all mankind and using it for something altogether different," he argued. "This is a total bastardization of the sanctity of the Holy Temple."?He claimed it was expropriating another religion's symbol or holy site, comparing it to replacing the famous statue of "The Redeemer" in Rio De Janeiro with a Muslim minaret. "Jews have always suffered from this," he declared, noting that the holiest site in Judaism, the Temple Mount, has been expropriated by the Muslims, with ongoing dire consequences. In strong terms, he refers to the Temple of Solomon in Brazil as a "theological obscenity" and a "stain on the honor of the God of Israel".?Peres, however, defended the construction of the church. "More than a Jewish symbol, it is a Biblical symbol. The Bible is the Light to all people on Earth," Peres explained. "At no point did we try to steal the symbol of the Jewish people, but we brought to life a symbol of Faith that once moved a nation to seek God sincerely and wholeheartedly."??Why pray? - Greg Laurie - Greg Laurie on the need 'to bend our will God's way'?A little boy named Josh went over to his grandmother's house for a Sunday dinner, along with the rest of his family. Everyone took their seats around the table, and the meal was served. Then little Josh dug in and started eating.?Suddenly his mom stopped him and said, "Joshua, what are you doing? We always pray before we eat a meal in our home. We need to do that now."?Josh said, "Yeah, that's our house. This is Grandma's house, and she knows how to cook."?We can pray anywhere, at any time - even at grandma's house. I think sometimes we believe God is more likely to hear our prayers if we offer them in a church sanctuary, but the Bible shows us that isn't true. Paul prayed in a dungeon. Daniel prayed in a cave filled with lions. Peter prayed on the surface of the water. And Jonah prayed under the water.?We attach a lot of significance to the length of a prayer, the structure of a prayer, or the language and eloquence of a prayer. But when God hears a person pray, he looks at the heart. The most important thing to Him is where our heart is.?Clearly, the Scriptures tell us that we ought to be men and women of prayer. Jesus himself encouraged his disciples to always pray and never give up (see Luke 18:1 NLT).?By the way, when you pray, you are not telling God something he is unaware of. What's more, not only does he know what you're facing and have all the details you're praying about, but he has his plan and his will - and he will do what he wants to do no matter what.?Then why pray? If we can't get God to do what we want him to do, and if he is going to do what he already wants to do, then what is the value of prayer??The value of prayer is that it keeps us in touch with God. The object of prayer is not to bend God's will our way; it is to bend our will God's way. Jesus said, "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you" (John 15:7 NIV).?We get excited at the phrase "whatever you wish." All of a sudden we start to think of God as a genie coming out of a bottle. But God is not a genie, and he is not Santa. The Message version puts the same statement this way: "But if you make yourselves at home with me and my words are at home in you, you can be sure that whatever you ask will be listened to and acted upon."?God will give us what our hearts desire when we make ourselves at home with him and his words are at home in us.?There is a right and a wrong way to pray. And there are right and wrong things to pray for.?We find an example of this in two New Testament stories from Matthew 20. The first story teaches us how not to pray. A mother who had great ambition for her sons went to Jesus and asked him for something completely inappropriate: "Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom" (verse 21).?Jesus, of course, wasn't going to answer this prayer. It was an audacious prayer, and it was a selfish prayer. He had just revealed that he was going to be whipped and scourged - that he would have the skin torn off his back. He had just revealed that he would die the worst death imaginable.?It's almost as though this mother said, "Yeah? Interesting. So ... I want something from you now." She missed the point.?So Jesus turned to her sons, James and John, and said, "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?" (verse 22). Jesus wasn't referring to a literal cup, but to the cup of the wrath of God, the cup of the judgment of God. He was using the cup as a metaphor for what he was about to face.?Later, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will" (Matthew 26:39). Scourging and crucifixion were horrific, but for Jesus, the worst thing on the cross was having to take the sins of all people for all time upon himself. He had never sinned.?When Jesus was crucified, who was on his right and his left? Two criminals. And if Jesus had answered that mother's prayer, that is where her two sons would have ended up. ?It is a good thing God doesn't answer all of our prayers. As Garth Brooks sings, "Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers." God has his way, and God has his will. That is why we should always remember to ask for God's will above our own.?The second story from Matthew 20 introduces us to two blind men who show us the right way to pray. As Jesus passed by them, they cried out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!" (verse 30).?Jesus stopped and said to them, "What do you want me to do for you?" (verse 32).?They told Jesus they wanted to receive their sight, and Jesus had compassion on them and gave them what they asked for.?We can learn a lot about how to pray from the actions of these two men. They prayed in a time of crisis, and so should we. There is no shame in that. Jesus was there, so they called out to him. That is what prayer is all about - putting us in touch with God.?They also prayed with passion and persistence. So often there is little power in our prayers because there is little heart in our prayers. When we need God's help, we should pray with passion and persistence.?What is your need right now? Do you have a physical need like the blind men did? Call out to Jesus. Do you have a child or a marriage that needs help? Call out to Jesus. Are you reaping consequences of foolish things that you've done? Call out to Jesus. Don't give up.??FROM THE HEART??IF YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED THROUGH THIS MINISTRY, THEN WE ASK THAT YOU WOULD PLEASE REMEMBER PROPHECY UPDATE IN YOUR GIVING - WE ARE TRULY,?TRULY,?THANKFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT??Prophecy Update has no corporate sponsors.
