If you are one who believes this has already taken place, then before you continue, write down the scriptures you use to prove your position.

I say that because this teaching will Prove with SCRIPTURE beyond ANY DOUBT the preaching which says TRUE ISRAEL returned to the Promised Land in 1948 is an absolute LIE!!!  Not only that, but reveal to you the truth of whom those people really are who reside in Palestine today.  They ARE COUNTERFEIT  “JEWS.”

 Have your scriptures in hand (if you have any) so you can compare them to the scriptures that will be quoted here.  Such comparison will be necessary to see the truth of the subject.

END TIME DECEPTION

We must first understand the severity of the deception in this day, and the peril involved with falling prey to it.

As Christ said in Mat 7:

³Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: ¹⁴Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

¹⁵Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

 Notice He used a word, which was translated as “many”.  What is THAT word???  It is #4183 in Dr. Strong’s Dictionary, “polus”.  Look it up for yourself.  It defines as “plenteous, largely, MOSTLY”.  There is no mistake about it.  By “many” He means THE MAJORITY!!!

 Remember, I did not say this.  I am merely quoting Christ.

Here we see two types of people.  Those that are “headed for destruction,” and those who are “headed unto life.”  They are described as the MANY, and the FEW.  The word “many” is referring to the majority, and the word “few” is referring to the minority.  And, the MAJORITY that is headed for DESTRUCTION is being led by FALSE PROPHETS IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING!!!  Are you hearing Him???

Then Christ goes on to say:

²¹  Not every one that saith unto me, Master, Master, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. ²²Many  (meaning MOST or the majority) will say to me in that day, Master, Master, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? ²³And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

As a quick side note, notice it says they PROPHESIED in His name.  Oh, how many are prophesying in His Name in ERROR?  I really wonder how many of those who continually prophesy realize the seriousness of doing so in error?  90% of the prophecies I have received are totally wrong, and yet they continue right on with their prophesying.  Oh, what a surprise they have coming!

Here we read that Christ Himself warned us about being deceived, and that by THE MAJORITY of those who are preaching Christ, and thought they are doing great works for Him.  NOT EVERYONE who is preaching Christ and doing seemingly great works for Him are of Him, as MOST OF THEM are HEADED FOR DESTRUCTION!!!  This is serious business people.  Remember, I did not say this, HE DID!!!

We are living in the realm of lies, and illusions, and there is no way to live in this realm created from the Tree of Death, and not be affected by it.  The sincere will find where they are being deceived.  The insincere will NEVER come into such knowledge.  It is not so awful to be deceived, as it is to never discover and admit such deception, and then turn from it.

I cannot say this strong enough people.  Our very position for ETERNITY is at stake!!!  If we succumb to these deceivers, WE HAVE HAD IT!!!  We are NOT on a Pleasure Cruise, but in a WAR ZONE.  A war over where we shall reside for eternity!!!  These deceivers have been sent by Satan to delude us into eternal damnation.  Are you hearing me???  The walk with Christ is not some easy road with no pitfalls.  You can think you are saved, and be headed for the LAKE OF FIRE!!!

We read in 2^nd Thes 2:10………

¹⁰And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: ¹²That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

That is a strong warning folks.  If you are one who thinks it really does not matter what you believe, LISTEN UP!  We are not on a pleasure cruise, but deciding where we will spend ETERNITY!

By Rev. 12, we know Satan is the deceiver of the whole earth.  It has been taught by the MAJORITY of the ministers most of my life that the Chosen People were gathered back to the Promised Land starting in 1948.  Is this a truth, or is it a damning heresy that has been programmed into the minds of the “Christians?”  Let us take a look at what the Word has to say from the beginning, and see what the truth is of this subject.

The first mention of the TRUE re-gathering is found in Duet 30. Moses, a prophet, in speaking to both the House of Judah AND The House of Israel, has fully taught what they must do to be successful in following God.  In this verse, he prophesies to both Houses of the Chosen People that they would fail, and be driven out of the Promised Land. Then he tells them when they will be re-gathered. If you read it carefully, you will see how it correlates with our being gathered from wherever we might be, caught up with Christ, and our being changed from the corruptible, to the incorruptible.

Remember, when God says something through one of His prophets, IT MUST COME TO PASS!!!  And, come to pass in His way and time.  The question here is, what is prophesied to happen, and then WHEN DOES IT???  The only way to find this out is to put it into a proper perspective with other scriptures that speak of the same event.  In each case, they will not only confirm what has been stated, but clarify.

Deuteronomy 30

¹And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee, ²And shalt return unto God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; ³That THEN the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither God hath scattered thee. ⁴If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: ⁵And God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

Now, let’s take a look at what Moses has just said.  I ask: What must happen in order for the gathering back to the Promised Land to take place?

They will return to God, and obey all that He has commanded them to follow as described by: “return unto God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day.” This certainly includes the “coming to Christ.”

From where are they gathered?  From all over the earth and all over HEAVEN!!!

What will it be like when He has gathered them???

He will DO THEM GOOD.  According to the Commandments He gave them, they WILL BE BLESSED as the curses will have been removed.

I ask:  HAS THIS COME TO PASS YET???  Have they been gathered from all over heaven?  Are the ones in Palestine today BLESSED???  Certainly NOT, for they have not yet fulfilled: “return unto God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day.”  They are in a constant state of war with the whole mid-east being an endless powder keg ready to be detonated.  But for the financial support of the United States, they could not survive for even a week.  As you will see, THEY ARE CURSED!

Obviously, they will NOT be sinful after they have been re-gathered.  So, are the ones in Israel today without sin because they have listened to God?  Listen?  Good grief, they hate Christ, and will serve Him NOT!!!

Now listen up folks.  The “Jews” in Israel today do NOT base their religion in the Bible, but in The Babylonian Talmud!!  It is a SATANIC WRITING!!!  In one place it says, “Christ is in hell being boiled in hot excrement!!!”  And God has moved to gather them back to the Promised Land??  I think not.

God drove The House of Israel out of the Promised Land because OF THEIR WICKEDNESS!!!  He did the same to The House of Judah.  And now we are to believe MOST of the ministers that God moved in His glory to gather them back to The Promised Land as prophesied when they are more wicked than the ones He drove out???  People, God is not a mixed up mind changing God.  Most of the Ministers YES, BUT NOT GOD!  Anyone who teaches such is very ignorant of what the scripture has to say, and certainly does NOT KNOW GOD and all of His righteous ways.  Neither does anyone who believes them!

So, again I ask:  Has this scripture taken place??  Has every aspect of it been fulfilled?  Are they living according to all that God has commanded?  Have they come to Christ, or DO THEY HATE HIM?

This is prophesied to ALL of the chosen people, meaning both the House of Judah, and The House of Israel.  The House of Israel NEVER went by the name of “Jew”.  So, I first of all ask, have you or I, or any other Anglo-Saxon (member of the House of Israel) been re-gathered to the Promised Land??? Have the graves been opened so they can be gathered from all over heaven???  If not, then how could this prophecy have already come to pass???  (See “So Who Is The House of Israel In The World Today”)

Now listen to what the Prophet Ezekiel says in 37:12-14 & 23.  See if it correlates with what was stated by Moses in Deut. 30:

“Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith God; Behold, O my people, I will OPEN YOUR GRAVES , and cause you to come up out of your graves, and BRING (gather) YOU INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL. And ye shall know that I am God, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, and shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I SHALL PLACE YOU IN YOUR OWN LAND ” . . . . . .”Neither shall they defile themselves ANY MORE with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with ANY of their transgressions: but I will save them out of ALL their DWELLING PLACES, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.”

Now, what are the stipulations in this scripture in regard to the time the Chosen People are gathered back to the Promised Land???  There is NO WAY to say this gathering has taken place until every aspect of the re-gathering specified has been fulfilled. 

Was this all true when those that are in Palestine took it over in 1948???  Is it true of those who are there today?

The FIRST THING that takes place is: I will OPEN YOUR GRAVES , and cause you to come up out of your graves , and BRING (gather) YOU INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL.

Were the “graves” opened and the dead arise in 1948???

Are they without SIN???  Have they come to Christ??? 

The re-gathering to Israel takes place clearly at the “first resurrection” when the “dead shall arise”. This is when we are changed from the corruptible, into the incorruptible.  There is NO other way to be without the capability to sin!!!

(Doug Cook Note:  This passage can also mean they can spiritually come up out of their graves of the dead religions they have been following, which doesn’t necessarily mean it has to happen at the literal resurrection time when the “dead shall arise.”  It could happen before that time.  However, he is right in they must all come to Christ before they can be gathered into the land of Israel, which definitely did not happen in 1948 and has not occurred yet.)

If you should think these scriptures are speaking of something different than what happened in 1948, then please tell me what scriptures do speak of that time.

The Return of Christ, the opening of the graves, the being changed from the corruptible into the incorruptible, and our being gathered back to the Promised Land, all take place at the same time!!! 

Therefore, Israel is NOT re-gathered unto the Promised Land until the dead have been resurrected; they are changed and will never sin again; have been gathered from all over the earth and heaven; and therefore experience NOTHING BUT BLESSINGS!!!  If what I am saying is not so, then please explain the above scriptures to me.

Now, what did Christ have to say about the time of our being gathered?

Mat 24

⁹Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: ³⁰And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. ³¹And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

Here we see Him telling us we shall be gathered from all over the earth, and from all over heaven.  When is that to take place???  IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION!!!

The re-gathering to Israel takes place clearly at the “first resurrection” when the “dead shall arise”. This is when we are changed from the corruptible, into the incorruptible.  There is NO other way to be without the capability to sin!!!

The Return of Christ, the opening of the graves, the being changed from the corruptible into the incorruptible, and our being gathered back to the Promised Land, all take place at the same time!!! 

Therefore, Israel is NOT re-gathered unto the Promised Land until THE RETURN OF Christ!!! Anyone who says otherwise is LYING. Maybe doing so in ignorance, but still guilty. If what I am saying is not so, then please explain the above scriptures to me.

Now let’s see what Christ had to say in Luke 21:

And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? ⁸And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. ⁹But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

He is once again clearly warning us to not be deceived by the “many” (meaning the majority) that will come in His name, and preaching that He (Christ) is Christ.  What are the “most” preaching today about the Christ hating “Jews” in Palestine???

Then He goes on to say:

²⁰And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. ²¹Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereunto. ²²For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

²³But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. ²⁴And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Christ is speaking of the end times, and what will take place right up unto the time of His return.  He says:  Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled!!!  You cannot get any clearer than that!  Jerusalem is to be trodden down BY THE GENTILES, non-Israel people, right up until He returns!!!  Anyone who says otherwise is calling Him a LIAR, and most assuredly PREACHING A DECEPTION!!!

So I ask, how could the re-gathering of God’s chosen people have already taken place when according to what He just stated, those that are in Jerusalem today ARE GENTILES!!!

²⁵And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; ²⁶Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. ²⁷And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. ²⁸And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

The important truth to see here is that Jerusalem is to be trodden down, ruled over, BY GENTILES (non Israel people)  until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled.  And, when does that time come to an end???  AT HIS RETURN AFTER THE GREAT TRIBULATION HAS TAKEN PLACE!!!

Paul was steeped in his knowledge of the scriptures. The only scripture he had in that day is what we today erroneously call “The Old Testament”. If this was not where he got his revelation from concerning our being changed, and gathered unto Christ, then show me where he got it. 

What is that REDEMPTION that will draw nigh???  Paul tells us in 1 Cor 15

⁵¹Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, ⁵²In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ⁵³For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

It is when the DEAD ARE RAISED, and we are all changed from the corruptible, to the incorruptible.  From this time forth, we shall never again sin.  We will have turned back to God, never again sin, and it is then Duet 30 comes to pass, as He gathers us back to the Promised Land.

When does the LAST TRUMPET SOUND??  We find that out in the Book of Revelation.  We first read of the “trumpets” in 8:6…….

⁶And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

Here we see there were to be SEVEN TRUMPETS to be sounded.  There are no more trumpets AFTER this seventh one.  So what happens when the LAST ONE, the seventh one sounds???  We find that in 10:7…..

⁷But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.  

What is this MYSTERY God declared to HIS PROPHETS???  It is the same MYSTERY Paul stated, and what all of the Prophets Prophesied as outlined above concerning our being gathered.!!!

In 2^nd Thes 2 we read more of what Paul had to say about this “being gathered”:

¹Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, ²That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

³  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin (the anti-Christ) be revealed, the son of perdition; ⁴Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. ⁵Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

⁸And then shall that Wicked be revealed (the anti-Christ), whom Christ shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: ⁹Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.

Paul is telling us first of all to NOT BE DECEIVED concerning the return of Christ, and our being gathered unto Him.  Obviously, this is telling us that the gathering takes place at the time of Christ’s RETURN (see Deut 30 above) when He shall DESTROY the anti-Christ.

This changing, raising of the dead, and the gathering cannot take place until AFTER the appearance of anti-Christ whom Christ destroys with His coming!!!

Few people are aware of the reality of the WAR being fought between Satan and God over who will rule the earth.  This is why the earth was created, and what is really going on RIGHT NOW as it comes to its climax.  We see this war by what Satan (Lucifer) declared in Isa 14, and what God says in return:

¹²How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! ¹³ For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: ¹⁴I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. ¹⁵Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

What most people do not understand is God chose Jerusalem as the place from which the earth is to be ruled.  This is a rather long story, but this is why there is so much conflict in the area.  Many want to rule from this position.  In order for Satan to win this war, his “counterfeit Messiah” must be enthroned in Jerusalem, and have total dictatorial control over the earth and every nation upon it.  This is where the Overcomers come into play, and according to what is prophesied in Rev 12, overcome Satan the deceiver of the whole earth, and cause his TOTAL DEFEAT.  (See “The Kingdom Mandate” article for the whole exp.)

So, if the “Jews” in Israel today are GENTILES and NOT the chosen, then WHO ARE THEY???  We find that out in Rev. 2:9 and 3:9………..

⁹I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

⁹Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Here we see by the very words of Christ there are those ON THIS EARTH who claim to be “Jews”, God’s chosen people, but THEY DO LIE, and are of the SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN!!!  Talk about a “STRONG DELUSION,” right?

Satan cannot create anything new.  He can only COUNTERFEIT what God says and does.  Even as God has a chosen people, SO DOES SATAN, and those counterfeits are claiming to be “Jews” but ARE NOT of Judah, and ARE LIARS!!!

So now we see who these “GENTILES,” these non Israel people are who are trodding down Jerusalem, and will until the return of Christ. 

What is known by few is what is happening in Palestine today is the fulfillment of Prophecy, but NOT the “Prophesied Re-Gathering of ISRAEL to the Promised Land“.   It is the “evil figs“ of Jeremiah 24, and the “evil fig tree” Christ cursed.  Christ was NOT cursing His own people, but those  God hates, and as you will see, is Esau.

The evil fig tree is the “Edomites”, the chosen people of Satan.  Anyone who will take the time to do an intense study of the NWO and all involved with it, will find these “Edomite Counterfeit Jews” are the ones behind it ALL, and therefore ruling it.  This IS Satan’s WORLD AUTHORITY on this earth, even as God’s chosen are to bring forth HIS AUTHORITY on this earth.  Christ “cursed” this evil fig tree, and taught us we are to cast this WORLD AUTHORITY into the sea, meaning we are to RID THE EARTH OF IT, and certainly NOT give them support.  If we give support to these vipers, these COUNTERFEIT “JEWS,” we are committing the act of HIGH TREASON!!! (See “Jacob I Loved, Esau I Hated” )

Let me give a brief recap of what the scriptures, and NOT men of today, have to say about the re-gathering of Israel to The Promised Land.

* We read Christ Himself warned us about being deceived, and that by THE MAJORITY of those who are preaching Christ, and think they are doing great works for Him

* That they will return to God, and obey all that He has commanded them to follow as described by: “return unto God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day.” This certainly includes the “coming to Christ.”

From where are they gathered?   From all over the earth and all over HEAVEN!!!

What will it be like when He has gathered them???

He will DO THEM GOOD.  According to the Commandments He gave them, they WILL BE BLESSED as the curses will have been removed.

* The FIRST THING that takes place is: I will OPEN YOUR GRAVES , and cause you to come up out of your graves , and BRING (gather) YOU INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL.

Were the “graves” opened and the dead arose in 1948???

Are they without SIN???  Have they come to Christ??? 

* The re-gathering to Israel takes place clearly at the “first resurrection” when the “dead shall arise”. This is when we are changed from the corruptible, into the incorruptible.  There is NO other way to be without the capability to sin!!!

* The Return of Christ, the opening of the graves, the being changed from the corruptible into the incorruptible, and our being gathered back to the Promised Land, all take place at the same time!!! 

Therefore, Israel is NOT re-gathered unto the Promised Land until the dead have been resurrected; they are changed and will never sin again; have been gathered from all over the earth and heaven; and therefore experience NOTHING BUT BLESSINGS!!!   You can mock what I say, BUT  NOT THE WORD OF GOD!!!

*In Mat 24 we read where Christ said we shall be gathered from all over the earth, and from all over heaven.  When is that to take place???  IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TRIBULATION!!!  Therefore, Israel is NOT re-gathered unto the Promised Land until THE RETURN OF Christ!!!

*Christ is speaking of the end times, and what will take place right up unto the time of His return.  He says: Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled!!!  You cannot get any clearer than that!  Jerusalem is to be trodden down BY THE GENTILES, non-Israel people, right up until He returns!!!

How could the re-gathering of God’s chosen people have already taken place when according to what He just stated, those that are in Jerusalem today ARE GENTILES!!!

* So, if the “Jews” in Israel today are GENTILES and NOT the chosen, then WHO ARE THEY???  We find that out in Rev. 2:9 and 3:9………..

So now we see whom these “GENTILES,” these non-Israel people who are trodding down Jerusalem really are, and will be there until the return of Christ.   They are the COUNTERFEIT JEWS, Satan’s chosen.

Are you beginning to see why we are constantly WARNED about being deceived, and that a STRONG DELUSION is being sent upon those that will not receive “the love for the truth?”

Every “minister” that teaches the “Jews” in Israel today is the fulfillment of prophecy is BLATANTLY DECEIVING THE PEOPLE and in extreme danger of the consequences for doing so.

Stop and consider for a moment, just who are the MOST, the MAJORITY of the ministers that are preaching this damning lie???  Are MOST, the MAJORITY of the people being deceived by them???  If they are deceiving the people on this one, how many other doctrines are they teaching that are also deceptions???

I doubt if even 1 in a million consciously realize the gravity involved with what they believe.  The question here is: HOW ABOUT YOU???
