Amos Chapter 9
11 “On that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old.
 12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, 
 and all the Gentiles who are called by My name,”
 Says the Lord who does this thing.
Because of this people are saying that the temple must be and will be rebuilt so that sacrifices may resume for Israel once again. Some Jewish people say that their Messiah will rebuild it, and this Messiah will be human, and not a God. But some Christians say Israel will rebuild it, not to replace the sacrifice of Jesus but to bring Israel back to God. When we hear things like this it can be quite confusing to those who are new as Christians. So let us look at what is going on here.

Not long ago I was browsing through a forum, and I came across a question that was addressed to anyone who could answer it.  “Why did the Jews reject Christ and still reject Him today considering that he was one of their own, a Jew also?” The person who answered this question answered it with four points and finished it with a conclusion.
1 He must rule Israel as King
2 He must usher in an era of peace
3 He must rebuild the temple
4 And most importantly, he must not die until all this is done.
Conclusion:-  Since Jesus didn’t do those things; He cannot have been the Messiah.
After I read this I felt God wanted me to pursue Him on this matter, so I spent quite a bit of time praying about this so I could find out what God’s thoughts are on this matter. After quite a few weeks, lots of prayer and reading and research I would like to try and answer the first and fourth point; “He must rule Israel as King “and “And most importantly He must not die until all this is done”

To all who are listening, Jew or Gentile are you ready to repent? The Sign of Jonah is a powerful message of hope to all Nations

“Who are you listening to?” Which voice are you following when God challenges our hearts with a message? Throughout life God works hard to align your heart with His, and sometimes dramatic situations happen for a reason because we are listening to the wrong heart. This episode looks at why Jesus walked on the water and the reason why the disciples back then and the Nation of Israel to this day do not recognize their own Messiah.

Today’s topic is about Hell. I often see in movies or TV series that relate to the medieval times that have certain people in the streets of towns wearing a placard that usually says something along the lines of “Turn or Burn in Hell”. For me, there is something not quite right about these sorts of statements. Is this a message from God “Turn or Burn” or a message from man? Was Hell put in place as a deterrent for mankind and angels? And at the end of this Podcast and I will throw in a thought that will get you thinking. 

Today God had put on my heart that He is the one who rebuilds, reconnects, and restarts relationships with people for the better. There is a verse in Jeremiah 29:11 that says “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  I often hear and see this verse randomly on Facebook or just someone quoting it to encourage another person in life. But God pushed me further to see what is really behind this verse so often quoted. So I decided to read the Book of Jeremiah, Book of Lamentations and the Book of Ezekiel. It was like… wow, talk about a lot of doom and gloom. And yet in these three books, God offers a hope and a future.
