Israel and Christ (Tues.Class, 1-17-2017)

Rynna had grandchildren clinging to her legs as she left this morning.  She told them that the class was for ten hours, to bring some rest/recovery.

CURRENT POLITICS TO DO WITH USA/ISRAEL/GOSPEL
From Jerusalem Post:  Jared Kushner will broker the Middle East peace. He and his wife are Orthodox Jews and strictly do not drive on the Sabbath—they walk to the Chabad Synagogue, a seven-minute walk.  It’s surprising that they announce this per security.  They will live in a multi-million dollar home, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

Think of the box that this put Benjamin Netanyahu in. [Orthodox vs not Orthodox Jews.]

Did you see Obama in total denial on TV 60-Minutes, “Oh, that didn’t cause any problems [the denial vote in the UN.]”  His big ego leads to his pride overcoming rational thinking.  

The intolerance is also shown by not attending the Inauguration.  As a ‘tolerant’ nation, we see our own intolerance.  They don’t study on their own but take the 90% of media against Trump. They don’t report things and report false things.  Fake News has been going on for decades, like with Dan Rather—he now teaches college, “Ethics in News”. 

Wikileaks reveals that The Obama Administration initiated the UN vote against Israel.

The Peace summit in Paris of 70 nations was a dud, thank Goodness.  From the J-Post:  Zech 2:12 surely who touches you [Israel] touches the apple of my eye.

Palestine opens their embassy for the first time at the Vatican in Rome, Italy. 

Trump vowed to move the Capitol of Israel to Jerusalem.  Here’s some history on the West Bank: It was only claimed by Jordan, and only recognized by UK, Iraq, and Pakistan. UN Resolution 242 was a ‘peace resolution’ and the backbone of further negotiations.   It gives Israel the right to be in the West Bank.  It’s from the Johnson Adm.  ((Reading: until a just and lasting peace is achieved.))

David Freedman was appointed as Ambassador.  People think he is a man of high integrity and the United States should move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.  Jordan says it will start a war and cause bloodshed. It is a right for Israel to build housing, as agreed to when Palestinians signed the Oslo Accords in 1993.

No one disputes that the land was rightfully that of Israel — Jordan took over for a brief period from 1948 to 1967.  Who wants to grant land to people who say, “You don’t have the right to exist.”  The Sadducees reached out and Putin who then toured the temple mount grounds — They want Trump and Putin to build the Third Temple. God’s ways are not our ways. The Dome of the Rock does not have to go because Mt Moriah extends 600 ft out and could very easily be built South of the Dome of the Rock.  The Dome of the Rock is built upon Solomon’s Temple, but Jewish belief is not always according to prophesy.  They believe that the dome over a rock is where Abraham nearly offered Isaac as a sacrifice, and where Mohammad ascended.

Adam offered sacrifice to God from Mt Moriah.  You see the mount in a film we have seen.  David was an army king and whatever he said was carried out.  He looked for the greatest fortress, and asked God, and moved on top of that mountain.  Besides being elevated and on rock, it had underground wells. The wall of Jerusalem was built.  Jesus healed people around those pure waters.

THEOLOGY STUDY
Freedom of information act …
We started the year with fascinating scriptures and science of life and death.  Jesus raised three people from the dead.  We go through it to understand the resurrection and atonement of Jesus Christ.   [Rynna reviewed for those not attending last time.  We’ll see the video again.]

The 12-yr-old girl was the daughter of a Synagogue man name Jairus.  There were 37 miracles of Jesus in his last year.  These three are unique in giving the names of recipients:  two of them are in the raising of the dead, then the blind man named Artinya. 

To understand how we will be resurrected, it helps to understand what happens to our bodies at death, the three stages are fascinating. The widow’s son was the first, representative of Jesus Christ, the son of Mary.  Jesus used the word ‘resurrection’ in Greek, even though they were resuscitated to live and die later of natural causes. 

Back in Galilee, Jesus is walking and the powerful father rushes forward and prostrates himself to ask Jesus to come to raise his daughter. Mark is the oldest of the Gospels and has the greatest details;  Matthew has eight verses and cuts to the chase, writing to the Jews.   Luke is the physician.

Matthew says she was dead;  Mark and Luke say she was hanging on.  Imagine what Jairus was thinking when Jesus stopped to heal the woman with an issue of blood.  Jairus was told, no hurry was needed because the daughter was ‘gone’.  Mark 5:36 “Fear not, only believe.” 

The little girl had only been dead for several hours.  See handout.  The first stages of death, death chill, body reaches room temp with Algor mortis, then in two to six hours rigor mortis sets in. The napkin on the face of the deceased creates a private space since the ‘soul’ lingers in a state of anxiety until the body is buried.

Jews believe in the resurrection of the dead at the coming of Messiah.  You should not tamper with the body—it is cemented in Jewish Law.  They prefer burial per religious believe. Holocaust was horrific to them especially.  It is one thing to die and another to be desecrated, before and after death, being just tossed into mass graves.

There is the spiritual world and the Earth is also a physical world.  [Watched the dau. Video] Prayer.
