Prophetic Vision, Summer 2017 #84

David Hathaway No 84 Summer 2017

God has never lost His power. In Israel last year I faced a tremendous challenge.

Maybe you don’t fully understand the magnitude – I went to bring Jesus as Messiah to 4000 people – evangelism is against the law but Messiah is a Jew! There is freedom of religion in Israel, but if you evangelise, you are arrested and they tear up your visa – it happened to a young couple I know who were working with children – and they weren’t allowed back!

But God has given me absolute freedom.

Every time I go to Israel, I’m invited into the Knesset and they thank me for my work!

Last September after my ‘concert’, they presented me with a United Nations award for 50 years’ humanitarian, social and human rights activity – and mission!

Presented in the Knesset!

I have been regularly ministering in Israel for the last 5 years, since the pioneer event in 2011 – when I was the first! In September 2016 the challenge was to take the big Roman amphitheatre in Caesarea on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea and to fill it with 4000 Jews. It was testing even my faith!

We went one week in advance to pray!

The Roman theatre belongs to the government, but we had permission to use it and we had a legal contract. We had paid a lot of money. But an UltraOrthodox Jewish sect opposed me. They attacked. They took out a legal injunction to stop me and told the director that, if he allowed me to take the arena, he would bear legal consequences with the government. Now, as a mission – with your support – we are putting an enormous amount of humanitarian aid into Israel to help the Holocaust Survivors and other socially deprived and needy

2

groups in Israel. More than £100,000 every month… But there is a law in Israel which says you cannot give any financial inducement to influence anyone to change their religion; this was the accusation levelled against me – the humanitarian aid was the evidence. What could I do? Legally, they could judge against me. So we had to pray! I cried out, “O God, You have NEVER been defeated in history!” That’s true! Nowhere in the world has God ever been defeated! So I said, “O God, we must NOT be defeated here in Israel, we MUST hold this Gospel outreach.” Now this is how God works miracles: one year ago, I became very friendly with a minister in the Knesset in the Foreign Affairs department, though I only met him that once. My legal advisor, who works in the Parliament, spoke to him, and this member of the Knesset spoke to the director of the stadium, saying, “I know David personally, he is a friend of Israel, he loves Israel, he does nothing bad – you must not stop him in Caesarea!” That was the first miracle. We had the stadium!

Then the next miracle. To bring 4000 Jews from all over Israel we had chartered over 100 buses. This Ultra-Orthodox sect threatened the bus company that, if they allowed us to use the buses, they would lose all their government contracts – the company would be bankrupted! In fear, they cancelled all our buses, just two days before we were to be in the stadium on the Saturday – and remember Shabbat, (when no work can be done, no contracts can be arranged), begins on the Friday afternoon!!! We had no buses!!! We cannot bring anybody to the stadium!!! But God has NEVER been defeated! I was crying out, “O God, You

will NOT be defeated now! In Jesus’ Name we take the victory!” The leaders of the Holocaust organisations called my organisers, “Don’t worry! We will find the buses ourselves!” And in 2 days, they found more than one hundred replacement buses! And 4000 people came! You can see it on YouTube!

But the Ultra-Orthodox didn’t stop there.

They sent some of their ‘bully boys’ to break into the stadium and destroy the meeting. That’s what they do! And because they could not travel to Caesarea on the Sabbath, they travelled on the Friday and camped all night on the beach outside the stadium. They were there before us! What was I going to do? Was I going to roll over and die and be a ‘normal’ Christian? No! I believe in fighting! This is a battle! So I prayed, “O God I want You to put a wall of fire around the stadium!” Why not? “O God, I want angels with flaming swords!”

That’s what the Bible talks about! What happened? The Israeli military and police – with guns (not flaming swords) – rounded up all the bully boys, “We know you!”

They photographed them and their documents, and said, “If there is any trouble in the stadium, we have your pictures and your documents, we will hold you responsible! Now you are free to go!” So all the troublemakers went home! And when the people arrived, the police used our buses to form a barricade around the premises! – A wall of fire! You see, God does it! God gave us a wall of fire – the buses! And He gave us angels with flaming swords – the Israeli military with guns! Why don’t YOU ask?!! I literally serve the God of my Bible, do you?!!

But what did the devil do then? He wasn’t

David Hathaway,Copenhagen, Denmark, 2016 finished! We arrived two hours before the meeting was to begin to find there was a storm from the Mediterranean stronger than they had ever experienced in Caesarea before. There was a big steel gantry on the stage to hold the loudspeakers and screens and the wind was making the whole thing swing so violently that the police said, “Nobody can come in the stadium, it’s too dangerous, the wind will bring it down on the people!”

We had fought all these battles and won – and now, the people can’t come in!!!

I’m a Bible-believing Christian! I stood on the platform and prayed, “O God, in the Name of Jesus, stop this wind!!! Two thousand years ago, my Jesus stopped the storm on Galilee. O God, stop this storm on the Mediterranean – NOW!” And the storm stopped. The wind calmed. And all the people came in. The meeting started on time and my preaching was broadcast live to all Israel on national TV! This is the power of God! And this was Caesarea, where Peter first preached to the Gentiles, and from where Paul left for his imprisonment in Rome. I’m excited because, up in Heaven, Peter and Paul were also excited! I could imagine them saying, “Come on! Do it!” – Nothing is impossible! And I’ve never ever heard the devil admit he’s been defeated, but those Orthodox Jews wrote on their website, “Today we lost 5000 souls!” Well, I thought it was only 4000!

God said to me, “Shut up, stop talking, I’m tired of listening to you. Go out and DO the things you are talking about!” I left my church and went out and did it! And I am still doing it today! For more than 50 years I have seen the power of God like no other man I know.

If your Jesus is the Jesus of the Bible, He will do today what He did 2000 years ago! And MORE! This is a challenge – to you! To the Church!

There’s one book in the Bible which is not finished. It’s the Acts of the Apostles. It began two thousand years ago – and it will not end till Jesus comes back. We’re writing the Acts of the Apostles today! I want to read the page YOU have written! God wants to see it! He’s waiting to see what you have written...

When I was 13, I started preaching.

Sundays, when we had finished church – out on the street – talking about Jesus!

We were taught, “Don’t preach. No sermons. Just talk about Jesus. Say what Jesus has DONE in your life!” To me, this is more powerful than anything else. If you preach, people will argue against you.

But if you talk about what Jesus has DONE for YOU, nobody can contradict your testimony. But how much has Jesus done in your life?!! Come on! All those exciting powerful things, all those miracles...

Do you understand, how great our God is?!! God has ALL POWER! And this God has never lost His Power – we have to tap into it!!! It was thousands of years before they discovered atomic power and found the secret of releasing the power in the atom... How long is it going to take the Church to realise the power in Jesus’ Name?!!

little. That one year in a communist prison – I lost everything. I lost my travel company, my wife had no income, no support, my girls left school to get jobs to help their mother. When I came out of prison I had only debts. And within a few weeks of my release, my own church ex-communicated me. Why? I’d been in prison for preaching the Gospel and I told them, “I must go back to those communist countries.” They said, “You’re crazy, you mustn’t do it! If you don’t accept a pastorate here, we will forbid you to preach in our churches!” – This was AFTER they had invited me to speak for them to five thousand people in their great Easter Convention in the Royal Albert Hall! You see, I paid the price to return to Russia, and God has blessed me exceedingly abundantly!

Salvation is NOT free! You know and I know, to the sinner it is free. But it cost Jesus His life. It cost God His Only Son. Salvation is NOT free! To the sinner – yes.

But to God – it cost Him everything.

Last November I went back to my communist prison in Prague – to remind myself of the price I have paid. And to remember that God didn’t love me when I was an evangelist, He didn’t love me when I was a Christian – He loved me when I was a sinner. This is why I have such a passion for what I do. In that prison, I didn’t see those men as criminals, I saw them as God sees them – somebody’s husband, father, brother, son – and I saw what God could do with them – AND WHAT GOD CAN DO WITH YOU!

Jesus said, “I go to My Father, I’m going to send the Holy Spirit, and when He is come, He will baptise you with fire – and these signs will follow you: you’ll preach the Gospel, you’ll heal the sick...” And He said something very strong, He said, “When you receive the Holy Spirit, you will do the same miracles I do – and greater!” Greater!!! Come on! The Church must do MORE than Jesus did!!! That’s what your Bible says! (Mark 16:17-20; Acts 1:8; John 10:25 &14:12.)

Two thousand years ago, Jesus came to earth, died on a cross – to bring salvation to the WHOLE world. Christ died, not for the Church, but for the WORLD! With power, with authority! When He ascended into Heaven, how many did He leave behind? Only eleven. What would have happened if those eleven had failed? All His work would have been in vain! Do you understand what I’m saying? If we fail, His death on the cross was a failure, because He died not just for us, but for the whole world!

Oh that we could see ourselves as God sees us! O God, open our eyes, forgive every sin, baptise us with fire – in Jesus’ Name! – More fire, every day, as long as I live! Increasing fire! Stronger! – Because it’s not just about how we react today, it’s how we react for the rest of our lives... For me, Caesarea in Israel in 2016 was the pinnacle of my life! Miracles, witnessed by thousands of people! But for me, I can’t look at the past, I’m already looking at the future. Wow, if we could do that yesterday, we can do something bigger tomorrow!!! That’s the challenge.

Christian, start climbing mountains! I’m asking God, “Show me a mountain no one has climbed – and then give me the faith to climb it!”

Many years ago when I was still a pastor,

There’s a price to be paid. I know only a

Nothing is impossible with God!

Do you believe in the Holy Spirit?!! Do you?!! Where’s the evidence that you believe in the same Holy Spirit I do?!!

Show me!!!

Prophetic P rophetic

David Hathaway, Geneva, Switzerland, 2017 Romans 1:16 says the GOSPEL is the POWER of God to deliver EVERYONE who will BELIEVE! In 1 Cor 4:19-20, Paul also wrote, “Some are puffed up, but I want to know, not the speech of those who are puffed up, but the POWER – for the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in POWER!” Church! – We’ve lost the sense of POWER behind God’s Words!!!

One of the miracles of the Bible is – God needs men! He’s not coming down from Heaven to do your job; He doesn’t reject us, look what He can do with us!!! One time in Siberia I was having lunch with a group of pastors – every one of them had been in prison – drug addicts, alcoholics – only one hadn’t been in prison, only because his father was secretary to the communist party! But you see what God can do with men! The POWER is not in you and me, it’s in the Gospel!!! In His Word.

Moses was a reject, he had killed a man, fled Egypt, and for 40 years lived in the backside of the desert keeping sheep.

He didn’t begin his ministry until he was 80 years old! In Exodus 3, Moses had come, with his sheep, to the Mountain of God and the Angel of the Lord appeared to him out of a burning bush...

Moses looked, but he did not look at the Angel, he looked at the fire! It was the fire that attracted his attention, because the fire was burning, yet the bush was not destroyed! And when the Lord saw that Moses had turned aside to look, then God called him! Wow! I like the God of fire to talk to me! And God said, “I have seen the affliction of My people – in Africa, in the Middle East, wherever you are – because of your politicians and rulers, because of your hard taskmasters – I know your sorrows – and I am come down to deliver!”

This is so powerful!!! Many Christians tell me they are waiting for God. But God says, “I AM ALREADY HERE!” He’s here now! I’m not waiting, I’ve found Him, He’s moving in power! Whatever you want,

whatever you need, GOD HAS ALREADY COME! Stop waiting, ACT! If you believe God is here, do all the things you would do if you thought He was here! What would you be doing today if you thought God was in your town? That challenges even me!!! What would I be doing if I thought God was here?!! – We don’t act as if He were here... We’re talking to Him up in Heaven somewhere... But He says, I AM COME DOWN! God is saying to you today, “If you want to see the Glory of God, turn aside!” In your busy life, turn aside! In your home, in your business, stop for a moment! God only spoke to Moses when he turned aside from his sheep, from the mundane... And when God saw that he turned aside, He spoke! I love to spend time alone in prayer, on the mountains, away from my phone and the computers. I NEED to turn aside and realise, He’s here!

How do we ‘see’ God? We see Him in the miracles. I cannot heal the sick, I cannot save a sinner. Only God! Ok, He might use me... If you are a gardener or a mechanic, you use tools. That’s all I am, a tool in God’s Hands. That’s all you should be in God’s Hands! And whatever He wants, you become, whatever tool He needs, you become! In my younger days when I had an old car, often after I had driven it some distance, I had to get underneath and make some repairs to it!

I know! My car was old! That’s why, whatever the problem with it, I needed the tools to do the job. Lying under my car, I would often be asking someone to pass me the tools, pass me this specific one, because different jobs required different types of tools...

But come on, where are the tools?

Churchill in World War II said to Britain, “Give us the tools – and we’ll finish the job!” God is saying to the Church, “YOU become the tools, and I’ll finish the job, I can’t finish the job without you!” Do you

realise that? YOU are the missing tool, the missing link in the chain! And the strength of a chain is in its weakest link! The power of the Church depends on the weakest!

But God says, “Let the weak say, I’m NOT weak, I’m STRONG! I’m NOT poor, I’m RICH! I’m NOT sick, I’m HEALED! I’m NOT a child, I’m GROWN UP!” Oh that YOU would become just something in the Hand of God! A couple of years ago walking round a lake in Austria I was asking the Lord, “How can I do what Jesus did?!!” The Holy Spirit said to me, Jesus was born of a woman.

He left all His Divinity, all His Power ‘up there’ and came down. That’s why He’s called ‘Son of Man’ as well as Son of God. Born of the Holy Spirit, He came as a man and for 30 years He worked NO miracles until He was baptised in water and with the Holy Spirit. That’s why Jesus said to His disciples, after I’m gone, I will send the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit IN YOU will do greater things! Because everything Jesus did in His ministry, was done, not in His humanity, BUT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT – IN HIM! Everything I do in my ministry is not because of me, but because God just uses me as a spanner, a tool in His Hand!

Every one of you can do what I do – if you believe what God says, and if you have received the Holy Spirit! I would question some people: they say they are baptised in the Holy Spirit – but what have you done since?!! Where’s the evidence? Why should God fill you with His powerful Holy Spirit if you are not going to use the power?!! And however much power you use, there is still a thousand times more! I’m not using one percent of the power of God! But you are a son, a daughter of God! Like Jesus! We have the Holy Spirit! We can do so much more!

Let’s get back to the power and authority of God’s Word – then we can become tools in the Hand of God and the Holy Spirit will use us.

Last year, 2016, was one of the most memorable and powerful years of my life!

FIRST the incredible National Day of Prayer in Kiev in June when, for the first time in the history of the nation, the leaders of every Christian denomination came together to call upon God to deliver their land from the Russian tanks on their territory – and now on 27 May this year we come together again, with the active support of the government – because we have begun a spiritual battle in which God can never be defeated! THEN the miraculous event in Caesarea in September (see p2-3), which saw some of the most spectacular miracles of my life!

AND FINALLY, my visit just before Christmas to the war zone in Ukraine. It is one thing to pray for deliverance, for the Russians to pull back and for the bloodshed in East Ukraine to stop, from the comfort of, and surrounded by 6500 believers and all the Church leaders in Kiev (as we did in June) – but what a challenge to actually go to the frontline, to preach the Gospel and pray with the people under shell fire!

Reaching Slovyansk in the snow and ice late Friday, we left the hotel at 7.30 am Saturday, to spend 14 hours in active ministry on the frontline! We travelled in a two-car convoy, the front one a Russian Lada filled to the roof with bread; and following behind, myself and four others in an antique Ford Transit van, loaded with heavy parcels of essential food and bottled water. We drove through numerous checkpoints, past troops and guns to our first stop. The war had cut the small town in two, most residents had fled, either to the Russian or to the Ukrainian side, but approximately 500 people were left, trapped by the fighting, nowhere to go, or too old and deciding to die in their homes rather than in some desolate camp.

They were waiting for us in one of the empty houses, 30-40 people in the freezing cold, no heat, no light, no power, no food, no water either to wash or to drink, windows sandbagged, Russian-style toilet in the garden – if you dared to even go there!

We began the service, singing familiar hymns, then my chance to bring the Gospel and pray with them, mostly unbelievers, but we also met some Christians – even some who knew me!

Then came the moment when we handed out the food and water, two loaves to each person. One lady, speaking for them all, pleaded for a petrol generator to give some light and to power their mobile phones which are their only communication with the outside world.

Our Transit van broke down on the frontier, we got it going long enough to reach the next group 30 minutes away, where we

repeated the same, bright Gospel singing, preached the simple Gospel, prayed for the sick and for God to bring peace and an end to the 3-year old war, and distributed the food and water. By now help was coming, other Christians sent us two vehicles, a van to carry the food and a car to tow away our vehicle for repair (it was back at work the next day, on the frontline).

We had lost time, it was getting late, so it was dark when we reached our next stop. This was to meet the military and the Commanding Officer of that section of the frontline. Again I spoke and prayed, two of the soldiers were born-again Christians and the Commanding Officer was very open to the Gospel. Here, though it was rough, they had some basic heat, light and food – it was the Command Centre. When I referred to the ‘rebels’, and most call them ‘separatists’, the Officer said, “No, we are fighting the Russian Army with all its equipment and fire power.” It was not far from here that the civilian passenger airliner from Holland was shot down last year

by Russian men and weaponry.

Then in the darkness, and all now crammed into one vehicle as we had distributed all the food, we made our way to the final visit. I learned the ‘tricks of the trade’ as they say: when approaching a checkpoint or military base at night, you have to turn off your headlamps to avoid the checkpoint being spotted, then at the last minute you put on the interior light, so that the military can see who you are.

Just 200-300 metres from our destination we were told to stop, as by now the shelling had started. We got out of the car to watch. Although I lived through the war in London, I have never seen until now how spectacular it is – the flash of white light from the artillery gun, the glow of the red hot shell as it arcs overhead, followed by

Prophetic P rophetic

David Hathaway the crump as it lands. Only to be told that by the time you see the heat from the shell, it has already landed and the crump was probably the returning fire from the enemy, a few hundred metres from you…

Shortly the firing ended and we went the few hundred metres to our next stop, to the men who had fired the gun! They welcomed us warmly, this time a brief stop, a few words, a prayer, many photos and discovering that one of the men knew me well, his brother was in my big meetings in Georgia four years ago! He said he couldn’t get there, “but now the evangelist has come to me!” Some quick hugs and prayers and we must leave quickly before the shelling recommences.

Back to the church in Slovyansk. In 2014, the town was overrun by the Russian army – and the church taken as a strategic base from which to fire at the Ukrainian side. Bishop Demidovich, the Senior Pastor, was the first one to support the National Day of Prayer I called on 18 June last year because, he said, “I have experienced all the horrors of this terrible war. Our church building was taken, I was thrown into the basement. For six months the people of Slovyansk lived in fear under the occupation like in the Soviet times. Water and other necessary supplies were cut off. One night, watching a video clip we had of the rebel tanks firing from our church territory, my wife, despairing, said, “I cannot even pray. God does not hear.” But we had prayed. We had prayed for six months. And in the morning, Slovyansk was free!!!” It was a miracle of Biblical proportions – the Russians fled back 20 miles, in haste, leaving a ruined church – but they fled so under God’s power that they left everything behind – all their clothes, half-eaten food, half-drunk coffee, all their guns, ammunition and

military equipment – it took three truckloads to clear the weapons from the building! Bishop Demidovich gave his testimony at the National Day of Prayer and said, “Nothing can help us, only God! I want exactly the same miracle to happen in all Ukraine, to stop these bombs exploding over our heads. Therefore, we pray to the Lord to stop this war and for peace to come. It’s not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord.” The believers in Slovyansk have not only rebuilt their church, but helped the local people rebuild their houses and businesses in confident faith that the Russians will not return.

Next morning, I gave a strong message to this church, and a call to repentance – so many new believers came forward! But this is for them to join an active church, with a home for refugees, a home for the orphans, and a ministry which takes them every day to the frontline, doing what we did just once, but for them is a yearround ministry. They said, “Come back!” I will! They said that I was the only Westerner to actually visit the frontline, the only one to preach and pray there, but for me it was just another day, fulfilling the Command of Jesus – working with an active church living out the Gospel – proving the power of prayer to change our world. Too many churches are having a wonderful time in their worship, their conferences, living in a different world, celebrating, while a dying

world is already living in hell.

In my message on the frontline, I told them God was not indifferent to their suffering, that is why He sent His Only Son – to live with us in our sinful world.

He came to a people suffering under occupation by Roman troops, born not in a warm house or hospital, but in the rejection and dirt of a stable, pursued by a king who sought to kill him.

Jesus said Heaven will not be filled by the so-called ‘righteous’, but by the poor, the blind, the outcasts, the forgotten ones. That’s why Jesus came, that’s why I went back to the communist countries after my release from prison 40 year ago, that’s why I went to the frontline last December – to meet and be with those for whom Christ died! The ‘lost sheep’, not those in the fold.

That’s why I need your help. Together we will reach the lost and learn the power of prayer that the church in Slovyansk demonstrated. They believe that, in answer to prayer, the whole Russian army will leave the whole Donbass region in the same way they left Slovyansk. – And as you read this report, we will be holding the second National Day of in Kiev, with all the Ukrainian Bishops, including the one who took me to the frontline in Slovyansk. And they know that I was willing, for their sake, to stand, preach the Gospel and pray on the frontline, on a day when only 3 died, not 300, on the frontier.

Ukraine desperately needs prayer! David writes: Ukraine is in crisis – war and death on its eastern borders, families and communities across the nation divided along ethnic lines, the people angered by corruption in the government – and – the encroachment of ungodly European ‘values’ from the West. The problems in Ukraine

On 6 February, representatives of David Hathaway’s Ministry in Ukraine travelled to the so-called Ukrainian ‘Red Zone’.

This area is often the epicentre of fighting and is not fully controlled by any side in the ongoing war. David’s Ukraine staff wrote: When David visited the frontline in December, we had some specific requests for help from people living within the ‘Red Zone’. Generators, food and water can literally save the lives of some of the many people trapped there.

We know David’s heart and calling which he has from God, so we decided not to focus on ourselves, but to deliver this aid for him, even though it was at the risk of our own lives.

Yes, close by, a sniper was shooting, and just a couple of hundred metres away the real fighting was going on, but it only strengthened our determination! On behalf of his ministry, on February 6th we delivered generators to two villages in the war zone that are without electricity, heating, gas and water. More than 50 very substantial food pack-

Amid the current political upheavals in Britain, the USA, and around the world, it is easy to forget that bordering Europe is an ongoing proxy war between Western influence and Russia. Many claim that the EU has brought peace to Europe, yet quietly forget this three-year war which it is powerless to stop.

Since the collapse of communism in the 1990s and the subsequent advance of NATO right up to the borders of Russian territory, Ukraine has been squeezed between Western and Russian power blocs. Ukraine’s friendship with the EU and an American proposal to make Crimea a NATO base lit the fuse. Crimea is historically Russia’s prime naval base with access to the Mediterranean; Russia didn’t wait, it seized Crimea, then invaded East Ukraine to protect its access routes to the naval base. Since the war started in 2014 over 10,000 people have been killed, with thousands more displaced and seeking refuge.

This year the conflict has again escalated and taken a more dangerous and complicated turn: since Donald Trump took office as USA President, Ukraine has become a pawn in a very deceitful game played out between Trump, his critics, and Russia. Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Presidential Administration, Kostiatyn Yeliseieiv, said following Trump’s inauguration, “[Russia is now testing] the reaction of the new American Administration and unity inside the European Union”. What can it get away with?!!

cannot be solved solely by political or military means – the churches of Ukraine recognise that only prayer can change the destiny of their nation. On 27 May – ALL the Ukrainian churches are coming together for a second National Day of Prayer in Kiev – with the support of the Government! Please pray!

ages were delivered into the hands of old people, families with children, and those who had decided rather to die there than escape. All these people are extremely open for Christ – they received the latest edition of David’s magazine, they prayed with us and cried... More than 300 loaves of fresh bread were given to the hungry... They all thanked David and his ministry for not leaving them alone to die because of hunger and the freezing cold (it was minus 20C). So we can say that David’s ministry has saved some lives for Jesus Christ by demonstrating what the real love of God is.

Unfortunately, not everyone we met was still alive just one week later... This is the price they are paying. Under desperate circumstances one woman, mother of 3 young children, died 2 days after our meeting.

All of those people in the ‘Red Zone’ are praying now that God will continue acting in Ukraine through David’s ministry!

During the Obama years, although often criticised for his refusal to confront Putin, Kiev could count on support from Washington and the EU. But with Trump’s focus on improving relations with Russia, there is a worry in Ukraine that the country could get thrown under the bus in the service of a grand deal with Putin; after all, Trump has repeatedly said he hopes he can work together with Putin to solve many of the world’s pressing problems…

“We do hope that the Ukrainian issue will not be settled behind the back of Ukraine,” said Yelisieiev. Unfortunately, Ukraine is not the first country that America has allowed to be ‘invaded’ by Putin; in 2008, following the election of a pro-Western government in Georgia, as ‘quid-pro-quo’ Putin was allowed by the West to engage in ‘peaceenforcement’ by annexing its rebellious South Ossetia region.

Ukraine is not the only country closely watching these power games between the USA and Russia. Many EU nations which border Russia, including the 3 Baltic States and Poland, are nervously looking to see what their fate will be in this complex game of chess. After all, Germany and Russia split these countries between them once before in 1939 in the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Now in the latest revelation, just last year Moscow conspired to assassinate the Prime Minister of Montenegro in order to create civil unrest and prevent the country joining NATO and the EU…

David Hathaway, Geneva I only live to preach the Gospel. There are very few people left alive who have preached the Gospel as long as I have – more than 72 years! But God is saying to me, “If you think you have seen great things in the past, you should see what is to come!!!”

The greatest evangelist after Jesus, the Apostle Paul, says, “I’m not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ!” When it comes to evangelism, sometimes we are ‘ashamed’ of the Gospel and so the Church doesn’t preach it! This sense of shame is sometimes extreme – people criticise me and say I should not ‘proselytise’... More than one Christian charity I approached for support in the UK could not, would not, because their constitution forbids them to give to ‘proselytism’, to change people... But the whole message of the Gospel is CHANGE! You can’t stay the same! In the West it can be very difficult to tell in church who are the real born-again believers! But in my ministry in East Europe and Russia, when people are converted, there is a complete CHANGE. The drug addicts, the alcoholics, the unemployed, the homeless – they become the key workers in the church!!! – When Christ comes into their lives, it is so dramatic, you can SEE the change! We can never preach with authority and power until we understand the whole root and purpose of evangelism is CHANGE! CHANGE your life, CHANGE your character, everything! I’ve had to experience that – COMPLETE CHANGE! Paul says, he’s not ashamed of the Gospel. In other words, he’s PROUD of the Gospel. I’m proud of the Gospel I preach! WOW! It’s exciting! But until YOU realise how DIFFERENT YOU are, how can you change them ‘out there’? People in the world, when they see you, should see a DIFFERENCE! That’s why Paul said, “Don’t be conformed to this world!” But the Church today is battling to conform to the world!!! The Church of England for example is divided, torn, between those who believe in the Bible principles, and those who believe that you have to conform to modern ‘values’,

10

especially over homosexuality and same-sex marriage. But if you don’t believe what the Bible says, how can you know what God wants?!!

Paul says, in effect, “The Gospel is something I’m not ashamed of, therefore I will share it – I’m proud of it!

Proud of Jesus! I want to follow Him!” And then Paul explains, he’s not ashamed, because IN the Gospel is the WHOLE POWER OF GOD! I believe it! Some people call me a ‘groundbreaker’, a pioneer – because I EXPECT to do things other people don’t, won’t do! The way to get me to act is to say, “It’s impossible! It can’t be done!” In the part of England where I live, if you ask people to do something, they immediately say, “I can’t do it, I haven’t done it before!”

And that seems to be the logic in the Church! I love skiing – but I didn’t start skiing until I had reached the age when everybody else stops!!! Do it! I want to ask you, “Do YOU want to see the power of God?” How can we see it? – It’s IN THE GOSPEL! I see tens, hundreds of thousands of miracles of healing – sometimes 3000 in one single evangelistic meeting.

Why? Because they are unbelievers! If I had ten thousand believers, it would be different... Why? Because ALL the power of God is concentrated in this Gospel we preach. That’s what the Church has lost! I could keep you all day talking about miracles, not just healing, but every kind of miracle. I expect miracles, because it’s GOD who is in the Gospel, NOT David Hathaway – the power is NOT in us!!!

People ask for my anointing. No! Ask God yourself! The power of God is released like an explosion – THROUGH THE GOSPEL! And what is the Gospel?

Many Christians don’t even know what the Gospel is! It’s GOOD NEWS! – Look, Jesus CHANGED my life! Look what my Jesus has done for me!

Broken the curse, set me free! – Introduce people to THIS Jesus! Tell people what God can do, tell them what He has done for you! If He hasn’t done anything in your life, get on your knees, ask God to CHANGE you – and

then you’ve got a testimony!!! When I was 13, after church, we would go out on the street, no preaching we were told, “Only tell people what God has done in your life!”

Yes, people ask for my anointing. But it’s more than that. I preach with AUTHORITY – and when I do, God works the miracles. When the Roman centurion came to Jesus because his servant was sick, he said, “I’m not good enough, don’t come to my house, I’m a soldier – just COMMAND that my servant will be healed and it will happen. SPEAK the word – it will happen!” Jesus said, “I haven’t found faith like this in all Israel!” So often the unbeliever has more faith than the Christian! Somehow Christians ‘educate’ the faith out! I read an article in Israel Today magazine, where they report that the Americans are encouraging the Messianic congregations to get theological degrees. They did that in Russia and East Europe too, everywhere where there was revival. But what happens? They stop evangelising! They argue over theological differences. They get ‘doctrines’ – and they lose the power!!! I am a doctor of theology, but how did I get it? Not in a university, it’s an honorary degree, given to me for a lifetime of preaching the Gospel! Not a degree awarded for study, it’s not theory – IT’S IN PRACTICE! I DO THE JOB! You HAVE to take AUTHORITY! It takes faith, it takes courage. Are you the tail? Or the head? Stand up! Defeat the devil! Who will win your family, your town, your country, if you don’t?

Christians don’t exercise faith because they don’t have the courage to do it! I have faith, but I have to have the courage to step up and do something!!! And God responds – when you start preaching the Gospel! The whole of Heaven will respond! My Bible says, the whole of Heaven rejoices – not over our worship, not over our sitting in church – over ONE soul that repents! How many times are YOU going to make Heaven rejoice?!!

No, it’s not easy to preach the Gospel,

Prophetic P rophetic

there is a price we have to pay. The purpose of preaching is to call people to repent; it’s not to argue, not even to fill up the church. But only the Holy Spirit can convict of sin, only He can change people. So how much Holy Spirit do you want? 100%? People come for the Holy Spirit, but they are so full of themselves, of their own ideas…. Aged 13, God told me to EMPTY everything out. All my ideas and hopes. EMPTY. So that when I received the Holy Spirit, I’d have 99% Holy Spirit and only 1% of self. I was searching, crying out, “I need this Holy Spirit! I’ve emptied everything. I need fire, I need power, I need God, I need Jesus, I need the Holy Spirit! God fill me, fill me, fill me!” And I was baptised in the Holy Ghost and Fire! It took 3 months of fasting and praying. Aged 13! And when that Fire came, it was such a powerful experience!

And the Fire is still burning. Too many people get a little bit of fire and the fire goes out... Give them five years, five days – and the fire’s gone. For me, it’s 72 years and every day the fire is stronger, more of the fire of God, more of the Holy Spirit than ever before! In Acts 1:8, Jesus says, “You shall receive POWER after the Holy Spirit is come upon you – and you will EVANGELISE!” Yes, that’s what it says! – You will be WITNESSES. The witness is the evangelist! That’s all I do in evangelism, I just tell people what God has done, what He is doing!

Why the urgency to evangelise now?

Christians today are in the biggest battle of the whole of civilisation! The devil knows his time is limited, that Jesus is coming back. And the devil will try to destroy every Christian.

Khrushchev, who seized dictatorship over the Soviet Union after the death of Stalin, boasted that he would destroy every church, every Christian, and that he would parade the last Christian on television! Khrushchev is dead! Christianity is alive! There is more Holy Ghost revival in Russia and the Russian-speaking countries than anywhere in the West. Why? Because when the devil attacks, God begins to FIGHT! But He needs YOU! Jesus is not coming back to win the lost. When He comes, He’s coming as King – and as Judge. Only YOU can win the lost.

Only YOU can bring the people into the Kingdom of God. Jesus paid the price, it’s a done deal. GET ON WITH THE JOB! But do you understand hell? Aged 13, I used to preach hell fire. It’s the truth.

If you don’t repent, you go to hell. Two boys in my class at school shook hands, “We don’t want your Jesus. We will go together to hell!” The founder of the Salvation Army said, “I pray that my officers would spend ten minutes in hell, then they would spend the rest of their lives preaching the Gospel of Salvation.” I preach with passion because I spent one year in a communist prison. If hell is half as bad as that communist prison, I will spend my life saving people from that hell.

Oh that God would show YOU the

awfulness of hell – AND that He would show you the Glory of Heaven! We’re going to live forever! But if you do not repent, you go to live for eternity with the devil.

Time is so short. I hear Christians say, “Jesus isn’t coming back for hundreds of years.” But I believe He’s coming sooner than you think! The world is changing so fast, God HAS to send Jesus back! I would show you from Revelation 9:13-16, those four demons once bound at the river Euphrates are now, since 2003 when the British and American troops crossed the Euphrates, loosed and working together with the devil on the earth – to kill one third of the population of the world (v15). And they will lead an army of 200 million (v16) against Jerusalem, I believe, in my lifetime…

We must work so hard, so fast. We need tremendous faith – and courage!

For 72 years I have always asked for the gift of faith. Praying on the mountains in January this year, this is what I asked God, “Show me Your great and mighty power, so I can know who You are, what You can do, that nothing is impossible!” I’ve started on a rollercoaster of faith – I want to go faster and faster, see more and more. More this year than last year. Bigger miracles, more power! My God is so great – the whole earth and Heaven cannot contain Him – that’s how big He is!

STAND UP! LET’S DEFEAT THE DEVIL!

500 years ago on 31 October 1517, Martin Luther nailed his famous 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg where he was priest, naming 95 heresies Many today deeply regret this. They say ‘Reformation 500’ is an opportunity to finally repent of the divisions in the Church, time to repent of the barbaric killings and the burnings at the stake that occurred in those days, time to forget persecutions, inquisitions, time to re-unite.

But first... ...Why and what was the Reformation really about? Avoidable dissension?

Avoidable division? No! It was an unavoidable confrontation between the Truth of the Word of God, what the Bible really says – and the terrible lies the Church had been teaching and selling the people under its care, even from the very first century after Christ.

John the Apostle begins His Gospel, ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.’ – John 1:1&14. Jesus!

He is the Word of God, salvation is found in no other name. Those who recognised Jesus as the Son of God in the very beginning, recognised Him by what He did – and they saw that what He did was the fulfilment of God’s written Word, the Scriptures. Those who did not recognise Him, could not, because, as Jesus said, “If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me because he wrote about Me.” – John 5:46. Also Luke 24:25-27&44.

There is no authority higher than the Word of God. Psalm 138:2 says He has exalted His Word above all things! The Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures (which foretell Christ and which He came to fulfil) have been faithfully handwritten by

of the Roman Church against the Word of God. From this point on the Church in Europe divided into Catholic – and Protestant movements...

specially trained Jewish scribes, through countless generations, countless exiles, countless purges and pogroms – from the exile in Babylon before Christ to the worldwide diaspora of today. Every single scroll of Scripture extant today, wherever in the world it may be found, is identical to the very last letter!!! Only the Yemeni scrolls differ by nine letters, but this without changing the meaning of the text in any way. No other culture, no other race, no other religion, no other people have such a record of accuracy!!! Today, when they search their Scriptures and their prophets, they know Messiah is coming soon as King! They are expecting Him! Because of their Scriptures!

same careless copying of his good new translation again corrupted the manuscripts.

Our New Testament – the Gospels, Epistles and the Book of Revelation – were written, not in Hebrew, but in Greek, the international language of the Eastern part of the Roman Empire into which Jesus was born, died and rose again. As the number of non-Jewish converts from the Western part of the Empire who spoke Latin, increased, translations were made from the Greek to help them.

But in the Roman Empire there was no such rigorous training of scribes as we see in the Jewish tradition. The Latin texts very quickly corrupted – almost beyond recognition...

Yes, even in those Dark Ages, several translations were made into the common languages of different European tribes and nations so ordinary people could understand. But before printing, it took much time to hand-make copies – which, when discovered by Church officials, were swiftly destroyed! John Wycliffe, a reformer and critic of the ungodly practices of the Roman Church, made the first English language translation of the Bible in 1383. As many manuscripts as could be made were distributed, though the Church threatened anyone possessing a non-Latin Bible with execution! John Hus, an active reformer and follower of Wycliffe, was himself burned at the stake. They used some of Wycliffe’s own manuscript Bibles as kindling for the fire!

...Until in AD 382, Greek and Hebrew scholar Jerome produced a faithful Latin translation from the original texts because, he said, there are “as many different Latin translations as there are manuscripts” and, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ!” But the

Worse was to come. With the collapse of the Roman Empire in 376 and 476 AD, Latin fell into disuse as an international language. Most priests couldn’t read Latin anymore, the Latin Mass and Scriptures became like so much hocuspocus to clergy and people alike. In any case, clergy in training were first taught classical Roman and Greek philosophy and Church tradition and doctrine. They were introduced to the Bible last of all – to a Bible which was not just corrupted, but in a language most no longer understood...

The printing press was invented in around 1448 – and the first book ever printed was the Bible – albeit a corrupted Latin version. But printing was the start of a first, very simple, reformation – no more errors multiplying from handwritten copy to handwritten copy! Now hundreds, even thousands of identical copies could be produced from one approved printer’s text!

In the 1490s, Oxford Professor Thomas Linacre learnt Greek in order to compare the original New Testament text with the current corrupted Latin Bible. He was so shocked, he wrote in his diary, “Either this (the original Greek) is not the Gospel...or we are not Christians!” – The Latin text of the 15th century did not even preserve the simple Gospel message! Also in the 1490s, another Oxford Professor, John Colet, began the public reading of the New Testament in Greek, translating it

into English, in St. Paul’s Cathedral in London! People were so hungry to hear the Word of God in a language they could understand, that within six months the Cathedral was filled with 20,000 standing packed inside and 20,000 outside! Revival! Colet only avoided execution for this crime because he had powerful friends in high places!

In 1517, the year in which Luther nailed his 95 accusations against the false practices of the Roman Church, 7 people were burned at the stake in England, simply for the sin of teaching their children to pray the Lord’s Prayer in English!

But returning again to the very early centuries... As soon as Roman converts began to outnumber the original Jewish converts, many pagan practices and beliefs contrary to the Word of God were brought into the young Church – and many remain there to this day! Ranking amongst the most wicked was the raising of money for the benefit of the Church by selling ‘Indulgences’ for the forgiveness of sin! You could purchase forgiveness for yourself; you could even shorten the time your dead relatives spent in ‘Purgatory’ – a fictitious place between heaven and hell for the punishment and purging of sin – entirely contrary to the teaching of Scripture, which is the free forgiveness of sin by simple faith in the shed blood of Christ on the Cross. But how would you know if you couldn’t understand Latin and you had no access to any accurate Bible? The sale of Indulgences was reaching its very peak in 1517 (the year we are celebrating as ‘Reformation 500’), because Rome had just begun to build the extravagant new Basilica of St Peter, a tourist attraction to this day.

Begun in 1506, it was completed in 1626, taking 120 years! If anything similar were to be built now, someone has reckoned it would cost in the region of 300 million US dollars! The Church was already in a financial crisis and the money had to be raised somehow! Luther protested.

There has always been a price to pay for the reformation of the Church. A price paid in full by many martyrs of the True Faith. The Protestant Reformation can never regret having paid that price to bring the Truth of the whole Word of God to ordinary people.

So what has that Reformation to do with us now? That was long ago. Let’s put it behind us! Let’s all be one, one with the whole Church, one with the whole world.

There is no problem now! Or is there?!!

Today in the Church there are powerful lobbies which require reformation. There are those who profess to believe in the Truth of the Word of God, but in fact follow men who teach selected aspects of the Word of God which are out of balance with the whole counsel of God’s Word... Even things which are not in the Bible! Lester Sumrall, who ministered all over Eastern Europe with David under communism in the 1980s, used to say, “For every false teaching in Western Europe, there are ten in America!”

Christians are always asking, “Have you read this new Christian book on this or that?” No! But have YOU checked it out against the Bible?!

Then there are those who don’t believe in the Truth of God’s Word at all, yet call themselves Christian... German theologians of the last century spearheaded the belief that the Word of God as recorded in the Scriptures is not in fact true, but a myth, just a way of saying things... Mix this with secular liberalism, relativism, tolerance and universalism, stir it all into the Church, call it post-modernism, and present the teachings of the Word of God in a manner that is socially relevant and acceptable to normal humanist thinking... WE DESPERATELY NEED A REFORMATION!

Ishmael, not Isaac, is the child promised

by God to Abraham. – But Jesus is through Isaac!!! In the Koran, Mary the mother of Jesus, is the sister of Moses!!!

And Jesus is not the Son of God, but a lesser prophet than Mohammed!!! The Koran says ‘God has no need of a son’ – and that Jesus did not die on the cross since God saw that He was too good to die, and had another die in His place!!! IF THE CHURCH CAN AGREE WITH THE KORAN, WE NEED ANOTHER REFORMATION! At the very height of the Charismatic Revival/Renewal, David Pawson was preaching. He began, “Has anyone read a good book recently?” Almost everyone! “Did you read it right through?”

Almost everyone. “Anyone read the Bible recently?” Almost everyone. “Have you EVER read it THROUGH?” Not one!

Pope Francis, in his own video address to the Catholic faithful in January 2016, looked forward to the unity of all world religions, saying there are many ways to God, but only one message, ‘love’. If anyone believes this, WE MOST DESPERATELY NEED ANOTHER REFORMATION – A RETURN TO THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD!

Unity amongst Christians – we all want that. Especially in this year when we remember the Reformation that divided the Church 500 years ago. But unity on what basis? The unity Jesus prayed for at the Last Supper can only be based on the Truth of the Word of God, no other way. He Himself is the Word of God, the Way, the Truth and the Life – John 1:1&14.

He said, “If a man love Me, He will keep My Words, and My Father will love him and We will come unto him and make Our abode with him.” Unity only comes this way. Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth to remind us of everything He, Jesus, the Word of God, has said. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, will only give life to the Word of Truth in us! John 14:17&20.

And does the Word of God agree with the following? – Many say Christians, Jews and Moslems are all children of Abraham, all people of the Book. But the Koran is a fantastical remix of the Old and New Testaments! In the Koran,

WE HAVE TO HAVE ANOTHER REFORMATION – A COMING BACK TO THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD – AS SHOWN IN THE BIBLE – BECAUSE THE REFORMATION OF 1517 HAS NOT CLEANSED THE CHURCH.

David Hathaway We need a strong relationship with the Lord. My God is alive in power and authority: and I spend a lot of time in prayer. I have three special Bibles, each one serves a different purpose in my life. I have one in my office, it’s my ‘satnav’, my TomTom – for direction! It’s more accurate than any satellite navigation system! Then I have what I call my ‘prayer Bible’ which I usually keep by the side of my bed. Prayer must be a two-way conversation. We men have a problem: we sit down at the breakfast table and the wife starts talking – and we don’t get a word in edgeways!!! But prayer must be a two-way conversation – with God! How does God speak to us? Sometimes we hear voices, we see dreams and visions – but primarily God speaks through His Written Word! That’s how God spoke to me when I had throat cancer all those years ago. I got the answer in the Bible, and God healed me! Let me encourage you; be straight with God, tell Him the truth, don’t be afraid to tell Him, He knows everything anyway! Talk to God and expect the answer! And my third Bible, that’s my preaching Bible, it’s the Sword of the Spirit, my fighting weapon! We have to fight – together with God! My preaching Bible is the sword with which I slay the devil and bring the souls out of hell into the glory of Heaven!

But Jesus, the Word of God, did no miracles, did not begin His ministry, UNTIL He had been baptised in the Holy Spirit.

We MUST receive that same power, we must EXERCISE that same power! I’m 85 years old, I could just sit in a chair or lie in my bed – but within a short time I would lose the strength in my arms, in my legs... But I have more strength, more energy than you! Why? Because I use what I have, I use my arms, I use my legs, I exercise... And I use the power, the fire God has given me to preach the Gospel! God has given you the same power. Use it! When I received the Holy Spirit aged 13, it was a powerful experience. But the next day I was in a prayer meeting in my church: Yesterday, Monday, I was baptised in the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus promised, filled with the Holy Spirit! Today, Tuesday, I feel dead! No power.

Nothing. Just me! I began to have an argument with myself, “Yesterday, God filled me with the Holy Spirit and with

14

power. Today I feel empty. But I will not depend on my feelings, I will depend on the Word of God! Jesus said in the Acts of the Apostles, ‘You – that’s me – will receive power after the Holy Spirit comes.’ So by faith I will exercise that power!” The reason why Jesus promised this Baptism of Fire was to enable the disciples to continue the same ministry of miracles and healing that He had.

This is the only way we can do it – that’s why we need this baptism – and the evidence of this baptism can only be seen when we expect and see the miraculous!

People ask me to lay my hands on them, so that they can receive power from God. But there is something even more powerful than power from God!!!

The Bible tells us, there was a man who WRESTLED with God, Jacob. – Genesis 32:24. Do you wrestle with God? I do.

When Jacob wrestled with God, God said to him, “I will change your name to Israel because, as a prince you have power WITH God…!” When I pray, I don’t just say, “O God, give me power.” I say, “O God, I want to be like Jacob. I want to have power WITH YOU, power to call down Heavenly, Miraculous, Spiritual Power!” How do you think I could command the storm in Caesarea last September to cease?

There were plenty of witnesses.

I wrestle with God for something more, something beyond... I’m determined, I will not die UNTIL I SEE THE POWER OF GOD ON EARTH! I’m determined to see God show His power! O God, throughout the Bible You have never been defeated! O God, I’m in a battle with the devil – YOU, O God, have never been defeated. I want to see Your glory, here in earth! Believer, you need the fire, the power, the glory of God! Let’s get the fire, let’s get the power, let’s defeat the enemy! I’m ready for a FIGHT! But where is God’s power? My God is the God of the Bible – HE DOES NOT CHANGE! It’s we who need to change!

There’s so much more to the Reformation 500 years ago than we realise. What Martin Luther did when he nailed his 95 theses to the church door was only part. What really caused the Reformation was when the Bible began to be translated into the languages of the people from the original texts – accurately – so that for the first time since the first century after Christ, people could read the Bible! For hundreds of years the ‘Church’ had distorted the

truth of God’s Word until it was unrecognisable! The Church needs to have another Reformation – today! Just as the only evidence of God is in the miraculous, the only authority the Church has is the Bible! If we don’t get back to the truth and the authority of the Word of God, the Bible, then the Church will become an irrelevant social system and your nation and mine will be lost to false religious idolatry. Why does Islam fill every mosque while our national churches are dying?!!

Paul wrote, “I’m not ashamed of the Gospel, because ALL THE POWER OF GOD IS IN THE GOSPEL!” Where do I see the biggest miracles? – ONLY when I’m preaching the Gospel, ONLY when I’m declaring the truth and the glory of God. The Word of God is WITH POWER! WITH AUTHORITY! We need to bring that authority back into the Church. Read the Word of God – believe it!

Appropriate it into your lives! Use it!

Holy Spirit Power is not tradition, not doctrines of men, it’s not what the world teaches; it’s what God says! In His Word! We need another Reformation – we MUST get back to the Word of God! The Church has gone so far from the Word of God, today it cannot be recognised as the Church of the Bible.

You know the Bible. You read the Bible.

Take God at His Word! Get power WITH GOD! Put His Word into effect in your life!

Ignorance of the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament from the earliest centuries after Christ very quickly led to a belief that God had finished with the Jews forever and that the Gentile Church was the new Israel. Replacement Theology.

worst anti-Semites in history. His virulent writings became the blueprint for Hitler’s ‘Final Solution’ – the holocaust of six million European Jews during World War II.

But Scripture is clear. The reformers who searched the original Hebrew and Greek texts saw – God HAS an eternal plan for the Jews and Israel! Before Christ comes as King, there is a final ingathering of the Jews to the land God promised them as their inheritance forever. They return as sinners, and will be fiercely opposed until finally all nations gather together against Jerusalem; Israel will cry out to God for salvation – Messiah Himself will come – and rule the whole world from Jerusalem for 1000 years!

Despite Luther’s rejection of God’s Word regarding the Jews and Israel, in the course of the following centuries it was Bible-believing Christians, especially in Britain and America, who played a very significant role in the events that led to the reestablishment of Israel in 1948.

But as happened with Luther, many evangelical Christians today, who can read the Scripture for themselves, nevertheless believe Israel, as a nation, has no place in God’s final plan!

Replacement Theology is alive as never before.

Luther saw and believed this, but became so disappointed Our opinion of the Jews and Israel is not a matter of personal when the Jews did not respond to his Gospel message of salvation, that at the end of his great life, he became one of the preference. It is decided in Scripture.
