Are you reading “pure words”?

by atharris, posted in Ministry

If you are reading anything but the King James Bible, then you are not reading the words of God.

Isn’t it ironic that people will claim the King James English is just too hard to read and yet they will insist on learning a dead language like Koine Greek which is much harder to understand… Throughout all of history there have always been men that just don’t like the design of God having the final authority.

In a recent debate, a scholar with a Ph.D. in New Testament Interpretation speaking of the KJB said: “Don’t hand unintelligible words to your children. God’s words are too precious. I want to understand everything and not be misled by the bible translations that I use”.  He further said in a later post: “One of my life’s long-term prayers is that someone of stature within KJV-Only circles will publicly apologize for promoting false doctrine.”.

Let us not forget one of the most important scriptures in the bible where it concerns discernment.

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10

Silver is melted down in a furnace to remove the impurities. It is a purification process that separates the dross from the silver therefore leaving a pure form of silver for use in various ways. Something that is pure is devoid of impurities. God is the ultimate definition of pure, so why can’t His Word also be pure? Why do men insist otherwise?

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Psalms 12:6
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. Acts 5:29

If Psalms 12:6 says the Lord’s words are pure, then what other way are we to interpret this verse other than what is says verbatim. They have been purified not once, but seven times.

KJV NASB20 NIV
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; Isaiah 53:10 But the LORD desired To crush Him, Yet it was the LORD’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
Are these two versions teaching that God actually had a desire, a will to kill His own Son?
KJV LSB ESV NASB20 NIV NLT
And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; Gen. 27:39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall be your habitation, And away from the dew of heaven from above. Same Same Same Same
These are turning a blessing into a curse. Which one is correct, the KJV or the others??
KJV NIV ESV LSB RSV
But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. Mat. 12:6 I tell you that something greater than the temple is here. Same Same Same
Again, which context is correct?
KJV LSB ESV NLT RSV NASB20
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36 He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath Same Same Same Same
KJV NKJV
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus;… Acts 3:13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus,
No, the NKJV is not an exception

The 666th Mention of Jesus is a False Prophet, but only in the KJV. This post is not the right platform to show that, but if you’re interested you can see the video of this and much more concerning the validity of the KJV here:

Prophetic Hermon?

by atharris, posted in Damascus, Israel, Prophecy

Hermon our Mount Hermon is a very important place in the Bible. It is thought by many to be the place where the infamous Watchers of the Genesis 6 account descended to Earth to mate with the daughters of men, bringing about the giants and eventual flood of Noah. Used a total of 13 times in the OT, the number for sin, death, and judgment, Mount Hermon is a strategic advantage point for Israel.

Mount Hermon was part of Israeli territory in the OT after Moses defeated Og, the giant King of Bashan, and two kings of the Amorites. The city of Aroer is also mentioned in these passages. More on that later.

And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amoritesthe land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon; (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;) All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenitesand to the Gadites. And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants. Deuteronomy 3:8-13

It was Mount Hermon and the surrounding area that Joshua continued the conquest after Moses and distributed the land to the 12 tribes. The general vicinity held great battles of conquest.

As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses. So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same; Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal–gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. There was not a citythatmade peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle. For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses. Joshua 11:15-20.
Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east: Joshua 12-1

You can see on this biblical map the locations of the mentioned circled and the tribal areas of the 12 tribes.

For all the wars that took place around Mount Hermon, Hermon means “a sanctuary” in the Hebrew language. Psalms 133 is very interesting. If we match the current year to Psalms prophetically as many do, then this Psalm is roughly 9 years from now. The brethren would be Jew and Gentile alike, Hermon representing the Gentiles and Zion the Jewish people. When will brethren dwell in unity…

Behold, how good and how pleasant it isfor brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. Psalms 133

Today Netanyahu visited Mount Hermon recently captured by the IDF. From this location the enemy can be seen for miles around. Netanyahu is God’s chosen King and perhaps even has prophetic tendencies as many of his statements since the October 7th attack have been just that. The people of Iran, sick of the suppression by the Islamic regime, are even calling Netanyahu their “avenger” and have even named a street in Tehran after him. Israel will continue to get stronger right up to the time of Jacob’s Troubles. The scene on Mount Hermon with Netanyahu and the IDF was eerily prophetic.

Statements from Netanyahu’s visit to Mount Hermon:

“Defense Minister Israel Katz on a joint visit with Prime Minister Netanyahu to the summit of Mount Hermon: “The Hermon summit is the eyes of the State of Israel to identify threats near and far. We look out here to the right at Hezbollah in Lebanon, to the left at Damascus– and across the way we see the State of Israel. The IDF is here to protect the communities of the Golan Heights and the citizens of the State of Israel from any threat, from the most important place where we can do so.”
“Prime Minister Netanyahu at the peak of Mount Hermon: “We will remain in this important place until another arrangement is found that will ensure Israel’s security.”

A very strategic place to mount a radar. “Experts show that if Israel installs a radar on the summit of Mount Hermon, Israel will have coverage all the way to Iraq”.

 

Remember the city of Aroer mention in Deuteronomy? The cities are mentioned again with the destruction of Damascus in Isaiah 17, and it will be once again the “children of Israel” that cause the damage. These cities reside in modern Jordan, revealing the extent of damage from this prophecy. I think from Israel’s strategic position on Mount Hermon, the decision will be made to attack Damascus.

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Isaiah 17:1-2
In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation. Isaiah 17:9

President Trump, I believe is God’s chosen King to help usher in the end. Because he is evil, no, because the relationship, protection, and level of cooperation he will bring with Israel and Netanyahu will only make the world hate Israel more. 

If you are familiar with all the events of Israel this past year, Psalms 124 certainly summed it up. It was miracle upon miracle for Israel.

If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Psalms 124

 

 

 

 

 

Oh Damascus!

by atharris, posted in Damascus, Prophecy

The face of the Middle East is changing very rapidly. Rebel forces backed by Turkey have made a huge swath through the Syrian Assad regime taking it out in less than 2 weeks. Assad has sent his family to Russia and as of this writing Russian media from the Kremlin: “former Syrian President Bashar Assad and his family members are in Russia. They were granted political asylum for humanitarian reasons”.

The last holdout for Assad was Damascus and has fallen into the hands of the rebels. The rebels or Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) is led by Abu Mohammad al-Jolani (previously Al-Qaeda). They are backed by Turkey.

Meanwhile, Israel has taken Mount Hermon in southern Syria. Listen to Netanyahu in this important announcement. 

With no specific timeline, I will make a prediction and of course I can be 100% wrong.  At some point we will see Isaiah 17 play out in Damascus under this new leadership. Israel will strike Damascus as the Rebels are more of a threat than the Assad axis was. Netanyahu had already threatened to destroy Damascus after Hamas attacked Israel in October of 2023. “The enemy wanted war, and it shall receive war. Israel’s actions will resonate for generations to come“.  “IDF will destroy Damascus, target Syrian President Assad if Hezbollah joins war.”

Iran is weaker than ever now that their supply line to Hezbollah has been cut off by the rebels. And will only become weaker especially if Israel attacks their nuclear facilities. However, I feel they may play a role in Isaiah 17. In desperation, Iran may make a deal with the rebels to attack or harm Israel. You may remember the major blast at the port of Beirut caused by ammonium nitrate fertilizer back in August of 2020. One of the largest non-nuclear explosions on record. Supposedly there is still a much larger amount of this fertilizer in Damascus (placed by Hezbollah) which I believe will be the cause of that city’s destruction rather than nuclear.

There is yet too much prophecy in the general area for a nuclear explosion to take place. People would have to avoid that area for a very long time. If it is destroyed by the fertilizer, there is no radioactive fallout to avoid, and life goes on. Again, I could be wrong and nuclear is the destructive force. One thing is certain, the destruction is caused by Israel, but Israel will also suffer from this wide conflict. Not only is Damascus destroyed, but other cities in Jordan are abandoned.

In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation. Isaiah 17:9

And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. Isaiah 17:4

The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Isaih 17:2

Isaiah 17 may also be the trigger for Ezekiel Gog & Magog war. Why? “And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:” Ezekiel 38:4. Turn thee back from what? The destruction of Damascus. Israel is becoming if not already the main superpower in this region and the Damascus ordeal will be too much for the enemy to dismiss and they will attack with a very large coalition to try and put an end to Israel’s victories. Regardless, it would be very difficult for Gog to march his army towards Israel if a nuclear warhead goes off in Damascus.

BTW, as I have mentioned, Gog is not Putin and Russia is not the leader of the Gog & Magog war. Identifying Rosh as Russia and Meshech as Moscow is a false analogy by making connections simply because words sound the same. Gog will be a spiritual entity (fallen angel). How do we know this? Gog will return at the end of the Millennial reign.

And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Revelation 20:8

Just for fun, someone pointed out the similarity between Zelensky and Jolani. They even were the same clothes.

 

A statement from HTS: “We announce the end of this dark era and the beginning of a new chapter for Syria. In this new Syria, everyone coexists in peace, justice prevails, and truth is upheld”

We shall see.
