Isra-’el. Israel, the land of God, the Land of Prophecy. We always pray for Israel and Her people. We must also look at the facts concerning Her and Jesus rejection. Starting with the Book of 2nd Kings, I want to look at the many mistakes that Israel has made. “Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.” 1. Jehu, Did right in the eyes of the Lord. 2. David, Did right in the eyes of the Lord. 3. Asa, Did right in the eyes of the Lord. 4.Solomon’, Did right in the eyes of the Lord. 5.Jehoshaphat, Did right in the eyes of the Lord. 6.Ahab, Did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 7. Ahaziah, Did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 8. Jeroboam, Did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 9. Jehoahaz, Did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 10.Jehoiakim, Did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 11. Omri, Did evil in the eyes of the Lord. As you can see, The Kings of Israel didnt do very well at pleaseing the Lord. God allowed Israel to become captive to others and wars never went very well when they disobeyed God. The people of Israel, are beautiful people, but their choices have been a little off when it came to chooseing right from wrong. This is a mistake when it came to rejecting Jesus as Christ. Israel was suffered by God to have a King over them(14When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;) and their rejection of Jesus was the same mistake they had allready made before. In this document I would like to prove the existance of The Trinity or God Head, which will and does include, El (Jehova), El (Jesus) and El (Holy Ghost,ie; Holy Spirit)Lets take a moment and look at the word “Israel” as it was meant to be viewed.[Middle English, from Old English, from Latin, from Greek Isra-el from Hebrew ,God has striven, God has saved : he has striven, saved; see ry in Semitic roots + God; According to one Jewish tradition, the Tetragrammaton is related to the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Hebrew verb ha·wah (become); meaning "He will cause to become" usually understood as "He causes to become". Compare the many Hebrew and Arabic personal names which are 3rd person singular imperfective verb forms starting with "y", e.g. Hebrew "Yôsêph" = Arabic "Yazîd" = "He [who] adds"; Arabic "Yahyâ" = "He [who] lives". The Trinity of “EL”. Begining in the Book of Genesis we see ”EL” as the word God, in the english language. Lets read, Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. As we see here, EL had His Spirit move upon the waters. Here is the First sign that God, Jehova, EL, had the ability to seperate Himself into other Dietys. Lets continue; Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. The Angels were created beings, created to serve Jehova according to His will. Sence Angels were created, they had no creative power within themselves. So in Genises 1:26, we see EL speaking to others with creative ability as Himself. There are many today that try to limit the Power of God, just as the Israelites did in the begining of Judisam. The problem, as I see it, is a misunderstanding of words that were spoken by a Pharise over 2000 years ago. He stated, ”God did not need a Son.” If this statment were not a dirigitory statment it would have been true. God didnt need a Son but He wanted one, theres the difference. Psa 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Psa 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Psa 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Psa 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
