Where Is The Capital Of Israel?

The New Jerusalem is not of this world...but from Above.
Look closely and realize with spiritual eyes.
The religious are all a bustle about a certain place on earth.

A place that, like many others on earth, has received the blood of many people over the centuries.

This blood testifies to many a man's ignorance and refusal to believe and obey God at His Word.

Is there such a thing as a holy war Today, in the light of Christ, where physical death is desired by a Holy God?

Does the Holy God of heaven, the Spiritual Father of Yeshua Christ, desire men to fight over things here on earth?

Has God suspended His command of not killing another human being?

Has God revoked His command of not coveting a neighbor's possessions?

Talk of recognizing a particular city as a 'capital' of some political entity somehow enrages people.

This is what happens when men fight over things they do not understand, things earthly and void of wisdom.

This is what transpires when people are focused on things material, while the spiritual is ignored or wholly unknown.

Is the believer (those who submit to God in all things) to fight over the things of this world?

If you think the answer is yes, you may be a victim of heresy, following the varied opinions of men rather than the sacred Word of God.

Please share openly where you find the inspiration, or direction, to take the life of another man...and I'll point out to you confused ideas not coming from the revealed Heart of God.

How can I write this?

Because the world has long changed since God with us (Immanuel) was revealed on the earth.

Have you yet to realize that God's message to mankind is about love and peace between all mankind?

Have you believed lies in place of Truth that compel, or beguile, or fool, you into thinking that it is good - or allowed by God - to kill another person for any reason?

Those who are fooled are those who do not know God, no matter what they claim.

Some kill and claim to be children of God.

Others kill and have many arguments about ancient places and ancient ideas.

Many claim some sort of heritage, yet their actions reveal their 'god'.

Their actions reveal who and what resides in them.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. 
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is Perfect. 
- Matthew 5: 38-48
Notice the call is to be perfect... as your heavenly Father is Perfect.

Being perfect is obedience to God's law and fully submitted to God in loving others, even an 'enemy'.

If your heart does not consider this as true, if this message does not speak to your heart, then the God who has eternally resided in heavenly lights is not your 'God' nor 'Father'... at least not yet.

Your 'god' is not the Holy One proclaimed through His Word.

Instead, you likely are following a foreign and obscure 'god', but not the God of Love, the Holy One promised to the Hebrew Patriarchs and Hebrew Prophets... the Holy One revealed in totality through and in Yeshua His Messiah.

To the issue of men fighting over a piece of land and getting emotional over things of this world:

Did God plan on restoring physical Israel to a certain patch of land?

If so, surely those who believed in Messiah would have inherited that land...and the entire world.

Has this not already happened?

Has not this reality been realized in the meek and the lowly who have lived humbly there for centuries since Christ?

Are we still instigated by following the manners and ideas of earthly kings and dishonorable princes, and not spiritual kings and noble princes of God?

Since the Israel spoken of in the New Testament is those who believe(d) in Messiah having come in the Name of God: Yeshua the Christ, then what are people doing fighting over land in a place call Palestine?

Are they not the very people who deny Yeshua as the Lord their God?

I think the believer desires in their heart to agree with and obey the Word of God.

I think the issue seems to usually be a gross understanding of the message from Above.

Regarding this issue of a political entity or peoples who explicitly deny Yeshua as Messiah and the Son of God, let us ask:

Does the final message through the Son ask men to still fight over dirt?

Does the Gospel ask for men to establish a physical presence politically in any certain place, even where ancient Israel previously resided?

Does the Gospel teach men to fight at all?

Did God promise to recall Israel to their land even after they rejected the Messiah?

And if they are called to Zion, is such a place found on a physical place?

If not, then why is those who call themselves 'Israel' in Palestine desiring to build a physical temple made by their own hands (the hands of men)?

Who is Israel Today according to the light of Christ?

Is Israel those who reject Yeshua as their Lord and Messiah?

Is Israel those who proclaim Yeshua as their Lord and Messiah?

In speaking to the spiritual nature of the Gospel's message, a particular teaching from Christ was about 'eating flesh and drinking blood', and this caused much consternation among the audience and still some ignorant readers Today.

The teaching was not literal, but spiritual...and much more.
On hearing it, many of His disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?” 
Aware that His disciples were grumbling about this, Yeshua said to them, “Does this offend you? Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where He was before! The Spirit gives Life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and Life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Yeshua had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray Him. He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has enabled them.” 
From this time many of His disciples turned back and no longer followed Him. 
“You do not want to leave too, do you?” Yeshua asked the Twelve. 
Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.” 
- John 6: 60-69
Since Yeshua is the Temple that was restored in three days (and not the physical temple that was razed by the Romans in 70 A.D.), and since the body of Christ, the Temple Today, is the people who believe Yeshua is the Lord their God - the Temple by which God lives in - why are believers in the risen Christ getting upset about people fighting over the physical things of this world?

Why are believers in Yeshua as Lord praising the efforts that will most likely cause people to lift their arms in war instead of prayer?

Men are looking for physical signs, when the Spirit has been speaking to their hearts the entire time.


The 'signs' are not easily physically realized, but quite subtle...yet they have been clarified in very certain and explicit terms.

Where is the teaching of Christ asking His followers to establish political capitals or recognize certain physical places on earth as places of significance?


Let us consider what is being declared (and clarified here) regarding the prophecies about all flesh coming to Jerusalem and worshipping God.

What, then, about physical places of 'worship' or recognized as sacred?
Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.” 
“Woman,” Yeshua replied, “believe Me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for Salvation is from the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in Truth.” 
The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.” 
Then Yeshua declared, “I, the One speaking to you—I Am He.” 
- John 4: 20-26
Since Christ taught that the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in Truth” and that a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem,” why are people desiring to worship in Jerusalem?

Do you not notice that those who claim to know God have become pagans themselves?

They worship the things (and worship inside of things) built by man's hands?

Those who claim to have a legacy have actually broken faith with God Almighty; they have rejected the Holy One who came from Above.

Those whose mob masses have overridden the lands their influence has trotted desire to bring forth some type of 'god' that allows for bloodshed to fill the earth.

They follow a 'god' that allows them to kill and lie about their beliefs in order to forward their ideas.

These types of pagans have long been warned about:
They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or Me. 
- John 16: 2-3
Does not this warning speak of those who claim to 'believe' yet have become pagans according to their ways?

These are those who still desire to 'worship' in physical ways that were long fulfilled in Christ.

Since grace and truth came through Yeshua, He fulfilled the law and the 'eye for an eye' death plunge of revenge.

Come to Life you who've been fooled into setting your hearts on the physical things.

Come to Life; the Lord who reigns from heaven and needs not men to kill others, but people to deny themselves and die to themselves and their temptations.

Come to the New Jerusalem revealed from heaven, not the poor earthly rendition where only unnecessary bloodshed fills vats of ritual worship.
