The Bible had stated very clearly on the New Jerusalem as the Revelation and Ezekiel was prophesies, had been fulfilled mostly.
Why looking for the Tribes of Israel?
Book of Revelation 21 v 12 - 14 : It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. (Refer to the Book of Ezekiel 48 v 31 - 34)
Where stated on finding the 12 Tribes of Israel in the Bible?
Book of Zephaniah 4 v 20 : At that time I will gather you, at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes”
Isaiah 49 v 5 - 6 : And now the LORD says - he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD and my God has been my strength - he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth.”
What about the New Jerusalem?
It is a New Heaven to replace the old Heaven.
Book of Revelation 3 v 12 : Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.
Book of Revelation 21 v 2 : I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God
Is Old Testament is a past history, now talking about the New Testament?
It is not about the culture and belief of Old Testament and New Testament....but it is about prophesies in the Bible.
Book of Matthew 5 : 18 - 19 : I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Are we back to Noah time? YES
Luke 17 v 22 – 27 : Then Jesus said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. Men will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them. For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all. “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulphur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
The reason that I am going to Thailand is to learn the Jews and Judas’s culture and belief for 6 months (+/-) before I go and meet the Tribes of Israel. It will be never been easy task to look for them but the Lord know where they are living and the Lord will led me to them. It is based on the calling that the Lord’s called me and I need to puzzle out till mistakes I made. It is based on Book of Luke 1 v 64, 72, 76, 77 and 79. After the equipping knowledge, I will be going to Myanmar, Nepal, so on and my last destination will be Jerusalem, base on God’s direction. Travelling by road either bus or donkey (just kidding) and take many years to accomplish the task.
Some of you know that I have to leave for mission on September/October 2007 as I did inform you during early this year. I will be leaving from Kuala Lumpur on September 17th, 2007 and will meet my mother in Penang first before depart to Thailand. If you want to reach me during this time till September 20th, 2007, you can call me at + 6016 – 283 2038 or + 6019 - 380 9502.
I need you to uphold me in prayer especially in financial, accommodation (still finding), a job (temporary job either in church or commercial to survive) and the mission objectives.
Thank you and God Bless!
Regards,
Pastor Steve Peter H S Kok
