LUKE 16V16:- "The Law and the Prophets remained until John. Since then, the Good News about the Royal Kingdom of God for the solitary Royal Priests has been proclaimed, and everyone entering it is under attack”.
Hebrew name of Jesus was YeShua or YeShiva; the First Born of Yahweh, the Second Adam. Virgin Mary was the “Surrogate” Mother of Jesus and Joseph, the “Foster Father”.
Now, Jews sowed the “Seed of Terrorism” by killing Jesus and today they are being brought back to Harvest the Fruit – Matt.13v24-30.
So, do not expect Peace but wars.
CIRCUMCISION
Circumcision is the “Tribal Mark” of Abraham to Isaac and his “seed”. Anyone who is not the tribal seed of Isaac but is circumcised, he is a “Devil” – John 8v44. Yahweh = Brahma = Khudah is a Great Artist creating all creatures Perfect. Thus, Jesus was the son of Yahweh whilst the Christ, “His Word”, the Son of Elohim = ParBrahm = Allah. John, the Baptist baptised Jewish Men in the name of “Abraham” and Jesus in the name of “Yahweh”. No Gentile or a woman was baptised.
Second coming of Jesus was Christ = Satguru Nanak Dev Ji in 1469 and today, we are approaching “End of the Age” expected soon after May, 2018. Our Father knows Better. To err is human. Watch my over 4370 Youtube Videos; channel nijjhar1.
