The summoning by God of His true Israel, called from the four corners of the earth and settled into the Holy Land, will stun the world. Even more surprising when those Israelites living in the land, claiming to be the rightful tenants by virtue of blood and blind ambition, are banished to the outer darkness. Could things possibly get worse for the home peoples? How about when some of the newcomers aren't even Israelites. She was healed by touching the hem of His garment?

In chapter 37, the prophet Ezekiel tells us what will happen with the House of Israel, which has been scattered to the four winds for thousands of years. These people may have been lost even to themselves, but God knows where they are. Though the grope for Him as a blind man gropes for a wall, and though they have defamed His name by embracing tradition rather than truth, God yet remembers them and will call them to Himself at the very time when there expectation will seem, to them, to have turned to dust.

With a great outpouring of the spirit rivaling that of the Upper Room experience, our friends and family members will soon realize that 1) we are gone, 2) the have denied their Lord, and 3) they are facing the Tribulation. What will happen next? I have found the shocking answer in Jeremiah 31.

The “born again” miracle is not what Christians think it is. It’s not a man here and a woman there accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior. In fact, it is not individual at all, and neither does it have anything to do with accepting Jesus as one’s Savior. “Born again” is God suddenly moving upon the nation of Israel, miraculously writing His law on her heart. According to the prophet Isaiah and the Lord Himself, this will happen in a day. In fact, it won’t even take a day. As quickly and surely as the spirit of God moved through the Upper Room at Pentecost, so will the spirit of God move upon Israel to bring her to her proper place as the head and not the tail of all the nations.

The spirit of God came on the disciples in the Upper Room on the Day of Pentecost, fifty days after their Lord's crucifixion. It was a Saturday morning at 11:59 A.M. Or, perhaps in was ten minutes past noon. It doesn't matter. The point is that it came SUDDENLY. There was a look, a sound, the sensation of movement against the skin, realization, knowledge, the utterances of different languages. Thus will the New Covenant begin.

"Stop dividing people into groups," they said to me. I said, "Oh, no. It's too late. I just divided Jews/Israelites into 19 different groups." They said, "You're kidding, right?" I said, "If I think of any more divisions, I will let you know."

We can't just say "Israel" and know who we're talking about. There are three distinct groups of Israelites in the eyes of God, and these are those who will endure the Tribulation: 1) The Remnant. These are described by Paul in Romans 11 as faithful to the promises God gave to Abraham. They are NOT a part of the general apostasy. 2) Nominal Christians with no true spiritual leanings; part of the Lost Ten Tribes 3) Nominal Christians with spiritual leanings; part of the Lost Ten Tribes These groups ought to be distinguished from members of the body of Christ. There could be a fourth category of Israelites here, namely those of the chosen nation who have forsaken their national identity to embrace Paul's gospel. Paul himself would be Exhibit A of this group. I have excluded these as a group because they will NOT go through the Tribulation, but will be snatched away beforehand. The Tribulation affects each of the groups differently. The Remnant can be broken down into 1) the 144 thousand, 2) the "vast throng" of Revelation 7:9, and 3) those who are are faithful yet un-sealed, many of whom will die with honor as martyrs. The Remnant do astonishing things for God, faith-wise, in the heat of The Tribulation. The second group, nominal Christians (part of the Lost Ten Tribes) with no spiritual inclinations—those who go to church and like being called "Christians" only because it's a popularity club and a good way to virtue signal—these will be hardened by the Tribulation and will curse God to His face. They never were true believers, and now they can drop all pretensions. These will readily join the Beast system. The third group, nominal Christians (part of the Lost Ten Tribes) with spiritual inclinations, these will be shaken from their spiritual malaise by the Tribulation, rising to the occasion. They may, indeed, become part of "the vast throng" of Revelation 7:9. They will be spiritually awakened to their Israelite identity and will receive the New Covenant spirit (they will receive understanding) just as the disciples did in the upper room.

This was the last official talk from the Phoenix, Arizona conference of May, 2023. Here, I speak on the subject of prayer, asking the question, "Since God is in control of everything and tells the end from the beginning, why pray?" After answering this question with five simple words, I tell the audience of the many times God has saved me from myself by "not" answering" my prayers. The last subject is how to pray like a genius with the most high-tech prayer technique available to us.

God always forms and sets up the fake first, and the enemies first, and the darkness first, in order to make known His true people and the true light. Goliath was set up for the sake of David. Pharaoh was set up for the sake of Moses. Adam was set up for the sake of Christ. The disruption of the world was set up for the spirit of God to move upon the waters. Modern-day Israel, on the banks of the Jordan river, is set up for the sake of the true Israel, who will displace them during the Tribulation in a world-startling event that no one will see coming—except for you, of course.

As we consider the wonders of creation and the miracle of its coherence via spirit, we are tempted to see Scripture as dry, outdated, and comparatively uninteresting. This is a huge mistake. In this video you will discover that not only is Scripture as vibrant and alive as a spinning atom and reproducing cell, it is the sole reason we understand anything concerning who we are, why we're here, where we're going and, most importantly, Who is responsible for all this and what's His plan for the future?

I've read Paul's description of his trip to the third heaven (2 Corinthians 12:1-4) hundreds of time, but one assumption I've always made concerning it has turned out to be wrong. This, however, gives me a greater insight into the glory of God than I've ever had.

The Mars Hill Syndrome is named after the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered by Paul in Acts chapter 17 who were obsessed with hearing new things. Today we would call it “gossip.” There are some today, even in the body of Christ, who are kind of bored with the truth and thus require the stimulation of “a new revelation” or “a new twist” on an old truth. There are always new insights to be had into truth, yes, but that’s not what I’m talking about here. I’m talking about challenges to well-established teaching—teaching confirmed by a good translation of Scripture. I don’t want to come across as blaming people for this. The desire for new things is only human. And on one level I’m flattered that anyone would seek my opinion on one of these “new twists.” I’m afraid that, in this video, I might be coming across too strongly against someone simply wanting to look at another point of view and asking my opinion. So would the viewer who asked me to look at an article by Aaron Welch please accept my apology for any eruptions of earth herein, ranging higher on the Richter scale than that required for the job. It’s my damn passion for the principle of holding fast to truth. Because that’s what this is about: holding fast to truth. And to the woman who no longer believes that the book of Revelation belongs in Scripture, and who is entertaining the theory that God could have spoken to the high priests through radio frequencies generated via the gems on the priestly breastplate, please take my poking fun at this as my desire to keep you clear of any and all deceptions. It really is because of my love for you that I do this. Otherwise, I wouldn’t care. But when I DO care, then I’m afraid the satirical Zender sometimes takes control of the plane and things get a tad turbulent (“please note that the captain has turned on the seatbelt sign”) and, naturally, a tad offensive. So I hope you see through all that into my heart. I promise that we will land safely and on schedule. For everyone else, may this show stand for the eons as a defense of truth and a true, God-imparted hatred for the modern-day gossip that would—though subtly and with erudite speech— seek to destroy it.

Not one religionist understands the new creation, that the old humanity was crucified with Christ. And not only the old humanity, corporately, but we, as individuals, were crucified with Christ. Martin Zender was crucified with Christ. But wait. I am still living, aren't I? Indeed. But it is no longer I who am living, but living in me is Christ (Galatians 2:20). Now you can see why not one religionist understands the new creation. It's tricky thinking. It's a simple truth, but tricky thinking. It flies in the face of experience. In fact, not all body of Christ members realize this truth. Proof? They imagine themselves to be losers. They think they're nothing. And yet, ironically, they simultaneously believe that they have the power to wreck God's will for their life. Dang, that's a lot of power for a "nothing." A realization of the new humanity is the key to deliverance from an overly careful life, from self-occupation, and from the weight of thinking of oneself as "totally unworthy." But wait. Aren't there Scripture verses that say we're totally unworthy? Yes. But it's the unworthy us that was crucified with Christ. So that's gone. That way of thinking is gone. To speak of being unworthy NOW is to slap the face of Christ on the cross, Who took the old humanity to the cross with Him, then to the tomb, but then left the tomb without the damn thing. He left the old humanity in the tomb, and it's still dead. It hasn't resurrected and it won't. (And yet many, in their minds, imagine it to be resurrected; they imaging it as still having power over them.) I know the problem. The problem is that "you" are still living. I get it. Paul also gets it, and explains it in the briefest manner possible in Galatians 2:20– "With Christ have I been crucified, yet I am living; no longer I, but living in me is Christ. Now that which I am now living in flesh, I am living in faith that is of the Son of God, Who loves me, and gives Himself up for me." The new creation is how God now sees humanity subsequent to the cross. So even though it's still the old humanity eating frosted flakes and blowing its nose, we are not to think of ourselves in accord with the "I" that died on the cross. We are supposed to think, "Living in me is Christ." Is this a matter for faith? That's the understatement of the year, which is why Paul finishes Galatians 2:20 with, "That which I am now living in flesh, I am living in faith that is of the Son of God, Who loves me, and gives Himself up for me." Considering yourself as this new I that Paul says you are (he's inspired by the holy spirit, let me remind you) is the secret to being able to throw around the most popular personal pronoun in the world ("I" ) like parade candy without being conceited. YOU know you're not conceited but—oh!—the rest of the world can't handle it. They're still wrestling with the corpse, you see. They can't imagine the free life that you now live. Their misery wants company. Even some in the body of Christ don't get it. But especially Israel wannabe "kingdom saints" don't get it. How can they? This is not their truth. None of their writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, James, Peter) teach it. Those with a terrestrial destiny still battle the old I, and must. Their old I is reformed ("born again"), not crucified. The truth of the new humanity is not for them. How can it be? The new humanity erases national distinctions whereas Israel, even in the kingdom, recognizes national distinctions. This is rarefied truth. It's a bold way to live. Do you want to make Christ happy? Then acknowledge the pain and agony He suffered on the cross and tell Him "job well done" by considering yourself no longer according to flesh (2 Corinthians 5:16), but according to the new humanity. Because this is what He died for. And it's now what you live for.

Without giving away the surprise of this video, I will say that there is a difference between James and Paul that at first seems minuscule but then, when reflected upon in light of the death of the old humanity, is a big damn deal.

Comments from the Phoenix, AZ conference about the certainty of the snatching away. God is never slack concerning His promises. He promised to bring Israel into the Promised Land: ACCOMPLISHED. He promised to deliver the Israelites out of Egypt: ACCOMPLISHED. He promised that the Messiah would come: ACCOMPLISHED. He promised that the woman's seed would bruise the head of the serpent: ACCOMPLISHED. No one is saying that God is quick in doing these things (He is by HIS standards), but we are not considering quickness here, but certainty. Having said that, the 6,000 years from Adam has nearly elapsed. So buckle in; we're going for a CERTAIN ride.

There came the time for the door of the Ark to close. Noah and his family had to turn their backs on the world. There will come a time when we will have to let the world go.

You may feel as though God is pushing you to your limits. I know. I have felt this too. More than once. But I know from experience—and from Scripture—that although God might push you up against the wall of endurance, there is one thing God will never do to you and never take from you. Here is a passionate teaching on the topic of faith. I delivered this talk in Des Moines, Iowa, on September 16, 2023. I just watched this for the first time. It does me good to see it. In this teaching, you get an intimate look at the faith of Christ, the faith of Abraham, and the faith God has given US to believe the most seemingly improbable things said of us in Scripture. But think of it this way: The deepest wells of faith are not reached when God makes moderate, borderline-believable statements, but when God makes outrageous, seemingly impossible promises to us relating to the height, the breadth, and the depth of His shared glory.

Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup. Moses gave up the title "Son of Pharaoh's Daughter" to suffer evil with his people.

Here is the first Q&A session from the Phoenix, Arizona conference in May of this year. In this session, I field questions concerning the nature of Christ, the composition of God, and how I feel about my son Gabe receiving the love of the truth. Then Dave Ward stands up and tells us about the time he cursed God in the midst of one of the worst trials of his life, and the surprising way God responded to him. This prompts me to elaborate upon Romans 5:8 and how Christ saved us while we were still sinners. Next, Rodney Paris asks about the upcoming projects. I tell the saints about the soon-to-be-announced book, "Christianity's Final Solution," and the young man written about in the book, who is my son Paul, and how Christianity had captured him to the point that he now believes that his grandparents are burning in hell. This video is loaded. You will never receive more truth on such a variety of topics in thirty minutes than you do here. Grace, peace, and love to you all.

The revelation starts in earnest here at 7:30, but, knowing that ahead of time, I hope you will enjoy the first seven and a half minutes of me 1) expanding upon an old theme (the preexistence of Christ), 2) sharing a worthy quote from my son Gabe, and 3) bringing out new evidence that reading the Scriptures as a child is the only path keeping the true seeker from guile-induced interpretations. But at the 7:30 mark? Buckle in, because you’re going to hear things you’ve never heard before.

Anyone reading the Scriptures naturally, that is, without professorial or professional theological input, cannot help but reach the conclusion that the Son of God had a glory with the Father before He entered our world at Bethlehem. I cannot see any way possible that a natural reading of Scripture—that is, a reading of it as a child, that is, simply believing the words on the page—could cause anyone to look up from the page and say, “Jesus Christ did not exist before Bethlehem.” The theory of the non-preexistence of Christ, therefore, is a construct. It is a forced, ARTIFICIAL reading imposed upon those inclined to not be satisfied with the simple words on the page, who don’t really want to believe as children, but who rather wish to possess (even if only subconsciously) some sort of “special knowledge,” a secret, complicated insight granted to few. The possessors of such special knowledge might then consider themselves (even if only subconsciously) superior to the “simple people” who find themselves at the additional disadvantage of believing something that happens to align with Christian tradition. There is a new player at the Non-Preexistence table: Mary Catherine. This woman makes the startling announcement in the comment section of one of my most recent videos that “our very hope of salvation is hinged on Jesus being one of us.” Mary Catherine also insists, later in the comment, that Jesus was “fully one of us." "FULLY one of us?" Do I even need to detail for you the disastrous implications of such a consequential error? Okay.

I begin this episode of MZTV with a private moment outside on my patio in Ft. Lauderdale, telling you why any sort of "live and kindly discussion" invitations on the topic of the preexistence of Christ (with Scripture-believers Vs. Tories) will be vehemently refused by your's truly. I would and will never give air time or share air time with anyone seeking to subvert Christ's glories with philosophy, theory, and explanation rather than with Scripture. Ain't gonna happen. One of my favorite A.E. Knoch quotes is, "God gives teachers, not roundtable discussions." The truth is not up for discussion—especially not the obvious truth of Christ's preexistence. Should we "discuss" eternal torment with, say, a Baptist? This would only be fruitful in a one-on-one encounter, where the motive is to convert the Baptist. In a public setting, the "discussion forum" only serves to legitimize the lie in the eyes of some. "Oh, they're giving the Tories air time. There must be something to this." Paul said concerning the Circumcisionists of his day, in Titus 1:11, "[They] must be gagged, who are subverting whole households, teaching what they must not." I feel the same way about the Tories. It isn't that the Tory position wouldn't be buried in a debate or discussion forum. Please. This position has not a Scriptural leg to stand on. Even the remotest entertainment of the theory requires (from the Tories) tortured explanations, a sub-study of Jewish philosophy, a bent for philosophy in general, and a conscious blind eye toward the many obvious Scripture passages against it. Someone suggested such a discussion in the comment section of yesterday's video. A man named Mikael enthusiastically replied, "Totally agree!" This tells me instantly that Mikael is a Tory. Why? Because only Tories want the discussion forum. Why? Tories NEED the discussion forum/format because their position relies, not upon rapid-fire, single-verse Scripture quotes, but upon lengthy explanations about why plain Scripture verses don't mean what they mean. Their position depends on philosophical explanations. They are dead in a contest of proof texts. Why? They don't have any proof texts. Conversely, the truth of the preexistence of Christ enjoys multiple proof texts—as any truth generally does. What bothers me most about the Tories is that they are not stopped short by the fact that their position has not a single verse backing it. The fact that their position must be explained and, in fact, excused, doesn't make them step back and say, "Hm. Maybe something is wrong here." This indicates to me that some other motive is afoot—some motive besides, "Let's get to the truth." I detect an emotional attachment of the Tories to their position that keeps them from objectivity, causing actual proof texts from the other side to bounce harmlessly off their hardened, psychological defenses. It's freaking weird. Also, why won't Mark Haukaas (The Pirate) tell us the name of the professor who taught him that nothing came into existence through Christ, and that Christ never descended from heaven, and that Christ Jesus never came to be in fashion as a human? Someone had to TEACH him this, as it's not a position that comes naturally via organic Scripture study. I'd like to know the name of the guy so that he can be researched. Maybe this would give us a clue as to the motive/mental disposition required to defend this position. The rest of this episode is my first talk from the Des Moines, Iowa conference on September 16th of this year (2023). Thankfully, it's upon a different topic than the one at hand. (You're welcome.)
