Despatch Vol. 10:1

THE FOURTH “BIG” MOVE OF “GOD ?” ?
THE HEBREW ROOTS MOVEMENT ??

In Despatch since late `97 & Despatch 95 & Despatch 96, we have sought to do a rather unpopular thing, with some people anyway. That is, to seek to warn Christians of the rise of a neo-Judaising of the Christian Church in the 1990s, and the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy in regard to the apostasy coming which entails Israel!

This move of Judaising has become strong in fundamentalist circles, as well as in Charismatic, Evangelical and Pentecostal circles. Some of the charac-teristics of this rapidly growing movement are: keeping Jewish Feasts; going back to the Mosaic law; keeping the Sabbath day on a Saturday; obeying O. T. dietary require ments meant for the Jews; re-writing the Scriptures to make the New Testament more Hebrew; insisting that Israel is the `root' and therefore the `leading people' in the Christian Church; calling Jesus Christ “Y’shua” - and much more. We have been alarmed at the strangeness of this Hebrew/Israel emphasis, especially after viewing on video the Messianic Jew, Dick Reubens, in action at Brownsville, the starting place of the Pensacola “revival” (see Despatch, December, 1997, edition for more). The Christian investigator, Linda Sellers, from the USA, has sent Endtime Ministries quite stunning documentation pertaining to this subject, which confirms our apprehension!

THE HEBREW MOVEMENT.

A strange “prophecy” is the first document from Linda. From Open Church Ministries, written by Dean Cozzens, Dec. 1997. We will deal with this first. I will quote, and then comment. Writes Cozzens: “On Sunday morning, April 13, 1986, I heard the following prophecy” (Despatch: this shows the man is going by extra-biblical revelation, instead of the Bible’s prophecy).

Cozzens: “At the beginning of the twentieth century, when God looked down from heaven at the church, what he saw looked like a giant 747 airliner, but with no engines. He then set out to attach giant engines of faith and power to the body of the plane, so that the church would have the power to come to Him where He is, up in realms of glory. Each of these four engines represents one of the four major moves of God’s Spirit ordained for this century:

All four are sovereignly ordained of God and coordinate and interrelated in His mind. Each successive move builds upon the last, and each has its own distinctives. None are perfect, but they all have something from God to contribute to His Plan, The prophecy said that God was now beginning to attach the fourth and final ‘ engine’ - the HEBREW MOVEMENT.

Though many of the right doctrines have been in place in the Body of Christ, from all of the past moves of God’s restoration through history, much is still missing, which God wants to restore. This fourth movement is to be called ‘The Hebrew Movement.’ This movement will to some degree ENCOMPASS AND INFLUENCE the ENTIRE BODY OF CHRIST, adding depth, and leading us into greater UNITY at last, not just with one another, but with God and his Word.” (End of quote from Cozzens).

DESPATCH comments:
In this so-called “prophecy” the Pentecostal leader, Dean Cozzens, reveals that “God” showed Him the future. The three major apostate movements of this century: The Pentecostal Movement (early beginnings contained a lot which was sound), The Faith-Healing Movement, The Charismatic Movement - and then Cozzens sums up the “final engine”, the fourth movement, as being The Hebrew Movement! It seems that the spirits who are deceiving this man have given him knowledge of the present move of Judaising Christendom, which he sees as “encompass[ing]” and “influenc-[ing]” the entire Body of Christ, which will bring more “unity”. This is a “major move” the fake prophecy says. I was shocked by this paper of Cozzens, for this is exactly what seems to be befalling Christendom, as we race toward AD 2000. Christendom is becoming Jewish, with the emphasis going away from the finished work of Christ, and Jesus Christ as All in All, back into the Old Testament Jewish Law, even having sacrifices instead of seeing Jesus Christ as the One and Only sacrifice needed.

The book of Hebrews tells it all, we urge our readers to study afresh this book - to the HEBREWS. In it God says something like seven times that in Christ Jesus there is a “BETTER” Way than the former Old Testament Hebrew/Israeli covenant. See how the book to the Hebrews opens:

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;” (V.v.1,2). Jesus Christ is “better than” the Old Testament prophets, He is the Son of God come to the earth. See Hebrews chapters 9-10 and see how much better Jesus Christ is than the Hebrew/Israeli dispensation.

WHAT DOES COZZENS SAY
THE HEBREW MOVEMENT WILL ACCOMPLISH?

DESPATCH comment:
It seems that the Hebrew Movement is seen as completing and unifying Christendom. Then the language is very like the New Age belief in man becomes “god”, whilst still on earth. The remarks about “take us all into the heavenlies” is not the Rapture, but rather a rather “manifest sons of God” event, similar to the New Age “homo-noeticus?”, man evolves into God? Of course the Bible tells us that we are already, positionally, seated in heavenly places with Christ and the Father (Mark 16:19; Ephesians 1:3). One wonders who this “Lord” who will be revealed is? This is not about the God of the Bible, it is counterfeit.

THE MOVE AWAY FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT,
IN THE GREEK LANGUAGE.

Writes Cozzens:

DESPATCH comment:
Jesus Christ was born a Jew, but He was a representative Man for the whole world. The New Testament is a higher revelation than the Old, and the prophecies in the Old can only really be understood by the opening of them in the New Testament. We do not go back into Hebrew thought, we are to go on in Jesus Christ.

Cozzens again:

DESPATCH comments:
Now this is sheer nonsense! The New Testament was given in Greek by the agency of the Holy Spirit, those Scriptures are infallible, they are the Word of God. The Greek-to-Hebrew “shift” has nothing whatsoever to do with Truth, it is merely a backwards step into bondage, when Christ Jesus has given us freedom in the New Man (see Rom. 7).

Cozzens goes on to mangle the meaning of Matt.5:17-20 and writes this:

Cuzzens finishes on a terrible note, bringing his listeners back under the Old Testament Law for the Fourth, Hebrew Movement’s, “blessing” in the “Holy Spirit”: Despatch Comment:
NO, readers!
We must move forward into more and more of Christ Jesus, forgetting those things which are behind, we have a high calling in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13,14). We can never keep the Law as Jesus kept it, if we ever could have Jesus Christ would never have had to die on the Cross. We could have saved ourselves by keeping the Law. Even in the power of the Holy Spirit no Christian can ever live a sinless life according to the Perfect Law of God.

THE MASON’S TABLES OF TESTIMONY.

cument that was sent from the USA BY Linda Sellers was a photostatted portion of the “BLOODLINE OF THE HOLY GRAIL”, by Laurence Gardner.

A Masonic/ Illuminati book written about the bogus “Hidden Lineage” of Jesus. In this evil book the New Age version of the Ten Commandments is shown, an esoteric, Jewish kind of occult “mystery”. The New Age is making much of the so-called “Noahide Laws”, which are supposed to be Biblical. Could we eventually see a form of esoteric “Commandments”, very Hebrew in nature, which join and complement the Noahide Laws? A counterfeit religious Rule of Life for the New Millennium of the Aquarians? There is every indication in Biblical prophecy that Israel will be the centre of the religious/political rule of the Antichrist, in the Tribulation period. Fake Hebrew “laws” then would be right in character with such a dictatorship. From “Bloodline of the Holy Grail”, p.p.257-260, We caution the reader that this is occult material, none of it should be accepted as correct:

(Despatch comment, remember those Torah Codes, which enthused many Christians last year? They were esoteric, cryptic messages supposed to be predictions hidden in the Bible). (End of quote from the Freemasonry, New Age, book).
