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:
1) The PENTECOSTAL MOVEMENT,
2)The FAITH-HEALING MOVEMENT,
3) The CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT,
4) The HEBREW MOVEMENT.
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?
“This fourth major move (the Hebrew) of the Holy Spirit in this
century will be every bit as powerful as the previous three, and will bring
this final work of God to completion in a final, unified, four-fold thrust
of power and glory; it will take us all into the heavenlies to be with
Him where He is....Then God’s awesome power will fill us with the same
awesome glory which is His eternally wonderful presence. On that great
day, every gift of the Spirit will be operating in great release, and the
Lord will be revealed in all His fullness. We will then be like Him, full
of His power and glory, for we shall see Him as He truly is, unveiled for
all to see.”
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:
“I believe that right now, God is saying, ‘Turn and align your
thinking more perfectly down My revealed runway of Hebrew thought, the
thoughts I REVEALED THROUGH THE HEBREW PEOPLE, AND LET’S GET READY TO GO
TO GLORY!’
... We’ll leave on the same runway Jesus landed on - Old Testament
Hebrew revelations and prophecies, and Hebrew ways of thinking and living.
That’s who God revealed Himself to be, and Who Jesus also showed Himself
to be when He lived here on this planet in the flesh.”
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:
“Many errors were incorporated into the early church in order
to please and accommodate Greek culture, and to escape anti-Hebrew persecutions
from the Romans. These early corruptions are what we mean by the Hebrew-to-Greek
shift. The correction of this past mistake is the turning of that great
airliner in what is called the Greek-to-Hebrew shift, to the Hebrew Movement.
It is what God now expects from us before He more fully empowers us, and
thrusts us into His glory. It’s what we need to do to make Him more comfortable
about openly identifying Himself with us in His full approval of glory
and power.”
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:
“It’s almost as if Jesus were predicting (in Matt.5:17-20), though
certainly not approving what eventually did happen in the church when it
left its Hebrew roots. He may have even been predicting the very Hebrew
Movement which will now wrap up the church age. This verse says that unless
we connect the move of the Spirit which Jesus brought, with the Hebrew
which He Himself was walking in, then we as the church, and as individuals
will not be ready for lift-off into the kingdom of heaven. We have to align
with Him.” DESPATCH comment: The Church went on into the New Testament
doctrines and Life in Christ because GOD gave a higher revelation in His
Son, because we were no longer under the old covenant. Matt.5:17-20 was
written before Jesus Christ fulfilled all the Law in our place, by living
a totally righteous life according to the Law, and by dying for us according
to Law. The Law if broken demanded spiritual death, Jesus Christ took our
punishment according to Law. In Matthew 5 Jesus Christ was talking to the
old dispensation Jews, who had not come into the blessings of the Christian
Church (Galatians 5:1): “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage
(the Law).” “For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit,
and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” (Philippians
3:1-11, read all of this). “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the
law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that
hangeth on a tree.” (Galatians 3:13).
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”:
“The church has now come full circle. All that has gone before,
from the Reformation until this very minute, has been God’s cautious and
persistent work to get us back to the fuller understanding of Who Jesus
was. It is now time for the fuller revelation of Who God and Jesus really
are. He is saying, ‘I want you connected to the Old Testament root, but
in the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit, so that you can keep the
Law as I kept it, in the same Spirit in which it was given, in redemptive
love and power.’ We MUST MOVE BACK to the centerline of God’s truth, with
the power of 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:
“The Secrets of the Ark. Deep beneath the Jerusalem Temple site
was the great stable of King Solomon, which had reImagesed sealed and untouched
since Biblical times. The enormous underground shelter was described by
a Crusader as ‘a stable of such marvellous capacity and extent that it
could hold more than 2,000 horses’. To find and open up this capacious
store-room was the original secret mission of the Knights Templars, for
it was known by St Bernard to contain the Ark of the Covenant which in
turn, held the greatest of all treasures - the TABLES OF TESTIMONY. (Despatch
comment, maybe the Noahide Laws? We publish a booklet re these Laws, called
"Which Law? What Law?" see p. 51).
...Inscribed on them were the Tables of Testimony - the Cosmic
equation: the divine law of number, measure and weight. The mystical art
of reading the inscriptions was achieved by the cryptic system of the Cabbala.
(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).
...There was a positive distinction made between the ‘Tables
of Testimony’, written by God, and the ‘Ten Commandments’, which were separately
written by Moses. For centuries the Church has implied that the Covenant
of the Ten Commandments was the important part of this package, in consequence
of which the truly important Tables of Testimony have been strategically
ignored.
... Undoubtedly, the Ark and the Tables were the prized possessions
of Jerusalem - but when Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the Temple (in around
586 BC), neither was listed in the schedule of plunder.
...The age-old cult of Mary Magdalene, the embodiment of the Pistis
Sophia, reImagess fully central to the theme, and the beautiful Magdalene
window at Chartres has an inscription which reads ‘Donated by the Water-carriers’
the Aquarians. Mary was the bearer of the Holy Grail, and she will undoubtedly
become ever more prominent as the great new ‘Inspiration’ of the Aquarian
Age - the age of renewed intellect, wisdom and the UNIVERSAL LAW of the
ARK.”
(End of quote from the Freemasonry, New Age, book).
