Israel Destined for Deliverance

Israel Destined for Deliverance

"We are on a countdown to crisis.
A nuclear showdown with Iran is apparent.
The battle for Jerusalem has begun.
This war will affect every person on planet Earth."

There is a prophesied "10 Nation European confederacy" symbolized by the “ten horns" in Revelation 17.
Note that, in 1973, Britain, Denmark and Ireland joined the EEC, making it a union of 9 nations.
In 1981, Greece joined making them 10.
They became the political and economic framework of a United Europe [Fortress Europe].
They are uniting against God; they unite against Israel, and against the Church.
What fools the nations are to rage against the Lord!
How strange that men should try to outwit God!  For a summit conference of the nations has been called to plot against the Lord and His Messiah, Christ the King. 
Psa. 2:1-2 TLB
The kings of the Earth are taking positions, leaders conspiring together, against Adonai and His Anointed.

The way to the "Gog and Magog War" has already been paved on the corridors of global politics, today.
Gog and Magog War is recorded in Ezekiel 38 and 39.

Israel had her independence in 1948, and fought “the War for Independence" from 1948 to 1949; the 1956 War; the Sinai Campaign; the Six Day War in 1967; and the Yom Kippur War in 1973. In all these cases, Israel was attacked. They were never the aggressor. They won all wars against impossible odds.

Today, the nuclear storm clouds are gathering over Iran and Israel, casting a long shadow on America and the nations of the world!
Iran's nuclear arsenal is almost ready, and will impact the world as never before imagined!
War in the Middle East is evidently escalating in fulfillment of Isaiah 17.

Here is a synopsis:
According to Daniel 9 there is a period of 62 Years during which Jerusalem will be restored.
The 62 Year count started in May of 1948.
After the 62 years are over, then a 7 year period is left before the Messiah comes back and establishes His Messianic Kingdom; that is the tribulation period of Revelation.

Signs to expect:
1. Nations of the world will come against Jerusalem.
Things that will lead to this event have already begun.
A past US president turned his back on Israel and told them to divide Jerusalem or face the full wrath of America, Europe and the rest of the world economically. Who would have ever believed that America would do this?
The consequences for this betrayal will be great.

2. This war is a physical war where the whole world uses their proxies to carry out their hatred against God's chosen people; the tribulation saints and Israel—even the US will stand by and do nothing to help.
God will help Israel!

Prophet Zechariah records in the book of Zechariah chapter 12:
This is the Word of the Lord concerning Israel. The Lord, Who stretches out the heavens, Who lays the foundation of the Earth, and Who forms the spirit of man within him, declares: "I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the Lord. "I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations.  Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, 'The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their God.'
"On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.
"The Lord will save the dwellings of Judah first, so that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem's inhabitants may not be greater than that of Judah. On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the Angel of the Lord going before them. On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.
"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a Spirit of Grace and Supplication. They will look on Me, the One they have pierced, and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son. On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be great, like the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. The land will mourn, each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their wives, the clan of the house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives, and all the rest of the clans and their wives.
NIV

The time of "Jacob's trouble" will be both a time of great chaos and calamity as well as a pouring out of the Spirit of God on the house of Israel as the world we see the hand of God working on behalf of Israel.

"Those nations who align with God's Purposes will receive His Blessing. Those who follow a policy of opposition to God's Purposes will receive the swift and severe Judgment of God without limitation."
