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."
PASTOR JOHN HAGEE
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."
