Connecting the Dots between Headlines and Prophecies

Bill Wilson – www.dailyjot.com

The headlines around the world are spinning fast with prophetic significance. Iran is sending so-called "humanitarian relief" ships to Gaza. While the government there says it is not intending to pick a fight with Israel, actions speak louder than words. Saudi Arabia, according to US Defense Department officials, has given Israel clearance to Saudi airspace in the event Israel wants to bomb Iran. It is reported that the United States, at the directive of the White House, is going to support a United Nations investigation of Israel over the terrorist blockade incident outside Gaza. There are even several reports circulating that the American president admitted he is a Muslim to the Egyptian Foreign minister.

The Lord says in Ezekiel 38 that there will be a colossal battle in the latter days where Magog (considered modern day Russia with perhaps extensions into China and Turkey), Persia (modern day Iran), Ethiopia (Northeastern Africa) and Libya (Northwestern Africa) will come against Israel. Ezekiel 39:9 says that they that dwell in the cities "shall set on fire and burn the weapons" from that battle, "and they shall burn them with fire seven years." Isaiah 17:1 says that "Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap." One can see the city of Damascus, Syria from Israel's land in the Golan Heights.

The Lord says in Zechariah 12:3, "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it." Verse 9 says, "And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem." In decades past, the United States has been a strong supporter of Israel. Many prophetic writers have wondered how will the US ever be a part of this prophecy, yet in one ballot, one election, we have seen the foreign policy of America take a nearly 180 degree turn in support of Islamic states over Israel--to the point of allowing Iranian nuclear proliferation at Israel's expense.

The Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:1, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." But he exhorts believers in verses 14-15, "But continue thou in the things which thou has learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." And Jesus said in Matthew 24:32-33, "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors." These are days where we must prepare our hearts.

Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Anti-Semitism at End Times Level - By Bill Keller – www.raptureready.com

Sadly, anti-Semitism is alive and well in 2010. The recent incident with the Turkish ship bringing "humanitarian supplies" to the Palestinians has sparked a world-wide outcry of anti-Israeli sentiments. President Obama and this current administration has been very clear in its' support for the enemies of Israel, putting us on the wrong side of God. The bottom line is that Israel has every right to defend itself from those who brazenly call for the destruction of the state of Israel and all of the Jewish people, just as we have the right to defend ourselves from those who seek our destruction..

Like in everything, God's Word gives us the clear truth regarding Israel. Please, do yourself a favor right now and get your Bible and sit down and spend the next 10 minutes reading the anchor verses for today, Genesis 12:1-7, 13:14-16, 15:18; Deuteronomy 9:4-6; Joshua 1:1-11, 21:43-45. You could spend hours reading all the passages in God's Word that confirm that modern-day Israel is the land God promised to Abraham and gave to His children. You do not have to be a Bible scholar to quickly realize in just the few key passages I have given you today that the land of Israel is indeed the exact land God Himself promised to His children 4,000 years ago, and fulfilled that promise in 1385 B.C. when Joshua took possession of that land.

Having laid the Biblical case to support that the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, now you can see why giving away even one inch of that land to anyone else is going against God Himself. No person, no nation, has the right to give away what God promised and gave to the Jewish people. Those who do make themselves an enemy of God! Over and over throughout the Bible and human history, nations have invaded this land, taken it over, only to be defeated in the end. The land of Israel is only 20,330 sq km, slightly smaller than the state of New Jersey. Out of the billions of square miles that exist on this earth, this is the only place on the planet God literally promised and gave to His children. For anyone to go in and try to give a piece of that land away is foolish.

That is why the current "peace plan" the United States has had such a large role in working out will never work and has actually put our nation on the opposite side of God . . . again! Let me be clear. The Gaza Strip belongs to ISRAEL! The West Bank belongs to ISRAEL! Jerusalem, all of it, belongs to ISRAEL! For this nation to be involved in any deals, even under the guise of "peace," that involves giving away the land God gave to the children of Israel is taking on God Himself. Not to mention that this land is being given away to the ENEMIES OF ISRAEL.

My friend, one of the problems many have with the Bible is that they can't understand why a God of love would command His children to go to war and "kill every man, woman, child, and living thing" as He did many times in the Old Testament. The reason was this. God in His omniscience knew that the enemies of Israel, those who came to possess their land, had no desire for peace but the complete destruction and annihilation of the Jewish people. The complete obliteration of the Jewish people was their ONLY goal, not peace. Sadly, there are some people who have no desire for peace, only death and destruction and you either destroy them or they destroy you. That is one of the sad realities of living in this fallen and evil world.

For those who oppose the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, they either don't understand or are completely blind to the fact that there are people on this planet whose only goal is the complete destruction of the United States and every person who lives here. That means you and your family too. I am thankful that this current administration understands this fact and that the peace-nuts we see on TV constantly don't have the power to impose their Pollyanna views of life on the defense policies of this nation or we would all be in grave danger. The sad reality is that there are real people alive this very moment whose very real goal is the complete destruction of the United States. We will either kill them or they will kill us. We are blessed that our forefathers understood the evil that exists in this world or we would not be here today, enjoying the wonderful freedoms and life we do.

Israel also clearly understands the reality that there are people who desire their death and destruction. They don't have the luxury of great oceans on either side as we do, and their enemies literally live all around them. That is what makes this current "peace plan" so silly. To actually take some of the small amount of land that belongs to Israel and literally give it to their enemies is absurd and ridiculous. It will only embolden and empower those who seek the destruction of Israel. Again, make no mistake about it. While we and others seek "peace," it takes TWO to make peace.

Despite the claims by the Palestinian leadership, their goal is NOT peace but the destruction of Israel. I have always been amused at why anyone thinks it is necessary to give the little strip of land God gave to Israel away to her enemies, when Israel is surrounded by Arab nations with VAST AMOUNTS of land who could easily assimilate their Arab brothers into their countries. Why do the Palestinians have to live on the land God gave to Israel when there is plenty of land in neighboring Arab countries they could live on? What is wrong with a "peace plan" that gave some of the land in surrounding Arab countries to the Palestinians?

I want to close with a powerful promise God made to Abraham 4,000 years ago in Genesis 12:3, "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." This one verse of Scripture is why what is happening in Israel right now is so critical to THIS NATION! In being part of a plan to give away the land God gave to Israel to anyone, especially her enemies who seek her destruction, puts us on the wrong side of God. We should be seeking the BLESSINGS of God, not His CURSES!

Even though most Jewish people have rejected Christ as their Savior, blinded to the reality that He is the Messiah they were promised in the Old Testament, they were, are, and always will be God's chosen people. The promise God gave Abraham in Genesis 12:3 is still in effect today. Our Christian faith is traced back through the children of Israel. The last events of this world will be played out in Israel. That is why we need to pray for and support the Jewish people and God's plan for the land of Israel. Our blessings in life come from following God, not being in opposition to God!
