“In that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot among pieces
of wood and a flaming torch among heaves so they will consume on the right hand
and on the left all the surrounding peoples, while the inhabitants of Jerusalem
again dwell on their own sites in Jerusalem” (Zech. 12:8).
Hey Gang: Isn’t it great when someone, that you feel is credible, agrees
with something that you have said.? Bill
Salus in his book Isrealestine, a book that is well worth your time, lays out what I believe is very
common sense picture of what is going to happen in Israel and the surrounding
countries of Israel in the very near future.
It would help your understanding of what is about to happen, if you read
Psalm 83 in its entirety and zero in on verses one through eight. It would also be helpful if you translate the
names used by the psalmist into today’s names of the various countries.
Aside! I pray you will bear with me as we traverse
through what I have identified as my ninth ‘sign of the time’. I believe it is
perhaps the most visible and profound picture of the rapid coming of the final
chapter of God’s prophetic plan. There
have been dozens of books written on the subject of Psalm 83 and Gog-Magog. My intent of the mega pages is to whittle it
down to an epistle of a page or two.
Perhaps it will build a hunger and thirst in your heart and soul to dig
deeper than you will find in this very short overview.
Point 1, I believe God has only
partly fulfilled the reestablishment of the land of milk and honey and Psalm 83
could be the second tier of fulfillment.
If Psalm 83 is a coming event, and I believe it is, then compared the
boundaries of all of the nations mentioned in the prophecy beside the
geographic boundaries of the Abrahamic Covenant, they are very close.
Keep in mind there are two
prerequisites that must be in place before the great bear from the North comes
into the land of Israel: “They will come against a land of unwalled
villages, I will go against those who are at rest to capture spoil and seize
plunder”. (Ezek. 38:11-12). In other words Israel must be at peace and
prosperous. How to they achieve those near impossible goals? By doing a repeat
of the past three wars with their neighbors - only this time they will complete
the task at hand.
Having been to Israel several times
and rubbing elbows with the Jewish people, we found several common denominators
that are found in most people of the land: they are sick of war, they want only
to live their lives, and be a blessing to the world. They are bordering on
exhaustion and the anxiety takes even greater toll on the hearts, minds and
bodies every day, since they are a pagan country that has, and continues to
reject Jesus as their Messiah and Lord and King, they would sell their souls to
the devil to gain peace. And that folks
is precisely that they are going to do.
Daniel nine tells us, “And he
will make a firm covenant with the many for one week” (verse 27).
Now, tucked away in verse 37:10 of
Ezekiel, we find another of those mor: subtle fulfillments of God’s prophetic
word: “So I prophesied as He commanded
me, and the breath came into them, and they came to life and stood on their
feet, an exceedingly great army”.
In Chapter 33:22 of Jeremiah we find yet another promise from God that
has been fulfilled and continues to be fulfilled. “So I
will multiply the descendants of David”.
As Anti-Semitism grows and persecution increases, the children of Israel
are returning to the land of their heritage in ever increasing numbers and many
of these olim enlist immediately, upon arrival, into the Israel Defense Force,
increasing the fire power of the IDF.
Aside: In a recent report from Olive Tree Ministries
is a story of a reporter who spent time with the ISIS leaders and was released
to carry the ISIS message to the world.
He reported ISIS does not fear the Europeans, the Americans, or any Army
of the world except one – Israel. Why
Israel? Because they are guerilla
fighters than can root out the enemies, even when embedded in cities.
So folks I want you to be aware of
the Psalm 83 prophecy so that when it happens, and I believe it could happen
tonight or tomorrow morning or any morning thereafter. Keep in mind that the goal of the militant
Muslims is a world- wide caliphate. The
ISIS terrorist organization is made up of Sunni Muslims who are bent on
annihilating all who disagree with their religion totally. They are bent on the world being under the
domination of their coming Madhi 12, who will rule with an iron fist. If that should happen Sharia Law will be the
law of the world and let me tell you folks, especially the woman folk out
there, that is not something you want to see happen.
I could continue to write epistles
based on prophecy every day from now until Jesus comes, and I probably will
continue to send them out periodically, but there does not seem to be much
interest in prophecy in the blog readership, so perhaps that is God’s way of
saying I need to place my time in other areas.
We will continue on the same Monday, Wednesday, Friday format on Gramps Morning Thoughts and occasionally include something of
today’s prophecy fulfillment on Fridays.
The last of this series will be posted on What’s Happening Man blog, Saturday,
Feb 6.
Blessings,
Gramps
