"Therefore thus says the Lord God,
"Surely the nations which are around you will themselves endure their
insults" (Ezek.
36:7).
Hey Gang: I
have been a student of prophecy for nearly half of my eighty one years and when
I felt God was leading me into developing a prophecy blog I thought it would be
a piece of cake. But such has not been
the case.
That does not mean that I
cannot send out a constant supply of things that one might consider prophetic
in nature for there are usually several articles that come across the computer
each day of things that need to be shared, but getting them refined in the
brain and developed into the right format is a horse of different color.
John Poole,
an old country preacher, after bringing a message that raised the roof of the
auditorium a notch or two was wrapping up his message when an elderly gentlemen
in the middle of the auditorium began to shout, "Somethin's fixin’ to
happen, somethin's fixin’ to happen over and over again. John said," Ya know that really ticked
me off".....at first....but then it began to get into my spirit and I came
down off the pulpit and went down and put my arms around that brother and
shouted, "I don't know what and when it is fixin’ to happen, but I'm fixin’
to be a part of it.”
War is
certainly on the minds of most of the people of the world today. I recently heard a discussion, more like a
question and answer session involving several of the major players in the
prophetic world at this time, pertaining to what is the next big step in the
prophetic word. One felt that we are
nearing that time when Gog-Magog would surface its ugly head. There is certainly sufficient information to
get caught up in this idea but I have always had a problem with this scenario.
My question
with Gog-Magog being next centers on the fact that none of those nations that
are butted up against Israel are mentioned as participants in the Gog - Magog War. My question, “How come" They are certainly alive and well today,
loaded for bear and have all the killing devices needed to fulfill what they
continually tell us is their goal - to annihilate Israel.
In Psalm 83
we find words that have become very common in the Sons of Ishmael and Esau
world; "Your enemies make an up
roar". And who is the enemy
referred to here? Those nations that are
neighbors to Israel proper. "And those who hate You have exalted
themselves. They have said, "Come let us wipe them out as a nation
that the name of Israel be remembered no more" For they have conspired together with one
mind; against You they make a covenant." (vs. 2-5).
And then one
day a gentlemen by the name of Bill Salas surfaced with a book entitled Isralestine
(The ancient blueprint of the future of
the Middle East). That hit my hot
button because it agreed with my way of thinking. We like to be agreed with, don't we? He has become a favorite on the speaking
circuit, basically because he has filled a void that was a source of argument
among the various schools of prophetic thought.
In a nut
shell he replaced Gog-Magog with Psalm 83 as being the next step in the
prophetic wars. Psalm 83 reads very much
like news reports that are filling our airways today. To set the table for understanding what Asaph
was saying in Psalm 83 it is important to understand where we are at this moment
prophetically. To get a wide angle
picture we need to turn to Zechariah 12:3 "It
will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all
the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be
gathered against it".
This tiny
nation, about the size of New Jersey, has been and will continue to be the
center fold on the world news circuit until Father God says to Son, Yeshua -
Time to go for it!
Blessings,
PS I wrote this blog several weeks ago. Note the Supreme Court decision recently to overturn a Congressional Law allowing US Citizens born in Jerusalem to claim Israel as their nation of origin. Thus saying Jerusalem is not a part of Israel!
