I am not predicting End Time, but our spiritual enemy seems to be hard at work.
“For
behold, in those days and at that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah
and Jerusalem, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley
of Jehoshaphat Then I will enter into judgment with them here on
behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among
the nations, AND THEY HAVE DIVIDED UP My land” (Joel
3:2 )
Hey
Gang: The president announcement that he is going to go to Israel in the
coming month to get the parties to the talking table and fix the problem that
has persisted since Hagar and Ishmael were sent packing by Sarah, and Esau got
snuffed out of his birthright.
When I
heard this announcement, I immediately took inventory of my surroundings, laid
in a few extra provisions and filled the wood box to the hilt, for such
announcements do have a history or woe that followed shortly after they
were initiated since the focus will be for Israel to give land and Jerusalem
for peace.
Did
you notice that shortly after John Kerry was approved to be Secretary of
State by the Senate, he announced he would be donning his diplomat’s hat and
heading to the most sensitive spot of the world (Israel), to prepare the way
for our exalted leader to do what a ‘skillion’ people have failed to do - get
the parties to sit down at a table and put thousands of years of hatred and
mistrust behind them and come up with a solution to the number one problem in
the world.
John
Muncy (I don’t know who John Muncy is but his letter seemed to make sense to
me) recently published an excellent letter pertaining to the folly of this type
of approach to solving the problem. In it he wrote,” I have 75
examples of major storms striking our country each time our nation’s leaders
try to force the hand of the Israeli leaders to give away their
promised/covenant land in exchange for peace.”
It
is interesting to note that within days of Kerry’s announcing that he
would be going to Israel to put pressure on them to give away more Covenant
Land, a major storm hit Massachusetts. As Muncy in his letter and Koenig, in his
book Eye to Eye, clearly explained, this is not a good idea.
Note the Scripture of the day, Joel made it pretty clear that God takes a
dim view of we earthly folks trying to put Israel in the shoe box, and then
sealing it shut, and burying it in a cave someplace.
Paul
wrote an irrevocable law, “Be not deceived, God is not mocked, whatever
he sows, that will he reap”. (Gal 6:7). Obediah 1:15
clearly states: “For the day of the Lord draws near on all the
nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your dealings
will return on your own head.”
The
Question, “Will we learn before it is too late? God made it very clear in
Genesis 12, “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those
who curse you.”
Again,
quoting from John Muncy’s letter, “Like it or not, God judges those nations
that cross over His clear covenant with the Jews. Any time you want to
test His authority and power to make you miserable, try touching the “apple of
His eye (see Zechariah 2:8). And He as many ways of making us miserable.”
Sooooo, my friends, button down the hatches, lay in some extra
provisions and make your insurance is up to date. Also keep in mind, if
there is no Israel, then Jesus cannot return again and all the
promises He made about Israel are bogus. And you can bet your sweet
bippy, you can take each one of Jesus’ promises to the bank.
Blessings,
Gramps
