As a 'watchman' of God's prophetic Word, my
head is absolutely exploding right now! ... As I scan the world's current news
reports, I simply cannot believe how rapidly it is all accelerating! ... and of
course, I want to talk about ALL OF IT right now ... but, of course, that would
simply be impossible. ... Sooooo ..
what I've decided to do is take each piece
as it comes and report on it as we go forward ... and where to start is obvious
... the rapidly increasing isolation of the State of Israel. ...
Zechariah 12:2-3 says this ... "I am
going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples
reeling. Judah will be besieged as well
as Jerusalem. 3) 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." (emphasis mine)
Those of us who follow Bible prophecy know
clearly that it all evolves around Israel and the Jewish people. ... There are
many, many verses throughout the Holy Bible that teaches us about this. ... We
have in just the last 65+ years seen the Jews regain their land (1948) ...
retake control of Jerusalem (1967) and so on ... and now we are witnessing the
total isolation of Israel, even as it rapidly increases with each passing day.
...
We already know that the surrounding Arab
nations hate her, but now we are even seeing the western nations turning their
backs on her. ... This headline appeared today in The Times of Israel ...
" 'Don't isolate Israel,' urges EU
parliament Israel-relations chair" .... Yes, there are a few voices out
there trying to bring the nations back to their collective senses, but less
& less with each passing moment. ...
But the most obvious 'desertion' is
America, the one considered true and staunch ally Israel could always count on.
... Of course, as 'watchmen,' we knew this would have to happen as Zechariah's
prophecy tells us ..."all nations" ... but it is simply amazing just
how fast this is now taking place! ... Just take a quick look at last week's
Israeli election. ... It is documented that our current leaders did everything
in their power to upend the current PM Netanyahu, and it looked like they had
succeeded when perusing all the pre-election polls ... in fact, they were
supporting the candidate that wanted to split Jerusalem, go back to the 1967
borders, etc, virtually weakening Israel to the point of it's destruction. ...
But then we witnessed Netanyahu's stunning victory, a victory that many didn't
expect , and ultimately will lead to the increasing isolation of the Jewish
state. .. and although those of us who support Israel are breathing a sigh of
relief for obvious reasons, the U.S' current administration is NOT happy. ...
Let's just take a quick look at a few of today's headlines ...
*Times of Israel - "Obama left PM with impression U.S. will abandon
Israel at UN"
*Arutz Sheva - "Diplomat: 'Obama seeking revenge' on
Netanyahu"
*Yahoo News - "White House warns Netanyayu that 'Occupation Must
End' "
*Drudge Report - "U.S. accuses Israel of spying"
There's more, but you get the picture. ...
Let me now quote a few leading Christian
authors and leaders concerning this Israel 'thing' ...
*Carl Gallups - "World events continue to unfold - all centered
around Israel and its right to exist and defend itself - just as the Bible
foretold thousands of years ago."
*Joel Richardson - "In the days ahead, as we draw closer to the
fulfillment of the covenant promises of God to the sons of Israel, the rage of
Satan and the nations will only increase.
What we are seeing now with ISIS & Iran is nothing compared to where
it will go."
*Pastor
Mark Biltz - "I believe God was in total control of the elections
regardless of the outcome. God was
putting in control the one He wanted at the helm of Israel for the perilous
times they are entering."
*Laurie Cardoza-Moore (Special Envoy for Middle Eastern Affairs to the
World Council of Independent Christian Churches) - "What is happening
right now, what is unfolding, is bigger than any world leader is able to
understand. All the strategies of man will
not work against the nation of Israel.
Obama puts all these millions of dollars to use the same kind of
campaign that got him elected to try and unseat PM Netanyahu. It didn't work .. and he will pay a
price."
America's desertion of Israel is apparent,
beyond a doubt. ... So what does that mean for America, as well as the rest of
the world? ... Franklin Graham summed it up quite well when he said this ...
"When nations reject Biblical law, the end is near." (Newsmax - 3/24)
... And he is absolutely right! ... Besides the Zechariah prophecies, there are
many. many more alluding to this fact. ... In my next commentary, I will
specifically address what I believe to be America's role in these end times,
and what her outcome will be.
In the meantime, the 'Birth Pains"
spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 24:8 are here! ... I truly believe we are in the
final moments of the Church Age and spiraling toward the climax of this world
as we have come to know it. ... My prayer for each of you is that you at least
consider what is taking place all around you, and then realize that it is time
to put your 'spiritual house' in order. ...
.... And just remember this ... when one
comes to know Jesus Christ as their Lord & Savior, there is nothing in this
world that can overcome you ... that you can go forward in these perilous times
with absolutely NO FEAR! ...Just remember that God is always in control! ...
Hallelujah!
Until next time,
