Edition 526: June 16^th 2020.

Israel’s victory:

Introduction:

These are the words of life!

You can’t defeat God. You’re a big fool if you think you can. One of the powerful prophecies of the Bible verifying its truth is that man as God’s enemy will be defeated by God!

There is a clear common denominator running through all the craziness of the world right now. It is man backed by Satan rebelling against all things that are of God and His authority structures.

All these things collectively are encapsulated in end-time Bible prophecy. Plagues, pestilence, famine, ethnic conflict, earth’s upheavals, and wars are the players on the stage of the greatest drama of all time.

Israel, Jerusalem, the Jews, and the Mount are the real big signs of the time.

I’m publishing this edition, prophetically, ahead of Israel’s events breaking onto the stage.

Modern man, with the pride of Lucifer, is arising against God and His plan for the close of the age. It all culminates in Israel, where it began.

Man, dressed like a Pharaoh, a Herod, a Hitler is about to see his defeat while Israel sees her greatest victory, in spite of temporary disasters like the Holocaust.

Here is God’s reply to the Holocaust and the coming Holocaust. It is His Holocaust on His enemies:

Psalm 21:8-12 “Your hand will find all Your enemies; Your right hand will find those who hate You. You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of Your anger; The Lord shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the fire shall devour them. Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth...They intended evil against You and devised a plot, which they were not able to perform. You will make them turn their back and make them ready for arrows.”

This pattern of defeat to victory is also seen in the church. She was born to be victorious, was almost totally defeated in her ‘Holocaust’ - the dark ages, and is now at the door of her greatest victory.

Israel and the church both stand at the edge of glory, and the world - on the verge of hell. The wise would do well to take heed.

The pattern revealed for both Israel and the church, is a most exciting revelation but many, to their own detriment, are not even vaguely aware of it. And many are in vicious opposition to it, motivated by spirits they can’t see, sitting invisibly on their back like a rabid monkey.

Knowing what’s going on behind the scenes is very important, because it is the anchor of our faith and hope while the world is spiralling into a deadly satanic spin – out of control and without hope.

If you are ignorant of prophecy in this day, you are on thin ice and gambling against immeasurable odds.

These things should create in you an excitement, a thrill, and a passion for our Lord and His word.

Israel emerges from the shadows:

Since the Covid plague, and worldwide riots and insurrections, Israel has been off centre stage. But all these prophetic events that we have been seeing are amalgamating, consolidating and converging. They are about manifest in Israel.

It will all culminate on this grand stage of God’s choosing, with the grand stands full of cheering supporters, as well as chanting haters of God - lovers of the god of the world.

If we are seeing many forerunners to the tribulation period, be very sure that the greatest end-time sign of all – Israel’s spiritual awakening, is going to step into the crosshairs of attack form the devil. You need to know where you stand and why, so that you can stand securely in the coming on times.

Israel, the Jews, Jerusalem, and the Temple Mount.

When I talk of Israel, I am generally referring to all of the above, collectively, except where obvious.

In 1967 Life Magazine brought out a special edition entitled, “Israel’s swift victory.” It was about the surprising, God –assisted, miraculous victory of Israel in reclaiming Jerusalem in the Six Day War.

There is one larger than life issue here. The world will be swiftly and suddenly defeated as it tries to overthrow God’s plans. This has been a repeating pattern!

As you read the following verses please note their consistency and their total ignoring of the opinions of man, the Palestinians or democracy. Note also that it is Satan who opposes God’s choice of Jerusalem, Israel and the Jews.

Isaiah 56:5 “...I will give them (Israel) an everlasting name that they should not be cut off.”

Amos 9:15 “I will plant them (Jews) in their land, and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them, says the Lord God.”

1 Chronicles 21:1 “Now Satan stood up against Israel...”

Psalm 125:3 “The sceptre of wickedness (Islam) will not rest on the land allotted to the righteous.”

Isaiah 14:5 “The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers.”

Zechariah 3:2 “The Lord said to Satan, the Lord rebuke you Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you.”

2 Chronicles 33:4 “...The Lord said, My name shall be in Jerusalem forever.”

These verses above (and many more like them) are a major thorn in the side of modern man’s plans for Israel and will be the cause of big trouble coming soon – very soon. It is fermenting now.

Frenzied rage, uproar and tumult will erupt from rioting, marauding masses who have chosen the Palestinians as owners of the land and city, above God’s choice.

The sovereignty of Judah and Samaria:

Joel 3:20 “Judah shall abide forever and Jerusalem from generation to generation.”

Zechariah 2:12 “The Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land and will again choose Jerusalem.”

The so-called West Bank is original Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley. It is central to the Palestinians. This area plus Gaza incorporates the great majority of Palestinian, Muslim residents.  Various nations in the past divided up the land of Israel to create these Palestinian areas.

Judah and Samaria were the result of dividing Israel up under the British Mandate, and claimed by Jordan. The area includes East Jerusalem. The famous Six Day War saw Israel reclaim Jerusalem, but not all of Judah and Samaria.

The original land was never Palestinian. In fact, technically speaking there are no Palestinian people. They are a recently created political entity made up mostly of Arabs from surrounding nations.

Now the time has come for Israel to claim sovereignty these lands and return them to their original, rightful owners - Israel.

The sovereignty is what we would call, dividing the land back to Israel! It is the Palestinians and their sponsors, the world, that want to undo the end result of the Six Day War!

If the sovereignty process goes ahead, it will deal a death blow to the Palestinians and their aspirations for a Palestinian state, within Israel.

It will cause war and upheaval. It will cause many of the nations of the world to throw a blind temper tantrum, full of fury and anger. They will of course, unknowingly be throwing their tantrum at God.

I once wrote an article entitled “How to be incredibly stupid!” It fits the bill!

The Palestinians want to decrease Israel’s territory, by subverting it for themselves. But this is what God says:

Isaiah 26:15 “You have increased the nation, O Lord; You are glorified; You have expanded all the borders of the land.”

Zechariah 1:16 “I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; ’My house shall be built in it,’ says the Lord of hosts, and a surveyors line shall be stretched over Jerusalem.”

Deuteronomy 27:17 “Cursed is the one who moves his neighbour’s landmark. And all the people shall say Amen,”

It is the Palestinians who are the occupiers of God’s city.

Nehemiah 2:20 “ The God of heaven Himself will prosper us, therefore we His servants (Israel) will arise and build, but you (Arabs) have no right or memorial or inheritance in Jerusalem.”

Keep a close eye on this. Israel will be victorious again, even though it may lead to war at first. It just may be part of the reason for the soon coming peace treaty, releasing the antichrist.

Prophetically, this is next on the stage. The annexation process is due to begin on 1^st July. Because of the controversy around it, it may be delayed, but I hope you see that this is yet another great end-time piece of the puzzle falling into place now.

Israel will be the light of the world:

The Temple Menorah, made of pure gold was a miraculous. Its light never went out. The light of the menorah symbolises the Light of the world and also the fact that Israel will be the light of the world in the tribulation period.

The central lamp of the menorah is called “the light of God” (2 Samuel 22:29)

Psalm 104:1-2 “O Lord my God, You are very great, You are clothed with honour and majesty, You cover Yourself with light as with a garment, who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.”

Ezekiel 20:41-42 “I will accept you (Jews) as a sweet smelling aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I lifted My hand in an oath to your fathers.”

World beware! The light that is the church will soon be gone in a flash and then you will be in deep darkness. Israel will then be the light, but because of the depth of your darkness, O world, you may not see it or find it!

John 12:35 “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. He who walks in darkness does not know where he is going.”

John 9:4 “I must work the works of Him who sent Me, while it is day, for the night is coming when no one can work.”

Amos 8:11-12 “The days are coming says he Lord, that I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor of thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from sea to sea, from north to east and shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord, but shall not find it.”

I strongly suggest you don’t gamble your life with these three verses above!!

It’s not very clever to gamble against God and His word. Ask Israel about that. They did many times and paid the price. Have they learnt the lesson yet? The answer is tragically – no. They will soon make a tragic peace covenant, against God’s will.

Exodus 23:32-33 “You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me...”

Isaiah 28:15-18 “We (Israel) have made a covenant with death (the coming peace treaty) and with hell we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge (tribulation) passes through, it will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge...Your covenant with death will be annulled and your agreement with hell will not stand; when the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it.”

Here we see Israel thinking she can escape the tribulation by making a covenant with the antichrist.

But defeat turns to victory.

The following verse is part of a discourse to Israel, but it applies equally to the church:

Romans 16:19-20 “Your obedience has become known to all, therefore I am glad on your behalf, but I want you to be wise in what is good and simple concerning evil, and the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly...”

Israel now:

The world in its ‘intellectual’ spiritual ignorance wants Israel to become part of its satanic group of nations. That will make Israel as one-state Islamic, just from the numbers.

There is an easy way to get rid of Israel and exalt the Palestinians – Just get rid of God and His word, which is exactly what the world is doing right now.

Ministers of the gospel, if you take Israel of God out of your teaching, you will become world focussed and full of error. That always happens – always, always!

Be sure of this. When you remove large parts of the gospel, you do replace it with your own self-authorised garbage, whether you know it not!

Jew hatred is God hatred in a nutshell. Israel was created by God. The Palestinian nation is a creation of the world and its media. It is a Trojan vehicle to attack God.

It’s not the US, UK, EU, Rome, the Palestinians or any others that will decide on Israel. God has!

Its Israel and Jerusalem of God or Babylon and Rome of man!

How many times have you heard the accusation from anti-Semites that the Jews want to dominate the world, that’s why we hate them?

Anti-Semitism is essentially about stopping the Jews from dominating the world. Guess what? The Jews will dominate the world!! God said so.

The Jews will dominate the world in the Millennium, so says a dozen scriptures! The Jews will be the chief evangelists of the tribulation period too.

Today so many churches are stone dead to the prophetic word (one third of the Bible is prophecy). They are as ignorant as a rat on Israel and the Middle East in prophecy. The result is they are spineless with a sickly sweet gospel in tune with the word-system, materialism and all the opinions of man.

How many times have you heard churches proclaim to church member that God is looking for someone to stand in the gap and pray, or give money or bake cookies. But read the verse and note what it says and to whom!

Ezekiel 22:30 “I sought for a man among them, who would make up a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land (Israel), that I should not destroy it, but I found no one. Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them with fire and wrath...”

This verse means that churches with no Israel vision or support, are part of the very reason for the coming tribulation period. Thankfully, today many churches are standing in the gap for Israel, but a great many are spineless sell-outs.

Where is the USA in prophecy?

I have written a lot on this showing that the US is in many prophecies hidden under symbolically appropriate names. But rather than rehash all of those, there is one very big and important principle showing exactly where the US is in prophecy.

This accounts for any nation that fits the bill. All nations that are a friend of Israel and bless Israel carry on without being destroyed. (Genesis 12:3) Towards the end of the tribulation period the US and others may well turn against Israel, but as long as they remain friends of Israel, they have the “key of David” and will endure. (Revelation 3:7)

If the liberal left can break US support for Israel, then be sure that US is in prophecy – gone with the wind!

If not, the US is in prophecy – blessed! (Even through the current upheavals.)

So far President Trump has recognised Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The area given to the Palestinians is not officially part of Jerusalem. It is an area east of East Jerusalem.) He has moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem and declared Israeli sovereignty over Golan He has declared that Jews have legal right to Judea and Samaria. (Numbers 33:53)

Finally

All the current troubles are about to manifest in Israel. These will be the final sign before the great, grand culmination of prophecy and the most magnificent, spectacular victory of all victories.

If you are in tune with our Lord, this will give you great zeal, zest and fervour for the kingdom of our Lord. And know that you, brother and sister, have been chosen to be a shining star in eternity.

I took these pictures at a waterhole in Etosha, Namibia. I lightened the background picture and superimposed the foreground zebras over it.

Shalom and grow in His Grace!
