I give thanks and glory to GOD
The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit as I share with you on the nation of
Israel. May the grace of the LORD be with you as you read through to the end.
The book of Genesis
chapter 12:2-3 states as follows: “I will make you
into a great nation and I will bless you: I will make your name great and you
will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I
will curse; and all people on earth will be blessed through you.”
The above was a decree that
The LORD God Almighty (Abba Father) made to Abraham when he called him. This
decree/declaration was not only to Abraham but also to his descendants. The
question is: who are they (The descendants)?
In the book of Genesis
Chapter 15:13-14 which states “Know for certain that
your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and they will be
enslaved and ill treated four hundred years. But I will punish the nation they
serve as slaves, and afterwards they will come out with great possessions. You
however will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good Old age. In
the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the
Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”
The above prophesy was passed
to Abraham by God The Father regarding the slavery of his descendants in the
strange Land of Egypt and their eventual exodus away from Egypt to the promised
Land. This prophesy eventual came to pass when Moses led them in the Exodus,
and they eventually reached the Land that God promised them through Abraham.
In the book of Genesis
Chapter 15:18-21 which states: “On that day the LORD made
a covenant with Abram and said ‘To your descendants I give this Land from the
river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates-the land of the Kenites,
Kenizzites, Kadmonites, Hittites, Perrizzites,
Raphaites,Amorites,Canaanites,Girgashites and Jebusites’.”
The above covenant was the
covenant that God The Father made with Abraham and his descendants regarding
the Holy Land he was giving them, whose description He made very clear.
The descendants that God The
Father was referring to were the descendants that would come through
the son Abraham would bore with Sarah: Isaac. Isaac would later bore
other sons including Jacob (Also known as Israel). This was made clear In
Genesis 21:11-13 which states: “The matter
distressed Abraham greatly because it concerned his son (Ishmael). But God said
to him,’ Do not be so distressed about the boy (Ishmael) and your maidservant
(Haggai). Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that
your offspring will be reckoned. I will make the son of the maidservant into a
nation also, because he is your offspring.”
This offspring that God told
Abraham would be reckoned was the nation of Israel. And so the Nation Israel
was chosen by God The Father and the LORD promised Abraham that he (Abraham)
would be a father of many nations and that through Israel, God was going to
bless all the other nations of the Earth. So the nation of Israel was and is
still is as at today a chosen nation; whoever blesses them will be blessed by
God The Father and whoever curses them will be cursed by God the Father. God
the Father never forgets the covenants He makes even though man may forget or
try to manipulate such covenants made by God.
After the Israelites were
rescued from Egypt and then later on taken to the promised the Land, they
rebelled against God The Father and started worshiping Idols and doing
detestable things against God The Father and so In Ezekiel 20:23-26 we
find it stated as follows:“Also with uplifted hand I swore to them in
the desert that I would disperse them among the nations and scatter them
through the countries, because they had not obeyed my laws but has rejected my
decrees and desecrated my Sabbaths and their eyes, lusted, after their fathers’
idols. I also gave them over to statutes that were not good and laws they could
not live by; I let them become defiled through their gifts-the sacrifice of
every firstborn-that I might fill them with horror so that they would know that
I am the LORD”
Even though God The Father had
brought the Israelites from Egypt to the promised land, He was now declaring
that due to their disobedience and rebellion he was now going to disperse and
scatter them among the nations and countries. This came to pass in the 1st Century
when the Roman Empire defeated the nation of Judea, destroyed its Holy Temple
in Jerusalem and exiled hundreds of thousands of Jews (Israelites). They were
scattered to various countries of the world including Russia, Poland, Germany,
Romania, Austria etc. And infact one of the main passions of Adolf Hitler
during world war 11 was the massacre and persecution of the Jews (Israelites)
who by then were exiled and scattered all over many nations/countries.
However, despite their
rebellion and disobedience, Israel being a chosen nation of God, a nation with
whom God The Father made a covenant, The LORD promised to gather them from the
nations and countries where they had been dispersed/scattered.
So in Ezekiel
20:33-35 we find The LORD declaring as follows: “As
surely as I live, declares the sovereign LORD, I will rule over you with a
mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath. I will bring you
from the nations and gather you from the countries where you have been
scattered-with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath.
I will bring you into the desert of nations and there, face to face, I will
execute judgment upon you.”
So in the year 1948, a
very significant, historical and fulfillment of a biblical prophecy occurred
when there was the rebirth of the nation of Israel.
Actually the countdown to the
coming of the messiah Jesus Christ through Rapture to rescue the Repentant,
Righteous Souls living in Holiness started in earnest then. This is because the
coming of the messiah for the Rapture is actually centered around the
events happening/to happen in the nation of Israel. Furthermore, when
Jesus Christ will be coming with the saints who had been raptured 7 years
earlier at the end of the Great Tribulation, He will be coming
directly into Jerusalem in Israel from where he will reign on the
earth for a period of 1,000 years.
Glory be to the LORD Jesus
Christ as I now bring to your attention a very historical, significant and a
fulfillment of the bible prophesy that started happening on the 20th September
2011 when Palestinian formally submitted their statehood bid to the UN Security
council. An event that was prophesied by Prophet Zechariah and Prophet
David. This event was of a very significant proportion with regard
to the Rapture of the Repentant souls and will culminate
eventually to the events that will usher in the Great Tribulation. The LORD
Jesus Christ has confirmed that the Rapture is now extremely very
close and imminent and He requires the people of the earth to prepare in
Absolute Complete Surrender to him by Repentance (of
their sins of the ones they know of and of the ones they may not know of for
the bible says all have fallen short of glory and that if we say we don’t have
any sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us), Righteousness and Absolute
Holiness.
But remember nobody
knows the hour or the day and so it can be seconds, minutes, weeks or months
from now. The LORD Jesus Christ is in essence passing a
very clear message that we should not concern ourselves with when
the Rapture will take place but that the people of the earth should totally
focus on Him in Repentance, Righteousness and Holiness since His coming in now
imminent. (We are now actually at Injury time).
Back to the event that started
happening on the 20th September 2011, Israel and
Palestinian Authority have been having historical desolation/ anguish/ misery/
Unhappiness since the establishment of the nation of Israel in 1948. The
nations of the earth have been debating under the banner of United Nations (UN)
and the critical agenda under discussion has been the recognition of
the statehood of Palestinian. And going by the reality on the ground, most
countries of the world have declared that they are in favour of a Palestinian
statehood against Israel. Even though the bid failed since
Palestinian could not master a single country to ensure they got 9 votes at the
Security Council which would have forced a vote. The USA threatened to veto the
bid. However whether the vote succeeded or not the ground has been set and lines
are clearly drawn going by the events involving these countries: USA’ Russia,
Iran, Israel, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, China etc
Furthermore, most
countries are pushing Israel to accept the Pre-1967 border line (which will
mean that Israel relinquish West bank, Gaza and the Historical and biblical
Judea and Samaria areas). And furthermore the Palestinian Authority
wants Jerusalem to be split into two so that East Jerusalem becomes
part of The Palestinian state as its capital city plus other major areas of Israel.
And furthermore most Middle East nations are against Israel, Infact the Iran
regime have declared several times that “Israel should be wiped out of the face
of the world map”. Hamas, the majority party in Palestinian Parliament
does not recognize the right of Israel to exist. Recently Palestinian President
Mahamoud Abbas signed a memorandum of understanding with the Hamas leadership.
The problem comes from
dividing the Holy Land of Israel; based not on what God The Father decrees but
based on what man (the nations of the Earth decides).
Israel being a chosen nation and God the Father declaring that “If
you bless Israel I will bless you; If you curse Israel I will curse you”.
God the Father is essentially passing the message to the People of the Earth
that they should touch His Holy land at their own risks. That
if they touch His Holy Land, He is going to pour His wrath on the nations of
the earth who go against His Holy Land. This is actually going
to culminate into The Great Tribulation.
Below are the prophesies given
through Servants of God: King David and Zechariah in the Bible about events
just about to happen concerning The Nations of Earth Vs the nation
of Israel
Zechariah 12:1-9 which
states: "This is the word of the LORD concerning Israel. The
LORD who stretches the earth and who forms the spirit of man within him
declares: I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding
peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when
the 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. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its
rider with madness, declares the LORD. I will keep a watchful eye over the
house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. Then the
leaders of Judah will say in their hearts. ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong,
because the LORD Almighty is their God.’ On that day, I will make the Leaders of
Judah like a brazier in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They
will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will
remain intact in her place. The LORD will save the dwellings of Judah first, so
that the honour of the house of David and of Jerusalem’s inhabitants may not be
greater than that of Judah. On that day the LORD will shield those who live in
Jerusalem, so that the feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of
David will be like God, like the Angel of the LORD going before them. On that
day I will set to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem."
Psalm 83 which
states: ""O God do not keep silent; be not quiet God, be not
still. See how your enemies are astir, how your foes rear their heads. With
cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish.
“Come” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be
remembered no more.” With one mind they plot together; they form an alliance
against you-the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, of Moab and the Hagrites,
Gebal, Ammon and Amalek, Philistia, with the people of Tyre. Even Assyria has
joined them to lend strength to the descendants of Lot. Do to them as you did
to Midian, as you did to Sisera and Jabinta the river Kishon, who perished at
Endor and became like refuse on the ground. Make their nobles like Oreb and
Zeeb, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna, who said “Let us take
possession of the pasture-lands of God.”Make them like tumble-weed, O my God,
like chaff before the wind. As fire consumes the forest or a flame sets the
mountains ablaze, so pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your
storm. Cover their faces with shame so that men will seek your name LORD. May
they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace. Let them know
that you, whose name is the LORD-that you alone are the Most High over all the
Earth.""
