Prophecy Update: For Such a Time as This!
In this update, I would like to focus on the Feast of Purim. The Feast of Purim comes from the book of Esther. The book highlights the providence of God in protecting the Jews from the evil leader Haman. Haman is a type of antichrist. When God protected the nation of Israel during the time of Esther, God set a pattern of what He will do in subsequent generations. Here is an example from the Soviet Union.
“Stalin and the Purim Miracle. The death and downfall of Stalin is an example of a miraculous, yet untold, modern day Purim story. Joseph Stalin, tyrant of communist Russia dubbed the invincible “man of steel,” who murdered approximately 20,000,000 of his own people, was particularly hateful toward the Jews. In 1947, he targeted thousands of Jewish scientists, politicians, and intellectuals who were dismissed from their positions, humiliated, arrested, and tortured. After spreading his toxic rumors about Jews to the public, Stalin carried on with his plans to eliminate Russia’s two to four million Jews, by deporting them to the freezing, uninhabitable regions of Russia and leaving them to die of starvation, hypothermia, and disease. Newly discovered documents proved that in the February of 1953, Stalin commissioned the construction of four camps in Kazakhstan, Siberia and in the Arctic North. A week before the Purim of 1953…In train stations all over Russia, train cars were being requisitioned to carry huge caravans of Jews into exile and slow death. Reliable sources confirmed that the expulsion would begin on the sixth of March, just a few days after Purim. That Purim night, Stalin was said to have “collapsed in a fit of rage” during a meeting in which his supporters expressed opposition to his evil plan, according to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. That Purim, thousands of Jewish prisoners were freed. Joseph Stalin died on March 5, just a few days later, to the great relief of Russian Jewry.” aish.com
Stalin was the atheistic leader of the Soviet Union, he did not believe in God or that God could deliver the Jews from his hand. Stalin found out that God is real and He is committed to defend His people and bring them back to the land of Israel. Stalin died in 1953 only five years after the reestablishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The desire to destroy Israel did not stop after the holocaust. We see today that antisemitism and the destruction of Israel is the desire of many groups and nations. These groups and nations should remember Purim.
Although Purim rituals are often lighthearted, the story of the holiday offers serious messages about antisemitism and identity that have resonated during more recent chapters of Jewish history, including the Holocaust and the persecution of Jews in the Soviet Union. mjhnyc.org
Israel is attacked almost daily, but the nation is so well protected that the press barely reports how many times the IDF foils the plans of the Haman’s of our day. Threats from Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi’s and Iran are daily occurrences. Here is an example of Israel foiling an attack.
“IDF thwarts naval activity that posed threat to Navy. According to Ynet, a Gazan boat was sunk by the IDF after it neared a Navy vessel. No Palestinians were apparently injured in the incident. According to Maariv, The Jerusalem Post’s sister publication, it’s likely that the destroyed vessel belonged to Hamas. jpost.com
The new American administration dedicated itself to helping Iran gain strength so they can dominate Israel and drive her into the sea. Do not believe what the talking heads say, they promote the fiction that you can be for an Iranian peace plan and still protect Israel. Iran dedicated itself to destroying Israel and the proponents of the false peace plan ignore that fact.
“Biden administration to fund UN agency that teaches that Israel is evil. The United Nations Relief & Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, an agency that’s supposed to provide health, education and social services to select populations, has been just caught — again — pushing through schools via online and study-at-home materials that Israel is basically the devil. This is the agency President Donald Trump refused to fund. This is the agency President Joe Biden wants to resume funding.” washingtontimes.com
I am going to be interacting with the next quote from Jim Fletcher which he published on Feb.21st. I will provide the link at the end.
“For 20 years, I advocated for Israel, through networking, publishing, research, and writing. I was very committed to what I called helping protect Israelis physically. I considered that trying to keep fiendish forces—including Westerners in suits—helped this endeavor. For many of those years, I harbored a dream of really having an impact in the church, particularly the American Church. I had studied history and knew how corrupted our seminaries and large churches were by the turn of the 21st century. In all this, the wonderful teaching about the Jews’ role in history has been so watered down that it is like a blob of jelly on a table. There’s nothing there.”
This has been my experience. I have found that it is not only Jews who are threatened but also Christians who support the Jews. The false church attacks the True Church. The culture threatens the True Church as they threaten Jews and Israel.
“This week, Joe Biden finally called Bibi Netanyahu, after weeks of speculation about the snub. People are trying to figure out what that means for the U.S.-Israel relationship. First, Netanyahu has known Biden for decades. He knows exactly what he’s dealing with. A combat veteran, I doubt Bibi was apoplectic over the snub from the criminal Biden. He knows who Biden is. He knows that the Obama-Biden Administration tried to kill him politically through foreign intervention in Israeli elections. I lose no sleep in Israel’s ability to survive the illegitimate “presidency” of Biden. Israel is also concerned about the Biden pledge to rejoin the wholly insane Iran “nuclear deal.”
Biden calling Netanyahu is like a five year old calling a professional football player and trying to tell him how to play the game. Netanyahu is not swayed by the lies of this administration about Israel. Israel is preparing for war because of what the Biden administration has decided to do.
“When seminaries were teaching pastors to hide the fact that they’d been taught that the Exodus was myth (this was 70 and more years ago!), it was all over then. There is no real possibility that today’s Millennials trained at Wheaton and Fuller Seminary will ever be anything but advocates for the Palestinians and their totalitarian friends. They believe Israel is the villain. This, incidentally, is what eventually destroyed Germany. Luther’s rants against the Jews poisoned the churches and by the time the Nazis came to power, the whole country had been marinating in Jew hate for 200 years. The so-called German “Higher Criticism” began teaching that the Old Testament is largely myth. I cannot emphasize enough how harmful this has been to Western society.” raptureready.com
False doctrine regarding the Old Testament compromised the churches response to today’s challenges. I use to trust certain denominations and organizations. Many of those groups are no longer trustworthy. They are compromised biblically, advocating for anti-Semitic, anti-Bible, and anti-evangelical positions. The pro-Israel, Zionist Christian position is the minority position among so-called evangelicals. When Israel finally attacks Iran, we will hear from many in the false church blaming the Jews. If you want a reason to attack Iran here it is….
“Khamenei: If we wanted nukes, nobody, including ‘Zionist clown,’ could stop us. Iran’s leader also warns it may enrich uranium to 60%, as it steps further away from nuclear deal; top US diplomat says DC willing to reenter pact if Tehran in ‘strict compliance.’ Iranian Supreme Leader Ayotallah Ali Khamenei claimed Monday that his country has no interest in a nuclear weapon, but said that if it wanted one, no one — including Israel — could prevent it. Khamanei also said Iran could increase uranium enrichment to 60 percent, in the latest sign of the Islamic Republic stepping away from the 2015 nuclear deal, as the Biden administration seeks to revive the accord rejected by former US president Donald Trump.” timesofisrael.com
When Khamanei says he has no interest in a nuclear weapon, he is lying. He wrote a book about nuking Israel. This is why it is so dangerous for the Biden Administration to put their chips in with the Iranians.
“John Kerry ‘colluded’ with Iran to undermine Trump, report says. Report from 2018 said Kerry engaged in ‘shadow diplomacy’ to save Iran deal. Biden administration officials, including John Kerry and Robert Malley, had meetings with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif during the Trump administration that were orchestrated to undermine President Biden’s predecessor, a recent report from The Washington Times claims. Zarif held meetings with Obama administration veterans who could return to power “to devise a political strategy to undermine the Trump administration” and usher in softer diplomacy between the U.S. and Iran, according to an unnamed former senior U.S. official cited by The Washington Times.” foxnews.com
John Kerry and Robert Malley committed a crime for which they will never be held accountable. We live in a lawless society that has one standard for Democrats and another for everyone else. God has a plan to protect Israel to the end. On the day Jesus comes back, the nation of Israel will still stand and antichrist will fail. Here is an example from Nazi Germany…
“PURIM in the 1940s: Soon after coming to power, Hitler quickly banned the celebration of Jewish festivals including Purim. In a speech delivered the day after Kristallnacht, in November 1938, Julius Streicher (1885-1946), Hitler’s“Director of the Central Committee for the Defense against Jewish Atrocity and Boycott Propaganda” declared that since the Jews killed 75,000 Persians in the days of Esther, the same fate could befall the German people and so the Jews had to be stopped. Streicher was convicted of “crimes against humanity” and sentenced to death. The Nuremberg military tribunal declared, “Streicher’s incitement of murder and extermination at the time when Jews in the East were being killed under the most horrible conditions clearly constitutes persecution on political and racial grounds in connection with war crimes as defined by the Charter, and constitutes a crime against humanity. Again, the “curse-for-a-curse” biblical principle was applied to Streicher, who, on October 16, 1946, was executed on the gallows at the end of the Nuremberg Trials. Streicher’s final words before he was let down into the gallows trap door was “Purim Fest 1946”, as his final claim that the Jews were out to get him. It would have required a certain knowledge of the Jewish lifestyle and festivals for Streicher to even make that parallel.” newantisemitism.com
History teaches us that the Purim promise will be repeated over and over again. God protects His promise to bring Israel back to the land. That means they need to survive when they are scattered across the globe. Satan is attacking the Jews by limiting the land that they can come back to. This article is about that:
“AHLC chair: End Israeli-Palestinian conflict with land for peace formula. The formula of “land for peace” must be revived to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Norwegian Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide said as she called for renewed efforts for peace through the creation of two-states. She spoke at the end of a virtual international meeting to facilitate donor funding for the Palestinians, known as the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC), which last convened in June.” jpost.com
The World Council of Churches, National Council of Churches, United Nations, European Union, and Biden Administration all agree that Israel must leave her own land and capitol city. Look forward to the Biden Administration to push land for peace deals. That means others get the land and Israel gets war!
“The Israel-Lebanon border could become battleground over Iran’s nuclear program. For the last several years, few American or international media outlets have given much attention to the growing threat posed by Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed terrorist force in Lebanon. That’s a mistake. As I reported yesterday, a “war of words” is underway between Hezbollah terror chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah and Israel’s most senior defense leadership. The threats and counter-threats are flowing fast and furious – and it could all quickly degenerate turn into a Third Lebanon War.” allisrael.com
“NBC faces Jewish community furor over ‘dangerous, pernicious’ attack on Orthodox Jews in show. NBC is facing broad condemnation from top Jewish organizations, for a scene in the television show “Nurses” that features an Orthodox Jewish character who refuses a bone graft because it might have come from “goyim” — a Yiddish word for non-Jews — an Arab or a woman. In one scene NBC has insulted and demonized religious Jews and Judaism,” he said. “Orthodox Jews are targeted for violent hate crimes in the city of New York [and] Jews are [the] number one target of hate crimes in US. This is no slip of the tongue. It was a vile cheap attack masquerading as TV drama. What’s NBC going to do about it?” unitedwithisrael.org
As the antisemitism has grown in the USA, it has also grown in Russia. I believe that Russia is still a great threat to the USA and especially since they are cooperating with China against us. Here is an article about Russian military doctrine:
“Combined-arms cyber warfare, as described in the military doctrines of Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, may use combinations of cyber-, sabotage-, and ultimately nuclear EMP-attack to impair the United States quickly and decisively by blacking-out large portions of the electric grid and other critical infrastructures…The synergism of such combined arms is described in the military doctrines of all these potential adversaries as the greatest revolution in military affairs in history—one which projects rendering obsolete many, if not all, traditional instruments of military power.” Is it significant that the protracted 9-months attack on the U.S. in the cyber-domain preceded and coincides with Russia’s major strategic forces exercise on December 9, 2020, wherein dictator Vladimir Putin personally oversaw launching ICBMs, SLBMs, and cruise missiles, simulating a nuclear war against the United States? worldviewweekend.com
God will not be mocked, He will protect His church and Israel. All that the prophets have written will come true. We live in the most interesting times, I am glad for books like the book of Esther. It strengthens my faith to know that God does not stop working on behalf of His people!
