Birth Pangs getting closer

Prophecy Update April 12, 2018

A few days ago, Israel attacked and destroyed military hardware in Syria. The base attacked was involved in dropping chemical weapons on people in Damascus. This attack by Israel killed Iranian soldiers. The threats coming from Iran towards Israel were backed up by Russia. Russia also threatened the USA for any attempt of the Americans to intervene. The news reported: “RUSSIA FURIOUS AS ISRAEL LAUNCHES TWIN F-15 JETS FOR PRE-DAWN AIRSTRIKE ON IRANIAN BASE IN SYRIA KILLING 3 IRANIANS” The attack took place hours after US President Donald Trump warned of a “big price to pay” following the reports of a poison gas attack on the rebel-held town of Douma which killed dozens of people, including children. Israel has not confirmed or denied mounting the raid, but Israeli officials said the Tiyas, or T-4, air base was being used by troops from Iran, and that Israel would not accept such a presence in Syria by its arch foe.

According to Arutz Sheva reporting, “ANALYSIS: Russia is aiding Iran Axis prepare for war with Israel. Netanyahu has always said that deployment of the Iranian-backed pro-Assad coalition near the Israeli border, constituted a red line.” Part of the ‘axis of evil’ are the proxy groups that Iran uses to attack Israel. Hezbollah and Hamas are two of those groups who have made it their goal to destroy Israel. Arutz Sheva went on to report: “With all eyes on Israel’s southern front where Hamas is desperately trying to conceal the fact it has run out of military options in its never ending war against the Jewish State, Hezbollah and the pro-Assad axis seem to be gearing up for the long anticipated confrontation with the IDF. The pro-Assad axis, which includes Hezbollah and other Shiite militias, has reportedly deployed tanks and heavy artillery on the Syrian Golan Heights. Some of the weaponry is placed within the demilitarized buffer zone along the Israeli border, a clear violation of the 1974 armistice agreement between Syria and Israel which officially ended the Yom Kippur War.” This is a redline for Israel and so the war has started on the border of Israel.

I was listening to a newscast from TRUNEWS with Rick Wiles and I could not believe my ears. He said, “America is a nuclear armed banana republic.” He said this because of the internal fights in America where we cannot act as a free, united nation anymore. The leaders in Moscow and Beijing do not know who is in charge in America because of the attacks on our government by the press etc. Then he dropped this bombshell, “America and Israel are an aggressor nation that bombed Syria like a hundred times in the last five years. The Israelis are the masterminds behind all of this chaos in the Middle East because they got to take out Iran….and why does Israel want to take out Iran like they took down Libya and Iraq, because it is part of the ancient greater Israel and the Zionists have a master plan to take over the Middle East.” He called all of us who support Israel a sucker, “were being used for a Zionist empire and you are wrong to believe that God has ordained it and blessed it.”
Trunews paints itself as a Christian group that gives you Christian news. Unfortunately, they push some Christian views but they are very anti-Semitic. In a Christian blog I read this from Christians who are confronting Wiles over his beliefs. “Deranged fantasist Rick Wiles took a position you rarely here from the Christian right these days, an anti-Jewish position that God did not create Judaism. In fact, he says the Star of David is a pagan symbol and that modern Jews are really the descendants of the Babylonians.” One blogger said this: Rick Wiles “A Nazi Heart He Does Not Always Hide Well. I’ve been closely watching the enemies of God and Israel work their stealth policy within the Church for some time now and some of the devil’s own just can’t contain themselves when it comes to trashing and blaming Israel for almost everything. Listening to him for some time now he does not show this hatred and rage for any other group on the planet ,not even Moslems get this much rage or attention.”

I have been listening to Rick Wiles for some time now also, he has some very good shows on technology, but every once in a while he would say something about Israel that was shocking to me. I decided to look into him and what he believes and I was disheartened. He singles out Israel as the blame for most everything in the world. This is what the Nazi’s and Russians did to the Jews. Everything was a Zionist conspiracy. This type of teaching is setting up some terrible persecution in this land for Jews. That this stuff is in the church really is horrible. Wiles worked for the Trinity Broadcasting Network and CBN.

My belief in Israel coming back into the land to rule comes from the Bible. God is very clear in the prophets that He would bring the Jews back into the land that He originally gave to Joshua, He will settle them there and they would be in a fight when it happened. When God predicted that the world would be against the Jews coming back into the land, I guess those who are in the church also are included. I call these people replacement theology people. They believe that the church fulfills all the things that Israel was promised and God has abandoned Israel for good, never to come back. Rick Wiles does not believe the prophets and the promise of God. For instance, Jeremiah 31:10 is very clear, “hear the Word of the Lord O nations and declare in the coastlands afar off, and say, He who scattered Israel will gather them and keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.” God is in the process of making that happen. What a blessing to the world to have Israel back in the land.
Now the armies of the world are attacking what God is doing as Rick Wiles attacks. Russia, Iran, Turkey, and Syria are in league to help those who wish to destroy Israel. Iran supports the proxy groups who are getting ready to attack and wipe Israel out. When they attack, Israel will win again. Turkey calls for an army of Islam, to have the purpose of wiping out Israel. Russia is threatening Israel and Iran is setting up for the future Gog Magog war.

I see four biblical wars lining up for fulfillment in the near future.

First is the Psalm 83 war. This war has been going on in one form or another since 1948. It has its fulfillment when the nations surrounding Israel have had enough and attack Israel simultaneously. When that happens, Israel will win and they will not have to deal with all of the tension that now exists. The war is characterized by the desire explained to us in vs.4, “Come let us wipe them out as a nation that the name of Israel will be remembered no more.” Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Organization of Islamic States which includes 51 nations, all vow to annihilate Israel. These nations have tried three times to annihilate Israel and they failed all three times. (1948, 67, 73) The next war will include Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and a host of Islamic groups fitting the description in Ps.83. When the war is over, Israel will finally have her ancient cities back. Cities like Bethlehem, Bethel, Jericho, Hebron, Shiloh, and Jerusalem, will all be controlled by Israel.

Second is the Isaiah 17 war. This war results in the destruction of Damascus. All of the armies now situated in Syria are there to fulfill this prophecy. This week, this prophecy took a big leap forward because America, Britain, and France all vow to attack Syria and destroy Assad and his government in Damascus. Russia and Iran vow to stop these three nations and that spells big trouble for a big war.

Third is the Ezekiel 38-39 war. With Russia and Iran in Syria, this prophecy took a step forward, especially in the last year. In the last year, Iran began setting up shop with the Russians help. Israel said that they will not let Iran set up shop on their border. This is why Israel has been attacking different bases in Syria, to fulfill their goal of driving the Iranians out of Syria. After the Ps.83 war is accomplished the hook in the jaw will be put into Russia’s mouth and God will drag them down to Israel to fight this war.

Fourth is the Zech.12:1-4 war. This war will continue through the Tribulation, because the world is against Israel having sovereignty over the city of Jerusalem. Since 1947 this battle has been fought on many different fronts. The most important front has been the political. Nations have not been able to drive the Jews out of Jerusalem or the land of Israel and this has increased the political pressure. When the wars took place to drive the Jews out, the Jews won those wars. Eventually, this will lead to fulfill all of the prophecies regarding the land of Israel. Jesus will come back and set up His kingdom in Jerusalem and He will rule all of the nations of the world.

As the US, Britain, and France plan to attack Syria in the next few hours or days, the world has made the biggest blunder possible. The UN appointed Syria to head a chemical weapons forum. Syria launches chemical weapons and then the UN appoints Syria to chair the UN Conference on Disarmament, a forum on chemical weapons that will be held next month. We should not be surprised by the UN at anything it does. Calling right wrong and wrong right is the habit of the UN. The Bible says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil who present darkness as light and light darkness who present bitter as sweet and sweet bitter” (Isaiah 5:20)

The world has slid into darkness, but the Lord promised His children in the church that the next thing up is the rapture of the church. We who are looking for the Lords coming are not disheartened. The Lord is accomplishing His Word in the world today. The prophetic rumblings of today lead to the Lord coming back first for His church and then to set up His kingdom on the earth. As Revelation 22:20 says, “He who testifies to these things says, Yes, I am coming quickly. Amen, come Lord Jesus.” You can read my updates on prophecy4i.wordpress.com

About Joe

We live in the last days and the Bible commands us to watch for the Lord’s coming. I have a keen interest in history, prophecy and current events. I read widely about political and military developments and write a weekly blog from the things I follow. My special interest is in Middle Eastern affairs.

Since I was in college, I have also studied how God judges nations. It all started in Buck Hatches’ class at Columbia Bible College in 1979.

I fell in love with God’s word and especially the prophets. The results of this interest led me to writing The ‘I’ Judgements: Four Sins that Bring about the Fall of Nations. It serves as a warning to the United States, showing biblically of what we need to repent.
