Prophecy Update: Aug.3, 2018
The motivation for most of the conflicts in the world today can be traced back to the work God is doing regarding Israel. The news outlets do not have a spiritual and biblical lens by which to interpret the world so they see the world through secular eyes. Satan is pushing the nations towards conflicts and his most important conflict is the one regarding Israel. He hopes that he can destroy Israel and all of his attempts have failed. He failed in Egypt when God raised up Moses, he failed with Haman in Persia, he failed in WW2 with the holocaust, and he failed with four major wars against Israel in the 20th century. Israel won all four wars and Satan changed tactics. Now he uses terrorists and Iran to fuel war against Israel and it too will fail. The outcome of the failure will be the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem.
The past four wars against Israel were all Arab/Muslim states and took place in 1948, 56, 67, and 73. All of those wars were backed by the Russians, called the Soviet Union at the time. Since then, Satan has massaged anti-Semitism among Europeans who are trying to find a way to do Satan’s will. Many politicians in Europe are against the Jewish state and finding ways to back those who wish to destroy Israel. The next big war will include Russia and Iran as prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39. Teaser: all of Europe and NATO are worried about Russia, the Middle East is worried about Russia, America is worried and obsessed about the Russian Bear, you think Satan has people scared yet?
What has God been doing to accomplish His will regarding Israel? He has been establishing Jerusalem and solidifying the work to bring back the rest of the exiles. One thing needs to be made clear to the world, God wants to bring back the Jews to His Land and give it to Jews so that it can be a Jewish state. Another step in that process took place this past week when Israel passed the Basis Law regarding Israel.
PUBLISHED: 08:30 EDT, 29 July 2018 Daily Mail: Netanyahu defends controversial Jewish nation law –The new legislation speaks of Israel as the historic homeland of the Jews and says they have a “unique” right to self-determination there. Here is a portion of the bill:
1. The State of Israel
a) Israel is the historic homeland of the Jewish people in which the State of Israel was established.
b) The state of Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people, in which it fulfills its natural, religious, and historic right to self-determination.
c) The fulfillment of the right of national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people.
5. The state will be open to Jewish immigration and to the gathering of the exiled.
7. The state views Jewish settlement as a national value and will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.
“A hundred and twenty-two years after [the founder of modern Zionism Theodore] Herzl made his vision known, with this law we determined the founding principle of our existence,” Benjamin Netanyahu said. It is so exciting to see that God is fulfilling His Word to us in our day. Amos 9:14-15 says, “Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit. “I will also plant them on their land, And they will not again be rooted out from their land Which I have given them,” Says the LORD your God.” It is God who is planting them in the land and it is God who will keep them there. No one will be able to push them out. Wars will come and Satan will lose all of them including Armageddon!
What was the response of the world to Israel’s new law? EU condemns Israel’s new nationality law, Egypt Slams Israel’s Jewish Nation-state Law, Foreign Policy had this to say: But most dangerous of all is the stipulation that “the state views Jewish settlement as a national value and will labor to encourage and promote its establishment and development.” This is the world coming against what God is doing, they see a Jewish State as racist, evil. It goes against all that the New World Order stands for. This will be used by Satan to increase war and Russia will be at the heart of much of it.
Syria: The President of Syria, Bashir Assad, has fought a civil war for the last 7 years in his country. Seven years ago, many felt that Assad would lose the war. The President of the USA at the time, Barack Obama said that Assad had to go. Assad has survived this civil war because of the help of Russia and Iran. As the war winds down, a newspaper in Lebanon had this headline: ‘Back to the Status Quo’ and the article said that things are going back to the way they were before 2011 when the war started. Assad has promised another massacre in the Idlib province to finish off the rebels in his country. The Kurds hold part of Syria in the north and the Idlib province is also in the north on the border with Turkey. Russia and Iran are entrenched in Syria and will leave when God destroys them in the Gog-Magog war!
Jerusalem Post had this article on Monday 7/30, “AS U.S. PUSHES FOR MIDEAST PEACE, SAUDI KING REASSURES ALLIES: Saudi Arabia has reassured Arab allies it will not endorse any Middle East peace plan that fails to address Jerusalem’s status or refugees’ right of return, easing their concerns that the kingdom might back a nascent US deal which aligns with Israel on key issues.” This is another example of Jerusalem being a millstone around the neck of the Nations!
Most of the NATO nations have turned on the Jews accept the USA and God is cursing NATO with the threat of Russian invasion. Gratefully, some European Nations have stood up to the anti-Semitism but that has been very little very late. NATO is divided because Turkey is the enemy of NATO. NATO does not fund itself adequately, they want the USA to do all of the work. The USA is pushing back with Pres. Trump telling NATO to increase their military budgets, too late! Russia sees the weakness and they are exploiting it. What has really irked Russia is that the Baltic States have joined NATO.
Lithuania: On February 16, 1918, Lithuania was re-established as a democratic state. It remained independent until the outset of World War II, when it was occupied by the Soviet Union under the terms of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. In 1990–1991, Lithuania restored its sovereignty with the Act of the Re-Establishment of the State of Lithuania. Lithuania joined the NATO alliance in 2004 and the European Union as part of its enlargement in 2004. Putin was irate. Wedged between Russian ally Belarus and the Russian Baltic Sea exclave of Kaliningrad, Lithuania is worried that it could be the next target of Russian aggression following invasions in Georgia in 2008 and Crimea in 2014-15.
Latvia: In the reassessment period of the Soviet history that began during the Perestroika, the USSR in 1989 condemned the 1939 secret protocol between Nazi Germany and herself that had led to the invasion and occupation of the three Baltic countries, including Latvia. Newsweek had this headline in 2016, COUNTING DOWN TO A RUSSIAN INVASION OF THE BALTICS.
Estonia: On 16 June 1940, the Soviet Union invaded Estonia.[16] The Red Army exited from their military bases in Estonia, some 90,000 additional Soviet troops entered the country. Molotov had accused the Baltic states of conspiracy against the Soviet Union and delivered an ultimatum to Estonia for the establishment of a government the Soviets approve of. Estonia is afraid of the next invasion look at this recent article: Political Magazine had this: They Will Die in Tallinn’: Estonia Girds for War With Russia: “The head of the tiny NATO member’s special forces details his country’s preparations for a conflict many here see as inevitable.” By MOLLY K. MCKEW July 10, 2018 The Baltic states are all gearing up for war. They remember when the Russians invaded them in the past and they want to fight to the death this time. It is possible that Russia will use the Baltics as their practice field before they invade Israel.
Russia is playing a dangerous game with God. They are backing the Iranians in Syria. Look at this article: RUSSIAN ENVOY: ISRAEL AGREES TO REMOVAL OF IRANIAN TROOPS 85KM FROM GOLAN. As I have been telling you for months, Russia lies about removing Iran, now they are lying about moving Iranian troops back from Israel border. Iran has the goal of destroying Israel and Russia says this: “They (Iran) are playing a very, very important role in our common and joint effort to eliminate terrorists in Syria,” Russia’s Ambassador to Israel Anatoly Viktorov told Channel 10 in an interview on Tuesday.” If Iran is playing an important role for Russia, they are allies. The Bible once again is right concerning history and prophecy! Iran is in a freefall economically, this will lead to war: “It seems a week does not pass in which more European companies announce that they are avoiding Iranian markets like a deadly plague. And the divestment from Iran’s dangerous economy comes without any tangible saber rattling on the ground from the Trump administration.” Pulling out of the Iran deal has increased the likelihood that the Gog-Magog prophesy will be fulfilled sooner.
Finally, it is Thursday morning Aug.2nd and Iran is threatening to attack the Strait of Hormuz. “Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard is expected to soon begin a major naval exercise that could demonstrate its ability to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial conduit for global energy supplies, US officials say.” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran on Wednesday that Israel, together with an “international coalition,” would not allow the Islamic Republic to close a key regional waterway. War with Iran is in the air because Iran is falling apart and they are desperate. Pray for peace. Iran wishes to murder Christians and Jews and God is judging the nation. God has promised us that the wicked will fail. Stay hopeful.
