Prophecy Update: Jerusalem a Burdensome Stone
If you were driving down the road and made a right turn onto a road that just had a horrible crash and the police put restrictions that caused you to turn around, that is what it is like to deal with Jerusalem. The nations of the world are dealing with Jerusalem and it is a burdensome stone for them when they should turn around. Turning around means to agree that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and unified. The nations however say that Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel but an international city that should be shared by the nations, with east Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian State. That is like trying to force your way by the police blockade. In this case, the blockade is from the Lord Himself. His blockade to the nations is to say to them, accept my will regarding Jerusalem or else. God does not often act like this so when He does, you should pay attention. Of Jerusalem God said,
Zech. 1:17 “Again, proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the LORD will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem.”’”
God has established His truth about Jerusalem in Israeli law and it is accepted by several countries as America led the charge to move the embassy to Jerusalem. The important thing to point out is that God has moved and His truth has gone forth. Jerusalem is His city and He has given it to Israel, not the Palestinians or Muslims or the Vatican. God asks the nations to have this attitude:
Isa 66:10 “Be joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her, all you who love her;
Be exceedingly glad with her, all you who mourn over her.
Instead of rejoicing about what God has done, the nations have rebelled and they are fulfilling at least in their attitude Zech.12:3, “It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured. And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.” In Israel, King David fought and killed the giant Goliath with a rock and a sling. Israel made a defense missile system called David’s Sling. The world should note with great care, that Israel is protected and can fight as David did. These nations are Goliath and Israel is David, victory is secure.
God is very clear about His intentions. He has intended to bring Israel back and to establish Jerusalem. We are so privileged to be living in that day. God says:
Psalm132:13+14, For the LORD has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.”
America has very strongly supported Israel in every area. Most important is that America now agrees that the Palestinians are a poor partner for peace. Amreica has bypassed the Palestinian Liberation Authority. We just stopped 200 million dollars going to the PLA. Here is the headline from YNET news: “Erekat accuses US, Israel of ‘waging war’ on Palestinians. After US announces decision to cut more than $200 million in Palestinian aid, PLO Secretary General Saeb Erekat tells Ynet ‘political blindness’ shown by Trump and Netanyahu, which he says has ‘no end game’, is destroying the path of peace; says no peace without east Jerusalem as capital of Palestinian state.” As you will note, the PLA is still living under the illusion that they will get Jerusalem. The illusion continues for most nations of the world. The EU and UN are filled with nations that hate Israel and are willing to go to war to kick Israel out of the land. However, they have no will in either place. All of their words are empty and there is no one to attack Israel with an army big enough or strong enough to defeat Israel. The one nation that can launch an attack is Russia.
America recognizes that Iran and Russia are on the border of Israel and have evil intentions. That is why America has moved to recognize the Golan Heights. This is where the war of Magog/Gog will take place. It was reported last week: August 24:
NETANYAHU SAYS HAS NOT GIVEN UP ON U.S. RECOGNITION OF CONTROL OVER GOLAN: In July the House Subcommittee on National Security held a hearing on the matter under the title: “A new horizon in US-Israel relations: From an American embassy in Jerusalem to potential recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.” The purpose of the hearing, according to an announcement put out by the subcommittee, was “to discuss the potential for American recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights in furtherance of US national security interests.” Russia is preparing for the war with Israel. Look at this move this week: “Russia will next month hold its biggest war games in nearly four decades,” Reuters is reporting.
“Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was quoted by Russian news agencies on Tuesday as describing the scope of the war games, which will take place from September 11 through 15. “The exercise — called Vostok-2018 (East-2018) — will take place in central and eastern Russian military districts and involve almost 300,000 troops, over 1,000 military aircraft, two of Russia’s naval fleets, and all its airborne units, agencies quoted Shoigu as saying. It will be the biggest military exercise since 1981….”
Since 2014 Russia has been on the move; war with Ukraine, taking Crimea, entering Syria and fighting for four years, war games to practice invasion of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. America and NATO are unprepared for this attack from Russia. The only way to stop the Russians is to use nukes and America does not seem prepared to do this. On top of this, the EU has now declared that America is not a partner for anything. Macron: Europe can’t rely on U.S. for security Aug.28th Arkansas Democrat Gazette–French President Emmanuel Macron called on Europe to take more responsibility for its defense as partners like the U.S. “turn their back” on the current world order. “The real question for Europe is if China and the U.S. see Europe as being strategically autonomous; today they don’t,” Macron told French ambassadors in Paris on Monday during the president’s annual foreign-policy speech. “Europe can no longer rely solely on the United States for its security. We must guarantee our own security and sovereignty.”
Macron is deceived by his political correctness. He claims to be a great leader because he has better morals than nationalists and Trump. He believes there should be no national borders. I bet Russia and Germany wouldn’t mind taking their land. If America decides not to enter a war with Russia in Europe, Russia would have no problem destroying Europe. It should serve as a warning that when Macron and Merkel of Germany shout loudly that they are going to defend themselves without the USA, Russia begins moving troops into position to invade. The Bible tells us that the invasion of Israel is coming. But make no mistake about it, Russia wants the Baltic States. If no one stopped them from taking Crimea, no one will stop them from taking the Baltic States. This might be the final practice before Russia invades Israel.
Bloomberg had this headline: “Macron and Merkel Are Signaling They’ve Finally Had Enough of Trump.” This breaking with the USA signals the rise of anti-Christ.
“Both are pushing the EU to take on more global responsibility for defense while weighing a plan to create a separate financial system to ensure European autonomy. As the finance ministers of both countries pick up the discussion during talks in Paris on Wednesday, a question mark remains over whether it’s even feasible for a continent so intertwined with the U.S. to take back control.”
We know that Bible Prophecy teaches us that Europe will be taken over by the anti-Christ and a new financial system. These events this week are the down payment for the eventual fulfillment of prophecy.
Without the anti-Christ, Europe will not stop Russia or hinder the USA. They are so weak, there is no will in Europe to defend their culture. The takeover of Europe by the Muslims is almost complete. As Russia sends three war ships to the border of Syria in the Mediterranean, Europe is concerned that Italy and Hungary will not take any more Muslims into their countries. The European Union issued a report asking NATO to show restraint towards Russia in all of her moves of troops, nukes, and military maneuvers. Oh did I tell you that Russia moved more tactical nukes into the Syrian region. You cannot ask Europe to become more passive, Neville Chamberlain would be so proud. As Russia gets more powerful, war is on the horizon quickly. The buildup is coming fast. This is easy to see in all of the free press, what we do not know is how and when Russia will strike.
Since Jerusalem is the timepiece of biblical prophecy, mark it well that the European Union is entrenched in their view that the Jews do not have a right to make Jerusalem their capital. They have opposed Israel in every law they passed concerning Jerusalem being their capital. Since they claim that it belongs to the Arabs, God sent them the Arab Muslims and they are being judged by this group of people.
Iran and Syria just inked a deal for Iran to stay in Syria. The response of Europe was to support Iran and not the USA or Israel. In my mind, Germany and France just made themselves the enemies of the USA. Both Macron and Merkel show their hatred for anyone who does not follow their globalist agenda. The globalist agenda is the agenda of Anti-Christ, period. Pray for the United States to stay strong in the midst of all of the chaos. God has blessed the Christians in this country giving us another opportunity to share His word and teach the truth before the fall comes. Come Lord Jesus, Come!
