There are five significant developments coming together. These five things have been intensifying over the last 10 years. They reveal that we are in the last times; therefore, we should keep oil in our lamps and be ready to meet the Lord.
- The Peace Treaty: When President Donald Trump unveiled the “Peace to Prosperity” plan, he began a process whereby Arab nations could get out from under the Palestinian fiction that kept them from making peace with Israel. Since Daniel 9 teaches us that they will sign a peace deal in the future, this is the beginning of what Antichrist will finish.
“Historic Peace Treaty or Preparation for the Antichrist? Evangelical Christians who love Israel are torn over what to think about the Abraham Accords. For 30 years, from 1948 until 1978, not a single Middle Eastern nation made peace with Israel. It was not until 1979 that Egypt made that historic move. It ultimately factored into the assassination of the courageous Egyptian leader Anwar Sadat; Jordan in 1995, 16 years later. What cannot be denied is the magnitude of this treaty, which is being hailed as the Abraham Accords. As one of the official documents states, “this development will help lead to a future in which all peoples and all faiths can live together in the spirit of cooperation and enjoy peace and prosperity where states focus on shared interests and building a better future.” israeltoday
I believe this treaty will be the one that Antichrist will confirm as taught in Daniel 9:27.
“And he (antichrist) will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.”
The Hebrew word God used for ‘fulfill’ or ‘confirm’ means: to prevail, have strength, be strong, be powerful, be mighty, be great. In other words, Antichrist will use something that is already in existence. The Antichrist’s version of the treaty will prevail! We live in the day that is truly historic with what is happening with the Abraham Accords.
- The Temple: According to Pastor Steven Khoury, a meeting was held on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem with Muslim and Jewish leaders. Pastor Khoury was the only Christian at the meeting. The meeting revealed that a 100 million dollar gift was given for the rebuilding of the Temple. The meeting was a planning meeting to figure out where to put the Temple and a courtyard for the non-Jewish visitors. This will fulfill the conditions taught us in Revelation for the future temple.
“Then there was given me a measuring rod like a staff; and someone said, “Get up and measure the temple of God and the altar, and those who worship in it. Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread underfoot the holy city for forty-two months.” Rev.11:1-2
“A Turning Point in Israel? During Sukkot, more Jews prayed at the Temple Mount than the Western Wall. But recently, it seems that the numbers of Jews praying at the Western Wall has begun to decline. The reason for this has everything to do with how quickly our world is approaching a period of fulfilled prophecy: More Jews are beginning to worship on the Temple Mount itself instead of the Western Wall.” endtimes
Events are moving fast for the rebuilding of the Temple and this is why our third point is so important!
- Red Heifer:
“Numbers 19 teaches the heifer must be three years old and perfect in its redness. This means that the presence of as few as two hairs of any other color will render it invalid; it is related that for this reason, the red heifer was always very expensive to procure. Even its hooves must be red. It must also be totally free from any physical blemish or defect, whether internal or external. The red heifer also has an additional, unique requirement: it must have never been used to perform any physical labor. In our own times, the commandment of the red heifer takes on more and more significance. For without it, the Divine service of the Holy Temple cannot be resumed. There is a spiritual renaissance today in Israel; after almost 2,000 years, Israel is clearly moving towards the time when the Holy Temple on Mount Moriah – the prophesied Third Temple – will be rebuilt.” templeinstitute.org
According to reports from Israel, the Rabbis put a kosher stamp on a red heifer to designate it as the tenth red heifer in history. There have only been nine pure red heifers from Moses to the Temple in Jesus day. In order to fulfill Biblical law, the heifer must be sacrificed within a year. This means…the Temple is going to be rebuilt soon!
Beginning in March 2020, Israel was talking about the red heifer being ready to sacrifice within a year. By June 2020, reports were coming out that they had a pure red heifer who could fulfill the biblical mandate. Then in August, news came out that the red heifer was ready. God waited almost 2000 years to do this because conditions for the prophecy were not ready. They are ready now!
- The Gog Magog Prophecy: Ezekiel 38-39 describes the war in detail. God foretold this war so we would know His plans. We know the specifics of who, what, where, and when. God wants us to be prepared for this coming war. Gog is the description of a leader from Russia. He will lead a coalition of nations to attack Israel. The three big nations in this coalition are Iran, Turkey, and Russia.
“Russia and Turkey Getting Cozy? Why It Could Point to Bible Prophecy of Gog and Magog Being Fulfilled. It’s not just the Russian regime that Turkey seems to be shifting toward. It’s taken other steps away from the US and toward a more extreme brand of Islam. Messianic Jew and prophetic expert Joel Rosenberg recently told CBN News that Turkey’s tyrannical leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is moving his country away from its alliance with western powers and moving it toward radical Islamic countries like Iran. What we watch in the book of Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39, which is known as the ‘eschatological’ future war of Gog and Magog, is the Arab states being very calm and quiet towards Israel. Israel (is) reconstructed, peaceful, prosperous, calm, secure and then a Russian-Iranian-Turkish alliance forming against Israel.” cbn.com
It is clear that Israel will be prosperous and at peace when this war takes place. The Abraham Accords and the work of the Trump Administration fulfills the peace and prosperity part of the prophecy. What amazes me is that the prophecies of Ezekiel 36 are progressively being fulfilled, Israel is moving to take sovereignty over the West Bank. Two things happened in the last week that have propelled forward the fulfillment of Ezekiel 36.
“Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, Thus says the Lord GOD, Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My wrath because you have endured the insults of the nations…. I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be rebuilt.” Ezekiel 36:6,10
God is going to repay the enemies of Israel for their insults. They will receive their own insults. That is happening today!
“Inside Saudi Arabia’s Campaign to Cancel the Palestinians. From trolls to TV, Riyadh is rewriting history to undermine the entire Palestinian struggle, softening up the Arab world for its pending normalization with Israel. “Liars, cheats and ungrateful.” That was the assessment of one of Saudi Arabia’s most senior royals, Bandar bin Sultan, on decades of Palestinian leaders.” haaretz.com
The Trump Administration continues to rain on the Palestinian dream of taking over Israel and setting up a kingdom in Jerusalem. Not only did Trump move the embassy to Jerusalem and declare Jerusalem the undivided capital of Israel, he made peace with other Arab countries. Those Arab countries have turned on the Palestinian Authority. This caused the Palestinian Authority to turn towards Turkey and Russia. Again setting up the Gog Magog War!
“US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on Thursday that US passports of Americans born in Jerusalem can – if the parents so desire – now have Israel listed as the country of birth. This move came just a day after a ceremony in Ariel where restrictions on US federal investments beyond the Green Line were lifted.” jpost.com
This was such a huge thing that over the weekend, people in Israel were claiming that all of the West Bank would now be sovereign Israeli territory. This is a condition of the Gog Magog prophecy. An idea propagated by Palestinian propaganda is that Israel had no valid historical tie or claim to Jerusalem or any of the land of Israel. God is putting the Palestinian Authority down for all of their sin and hatred of Jews!
“Trump administration paves the way for more US investment in illegal Israeli settlements. US ambassador to Israel David Friedman and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed an agreement in a ceremony at Ariel University, located within an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank. “Just as we have seen tremendous regional progress on the Abraham Accords, we are also seeing the tangible benefits of President Trump’s policies for bilateral cooperation with Israel,” said the American envoy. This is an important victory against all those who seek to delegitimize everything Israeli beyond the 1967 lines. Emboldened by Trump’s all-out support, Israel has stepped up its settlement construction activities in the occupied territories in defiance of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334.” presstv.com
This move will cause more economic activity for Israel fulfilling the prophecy of prosperity for Israel. This prosperity will eventually cause Russia, with hook in jaw, to be dragged into the Gog Magog war!
- Persecution of Christians:
“It may be surprising, but Christian persecution around the world is one of the biggest human rights issues of this era. A woman in India watches as her sister is dragged off by Hindu nationalists. She doesn’t know if her sister is alive or dead. A man in a North Korean prison camp is shaken awake after being beaten unconscious; the beatings begin again. A woman in Nigeria runs for her life. She has escaped from Boko Haram, who kidnapped her. She is pregnant, and when she returns home, her community will reject her and her baby.” opendoorsusa.org
Every year, 200 million Christians suffer some level of persecution. The press is silent and the Western Church is largely asleep on the subject. persecution.org
“The United States has entered the fray of persecuting Christians. Franklin Graham Says Biden Will Bring Anti-Christian Persecution. I’m afraid there will be an attack on Christian businesses, like we saw during the Obama administration, Graham told Saturday’s American Right Now. I think we will see these kind of attacks from the left against Christian businesses, Christian organizations, and that will happen,” he added. “I think they will try to come after churches, attacks churches, attacks exempt organizations doing humanitarian work, social work throughout the country. Some of the best work in the country are the nonprofits that are working in the inner cities and throughout the country, trying to help relieve some of the problems we have in society.” newsmax.com
The virus lockdowns and draconian mandates have revealed the hatred of the church in liberal states that believe Christians are the problem in America. Hillary Clinton called us the deplorable bigots of society. Joe Biden promised to take away our rights as Christians because of his pet causes. The Democratic Party stands for pro-abortion, redefining marriage, blessing Iran, cursing Israel, dividing of the land of Israel, and giving China free reign to continue their attacks on America.
In New York, Gov. Cuomo and Mayor Deblasio attacked the church and synagogue. Governor Cuomo blamed the Jews for the spread of the virus. Deblasio has cursed the business culture of New York City so that businesses are leaving. Both of these men have cursed Israel and attacked Christians. God has cursed New York City and the city has fallen. It is like a horror movie!
The same thing is happening to California. God is cursing California for the anti-Semitic activity and persecution of the Church. Over half a million people have left the state. San Francisco is dead like New York City. Watch and pray for these cities because Christians will be caught up in God’s judgment of these cities. We need to be like Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Jeremiah, and many other believers who stood strong while under the judgment of God. Pray for each other in these last days!
