Iran and End Times

Prophecy Update: June 8th 2018

One of the clear evidences that we are in the end times is the treatment of Israel. The nations of the world are arrayed against her and treat her with contempt. This is why the United States is such an anomaly. When President Trump showed kindness and favor to Israel, he was attacked in hateful ways that mirror the way Israel is attacked. I want to explore this sign of the end times in this update.

There is a deep seated hatred of Israel in Europe. With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Europe visiting France, Germany, and Britain this week, I want to revisit the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe. Netanyahu is not going to friendly places, Britain, France, and Germany have defended Muslim immigration and the Iran deal. The subsequent attack on Jews from the Muslim community has been hushed up or openly denied. The Washington Times said this:
“In our own time of hyperpartisan anger and resentment, when everyone seems to be mad at somebody, there’s a resurgence of anger at the Jews in Europe. Physical assaults on Jews average twice a week in France, Jews in Germany worry about open anti-Semitism among migrants and refugees from Syria and Iraq, a new libel law in Poland prohibits attribution or responsibility to Polish complicity in the Holocaust, synagogues in Sweden were targeted for vandalism after the United States relocated its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, and English Jews demonstrated in London against anti-Semitism in the British Labor Party.” May 28th 2018, Washington Times.

“Jews worry too much. That seems to be the point of a recent article in the otherwise sensible Economist. Sure, two German rappers won that country’s highest music award by bragging their torsos are “better defined than an Auschwitz inmate’s” and vowing to “make another Holocaust.” But, says the Economist, the intended targets of this aspirational Holocaust were “unclear” and could “possibly [be] rival hip-hop artists.” From these two recent articles, if I were Jewish I would be leaving Germany and France now.

Consider these two articles one from 2016 and the second one from this week?
On November 9 2016, an anti-racism demonstration was going to be held in Umeå, Sweden, in commemoration of Kristallnacht (the night in 1938 in which 400 Jews were murdered in Germany, and 30,000 Jewish men arrested and sent to concentration camps). There was just one catch: the Jews in Umeå were not invited to the demonstration. The reason given, according to one of the organizers, Jan Hägglund, was that the demonstration would be “perceived as an unwelcoming or unsafe situation for them.”
June 4th 2018: Swedish Minister to PA Arabs: We will fight with you and for you
“Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom pledges to ‘fight’ for Palestinian Arabs. Sweden’s foreign minister told Palestinian Arabs that her country will “fight with you and for you,” prompting pro-Israel activists to accuse her of encouraging violence against Israelis.”

What these two articles illustrate is that anti-Semitism is alive and well in Europe, Sweden is in full out hatred of Jews and all Jews should leave this anti-Semitic country because they will not protect you. The foreign minister Margot Wallstrom has a history of hating on Jews and Israel.

This is why the meetings this week between Netanyahu and the leaders of Europe are so important. I have no doubt that this will prompt the haters of Israel to go farther than they ever have. Netanyahu said that he had two agendas, Iran and Iran. The two agendas are: block Iran’s aggression in the region and continue pressure on Iran against its nuclear program. As if anyone wanted it made clear where Iran stood on these meetings, the Ayatollah Khamenei made it clear on Monday: Netanyahu said, “Just yesterday, Iran’s leader [Ali Ayatollah] Khamenei, yesterday he said again that Israel is a cancer that has to be eradicated, will be eradicated from the earth. “This is amazing that in the beginning of the 21st century, somebody talks about destroying Israel. It means destroying another 6 million plus Jews. It’s quite extraordinary that this goes on, but this is what we face.” So how did Merkel respond to this message?

Merkel then spoke, continuing with her support of the nuclear deal, stating that Germany “supports Israel’s right to security and have said this to Iran all along. We have the same goal that Iran must never get a nuclear weapon. The difference between us is how to do that.” While she stated that Iran’s “regional influence is worrying, especially for Israel’s security” she reported that Germany would “make every diplomatic effort to make use of our influence on the issue of Iran’s ballistic program and its activities in Yemen and the presence of Iran’s army in Syria.” I believe that actions are louder than words. Merkel’s actions are to defend the Iran deal. That deal is supplying money and arms to Iran to destroy Israel. If you want to help Israel, you scrap the deal. As soon as Merkel says she is staying with the Iran deal, everything else she says is bogus. This is a woman who defended bringing in more Muslim refugees and denied they were raping women and attacking Jews. In 2015 she said, “Merkel pledges to protect Muslim faith in an ‘undivided’ Germany, She also said that Islam belongs to Germany as much as Judaism.” Her vision for Germany will drive the Jews from the land because you cannot defend the rights of Islam and Jews at the same time. Der Spiegel magazine said this of Angela Merkel today (Wednesday 6/6/2018), “Once upon a time, the books will say: Angela Merkel watched Europe fall apart, and she has not intervened.” You cannot intervene when your too busy defending the indefensible.

The same thing happened in France, with everyone’s head stuck in the sand, France denies that it is the type of culture that will repeat the holocaust. Every day that France protects Sharia law, no go zones, and Muslim freedom to do whatever they want, they will be destroyed under the weight of their multicultural god. Netanyahu brought the same message and got the same response, Iran wants to kill us, develop nukes, take over the Middle East, Macron: were staying in the Iran deal! So how did the French press treat Netanyahu, here are the headlines: “French protests against Netanyahu’s visit: No red carpets for war criminals.” ‘French and Arab organizations in France called for a protest in Paris on Tuesday to reject the visit of the Prime Minister of the Israeli entity Benjamin Netanyahu, saying it is “shame to receive the butcher of Gaza.” Macron also said that France supports the “two-state solution,” and claimed the transfer of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv “caused death.” He said he made it clear to Israel’s prime minister that he was “concerned about the events of the last few weeks on the Gaza border that threaten the peace process.”
What is clear so far from Netanyahu visit to Europe is that Europe is primed for another of God’s prophecies to come true. God promised that He would take His people Israel from the north and bring them into the land of Israel and they would rebuild the ancient cities. A lot of Jews need to start coming so they can rebuild many of those cities in the West Bank. As Germany and France have made clear, they support Hamas, a terrorist organization, and support their terror campaign against Israel by blaming Israel for protecting the border and giving Hamas a pass for all of the attacks on Israel.
Macron also purports himself to be the leader of the whole world. Consider this headline: “Macron wants to build French-led new world order – but no-one is listening.” How about this one: “Emmanuel Macron To Launch 10-Nation Military Coalition Next Month.” Macron wants to have a new group to replace the EU and challenge the USA. “Defense ministers of France, the U.K., Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Denmark and Estonia will sign a letter of intent in Paris in June, officials told me, pledging to develop a common strategic culture, share analysis and foresight on trouble spots that may require intervention and work to coordinate their forces for future operations.” This sounds like Daniel 2 and the development of the ten nation coalition. Daniel said that the statue would have ten toes that are ten nations, kings. It is a little bizarre that this is happening now.
Get this prophetic timing: At the same time that Israel is being strengthened by God, powerful and prosperous, a leader in Europe wants to unite the world around himself (Macron). Another leader, Erdogan of Turkey wants an Islamic army to wipe out the Jews. This is happening as the nations support Iran! This is setting up the Gog Magog prophecy and the return of the Jews from Europe. A final empire is coming on the earth that will exhibit the hatred of Israel that Germany, France, and Great Britain are exhibiting at this time. John saw the same thing that Daniel saw, he wrote of the final empire in Revelation 17—the beast is rising! The final empire that God predicted would be on the earth is coming!

It is Friday morning and I have waited to write this last part until Netanyahu met with May from Britain. Well, as I expected, Britain supported Iran over Israel. In fact, Britain, France, and Germany are asking the USA to support their Iran shenanigans. Europe Asks U.S. for an Exemption From Sanctions on Iran, NY Times 6/5/2018. The US has crushed Iran by pulling out of the Iran deal. God is using this action to force the nations into hating Israel even more. God is exposing the attitudes of their hearts. The attitude of the hearts of the Europeans is to support Islam over Christianity, to support anti-Semitism over supporting Israel. That has become very clear this week. Once again, God has used President Trump as a spear to the world: “In a letter to senior Trump administration officials, European foreign and finance leaders this week tacitly acknowledged that their efforts to preserve the West’s nuclear deal with Iran were failing.” Trump forced the nations to choose between Iran and Israel and they chose Iran. This is prophecy coming to pass in our day—what a day to be alive! Pray for the Christians who are persecuted for their faith and for the Jews under threat of harm in Europe. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I want to write ten more pages on this subject—next week! My blog is 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.
