Prophecy Update: Musings About the World! 1/10/20
I wanted to give an overview of what I see happening in the world today. This overview comes from specific prophecies predicted in the Bible. Jesus was very clear about certain things regarding the last days. Those specifics are right in front of us for all to see.
Jesus said that the last days would concern the city of Jerusalem. Luke 21:24 gives us some light about our day: “and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.”
Since 70AD, Jerusalem has been under the sovereignty of Gentile nations. Something great happened in 1967, Israel captured Jerusalem and since that time, Satan has been working overtime to prevent the Jews from gaining complete sovereignty over the city. Israel declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel in 1981, undivided and Jewish. Then the nations of the world through the UN cursed Israel for saying this and declared Jerusalem an international city. Then God moved the ball forward with the truth, He raised up nations to declare that what He said was true. That happened for the United States in 2018 when the USA moved the embassy to Jerusalem. The nations of the world reacted just as the Bible predicted, they would reject what the US did. With this one act, the nations of the world have resorted to absolute hatred for anyone supporting the Jews and Jerusalem. Several nations followed the lead of the USA and moved their embassies.
Several prophecies in the Old Testament teach what will happen:
Zech.12:2, “Behold I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around”
Zech.14:2, “For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle”….vs.3 “Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations as when He fights on a day of battle.”
Jerusalem is the center of the world and the centerpiece of what God is doing today. God is giving a message to the world—just as I demanded that the nations come to Jerusalem for salvation before Jesus came, I am demanding once again that you receive Jerusalem as My capitol city for the world. The world has an answer for the Lord in Psalm 2; the nations reject all that God is doing today. Just as the nations are rejecting Jesus as Messiah, they reject Jerusalem as the capitol city of the world. Why?
God is coming back to dwell in Jerusalem because He is jealous for His capital city. Jesus will reign over the earth from Jerusalem and He will make everyone come there each year to worship Him. Here are some verses to let you know where we are going:
Zechariah 1:14 “So the angel who was speaking with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, “I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and Zion.”
Zechariah 8:2-3, “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘I am exceedingly jealous for Zion, yes, with great wrath I am jealous for her.’ “Thus says the LORD, ‘I will return to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.’
Zechariah 14:9, 11, “And the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD will be the only one, and His name the only one. …People will live in it, and there will no longer be a curse, for Jerusalem will dwell in security.”
Learn from the Word of God, Jesus is jealous for His city because He is coming to the city to rule over all of the nations of the world. He is going to build the Temple and Isaiah 2 tells us what will happen when the nations come: vs.3-4 says, “And many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; That He may teach us concerning His ways And that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war.”
What happened in the last few years in Jerusalem shows the spiritual fight going on in the supernatural realm. After Donald Trump declared what he was going to do with Israel and Jerusalem, the satanic realm went into overdrive. Satan raised up his evil ones to condemn and try to stop what President Trump did with Israel. They failed! So Satan raised up some of the most vile, evil, anti-Semitic people America has ever seen in our government. The four women Satan raised up (The Squad) are leading the Democratic Party to hate Israel and are moving the Democratic party to the left farther and farther. In March of 2019 was this article:
“The Fight Over Ilhan Omar Is a Fight Over the Identity of the Democratic Party”—Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley are called the squad. “The debate over Ilhan Omar reflects the radical shift happening in the Democratic base. The party’s young, multiethnic, definitively progressive wing has demonstrated its power to steer the country’s conversation on Israel and Palestine. Muslim political leaders have helped make this happen. Omar and her colleague from Michigan, Rashida Tlaib—along with activists such as Linda Sarsour, who helped lead the national Women’s March—have emerged as visible symbols of American progressivism.”
That leads to December 2019 when God moved the ball forward again prophetically! The Democratic Party is looking for favor with the Squad—consider this headline from Dec.14th,
Why 2020 Democrats Want Endorsements From ‘The Squad’—The move to the left is also a move to throw Israel under the bus. If Trump were not the President, Israel would have no America as an ally, only an enemy. This is what is at stake in 2020. Bernie Sanders and the other candidates for the Democratic ticket are falling over themselves to come out and hate on Israel.
Last week we killed the author of the final solution from Iran. General Quassam Solimani led the Quds force which is tasked with the murder of every Jew in the world and the conquering of Israel. He is now dead and the Democrats came out as pro Iran and anti American as I have ever seen them. The Wall Street Journal had this article about this:
The Democrats and Iran: Why can’t the party’s candidates simply admit Qasem Soleimani’s death makes Americans safer?
“President Trump’s order to take out Qasem Soleimani was morally, constitutionally and strategically correct. It deserves more bipartisan support than the begrudging or negative reactions it has received thus far from my fellow Democrats.” In fact, Democrats are claiming President Trump committed a war crime by killing the general!
Bernie Sanders made clear that he does not want the embassy in Jerusalem and does not want Israel to have all of her land. Two things that God is working towards. He said this: “Israeli settlements in occupied territory are illegal. This is clear from international law and multiple United Nations resolutions. Once again, Mr. Trump is isolating the United States and undermining diplomacy by pandering to his extremist base.” (Times of Israel, November 19, 2019) and this: Axios asked candidates if they would move the U.S. embassy back to Tel Aviv, Sanders refused to comment despite having criticized Trump’s decision to move the embassy to Jerusalem, saying that the move would “dramatically undermine the prospects for an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, and severely, perhaps irreparably, damage the United States’ ability to broker that peace.” (Axios, July 14, 2019) Likewise, all of the Democratic candidates are against what God has done the last two years! This headline appeared Thursday, January 9, 2020–Ilhan Omar voted 2019’s antisemite of the year!
The Real Russian Collusion: The Democrats who are standing with Iran are the real Russian colluders. The reason is that the coming coalition of Iran and Russia attacking Israel will get their hearty approval. It is already happening— “CNN Gives Platform To Spokeswoman For The 1979 US Embassy Hostage-Takers To Push Iran Propaganda.” The interview was conducted to give the Iranian side, claiming the USA was a racist nation in 1979 and today because we killed Soliemani. Just as CNN only gives support to Democrats, they also push an anti-American agenda. All of the Democratic contenders for president share the Russian view that Israel does not have the right to the settlements and the Golan Heights. Once again, President Trump has moved the ball forward prophetically speaking by recognizing the Golan Heights as sovereign territory of Israel and the settlements as legal under international law. The Democrats have rejected both views. The Democrats will not have Israel’s back at the UN, this is not the case in the Trump administration.
The headline today makes clear that the land of Israel is at the center of Gods prophetic will!
Pompeo says U.S. support for Israeli settlements advances peace with Palestinians. This headline is interesting for many reasons. First, it is about advancing peace and when they say peace, peace, there will be no peace. Second, the settlements do not belong to Israel according to the UN and the Palestinians. God says otherwise. This is setting up a battle which Israel will win because it is the will of our heavenly Father to bring Jews back to the land of Israel and settle them there! Here is an important quote:
“In a reversal of four decades of U.S. policy, Pompeo in November announced that the United States no longer viewed Israel’s settlements on West Bank land it captured in the 1967 Middle East war as “inconsistent with international law”.
How do you think that Satan responded? He moved his minions to attack Israel. Here is a quote about the attack: But the move delighted Israel and provides important U.S. support amid a potential International Criminal Court (ICC) inquiry into alleged war crimes in Palestinian areas, including the West Bank. Last month, the ICC’s chief prosecutor said she would launch a full investigation in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip as soon as the Hague-based body’s jurisdiction had been established.
If you can’t beat Israel thru war, boycotts, and terrorism, then take them to court. The international court will declare Israel guilty of war crimes because that is what anti-Semites do. The facts do not matter, but the Word of God matters. The Word of God declares that Israel will get this land back and they will live on their land in peace. But first, the rebellion against God among the nations has to take place. The rebellion will include the rise of antichrist and the tribulation period. That got me thinking about this year. It is an election year and a lot is at stake this year in America. What vision do you have of our country?
Something that would never have happened under any other administration happened this week. The Trump administration went above and beyond the call of duty to support Israel. In 1978, during President Carters administration, the State Department crafted a policy that stated the Jewish presence in the West Bank was illegal under international law. Here is the headline:
“Kohelet Policy Forum Applaud Trump Administration Announcement to “Disavow” Hansel Memo on Legality of Israeli Settlements. For decades, a brief and poorly-reasoned memo by a State Department official had been relied upon as evidence that Israeli settlements are illegal. Now, Secretary Pompeo makes clear that the U.S. not only does not adopt the conclusions of the Carter-era memo, but entirely repudiates it as a source of legal guidance. The announcement was made today by Secretary Mike Pompeo in video statement at the Kohelet Policy Forum Conference on the Pompeo Doctrine in Jerusalem.” Trump is destroying every law, legal opinion in the United States that has made the land of Israel illegal. No country will be able to stop God from accomplishing His plan to give His land back to His people Israel. I am glad for one that the USA has repudiated all the Obama administration did to hate on Israel. Today, we live in a land blessed of God because we blessed Israel.
Next week I am going to talk more about the Gog Magog Prophecy because so many parts of that prophecy are coming together. Here is a summary: President Trump said in his speech about the Soiamani attack, NATO needs to take more responsibility for the Middle East. Why? America does not need their oil anymore. This fits the prophecy because America is not in that war. Also, the passivity shown by the West in that war is currently residing in the hearts of the Democratic Party. It means that the wing of that party will be in power when that war takes place, or a Republican—not Trump—who is as passive as the Democrats. This passive view takes shape in the anti-Semitic attacks from Democrats. Bernie Sanders in an interview with NPR said that he would use diplomacy for the current situation with Iran. Really! I am glad for one that we have a President who is willing to protect Americans. Iran is not powerful enough to attack Israel on her own. This is why she needs Russia. There are many other things but you will have to wait until next week. As always, keep looking for the Lord to return—He loves it when we look for Him! Maranatha
