War that is Good

Prophecy Update: War that is Good! 11/15/19

It has been a wild week. War in Israel again from the Gaza Strip, war in the congress as the Democrats try to oust President Trump, and war spiritually across our nation. The United States is in an all out spiritual war against the forces of evil. The press, Hollywood, and most media outlets are all in with Satan’s view of life, morals, ethics, and perversions. The Bible tells us that war is good when it is war for the sake of God and His truth. 2 Cor. 10:3-5 says, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.”

Notice that in our passage, war is sought out by Christians because the ground of war is what we hear and what we are taught. Our world teaches us that evil is good, sin is righteous, and Christianity without the Bible and Christ is better than Christianity with the Bible and Christ. Destroying what is being raised up against the knowledge of God is the responsibility of every Christian. This week we have been attacked from many angles, are you fighting according to 2Cor.10:3-5?

What about your view of Israel? Is Israel the chosen nation by God to lead us into the end times? Is Israel still a nation before the God of the Christians? Is Israel the nation God has chosen to bless the world? Do you believe that if you bless Israel you will be blessed and if you curse Israel you will be cursed? All of these questions are being answered by the press negatively each day.

Here is the answer of the people who live in the Gaza Strip:
Islamic Jihad declares ‘We’re going to war,’ after IDF kills its strongman.
Israel is at war with the people of the Gaza Strip because the people who live there have declared their allegiance to the view that Israel must be destroyed. They sing, “from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free.” This is the latest dust up but Israel has responded:

IDF chief: Ready for Gaza escalation after Jihad commander hit, will resume targeted killings if need be. Israel has fought back and that offends the world. The world pushes the view that the Palestinians are so weak and cannot stand up to the big bad bully Israel. They never tell you that the anti-Semites in Gaza shot 200 missiles into Israel! I pray Israel does not stop fighting until they destroy Hamas and Islamic Jihad groups. Unfortunately, they will stop from pressure from the UN and the world until they sign a cease fire. The news this morning (Thursday 11/4)

IDF: Islamic Jihad is regrouping after severe blows:
“The military warns terror group using rocket fire in tactical manner, firing rockets sparingly in order to extend its capabilities, says longer-range missiles expected to be used as well; spokesperson says Israel chose ‘elimination’ over ‘education’ for Abu al-Ata” As you can see, the Islamic Jihad is serious about destroying Israel and Israel is serious about fighting back. This can lead to more war and it will because the root problem in the Middle East is that the Muslim countries do not want Israel to exist. Period!! Meanwhile the President of Syria has weighed in with his anti-Semitic declaration:

Assad: ‘Israel has conquered our land’
“Bashar al-Assad says more than 100,000 Syrian troops killed in civil war, blasts Israel for ‘conquering’ Syrian land.” As you know, southern Syria and northern Israel is where the Gog Magog battle will be fought. It is this land, the Golan Heights, that is in dispute. The UN and most of the nations of the world say that Israel is illegally occupying the Golan Heights. The USA and Israel say that the Golan Heights are legally sovereign Israeli land. This is spiritual warfare for the 21st century. There are 12 tribes of Israel and eight of those tribes do not have all of their land back. Three tribes have none of their land. That tells me that God is still going to cause Israel to gain more land then they currently have. This is the ongoing war of Psalm 83 and Ezekiel 36-37. When that happens, and it will happen soon, the world will flip a lid. AntiChrist will come on the heels of this prophetic fulfillment.

Islamic Jihad in Gaza: Backed by Iran, challenge to Hamas
Analysis: Killing of terror group’s military mastermind unleashes another round of escalation in violence in the Strip, but how far can the group, which has become a driving force in rocket fire and confrontations with Israel, really go? Israeli officials described el-Atta as the mastermind of recent attacks against Israel and the militant group’s top commander in Gaza. Islamic Jihad is the smaller of the two main Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip, and is vastly outnumbered by the ruling Hamas group, but it enjoys direct Iranian backing, both financially and militarily, and has become the driving force in rocket fire and confrontations with Israel. The group was founded in 1981 with the aim of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza and all of what is now Israel. It is designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department, European Union and other governments. Though the militant group’s base is Gaza, its leadership is also based in Beirut and Damascus, where it maintains close ties with Iranian officials. Since seizing power in 2007, Hamas has fought three wars with Israel, often with support from Islamic Jihad fighters. “If Hamas will try to retaliate against the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas immediately will be accused that they are harming the national struggle against Israel,” Michael said. Rocket Attacks Shatter Israel’s Dawn; Islamic Jihad Admits Iran Calling the Shots.

Here is where the story takes a turn into the Gog Magog prophecy. Because the international press does not want Israel in the land, they always take the side of the Jihadists, Palestinians, and the Iranians. Iran gets a free pass by the EU and the international press. You will never see an article blaming Iran, it will only blame Israel. When the GOG Magog war starts, Israel will be blamed. I saw this first hand in Israel (2014) as CNN constantly lied about what was happening in Israel. A tangential story is the attempt to oust Benjamin Netanyahu from office. He is still Prime Minister and he still has a shot at winning the election. This infuriates the left. They are trying to oust Netanyahu as the left is trying to oust President Trump.

The battle to oust President Trump is primarily part of spiritual warfare. The reason is that the whole impeachment fiasco is based on lies, deception, and hatred. All of which are Satan’s way of doing things. The Left has devoted themselves to removing Trump and Netanyahu. Here is an interesting article from Israel which is related to the Lefts goals.

Jordan Isn’t Palestine, Its Part of Eretz Yisrael.
God has not given all of the land of Israel back to Israel and that is the next most important prophetical event to happen. Satan is doing everything he can to destroy Israel. The rise of antisemitism in Europe again is testimony to the fact that God has lifted His protection from Europe. They are primed to get the antichrist as a leader because the antichrist is the most anti-Semitic person in history. He will make Hitler look like a choir boy. By the way, Hitler’s book, “Mein Kampf” is a best seller in Europe. Here is what the article says:
“Some misguided Jews on the political right, have promoted for the last forty years, the idea that, “Jordan is Palestine.” Jordan isn’t Palestine, its part of the promised Land of Israel. And, peace with Arab states that occupy parts of the Jewish people’s inheritance, is a lie from the start.” Jordan wants the Jews dead and buried so that they can have all of the land. They characterize Psalm 83 perfectly, “Come let us wipe them out as a nation that the name of Israel will be remembered no more.”
Jordan is filled with people who want to kill Jews. There is no peace, just the absence of war. Here is a quote from Jordanian TV:
Jordanian TV Host – ‘We Want to Gouge Out the Eyes of the Zionists’
I have for several years been following the speeches by Jordanian and Egyptian politicians, they consistently speak of their desire to destroy Israel. Eventually, war is coming because Satan wants it, God predicted it, and the world prepares for it.

Its Friday morning and I am reading the news articles about the so called cease fire I told you about. The Cease-fire started and lasted 4 hours, the Islamic Jihad does not want a cease-fire, they want war. Here is the article that summed this up:
Right Before “CeaseFire”, Israel Offs Another Terrorist Mastermind, CeaseFire Broken 4 Hours Later.
As you can see, Israel is not playing around. Unfortunately, killing the terroist leaders is not enough, they need to fight all the way. Taking their land back and kicking the squatters off the land is the only way forward. If Israel will not do it, God will and the Lord will get the glory for fulfilling His word.
“Since Baha Abu al-Atta’s assassination on Tuesday morning, Israel killed 32 terrorists, with the majority of them being members of the Islamic Jihad. Approximately 100 have been wounded. 360 rockets have fallen onto Israeli soil.”

Israelis in south brace for more rockets as barrages continue despite Gaza ceasefire: It is an intolerable condition in southern Israel. This can only lead to more war and the citizens of Israel are crying out for protection. Does God hear their cry? Yes, He does just like He did when they were in Egypt. God will come to the aid of Israel, are you praying for it. I want Gods will to be done and that means that Israel needs to secure all of her land. How will it be done?
I continue to ask the Lord to show me His will about His prophecies concerning the land. The constant answer is that Israel will secure all of her land through war not peace deals. All of the peace deals so far have yielded more war and conditions for more war. It is that way today. Peace deals are useless because they are with a people dedicated to Satan’s hatred of all things Israel. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem today!

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.
