What a Week!

Prophecy Update: What a Week! 4/11/2019

I have been anticipating the annexation of Judea and Samaria, the ancient homeland of Israel. God gave this land to Israel and His promise is to give all of this land back to the Jews. Since 1967, Israel has been building settlements in the ancient homeland against the will of the whole world. The fiction of a Palestinian State and the two state solution has dominated the fake news cycles for most of my life. Now…..

What has happened in the last two weeks has floored me. First, I want to list some of the scriptural proofs that God is going to give this land to Jews and all of the enemies of Israel will lose their precious hold on land that is not theirs.

Isaiah 61:4, Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins, They will raise up the former devastations; And they will repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations.

Isaiah 62:4-5, It will no longer be said to you, “Forsaken,” Nor to your land will it any longer be said, Desolate”; But you will be called, “My delight is in her,” And your land, “Married”; For the LORD delights in you, And to Him your land will be married. For as a young man marries a virgin, So your sons will marry you; And as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, So your God will rejoice over you.

Jeremiah 30:3, ‘For behold, days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when I will restore the fortunes of My people Israel and Judah.’ The LORD says, ‘I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers and they shall possess it.’”

Jeremiah 30:18, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob And have compassion on his dwelling places; And the city will be rebuilt on its ruin, And the palace will stand on its rightful place.

Amos 9:13-15, “Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD,
“When the plowman will overtake the reaper And the treader of grapes him who sows seed; When the mountains will drip sweet wine And all the hills will be dissolved. “Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit.

“I will also plant them on their land, And they will not again be rooted out from their land Which I have given them,” Says the LORD your God.

There are many more passages like this. On the eve of the election in Israel for Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu spoke of his desire to annex Judea and Samaria. After President Trump recognized Israel’s right to Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, I am stunned at this announcement. Here is the Prime Ministers reasoning: He said that it was a three phase process. The first phase was to ‘block for eight years immense pressure to not lay one brick in Judea Samaria, it was hard but we built. The second phase was to, under Pres. Trump, get much larger compensation in the construction we are doing in Judea and Samaria, we now have 18,000 building starts, unbelievable. The third stage is to make sure these Israeli citizens are not forsaken.’

God does not lie. He has stated over and over again in the prophets His desire to reestablish Israel and her people on the ancient land. He has also said that it would take war, He is willing to fight for Israel. He has stated very clearly that the insults and the hatred of Israel will come to an end. The first steps to Israeli Sovereignty to her land was taken in 1948 when they declared Israel a State. The second step was four wars, they took back their land and the world rebelled. The second step also included the nations rejecting Israel’s right to the land. US foreign policy has agreed with much of the world’s claim that Israel has no right to Judea Samaria, Jerusalem, and the Golan.

Israel learned thru experience that giving up land for peace led to war not peace. After Israel gave up land to Lebanon, she got war and Hezbollah. After Israel gave up the Gaza Strip, she got war and Hamas. God never gave them permission to trade their land for peace. The reason is clear, giving up the land of Israel to enemies of Israel leads to war, plain and simple. Here is a fact the world ignores, Iran shouts death to Israel every Friday in their mosques and government rallies. The Palestinian Authority pays people to kill Jews, rewards their families, and teaches the children to grow up and be suicide bombers. We are supposed to believe that you can have peace with such people? The USA gave Iran 150 billion dollars under President Obama. What did Israel get for such stupidity? Iran on her northern border.
It is Tuesday April 9, 2019 and the election is underway in Israel. The winner of this election will be faced with certain war. Turkey, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and Syria are very mad about the declaration of sovereignty over the Golan Heights and Jerusalem. Today, the news is that President Trump has declared that the army of Iran is a terrorist organization. Here is the announcement:

“Today, I am formally announcing my Administration’s plan to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including its Qods Force, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This unprecedented step, led by the Department of State, recognizes the reality that Iran is not only a State Sponsor of Terrorism, but that the IRGC actively participates in, finances, and promotes terrorism as a tool of statecraft. The IRGC is the Iranian government’s primary means of directing and implementing its global terrorist campaign.”

Here is what some are saying about this designation: “Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said it was “fitting that the most dangerous terrorist group in the world, responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocents and backed by a massive state apparatus and vast energy wealth, is being designated finally as a foreign terrorist organization.” The designation now means “the US government can truly unleash its full economic, prosecutorial and political powers” to punish Iran, Dubowitz said.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Thank you, my dear friend, President of the United States Donald Trump, for your decision to declare Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terror organization,” Netanyahu wrote. “Thank you for responding to another one of my important requests, that serves our interests and the interests of regional countries.”

We have taken steps forward to the war described in Ezekiel 38-39 and here is why. Not only has the US and Israel enraged the world, God has attacked the nations involved in this future war. Here is a synopsis of what has happened:
Iran—they put a curse on Israel and the US and God has sent flooding described as the worse in their history. There is devastation in 24 of their 31 provinces.
Turkey: “Turkey’s local elections dealt Erdogan and the AKP a series of shocking defeats across the country, including the loss of the capital Ankara and, so it appears, that of Istanbul, the nation’s largest city.”
Israel is made up of two groups of people. Zionists who want to annex Judea and Samaria are the group that has been in power under Benjamin Netanyahu for several years. The other group is made up of non Zionist parties against Israel moving to live in the land promised to them by God. They are in rebellion against God’s will. As I am writing this, it looks like that the Zionist parties will win the election in Israel. God will cause the people to annex Judea and Samaria. The Palestinian Authority has always been against Israel even existing, here is an article about that.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who is often described by Western media outlets and officials as a “moderate” and “pragmatic” Arab leader, shares the view that Israel is nothing but a “colonial project.” In a speech before PLO delegates in Ramallah last year, Abbas quoted Egyptian intellectual Abdel-Wahab El-Messiri, saying: “The functional nature of Israel means that it was evoked by colonialism in order to fulfill a specific function, and thus it constitutes a colonialist enterprise that has nothing to do with Judaism.”

There is a move against the Peace Plan being put forward by President Trump. The reason is that they believe the plan calls for Israel to annex most of Judea and Samaria, abandoning the two state solution. The Muslim States started a movement, here is some quotes from an article about that:

“The latest effort came in the form of an online campaign called “The International Anti-Normalization Campaign.” The campaign clearly aims to send a warning not only to ordinary Arabs and Muslims, but also to their leaders, about the “dangerous repercussions” of making peace with Israel. Recognizing Israel’s right to exist is also seen by many Arabs and Muslims as a humiliation to their values, their culture, their political power and their economic traditions. They have been educated to see Israel as an alien body and a “colonial project” planted in the Middle East by Western powers. They therefore cannot accept the presence of Jews — in what they regard as their own sovereign state — on lands they believe belong solely to Muslims.”

This article clearly outlines why I have been saying that conditions are ripe for war. Trump has abandoned the two state solution because it is foolish. It is the occasion for God to move the nation of Israel to do what they should have done in 1967. God is on the move and we are watching Bible Prophecy take place before our eyes.

The threats to Israel have increased the last few weeks also. Syria has all but declared that they are going to attack and reclaim the Golan Heights thru war. Hamas reacted to the election like this: “A senior leader of the Palestinian terror group Hamas on Wednesday dismissed the outcome of Israel’s election as irrelevant, “All parties are faces of one coin, the coin of occupation,” said Khalil al-Hayya. Iran is well, the usual hater of all Jews and the nation of Israel. They had another rally where they shouted death to Israel and death to America. The nations that are going to attack Israel in the Gog Magog war are all in melt down modes. Libya is melting down with riots and an article yesterday said, “As Libya Implodes, Hold those Responsible Accountable–U.S. forces are being removed from Libya as that country descends further into bloody and destructive civil war, spiking oil prices and risking further regional instability.”
As Israel’s spacecraft gets ready to land on the moon, we see how God is blessing Israel. “Seven weeks after Israeli spacecraft Beresheet (Hebrew for Genesis) soared into the night sky at Cape Canaveral, Florida, commencing an epic 6.5 million km. journey, it is poised to make history on Thursday evening when it reaches the Moon. Only three countries have completed the formidable task of landing a spacecraft on the lunar surface – the United States, Russia (then the USSR) and China. The tiny State of Israel is set to join that prestigious club…”
There are not many nations who can land on the moon and Israel just did it. God is blessing the world thru Israel and the world will reject it. Eventually, anti-Christ will rise to lead the world to destroy what God is doing. Stay firm in your faith, the rapture of the church is around the corner.

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.
