I Will Bless Those Who Bless You And Curse Those Who Curse You.
"And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it". (Zechariah 12:3)
The situation is now so bad that Israel, for the first time in its existence, actually recognizes that the United States may not in fact “have its back.” The fact that Israel can no longer rely on the backing of the United States is being talked of today, on Sky News for example, and just in passing, as if it was obvious to all that America no longer is going to act as the security guarantors of the Jewish State.
Like a Flood
It is said in the Bible that when the end comes it will come, “…as a flood.” (Daniel 9:26).
This means that, birth pains aside, when God decides the actual period of the end has been reached things will happen very, very quickly. They will happen like a flood. Noah preached for over 100 years to a disbelieving world that judgment was coming and when the end did come, it happened unbelievably quickly.
God Himself called time on that world and decided that Noah would preach repentance no more and it was God Himself who shut the door of the Ark after shepherding the family aboard. Then, in a very short space of time, it was all over. The rains came and swept all mankind away, except Noah and his family who were safe in the Ark, an obvious picture of Jesus delivering the Church during the Tribulation period.
So with Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah. When the end came it happened quickly and was over almost in an instant, (Genesis 19). Prior to this judgment angels visited Abraham warning of this destruction, one of who is almost certain to be the pre-incarnate Jesus Christ. Abraham pleaded for the life of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Ultimately, only Lot and select members of his family were delivered from the wrath of God and when the end came, it came swiftly and the destruction was so total and complete that even today we know the general area of Sodom and Gomorrah, we do not know the exact location because there is nothing left.
The prophetic clock has lurched forward. The situation between Obama and Netanyahu is now irrevocable. Obama worked very publicly against Netanyahu during this election and it is an open secret that he despises him. Netanyahu likewise was known to have written off relations with America should he win this new term in office.
There is a fire storm coming between the United States and Israel. Both nations are being led by individuals whose trajectories put them on a direct collision course. I believe that Benjamin Netanyahu has been raised up by God to be the leader of Israel during this period in history and I can see difficult times ahead for the Jewish State in the immediate future. He is possibly the Churchill for his own age and is one of the very few people in the world who actually knows and understands the dangers Israel face in the multi-threat environment it finds itself in.
But Israel is not subject to the norms of military history because Israel will be defended by God Himself and I believe that God is turning His face once again back to the Jewish people. I believe that He is going to allow them to go to a place of international isolation where their only remaining option is to look to the God of the ages for their own deliverance.
I believe this in itself is a strong indicator that the end of the Church Age is approaching, rapidly.
Barack Obama has set himself in direct opposition to a man, I believe, is God’s current chosen leader of Israel. Not only that but Obama has worked actively and aggressively to unseat him and influence the very nature of Jewish society.
Obama has stated that in his remaining tenure as President of the United States he intends to aggressively pursue a peace settlement between the Palestinians and Israel. This will not happen now under Netanyahu yet Obama continues to actively plan to divide Israel and Jerusalem. He has made no secret of this.
I can almost hear the pages of history turning.
Jesus tells us that when we see these things beginning to come to pass we should, “…lift up our heads, for our salvation draws nigh…” (Luke 21:28).
I think we should all be looking up.
