Answer 6

Israel and Jerusalem:

The Road To Armageddon



"I (God) will bless those who bless you (Israel) and will curse those who curse you"

(Gen 12:3)



The Bible warns the destiny of the World is inseparable from Israel and Jerusalem. The Bible says God would one day re-gather the children of Israel back into their land from among many nations around the world ... the Bible says they would be re-gathered in unbelief ... God warns He is not re-gathering them into their Land because they deserve it, but because His Name and His word are at stake (see Ezekiel 36:17-23) ... the Bible warns God would then make Jerusalem a world trouble spot ... the Bible says all nations of the world will turn against Israel ... the Bible warns that during this time 'Gaza will be forsaken' ... the Bible warns a coming world leader (the 'Antichrist') will rise out of 10 nations which once formed the Roman Empire and will enforce a peace plan (a covenant or treaty) upon Israel ('upon the many' - for many in Israel will be against it) ... and then, after a 3½ year false peace, God warns He will send the children of Israel (and all the nations of the world) through a fiery trial unlike anything in the history of the world, to separate the unfaithful unbelievers from the faithful believers (the coming 'Apocalypse') ... the Bible warns two-thirds of the people of Israel will be 'cut off and die' for their unbelief ... then, one day when the armies of the world will gather in and around nation Israel (the coming battle of Armageddon) and when all seems lost for the children of Israel, the Bible says a believing remnant will recognize their Messiah from Scripture (Messiah) and will call upon His Name (Messiah's return). The Bible says all of the covenants, promises, curses, prophecies, and blessings God has made to the children of Israel will be fulfilled . . .





First ...



"Thus says the Lord God:

' Surely I will take the children of Israel

from among the nations,

wherever they have gone,

and will gather them from every side

and bring them into their own land."

['Nations' (plural)...this is not their return from Babylon]



The Bible warns a series of events (which will change the world forever) would begin after Israel would once again become a sovereign Nation (after almost 2,500 years) . . . This remarkable event took place on May 14, 1948! How has the world reacted to such a profound fulfillment of Bible prophecy? A miracle that can be documented by simply looking at the Bible and a map. It has ignored it! Just as God warned most of the world will ignore the signs of the coming 'Apocalypse' (also called 'the time of Jacob's trouble', the 'Great Tribulation,' and 'the Day of the Lord.'). Remember, God uses prophecy to prove He is who He says His is, and to authenticate all the warnings and the promises found in the Bible . . .





Then, after Israel has become a Nation once again, God warns . . .



"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling [anger, fear]

unto all the people [nations] round about . . ."

(Zech 12:2)





"And in that day [the 'Day of the Lord' ... the coming 'Apocalypse']

I [God] will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people"

(Zech 12:3)



Don’t miss this . . . God says He is the One stirring things up!





Then, the struggle for 'Peace' and 'Security' . . .

Beware of 'Peace Plans' or 'Roadmaps to Peace!'



"For when they say 'Peace' and 'Safety'

sudden destruction will come upon them"

(1 Thess 5:3 . . . Also see Jeremiah 6:14)





Then, a terrible warning: 'Gaza Will Be Forsaken' . . .

(The recent 'uprooting' of the Jews from Gaza the world watched on the news may be a much more 'significant' prophetic event than most realize . . .



In the book of Zephaniah, God warns Gaza would one day be forsaken (yes, that same Gaza you have recently been watching on the world news). Gaza is in the land which was given to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:1-12), and one of Messiah's titles is 'The Lion of the Tribe of Judah." The Bible links the forsaking of Gaza to the coming 'Apocalypse,' which is also called 'The Day of Wrath' and the 'Day of the Lord's Anger." In the following passages, God wants the children of Israel and all people on Earth to know three (3) things . . .





1. First, God has issued a terrible warning and a 'plea' to both the children of Israel and to all people on Earth . . .



"Gather yourselves together,

Yes, gather together O undesirable nation

(the nation who would willingly try to give God's land to her enemies)

Before the decree is issued,

Before the day passes like chaff,

Before the Lord's fierce anger comes upon you,

Before the day of the Lord's anger comes upon you!

Seek the Lord, all you meek of the Earth

who have upheld His justice (this will be a global judgment)

Seek righteousness,

Seek humility.

It may be that you will be hidden

In the day of the Lord's anger." (The coming 'Apocalypse.')





2. God wants all in Israel and on Earth to know what will help trigger this fierce and righteous anger: Gaza!!! He warns, 'Gaza will be forsaken' ... her inhabitants (the children of Israel) will be 'uprooted' and 'driven out' . . .



"For Gaza shall be forsaken,

And Ashkelon desolate;

They shall drive out Ashdod at noonday,

And Ekron shall be uprooted.

Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast,

The nation of the Cherethites!

The word of the Lord is against you,

O Canaan, land of the Philistines (Palestinians):

"I [God] will destroy you;

So there shall be no inhabitant."





3. God also wants all to know there is Hope. He promises hope for all those who will wait in faith and trust in His Messiah, Yeshua-Jesus ... for one-day in the future, after the coming 'Apocalypse' ... the 'Day of God's Wrath' ... the terrible coming 'Day of the Lord' (see below), a remnant of the tribe of Judah will once again peacefully inhabit and prosper in that precious land God promised and gave to them ... and then, and only then, will there be 'peace on Earth.' For at that time, our Messiah and God will restore all the Earth in peace and beauty ... as promised.



"The seacoast shall be pastures,

With shelters for shepherds and folds for flocks.

The coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah;

They (the remnant of the house of Judah)

shall feed there flocks there (coastlands of Gaza);

In the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening.

Then the Lord their God will intervene for them,

And return their captives."

(Zephaniah 2:1-7)





Then, the coming 'Apocalypse' - the 'Great Tribulation' - Armageddon

Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah warns . . .



Jesus (Yeshua) warns ...

"For then there will be great tribulation such as has not been

since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.

And unless those days were shortened,

no flesh (on Earth) would be saved."

(Matt 24:21-22 NKJ)



Jesus (Yeshua) warns us that never in the history of Mankind has there been anything as terrible on Earth as the coming 'Apocalypse,' the 'Great Tribulation' - and only a small remnant of the world will survive. (See the prophecies of the 'Apocalypse')





"For I [God] will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem,

[This is remarkable ... since we are seeing all nations turning against Israel.]

the city [Jerusalem] shall be taken,

the houses rifled,

and the women ravished [brutally raped].

Half of the city [Jerusalem] shall go into captivity,

but the remnant of the people

shall not be cut off from the city."

(Zech 14:2)





"And it shall come to pass in all the Land [Israel], says the Lord,

That two-thirds of it shall be cut off and die,

but one-third shall be left in it:

[only one-third in Israel will survive ... even fewer in the world]

I will bring the one-third through the fire,

will refine them as gold is tested.

They will call on my Name,

and I will answer them.

I will say, 'This is My people';

and each one will say, 'the LORD is my God.'"

(Zech 13:8-9)





"At that time Michael [the Archangel] shall stand up,

the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people [the Jews];

and there shall be a time of trouble,

such as never was since there was a nation"

(Dan 12:1)

[Only 1/3 in Israel will survive the coming wars ... and even fewer in the world]







"Cursed be everyone who curses you [Israel],

and blessed be those who bless you [Israel]."

(Gen 27:29)

[This is a clear warning to all people/nations who curse the nation or people of Israel]





"All that burden themselves with it [Jerusalem] shall be cut in pieces,

though all the people [nations] of the earth be gathered together against it."

(Zech 12:3)

[We need to support Israel ...God gave Israel and Jerusalem to the Jews ... It’s theirs!]





"Watch therefore, and pray always

that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass,

and to stand [safely] before the Son of Man [Jesus (Yeshua)]."

(Luke 21:36)

[None of us are worthy ... Jesus is ... believe in Him and you will be counted worthy.]





"When you see all these things, know that it is near -- at the doors!"

(Matt 24:33)





"And what I say to you, I say to all 'Watch!'"

(Mark 13:37)





The Bible clearly warns there will be no peace in Israel...or the world...until Messiah returns.





God warns none of His prophecies shall fail . . .



"For I am God, and there is no other.
for I am God, and there is none like me . . .
Declaring the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times
things that are not yet done."
(Isaiah 46:9-10)





"Search from the book of the LORD, and read:

not one of these [prophecies] shall fail;

not one shall lack her mate.

For My mouth has commanded it,

and His Spirit has gathered them."

(Isaiah 34:16)





"Indeed I [God] have spoken it;

I will also bring it to pass.

I have purposed it;

I will also do it.

Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted,

who are far from righteousness . . ."

(Isaiah 46:11-12)





"Before the decree is issued, before day passes like chaff,

before the LORD'S fierce anger comes upon you,

before the day of the LORD'S anger comes upon you!

Seek the LORD,

all you meek of the Earth, who have upheld His justice.

Seek righteousness, seek humility.

It may be that you will be hidden

in the day of the LORD'S anger."

(Zeph 2:2-3)







Have a hard time believing in God? The above verses are clear . . .



Why? God is warning us . . .



Please remember, the Kingdom of Heaven is available to every man, woman, boy, and girl in this world, no matter who they are, where they live, or what they have done. It is freely offered to any and all who will receive it. Simply learn of Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah, invite Him into your life as Lord, believe He died on the Cross for all of your sins and rose from the grave (proving there is a Kingdom of Heaven ... and a Hell). Learn of Him and believe in Him . . . for He was the only one who has ever loved you enough to substitute Himself for you on the Cross. He shed His blood, suffered, and died on the Cross to save you from your sins and from the utter darkness and torment of Hell, if you will accept it, believe it, and trust in it. That is why Jesus is called Savior. He now lovingly and graciously offers you life in Heaven (and we are warned it is a "take it or leave it" proposition.) We have to consciously receive it and accept it in faith. If you sincerely admit you have sinned (which means you will need a Savior to get into Heaven) and ask Jesus to come into your life and honestly try to stop doing (and saying) those things God says are wrong, you will go to Heaven ... and with open arms and tears of joy He will receive all who will come to Him in faith and in love ... It's God's Promise!!!



The only unpardonable sin is to reject God's love and His free offer of life in the Kingdom of Heaven by rejecting Jesus (Yeshua), the Messiah, who stepped forth from Heaven (as promised) ... not to condemn the sinner, but to save the sinner (from the torment of Hell) and who willingly and lovingly shed His blood on the Cross so we can be washed clean of all our sins. The Bible warns there will be no peace in our lives until we make peace with God through His Son, Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah. The Bible also says there will be no peace in Israel or on Earth until Jesus (Yeshua), the Messiah returns . . .
