“I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. I will plant them in their land, And NO LONGER SHALL THEY BE PULLED UP FROM THE LAND I HAVE GIVEN THEM,” Says the LORD your God.” (Amos 9:14-15) The Lord says if the SUN STOPS SHINING and the MOON and STARS no longer GIVE LIGHT, “…then shall the offspring of Israel CEASE FROM BEING A NATION BEFORE ME FOREVER.” (Jeremiah 31:35-36)
On May 14th, 1948, Israel became a nation, then the armies from the states of Arabs: Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Egypt invaded the state of Israel immediately within a few days after the declaration. But Israel was successful at defeating the Arabs. Because God said, “NO LONGER SHALL THEY BE PULLED UP FROM THE LAND I HAVE GIVEN THEM.” Even though, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said that Iran has up to 150,000 missiles pointed at Israel, according to the semi-official Iranian FARS news agency. In other news, The United Nations General Assembly passed more resolutions critical of Israel than against ALL OTHER NATIONS COMBINED in 2022, contributing to what observers call an ONGOING LOPSIDED FOCUS ON THE JEWISH STATE at the world body.
Why is this all happening? The Lord says, “For behold, in those days and at that time, when I RESTORE THE FORTUNES of JUDAH and JERUSALEM, I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, ON BEHALF OF MY PEOPLE AND MY HERITAGE ISRAEL, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up MY LAND…” (Joel 3:1-2) The people of Israel are GOD’S PEOPLE and Jerusalem is GOD’S LAND.
Israel has REJECTED JESUS as their Messiah, so they will be left behind at the “catching away” or “rapture” of the church. “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until THE ANOINTED ONE (Jesus), the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens (weeks of years),’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler (the anti-christ) who will come will CONFIRM A COVENANT with many (Israel in the rebuilt Temple of God) for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.” (Daniel 9:26-27) Israel will realize they WERE DECEIVED and “The woman (Israel) fled into the wilderness to a place PREPARED FOR HER BY GOD, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.” (Revelation 12:6) The last half of the tribulation.
