This is very important, bless you as you read this. -Bill Stockham
The SUPER SIGN of the last days and really the sign that sets the prophetic clock ticking is THE REGATHERING OF THE NATION ISRAEL INTO THEIR HOMELAND. “For behold, in those days and at that time, When I BRING BACK THE CAPTIVES OF JUDAH AND JERUSALEM, I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to THE VALLEY OF JEHOSHAPHAT; And I will enter into judgment with them there on account of MY PEOPLE, MY HERITAGE ISRAEL, whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also DIVIDED UP MY LAND.” (Joel 3:1-2) Jesus said, “Now learn this parable from the fig tree (Israel): When its branch puts forth leaves (May 14th, 1948, Israel once again became a nation), summer is near. So, you also, when you see ALL THESE THINGS, know that it is near—at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, THIS GENERATION (in the 90th Psalm Moses says a generation is 70 or 80 years) WILL BY NO MEANS PASS AWAY till all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” (Matthew 24:32-35)
Speaking about “DIVIDED UP MY LAND“, Biden said upon arriving in Israel. “A two-state solution. That remains, in my view, the best way to ensure the future of equal measure of freedom, prosperity, and democracy for Israelis and Palestinians alike. Let them have East Jerusalem”. WELL, GOD SAID JERUSALEM IS “MY LAND” (Joel 3:1-2), the land of Israel was promised to Abraham almost 3,000 years ago, there was no Palestine then. Roman emperor Hadrian visited Jerusalem in 130 CE and renamed the city Aelia Capitolina after himself. He occupied and ultimately destroyed Jerusalem and its surrounding Jewish communities one final time during the suppression of the Bar Kokhba Revolt in 136 CE. Hadrian changed the name of the province from Judea to PALAESTINA in an attempt to ERASE ITS JEWISH past and the threat it posed to his hold on power. Hadrian chose to name it after the PHILISTINES from the Bible, who are portrayed as the enemies of the Jews.
At about 6.30 a.m. local time, on October 7th, according to Reuters, a barrage of rocket fire began from Gaza into Israel, hitting several cities including Tel Aviv, Rehovot, Gedera and Ashkelon. Israeli soldiers said, “we found a little note in one of the terrorists’ pockets and it says there that Allah is calling them to get rid of Israel because Israel is a disease without cure, and it can NO LONGER EXIST.”
In the following days, Hamas is launching some of their missiles from hospitals, schools, daycares and where they have human shields. Conventional warfare is UNHEARD OF in dealing with them. Their goal in this battle is to see that ISRAEL NO LONGER EXISTS. Jesus said, “Now when these things begin to happen, LOOK UP and LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, because your redemption draws near.” (Luke 21:28)
Can God protect Israel? “This is what the LORD says, He who gives THE SUN FOR LIGHT BY DAY and the FIXED ORDER OF THE MOON AND THE STARS FOR LIGHT BY NIGHT…If this FIXED ORDER DEPARTS FROM ME,” declares the LORD, “THEN the descendants of Israel also WILL CEASE to be a nation before Me forever.” (Jeremiah 31:35-36) If Hamas can figure out a way to PREVENT THE SUN, MOON, AND STARS FROM PRODUCING LIGHT, THEN THEY CAN DEFEAT ISRAEL…
WHY DOES GOD HAVE SUCH A LOVE FOR ISRAEL? “When God made His promise to Abraham, GOD swore by Himself, saying, “I will surely BLESS YOU and GIVE YOU MANY DESCENDANTS.” (Hebrews 6:13) That is where Israel came from. God calls Himself. “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.” Jacob encountered an angel who said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but ISRAEL, because you have struggled with God and have overcome.” (Genesis 32:28)
“And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised. Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of His purpose very clear TO THE HEIRS of what was promised, He confirmed it with an OATH. God did this so that, by TWO UNCHANGEABLE THINGS IN WHICH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE.” (Hebrews 6:13-18) Two unchangeable things. “I will surely BLESS YOU and GIVE YOU MANY DESCENDANTS.”
Nebuchadnezzar the Babylonian king destroyed Gods temple and TOOK ISRAEL CAPTIVE for 70 years, God used King Cyrus, to rebuild Jerusalem and return the Jews to Israel. Haman a Persian General, tricked the King into signing A DEATH WARRANT FOR ALL THE JEWISH PEOPLE, God used a Jewish woman to become queen and saved them. General Titus of Rome destroyed Jerusalem, the temple, KILLED MILLIONS OF JEWS AND SENT THE REST OF THEM all over the world. Then Hitler very cruelly killed over SIX MILLION JEWS, God used America to defeat Germany and a on May 8, 1945, WWII ended. “And it shall be in that day, the Lord shall again set His hand, the SECOND TIME, to recover the remnant of His people…” (Isaiah 11:11) On May 14th, 1948, Israel became a nation with the immediate support of President Truman A leading Rabi came to the White House and told Truman that he was BORN for this time, Truman shed tears upon hearing this.
WE CAN SEE, THE SUN MOON AND STARS ARE STILL GIVING THEIR LIGHT.
SO, MAKE SURE TO ASK JESUS TO FORGIVE YOU ANY “OFFENCE” YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST HIM…
