Israel: Last Days Prophecies Are Manifesting - The Warnings From God
"I will curse him who curses you"

October 20, 2023

Greg DesVoignes

Now the Lord had said to Abram:  Get out of your country , from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you.  I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.

³ I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”  Genesis 12:1-3

God's Promise To Abraham 3,000 Years Ago:  The Formation Of A Nation Called Israel In A New Land

Land promised to Abram (Source: CausualEndlishBible.com)

Israel today smaller than God's intention, including those not included in the promise that are as source of world contention and strife (Gaza & West Bank)

As seen in Genesis 12 above, Several hundred years before Israel became a nation, God told Abram (Abraham) that He was going to make a great world nation from Abraham's descendants.  God told Abraham he was to leave his own idolatrist family and country (Ur) and that he would show him this land he had promised to his descendants.  Genesis 12:1-3 is the overall plan that spanned several centuries in which the nation was finally formed when God delivered them from Egypt.  Note in the map to the left that God's overall borders of the land went from the border of Egypt in the south, all the way north to the Euphrates River.  As seen on the map to the left, this encompassed Lebanon, and much of Syria today. 

This is much larger than Israel is today as seen in the current map of Israel below the map to the left, and the areas set aside for and/or shared between what are called "Palestinians" and Israel; at least for now.  It was not to be a land shared nor divided.  It was, and still is, the land that God owns and promised to Israel.

God did take Abraham on a journey and showed him this land but also told him that entering this land to set up this new nation was not going to happen then. But it was to happen at a time when the sins of the residents of this land would come to a head (Genesis 15:16) so as to be removed from it.  So God had Abraham continue through this land and then down to Egypt.

Of this God told Abram,

⁶ But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”...

^...17 And it came to pass, when the sun went down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces. ¹⁸ On the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying:

“To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates— ¹⁹ the Kenites, the Kenezzites, the Kadmonites, ²⁰ the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, ²¹ the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.”

So again God confirms his covenant and promise to Abraham of the borders of the land he was giving his descendants and notes the peoples that lived in the land whose sins were great.  Contrary to the narrative by the enemies of Israel that the Jews were no more than "settlers" and "colonialists", God gave what God said is "His" land to Israel and were to displace those peoples there of whom some were the hybrids seen in Genesis 6.

Now Abraham had two sons; Ismael and Isaac.  Ismael was a result of Abraham and Sarah not trusting God to fulfill his promise; thus having a son, not of Sarah's womb but of her servant's, an Egyptian woman by the name of Hagar.  The promise was to be fulfilled through Isaac, which was an impossible pregnancy and birth in the eyes of man, due to Abraham's and Sarah's ages that only God could accomplish.  It is out of Jacob, a son of Isaac, that the twelve tribes of Israel came about via Jacob's twelve sons from whom the twelve tribes are named from.  And these were given the land called Israel after the Jews were delivered out of Egypt (Note: God later renamed "Jacob" to the name "Israel").  But the word tells us that the descendants of Ishmael would be the Arab nations we see today.  But even God gave a promise to them; but it did not include the land of Israel.

How Israel Would Be A Blessing To All The Nations

When we look at the state of the Middle East today and see the recent attack on Israel by Hamas and Hezbolla with Iran and probably other major countries behind the scenes, it certainly does not appear that Israel would be a blessing to the world.  But it is.  How?  It is through Israel, and in particular, the tribe of Judah, from whence the true Messaiah would come. That blessing is, Jesus.

But when we look at the history of Israel, even though they were delivered out of Egypt by the great power of God, through great miracles, and God brought them through the wilderness and gave them this promised land, they eventually rejected God and became apostate.  And that state remains until today. They were to be God's messengers to show the nations His power and even his salvation. But, they failed in this.

Thus, after many warnings and God turning them over to their enemies to discipline them for joining with the nations and their gods they were to remove from this land, God finally gave them over to the Babylonians who sacked Jerusalem, destroyed it and the temple.  God then, via the Babylonians, allowed them to be removed from this promised land and into Babylon.  Eventually these people of God would be dispersed over the entire world over centuries and became vassels to the Medo Persians, Greece, and finally Rome.

It was while Israel was under the control of Rome that, as was prophecied by the Prophets, that Jesus (by whom the world would be blessed) was born. Yet, even though he fullfilled all the prophecies of His coming and being the true Messiah, they rejected him.  Jesus lamented this before they killed him;

³⁷ “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! ³⁸ See! Your house is left to you desolate; ³⁹ for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”  Matthew 23:37-39

Because Israel rejected Jesus as their Messiah, this offering of salvation through Jesus was given to the Gentiles, the non Jews as we see in the book of Acts.  And this includes the Arabs.  This includes those who call themselves Palestinians, Iranians, Lebanese, Saudis etc.  Yet, as a whole, these nationalities have also rejected the Savior of mankind just as the Jews and much of the world has.  But these descendants of Hagar and Ishmael became the greatest enemies of Israel.  The Arabs adopted Allah as their god.  It is interesting that both the Jews and some Muslims are waiting for a Messiah; just the wrong one.  Jesus told the Jews after they rejected him;

"I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive."  John 5:43

This "another", the scripture shows us, is the anti-Christ.  The Beast of Revelation.  The false Messiah.  He will be accepted as the Messiah by Islam too, as well as the rest of the world (Revelation 13:14)

So after this rejection of Jesus by the Jews, in fulfilling the words of Jesus in John 5:43,  it was Rome who totally destroyed the temple and caused Israel to be non-existant as a nation and scattered over the earth, until....

God said here and in other prophecies that despite this rejection, he has not forgotten his covenant with Israel.  He said through Ezekiel,

"The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. ² He had me pass among them all around, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley; and behold, they were very dry.

 ³ Then He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “Lord God, You Yourself know.” ⁴ Again He said to me, “Prophesy over these bones and say to them, ‘You dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.’ ⁵ This is what the Lord God says to these bones: ‘Behold, I am going to make breath enter you so that you may come to life. ⁶ And I will attach tendons to you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin, and put breath in you so that you may come to life; and you will know that I am the Lord.’”

⁷ So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a loud noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. ⁸ And I looked, and behold, tendons were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them. ⁹ Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘The Lord God says this: “Come from the four winds, breath, and breathe on these slain, so that they come to life.”’” ¹⁰ So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.  Ezekiel 37:1-10

God explains this to Ezekiel;

"¹¹ Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the entire house of Israel; behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope has perished. We are completely cut off.’ ¹² Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘This is what the Lord God says: “Behold, I am going to open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, My people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel. ¹³ Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, My people. ¹⁴ And I will put My Spirit within you and you will come to life, and I will place you on your own land. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken and done it,” declares the Lord.’”  Ezekiel 37:11-14

²¹ “Then say to them, ‘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; ²² and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. ²³ They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God." Ezekiel 37:21-23

And this and the other prophecies were fulfilled in part when God did bring the Jewish people back to their own land (in part) and they became a nation in 1948.  It is undeniable. The flesh was revived in the land. The spiritual part has not yet happend, but it will.

Yet, at this time they are still apostate.  The rest of this prophecy has yet to be fulfilled.  I read that about 51% of Israel is secular, not even acknowledging God who is the source of their nation and being.  It was sad to see an interview recently with a young Israeli in his late teens or early 20s who was in a house with his parents when the Hamas terrorists entered the home and set off a grenade.  He said the grenade blew off his father's arm and killed his mother who fell on top of him.  He told the reporter that he kept quite when the terrorists entered, and called out "to any god who would listen" to save him.  How sad is that God's people do not know him.  It is the same in the United States though.

Paul, a Jewish Pharisee whom had a visit from Jesus and converted to Christianity, said this about Israel's apostasy;

"For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in."  Romans 11:25

But this apostacy has not negated the promises and covenant made by God, who does not break His covenants.  This promise is that there will still be a remant left of them, while in this land they are in today, that they will be His people and He will be their God again in the future.  God will remove their blindness.

The Apostle Paul addresses this in Romans 11.  Paul said

"I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. ² God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Or do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel, saying, ³ “Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life”? ⁴ But what does the divine response say to him? “I have reserved for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” ⁵ Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace."  Romans 11:1-5

And that remnant continues through time until this very day.  So let us not be ignorant of this.  It will not be destroyed.

Why The Intense Demonic Hate Of Israel?

"² Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
³ 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 12:2-3

Listen, those of you who hate and want ill to come upon Israel;

To be sure, the hatred of the Jews is, demonic.  It was started by the Prince of demons, Satan, the Devil.  It goes back to the garden in Eden with the deceiving of Adam.  God, in confronting Satan and his future, said there would be a seed of Himself (God), and a seed of Satan and they would clash with God.  It will end up with God destroying Satan and his seed (Genesis 3:15)  This hatred has to do with the Messiah coming out of the seed of the tribe of Judah.  Jesus noted this in Revelation 12;

"And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, ⁸ but they ^[a]did not prevail, nor was a place found for ^[b]them in heaven any longer. ⁹ So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him...

...¹³ Now when the dragon (Satan) saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman (Israel) who gave birth to the male Child (Jesus). ¹⁴ But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent (The last three and a half years of the Tribulation). ¹⁵   So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. ¹⁶ But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. ¹⁷ And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ (the true Christians, the true Church)

And this persecution is so prevelant today.  So, those of you who hate Israel and Christianity, are actually submitting into, and doing the desires of Satan, and are following his commands.  You are being used as pawns when you engage in hatred and persecution of the Jews. Jesus calls Satan, the "Father of lies" (John 8:44) and that he came to "kill, steal and destroy" (John 10:10). This is what is happening in Israel today with attacks of the demonically inspired and controlled Hamas, and those others who would condemn Israel but support the terrorists.

These include the protestors across many of the colleges and universities and other places.  These students, having been deceived by some of their radical professors, are ignorant of the truth and a right moral compass.  While hypocritacally preaching tolerance, they are filled with hate.  Some of these educators are like the Palestinians in Gaza who teach their children to hate Israelis.  Our high end universities and others have become breeding grounds for anti-Semitism, brainwashing these young people to their destruction.  While going to these schools to be educated in academics, they have become very ignorant, even to the point of stupid.  So sad that parents put out great amounts of money to have this happen.  So sad that the United States government gives these schools great amounts of money to turn the children into pawns of these evil people.

This hate includes those Jews who took over the Capitol Rotunda and protested against Israel.

This hatred of Israel includes the media who seems to have turned Hamas into the victims and Israel as the agressor.  How agressive were those children and their parents and grandparents in Israel?  The media spreads lies like an evil plague.  The Islamic Jihad rocket that hit behind the Gaza hospital is an example.  Their jump-the-gun false reporting fueled violent anti-Israel / U.S. protests around the world and in this country.  Yet many of them have refused to apologize.  The New York Times is a big part of this evil. And those who did say their information was wrong; well a little late on that.  Who, in the right mind would believe the reports of a terrorist?  The key here is "right mind".

This hate includes those government officials and employees in the United States of which the loudest against Israel (like the so called "Squad" of Congress).  These are those who act like they are still attached to their ancestoral nations, more than the government and the people they are supposed to represent.  Instead, they support terrorists who purposely and with personal demonic anger, killed babies, mothers, and fathers, be-headed and burned people with Satanic bruality.  But that is OK to them.  One very outspoken Congresswoman actually flies a Palestinian flag outside her office.  Another Congresswoman, who was allowed to immigrate her under false pretenses, wants Israel to be tried for war crimes but has no probem with Hamas.  Such evilness.

These foolish government officials and employees of the Biden administration, are also ignorant of God's word.  One such employee working for the U.S. Immigration system is of Palestinian descent and was a former spokesperson for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO).  This organization was categorized as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the U.K.  This employee is pro-Hamas and was blatantly supporting the terrorist attacks on her Twitter site. Her site had a cartoon of Hamas terrorist using hang gliders to fly into Israel. She has been suspended; but how is it she was hired to begin with?  And in Immigration?

This hate includes an administration that, while, with their mouth, supports Israel like Biden said in his visit to Israel, but still funds the head of the terrorists, the government of Iran.  And how is it that Secretary of State Anthony Blinken gave authorization for U.S Embassies to fly American flags at half mast to honor Palestinians killed by their own Hamas rocket by the hospital in Gaza?  That was not done after Hamas, like savage demons, brutally killed Israelis and Americans.  Hmm. It would appear this is an attempt to stop riots at American Embassies.  These are unaware (but some are aware) of what they are following and what their end is according to God's word as we will see.

By the way, there are many Iranians who are Christians and are part of the "underground" church there.  It is, as usual, the government and those whom they control by fear and lies that are the problems.

To be sure, there are certainly evil persons among the Jews and Israelis in general and in leadership.  Then there are the Bilderbergers, a globalist one world order group that includes wealthy Jews such as the Rothchilds, Rockerfellers, Soros and other non-Jewish worldwide government leaders. But God is still going to carry out his plan and his prophecies concerning them and the rest of the world.  We must take seriously the words of God when He said he would "Bless those" that bless Israel, and "Curse him " who curses Israel.  The latter is not what any of us should be part of.  Their end is not good as we will see. 

Israel has been under God's discipline for a long, long, time now.  And God has used other countries, even evil ones, to effect that discipline since he formed them.  God even calls the Tribulation Period the time of "Jacob's trouble" (Jeremiah 30:1-17, esp vs 7).  It is a period of a nightmare He will use to bring back to Him a remnant.  He called Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, his servant, because they were used to destroyed Israel. A Babylonian Captain told this to Jeremiah (Jeremiah 40:1-3).  BUT, although God used them in His discipline of Israel, God destroyed Babylon.  So people need to take heed of this.  Especially those who want Israel destroyed and hate them.

The Curse Upon Him Who Curses Israel

Ezekiel 38 and 39 speaks of a future war in which some event or just plain evil thinking will happen that will draw a coalition together of anti Israel nations that will surround and attack Israel.  What is happening now in this attack on Israel just may be the opening act for this to happen.  Now there are different views of when this will happen.  Some scholars say 38 and 39 are speaking of the final battle; Armageddon.  Others say it is prior to the Tribulation and can happen any time.  We will see....  But whenever, for the purpose of this message, it is what God says about those who would curse Israel.

We see in Ezekiel 38 the start of this war.

"Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ² “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, ³ and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. ⁴ I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. ⁵ Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; ⁶ Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.... Ezekiel 38:1-6

Now many scholars say that Gog, Magog, Rosh, Mecheck and Tubal refer to Russia.  Persia is modern day Iran. Ethiopia and Libya are what they are today.  Gomer is supposed to be some people who settled in Germany, and Togarmah is Asia Minor and Turkey.  If this is true, then something, or some event will put hooks in the jaw of the leader of Russia which turns him to fight against Israel with this coalition.  When we look at the scenario today with the coziness between Russian and Iran, and the hatred they and Turkey has against Israel, the fragile oil situation of some countries, the possibilities of this being set up are here.  While the final battle of Armageddon is the whole world and the anti-Christ against Israel, this is a coalition of specifically named.  But we shall see...

God continues,

"⁷ “Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. ⁸ After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. ⁹ You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you.”  Ezekiel 38:7-9

As we saw previously, the people of Israel were brought back into the land God gave them.  So, the time of the "latter years" are here for this to happen as God said it will.  God continues;

"¹⁰ ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: ¹¹ You will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates’— ¹² to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land.  Ezekiel 38:10-12

God said that the whole world would see that he has used this attack to glorify Himself and to show there is a God in Israel.  He said of Gog and Magog;

"¹⁵ Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. ¹⁶ You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” ¹⁷ Thus says the Lord God: “Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?  Ezekiel 38:15-17

But it is not going to end well with them, or any of the nations that come against them.  God warned;

"from the far north"  Moscow north of Israel

God says more in Ezekiel 39

"“And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I am against you, O Gog, ^[a]the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal; ² and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the far north, and bring you against the mountains of Israel.

³ Then I will knock the bow out of your left hand, and cause the arrows to fall out of your right hand. ⁴ You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you; I will give you to birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. ⁵ You shall fall on the open field; for I have spoken,” says the Lord God.

 ⁶ “And I will send fire on Magog and on those who live in security in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord. ⁷ So I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let them profane My holy name anymore. Then the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel. ⁸ Surely it is coming, and it shall be done,” says the Lord God. “This is the day of which I have spoken.  Ezekiel 39:1-8

This coalition of armies will be a done deal; totally destroyed:  Not by the power of the weapons of man, but by the power of God.  And there will not be any dispute about this.  But this destruction is not limited to just the armies, but to the peoples of the nations from whence they come.  Those persons and nations who want to destroy Israel need to heed these things.  When God said there would be a curse upon those who curse Israel, He was not just spouting idle words.  While we see those who want to "wipe Israel off the face of the earth", it will be these who will be destroyed.  There will never be a two state solution as Trump and Biden and other envision.  Those who hate Israel will always try to destroy them.  Plus, there will be no two state solution sanctioned by God.  His land will not be divided without consequences.

God said in Joel 3 while speaking of the final war,

"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

But there is more concerning cursing Israel in these last days.

"The burden against Damascus.
“Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap.
^2 [b]The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid.
³ 
The fortress also will cease from Ephraim, The kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Syria;
They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,”
Says the Lord of hosts.  Isaiah 17:1-3

There is a lot of terrorist activity by Hezbolla around Damascus in Syria at this time.  Rockets by Hezbolla have been launched against U.S. airbases in Iraq and in Syria.

And at the end of the Tribulation we see this final curse happening.  God declared;

"Behold, a day is coming for the Lord when the spoils taken from you will be divided among you. ² For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city will be taken, the houses plundered, the women raped, and half of the city exiled, but the rest of the people will not be eliminated from the city. 

³ Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. ⁴ On that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west forming a very large valley. Half of the mountain will move toward athe north, and the other half toward the south. ⁵ And you will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him!  Zechariah 14:1-5

(Note:  the "holy ones" that come with Jesus is His Church, which was removed (in the Rapture) prior to the Tribulation.  This, of course are also Jews and Muslims who have accepted Jesus, the Son of God, as their Savior.  Those who at this time just have Abraham, their same Father in the flesh, will be true brothers in the Spirit, both having Yahweh as there God and Jesus as their Savior.  This is what Satan is trying to prevent)

At this time the Jews will see what Scripture says is true; Jesus is the Messiah

"¹⁰ “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn."  Zechariah 12:10  (See also Pslams 22:16, John 19:37, Revelation 1:7)

The Curse at the end of the Tribulation on the nations against Israel explained

⁸ In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them. ⁹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.  Zechariah 12:8-9

"¹² And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem:

Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet,
Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets,
And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.

It shall come to pass in that day
That a great panic from the Lord will be among them.
Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor,
And raise his hand against his neighbor’s hand;
¹⁴ Judah also will fight at Jerusalem.

And the wealth of all the surrounding nations
Shall be gathered together:
Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance.

Such also shall be the plague
On the horse and the mule,
On the camel and the donkey,
And on all the cattle that will be in those camps.
So shall this plague be.

¹⁶ And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
 Zechariah 14:12-16

Don't Be Deceived By This Evil

Those of you who are supporting and cheering those terrorists who kill without conscience or provocation people that they hate; Don't Be Decieved!  These have built for themselves not only a physical destruction, but an eternal spiritual destruction, separated from God forever.  And cheering them to destroy Israel will not bring pleasantries to you.

 Now most of the world does not, and will not believe these things.  This is too bad, because in spite of the disbelief, it is going to happen. God is a God of His Word.   I personally can attest to this.  He healed me of Cancer and of the lung disease the Cancer medicine gave me.  Not because of any deserving thing in me, but because of his grace and mercy and I believed His Word over the words and ways of man which were destroying me.  Don't let man's ignorance and hate destroy you.

"²⁵ For I am the Lord. I speak, and the word which I speak will come to pass; it will no more be postponed; for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and perform it,” says the Lord God.’ ”  Ezekiel 12:25

A Message To Those Who Don’t Know God and His Salvation

If you are not a believer, but you just might think that there is something to what you have read here, you may want to learn more.  God does not want anyone to perish eternally, nor to even go through the Tribulation which is seven years of Hell on Earth.  Here is a place to start to learn about the salvation that God has for you.  

The ABCs of Salvation

Some people think a personal relationship with God is something only theologians can comprehend. Actually, God’s plan of salvation is simple enough for everyone to understand. Here are the ABCs of salvation.

Admit

Admit to God that you are a sinner. All persons need salvation. Each of us has a problem the Bible calls sin. Sin is a refusal to acknowledge God’s authority over our lives. Everyone who does not live a life of perfect obedience to the Lord is guilty of sin. “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23). Since none of us is perfect, all of us are sinners (Rom. 3:10-18).The result of sin is spiritual death (Rom. 6:23). Spiritual death means eternal separation from God. By God’s perfect standard we are guilty of sin and therefore subject to the punishment for sin, which is separation from God. Admitting that you are a sinner and separated from God is the first step of repentance, which is turning from sin and self and turning toward God.

Believe

Believe in Jesus Christ as God’s Son and receive Jesus’ gift of forgiveness from sin. God loves each of us. God offers us salvation. Although we have done nothing to deserve His love and salvation, God wants to save us. In the death of Jesus on the cross, God provided salvation for all who would repent of their sins and believe in Jesus. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

Confess

Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord to others. After you have received Jesus Christ into your life, share your decision with another person. Tell your pastor or a Christian friend about your decision.  If you do not go to church or have a pastor, ask God to lead you to a church that teaches truth and the gospel.  Following Christ’s example, ask for baptism by immersion in your church as a public expression of your faith. “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved” (Rom. 10:9-10).

Then take the time to learn from, and of God.  Study the Bible.  Get a New King James, New American Standard, or a King James version to begin your study.  The first two are easier reading.  The King James has more word study materials with it but the old language may be a little harder to read.

The time is short
