Zionism, the restoration of Israel, the false Koran and the Supernatural, Part I I

There is a supernatural spirit that has been manipulating those open to it or rather them...since the fall of mankind took place. While we are in day to day life that spirit can be difficult to spot unless the Holy Spirit is guiding you through your life. As we look back in history it becomes more apparent.

For instance,  many of America's founding fathers were Masons. Did this make them evil men? I don't think so. Did it make them puppets...absolutely. But they and the general population at that were not aware of it. Yet when we look at Washington D.C. we can now clearly see the Masonic symbols in the layout of the city that forms a pentagram, the Washington monument that is the phallic symbol of Nimrod and so much more. You can look up the background to that city and its Masonic roots for yourself as that is not the focus of this article. My point is that it is a supernatural spirit at work behind the scenes that is at war with God and therefore us as well. It never rests as it has no need of rest, its extremely intelligent, it was around BEFORE the birth of mankind and therefore has a supreme knowledge of mankind's nature, it loathes us and the closer we are to God the more its hatred for us grows.

Because God loves Israel so very much...He calls her the apple of His eye...Israel is this spirits prime directive to destroy and take its seat in the most Holy and beloved place on Earth...instead of God. It wants to crush God by crushing EVERYTHING that God loves. That is supremely evil and THAT is what we are at war with. And without God in your life you have NO chance of outwitting this spirit and surviving. Now back to the story.

When the these Arab nations wage war against Israel, its with Russian planes, tanks and rifles, it was then and it is now. The Russians were pouring billions of dollars of weapons into the Arab world so that they could fight three major wars against Israel in 1956, 1967 and 1973. And now they are doing it again so that Iran can make a stand against the U.S..

Oddly, when the first votes were being taken in the fledgling United Nations, the Soviet Union joined with the Allies in supporting the partition of the so called Palestine into Jewish and Arab sections. But by the time of the Israeli-Arab conflict that took place in 1956, the Soviet Union had aligned themselves with Egypt and the other Arab nations. Now, Its not hard to explain how Communism was opposed to Christianity, but how are the atheistic Communists able to could cooperate with the monotheistic Muslims, and vice versa? Once again we see this spirit manipulating mankind to do its bidding, because left to their own ideals and beliefs they could never have worked together or seen eye to eye about anything.

Millions of Jews resided in Russia and lots of them wanted to emigrate back home to Israel. The Soviet government  was turning down their applications left and right and because of that thousands
of Jews came to be known as “refuseniks”. Because of the denials that were being issued Russia became the new Egypt and the international cry arose once again, “Let My people go”!

So the Arab nations became clients of the Soviet Union who were pouring thousands of tons of military supplies, planes, tanks, rifles and support equipment into the Arab areas surrounding Israel. Remember the Cold War? These were also of course used in the major conflicts of 1956, 1967 and 1973 and in the many, many terrorist activities by the PLO and other extremist groups. As I said, this is still happening today and will continue this way until our King returns and steps on the throat of Satan and his cohorts.

After the fall of the Soviet Union the Russians have shown a disturbing political schizophrenia. Some of them seem to desire the blessings of freedom and democracy and some even became Christian. But there were and are many political and military leaders (like Putin) who miss the power and prestige of the old system. Some of the Russian generals and much military weapons have found their way into havens such as Iran (Persia). There has been a rise also of anti-Semitism along with a rise in Muslim nationals in Russia. The current pressure on several million Jewish people in Russia is growing at an alarming rate.
So as I said our Lord's word, the Bible, calls Israel and its people the Chosen Nation, the storehouse of the
Covenants, the seed line of Messianic Hope, the builders of the divinely approved Temple, home to the prophets of God and the capital nation of the returning King of Kings and His bride

Once our Lord has removed His bride via the promised Rapture He will then begin His works of judgment and wrath in the Tribulation. Upon His second coming will be the establishment of His kingdom in Jerusalem, Israel and ultimately the world. Even though the Church age has not yet ended we are so close to the point of the rapture and the restoration of Israel that we can now see the preparations for the events of the Tribulation beginning to play out.

Israel has fought four major wars during the last seventy years and each of these has played an important role in setting the stage for the prophesied events of the coming Tribulation:

1.     1947-48  War of Independence: the restoration of Israel
2.     1956     Suez Canal: assertion of national sovereignty
3.     1967     Six-Day War: recapture of the Temple Mount
4.     1973     Yom Kippur War: solidified West Bank occupation
 


All these wars though relatively minor in comparison with the World Wars were still major for Israel’s survival with the Satanic strategy to destroy Israel with the Arab armies which were mostly armed by the Russians. But God protected His Chosen Nation through the sacrificial dedication of the Jewish people despite her sin of not recognizing her Savior. With the support of the United States and a handful of other nations also backing her due to interventions of God plying men's hearts, she was able to thrive again. In the end...ALL nations will turn against her and desert her. As each one does this they will face the wrath of God for turning against the apple of His eye. By the way, those who belong to God...anyone who He has called, so does He also defend with ferocity. Therefore, use great care when coming against someone because God defends His own like the Lion of Judah that He is!

Lord has promised many good and wonderful things including the Rapture of His bride, the return of Christ to the earth, the Millennial Kingdom and an eternal New Jerusalem, our home. There are also very devastating events in the divine forecast such as the War of Gog and Magog, the Great Tribulation and the War of Armageddon.The war described in Ezekiel 38–39 predicted as occurring in the last days...our time, is the Gog/Magog war and there are some similarities with the Battle of Armageddon. But there are enough differences to conclude that it is a different battle altogether must be seven years before Armageddon. This timing places it at the beginning of the Tribulation. One scenario is that this war known as the Gog and Magog War would occur between the Rapture of the Church and the beginning of theTribulation. But this is pure speculation because no man knows the day or hour of the rapture...NOT EVEN the son!

In the War of Gog and Magog the nation to the north of Israel (Magog) organizes an invasion of Israel and has been interpreted as being Russia, which is to the extreme north of Israel. But Russia does not act alone. This Bear of the north forms an alliance with several Muslim nations surrounding Israel, these are Persia, Ethiopia, Libya, Syria, Moab, Edom and Egypt. These countries are predominantly Muslim nations who join together to destroy Israel. The Russo-Islamic Alliance attacks Israel in an invasion with overwhelming forces. And as we can so plainly see today this Alliance is completely convinced that it cannot lose in a conflict with the relatively puny nation of Israel...they plan to wipe her off the face of the map as the president of Iran has stated.

But they have made a serious miscalculation. They have not taken into account that the Lord, God of  Abraham, Issac and Jacob has promised to protect Israel and repel this very invasion. It will not be the
soldiers of Israel who are going to accomplish this victory but the supernatural power of the Almighty Lord!

To the amazement of Israel and of the world the invasion with its overwhelming numbers and resources is a total failure. The invaders suffer an 85% casualty rate. (Ezek. 39:2) Dead soldiers and military debris are littered all over the country, while the relatively tiny army of Israel comes through the battle virtually unscathed. Praise God! In the aftermath the Jewish nation has to devote seven whole months to cleaning up the countryside of dead bodies. (Ezek. 39:11–12). God also states that they make of the use of the military debris left behind and Israel will use this trash for fuel for a period of seven years. (Ezek. 39:9–10) Imagine the size of the military that it belonged to...God is so awesome!

Once this war takes place with the disappearance of the Church either before or after via the Rapture the stage is now set for the rise of the Antichrist (the Beast) and the False Prophet then the wrath of God begins.
The war of Gog and Magog will come to pass just as the Lord has predicted in His time and in His way.

Satan has fought this biblically prophesied restoration every step of the way and the fury of Satan to stop this third restoration of the Jews to their land will match all he did to keep the first and second restoration from happening. Throughout all this time Israel has been the center of the divine plan of God's history...making it ours as well. While nations have risen and fallen, kings and presidents have come and gone and the church has evangelized, apostatized and even in some cases become heretical throughout the world, God's plan for Israel remained the only constant.

The U.N. and American Presidents daddy Bush and Bill Clinton all pushed hard on Israel to cease the building of settlements. I am ashamed that our government has had a strong hand in forcing Israel to relinquish control over strategic and very important parts of their land that the Almighty has given to them. Woe to them that put asunder what God has joined, they will come to no good end! Islam is the sworn enemy of Israel and  if the Jewish people had or do wish to negotiate away their security and portions of their land that God has given to them, that is between them and the Almighty. But no one else should be engaged in forcing any such measures on Israel and everyone should be coming to her rescue. Doing anything short of helping her comes
dangerously close to cursing Israel and Yahweh warns that He will curse those who curse her.  We, who belong to the Christ, our Redeemer, should separate ourselves from governmental policies and powers that impose these burdens and demands on Israel in the name of peace, which is a farce.

Our Head, our Husband and our Friend is the Son of God Himself. We will reign Him and rule with Him and our 12 Founding Apostles will rule over the 12 tribes of Israel. The angels will study us as the greatest exhibit of God’s grace and we will actually judge the angels. This is our destiny and I would not trade my position in the Body of Christ with any creature in the universe! So why  be disturbed over what God has promised the Jewish people? Why be jealous of the destiny of Israel and the honors and titles bestowed upon her by God? This will be God's and the churches finest and most distinctive hour when Israel is restored nationally and
spiritually to our Lord at the Second Coming of Christ. That is when Satan and his demonic angels are once and for all defeated! Satan can no longer stand before God's throne accusing anyone because he is now the accused, judged and jailed one...it is done! We will return here from Heaven with Him and be His glorious Bride to rule Israel and the world. What an amazing honor!

Its important that we recognize what the Lord is doing with Israel right now and rejoice in these developments knowing with full assurance that our own redemption draws ever closer. This should make us push on all the more to proclaim the blessings of His Gospel to a lost world as the days draw closer and closer to His return.
Keep your eyes on the skies and your ears tuned for that long awaited, wondrous Shofar blast proclaiming:

OUR KING HAS ARRIVED!

Zionism, the restoration of Israel, the false Koran and the Supernatural, Part I

Zionism. We have all heard the rhetoric about it, but if your like me you really don't understand what it means...you probably have a vague idea it has something to do with Christianity and support of Israel but beyond that I was clueless too.

So I decided to go way back and see if I could find out the whole story on Israel. From the dispersion of the twelve tribes out into the whole world and then the "new Israel" that was formed again. Throughout the Dispersion, there have always been some Jewish people living in the area that is now called Israel. They seemed to live in Galilee but occasionally some were also able to get to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall in Jerusalem. The conviction in both Christianity and Judaism was that the Jews would one day return in number to the homeland at the "end times".

But there was no serious movement back to the homeland until the Zionists began to organize their movements in the last part of the 19th century. Zionism in the 20th century has brought home more than a million of the world’s 15 million Jews which are now living in the Promised Land just as it was foretold in the Bible!

So what Is Zionism? Zionism is a religious, sociological and political movement that promotes the return of the Jewish people to the Land of Israel. It's religious because its based on the Biblical promises and rabbinic interpretations about the restoration of Israel.

Its sociological too because the attraction of the promised land alone probably wouldn't have motivated the Jewish people to return.They would have had to leave their homes, businesses and probably relatives and friends to undertake the hardships of pioneering life in a harsh and new environment. But Israel started to be seen a safe haven to which they could escape from the age-old persecution they constantly faced in other parts of the world. The motivating persecutions of the19th century started with the encounters with Russia and Eastern Europe and came to a terrorizing head in the Nazi death camps.

Zionism is also a political movement. Would these nations who had and still do persecute the Jews now become their defenders and friends because they had returned home? Uh...nope! For there to be a valid return there would have to be a new Israel with its own government and its own army for protection.

It took all the organizational skills not to mention supreme intelligence, hard work and bravery of the returned Jewish people to create their economy, their democratic government and their dependable army. To the
amazement of the world peaceful Jews forged an army of citizens that has become a military wonder. This small but mightily skilled army has waged four full-scale wars and a slew of lesser battles in a hostile Arab environment that the Russian Communist empire supported and still supports for today.

It has taken all this to entice millions of Jews to return to home again, build up their economy and protect Israel from its many enemies.  But she did it...just as God said she would!

The Balfour Declaration was announced by the British Government in 1917 and it was monumental in the development of Zionism. God used this declaration in the restoration of new Israel just the way He used the Declaration by the Persian King Cyrus in the restoration of Israel after the Babylonian Captivity.

Here is the declaration of King Cyrus (Ezra 1:1–4):

Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, so that the word of the
Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the Lord stirred up the
spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all
his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,

Thus saith Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven hath given me
all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house
at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

Who is there among you of all his people? His God be with him, and let
him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the Lord
God of Israel (he is the God), which is in Jerusalem.

And whoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of
his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with
beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in
Jerusalem.

Here is the Balfour Declaration:

His Majesty’s Government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the right and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country. November 2, 1917.

An interesting note: Even though Balfour had accomplished many significant achievements in the British
government, it is said that on his deathbed he felt the most important thing he had accomplished in his life was the Declaration to encourage the resettlement of the Jewish people in their homeland.

Apparently some Jewish leaders were worried that the British recognition of a Jewish return to Palestine (the Arabs dubbed the land of Israel as Palestine) might adversely affect their status as citizens in England and other countries. So when they had the wording that they considered safe, it was sent to President Woodrow Wilson for approval. President Wilson readily agreed to the proposal and advised the British government that it met with the approval of the American government. Isn't it strange, how America and England seem to consult with each other for approval even though we fought them for our self same freedom! In ancient times God used political events in the transition of power from Babylon to Persia in the time of Daniel to restore Israel to the Land.

The Balfour Declaration was all that was needed to increase the tiny trickle of Jews returning home to a veritable tidal wave. This was the beginning of the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and this meant that the time for the judgment of Satan and the establishment of our Beloved's kingdom on earth was and is coming ever closer. The long divine process of returning the Dry Bones to the Land was actually under way.

During the Tribulation Satan will be cast out of heaven and his time will be short. He is already lashing out against Israel. I believe we saw a preview of this hatred in the unfolding of the terrible Nazi Holocaust. Of approximately 18 million Jews in the world at that time he was able to kill 6 million of them. Hitler singled out the Jews for extinction in the way that I believe that false prophet will act in the end towards Christians. They died along with millions of other civilians and soldiers through the Nazi-inspired Axis of Evil during WW II. The Nazis killed one third of the Jewish people in the world during the Holocaust. This is a bitter taste of the future and what the Antichrist and False Prophet will do to the Jews AND Christians in the Tribulation.

But of course Satan failed, as he always does, in stopping the creation of Israel. As a matter of fact as what so often happens to him, Satan’s plan backfired. Because instead of keeping the Jews from returning to the
promised land the Holocaust convinced the Jews that it was THE ONLY safe place to be! They must have their own sovereign state in a world in which anti-Semitism and Satan's hatred surrounded them.

The earlier tidal wave of Jewish migration into Israel/Palestine now became a tsunami after the Holocaust. Hundreds of thousands of Jews were now desperately striving to escape from Europe and other countries to get to their homeland.

When the critical votes in the U.N. and diplomatic recognition came in 1947–8, the major powers were prepared to back the infant State of Israel. But the Arab and Muslim nations were upset with the British for allowing the Jews to come to their so called Palestine in such large numbers. The British were heavily dependent (even then) on petroleum from the Middle Eastern countries. What else is new? Wouldn't you think that by now they would have come up with an alternative, being as there are so many out there? Why be dependent on these very volatile people for anything? But I digress. London was under major pressure from the Arabs to stop or at least limit the immigration of Jews into Palestine to only a few thousand a year. They were interdicting boatloads of Jews and holding them on the island of Cyprus during this debate.

The most famous story of this is about a ship called Exodus, a bedraggled vessel that held hundreds of Jewish
refugees fighting to escape post-war Europe and get to Israel/Palestine. But when they arrived in the harbor the British government forced them to turn around and escorted this ship to the Isle of Cyprus where they were then put into concentration camps and held until a determination could be made. Nice huh? What tragic irony there was for the poor Jews to escape from the death camps of the Nazis only to find themselves in British detention camps in Cyprus. Well, its coming here soon too...they have the camps all ready for us with incinerators, coffins, bars and even a booklet with the so called rules we will be following in their slave labor camps. History does not lie, they can and will do it again.

The new Israel did not take this lightly. They began an intensive campaign to remove the British army from the area, and to declare an independent State of Israel....hmmm sounds familiar. Now they were waging a diplomatic campaign along with a guerrilla warfare campaign to get the British government out of the region. After awhile the British agreed to withdraw and in 1947 the U.N. voted to partition Palestine into an Israeli section and an Arab section. Israel then declared independence.

Now that Israel had actually become an independent nation Satan was really determined that this new nation was going to die at its birth and he had two very willing allies in the fanatical Muslim Arabs in the surrounding nations and the Soviet Union. The Arab nations did not and do not recognize or accept the U.N. partitioning of Palestine into the Jewish and Arab sections. When Israel declared independence, their Arab neighbors declared war on Israel and in the first months of its existence the Jewish people had to defend themselves
with the very meager weapons they had against an onslaught of the combined armies standing against them. But God is always on their side and that is all they really need.

The fanatical Muslims would not tolerate an official Jewish presence in Palestine and especially in Jerusalem. Islam considers the Temple Mount with its famous Dome of the Rock and Al Aksa Mosque the most
sacred holy sites ranking behind only the sites of Mecca (where they worship their black cube) and Medina.

The development of the religion of Islam in the seventh century was one of the great master strokes of Satan in the world, if he has any. Interestingly before Islam, the vast Arab population and much of Africa and Asia was essentially neutral toward passive Judaism and evangelistic Christianity. With the religion of Mohammed came a rejection of and a negative attitude toward the truths of the Old and New Testaments. The Koran deliberately removes Israel from its historical and theological position as the Chosen Nation and people and replaces it with the Arab people, the descendants of Ishmael. One annual feasts of Islam is called  ISHMAEL and demonstrates this. They now actually twist the Scriptures and celebrate this feast as a commemoration of the willingness of Abraham to offer Ishmael and NOT Isaac to God. So according to Islam, Ishmael and the Arabs displace Isaac and the Jews as the promised seed out of which many nations would rise.

Further, the Koran considers Jesus to be a prophet but denies the deity of Christ, the redeemer. It rejects the substitutionary atonement of the death of our Lord as well as His resurrection. The Koran invents the theory that Jesus did not die on the Cross but rather only “swooned” or fell unconscious and then later recovers and
pretends to have risen from the dead, making Him a great deceiver...which is one of Allah's many names. Now who do YOU know by THAT name? The religion of Mohammed became a major problem for the biblically based Judaism and Christianity. This was exacerbated when Islam occupied Jerusalem and made it one of its main holy places. Now there are three religions competing over the territorial rights to Jerusalem.

For hundreds of years God has been laying the groundwork for the restoration of Israel in preparation for the Second Coming of Christ and Satan has been fighting that restoration every step of the way. Its really an
amazing thing when you think that at the same time God was developing the early stages of that restoration  Satan was also busy organizing a counter movement to try to stop that restoration and once Israel was a nation again, to destroy it. You can clearly see the Principalities and Powers that we fight against when looking back at history like this.

What we cannot see is far more powerful than what we can. That is why we must all draw close to God at this time and pray to be counted worthy to not have to face His wrath. There is much more to this story and I will continue it in part two. This will give you a much better understanding of what is transpiring right now. God bless and keep you all safe.
