Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: Joel 3:9 KJV
The New Living Translation renders this verse like this:
Say to the nations far and wide: “Get ready for war! Call out your best warriors. Let all your fighting men advance for the attack. Joel 3:9 NLT
JESUS’ first coming was quite peaceful compared to HIS second coming. Since October 7, 2023, all the eyes of the world have been focused on a tiny piece of real estate in the Middle East, today known as Israel and a city within its borders known as Jerusalem. The population of Jerusalem in 2023 was listed as being 970,000. Jerusalem is about 49 square miles in size or 126 square kilometers. The nation of Israel in 2023 was listed at 9,174,520, which ranks them at 98th in population among all the nations. The Prophet Jeremiah prophesied that the city of Jerusalem shall become “A cup of trembling and also a burdensome stone” when all the nations of the world come against her. (Jeremiah 12:2-3 KJV) As of right now the nations of the world are being moved like chess pieces on a chessboard. It is a deadly game playing out on the world stage between GOD ALMIGHTY and FOOLISH MAN. The Prophet Zechariah prophesied concerning Israel, “… he that toucheth you toucheth the apple [pupil] of HIS EYE.” (Zechariah 2:8 KJV)
Many people have sort of settled back since the October sneak attack on Israel’s weakest people by Hamas and we need to remember that the word Hamas means “violence.” At first most people were worried this war was the one we call Armageddon. I say it over and over Armageddon is not a war for it is the gathering place for the war between JESUS and HIS army and those of the army of the Antichrist.
And the demonic spirits gathered all the rulers and their armies to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon. Revelation 16:16 NLT
There is a massive showdown coming, but this present war is the one listed in Psalm 83 when the nations that border on Israel come first. Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 tells of the “Gog-Magog War” when the nations align against Israel. It is then when the ungodly, sinners, and heathens will know for sure that GOD still intervenes on behalf of HIS people Israel.
Pope Pius XII invented the “replacement theology,” prior to the Catholic meeting dubbed Vatican II, which took place in 1962, under then Pope John XXIII and he introduced what was called “displacement” or “substitution” theologies, which the Catholic Church called “its new covenant to replace Judaism and its old covenant,” which soon became known as replacement theology. Almost every organized church began to say that GOD rejected Israel and chose the Church to replace them. This hellish, false doctrine soon found it had problems because in 1948 Israel became a member of the nations of the world again after about 1800 years. Soon the replacement churches and preachers found it was too hard to defend such a false doctrine and yet, some still hold on to it. According to Lifeway Research about 30% of people identifying themselves as evangelical still believe the church is GOD’S chosen people now; with another 32% that are still undecided. Every sign along the way is meant to be a sign that GOD still keeps HIS COVENANT with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. “For HE keeps HIS COVENANT to a thousand generations.” (Deuteronomy 7:9 KJV) The Prophet Ezekiel said about 10 times some form of the phrase, “You will know that I AM the LORD.”
To try and satisfy their false doctrines of replacement theology, many have chosen a route they feel GOD will not judge them so harshly and it is called, “the common people view” for they say Israel no longer holds their position of “CHOSEN” to being like all other nations for they are lost and in need of salvation. The Apostle Paul raised that question with his letter to the church at Rome. (Romans 11:1 KJV) Then in verse 5 Paul called them [Israel] as being of “the election of GRACE” Grace is unmerited, unearned favor. The Hebrew word used for “GRACE” is khen, so the people of Israel have an “election of favor” awaiting them. GOD says HE will return the tribes of Israel from among the nations to honor HIS covenant promises. (Ezekiel 36:22-23 KJV) HE says HE will redeem them and give them a new heart and put HIS SPIRIT [HOLY GHOST] in them. (Ezekiel 36:24-26 KJV) Since we are “Preparing for the Grand Finale” we need to ditch every false doctrine and ideology about Israel being replaced or as being like the common nations. Some people claiming to be Christians have wrongly conceived the idea that it is our place to convert the Jews of today. GOD HIMSELF will redeem them. The Prophet Zechariah spoke of this redemption of Israel as having already taken place.
I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have [past tense] redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased. And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember ME in far countries; AND THEY SHALL LIVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND TURN AGAIN. Zechariah 10:8-9 KJV
Romans 4:17 tells us that GOD “speaks of things that be not as though they were [already].”TheHebrew word for hiss is sharaq and it has two meanings depending on how it is used in a sentence: (1) to call (2) to express contempt or scorn. (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) Then we can conclude Zechariah was saying GOD will call them from out of all the countries where they have been scattered.
Paul warned us against boasting ourselves against the people of Israel.
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. Romans 11:18 KJV
Paul used the Greek word kauchaomal pronounced [kow-khah’om-ahee] meaning “self-glory or praise.” We as Gentiles are what Paul called the “grafted in branch” (Romans11:23 KJV) and JESUS is the VINE. (John 15:5 KJV) The branches of the vine do not make it to grow and live but the ROOT of the VINE makes the branches to live and grow. The Prophet Isaiah prophesied what exactly our role is in these last days just before the “Grand Finale.” We are to support Israel through prayer and as much as we can financially to help Jews everywhere to return to their Promised Land and I know there are some that will reject this prophecy because humility is a by-gone trait.
Thus saith the LORD GOD, Behold, I will lift up MINE HAND to the Gentiles, and set up MY STANDARD [nes, sign] to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: THEY SHALL BOW DOWN TO THEE WITH THEIR FACE TOWARD THE EARTH, AND LICK UP THE DUST OF THEY FEET; AND THOU SHALT KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD: FOR THEY SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED THAT WAIT FOR ME. Isaiah 49:22-23 KJV
If that prophecy is too much for you to swallow, then you sure will not like this one.
Thus saith the LORD of HOSTS; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of ALL languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a JEW, saying, WE WILL GO WITH YOU FOR WE HAVE HEARD THAT GOD IS WITH YOU. Zechariah 8:23 KJV
JESUS went about ministering to the needs of the people even before HE presented them with salvation in HIS KINGDOM. (Acts 10:38 KJV)GOD’S plan for the people of Israel, the ones we call Jews, has not changed, for “HE is still the SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY and FOREVER.” (Hebrews 13:8/Malachi 3:6 KJV)
For thou [Israel} art an holy people unto the LORD thy GOD: the LORD thy GOD hath chosen thee [Israel] to be a special people unto HIMSELF, ABOVE ALL PEOPLE THAT ARE UPON THE FACE OF THE EARTH. Deuteronomy 7:6 KJV
All the nations mentioned in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 will invade Israel, some have different names today but we can trace them through history. This war that Ezekiel so precisely prophesied about is not a “mystery” for Ezekiel called these nations by the names he knew them. The Romans called Israel “Palestine” and they called Jerusalem “Capitoline.” When GOD reestablished HIS CHOSEN NATION the people did not allow the “filthy and ungodly words of man to remain the name of the land and the city” for they almost immediately changed it back to Israel and Jerusalem. This was a beautiful sign that we were “Preparing for the Grand Finale.”
Blow ye the trumpet [Trump] in Zion, and sound an alarm in MY HOLY MOUNTAIN: let ALL the inhabitants of the land tremble [be afraid]: FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD COMETH, FOR IT IS NIGH AT HAND.” “And I [GOD ALMIGHTY] will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, MY great army which I sent among you. Joel 2:1, 25 KJV
Notice I stressed the name of Trump for his name does also have the same root as the instrument. Every president of the United States from President Truman to President Trump [TRUMPET] promised Israel they would move the United States Embassy to Jerusalem, BUT NOT ONE OF THEM DARED TO DO SO FOR FEAR OF WORLD OPINION. President Trump sounded the alarm for he openly and fearlessly declared Jerusalem to be the “ETERNAL CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.” Since that fateful day the nations have been moving into place. Oh yeah, the Devil is angry and has launched an unprecedented attack on President Trump and his family. A lessor person would have folded long ago, but he has the same spirit as Jehu had against Jezebel and Ahab. Yes, sometimes it appears the Devil is gaining the upper hand on President Trump and his family, but keep the faith, for if you notice the ones that are his accusers are themselves becoming the accused.
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:17 KJV
The satanic lie that President Trump caused an insurrection on January 6 just because he asked Vice President Mike Pence not to certify the electoral vote count is all because the same ones that took an oath themselves to “Uphold the Constitution of the United States” apparently didn’t READ the document. The 12th Amendment allows the protest against the assumed results, and it is called the Electoral Count Act of 1887. This LAW was enacted after the 1876 election between Samuel Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes. A 15-person commission is to be set up with 5 from the House of Representatives, 5 from the Senate and 5 from the Supreme Court and in case the House and Senate can’t reach an agreement then the judges cast their votes and the winner is president. He is not above the LAW and neither is he below the LAW. Israel’s Prime Minister called President Trump, Cyrus, and GOD called Cyrus HIS Anointed One. (Isaiah 45:1-4 KJV) I gave this little history lesson because it is so important that we have a working knowledge of our rights or else the Devil will continue to work it where we vote in more and more ungodly people.
The October 7, 2023, attack on Israel by a bunch of “moon god worshipers” was explained recently by one of the Hamas [evil] soldiers. He said if Israel had not received those “red heifers” from America they would never have attacked them. It has been a little over two years ago. The red heifer sacrifice is needed for the ashes to be mixed with the former ashes and with water to sanctify the temple and the instruments and even the priests. This soldier said they were ordered to make sure Israel doesn’t get to use either one of these heifers. To me it sounds like these “moon god worshipers” know that the GOD of Israel is the real GOD while their non-existent god named allah is not real or at the least not as powerful.
The main players in the “Gog-Magog War” are Turkey, Russia, Iran (Persia) Ethiopia, and Libya. All these nations are systematically helping Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthi’s. Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared a year ago that the Temple Mount does not belong to Israel. That would be like saying that Washington. D.C. doesn’t belong to the United States. The fake people known as Palestinians also said that the renowned clock known as “Big Ben” does not belong to England. They openly said it belongs to them, just another sign the stage is being set for the Grand Finale. Daniel said the Antichrist will change dates and times, meaning they will try to rewrite history. (Daniel 7:25 KJV) Erodgan declared that he will call on all of Islam and they will ascend on the Temple Mount and take back Jerusalem. That sounds very much like Lucifer [Satan/Devil] as we can read about in Isaiah 14:12-14. Ezekiel said these “Devil-led” armies will cover the land of Israel as a cloud. (Ezekiel 38:9-12 KJV)
The drying of the Euphrates River is another sign of the “Grand Finale”. This River is about 1800 miles long and has an average width of 300 yards or about 900 feet. The Apostle John saw this vision of the Euphrates River drying up somewhere about the year 95-96 A D.
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:17 KJV
John doesn’t tell us exactly who these kings are except he gives us a hint the size of a battleship. John says their army will consist of “200,000 times 1000” which comes to at least a 200-million-man army. (Revelation 9:16-18 KJV) Strangely, When John wrote that he was probably the laughingstock of the world, for there was not that many people on the entire planet, much less in an army. However, today China, alone, can field an army that size. All those years the Chinese government only allowed a couple one child, the people of China are more patriarchal that any other nation. Many couples would abort if they found the fetus was a female for to carry on the family name is of the utmost importance. This law lasted about 25-30 years before the government granted couples can have 2-3 children now. Those one-child family babies, all males, are now in the military and China boasts a population over 3 billion, about one third of the entire population of the world. This drying of the Euphrates River will allow an almost unobstructed route for the Eastern armies to make their way to the Valley of Jehoshaphat where the “Grand Finale” occurs. GOD had told John to write about the things that were [past] and are [present] and shall be [future].
Write down what you [John] have seen—both the things that are now happening and the things that will happen Revelation 1:19 NLT
The city of Damascus, Syria is the oldest continuous operating city in the entire world. The prophet Isaiah prophesied that this city would be destroyed into nothing more than a junk pile, in the “Grand Finale” or very shortly before.
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city [as though it had already taken place], and it shall be [in the future] a ruinous heap. Isaiah 17:1 KJV
If anyone will take time to listen to some of the newscasts you will hear how Israel and occasionally some other nation will have launched plane and drone attacks on Syria. The Syrian Civil War of several years ago destroyed about one third of the city. I firmly believe that once the city of Damascus is left to be a burning heap that will trigger all the nations of the world to come against Israel. Russia is spending hundreds of billions of dollars building up Syria’s military forces. They will blame Israel and the United States for their losses. Russia then will call for all their allies to come and join them as they give Israel the “Scorched Earth Treatment.” That tactic has been tried over and over throughout history and it always ends badly for those doing it. Napoleon did it to Russia and he got defeated at Waterloo, this word has become a synonym for utter defeat. Hitler tried the same tactic against Russia and his men starved and froze before they could complete a retreat.
We have been taught and hearing for many years that GOD will rapture the Church before what we call the Tribulation. If that is true then explain what even JESUS said.
Immediately AFTER THE TRIBULATION of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the SON of MAN in heaven: and then shall ALL the tribes of the earth mourn, AND THEY SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH POWEER AND GREAT GLORY. Matthew 24:29-30 KJV
Now look up these next two verses, Revelation 13:10 and Revelation 14:12-13. Notice the saints are still here, so if the church is gone how come the saints need patience and faith?
We have a very serious problem as the nations jockey around getting set for the “Grand Finale”. China doesn’t care if they must sacrifice a few million people to achieve world domination. It has been estimated that we could line the Chinese up 25 abreast and march them into the sea and drown them and they still will multiply faster than they die. President Xi could push his nuclear red button at any time. He is already threatening to use it against Taiwan. North Korea has the nuclear bomb. Iran is approaching it already thanks to Presidents Barry Sotero (a.k.a. Obama, Muslim, moon god worshiper) and President Biden for supplying them with the funds of about 6 trillion of our tax dollars. Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, gave Russia 20% of our uranium so they can make more nuclear weapons. The United States Secret Service says Vladimir Putin has Asperger’s Disease, which is a form of autism. And these same people, in essence, said that President Biden is a tottering old man with a poor memory. Now, you can sleep much better because Russia, America, Korea, and China all have leaders with their unsteady fingers on the “Red Button.” The question now arises, “Will it be set off by one of more of these unstable leaders?” To answer that it is a RESOUNDING AFFIRMATIVE. You may ask, “How I know this?” Just listen to this that GOD says HE will do during this “Gog-Magog War.”
And I [GOD] will send a fire on Magog, AND AMONG THEM THAT DWELL CARELESSLY IN THE ISLES: AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD. Ezekiel 39:6 KJV
In ancient writings every place they did not know about they called it the “isles.” Notice also that word “carelessly.” What GOD is saying is those who are so concerned about such things as LGBTQ+ rights and worship the “climate change god” and those who “have a form of godliness but deny the power of the HOLY GHOST” and all those who are more concerned about having a “good time.” Having a “good time” IS NOT GAMBLING, DRINKING, AND ALL KINDS OF ILLICIT SEX. A GOOD TIME IS GOING TO CHURCH AND WORSHIPING THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD.
