Prophetic stage-setting continues at a torrid pace. No signal of the nearness of the Tribulation (Daniel’s seventieth week) is more observable than the dynamics revolving around the nation Israel.
Anti-Semitism is coming to a boiling point again like in the times of Nazi Germany, beginning with Hitler’s persecution of the Jewish race. America’s universities are at the center of the rise in hatred for the Jews.
We witnessed the October 7, 2023, evil perpetrated against the gathering of young people celebrating in Israel’s southern region. The evil was as heinous as one could imagine even in thinking about times when the Nazi regime was mass murdering God’s chosen people.
It doubtless took satanically engendered rage to do the things the Hamas beasts filmed themselves doing that day.
Yet the world didn’t turn against Hamas and the other terrorist organizations that cheered those wicked ones on. Rather, the hellish activity quickly spread like an infection, bringing about anti-Semitism to the supposed rational, Western world. The malicious evil went viral and had college students joining protests against Israel for fighting back against the Hamas murderers, baby killers, and rapists.
Why is this happening? That’s the question of many—not only Jews, but Christians and all sane-thinking people as well. Why is God allowing this evil to raise its wicked, satanic head?
The answer, I believe, is found within the following:
“We are telling our Jewish brothers and sisters that Israel is your home… We are bracing ourselves and calling for a mass immigration from Europe”, announced Israel’s Prime Minister, Netanyahu. And they were not just words – a while ago the Cabinet approved a ₪180 million ($46 million) plan to finance the absorption costs of thousands of potential new immigrants, following numerous anti-Semitic attacks, along with political and economic troubles in the Ukraine, France and Belgium.
Netanyahu broadcasted his message via social media; “I would like to say to all of Europe’s Jews, and Jews everywhere, Israel is the home of every Jew.”
Not everyone is impressed with these remarks – European leaders insist that they can protect their Jewish communities, and many Jewish people just don’t want to leave. But many others are packing their bags nonetheless, feeling they have no choice…
“They shall come trembling from the West…”
“Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt’, but ‘As the Lord lives who brought up the people of Israel out of the north country and out of all the countries where he had driven them.’” (Jeremiah 16:14)
The miracles of God’s promises to Israel continue to unfold; the good, the bad and the ugly. In very many places, the Scriptures prepare us for the fact that God was planning to bring His people back to His land by hook or by crook. With anti-Semitism spiraling out of all control around the world, many Jewish people are now deciding that they would be safer in war-torn Israel under the protection of the IDF than they are in Europe, and are escaping while they still can. (“God Is Gathering His People Back to Israel, ONE FOR ISRAEL Ministry)
And now the most religious of the Jewish community in Jerusalem are calling officially for all Jews to return “home.”
The nascent Sanhedrin in Jerusalem has made an official ruling, calling on Jews outside of Israel to come home.
“We are the beis din (rabbinic court) of Yerushalayim (Jerusalem), and we have poskened (officially ruled) that all Jews around the world have an obligation and chiyuv (religious requirement) right now to do whatever is in your power, to come to Eretz Yisrael (the land of Israel), and that is the mitzvah of Torah (Biblical requirement). And that is the mitzvah of today, especially because of what’s happening around the world and the dangers that all the Jews are in around the world. It’s necessary now more than ever to come to Eretz Yisrael, and we as a beis din have poskened that all the Jews have to come as soon as they can back to eretz Yisrael.”
The Sanhedrin’s ruling was intended for Jews worldwide, so it was recorded in English, Hebrew, Yiddish, French, and Spanish. (“Sanhedrin Announces Ruling: All Jews Worldwide Must Come Home to Israel Immediately,” Israel365 News, Biblical News, November 27, 2024)
To those who “watch” as commanded by Jesus (Mark 13: 37; Luke 21: 28):
God’s feathering of His chosen people in order to begin the process of bringing a remnant out of the time of Jacob’s trouble (Jeremiah 30: 7) becomes more obvious with every passing hour. This means, of course, that the Rapture, which must take place before the Lord’s final dealing with Israel in this way, must be even at the door, as Jesus put it.
You want to be a part of Christ’s call in that glorious event, not left behind to go through what Jesus said will be the worst time of all human history.
Here is how to go to the Lord when He steps upon the clouds of Glory and calls all believers to Himself.
That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9–10)
Amazing times. Amazing.
“Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be said, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; But, The Lord liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers”- Jeremiah 16:14,15.
“As I live, saith the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you: And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out. And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face. Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord God”- Ezekiel 20:33-36.
“When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God”- Ezekiel 39:27-29.
The world chooses the demonic God-haters over their Israelite victims.
This is exactly the same evil that caused the crowd to choose the murderous Barabbas over God’s sinless Son Jesus almost 2000 years ago. The spirit of the antichrist remains and is growing – another sign of our times.
I find it interesting that Hyatt Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), Turkey, Hamas, and Qatar are all Muslim Brotherhood. It is clear that the shift to Sunni empowerment in Syria had to take place. Libya, Sudan, Turkey, and the Central Asian Islamic Republics (Stan’s) are all Sunni and the majority of the Gog/Magog coalition of Ezekiel 38/39.
We know Syria will be the assembly point of the Gog/Magog coalition of which Iran (Persia) is a Shia minority. The Russian military bases and checkpoints remain in Syria contrary to the fake news media claiming their abandonment by Russian forces.
The rapid advance of HTS forces armed by Turkey with little opposition indicates a hidden deal was in place. Bashar Assad had turned to Saudi Arabia and their Gulf allies which explains why Iran did not offer any assistance to preserve his regime.
Based on the prophetic picture it appears Egypt and Jordan will be the next to fall to this resurgence of the Muslim Brotherhood. Turkey appears to be in a position to unite much of the Sunni world on their side. Turkey has now deployed Tanks, Missiles, and Air Defense Systems in northern Syria.
The leadership of HTS has declared that they are coming to Jerusalem to liberate their Palestinian brethren. These supposed liberator that many applauded have imposed Shariah Law on Syria. Syria now is enslaved under a Taliban style rule.
We will have to continue to watch things closely as the prophetic landscape become much more clear. God bless all of you and Maranatha!
Good observations, Rodney.
I suspect that Assad’s successors will be worse than his regime was. Seems like people are getting euphoric about the change with scant reason to be that way.
I have no doubt this is just another step toward prophetic fulfillment, specifically toward the fall of Damascus and Ezekiel 38.
Ed,
With such rapid changes occurring I suspect we do not have long to wait to see in which direction this will go prophetically! Thanks for the comment and God Bless.
Rodney
You are welcome, Rodney.
We might even be gone before the proceeds very far.
The mix of Shia and Sunni involved in the Gog/Magog conflict gives credence to the following prophetic passage: “And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be against his brother”- Ezekiel 38:21.
Sure does.
Muslim vrs. Muslim.
Another great observation.
Terry, is there anyway you can use a littler larger font on your blog? It’s so small I find myself not reading it much anymore and I love your posts!
This isn’t Terry, but try this: Press the CTRL button and + button simultaneously to expand the screen image. Keep doing it until it is the magnification you want. To return the view to the way it was, hit CTRL and the – button until you get it back to the size you want.
Thank you, Ed.
It’s an old trick I learned years ago.
Glad to help.
There is a second way on some browsers, also. Up in the address bar, there is a rectangle with lines in it next to a star. If you click on the rectangle, the text will expand.
I usually read on my iPad and found the little rectangle in my address bar. Had no idea that option was there! Thanks!
