God's Full Attention is Returning to Israel!

Dear Saints,

I was going to post on another topic but then all hell broke loose in Israel late yesterday. Believe me, I was monitoring every bit of news I could from all the sources I follow. I'm sure most of you were also following the events, so I have no real need to repeat the details here.  For those of you who do not know, here's a brief summary. 

 

Late Saturday here in the US and very early morning in Israel on April 14th, Iran fired somewhere over 350 attack drones toward Israel. These came in several waves, but not one entered Israeli airspace and were all shot down by Israel and its allies, including Britain, France, and the USA.

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari in a press conference puts the number of Iranian missiles and drones fired at Israel in the overnight attack at approximately 350.

He says the projectiles had a combined 60 tons of explosives, which “could cause tremendous damage.”

Iran launched 30 cruise missiles and not a single one entered Israeli airspace.

Iran fired 120 ballistic missiles at Israel. Some managed to bypass Israel's defenses, hitting the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel and causing minor damage. I'm hearing about 7 missiles made it inside Israel and a little 7 year old Israeli-Arab girl was injured and is fighting for her life.

A handful of drones and missiles were launched from Iraq and Yemen amid the attack, but none entered Israeli airspace.  

 

Many believe that the Iranian attack was coordinated with the American administration by giving our leaders a warning that they were going to attack and in return, the US assured them that we would not allow an Israeli response. 

 

The Pentagon: American forces in the Middle East intercepted dozens of missiles and drones launched from Iran, Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
99% of the drones and missiles fired by Iran at Israel were intercepted by air defenses. Per a senior US defense official, the Arleigh Burke class destroyers USS Carney (DDG-64) and USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) downed four Iranian medium range ballistic missiles last night.

 

Iranian Chief of Staff Mohammad Baghri: "The United States did its best to protect Israel in the skies over Iraq and Jordan, but it failed to intercept our missiles - our response will be broad if Israel responds to the attack. We sent a message to the US through the Swiss embassy that if it participates in future action against us together with Israel, we will attack its bases in the region."

 

Israel is currently in discussions regarding plans for defense and an attack Unfortunately, Biden has told Netayahu that the US will not assist Israel should they attack Iran.

As soon as this started, I began praying for Israel.  I have made prior posts regarding both the government and the religious elite in Israel being evil and allied with the Globalists and Kabbalah (A luciferian religion). However, the Jewish people themselves are still God's chosen people. All through the Old Testament, no matter how many times God punished them and allowed other nations to conquer them, HE ALWAYS spoke of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He ALWAYS spoke of a remnant of His true Hebrew people coming back to the land. He ALWAYS spoke of a time when they would repent and turn back to Him.  God never goes back on a covenant. Never. Not one in which He, alone, was the covenant maker.  When He made that covenant with Abraham, He put Abraham to sleep. It was purely a covenant issued by God alone, and He will never go back on His Word.  

 

We know from Scripture that there will be a 7 year period called "The Time of Jacob's Trouble" or "The Day of the Lord".  We call it the Tribulation. Why is it the time of Jacob's Trouble and not the world's trouble? Because the Lord removes His Gentile Bride BEFORE this time period where He focuses His full attention on Israel. Scripture is rife with descriptions of this time period. It isn't pretty, but necessary. For what?

 

Listen to what Gabriel tells Daniel in Daniel 9

 

Seventy weeks are determined
For your people and for your holy city,
To finish the transgression,
To make an end of sins,
To make reconciliation for iniquity,
To bring in everlasting righteousness,
To seal up vision and prophecy,
And to anoint the Most Holy. 

69 Weeks have already passed (69 weeks of 7 years). If you don't understand that, there are many articles online explaining Daniel's 70 week prophecy. There is one Week left to accomplish these things. God has great plans for the Jewish people. If you've read the Bible, then you know. There will come a time in the millennial reign when it says that people will honor the Jews and beg them to take them to see the Lord. 

 

This current war that is getting worse in Israel WILL LEAD to the Covenant of many with the Antichrist. 

 

Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate.” 

This Covenant is for 7 years, hence it must occur around the start of the time of Jacob's trouble.  So when I see things escalating in Israel, I realize how close we are to going home. How long will that take? I don't know, but I don't think long.  Should Israel attack Iran, the world could be drawn into WW3. If nukes are used, and/or if other hotspots kick off, like China attacking Taiwan, then the people of the world will be PLEADING for peace. And in steps the "man of peace", the Antichrist. 

OR if Israel doesn't attack Iran and some peace deal is made, and Israel goes back to living in peace, that would be the best time for the Gog-Magog war to commence because Gog attacks Israel after war and when the Jews are feeling semi-safe. 

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.  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

 

For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape  1 Thess 5:3 

Notice in the above Scripture, it says they SAY "Peace and Saftey". It doesn't say there is Peace.

Either way, I feel in my spirit when things kick off, events will happen rapidly. However, the true believers in Jesus won't be here when the Tribulation starts. 

Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,  who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 Thess 2:3-4

So, keep your eyes on Israel and continue to pray for them, for God to protect them and bring them to salvation.
