Hi overcomer.
Our GOD, the LORD GOD of Israel knows all things.
(Including your unique circumstances—Be of good cheer saint).
So although…
This past weekend horrific events overtook Israel by surprise, no event ever surprises Him.
He is the Almighty.
All were created by Him—All shall return to Him. (Ecclesiastes 12:7).
They have no choice for ONLY HE is over all.
So the wicked shall bow, including this one destined to reveal himself in evil power shortly…
“He gathers to himself all of the nations, taking captive all of the people for himself.”
Habakkuk 2:5 ISV
That said.
Make no mistake…
What happened in Israel on Saturday 7 OCT 2023 has changed things forever.
Personally,
The sense I have is that…
A HUGE STARTING GUN has gone off for every alert praying Christian.
Nothing will stop what happens next.
And I don’t just mean the war between Israel and Hamas.
The spark we’ve just seen burst into flame looks set to consume the whole earth.
Like this…
“I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city…
Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights on a day of battle.
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem… Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.”
Zechariah 14:2-4a, 5b. NIV
This is key saint: What you just read is urgent.
It’s controversial. It speaks of a (very near) time to come.
So overcomer, ask yourself this question:
How does this prophecy relate to what we saw unfolding on Saturday 7 OCTOBER 2023?
Consider these two points especially:
(Sorry for any offence, but I am going there)—GODs Word only speaks of rape as a weapon of war in three places. Isaiah 13, Lamentations 5 and Zechariah 14. Both Isaiah and Lamentations refer to past events.
Hamas et al have just committed this very atrocity en masse in Israel *Jump ahead to the not so far future when the LORD sorts this all out.
When Jesus rules over the whole earth as Messiah from Jerusalem with a rod of iron notice HE WILL FORCE every nation to attend the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles) in Jerusalem every year.
Why?
To answer why ask yourself…
Which feast were Israel celebrating on Saturday 7 OCTOBER 2023? The last day (Simchat Torah) in fact—When Hamas and their confederates launched their slaughter (principally) against civilians in Israel?
It was,
The Feast of Tabernacles.
Which could be very significant indeed. Perhaps we are FAR CLOSER to the return of Christ than we realise.
Could it be what just happened is one reason why Jesus will force the nations to come to the Feast of Tabernacles each year in His millenium? (See Zechariah 14: 16-19).
Therefore three things remain…
Watch and pray—The LORD will endue you with power.
Get with strong believers—Ready to die for each other.
Witness and pray—People are SO OPEN now.
And finally in midst of all coming to pass shortly.
Be strong in the LORD and His mighty power (Ephesians 6:10)
And choose LIFE saint.
You are destined for it, and there is still much for you to do.
Except…
You are now needed more urgently than ever.
Urgent is the word.
And His Word…
Never fails.
“I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.
Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him.”
Deuteronomy 30: 19-20 NIV
Bless you and all you set your hand to for His glory.
Dave.
*The Tablet verified reporting is here:
PS Last night seven of us met for Bible study and prayer.
And praise GOD, our Minister is 100% on it regarding—The Middle East, End Times, The Days of Noah. The Days of Lot. Healing. Deliverance. The Blood of Jesus etc.
Get with good strong Christians saint. None of us can make it on our own.
I would say, yes it’s urgent.
You are a man after the heart of Jesus. 100% correct Dave.
These two verses came to mind:
Philippians 1:28 and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God.
Proverbs 3:25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes,
No one loves justice more than God! Justice is coming.
