Very Prophetic Events
We are quickly nearing a war in the Middle East that will forever change the world. More important, we are approaching the return of Jesus Christ and the rapture of the Church! Are you ready?
Gov't sources: No one will put limitations on Gilo constructionAbbas seeks statehood recognition'IAEA inspects site outside Damascus' How prophetic! "The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap." Isaiah 17:1 |
Ezekiel 36-39
I truly believe that we are in the midst of the fulfillment of these chapters in the specific chronological order given. In Ezekiel 36 the prophet is concerned primarily with the land of Israel. The land has been left desolate and abandoned, but God promises to restore the land. This happened after the 1st captivity, but it also began to happen near the beginning of the last century. The connection is found to the return of the Jews to the land. Mark Twain spent a lot of words describing the barrenness of the land of Israel in the middle 1800s. Within a hundred years it was transformed into a fertile garden by the returning Jews. Chapter 37 graphically depicts the restoration of the people of Israel. First the nation would be revived physically. The land had already been undergoing a return of the Jews for some time, just like Ezekiel 36 prophesied, when the people returned in significant numbers after the Second World War. In 1948, the nation was restored. Yet, it is not the spiritual nation Ezekiel mentions. God has yet to breathe the breath of life back into them, so we are in the middle of this being fulfilled. Ironically, it took a mountain of dry bones from the gas ovens of Nazi Germany to convince the world of a need for a place for the Jews. 36 is nearly all fulfilled and 37 is partially fulfilled, so the next portion to be fulfilled is the invasion described in the next two chapters. We are currently seeing the necessary precursor events for these prophecies come to pass. We can see the aligning of the nations today as Ezekiel mentions and this has never happened ever in history. If Magog is Russia and we know that Persia is Iran, we are seeing a predominantly godless society join together with a false religious society united only by their hatred of the restored land and people of Israel. I wonder if the destruction of their armies leads to a mass revival of truth in the land of Israel. “Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.” Ezekiel 38:23
My Friend, isn't it time you readied yourself by drawing close to Christ. His word never fails and He is truly coming soon!

Deceived
"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever." Revelation 20:10
My niece played a cute trick on me today. She sent a text message from a number that I was unfamiliar with and said she needed to talk to me as soon as possible. As the message continued, it said that my name had came up in a conversation and that she really needed to tell me what was said. The catch was that I would have to call her on a cousin's phone.
Fear set in as I began to wonder what could be so important. By the time I called the second number, I had worried myself into about four different scenarios. Surely, I was going to be given some terrible news, and though I had no clue what it could be, I began to hypothesize many problems. I called the number literally terrified at what I might hear.
The voice began to say, "How to entertain an idiot." A continual loop began to play that gave details on how to keep an idiot tied up on a phone listening to a silly message.
Isn't this the devils job. He feeds us a bunch of lies, and rather check out what the word of God says, we listen to him in fear and unbelief. The longer we listen to him, the more he entertains an idiot. :)
