We've all heard over and over again, that this is a spiritual war, and it is the Devil who is waging war against Israel, the Jews, as well as the Christians. Just to be frank about it, that's about it, and it says it all, or does it. The fact is some terrible things will have to happen or planet earth and it will start right here in Israel before the anti-Christ makes his appearance. And it's only human nature to try and figure things out before hand. After all God did give us His written Word He even sent the Word to Tabernacle among us. So why shouldn't we know some things before hand, it's the hour and the day of the coming of the Messiah we will not know, because that is His Word as well. So while Christian Denominations are all throwing rocks at each other over the time of the rapture (a word that doesn’t even show up in the Bible) the Devil is having a party killing Believers and spreading his religion of Islam around the world.
With Governments lying to their people concerning things of importance in regards to Israel in the end days. Possibly not because they lie knowingly but they have been deceived by the Devil himself. Considering it a matter of common since and logic in their decision making in what they see as global security. If all this sounds like nonsense just keep reading and I will try to make some since out of it, hopefully.
The Budding of the Fig Tree, when Israel became a nation 55 years ago things were very different militarily for the Jews who lived here. That is not to say that any of our wars was not hard and terrible, but things are changing and very quickly for the small nation of Israel is now faced with new challenges.
In 1948 when Israel fought its first war of Independence the odds where an unbelievable 60 to 1, that is for every Jew there were 60 Arabs who wanted him or her dead and gone. So how have things changed, not much if any? Today there are around 5 million Jews in Israel and there are around 300 million Arabs around us who want us dead or gone. That is still a ratio of 60 to 1, so what's new? And if you consider landmass, the Arabs have a ratio of 3,000 to 1, but they still are not happy with that lopsided ratio. So there can only be one answer, this is a spiritual war, putting us back to square number one.
Israel is a democracy in the middle of a sea of inhumanity called Islam. It just so happens that the black oil from below has taken control of the logic of mankind, as has the love of money.
There has never been a time in the history of modern Israel that it would have been able to mass an army large enough to fight off such odds. There are two reasons Israel has won all the wars the Arab world has waged against us.
The first and most important one is God, that is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, not the god of Abraham, Ishmael and Mohammed. God has promised in His Word to restore His people the Jews to the land He had promised, and He has. We have a very long list of promises from God concerning this land called Israel.
The Second and also as a result of God's hand being on the land as well, is the military qualitative edge to bring victory in war against such odds. For when you are out numbered 60 to 1 you need all the help you can get. But I've heard it said that when God is on your side, you are the majority. The IDF is second to none on the battlefield, as can be shown by war games staged every year or so with the Green Beret and others from the best the US Great Britain and others has to offer. Israel never brags about it, but I will, the IDF have never been defeated by any foreign troops the US or anyone else. The IAF stages war games as well with the Top Gun of the USAF, they have never come close to winning in any of these so-called games either. In 1982 the Syrians lost 86 Russia Mig-Jets in one day of dog fights, the best Russia could put in the air to fight the Israelis with, while Israel never lost a single plane. If you know what I do, there are two things happening with those kinds of numbers. God is flying with them, and they are very good. When Israel buys the fighter jets form the US the first thing they do is strip the electronics our and put their own in, and most of it stays top secret.
But things have changed over the past ten years and Israel is in very serious trouble and everyone knows it. It is no secret that Israel has a serous weakness in its defense. Israel is very small and vulnerable if our enemies become to strong near our borders. For example the US and most Countries have some time to prepare to defend or make a retaliatory strike, but Israel has but a few minutes at best if they come under attack from Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Lydia, Iran, or Egypt. Meaning that even if the IDF has the time to launch a retaliatory strike there is no time to alert the population and many will die.
We all know about the 6-day war, and how Israel defeated the entire Arab world in 6 days. Well that victory can be contributed to three factors the way I see it. (1) God was with them, (2) the element of surprise, (3) and the qualitative edge of high tech. Take any one of those three away and it would not have been a 6 day war and victory may have went either way. But while we are on that war, let's take a quick look at something spiritual since we agree this is a spiritual war. When that war ended you may remember on TV the Israeli soldiers were dancing in the streets of Tel-Aviv and other cities holding their weapons above the heads shouting "by our right hand and by our might we beat the entire Arab World". Sounded a lot like the language of Nebuchadnezzar who was made to eat grass for 7 years. Interesting that another Babylon ruler was captured just today. But is was 6 years later, 6 being the number of man and the number that God deals with man, that Israel was brought to its knees in the Yom Kippur War (1973). Israel nearly lost that war, not to many noticed in the US because they were having their own Yom Kippur (Day of Repentance) called Water Gate. But at the end of that war all you could hear from the Israeli soldiers was Baurch Ha Shem, (Bless be the Name of God). But I am getting a little off the subject, or am I.
In several of my past reports I have reported on the military build up of Egypt, and the fact that the US has sold them nearly every weapons system they wanted. North Korea has joined in and sold them anything the US wouldn't in the line of missiles and warheads. It might be stated here that Egypt has no natural enemies who want to destroy them, Sudan and Libya have no reason or desire let alone the ability to fight Egypt. Israel would never attack them and has no desire to take over any of its neighbors; we just want peace, real peace with them.
The question remains why has the United States supplied over $30 Billion in military aid to Egypt? Some how many say "well Israel has received just a little over that amount from the US" but Israel has had to use most of it in war with the Palestinians or be destroyed by them. Not to mention having to fight the Hizbullah in the north and setting still for the US in 1991 while 39 Iraqi scud missiles landed on us. The United States have supplied Egypt with 240 F-16 fighter Jets, this to a country who has no enemies, just a desire to see Israel destroyed. The US has supplied them with the same Apache Helicopters and has gone a step further; they are upgrading them with the Longbow version making them even more of a danger to Israel. The United States has supplied this Country with no known enemies with the best tank the US has, the modern effective Abrams Tank that are said to be an equal to the Israeli Merkava tank (we will see I am sure). The Egyptian Navy has been supplied the frigates and missile boats and now I am told they are armed with the latest sea to sea missiles. I could go on and on but I think you got the picture and the bottom line, with friends like these who needs enemies.
As for the Two State theory, that is also a lie, for everyone who says it, knows it is just one more step to the total destruction of Israel. Arafat could have had his Palestinian States at Camp David, but chose war instead. He does not want a Two-State theory, he wants a one-state theory, and the name is Palestine. Arafat does not want a State handed to him by a piece of paper he wants to be an Islamic hero and destroy Isaac, for this really is a spiritual war. And for anyone who thinks for a minute that George W. Bush doesn't know that most believe also that they have an idiot for a President. For that would be the only way he wouldn't know it. So something else is happening and it is called the plan of the Illuminati, the New World Order.
The future of Israel does not look so good but then that is the way it would have to look in preparation of accepting the anti-Christ. In fact, we can be sure things will get a lot worse, but it will effect the entire world economy like nothing has ever done before. And who do you think will be blamed for it this time? You got it, the Jews of course. The coming Holocaust for the Jews who refuse to come home to Israel is coming right at them, yet they still are refusing to let go of what they call their security. But in one swift move of God's hand it will all be gone and they will be unable to run, they will have no place to run. Now is the time for them to come home, they are being told and in the heart of every Jew there is a certain knowledge that Israel is home.
God has touched this Jew to reach out and be ready to rescue as many as possible, has He touched you to help us with the larger boat? And in that same move of God's hand your ability to support such a ministry will be gone, now is the time to be obedient to the call of God on our lives.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, for our Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for all those who have come to fight the Islamic enemy. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it.
Shalom,
