The Rabbinical Council of Judea and Samaria said that the current situation “place us at the beginning of the Gog and Magog process where the world is against us, but which ends with the third and final redemption.”
This is a shocking statement, coming from Jewish scholars. The War of Gog and Magog is described in Ezekiel, chapters 38 and 39. These chapters follow the amazing prophecy of the rebirth of the nation of Israel in chapters 36 and 37.
Israel was reborn, just as Ezekiel predicted in 1948.
Many Bible students equate the War of Gog and Magog with the Battle of Armageddon, but we think it is most likely the same as the war of the Second Seal in Revelation 6:3-4.
This is the great war at the beginning of the Tribulation, while the Battle of Armageddon takes place at the end of the Tribulation.
The Tribulation is the prophetic period of time predicted by Daniel as the last seven years of Israel’s history.
It takes place just before Messiah returns to begin the peaceful Millennium (Daniel 9:24-27; Ezekiel chapters 40 through 48).
The Rabbinical Council is referring to the universal outrage against Israel because of the armed struggle that resulted when they stopped a supposed relief flotilla that was actually a ship-load of terrorists. The event caused a major realignment in the Middle East, with Turkey, recently a close ally of Israel and the U.S., but now siding with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
Let us remember Jesus’ words in Luke 21:28:
“When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
We must all strive to be ready, as none of us know our appointed time. It surely appears that the signs point to Jesus soon return. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
Another major sign. Many major earthquakes and natural disaters this year along with many wars and rumors of wars. Iran is out of control along with Obama leading the way to a one world order. And the world is fast turning to hate Israel. Look up believers are redemption is drawing near.
I am a baptist missionary in Brazil and am very glad God is using me in a country with such open hearts! I passed a group of school kids, Thursday, I began to give them gospel tracts for kids, the teachers loved it. Can you see me doing that in the US? No way! It is sad my country is turning away from the truth. I was saved in 1879 when reading Hal Lindseys books on prophecy.
prepare your hearts now..jesus will take care of you who take hrrd
TELL THE WORLD THAT JESUS SAVES!!!!TELL THE WORLD THAT HE DIED FOR THEM!!!!!! THERES NOT MUCH TIME LEFT….COME LORD JESUS COME:)
Hallelujah Hallelujah
The Lord is coming Hallelujah
A long time coming brother Jesus. Let’s get on with it already !
It seems since the movie The Passion of the Christ, “things” have been happening. God is warning the world! For now while we wait,remember God wants to be with you. Give Him Your time.
I pray it all ends soon. The Bible says that if God didn’t shorten the end days, no one would survive. We must pray that the Lord raptures His believers ASAP. I know that I’m tired of this world. I look forward to being with Christ. Please come get us soon Jesus.
I can’t wait for the Lords return. Praise God He is coming for us soon.
Oh trouble in Israel. Could it be as psalm 95 say:
…” ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray and they do not know my ways.’ So I swore in my anger, ‘They shall not enter into my rest.’
One thing that we Christians need to keep in mind is that He Also Said that even when we see these things coming to pass, we are not to worry. How wonderful it is to be a Christian, having that blessed assurance of His Salvation. I’ve learned one thing that is truly important; When I pray, I try to always give thanks to Him, In The Holy Name Of Jesus, for all he has done for me. When you tell Him how grateful you are, He Hears you. I fear nothing, and I live on a fixed income; not much money, but I have The Wealth Of His Love which I feel all through me. God Bless all of you.
