UN recognition of Palestine brings end-times prophecy of Joel closer !

If the Palestinians would know and believe-what the Bible says about the fate of Gaza, they would have much less reason to celebrate the UN recognition for their own state. “

Note that when Syria will use chemical weapons, the US will start airstrikes against Syrian troops and important targets : The result will be that Syria will launch chemical missiles against Israel, the result of a chemical strike against Israel will be a Nuclear War : Israel will use Nuclear Weapons against Damascus, this action will fulfill the prophecies of Edgar Cayce and Baba Vanga … Also several quatrains of Nostradamus can be about this war that will become the third world war.

Ps : Sorry for the “Google Translation” 🙂

PA-leader Abbas declared in his speech in Ramallah that the dream of a Palestinian state has come true. After an overwhelming majority in the UN approved the upgrading of the Palestinian Authority to non-Member State. The only few Christians with anything more than superficial knowledge of the biblical end-time prophecies, however, know that the division of Israel in the end time for over 2800 years ago was foretold by the prophet Joel, and also ultimately the result will be : A final, devastating world war and the destruction of all nations who have turned against Israel.

Like most other Old Testament prophets Joel writes about the rejection of Israel by God because of their unfaithfulness, but also about their recovery in the last days, right before the “Day of the Lord” comes. From the old texts it is clear that we are currently living in the predicted end time :

“For behold, in those days and at that time, when I once will bring back the captives of Judah (Judah, Jews = Jews) and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and drains into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will there with them in judgment by reason of my people and my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land … “(Joel 3:1-2, NIV)

Many Bible Experts believe this ‘targeted’ by God Himself in the valley of Jehoshaphat (near Jerusalem, between the Temple Mount and the Mount of Olives) at the same time will occur when the massive battle in the valley of Megiddo, known as “Armageddon”, the greatest battle ever right to the return of the Messiah will be preceded.

God : Israel my inheritance, my country

Notice that God Himself is speaking and he Israel my inheritance “and” my country “calls (which goes much further than just” Jewish land “!), And literally to the enemies of Israel” Palestine “and Lebanon aims:

“And also, what have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Sidon (South Lebanon, the domain of Hezbollah), and all the borders of Palestine (KJV: Philistia)! Ye me give recompence? But if you want to repay me, lightly, quickly, I will recompense on your head again bring your … You have the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem sold to the children of the Greeks (the West), that ye might remove them far from their border (area) might bring. (vs. 4-7, SV) Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and I will bring your recompence upon your head. “(Vv. 4-7, SV)

Peoples around advancing against Israel

Some time after the in verse 2 for benefit sharing of Israel will ‘surrounding nations’ (vs.12)’ advance to the valley of Jehoshaphat, “obvious to Jerusalem, Abbas again by the” eternal capital of Palestine was called, to “liberate”. Often overlooked, but very important for a correct interpretation of this prophecy, is adding ‘around’. It is therefore only to the countries that surround Israel, and who are without exception Arabic and / or Islamic and sworn enemies of the Jewish state.

In verse 15 confirms that during the “Day of the Lord ‘, the last stage of the end times will happen :

“The sun and moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.”

Egypt and Arabia destroyed

These events-whether literally or figuratively-are to be understood in many other places in the Bible the characteristics listed at the beginning of this “Day of the Lord” (Jes.13 :9-10 / Ez.32: 7 = Prophecy of the future destruction of Egypt / Joel 3:15 / 3:11 Habakkuk / Matt.24: 29 / Marc.13: 24 / Revelation 6:12, 8:12). Then God Himself will intervene :

“And the LORD will roar from Zion, and from Jerusalem, His voice, that heaven and earth will shake: but the LORD will be the refuge of his people and the strength of the children of Israel … Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom (Arabia) will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, in whose land they have shed innocent blood. But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation … And the LORD shall dwell in Zion. “(v. 16_19-21).

Muslim Brotherhood

Now that the Muslim Brotherhood, which openly seeks the destruction of Israel and the Jews, has taken over Egypt, it is not difficult to imagine that the country is already in the near future aggressive prepares and possible UN recognition of “Palestine” engages a military attack on the Jewish state to perform. In Ezekiel 32 is that Egypt will be completely destroyed (v. 15). Since this prophecy has never happened before.

Another indication that talking about a future event in the end time to go is adding “they will know that I am the LORD.” In other words, if their country is destroyed, the Egyptians will know who is responsible for this. Incidentally, according to Ezekiel also Syria (‘Assyria’, vs.22), Iran (Elam ‘, vs. 24), Turkey (Meshech, Tubal) and Edom (Arabs *) are destroyed.

* Ezekiel 25:12-13 confirms that this is indeed (Saudi) Arabia goes: “I will stretch out my hand against Edom and will exterminate humans and animals, I will make a mess of Temam unto Dedan , by the sword will fall. “Temam and Dedan are in the current Saudi Arabia.

Destruction of Babylon during the Day of the Lord !

The prophet Isaiah also added a country / region : Babel (Babylon), which in present day is Iraq. Verse 10 shows that this prophecy is about the future “Day of the Lord” :

“The stars in the heavens give no more light … The sun is darkened as she rises, the light of the moon is gone. ‘ Then I leave the world pay for her wickedness … “

In the sequel we recognize the global earthquake eg in Revelation is described. Some expositors think that the Earth literally from his job will be pushed, possibly by the impact of a large object (meteor or comet) from space :

“I make people scarcer than gold … I will make the heavens tremble, touches the earth shake from its place on the day of the Lord … The grim day of his fierce anger .… Then everyone will flee to his country of origin … Babylon is like Sodom and Gomorrah, cities destroyed by God. Never again will people live, it remains depopulated until the farthest posterity…. (Jes. 13:10-20). No Arab will save his tent … “(Isa. 13:10-20).

Wrath of God on Gaza – Syria – Jordan and Sudan

The prophet Zephaniah is very specific. On the “day of the anger of the LORD ‘will’ leave Gaza and the Israeli cities of Ashkelon and Ashdod, during the recent conflict with Hamas again the target of numerous Palestinian missiles a ‘wasteland’ and ‘depopulation’, probably as a result of the future Palestinian-Egyptian-Arab military attack.

Then God will “the land of the Philistines” (by the Palestinians as their ancestors are considered) ‘to ruin, with all residents .… The still densely populated Palestinian coastal strip will become ‘grassland’ and ‘accrue to whom Judah remain … Because the LORD their God, and will seek them out their destiny for the better. “(Zef.2)

Similar total destruction : The other attackers of the Jewish state-Jordan (“Moab” and “Ammon”), Sudan (“Nubians” (NLT) / ‘Moors’ (SV) / “Ethiopians” (KJV) and Syria (Assyria ‘) – will be destroyed also : “She rifled through what’s left of my people, their property is to what’s left of my nation (Israel) remaining” (vs.9).

Also Zephaniah gives the same double confirmation that we are dealing with future events to do: “Terrible shall the LORD against them (the enemies of Israel) being, for he will all the gods of the earth (all other religions and / or all world leaders) do waste away, and before him shall bow down, each in his place, all the coastal countries of the peoples n (SV: all the isles of the Gentiles = all continents) “(vs.11, SV + NKJV).

The Fate of Jews and Israel

In Ezekiel 36 is impressively throughout the history of the Jewish people, from the distant past to the future, is described. From verse 16 begins a flashback to the time when the people of Israel for their “evil deeds” the wrath of God upon himself and was banished to “foreign nations” and “distant countries” (vs.19). Since the Jews were not welcome and were-and still are-mocked (vs.20) because they had lost their land to their enemies.

“Thus says the Lord GOD: Vol schadenfreude, the enemy called:” The ancient mountains (lit. ‘high places’) are now one of us! “(Vs.2).

God is angry because of false accusations and conspiracy theories

In two sentences then Ezekiel foretold that the Jews everywhere would be slandered and persecuted, and the subject of all kinds (‘Zionist’) conspiracy theories and false accusations of “ethnic cleansing” and “genocide” would be:

“Thus says the Lord GOD: When you were destroyed, the people around you preyed on you .… You went on the tongue and it was rumored about you … It is said of you that you have people devour you the nations which you live by robbing their children. “(Vs.3 13)

God Himself draws however personally :

“Thus says the Lord GOD: I speak with resin drafts and anger … You are humiliated by other nations, and therefore, says the Lord God, I swear that the nations around you yourself will be humiliated … I will make you the humiliation of other nations no longer have to endure their ridicule not need to hear. “(Vs.6-7 +15)

I will bring you into your own land

It also makes very clear that God is not Israel, but the Arabs actual occupiers of the land now-with the support of all the Arabs, by the Palestinians for their own state is claimed :

“Thus says the Lord GOD: In the fire of my passion I complain Edom (Arabia) and all the other nations on. Their hearts were filled with joy and their souls filled with contempt when they took possession of my country and the pastures were spoils’ (vs.5).

“Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name, which you have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went …. I will take you from the nations and gather you out of all countries, and I will bring you into your own land “(22 vs. 24).

The fulfillment of that promise, the whole world witnessed in 1947-1948 when the state of Israel was founded and from around the world a massive Aliyah (return of the Jews) emerged, a process that is still ongoing.

Second part of Prophecy : The Cleaning

The second part of the prophecy has yet to be fulfilled or is about to be fulfilled (a process that can take many years) :

“I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean : from all your filthiness and from all your idols, will I cleanse you … Ye shall be my people, and I will be your God …. Then you will remember your evil ways and your doings that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations … Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I the LORD have rebuilt what was destroyed and planted what was desolate. “(Vv. 25-36).

Hatred against Israel does God intervene

That hatred of Israel and the desire to destroy the Jewish state ultimately the main reason is that there is a limit to God passed over and he personally intervenes clear from the prophecy in Ezekiel 35 about the “mountains of Seir” (located in the current Jordan, where 60% ​​-70% of the population is Palestinian) and Edom :

“Because ye have eternal enmity cherished and ye have delivered the children of Israel to the violence of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of final settlement, therefore, as I live … Of blood will I make and blood shall pursue you, since you have not shunned shedding of blood, blood will persecute you. I will mount Seir to a place of desolation and destruction, and there exterminate anyone who comes or goes …. “(vs.5-7) With the same anger and envy which you have treated them in your hatred, will I also deal and me among them do know when I will judge you. “(vs.11)

I have your great words against me be heard

God has something to say about the known anti-Semitic and anti-Israel bluster about the “right” to a Palestinian state that today we again hear everywhere-not only in the Islamic world, but also in the West :

“I’ve heard the blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, they are destroyed, they are our (the Palestinians / Arabs) given to feed us! Yes, you have a high pitched against me excited and great words against Me stacked – I’ve heard. Thus says the Lord GOD: To the delight of all the earth will I make you desolate, as you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was destroyed, so will I do to you: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir , yes Edom whole and al ‘

Again the same confirmations that this is not about the past, but the future is going to end :

“Until a perpetual desolation I will make thy cities shall not be inhabited: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.” (Vs.9). Both are never fulfilled: Jordan and Arabia are still inhabited and nobody has ever Yahweh, the God of Israel, recognized.

Overall performance :

History shows that the fulfillment of biblical prophecies ** in several consecutive sentences are written often many years and even decades or centuries-takes. This is clearly the case with the return of the Jews to their own country and by God promised ‘cleaning’, as mentioned earlier a process that possibly many years will take (think of the slowly growing group of Messianic Jews).

It is therefore impossible to say whether the large, many biblical prophets described end war during or at the beginning of the “Day of the Lord” is already very near, or still (decades?) Years in delay. Nevertheless, the ever-accelerating becoming events and upheavals in the Middle East that extremist Islamists who make no secret of wanting to destroy the Jewish state increasingly influence and power. Regular anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist statements of Egyptian President Morsi and Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan may therefore be a clear sign on the wall are seen.

** Due to the length of this article I have discussed in many previous articles known prophecies about the future destruction of Damascus (Jes.17: 1), the “Gog Magog attack on Israel (Ez.38) and the destruction of all of Israel’s enemies with possible nuclear weapons followed by the return of the Messiah (Zech.12 14) omitted.
