MID EAST FIGHTING PUTS BIBLE PROPHECY ON THE FRONT
Deadly bombs and missiles are flying into Israel, Gaza and Lebanon. A world is worried. But on the pages of the ancient scriptures there are seven prophecies that bring assurance the Bible is absolutely accurate, God is on the throne, and the future is bright for Christians.
1. Jerusalem’s neighbors would tremble: Zechariah 12:2, “ Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.”
2. Jerusalem would be a heavy burden to all nations: Zecariah 12:3, “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people.” The current conflict has sent oil prices soaring and stock prices plummeting all around the world.
3. Israel would put her trust in a peace treaty: Daniel 9:27 “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.” Israel is suffering for putting her trust in a treaty, instead of God or her military power.
4. Wars cannot be stopped. Matthew 24:6 “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Despite all the efforts of international peace organizations wars cannot be stopped.
5. Russia will be Israel’s foe. Ezekiel 38:15 “And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts (the “uttermost” part of the north of Jerusalem which is Russia) … And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days.” Russia has issued a veiled threat to Israel: "There is a real threat of the involvement of other states in this conflict," Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said.
6. China is fulfilling “king of the East” role. Revelation 16:12, 16 “And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. ... And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.” China, the constant enemy of Israel, is helping Russia prevent the U.N. from doing anything about the attacks on Israel.
7. Deceived people will be killing, thinking their murders are serving God. John 16:2 “They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.” The Muslim holy books commands the killing of Jews as a service to Allah: Koran 9:29, 30, “Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God … The Jews say, “Ezra (Ozair) is a son of God”; and the Christians say, “The Messiah is a son of God.” Such the sayings in their mouths! They resemble the saying of the Infidels of old! God do battle with them!”
These prophecies are moving toward fulfillment. The stage is being set. At the end of it all Jesus Christ will return in glory.
