Praying Scripturally for Israel

When many believers pray,  there are a number who like to pray scriptures, G-d’s own words.  This morning as I lay in bed, I don’t know if I should say a fire came in my belly, or rather, it bubbled up within me.  As I lay there, these thoughts arose from down inside my bowels.

 

Abba, Father (Mk. 14:36; Rom 8:15; Gal. 4;6), you have made known the end from the beginning, that you will accomplish all your good pleasure.  (Is. 46:10).  You foretold through your servant Moses, that Israel would go into exile amidst all the nations of the earth, but that in the last days, you would bring your holy people back to the land You promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Deut. 30:3-5; Gen. 15:7, 24:7,26:3, 48:4).  You predicted Father in Your holy Word, that the nations would come against Your holy people to possess their land  (Ezek. 36:1-12; Zech. 12:3). 

Father, we pray your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven (Mt. 6:10).  We pray that You will establish Your shalom and Your salvation in Jerusalem, and in Israel, according to Your Name (Ps. 122:1; 1 Ptr. 1:5).   That you would vindicate Your name, against the objects of wrath, that You, O Sovereign LORD, prepared for destruction, that the objects of your mercy might know the riches of Your grace towards us in Yeshua ha Moshiach (Rom 9:22-23, 12:19).

Father, and by Your abundant mercy, in this last hour, in Your wrath, remember mercy (Hab. 3:2).

Zephaniah 3:8-10  ⁸ "Therefore wait for Me," declares the Adonai, "For the day when I rise up as a witness. Indeed, My decision is to gather nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them My indignation, All My burning anger; For all the earth will be devoured By the fire of My zeal.  ⁹ "For then I will give to the peoples purified lips, That all of them may call on the name of the Adonai, To serve Him shoulder to shoulder.  ¹⁰ "From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, My dispersed ones, Will bring My offerings.

 And with Israel, we say, "For Your Yeshuah we wait, O Adonai" Gn. 49:18.

Giza Pyramid - The Pillar of Enoch

The other day I heard something about the Great Pyaramid in Egypt having been built by Enoch, you know, the one God loved and translated to heaven? Well, I did a search on it, and came across some really interesting blogs. It sounds really neat, and Isaiah does mention how there will be a monument to the Lord at the border of Egypt. This was an interesting read: http://www.flyingchariotministries.com/thegreatpyramid.htm

Yesterday, Ezekiel 28 and the Alien Unveiling

Yesterday morning, when I opened my Bible, Father led me quickly to Ezekiel 28, where it was speaking of Tyre. Now I hope you don't only watch the mainline media news, which is blaming Israel for this conflagration! For months Israel has been under a constant barrage from rocket attacks, from Gaza, from Syria, essentially all around. They have displayed amazing restraint in their response! No other country in the world would put up with so much for so long. It's a great lesson for us Christians! But I digress... I believe that Ezek. 28 is speaking to today's situation, and the LORD impressed on my heart: 24 "And there will be no more for the house of Israel a prickling brier or a painful thorn from any round about them who scorned them; then they will know that I am the Lord GOD."  

 Israel, Adonai's chosen people, are going to be victorious, as the world watches in amazement. Islam is going to suffer a setback, but will not be eradicated. The leader who arises from all this and confirms the seven year treaty with Israel will deceive many, demand allegiance to himself as God, and will speak blasphemy against Yhwh, much like Shirley McClain, Oprah Winfrey, etc., etc. The Apostle John calls this man the incarnation of the Antichrist!

 1 John 2:22 22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

As I said yesterday, this is going to be one of the most catastrophic wars the world has seen... isn't it funny how it always involves the Jews?  I mean, not from them, but always against them, to try to destroy them!  This is indeed a confirmation that there is a spiritual battle going on for the hearts and souls of men.  And the dragon doesn't like men, made in the image of God.  He concocts all these ways to offer men promises in the name of improving their lives, eradicating diseases, gaining new powers and abilities, extending life, gaining knowledge, becoming like God Most High (Genesis 3:5).  And the world falls for it!  We are fed it through cartoons, movies, music, commercials, while the governments spoon feed society bits of what they've been up to for years, to condition us for the releasing of this news!  You've heard of social engineering, right?  The Bible doesn't call national leaders 'shepards' for nothing.

As the LORD led me to Ezekiel 28, I began reading where the prophecy was against Sidon.  And the LORD gave me a sense that this is for today, that it is Rhema revelation! And He really impressed on me this verse:
²⁴ "And there will be no more for the house of Israel a prickling brier or a painful thorn from any round about them who scorned them; then they will know that I am the Lord GOD."
There you have it, the good, Sovereign ruler, who sent His Son for us declared victory for Israel.

At the end of this cataclysmic war, the "aliens" are going to reveal themselves as beings who have watched over mankind for billions of years, and guided our evolution (did you notice there is no 'imagio dei' in this?).  If the timing of the Pre-Tribulation rapture is correct, and it's not Mid-Tribulational (i.e. before the middle point of the Tribulation where Antichrist declares himself God), then the church will be caught up to be with the LORD for seven years, until His return in power and glory, as KING of kings and LORD of lords.  Every knee will bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father!

israel today | Israel News | Israel's unprecedented efforts to avoid civilian casualties - israel today | Israel News

I post this because I caught ABC's news coverage of the fighting between Israel and Gaza, and they totally cast it like the Israelis were at fault and insanely attacking the "innocent" palestinians in Gaza.  They are so full of it, excuse my French!  Israel has gone above and beyond any other national army in trying to avoic civilian casualities, announcing the attack to civilians, and warning them to take cover!

Mid-East War, Damascus & Israel

It appears that after months of rockets being fired by Muslims in Gaza, and rockets "accidentally" being fired into norther Israel from spillover from the Syrian revolution, that Israel decided that is enough attacks on their citizens.  So the war is under full sway. 

I was looking on Fox news, and they have a report that says Israel is "on the Brink" of war.  This is full-out Muslim jihad, and unlike Christianity, where Christians love and leave the vengenance to God (Rom. 12:19), Muslims rage and immediately set about taking vengenance, in the name of Allah, the ancient moon god (Al-ilah) of Arabia.

I know it is generally not good method to simply start reading from where you open the Bible, but this past week or so, the LORD seems to be directing me to open in passages He wants me to read (Amos 3:7).  A couple of days ago, I opened to Isaiah 17, and was reviewing again the prophetic passage speaking of the destruction of Damascus.  But applying the same context to the entire passage, it goes on to speak of Israel taking a hit in that war:

Isaiah 17:4-6

⁴ Now in that day the glory of Jacob will fade, And the fatness of his flesh will become lean. ⁵ It will be even like the reaper gathering the standing grain, As his arm harvests the ears, Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain In the valley of Rephaim. ⁶ Yet gleanings will be left in it like the shaking of an olive tree, Two or three olives on the topmost bough, Four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree, Declares the LORD, the God of Israel.

 

Israel will indeed come out victorious in the Middle East (Is. 17:14).  Damascus will be annihilated.  It looks like we are getting ready to witness some of the most destructive wars in history.  Israel is going to come out victorious, according to the word of Yahweh, but they will suffer from the war.  But one of the results of this war in Adonai's plan is that Israel's eyes will be turned back to Him, their maker, because at present most Jews are secular and don't believe in the God of the Bible.  But like the old addage rightly says, "there are no atheists in a fox-hole".  And so as the war intensifies and engulfes the Middle-East, the elect (both Jews and Gentiles) will turn to their maker, because Messiah Yeshua has made us into one new man in Messiah. 

Ephesians 2:15 ¹⁵ by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,

God will do this because the seventieth shabua (or 'seven') predicted by the prophet Daniel, is about to begin, where God will resume his working with the Jews, and Messiah will apppear at the end of the 7 year shabua, of which will also end the 7 year peace treaty (Dan. 9:24,27).

Assuming the pre-trib rapture theory is correct, the rapture of the true Church is very near.  But most of the Jews will still remain deceived about the identity of Messiah until the end of the 7 years, when 2/3 of the Jews will have died (Zech. 13:8,9), but the remaining Jews in Israel will be saved as the Calvinistic Apsotle Paul taught in Romans 11:
Romans 11:25-27 ²⁵ For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery-- so that you will not be wise in your own estimation-- that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; ²⁶ and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB." ²⁷ "THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS."

God is working out His plan of redemption.  Last night at a Bible study on Romans, the pastor gave a quote I really liked by Warren Wiersbe to help people understand election: "God is holy and must punish sin; but God is loving and desires to save sinners.  If everybody is saved, it would deny His holiness; but if everybody is lost,it would deny His love.  The solution to the problem is God's sovereign election.

Could this be the Fourth Beast is making its debut, complete with currency, fitting in with the other prophetic fulfillments we see with, Israel, a one-world government forming, Russian-Iranian alliance against Israel, soon emergence of Maitreya and his false prophet?

Middle East War begun!

Joel Rosenberg, one of the faithful watchmen who have traveled, studied and written extensively concerning Israel and her role in the last days, and his prophetic take on the political workings of this prophetic fulfillment, is posting I believe from Israel, as Muslim attacks on the Jewish nation are escalating with just over, according to Rosenberg, more than 400 war crimes this past weekend, and it is going live now!
