Current Events In Light of Bible Prophecy

By Joel Rosenberg – posted on May 11, 2011

Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39, what Bible scholars describe as the coming “War of Gog & Magog”

Over the next few days, I’ll share with you some of my notes. Today, let’s start by defining who “Gog” and “Magog” are, when this prophecy will take place, and what countries will be participating in the coalition against Israel:

1. The Hebrew Prophet Ezekiel lived in Babylon (Iraq) more than 2,500 years ago and the Lord gave him a vision of events that would take place in the future.

2. Ezekiel 38:16 specifically tells us these events will take place in the “last days” — that is in the End Times before the Messiah comes to set up His kingdom on earth.

3. Ezekiel chapters 36 and 37 set the stage for the “War of Gog and Magog” by describing that Israel will be reborn as a country in the last days, the Jewish people will come back to the Holy Land from exile all over the world, the Jewish people will rebuild the ancient ruins and make the deserts bloom again. These things have all happened, and this suggests we are getting closer to the fulfillment of the next set of prophecies.

Among Israeli Jews, 20,000 embrace Christ

31st May 2011 – http://www.bpnews.net/

White and blue flags rustled in the breeze, and kebabs sizzled on the grill. Ben Martin gathered the group around and offered a prayer of thanks for the food.

“Thank You for this food. Thank You for this nation. And thank You that after 2,000 years, You haven’t forsaken Israel.”

He hasn’t forsaken it — in fact, Jesus Christ is at work among the Jews more than ever, Martin said.

The crowd at this Israeli Independence Day party was more diverse than one might expect for a get-together celebrating the founding of the Jewish homeland in 1948.

There were Iranian Jews. Iraqi Jews. Russian Jews. American Jews.

Witnessing History in the Making – 500 people respond to an altar call at an outreach conference in Tel Aviv, Israel

Israeli FlagVoice of Judah Ministries – Pastor Israel – 11th May 2011

Shalom Greetings!  
   
Last week we organized an outreach conference with an international evangelist and a friend of Israel, David Hathaway, who has ministered worldwide for over 60 years. This year he celebrated his 50 anniversary since his first ever visit to Israel in 1961. It was a very joyous celebration with the theme: Israel – yesterday, today and forever. He has a big heart and a big passion for Israel and the people of Israel and it was reflected in his message.
 
Over 700 people attended the 2-day conference. Most of them NON-believers and many of the guests at the conference were an older generation, holocaust survivors and many other Israelis. For most of them it was the first time they had ever heard the gospel of a Jewish Messiah preached to them. Their response was overwhelming!
 
On the first night more than 300 people responded to the altar call, came forward to receive Yeshua as their Messiah! The second night 200 people also gave their lives to Yeshua. It has exceeded all our expectations! We have never seen such a large number of people in Israel responding to the message of Yeshua.  
 
We saw what a difference our social work makes. The love, patience and help to people does wonders. We thank God that Voice of Judah is a ministry that continuously bears such fruit.

Middle East Intelligence Report on Israel from Dr Michael Evans

American President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu26-05-2011 – Dr. Michael Evans  – Jerusalem Prayer Team

I’ve been in Washington D.C. for the past few days to give you an inside “behind the scenes” look at what’s going on and to tell you the truth no one else will. What the media is telling you is incomplete and often completely misleading. A declaration of Palestinian statehood would not be merely a symbolic act at the UN. Israeli defense minister Ehud Barak warned his compatriots that a pro-Palestinian, diplomatic tsunami was about to crest. Presently the Palestinians have observer status at the UN, as do the Vatican and the EU. The desire to be a sovereign member is not a pipe dream.

Last year President Obama declared that he hoped the Palestinian state could be admitted to the United Nations by the time world leaders gathered in September in New York City for the annual General Assembly session. A request for membership requires a two-thirds majority to be approved. Today that would mean 128 votes from 192 member states. Presently 112 countries have recognized a sovereign Palestinian state with acceptance to come from more in the next few months provoked by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s response to President Obama’s bold declaration.

The president knows that he could push it through the Security Council, or if the U.S. abstained, it would be passed. President Obama was quite clever when he met with Mr. Netanyahu when he said, “Symbolic actions to isolate Israel at the United Nations in September won’t create an independent state.” In terms of UN membership, he is correct. Chapter two, article 4 of the UN Charter says, “The admission of any such state to membership in the United Nations will be affected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.”

PM Netanyahu Addresses Congress—It Was Amazing

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu25-05-2011 – Dr. Michael Evans – Jerusalem Prayer Team

The highlight of my trip to Washington to defend Israel as your Ambassador was this morning as I watched my friend of thirty years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, address a special joint session of Congress. It was a powerful and amazing speech, and it effectively laid out the case for America to stand with Israel in opposition to the UN plan to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state. I urge you to take the time to watch the full speech linking below. Near the beginning of his remarks, the Prime Minister said:

Israel has no better friend than America. And America has no better friend than Israel. We stand together to defend democracy. We stand together to advance peace. We stand together to fight terrorism. Congratulations America, Congratulations, Mr. President. You got bin Laden. Good riddance!

In an unstable Middle East, Israel is the one anchor of stability. In a region of shifting alliances, Israel is America’s unwavering ally. Israel has always been pro-American. Israel will always be pro-American.

We must stand with Israel. It is the right thing to do politically, militarily, economically and most importantly—prophetically. We cannot allow the leaders of America to direct our course so that we turn our backs on the Chosen People now.

Pray for the Peace of JerusalemDear friends and family in Christ in Australia and around the World,
 
We’re forwarding the following email we received from Curt Landry of One New Man United
with a 2 minute Youtube video link regarding a Call for Millions of Muslims to invade Jerusalem, Israel on 15th May 2011. 
 
Please pray as never before for Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), because if this truly happens, we will see a major war breakout in Israel very soon.

Dear Elijah List Readers:

In late March, 2011, a battle cry was released in the Middle East as the Palestinian Authority recreated a Third Intifada page, which had previously been banned by Facebook. This page was calling for the destruction of the State of Israel and encouraging the gathering of millions to invade Israel’s borders on May 15, 2011. Once the page was removed from Facebook, additional pages with the same call to action have been posted. Since their creation, these Facebook pages have gathered hundreds of thousands of “Likes,” with similar pages gathering over 3,000,000 votes of support.

Iran Government Releases “Second Coming” Video

31st March 2011

The government of Iran has released a movie called The Coming Is Near designed to prepare Muslims around the world for the return of the “twelfth Mahdi.” This radical Islamic doctrine, devoutly believed by Iranian President Ahmadinejad, teaches that an end-time war will sweep the world following which this hidden descendant of Mohammed will return to place the entire earth under Shari’a law.

The video claims that Iran is destined to rise as a great power in the last days to help defeat America and Israel and usher in the return of the Mahdi. And it makes clear the Iranians believe that time is fast approaching.

“The Hadith have clearly described the events and the various transformations of countries in the Middle East and also that of Iran in the age of the coming,” said a narrator, who went on to say that America’s invasion of Iraq was foretold by Islamic scripture—and that the Mahdi will one day soon rule the world.

Three massacred children

Jewish Fogel family slaughtered by Palestinian terroristsBy Caroline B. Glick is the senior Middle East Fellow at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC and the deputy managing editor of The Jerusalem Post.

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com

Following the massacre of the Fogel family, Netanyahu took to the airwaves, speaking to the hostile world. What could he have been thinking? Didn’t he get the memo?

Ruth Fogel was in the bathroom when the Palestinian terrorists pounced on her husband Udi and their three-month-old daughter Hadas, slitting their throats as they lay in bed on Friday night in their home in Itamar.
The terrorists stabbed Ruth to death as she came out of the bathroom. With both parents and the newborn dead, they moved on to the other children, going into a bedroom where Ruth and Udi’s sons Yoav (11) and Elad (4) were sleeping. They stabbed them through their hearts and slit their throats.

The murderers apparently missed another bedroom where the Fogels’ other sons, eight-year-old Ro’i and two-year-old Yishai were asleep because they left them alive. The boys were found by their big sister, 12-year-old Tamar, when she returned home from a friend’s house two hours after her family was massacred.
Tamar found Yishai standing over his parents’ bodies screaming for them to wake up.

Atrocity Rocks Israel

Posted by P. David Hornik from Beersheva, Israel on Mar 14th, 2011   
 
On Friday night at least one terrorist broke into a family’s home in Itamar, a settlement in Samaria (part of the West Bank). The result was that a mother and father, Ruth and Udi Fogel (35 and 36), and three of their six children—two boys, Yoav (11) and Elad (3), and a girl, Hadas (three months)—were stabbed to death. The terrorist(s) escaped and are still being sought by the Israeli security forces.

An Ancient Tablet discovered may prove Yeshua’s death and resurrection

Messianic Bibles for Israel 18/02/2011

In Jerusalem a tablet, three-foot-tall with 87 lines written in Hebrew is believed by scholars to date back to decades just before the Yeshua’s (Jesus’s) birth. It is still causing quite a stir worldwide with biblical and archaeology scholars, because it speaks about a messiah who will rise from the dead after three days.

The tablet was found near the Dead Sea on the Jordanian side and it is a rare finding of a stone with ink writings from that time era. Some describe it as a type of Dead Sea Scroll written on stone.

The authenticity of the Tablet has not faced any challenge.

The owner of the stone, David Jeselsohn, an Israeli-Swiss collector said: “I couldn’t make much out of it when I got it.” Jeselsohn, himself an expert in antiquities. “I didn’t realize how significant it was until I showed it to Ada Yardeni, who specializes in Hebrew writing, a few years ago. She was overwhelmed. ‘You have got a Dead Sea Scroll on stone,’ she told me.”

Much of the text, a vision of the apocalypse transmitted by the angel Gabriel, draws on the Old Testament, especially the prophets Daniel, Zechariah and Haggai.

1) What a glorious weekend it was with the Spirit of God moving powerfully in Geelong & Point Cook in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne as Pr Daniel preached the uncompromising Word of God, challenging the Church to rise up and take a stand in the name of Jesus for our nation of Australia!
 
On Saturday morning and afternoon in Geelong, many people united in the presence of God to worship, pray and hear the prophetic Word of the Lord at the “It’s Time To Speak Up” Conference” at the Waterfront Christian Church. There was a very special focus at the conference to pray and stand for Israel.
 
Pr Daniel spoke on Islam, the Middle East, Israel and the End-Times as many were shocked to hear some of the information shared. The conference organisers did a great job. Everyone was mightily blessed!
 
On Sunday Pr Daniel ministered at a Church in Point Cook where many from various walks of life came to hear the Word of God. One of the most exciting moments was when a drug dealer came to the altar and gave his life to Jesus! Many were weeping and absolutely touched by the almighty presence of God.

Seven Reasons Why I Pray and Take a Stand with Israel

James W. GollA VIEW FROM MY CHAIR With James W. Goll

The following is an excerpt from the first chapter of my book Praying for Israel’s Destiny. The book is solid and relevant for these days. Having been an Israel Intercessor for many years, these truths roll out of my heart with ease. May you be enlightened and encouraged to take a stand in these perilous times.

1. Israel is Still the Apple of God’s Eye, and His Inheritance.

Pray and take a stand for Israel because Israel is still very close to God’s heart. I have already shared Zechariah 2:8, which says, “He who touches you , touches the apple of His eye.” Centuries before Zechariah prophesied these words, Moses wrote a song containing a very similar picture:

For the Lord’s portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance. . . . He encircled him, He cared for him and He guarded him as the pupil of His eye. . . . He spread His wings and caught them. He carried them on His pinions. Deuteronomy 32:9–11

Psalm 148:14 declares, “And He has lifted up a horn for His people, praise for all His godly ones; even for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.” Did you hear that? “A people near to Him.” I love that!

The first reason I pray for Israel is not profound. I pray for Israel because I want to be close to God’s heart and I want to be in alignment with God’s sight. If God says that Israel is the apple or pupil of His eye, then I want to pray with insight–with His sight. Do you want to be close to the heart of God? Then be close to the things, people and purposes that are close to His heart. Fulfill your appointment. Take a stand and be a watchman for Israel!

Egypt, the great antagonist of Israel

Egypt, America, and IsraelEgyptA response to the unrest in Cairo by ICEJ Executive Director, Rev. Malcolm Hedding

February 1st, 2011

Egypt, but for brief moments in history, has always been a great antagonist of the people of Israel. This saga really began some 1700 years before Christ when Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, was wrongly accused and left to rot in an Egyptian jail. If it were not for God’s supernatural deliverance he would have perished there! His rise to power was phenomenal as was his leadership skills. He not only saved Egypt from starvation but he delivered his family and the known world as well and thereby guaranteed the existence of the Jewish people and the Messianic line of descent. If it were not for God’s supernatural deliverance Israel would have perished!

As time went by a Pharaoh arose “who knew not Joseph” and literally enslaved the Jewish people, murdered their babies and threatened the nation with extinction. God went before them and provided a deliverer in the person of Moses. He brought Israel out of Egypt with great signs and wonders by his hands. If it were not for God’s supernatural deliverance Israel would have perished!

When the children of Israel got to the Red Sea the Egyptians had them cornered. There was nowhere to go and so, once again, by a miracle, in response to Moses outstretched arm, the sea parted and Israel escaped unharmed on dry land. If it were not for God’s supernatural deliverance Israel would have perished at the hands of the Egyptians!
