The Iranian bomb, Middle East Peace, and the Ezekiel Rapture

 

[Keraz]

Go to the Attack now: Elam, Aram and Kir!

The Lord is actually encouraging Iran and its allies to attack Israel. It’s a bit like Clint Eastwood saying: “C’mon; make my day”! [Elam & Media = Iran, Aram = Syria and Lebanon, Kir = Arabia.]

Isaiah 21:2-7 I see the future: The betrayer will betray and the spoiler will spoil. Advance Elam, up Media, to the attack! Do not hesitate, make your move! I am seized by pain, trembling in fear, horrified by what I hear, aghast by what I see. The leaders and generals sit down to eat and drink – Get up now! It’s time to prepare your weapons and post a lookout. He must be fully alert to warn us if he sees columns of mounted troops advancing.

Isaiah 22:5-6 For the Lord has ordained a Day of disaster, a Day of panic and cries for help in the valleys and mountains. Elam prepares the main weapon of its might, the armoured troops of Aram are readied and Kir readies its defenses.

Isaiah 21:1 & 8-10 The lookout calls: it comes - A mighty blast sweeps up from the south, from a place of terror. A voice calls: ”fallen is the wicked land, her gods are shattered” My people are like threshed grain on the threshing floor. From the God of Israel, I have told you.

Isaiah 22:1-5 Tell me, what is amiss with you? Why have you climbed up onto the roof? Why do you panic and run out of your houses? Your city is in an uproar, those fallen have not been killed by the sword in battle. All your commanders have fled, the bravest soldiers have gone in all directions. That is why I said: leave Me to weep in misery. Do not console Me for the ruin of My people.

Isaiah 22:7-11 The Lord’s protection over Judah is removed and the Destroyer of the nations overruns them; their preparations and military might is of no avail, because they do not look to the One who made them, or have respect for Him who planned it all long ago.

Isaiah 22:12-14 On that Day, the Lord called for weeping and mourning, but instead there was joy and merrymaking, feasting and dancing. You say: ‘let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die”

Here are Words revealed by the Lord of Hosts - Your wickedness will never be wiped out, surely you will die for it. Ref REB, CJB. Some verses abridged and paraphrased.


A confederation of nations and entities will conspire to attack the State of Israel. Psalm 83:1-8 They prepare their weapons – ‘shafts tipped with fire’ - Psalms 7:13, their nuclear missiles and thousands of rockets. Jeremiah 49:35 But the commencement of their attack ‘calls forth the wrath of the Lord’ - Ezekiel 7:14. The Lord has ordained a Day of disaster, a mighty blast of thunder, earthquakes and fire. Isaiah 66:15-16, Jeremiah 25:30-38, Joel 1:15, Zephaniah 3:8, 2 Peter 3:10, Revelation 6:12-17

This mighty blast will come from the sun, Isaiah 30:25-28. Isaiah 29:5-6 Suddenly, all in an instant punishment will come from the Lord with thunder, earthquakes and a great noise, with storms and flames of devouring fire, that will crumble your enemies into dust. This shocking 1 day sunstrike, will literally fufill the over 100 prophesies about it. The initial flash EMP, will kill many in the military, because it will cause all rockets, bombs, etc, to explode, on or under the ground. Deut. 32:22, Psalms 35:8 Also many will be killed in the cities by the earthquakes and fires. Then there is a 24 hour period between the initial light flash of this coronal mass ejection and the arrival of the main mass of superheated hydrogen plasma. Everyone is terrified, Jer. 6:24-26, Luke 21:26, but some will party and ‘eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die’. Ezekiel 12:19-20

The Lord’s protection over the Jewish State of Israel is removed, because they do not look to Him who made them, or have respect for how He helped them in the past. The Israelis refuse to acknowledge God’s Hand in their affairs or call for His help so they will be ‘as grain on the threshing floor’. Luke 3:17, Jeremiah 8:5-12, Jer. 11:15-16, Isaiah 4:3-4

The main force of the CME will be upon the Middle East, all that area from the Nile to the Euphrates will be virtually depopulated, Ezekiel 30:1-5, Jeremiah 12:14.

This will enable the true righteous Israelites to gather and settle in the holy Land and the rest of the end time prophesies will unfold, culminating at the end of the age with the Return of Jesus for His 1000 year reign on earth. Maranatha!

That’s incorrect.

It’s not spiritual Israel Jesus comes to when He returns to Mount Olive and saves Jerusalem from destruction, then reigns forever from Jerusalem on the throne of David.

It’s not any so called spiritual Israel that god gathers from all over the world, back to the land God dispersed them from.

If Christians are now Israel, then since most of Israel is in unbelief and ungodly until they see ‘ the deliver come out of Zion’, then the church is ungodly and in unbelief until the return of Jesus, and He turns them away from ungodliness. Per Romans 11.

And it’s not so called spiritual Israel that is in the new covenant Jesus now mediates, that took effect at His death per Hebrews 9, but the promised new covenant with the HOUSE of Israel and the HOUSE of Judah, per Jeremiah 31.

Hebrews 8, 9, and 10 make it very clear that the Jeremiah 31 new covenant is the one that took effect when Jesus died, and Romans 11 makes it very clear that salvation only came to us gentiles to make Israel jealous, and that we are the wild Olive tree branches that are grafted in among the natural branches to the Israel olive tree, with Jesus as the roots of the tree. (Their covenant).

Thus we are not so-called spiritual Israel, and have not replaced the natural branches, nor is there a church covenant, but only a House of Israel and House of Judah new covenant that we gentiles are joined to by faith.

Period.

ALL of the 'branchs' were removed. Romans 11:23 says; IF they, the Jews do not continue faithless, in other words; the Jews must acknowledge Jesus, then they will be grafted back into the Tree.
Only Christian Jews belong and only Christian gentiles; ALL the faithful believers from every tribe, race, nation and language, are the true Israelites of God. Ephesians 2:11-18

Try reading it again and pay more attention. Just as I said most of Israeli is in unbelief but there is a remnant - still in romans 11- and they are in their new covenant NOW and gentiles who believe are grafted in among those remnant natural brranches NOW and when Jesus the deliverer comes out of Zion ALL Israel alive to see it is saved. All branches are not cut off as you so unlearnedly assert. See Romans 11:1 again to review. Review all of the chapter. Memorize it.

The Iranian bomb, Middle East Peace, and the Ezekiel Rapture

I think Israel tried to purchase those penetrating bunker busters that would penetrate deep within those nuclear facilites that ARE very deep under ground. This was during the Obama administration when he made that sham Nuclear Deal and so refused to sell them thise missliles - as far as I know. Haven't heard anything sunce ??? They are huge 1500 lb bad boys. Maybe Israel made their own since then? A normal nuke won't penetrate that deep.

Deuteronomy 32:22 sounds like a Super Volcanic eruption. This sounds like the event of the 5th Trumpet, when an angel with the key to the Bottomless pit, opens it up and out come demon locusts to torture the unbelievers. I am not discounting a solar flare. During the Bowls, the sun scorches mankind. Exciting times aye!

We just cannot comprehend the dramatic times ahead. Exciting? For sure!
Over 100 prophesies make it quite clear that the Lord will use the sun at the Sixth Seal event. The EMP effect will penetrate the earth and cause tectonic plate shift; all the mountains and islands moved from their place.....
As well as a pole reversal, plus making any explosives blow up.

The 5th Trumpet comes during the final 3 1/2 years before Jesus Returns. The Lord's terrible Day of fiery wrath is several years before that.

Hey Keraz, what is the state of New Zealand now? Are you suffering lock-downs, mandates, limited freedoms like Australia?

Yes, the fourth horseman of the apocalypse is here too.

It’s not spiritual Israel Jesus comes to when He returns to Mount Olive and saves Jerusalem from destruction, then reigns forever from Jerusalem on the throne of David.

True Christians are spiritual Israelites:

"For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God." - Rom. 2:28-29

"And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God." - Gal. 6:16

“I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan."- Rev. 2:9

“Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you." Rev. 3:9

And yes, Christ is coming back to spiritual Israel. Christ's coming in the flesh to physical Israel and a physical temple was a forerunner of Him returning as a Spirit to spiritual Israel and a spiritual temple. The physical nation of Israel is a type of God's Church. There's a reason why the Bible refers to that nation as a congregation and "the church in the wilderness".

 

[Curtis]

For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God." - Rom. 2:28-29

That verse does not say gentile believers are spiritual Israel - it says that genetic Jews aren’t really Jews today under the new covenant, until they are born again and receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and are spiritually circumcised.

National Israel has the new covenant - and if Christians become spiritual Israel, it’s only because of being grafted in as a wild Olive Branch among the natural Olive Branches to the Olive tree of Israel, and not because they replaced national Israel.


Rom 11:17And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;


Rom 11:24For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree:how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

 

[Keraz]

Literal Israel and Spiritual Israel

Throughout the New Testament, as well as in some prophecies of the Old Testament, the Bible makes a transition from literal Israel to spiritual Israel. Hosea 2:23, Romans 2:28-29; Galatians 3:29; Romans 9-11

In Revelation 12:1-17, we find this transition from literal to spiritual Israel in the prophetic language of symbols. In verse 2, the symbolic woman is pregnant. Her child is Jesus who was born a Jew in the land of Judah. In verse 4 the dragon/Satan seeks to destroy the child Jesus when He is born. This was fulfilled by Herod: Matthew 2:13-16. In verse 5 the child is caught up to God in heaven, representing the resurrection of Christ.

As the prophecy progresses in verse 6, the woman no longer represents ethnic Israel but has now transitioned to spiritual Christian Israel: fleeing from persecution during the prophesied 42 months of the Great Tribulation. Verses 7-12 describes the victory gained over Satan by Jesus’ death on the Cross and how Satan and his angels are finally thrown down to the earth, 1260 days, three and a half years, the 42 month period before Jesus physically Returns.

Then, in verse 13 the woman is again brought to view, being persecuted by Satan. In verse 14 she is given wings of an eagle so as she can escape. Verses 6 and 14 present a major prophetic transition to God’s people. Both the woman and her place have changed from ethnic Israel in the Middle East to spiritual Israel and the place God has prepared for her. Note that some Christians remain: verse 17 and Satan persecutes them. They are the ‘many’ that agreed to the 7 year treaty of peace with the Anti-Christ, Daniel 11:32a and do not go into exile: Zephaniah 14:2


It is important to understand three truths outlined in the prophecy and confirmed both in the New Testament and in the history of the church:

1. After the death of Christ, the Israel of God, transitioned from literal Israel to spiritual Israel. From an ethnic people to all peoples. 1 Peter 2:9-10
2. God’s faithful people: the woman, are moved from the holy Land to a place of safety on earth, given to her by God, to avoid the Great Tribulation.
3. The new Israelites of God: all true Christians, are the focal point of the New Testament and the inheritors of God’s promises to ancient Israel.

Thinking that God still has a plan to redeem ethnic Israel; the Jewish people, conflicts with many prophesies that say how Judah will be judged and only a remnant will survive. It is Christians, from every race, nation and language who are God’s true, righteous people. Galatians 6:16; the Overcomers [Israelites] of God.

The ‘woman’ in the latter part of this prophecy represents spiritual Israel: all faithful believers in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28; Romans 2:28-29

Revelation 12 presents us with a prophetic outline of God’s Christian people in the symbolic form of a woman. In the first part of Revelation 12, the woman is the literal House of Judah located in Palestine, The latter part of the same prophecy makes use of the same symbols that took literal Israel on their journey to Canaan; to now describe the journey of the woman, the Christian Israelites of God, to a safe place on earth where they can worship Him in safety, until the 1260 days of the Great Tribulation have passed.

The biggest sign pointing to the rapture is the tribulation and the revealing of the son of perdition just prior to the first resurrection.
