So guess what is on the FRONT PAGE of the Wall Street Journal today? Yep!...a picture of a section of the fence that Israel just built for $416 million on the Egyptian border to wall the whole thing off.
Why would those Jews do something so intolerant and unwelcoming?? (sarcasm)
"Officials say the barrier is necessary to insulate the country from regional turmoil and an influx of illegal immigrants."...says the caption under the photo.
JERUSALEM — Two years after construction began, Israel has finished the bulk of the work on a fence along its border with Egypt.
Closing off the rambling, 140-mile-long stretch of desert border will prevent the "unfettered flow of illegal infiltrators, the smuggling of drugs and weapons," said a statement from the Defense Ministry, which oversaw the $400-million engineering project.
Speaking at a ceremony marking the completion of the main section, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the effort to curb the illegal entry of migrants from Africa, reduced from more than 2,000 a month in January 2012 to fewer than 40 in December.
Stopping the migrants is one aim of the fence, which stands about 15 to 20 feet high and includes multiple layers of barbed wire, communications equipment, a patrol road and asphalt track. It is similar to portions of the barrier that seals off the occupied West Bank from Israel, although that fence includes sections of concrete wall.
Early last year, Netanyahu said Israel would build a similar fence along the desert border with Jordan.
The government says all African migrants entering Israel illegally in recent months have been placed in detention facilities before reaching Israeli cities, where an estimated 60,000 migrants and asylum seekers — widely called "infiltrators" — already live.
"Just as we have stopped infiltration into Israeli cities, so too we shall succeed in the next mission, repatriating the tens of thousands of infiltrators to their countries of origin," Netanyahu said.

So now Israel has a fence to keep the Palestinians out, the Egyptians out, the Lebanese out, the Syrians out and soon they will put up a fence along the Jordanian border. Yep...that should just about cover the entire border!
Dang!...those Jews are smart! They want to KNOW WHO IS COMING AND GOING from their country....who is there legally vs. illegally and also want to make sure they know if any terrorists, criminals, weapons and drugs are coming in.
Such common sense!! Of course here in America we have MILLIONS of illegals that come and go across the Mexican border...and instead of deporting them and building our own wall...we sign them up for food stamps, give them an apartment, deliver their babies in the hospital and then give those babies a U.S. citizenship and enroll them in public school!! Awesome!! We are so smart...and more importantly...SO TOLERANT!!
Of course this makes us think of the passage in Ezekiel 38:11 that speaks of Israel in the Last Days, "You (Antichrist?) will say, "I will invade a land (Israel) of unwalled villages: I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people--all of them living without walls and without gates and bars."
So what's up? If we are clearly in the Last Days and the Antichrist is most likely already on earth and getting ready to assume power....how is it that Israel is building walls instead of tearing them down so that this prophecy can be fulfilled?
Good question.
We believe that after the rapture of the church, events will transpire VERY quickly for those who are left behind. Remember that the Antichrist himself will sign a 7 year peace agreement with Israel AFTER the rapture. This agreement, in fact, is the signal that starts the clock ticking on the final 7 years before Christ returns. This will be the first major event that gets Israel to start letting it's guard down...making them "unsuspecting"...and maybe even leading to the point where they relax the borders with the Arab neighbors.
We also believe that the Antichrist may be the 12th Imam...the dude that millions of Muslims believe is coming in the Last Days. When this 12th Imam receives supernatural powers from Satan and starts calling down fire from heaven and doing all sorts of supernatural miracles...the Jews may begin to believe that he is the Messiah...which would explain why they let the Antichrist into the 3rd Temple 3 1/2 years into the peace agreement....which in turn begins the TIME OF JACOBS TROUBLE aka THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
So give that some thought. It's VERY possible that Ezekiel 38 and 39 are telling the story of The Tribulation and also the battle of Armageddon.
If you want a book that discusses these things VERY WELL, I would suggest MIDEAST BEAST by Joel Richardson.
Also, please remember to NOT GET ALL HUNG up in the timing of all these things. Just be joyous that the Lord is coming and continue to snatch people from the fire as God puts them in your midst.
