Biblical Prophecies Are Being Fulfilled

Of course we are all watching Israel.  She is the apple of God's eye.  I honestly can't understand how some very nice, very smart, biblically educated people come to the conclusion that "God is finished with Israel when the Church came along." (replacement theology)

Every day more headlines come out showing that Israel, is indeed, at the center of basically everything going on.

Here is some of what Netanyahu just said at the United Nations as reported by Joel Rosenberg;

Washington, D.C., October 2, 2013) -- “In our time the Biblical prophecies are being realized,” Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu declared before world leaders gathered at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.

“As the prophet Amos said, they shall rebuild ruined cities and inhabit them,” Netanyahu said. “They shall plant vineyards and drink their wine. They shall till gardens and eat their fruit. And I will plant them upon their soil never to be uprooted again. Ladies and gentlemen, the people of Israel have come home never to be uprooted again.”

I don’t personally recall a single other Israeli leader in the modern era who has spoken so clearly of the fulfillment of Bible prophecy. Perhaps David Ben Gurion did, for the first Israeli premier had a great interest in the Scriptures. But Netanyahu’s own interest in the Scriptures has been growing significantly in recent years, as I have noted on the blog, and increasingly pronounced in his public statements. At a speech at the Auschwitz death camp in 2009, for example, Netanyahu declared that the prophecies of Ezekiel 37 -- the dry bones of the Jewish people coming back together miraculously to form the State of Israel -- had come to pass in his lifetime.

Netanyahu also alluded in the speech to the Biblical prophecies of a Persian king named “Cyrus” would rise up one day and set the Jewish people free from captivity.

“The Jewish people’s odyssey through time has taught us two things: Never give up hope, always remain vigilant. Hope charts the future. Vigilance protects it,” Netanyahu said. “Today our hope for the future is challenged by a nuclear-armed Iran that seeks our destruction. But I want you to know, that wasn’t always the case. Some 2,500 years ago the great Persian king Cyrus ended the Babylonian exile of the Jewish people. He issued a famous edict in which he proclaimed the right of the Jews to return to the land of Israel and rebuild the Jewish temple in Jerusalem. That’s a Persian decree. And thus began an historic friendship between the Jews and the Persians that lasted until modern times.”

Friends, I will be very, very surprised if the Bride of Christ is still here on earth watching and waiting for the Bridegroom for another 30-40 years.  The birth pangs and events that Jesus and the prophets told us to watch for seem to coming at a fantastic pace!

Are you ready to hear the trumpet call of God?

Are you EXCITED to hear the trumpet call of God?

Are you EAGER to meet the Bridegroom?

Are we living pure and chaste lives, showered, dressed and ready?

Maybe tonight.......
