Jewish Prophecy About Messiah Coming

Many of you are probably aware that the Jews of Israel have been talking a lot lately about rebuilding a Temple in Jerusalem and Messiah coming.  Of course the interesting thing is that they don't believe Jesus was the Messiah so they are still watching for a Messiah to come.

Of course the Bible would tell us Christians that the Jews who have rejected Jesus will accept the Antichrist as their Messiah and this will happen AFTER the rapture of the church.

When the Antichrist signs a peace agreement with Israel there will be joy in the streets of Israel...but 3 1/2 years into that peace agreement Antichrist will turn on the Jews, sit in their newly built Temple and demand to be worshiped as God.

When the Jews of Israel realize they have accepted the wrong messiah, Antichrist will start killing Jews and the Bible says that 2/3 of the world's Jews will be killed before Jesus returns to rescue what is left of them...and WE WILL RETURN with Jesus to witness His return to earth, the vanquishing of Satan into the Abyss and then to rule and reign with Him.

Zechariah 13
In the whole land,” declares the Lord,
    “two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
    yet one-third will be left in it.
9 This third I will put into the fire;
    I will refine them like silver
    and test them like gold.
They will call on my name
    and I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are my people,’
    and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”

Of course this hasn't happened yet....but certainly will.  One main reason Satan wants to kill all the Jews is so that there will be NONE LEFT TO CALL ON JESUS' NAME....and hence break God's word...making Him a liar.

So one thing we can watch for is the Jews looking for a Messiah who is NOT JESUS THE CHRIST. This should give us an indication about how late the hour is before Christ comes for His bride.

Now notice that the tensions that are happening between Iran and Saudi Arabia are getting the Jews interested that the messiah could be close.

When Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties with Iran, this created a chain reaction that led Bahrain and other Middle Eastern countries to expel Iranian diplomats. Unwittingly, Saudi Arabia’s actions can be seen as the fulfillment of a messianic Jewish prophecy found in the ancient Jewish holy book known as the Yalkut Shimoni.

The Yalkut Shimoni, a compilation of rabbinic commentary on the Bible, is believed to have been composed in the 13th century. Despite being written over 800 years ago, the Yalkut Shimoni has something extremely relevant to say about today’s headlines.

Speaking about the relevant passage in the Yalkut Shimoni, Rabbi Yekusiel Yehudah Halberstam, better known as the Klausenberger Rebbe, said, “Remember these words. Now, perhaps, they are not understood, but in time, they will be, and they will be a source of chizuk (strength) to Am Yisroel (the Jewish people).” The Klausenberger Rebbe was an Orthodox rabbi with thousands of followers in the years prior to World War II. Most of his followers were murdered in the Holocaust. The Klausenberger Rebbe died in Israel in 1994.

What was the prophecy of the Yalkut Shimoni that the Klausenberger Rebbe knew would bring comfort and strength to the Jewish people at a future date? The Yalkut Shimoni predicted that the year the Messiah would appear, the “King of Persia [Iran] will provoke the King of Arabia [Saudi Arabia].”

The two main sects in Islam are Sunni and Shia. While they both have much in common, the differences between the two sects in Islam have led to a long history of violent and deadly conflict among Muslims . Many of today’s political and diplomatic conflicts between Iran and other Muslim countries are connected to this Sunni-Shia divide

Not surprisingly, Iran and Saudi Arabia do not share the same Muslim sect. Although the vast majority of the Islamic world today is Sunni, Iran, and, to a lesser degree Iraq, are home to the majority of the region’s Shiite Muslims. Saudi Arabia is more than 90 percent Sunni. Iran, by contrast, is 95 percent Shiite.

Thus, when angry Shiite Iranians recently overran the Saudi embassy in Tehran this past Sunday to protest the execution of a Shiite Muslim cleric named Nimr al-Nimr, the duel between the Sunnis and the Shiites was inflamed. As a consequence, Saudi Arabia gave Iranian diplomats 48 hours to pack up and leave.

The full text of the Yalkut Shimoni connects the political tension between Iran and Saudi Arabia with good news about the full redemption of the Jewish people.

“Rabbi Yizchok said: 
"The year that Melech HaMoshiach [Messiah the King] will be revealed, all the nations of the world will be provoking each other. The King of Persia (Iran) will provoke the King of Arabia, and the King of Arabia will go to Edom (the West) to take counsel, but the King of Persia will in turn, destroy the entire world. The nations of the world will be outraged and panicked. They will fall on their faces, and they will experience pains like birth pangs. Israel too will be outraged and in a state of panic and ask, where do we go? But say unto them, “My children, do not fear, ‘Higiyah zman geulatchem’  [the time of your redemption has come]. And in the last redemption will be different from the first which was followed by further bondage and pain. After this last redemption, you will not again experience any further pain or subjugation.”

Are we ready for Jesus to return?  Are we eager for it or anxious (filled with anxiety) about it?

Don't be surprised if the trumpet blows...because we are told that if we are watching WE WON'T BE SURPRISED AT OUR LORD'S RETURN FOR HIS BRIDE!

1 Thessalonians 4
4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
