With the
recent invasion, the brutal hand of the Russian army, nicknamed the
"Bear", is coming down in its arrogant and defiant manner against
a much smaller nation called Georgia. Many have referenced the verses in
Ezekiel 38-39 of the rising of Gog and Magog, some inferring that the
time is now but no, this is not yet that invasion from the north.
This is what
the LORD has given me on this. The time surely approaches but is not
yet. A rather large conflict is coming against Israel but it will not
yet involve Russia directly.
But Russia
continues -- as it long has -- to sponsor wickedness against Israel through
weapons supply to hostile, terrorist organizations and states that also
hate Israel. The "roll-call" reads like the "Who's
Who" of terror:
- The Palestinian Authority in Judea and
Samaria -- the so-called Fatah Party
- Hamas in the Gaza Strip
- Hezbollah permeating and taking control of
Lebanon
- Syria especially along the Golan Heights
- Iran
These are all training
Islamic fundamentalist "martyrs" while stocking
themselves with Russian and North Korean military armament as
they position themselves to strike at Israel in concert and obliterate her
from the map. Russia also controls many European countries through
threats based on their stranglehold on oil and gas supplies and
distribution systems in the old Soviet block of Europe. Since the
rise of the communist regime in the early 1900s, Russia has often used the
weapons of economic control coupled with blunt threat of military action
during its period of hegemony over the former Soviet states. If there
is any doubt of this still being so, just call somebody from Georgia.
War
will start in the near future between Israel and the hostile forces
surrounding Israel, lead and supervised by Iran. It might very well be
right after the election if the weakness of Obama is ordained by the
American voter. Nonetheless it will start soon. When Israel strikes Iran's
nuclear program, all of the surrounding aforementioned forces will
simultaneously erupt with a rocket barrage against Israel that will rain
down from all directions and on all of the land of Israel.
Though all
of these things are precursors to the final war of Armageddon, this is not
the time, and though Russia is a wicked force of strife and terror, they
will stay out of the main fray, at this time. The LORD ADONAI is
again, as in Lebanon 2006, going to use the flashing of swords of these
Arab enemies to hammer the people of Israel for the Jewish
people see that even the powerful IDF is not going to be able to save
them, only the LORD GOD of Israel, Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When the
final battle comes, the scripture says all of the nations of the world,
including whatever is left of the US, will come against Israel to destroy
her.
Ezekiel
38:7-13
"Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that
are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. After many days you will
be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those
brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains
of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the
nations, and now all of them dwell safely. You will ascend, coming
like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and
many peoples with you." 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "On that
day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you
will make an evil plan: You will say, 'I will go up against a land of
unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of
them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates' - to
take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste
places that are again inhabited, and against a people gathered from the
nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of
the land.
NKJV
Before Gog
and Magog appear, all of the Jews that the LORD is going to call back from
all nations of the world must come home. That has not happened yet --
it has only started. The scripture also says that the Jews will be living
in a secure peace in their own minds. That has not happened either.
The conflict that is coming soon will be a hard blow on the aggressors
and also a sobering blow to Israel and there will be the ceasing of fighting
temporarily. The Palestinian state will be brought into existence
then and all will seem well through the longing for peace that will hinge
on a man who will be lifted up as the hope of the world, finally
believing, "We have come to our senses and are settling this."
Russia is
flexing her military muscles again but is not quite ready to take on the US
in an all-out confrontation, though this definitely is a sign of what is
coming. Also we know the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock which
currently cover the Temple Mount will have to be removed to rebuild the 3rd
Jewish Temple. Well during this next conflict as rockets are launched by
hostile Arab forces, a missile that is headed at a totally different target
will be diverted by ADONAI and will destroy those Muslim antichrist
monuments and then the Temple Mount will be clear to rebuild the
Jewish Temple.
The forces
of the Iranian alliance mentioned above will be mightily bloodied but not
destroyed, for the UN, the US, and the rest of the world will demand mercy
from Israel again and the enemy will live to fight in the last days
alongside of Gog and Magog.
Ezekiel
38:1-6
Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Son of man, set your
face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and
Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD:
"Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and
Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out,
with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great
company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Persia,
Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;
Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all
its troops - many people are with you.
NKJV
Jeremiah
29:8-9
For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your
prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to
your dreams which you cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely to you
in My name; I have not sent them, says the LORD.
As I was in
a 40-day fast three years ago, I was reading through the Bible. When I
read the following verses the term "seventy years"
jumped off the page into my spirit and the question of "what do YOU
mean Lord by this 70 years" echoed in me.
Jeremiah
29:10-14
For
thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I
will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return
to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the
LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your
heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back
from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all
the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to
the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.
NKJV
It was
not five minutes after I read the above verses that the LORD spoke
into my spirit the following:
Add 70
years to the year of Israel's rebirth -- 1948. That would be the year
2018. Then subtract 7 years from the year 2018 which would be 2011 and that
is the year that the Tribulation will begin.
Now what
this means is this:
- There is going to be an ongoing struggle for
the next three years or so.
- Pestilence, famine, anarchy, wars and rumors
of war will occur also but again this is only leading up
to Tribulation.
- The earth is plummeting in its decadence and
sexual sin into complete moral corruption.
- Russia will continue to build and flex. They
will continue to strengthen any and all wicked governments who want to
destroy righteousness in any manner.
The time of
the gentile is going to come to an end, and then the time of mass Jewish
conversion to YESHUA the MESSIAH will start. The revival among the gentiles
has already started though it is certainly is not of the magnitude that it
is going to reach.It is going to be a world-wide revival that has
never been matched. This will be a true revival, not a warm, fuzzy worship
time of imagined signs, wonders and healings but of
weeping, bleeding souls who are convicted of their wicked ways as
they are cut to the heart, crying out in repentance. "LORD, what
shall we do to be saved?"
Acts
2:34-39
"For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
'The LORD said to my Lord,
'Sit at My right hand,
Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."'
"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has
made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter
and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we
do?"
Then Peter said to them,"Repent, and let every one of you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to
your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God
will call."
NKJV
Then, as is
currently starting to happening, masses of gentiles will totally
reject the LORD for the last time, mocking those who worship JESUS. Their
hearts will be hardened ever more to never enter in to the rest of the LORD
and so not into eternal presence with the FATHER. When the time of the Jew
starts the end of any mass gentile conversion is over.
The point of
all of this is:
Time is
short to witness the name of JESUS throughout the world. Those in your
family, friends and any around you who do not follow JESUS as SAVIOR and
LORD have only a short time to repent and be saved. If they do not accept
YESHUA as MESSIAH then they stand condemned unto eternal Hell. This is
severe times and a serious calling to each of us.
Mark
16:14-18
Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He
rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe
those who had seen Him after He had risen. And He said to them,
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe
will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In
My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by
no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover
NKJV
John
20:21-23
So Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you! As the Father has sent
Me, also so I send you." And when He had said this, He breathed
on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you
forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of
any, they are retained."
NKJV
