War, Peace and Israel (Part2)
By Joel Joseph
Researched by Pastor Boyd

Introduction:
The next big Bible prophecy to hit the grand stage is war. This will not be some little skirmish. The Bible reveals a number of huge, dramatic wars which are unfulfilled at this stage.
Although we can’t accurately place these wars in terms of timing, there is enough information to give us a pretty close idea.
I’ve said so many times, it’s all about the grand prophetic clock, which is ticking its doom away, on the wall of the world’s life. The same clock is ticking away at the life on earth of all true believers, as we excitedly await our instant metamorphosis to glory.
The dovetail effect of fulfilled prophecy is about to release the Lion, the vultures, the vipers as well as the dove of eternal peace.
One thing that I’m always cognizant of is how exciting these times are, and how blessed and fortunate we are to be ambassadors for our Lord at this time.
When will the tribulation begin?
That would also identify the timing of the pre-tribulation rapture.
The tribulation period will begin only on a Feast of Trumpets. Will it be the next one in September 2021? Most probably, but we will see the signs of it approaching. The tribulation / pre-trib rapture will not occur at any time and without numerous signs, as many teach.
Jeremiah 25:12 “Then it will come to pass, when seventy years (Babylonian captivity) are completed, then I will punish the king of Babylon (type of the world), and that nation...I will make it a perpetual desolation.”
The types and symbolism in the verse above are most interesting. Babylon is always a type of the world system. In 1948 Israel became a nation (Isaiah 66:8) at the bequest of the League of Nations, which became the UN. So, we could say Israel went into a type of Babylonian (worldly) captivity in 1948, when it became a nation of the world.
Note the verse above says that after the seventy years are completed the destruction of Babylon / world / tribulation will take place. 70 + 1948 takes us to 2018. But the verse says “when completed”, so it could be a few years after the seventy years. For example, 73 years added to 1948 would bring us to 2021.
What we can say for sure is that we are very close indeed.
Now, this is all type and shadow so we can’t go overboard on it, but that little discourse is quite logical and possible, especially with so many other things lining up as well.
Israel the victim and the victor:
In the previous edition I shared a lot on the foundation of why Israel is so important and such a target by so many.
Israel is: ●Called ●Elected ●Rebelled ●Rejected ●Regathered ●Repented ●Reconciled ●Received. ●Accredited ●Approved ●Authorised and ●Acknowledged.
This string of most important words above plots the entire course of Israel’s history. Within this is God’s plan and purpose and the very reason why Satan hates and must eliminate Israel.
Tumultuous times of war have marked Israel’s existence and are particularly evident when God is about to do something big with Israel. This is the situation right now. Israel is on the verge of her spiritual Promised Land, and war waits in the wings!
In these times, Satan and his clan, the world-system is planning victory over God’s plan for Israel, as Israel becomes the victim again.
Isaiah 8:9-10 “Be shattered O you peoples, and be broken in pieces! Give ear all you from far countries. Gird yourselves but be broken in pieces, take counsel together, but it will come to nothing. Speak the word but it will not stand, for God is with us. (Israel)”
Eat that - United Nations!
The victim of the ages will ultimately be the victor, the crowning glory of God’s purposes.
Israel has been chosen by God to be His battleaxe. (Jeremiah 51:20)
Zechariah 9:13 “I have bent Judah, My bow, fitted the bow with Ephraim, (some western nations) and raised up your sons O Zion, against your sons O Greece, and made you like the sword of a mighty man.”
The original word used for “Greece” here includes modern day Turkey and some of the surrounding nations of the Gog and Magog war. I hope you see the significance of that verse now!
Isaiah 41:15 “Behold, I will make you (Israel) into a new threshing sledge with sharp teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and make the hills like chaff.” (This is also a prophecy of war to come.)
I can’t imagine the incredible, insane, ignorant, stupidity of nations, leaders and people coming against God and His chosen – Israel.
Did you know that there is much significance and symbolism in the Hebrew tallit (blue and white striped prayer shawl), which was also worn by our Lord?
Numbers 15:38-39 “Speak to the children of Israel and tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments, throughout their generations and to put blue thread in the tassels of the corners. You shall have this so that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them...”
The tallit symbolizes the power and presence of God.
The war of the worlds:
We are going to see war break out in the Middle East very soon.
The next big war will be the Iran / Russia led war of Ezekiel 38 &39 (Gog and Magog)
Right now we are seeing major tensions developing between the various factions within Islam, with Iran on one side and Saudi Arabia and others on the other. Turkey, Russia and a number of allies are in the wings on Iran’s side.
But it is Israel, caught in the midst that will be the main target of this war, and not just because of Jew hatred. A major cause will be to plunder agricultural produce, mineral riches and the like.
Have a look now at this shocking portion of scripture and its far reaching consequences:
Isaiah 45:1-3 “The Lord says to Cyrus whose right hand I have held – to subdue nations before him and lose the armour of kings, to open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut. I will go before you and make crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I am the Lord. I am the God of Israel.”
This verse speaks of “losing the armour” of nations. In other words, making them weak, ready for defeat.
“The gates of bronze and bars of iron” above are most interesting. Bronze is a type of a nation mixed with sin, disobedience to God and judgement upon them. Iron represents “inflexible crushing rule.”
In modern terms, these nations could well refer to those under the sin and domination of Islam as well as those under socialist domination like Russia.
We know the parallels between Cyrus and President Trump. Does this verse indicate that he will remain in office? It may well be so! Whoever this modern day Cyrus is, he will “subdue evil nations, breaking them in pieces.” Is this the war of Gog and Magog?
What is the “treasure of darkness”? It is oil. Saudi Arabia is the biggest oil producer in the world. The Bible indicates that Sheba (Saudi Arabia) will be an ally of Israel, with the other “young lions” (some western nations, including the US (Ezekiel 38:13) in this war.
The attackers come to “take plunder” but it is given to Israel and her allies. (Ezekiel 38:12)
Zechariah 2:8 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: He has sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you (Jerusalem) touches the apple of His eye.”
All of this will make Israel and her allies a prime, desirable target for Islamic enemies.
The verse above speaks of opening gates and doors that will not shut. Remember the “key of David” (Revelation 3: 7-8) which opens doors and no man shuts. This key is in the hands of the leader who blesses Jerusalem. (Isaiah 21:21) As regular readers know, I have said that Trump has the “key of David” in his hands!
So, what we have here is a brewing war of worlds. It is religious, socio-political and for food and produce.
Of course let’s not forget that it is God Himself who instigates this war of the worlds by putting “hooks in the jaws” of the northern forces and draws them in! (Ezekiel 38:4)
Jeremiah 49:36-39 “Against Elam (present day Iran) I will bring the four winds from the quarters of heaven...For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies....I will bring disaster on them – My fierce anger, says the Lord; and I will send the sword after them until I have consumed them...It shall come to pass in the latter days.”
The word “heaven” above, means the visible skies. That speaks of airborne warfare.
But when will this lot blow its top?
The answer is soon and very soon! Obviously, I don’t have a date, but I see ducks quacking and waddling into line all over the place.
I don’t have a “Lord told me” to share, and I’m not into reading tea leaves or listening to false watchmen with inflated thumbs from all their thumb-sucking, but I sense it’s very close. It will all come suddenly. It will confirm how little time is left.
The course of the world:
The world is on track. It is on course for destruction. (Ephesians 2:2) The kingdom of darkness is ranting and raving and throwing a mighty tantrum already.
We are not called to reform the world. We are called to be lights in the world, but not of the world. Our world is not of this world. Our world is perfect and sin free. It is called “The Kingdom of God.”
“The whole world lies under the power of the evil one.” (1 John 5:19) “Satan deceives the whole world.”(Revelation 12:9)
We are to judge ourselves now so that we will not be judged or condemned with the world. (1 Corinthians 11:31)
The mass media and associates:
Be very sure of this: If Satan is the god of this world (which he is) his mouthpiece is the mass media. But more and more it is also the big world conglomerate companies with media influence as well. They are automatically, by default, enemies of all things of God and His truth.
They are automatically on the side of evil, sin and unrighteousness, which is all escalating now as the end-time curtain rises more and more.
The mass-media are a threat to all things of God, but it is they who will not endure.
They are anti God’s plan for Israel. They have written Israel’s doom in their book of futility.
Jeremiah 17:1 “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with the point of a diamond it is graven upon the tablet of their heart...”
The media have written Israel’s sin with their poisoned pen of sin with a diamond point, the diamond being hard and enduring. They are right about Israel’s sin. But they are WRONG about the overall picture. Israel’s sin is soon to disappear. The sin of the media will endure and remain unto their terrible judgement.
Purity coming to Israel:
As we are to come out of the world and be separate, so redeemed Israel is to come out of the world. (Babylon)
Isaiah 48:20 “Go forth, get out of Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans...say, ‘The Lord has redeemed His servant Jacob (Israel).”
This verse above has a powerful message within it for the church as well. The church is not to try to convert Israel to Babylonian activities of the Roman influenced church, like Christmas, Easter and the like.
Zephaniah 1:4 “...Against the inhabitants of Jerusalem, I will cut off every trace of Baal from this place, the names of the idolatrous priests, with the pagan priests.
Baal worship involves the Babylonian pagan practices of Christmas, Easter and the like. (Look it up) Note that it is even the names that are forbidden! The word Easter is the name Ishtar, an evil god.
Isaiah 13:19 “Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, will be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah...”
Zechariah 13:2 “It shall be in that day, says the Lord of hosts, ‘that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they shall no longer be remembered. I will also cause the prophets and the unclean spirits to depart from the land.”
Isaiah 57:14 “...Prepare the way, take the stumbling block out of the way of My people.”
Tragically, the church rooted in Rome has done the exact opposite of the verse above!
Ezekiel 20:41-42 “I will accept you (Jews) as a sweet smelling aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles. Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I lifted My hand in an oath to your fathers.”
Hosea 2:23 “I will sow her (Israel) for Myself in the earth, and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; Then I will say to those who were not My people, ‘you are My people’! And they shall say, ‘You are My God.’”
God’s biblical, holy plans for Israel and His love is despised by the world. The things of God’s ways and word are the new hate speech. All things of holiness and righteousness are under attack.
One way to freak out the liberal left new world order brigade is to live in holiness and righteousness.
A qualifying mark to be part of new world order thinking is to be full of sin and unrighteousness and to hate God’s plans for His people Jew and Gentile alike.
Peace and Israel:
Psalm 147:11-14 “The Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy...He makes peace in your borders.”
Psalm 120:7 “I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.”
The world has tried very hard right from ancient days to prevent Israel from finding her peace. The world’s days are numbered!
Isaiah 9:7 “Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end...”
►You can’t stop prophesied war from coming. You can’t stop the tribulation from coming. You can’t stop eternal, victorious, glorious peace from coming!
Finally
Peace comes when you, in your Landrover, lost in the desert, find your way out. That’s a personal experience (a few times) I know what it’s like to breathe a huge sigh of relief! But this is nothing compared to what’s coming!
In these days, through the revelation of the Spirit of God you must see kingdoms, devils and demons, angels, heaven, new life, eternal peace and hell. You must understand the power of crowd psychology, and group speak in the arising deception.
How do you know that you are a true child of God, on the right track? You will hate sin and love righteousness. You will overcome the world. You will stand strong and in peace in troubled times.
“Each man's work will become manifest for the Day will disclose it.” (1 Corinthians 3:13)

The "devil" is an invented bogeyman to blame all misfortune on, and to scare the gullible into behaving.
