Middle East is Heating Up

As we move forward in 2017 I can honestly say that I have never seen anything like President Trump’s first few week in office.
I try to keep up with the news that appears to be related to Bible prophecy, but his first week seemed to come like birth pains: faster and faster. That is one of those Biblical things.

Pres. Trump did several things that caused me to bow my head and say, “Thank you God.”
“Thank you for giving America a leader with enough courage to remove the Muslim prayer rooms from the White House.”
“Thank you for giving America a leader with enough courage to cut off the flow of money to foreign and domestic groups that fund abortion.”
“Thank you for giving America a leader with enough courage to select strong Christians and people that love Israel to help him rule over America.”
“Thank you for giving America a leader that is willing to give Christians who seek to legally immigrate to the U.S. priority.”
“Thank you for these, and all of the other, blessings that you have bestowed upon America.”
Your Word says, “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16), and you have answered the prayers of multitudes.”

Nevertheless, we should not overlook the fact that the election of Donald Trump is causing the temperature to rise all over the Middle East. In fact, the fulfillment of other prophecies may be appearing on the horizon.
Pres. Trump’s promise to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is causing tempers to flare. Palestinian (and several Arab) leaders have already said it will be “a declaration of war.”

These persistent haters apparently don’t believe or don’t know that dividing Jerusalem will be a declaration of war against Jesus (Joel 3:2). “I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.”

Pres. Trump’s condemnation of the UN’s anti-Semitic Resolution 5334 that calls East Jerusalem and the West Bank “occupied territory,” and his statements of support for Israel, have been interpreted by the Israeli settlement movement as permission to build more housing in East Jerusalem and they are doing exactly that.

In the first week of Mr. Trump’s presidency, 566 construction permits were issued for new homes in East Jerusalem. Also, Prime Minister Netanyahu promised the soon approval of wide-scale building in all of the settlement blocks.

The Palestinians and other Arabs are going to have to act soon or their much desired two-state solution will essentially be a dream that never came true. And no matter what they do, when Jesus comes it will be gone forever.

As my good friend Don McGee recently said in the January 2017 issue of his Crown and Sickle Ministries newsletter, “The city of Jerusalem is called ‘the city of the great King’ (Psalm 48:2), and that great King is Jesus, not Allah or Mohammed or any other pagan religious icon.”

Then, there is Prime Minister Netanyahu’s upcoming visit to the White House (in early February, date not announced). Mr. Netanyahu said he will discuss the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the situation in Syria, and the Iranian threat. That is the Psalm 83 war, the destruction of Damascus (Isa. 17) and the battle of Gog and Magog. (Ezek. 38-39).

In 1995, Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act that requires the U.S. government to move the Embassy to Jerusalem unless the president of the U.S. signs a waiver that is good for six months.
U.S. presidents have signed a waver every six months since then. Pres. Obama signed the current waver and it is good until June 1, 2017.

Pres. Trump will have to decide whether he is going to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem or sign a waiver by then. He has stated he will move the capital to Jerusalem, if so he will have to do it by June or sign another waiver.

He hasn’t said for sure what he intends to do, but the IDF is planning for trouble on several fronts (Arabs in Israel, Arabs in Gaza, nations on Israel’s border, attacks on Israelis in other nations, etc.) in case Pres. Trump decides to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.

It is not unreasonable to believe that the situation in the Middle East could quickly turn hot, several wars could take place, cries for a peace treaty could increase, or even that “a man with a plan” could be standing on the sideline.

Pray for Pres. Trump, but know that the future is in God’s hands and all of His prophecies will be fulfilled.

Conclusion

What I believe will happen next in scripture in the Middle East is the Psalm 83 War that is stated in scripture like this:
“Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O Lord. Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: That men may know that thou, whose name alone is Jehovah, art the most high over all the earth.”

Look up for our redeemer is drawing near my friends. Maranatha…...
