PROPHETIC UPDATE

A Great Revolution
It is very interesting to note the theme of Netanyahu’s speech at the UN a few days ago. The countries at the UN that still wish for the death of Israel and support decision after decision to that effect need to take note. There is no country on earth that made so much progress in one year as Israel. Hundreds of heads of states have visited Israel in this one year, many of them for the first time. And then Netanyahu asked the UN: Does this sound to you like a country which is about to disappear from the face of the earth?
Israel is on the forefront of technology: in the medical world, agriculture, water, medicine, internet security, communication and much more. Countries are lining up to acquire this technology. Does this sound like a country about to disappear? The UN’s decision suggests that this is the most hated country on earth.
Who is the most hated nation on earth? You know who. And why? It is due to the fallen nature of man to hate the best and most intelligent out of jealousy. The Arabs have also hated them right from the beginning. Read Rom. 9. Jacob was chosen above Esau, and Isaac above Ismael. Israel delivered most Nobel prize winners in the world – even before they became a nation.
In this one year Netanyahu has visited countries in the entire six continents, some more than once. Once again, does this sound like a country about to disappear from the earth?
Israel’s enemies have attacked them a few times in the conventional way in order to destroy them. The first attack occurred in the year the nation was founded and they were barely able to create an army, and, in total, had fewer than 1 million citizens. But with each attack Israel defended themselves successfully within days and defeated the enemy. Since 1973 none of Israel’s enemies has dared to attack them in the conventional manner. Does this sound like a country which is about to disappear from the face of the earth?
Here we have a revolution in progress indeed. People need to realize that a wonder from God is taking place in Israel. Hating Israel is standing on the wrong side of reality, and above all, standing on the wrong side of the Bible.
And then, even more noteworthy, Netanyahu proceeded by quoting Isaiah 42:6 from the Bible: “I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles.” These words can be found in several prophecies. And this week Netanyahu stood before the entire world and read this prophecy in the UN and told them in so many words: Prophecy is being fulfilled before your eyes but you are too blind to see it.
However, Netanyahu did not only talk to the nations. He was actually also talking to many churches and individuals: Those who think that they have all the Bible knowledge man can have, but they actually don’t understand a single one of the hundreds of prophecies concerning Israel. They consider Israel in the same way the nations in the UN consider Israel: just a co-incidental mistake of history and a temporary creation of the UN, to disappear again quickly.
Listen very carefully to Netanyahu’s words: ISRAEL IS HERE TO STAY! If you don’t understand Israel, you are as blind as the UN. If, as a Christian, you wish Israel dead, you don’t understand the Bible. God brought them back and He will never extinguish their light to the nations. Read the last verse in Amos. We are not suggesting that the verse Netanyahu read has already been fulfilled. In the 1000 years which will start shortly, Israel will also be the spiritual light to the nations as they are today in the technological area. Prophecy is certainly being fulfilled in front of us while the majority of Christians are too blind and jealous and too tightly cocooned in their own private theology to see the truth of the Bible playing out in front of their eyes.
It was a tragic day when Jesus caught the church of the day, the Jewish leaders, totally denying and rejecting Him. In the same way, it is tragic that the Christian world today cannot read the Bible where Israel is concerned, and they ignore and reject the very greatest sign of our Lord’s return.
A revolution is taking place, Netanyahu said. And now I hope and pray that this revolution will affect Christians, churches and Christian organisations and movements. Let us open our eyes. The Lord is doing great things. Israel is still in unbelief. This also is the process laid out for them in prophecy. They will return in unbelief and only then will they be saved at our Lord’s return (Rev. 19). Following that there will be a second complete return of Jews to Israel, and, this time, in FAITH.
Wake up, Christian, the return of our Lord is close. Prophecy is being fulfilled and many do not know this. Download the app. “Behold Israel” by Amir Tsarfati on your phonbe and stay up-to-date every week with events in the Middle East connected to end-times and the imminence of the rapture.
