WAR NOT PEACE: THE GREAT DELUSION
At the sake of repeating, I thought it might be advantageous for you to
reread this study. It may help you to minister to others in vital areas that are coming to a head before our eyes.
" Who is wise, and shall understand these
things? Prudent, and shall know them? For the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them;..."(Hosea 14:9).
Satan is working overtime! ( he never sleeps!) Great deception is upon the
world, and in our backyard here in America. We are bombard by "worldly cares" with this Government that has another 1000 page
bill every week it seems. A GREAT DIVERSION! The media have almost TOTALLY excluded reports on the MOST dangerous and clandestine
operation of our "Leaders" which, IF maintained will be the most disastrous event in our nations history:
THE SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY LEADING TO THE FORCED DIVISION OF JERUSALEM AND
THE CREATION OF GREAT OVERT TERRORISM AGAINST ISRAEL AND JEW'S ALL OVER THE WORLD BY POLICIES THAT INSPIRE HER ENEMIES (as
well as ours) IN THEIR DESIGNS TO DESTROY HER, IN TOTAL DENIAL OF GOD'S WORD.
In this study that follows I want you to place your attention on the theme
of God's dealings with HIS NATION ISRAEL. You see we are His heavenly people, the church, called OUT of this world order to
serve Him now and He has given us the great gift of The Holy Spirit to dwell within us when we believed. This is the only
time in the history of mankind that a people have received God within them and as such, are His living Temple and citizens
of His Kingdom of Heaven not in the world but INSIDE OUR BEING! We are citizens of Heaven here until He calls us up.
BUT ISRAEL is His earthly people He called long ago who, AS A NATION, are
not in THE faith. That situation will change as I will show you here. And THE VIDEO I ATTACH will be further proof that Israel
IS THE APPLE OF HIS EYE AND EARTHLY PEOPLE OF GOD WHO WILL BE SAVED AS A NEW NATION UNDER GOD (THOSE WHO TURN TO HIM
IN FAITH) AFTER THE CHURCH IS REMOVED FROM THE EARTH AND GOD ONCE AGAIN DEALS WITH ISRAEL TO COMPLETE HIS UNCONDITIONAL PROMISES
TO HER AS SET FORTH IN THE SCRIPTURES!
THE DECEPTIVE OLIVE BRANCH EXTENDED TODAY A MERE PLOY.
"... When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather:
for the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye
can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?" (Matt. 16:2-3)
THE GREAT APOSTASY NEARING FULL BLOOM: THE DAY OF THE LORD CLOSER STILL
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not
come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;" (2 Thessalonians 2:3
)
THE FAITHFUL FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH: THERE IS FAITH
WHEN HE CALLS US! (See Luke 8:8)
"Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which
the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. I know that after
my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking
perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period
of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears" (Acts 20:28-31)
THE WRATH OF GOD KINDLED
Did you know that, today, both the United States and Great Britain are putting
the most powerful pressure possible upon Israel to get her to "divide the land of Israel"? Are you further aware that we have
been putting this incredible pressure upon Israel for 20 years?
" For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations ...
so shall all the nations drink continually, in turn, of My wrath " Obadiah 15, 16
"... there will I deal with and execute judgment upon them
for their treatment of My people and of My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations and because they have
divided My land." [Joel 3:2]
"PEACE PEACE" BUT THERE IS WAR BEHIND THIS MASK
OF DELUSION
"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the
day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision." [Joel 3:14]
"The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city,
and it shall be a ruinous heap." Isa.17:1
Isaiah 17:14
14 "And behold at evening tide trouble; and before the morning he is not. This
is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us."
Jeremiah 49:23-25
"Hamath and Arpad are dismayed, for they have heard bad
news. They are disheartened, troubled like the restless sea. Damascus has become feeble, she has turned to flee and panic
has gripped her; anguish and pain have seized her, pain like that of a woman in labor. Why has the city of renown not been
abandoned, the town in which I delight?"
ISRAEL WILL SUFFER FROM AMERICA'S DUPLICITY AND SELL OUT!
Isaiah 17:4-6
"In that day the glory of Jacob will fade; the fat of his body will waste away.
It will be as when a reaper gathers the standing grain and harvests the grain with his arm-- as when a man gleans heads of
grain in the Valley of Rephaim. Yet some gleanings will remain, as when an olive tree is beaten, leaving two or three olives
on the topmost branches, four or five on the fruitful boughs," declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
ISRAEL SINS: RELIANCE ON FOREIGN POWERS
Isaiah 17:10-11
"For you have forgotten the God of your salvation and have not remembered the
Rock of your refuge; therefore, though you plant pleasant plants and sow the vine-branch of a stranger, though you make them
grow on the day that you plant them, and make them blossom in the morning that you sow, yet the harvest will flee away in
a day of grief and incurable pain".
This is the reason for God's corrective actions. Though Israel was founded by Him in an act
of divine love, though Israel has been regathered by Him in these last days as a continuation of that love, still they do
not acknowledge their Messiah. This is the essence of their problem. It has been a long-standing issue, still not resolved,
according to the Bible.
Yet they lie in bed with Gentile nations!
The "planting" analogy in verse 11 may be pointing
out that all of their own efforts in planting the nation are useless until they come back to their God who made it possible.
They may carefully tend and cultivate the plants, but God will not bring the blessing of harvest until they look to Him in
repentance.
"Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help,
and rely on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they
look not to the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words, but
will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity" (Isa.31:1-2).
All of their political efforts to establish themselves as a respected nation in the international
community will be for naught, because they have disregarded their Maker.
They have refused to trust Him and have relied
on their own contrivances instead. They have sinned greviously agaist God. Despite that, His compassion for Israel continues.
One of the most frequent themes of the prophetic Scriptures is God's change of disposition towards Israel. He will draw them
to Himself in loving-kindness, finally coming forcefully to their aid when they call to Him in sincerity. That is what the
final verses of the chapter are about, how God defends Israel against worldwide animosity.
Isaiah 17:12-14
"Oh, the raging of many nations-- they rage like the raging sea! Oh, the uproar
of the peoples-- they roar like the roaring of great waters! Although the peoples roar like the roar of surging waters, when
he rebukes them they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweed before a gale. In the
evening, sudden terror! Before the morning, they are gone! This is the portion of those who loot us, the lot of those who
plunder us".
These verses, which complete the Damascus oracle, convey a distinctive change in tone and perspective.
They describe the international reaction to the events prophesied above. Extreme, off-the-scale outrage will be the world's
reaction to Israel's destruction of Damascus. The world already hates the nation of Israel. Can you imagine the level of loathing
that will be unleashed if Israel is forced to use nuclear weapons against Damascus? No matter how justified is Israel's case,
no matter how imperative their need to go nuclear, the world will go berserk.
A NUCLEAR EXPLOSION
Let's examine how this might come about. For the first time in history, we are on the brink of a
setting where this prophecy could be fulfilled. What is now being called the Tehran-Damascus-Hezbollah axis is a grave threat
to Israel. Iran's persistent campaign to acquire nuclear weapons continues unabated, weapons it has vowed to use for the destruction
of Israel.
Of course, Israel cannot allow that to happen, and has indicated it will take preemptive action
against Iran.
This course seems a certainty. Iran will not sit back passively if Israel strikes, it will use
all its means to attack Israel, including its allies in Syria and Lebanon. Hezbollah, based in southern Lebanon, has a formidable
arsenal of 13,000 missiles to use against Israel, some reportedly with chemical or biological capabilities. They are poised
to strike the population centers along Israel's Mediterranean coast, where the majority of Israel's citizens live.
Syria itself also has a substantial missile arsenal ready to use against Israel, also with WMD (weapons
of mass destruction) capabilities (Biological and Chemical Warheads).
You can probably see how this current situation fits precisely into the scenario of Isaiah's
prophecy. If Israel is struck by chemical or biological WMD from Syria and/or Hezbollah, they will have no choice but to utilize
nuclear weapons against Damascus. Why? Because the time needed to mount a conventional military attack against Damascus would
be measured in days. And each of those days would leave Israel vulnerable to tens of thousands of civilian casualties from
more WMD missile attacks.
Once any of the hostile parties to Israel has opened the bottle of non-conventional weaponry,
it gives Israel the justification, and indeed the compulsion, to respond in a non-conventional (nuclear) manner.
It does not take very much imagination to foresee what world reaction to such a scenario would
be. That reaction would be the foaming uproar described by Isaiah in verses 12-13. Anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism will explode
around the world to a degree never before seen.
Israel will be forced to make a deal with anti-christ. A covenant of "Peace" will be made. For 3 1/2 years
she will rebuild and have a FALSE peace.
Then, from the North an invading Army shall descend on her. Russia and her allies Muslim allies from many
countires shall come into the Holy land with an overwhelming force. But this war will be fought by God. He will defend His
earthly people. He will destroy 5/6 ths of the invading Army. See Ezekiel 38-39.
But notice that God Himself will deliver an overwhelming rebuke to the invaders as well as the other nations
that come from other parts to do battle against her.. Once Israel turns to Him in true contrition and trust, He will respond
to their plea.
"I will ransom you from the power of the grave; I will redeem you from death..."(Hosea
13:14)
THIS AWAITS THE CONCLUSION OF THE "TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE"
AS I POINTED OUT IN THE VIDEO "ISRAEL IN GREAT TRIBULATION" NOW PLAYING ON YOUTUBE.
Jeremiah 30:4-7--"These
are the words that the Lord spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah. For thus saith the Lord, We have heard a voice of
trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? Why do I see every man with
his hands on his loins, like a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that
none is like it; it is even the time of Jacob's trouble. "
But God comes vehemently to Israel's defense, and through the whole process, a remarkable spiritual
transformation takes place in the nation. They turn their eyes to their MESSIAH, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, JESUS CHRIST
THE LORD, abandoning all man-made religion.
THEY WILL BE A NATION IN TOTAL FAITH. THE ONLY ONE ON EARTH TO ACHIEVE THIS BLESSING. A NATION "BORN
IN A DAY"! (Isaiah 66:7-9; See also verses 10-16; 22-24)
Isaiah 66:
7 "Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered
of a man child.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be
made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD:
shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God."
THE LORD KEEPS HIS WORD TO ISRAEL (AS WELL AS HIS CHURCH!)
"Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the LORD of
hosts: I am the First and I am the Last; besides Me there is no god. And who can proclaim as I do? Then let him declare it
and set it in order for Me, since I appointed the ancient people. And the things that are coming and shall come, let them
show these to them. Do not fear, nor be afraid have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses.
Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one." (Isaiah 44:6-8).
Gods promises to national Israel (and be very clear, that is precisely
what were discussing) are irrevocable and that will be His declaration throughout eternity the endless
covenant promises of Him Who declares the eternal state of His promises (Jeremiah 33:19-26) a promise and covenant that no
man can put asunder; nor deviant eschatological systems destroy; nor TREACHERY BY "FRIENDS", Gentile dispersion of it,
onslaught, religious intolerance and expulsion, persecution, Crusade, inquisition, ghetto, pogrom, assimilating flood, Holocaust
or Jihad, nor ceaseless Middle East conflict nor Satan, Prince and god of this world systems and death dealer of lost souls
deceptive treaties enforcement; nor Jacobs Trouble through Beast and Gentile trampling and shattering of this holy peoples
power, nor doctrines of demons destroy . . .
"...for, whereas nothing shall separate us (His Church) from the love
of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38-39)
"...even so, NOTHING will prevent The Deliverer
(Who) will come out of Zion . . . He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; for this is My covenant with them, when I take
away their sins . . . for . . . Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are
beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable . . . and so all Israel will be
saved (Romans 11:26-29)
". . . for he will finish the transgression and make an end of sins .
. . make reconciliation for iniquity . . . bring in everlasting righteousness . . . confirm what the prophet saw and anoint
the most Holy "(Daniel 9:24)
"Whereas you have been forsaken and hated...you shall know that I, the
LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob . . . For Zions sake I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's
sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. The Gentiles
shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will
name. You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no longer
be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called Hephzibah (Lit. My Delight is
in Her) and your land Beulah (Lit. Married); for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married" (Isaiah 60:15-16;
62:1-4).
