We are at war!
We are not in tribulation but we are at war! We are at the time of the unveiling of the red horse.
"When He opened the second seal
I heard the second living creature saying,
'Come and see.'
And another horse, fiery red, went out.
And it was granted to the one who sat on it
to take peace from the earth,
and that people should kill one another;
and there was given to him a great sword."
(Revelations 6:3-4)
On October 1, Iran launched 181 ballistic missiles at Israel, the biggest missile attack on a nation. In another attack on September 29, Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and others in Lebanon. The Bible has a lot to say about Lebanon which is symbolized by Tyre then Sidon and now it is called Beirut. Tyre was a highly esteemed place for ship building.
Ezekiel 26-27, God judged Tyre and in chapter 28 it even says there are some satanic forces…..wanting to be like God… Doesn’t that sounds a bit like Lucifer?
Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god,
7 Behold, therefore, I will bring strangers against you,
The most terrible of the nations;
And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,
And defile your splendor.
8 They shall throw you down into the Pit,
And you shall die the death of the slain
In the midst of the seas (Ezekiel 28).
Lebanon was once a Christian majority (80%) nation like a lot of the Middle East countries. Persia now modern day Iran was friendly to Israel. Esther became queen over Persia. But we just saw them launched 181 missiles into Israel.
Israel will surely respond…and this will be bad for Beirut as God will devour it by fire (verse 4). If there is any time for a nuclear attack it is probably in the next month or two. A war will come soon enough.
Israel Defended Against Enemies (Zechariah 9)
The burden of the word of the Lord..
3 For Tyre built herself a tower,
Heaped up silver like the dust,
And gold like the mire of the streets.
4 Behold, the Lord will cast her out;
He will destroy her power in the sea,
And she will be devoured by fire (Zechariah 9:3-4).
Iran sends hundreds of millions to fund these Hezbollah terror cells. Indeed verse 3 reads “heaped up silver like dust and gold like the mire of the streets”.
When nations gang up against Israel, the Lord says He is going to show His justice. He will show mercy and compassion to both sides. No one likes war and we are not taking sides as God loves both the Arabs and Jews, but we can’t prevent God’s judgement. God’s justice and holiness is being revealed. People think there are no God or that He is asleep. His active Hand and judicial power is now manifested and He will not allow all these acts of terror.
Iranian leader Khamenei says “Israel will not last long” yesterday at his sermon. He urged nations from “Afghanistan to Yemen and from Iran to Gaza and Yemen” to be ready to take action against the enemy, and praised those who had died doing so. He will soon have to eat his own words. Those words are going to get judge. His regime may not last long. The Bible says “out of your mouth I will judge you” (Luke 19:22) Nasrallah the leader of Hezbollah was gloating that he will defeat Israel and then a bunker busting bomb eliminated him 60 feet deep.
Now Ashkelon and Gaza are watching to see if Hezbollah going to win. They will be fearful when they see Israel blow them up in flames. Verse 5 says the king shall perish from Gaza. Much of Hamas leadership have fled from Gaza and placed on the wanted list.
5 Ashkelon shall see it and fear;
Gaza also shall be very sorrowful;
And Ekron, for He dried up her expectation.
The king shall perish from Gaza,
And Ashkelon shall not be inhabited (Zechariah 9:5).
A mixed race shall settle in Ashdod (verse 6). No one wants to hear this, not even the Jews or Arabs. So what is this mixed race? It’s the Christians, a multiethnic group of believers. Arab Christians, Middle East Christians who have been persecuted and displaced. They are even persecuted in refugee camps where they run to. The bible talks about a place for the mixed race in Judah which includes Gaza. The only way for Israel to have peace is to have a friendly neighbour. You can’t have peace when you have a hostile neighbour. We the Christians love the Jews, love the Bible and will never attack Israel. We also love the Arabs and want to save the persecuted Arab Christians.
“A mixed race shall settle in Ashdod,
And I will cut off the pride of the Philistines (Zechariah 9:6).
The Bible is true and coming to pass.
