ISRAEL IN PROPHECY by William Oldham

Part I

          The world is looking at the barbaric invasion of the nation of Israel by the Hamas terrorists. Many countries are condemning Hamas, but unbelievably, there are a number of people, and a few countries, celebrating their ungodly massacre. However, many Christian folks want to know how and if this fits into Bible prophecy.  I’m just a Bible student who is going to try to give some clarity to Israel and prophecy. In order to understand and appreciate the promises God has given Israel, some history and context is necessary.

Some very specific prophecies and visions were given to the prophet Ezekiel around 600 years before Christ, concerning Israel and the endtimes. Prior to this time, the kingdom of Israel had been divided into northern and southern kingdoms.

The northern kingdom, which was made up of ten tribes of Israel was named Israel. It was invaded and the Israelites were taken captive by the Assyrians, and scattered from their land: it was punishment by God for their idolatry.

The capital city of the northern kingdom was Samaria. It was later taken over by another king. It’s unclear as to how many actual Israelites returned to their land. Some claimed the ten tribes were lost, never to be found again. Others insist that many did return and intermarried with the Gentiles. At the time of Christ, they were called Samaritans, were considered half-breeds, and the Jews were forbidden to have any contact with them. As you will see, The Lord addresses this issue in His prophecy.

Some years after Ezekiel’s prophecies, the Babylonians invaded the southern kingdom, named Judah, took the people, called Jews, captive to Babylon; it was a punishment by God for their idolatry also. After 70 years, the Jews were allowed to return back to their land from Babylon. And partially rebuild the temple and part of Jerusalem which the Babylonians had destroyed. Approximately 530 years elapsed between their return and Christ’s coming.

During those years, Rome became the world power and the whole land of Israel became subject to its rule. Israel, and the Jews in particular, were under the rule of the Roman empire when Jesus was born. Jesus was born a Jew. The virgin Mary was His mother, Jehovah God was His Father. Mary was of the tribe of Judah and the house of David. The family house he was born into was Joseph’s, who was also of the tribe of Judah and the house of David.

Jesus was the Messiah that God had promised to the nation of Israel. He was a Jew and He was born to be their King from the line of David, just as the Lord had promised David. But the leaders of the Jews, acting on behalf of the Jews as a nation, rejected Jesus and took Him to the Roman governor and demanded he be crucified. And so Jesus Christ was rejected and murdered by His own people who He loved and came to save.

If the judgment of God was severe on Israel and Judah for their idolatry, how much more was their judgment to come for crucifying God’s only begotten, beloved Son? The Bible records Jesus weeping over Jerusalem as He thought on the future judgment that would fall on them. He foretold how that Jerusalem would be invaded and the temple would be leveled to the ground.

That day came in 70 AD. Israel was invaded, and over one million Jews were slaughtered. Many were enslaved, and those who escaped were scattered all over the known world. For almost 1800 years the land of Israel lay barren and desolate.

In the late 1800’s, Mark Twain, traveling through the land of Israel, wrote this about it: “…The further we went the hotter the sun got, and the more rocky and bare, repulsive and dreary the landscape  became…There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.” –Mark Twain

This is Israel’s past; next week, the Lord willing, we’ll begin to look at the amazing prophecies concerning Israel’s future.

More Countries Ban MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD but the U.S. Never Did: BIG MISTAKE!

On By Geri UngureanIn muslim brotherhood, Uncategorized6 Comments

This article is taken from one I wrote in summer of 2020. At that time, President Trump promised to ban these bad boys from even stepping foot in the U.S. 

Many do not realize that the MB (Muslim Brotherhood) is the Mother-Ship for all things Jihadi.

THEY FUND TERROR.

OBAMA was/is tight with the MB boys. Do you remember the secret meeting he had with them and NO PRESS was allowed? I would have loved to be a fly on the wall at that meeting. I’m sure lots of prayer rugs were flown in.

From the 2020 piece:

One of President Trump’s promises not kept was to ban the Muslim Brotherhood as a Terrorist Organization.

Even Egypt banned these bad boys after Mohamed Morsi was ousted in a coup, and spent the rest of his life in jail. He died in the courtroom where his future would be decided.

God had decided that before he was tried.

The Muslim Brotherhood is the Jihadi umbrella over Hamas, Hezbollah and CAIR.  Evidently, when Trump was campaigning for the 2016 election, an advisor told him to tell the American people that he would ban MB (Muslim Brotherhood).  Sadly, it did not happen.

More Countries Ban Muslim Brotherhood
The United States should join them. Then we can begin to prosecute Muslim Brotherhood terror-tied groups like CAIR, MAS, ISNA et al.
by Hany Ghoraba, Special to IPT News, July 21, 2020:

For 92 years, the global Muslim Brotherhood has managed to create franchises across the world. Despite a rise in power in several countries after the Arab Spring revolutions, the group is witnessing steady recessions in the Middle East where it once flourished.

While the court action didn’t designate the group as a terrorist entity, it may pave the way for such an action in the future.

The Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood is the oldest and most popular Islamist group in the country. Established in 1945 as a franchise to the mother group in Egypt, it became the driving force for Islamists in the country and was behind the foundation of the country’s chief Islamist party, The Islamic Action Front (IAF). Despite Jordan’s 1999 banagainst the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, the Islamic Action Front maintained strong ties to the terrorist Palestinian group through Jordanian MB deputy lead

The Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood is the oldest and most popular Islamist group in the country. Established in 1945 as a franchise to the mother group in Egypt, it became the driving force for Islamists in the country and was behind the foundation of the country’s chief Islamist party, The Islamic Action Front (IAF). Despite Jordan’s 1999 banagainst the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, the Islamic Action Front maintained strong ties to the terrorist Palestinian group through Jordanian MB deputy leader Zaki Bani Arshid. Arshid coordinated political stances with Hamas.

The IAF strongly opposes ending the 1994 Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty. “We urge the government to meet the demands of people who have repeatedly called for freezing and eventually cancelling the peace treaty,” an IAF statement said.

Egypt designated its Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist entity following a series of terrorist attacks inside the country. The attacks followed the June 2013 revolution which ousted the Islamist Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in power.

Saudi Arabia followed suit a few months later with its own designation. Saudi Arabia has multiple motivations – including regional political dynamics – for opposing the Brotherhood after years of support. “We were wrong when we opened the doors of our schools and universities to foreigners who allowed such ideas to reach our youth,” said Mohamed Zulfa, a member of the Saudi Shura Council [consultative assembly]. “We, unfortunately, realized that too late.”

The 2014 Saudi ban shocked Muslim Brotherhood members in Egypt, who had banked on the Saudi Kingdom’s support since the 1960s to counter the Egyptian ban during President Gamal Nasser’s rule. In response, Muslim Brotherhood media went as far as describing the Royal Saudi House of Al Saud, and particularly Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman, as “Zionists” because in the Brotherhood’s view, opposing the Brotherhood benefits Israel. The Saudi ban was followed by the arrest and incarceration of a number of Islamist clerics considered supportive of the Brotherhood. Moreover, Saudi Arabia has enacted a series of reforms opposed by the Brotherhood following the ban, including giving women the right to drive, go out in public without wearing a hijab, and earlier this year, banning floggingas a means of judicial punishments.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) issued a more extensive ban on the Muslim Brotherhood in 2014 as part of a broader Emirati fight with MB elements who allegedly plotted to overthrow the government. The Emirati government also listed dozens of Western based Muslim Brotherhood fronts, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Muslim American Society, Islamic Relief, Muslim Association of Britain and Cordoba Foundation in Britain as terrorists. Other predominantly Muslim countries which listed the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist stretch from Bahrain, Syria, and the Libyan parliament of Tobruk, to Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

Even in Tunisia, where the MB-affiliated Ennahda Party has been a force to be reckoned with since 2011, there is a new move to blacklist it. A motion filed by former Tunisian presidential candidate Abir Moussi to ban the Muslim Brotherhood group was rejected earlier this month by the parliament bureau.

Ironically, the United States, which suffered the most horrific terrorist attack on its soil in September 2001, has not banned the mother group behind the ideology adopted by the 9/11 al-Qaida terrorists. Al-Qaida leaders were heavily influenced by the ideology of Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna and the group’s chief ideologue Sayyid Qutb. The 2008 Holy Land Foundation trial exposed the Brotherhood’s modus operandi on American soil.

HLF was the largest American Muslim charity. While it solicited aid for widows, orphans and other needy people, prosecutors proved it had a secret role: “HLF became the chief fundraising arm for the Palestine Committee in the U.S. created by the Muslim Brotherhood to support Hamas.”

The Brotherhood created the Palestine Committee specifically to support Hamas politically and financially. “With the increase of the Intifada and the advance of the Islamic action inside and outside Palestine,” an internal Palestine Committee memo said, “the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), provided through its activities in resisting the Zionist occupation a lot of sacrifices from martyrs, detainees, wounded, injured, fugitives and deportees and it was able to prove that it is an original and an effective movement in leading the Palestinian people. This Movement – which was bred in the bosom of the mother movement, ‘The Muslim Brotherhood’ – restored hope and life to the Muslim nation and the notion that the flare of Jihad has not died out and that the banner of Islamic Jihad is still raised.”

The Holy Land Foundation and five former officials were convicted in 2008 of illegally funneling more than $12 million to Hamas.

Still, consecutive U.S. administrations have failed to ban the Muslim Brotherhood despite its role creating and directing the Palestine Committee’s support for Hamas.

But more predominantly-Muslim countries are acting, with Jordan providing the latest example.

For decades, many rulers in Muslim-majority countries saw the Brotherhood as a source of political and religious support. But that support sometimes becomes a threat, as the group infiltratededucational systems and posed other threats, as seen by Islamist political gains in countries like Egypt and Tunisia. The political, economic and security costs of harboring the Muslim Brotherhood were too much to bear. Jordan appears to be the latest country to reach that conclusion. source

SAFER IN ISRAEL THAN IN U.S. -New Yorker Who Survived Hamas Terrorist Attack at Nova Music Festival Reacts to Antisemitism Protests at Home: ‘Feel Safer in Israel than in US’ (Video)

On By Geri UngureanIn SAFER IN ISRAEL THAN IN US1 Comment

THAT speaks volumes!

From thegatewaypundit.comNatalie Sanandaji, Image Screenshot/Fox News

One of the targets of the Hamas terrorist attacks against civilians was an assault on a nature party where terrorists flew paragliders into the peaceful gathering and slaughtered nearly 300 of the 3,600 partygoers.

The killers also raped the young beautiful women and took dozens of hostages while shooting indiscriminately at portable toilets hoping to kill young Jews hiding inside.

Long Island native Natalie Sanandaji, 28, survived the attack on the festival, but shares that the increase of antisemitism on display in protests across the U.S. have left her shaken.

Sanandaji told The New York Post, “A lot of people have asked if I’m scared to go back to Israel after everything that’s happened, and my honest answer is … now more than ever, I want to move to Israel. Even with everything going on, I feel safer there than I do in the US right now.”

The Iranian Israeli, who lives in a Jewish community on Long Island, said this is the first time in her life that she started to get hate for her faith.

She said she’s watching her friends remove their mezuzahs — an encased scroll affixed to a doorframe that’s said to protect the home.

Some are hiding their Jewish identities over fears of being attacked.

“There’s people in Europe drawing Jewish stars on people’s doors if they know it’s a Jewish home,” she said.

Cornell,  Stanford, Harvard, University of Wisconsin, Indiana University, Arizona State University, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill are just a handful of the many campuses where Jewish students face concerning behavior from both students as well as educators.

Sanandaji joined Fox News to share her experience and her concerns, “A lot of people ask me if I feel safe now that I’m back in New York. I don’t. A lot of the things I’ve been hearing and seeing since getting back. A lot of the videos of the protests. These pro-Palestinian protests. Something I would like to say about that is, whatever side you’re on in regards to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, all the power to you. But this is not about Israel-Palestine. This is about Hamas, a terrorist organization who is just as complicit in the deaths of these innocent Palestinians as they are in the deaths of innocent Israelis.”

“People need to understand that this is not about Israel vs. Palestine. This is about a terrorist organization attacking the Jews and killing innocent people, killing innocent people at a music festival, killing innocent grandmas who survived the Holocaust, just to be killed by Hamas, burning babies alive.”

Watch:

PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM

PRAY FOR THE MESSIANIC JEWS IN ISRAEL

PRAY FOR YESHUA TO DRAW MANY UNBELIEVERS TO HIMSELF IN THE MIDST OF THIS WAR

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?
