Big Prophetic Question

The Obama administration has just led the international community in pulling the proverbial rug out from under Israel. In putting the finishing touches on my book, Cauldron: Supernatural Implications of the Current Middle East (hopefully to be released between March and April of 2014), I wrote the following in part:

Sunday, November 24, 2013, the Obama Administration, with Secretary of State John Kerry in the lead, joined with the international community in making an agreement with the Iranian regime that many view as a betrayal of Israel.

Just as the sanctions against Iran for pursuing development of a nuclear program to produce atomic weaponry was beginning to make an impact, the U.S., in concert with the world powers that constitute the international community, agreed to lift part of those economic sanctions on Iran for six months.The Islamic republic promised to cooperate with the international nuclear observers and to limit its enrichment of uranium.

The Israeli leadership–which wasn’t privy to the behind-the scenes-dealings–wasn’t deceived by the near jubilation displayed by the cabalist diplomats’ actions. The Israelis realize that in Islam, it is not only okay to lie in negotiations with enemies, it’s preferred. Ends justify means, just as in the Marxist playbook for dealing with adversaries. The Obama team was apparently not as immune to the venomous deception as Benjamin Netanyahu and his leadership team.

The Israeli Prime Minister said, “What was reached last night in Geneva is not a historic agreement, it is a historic mistake. Today the world became a much more dangerous place because the most dangerous regime in the world made a significant step in obtaining the most dangerous weapons in the world.” Israel’s minister of intelligence, Yuval Steinitz, added that the deal was based on “Iranian deception and international self-delusion.”

Israel, based upon a long history of dealing with treacherous enemies, is skeptical of Iran’s claims that its nuclear program is strictly for peaceful purposes. The Jewish state has threatened a military strike against Iran as a preemptive measure against the acquirement of a nuclear weapon. Luciferic influence, it is obvious to the observer who is biblically attuned to things prophesied for the end of days, rules the minds of those globalists who want peace at any price. The deception is becoming overwhelming, it is clear…

Or, perhaps, the American negotiators in this instance are not as deceived as they are in collusion with the Israeli despisers. It certainly seems that this president has been, at almost every juncture, in opposition to Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision for Israel and his government’s determination to keep the Jewish state secure in these increasingly precipitous times.

Joel Rosenberg, in his blog of Tuesday, November 26, 2013, posted comments by Yossi Klein Halevi, the American-born Israeli author of Like Dreamers: The Story of the Israeli Paratroopers Who Reunited Jerusalem and Divided a Nation. Halevi said in an interview, “If you’re going to make a deal, this is the best deal they could make. But there should not have been a deal. The Iranian regime was being cornered. Sanctions might even have brought about the fall of the regime. This is an unthinkable surrender…Obama has created a condition in which Iran will be gradually reaccepted into the international community, and Israel could well find itself a pariah. That’s Obama’s gift to the Jewish people…I think this deal makes an Israeli strike inevitable.”

All of this throws some interesting fodder for thought into the matters involved in the Ezekiel 38-39 Gog-Magog assault. A big question mark has always been part of the puzzle in that attack, assuredly one of the most astounding prophecies for the time immediately preceding Christ’s Second Advent. The question: With Israel’s powerful arsenal of nuclear weapons, and if Iran (Persia) has nuclear weapons at that time, why are none, seemingly, used in the assault? The attack is described as a conventional land war, to my way of thinking. Iran seems to have no “super weapons” that they throw at the tiny nation while they rage with their allies toward Israel’s borders.

God Himself is going to employ the “super weapon.” It will destroy all but one-sixth of the invading force, the prophecy tells us. Some believe the reason nuclear weapons aren’t used is that an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) event of some sort will have rendered most sophisticated weaponry useless at that time. The conventional thinking on the matter seems to be that Israel might have destroyed all facilities or at least damaged Iran’s nuclear program enough to prevent its full development.

We can’t know for sure, of course, why this war will be conducted as it is, according to Scripture. Nor are we likely to know this side of the Tribulation, which is the era during which I’m convinced the Gog-Magog assault will take place.

However, it is most interesting to conjecture. Might it eventuate that the Iranian mullahs fool everyone and agree to stop the development of their current nuclear program? Not likely, I agree, but they are known as masters of chessboard chicanery. Their friend Vladimir Putin–that great peacemaker–has proven he wants to exert increasing control over things to the south of his domain. Convincing the ayatollahs to temporarily cool their nuclear reactors for awhile while bigger things are afoot in Russia’s and Iran’s plans for Israel…well, it’s legitimate fodder for consideration.

In Romans 10 Paul lays out how salvation is open to all, Jew and Gentile.  He writes:

“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” – Romans 10:4-5

What he is saying is now it is not about works or how closely to a “T” you follow the law.  But that it is through God’s gift of grace through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.  It is really that simple, and yet a hard step for some of us.

“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9

Christ is the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14), through faith in Him you will be saved.  It is the only “works” that God requires for eternal salvation.

It is The Gospel of Jesus Christ.  To learn more check out the following link.
