Amidst all the prophetic alerts in the Bible concerning the coming of the Last Day, only one stands out that we truly have a hand in. We do not affect earthquakes, famines, or blood moons; however, we can affect the belief of the Jews concerning Yeshua and who inhabits the land of Israel.
It was Yeshua himself who prophesied, “For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord'” (Matt. 23:39). This is a requirement for Yeshua’s return. Yeshua did not promise to return if Arabs living in Zion call out to him, nor Gentiles living in Zion, but when Jews living in Zion, his first born of the nations, call for His return. This is what He wants. This is one thing He will wait for.
He has moved heaven and earth to re-establish the State of Israel, in the fulfillment of His prophecies. He wants his prodigal son to invite him back. Paul understood this well when he said, “First to the Jew, and then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16). Anyone, who wants the glorious return of the Messiah and the establishment of His kingdom on earth, will work towards two things: preserving the Jewish people in the State of Israel and opening the eyes of the Jews to Yeshua as the Messiah.
You may be asking, “What does it matter if I support the Palestinians instead of the Israelis?”
In supporting Palestinians to take over and rule the State of Israel, you are working directly against the will of YHVH (God, in Hebrew). You are taking a definite action against God.
The Lawless One has been working for centuries to do anything it can to keep YHVH’s prophecies from coming true—whether it be King Herod in killing all the toddlers after Yeshua’s birth, to Rome trying to kill off the House of David in the first century, or to Hitler trying to kill all the Jews in Europe.
It doesn’t matter if you agree with all of Israel’s decisions. As an American, I’ve never heard of any American say they don’t have some issues with some of America’s governmental decisions, but overall, whose side do you want to be on?
If you are working against the requirements needed for Yeshua’s/Christ’s return, then you are working against God.
YHVH’s prophecies have always come true, but it is up to you which side you are on.
YHVH said to Abraham, “I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you” (Genesis 12:3).
Since the creation of the State of Israel in accordance with the fulfillment of YHVH’s prophecies, Arabs have gone to war against Israel to revert Israel back to Ishmael’s descendants, the Arabs. Today, Iran threatens to wipe the Jews from the planet by nuclear attack.
One may ask, where does this hatred stem from? And why does it affect me?
It stems from the desire to steal the inheritance from those YHVH has promised it to. It stems from jealousy. You also have received personal promises from YHVH that the Lawless One will try to steal.
Perhaps, you choose to do nothing concerning the State of Israel because you feel sympathy for the Palestinians. However, in the story of Cain and Abel, YHVH makes it clear to Cain that he is his brother’s keeper. How would you feel, if YHVH’s judgment on your apathy is to allow others to steal your inheritance and personal promises He has made to you?
Many have attempted and still attempt to steal Abraham’s inheritance. Although Sarah, in her impatience, sinned by trying to force the birth of the prophesied son of Abraham through another woman, YHVH did not capitulate to her machinations and made clear to Abraham that the promise would only go through Isaac.
The descendants of Lot, the Moabites, also tried to keep the Israelites from inheriting their Promised Land. They hired Baalim to curse Israel as they returned from slavery, so they could stay in control of Israel’s Promised Land. Yeshua warns Christians against the Doctrine of Baalim in the Book of Revelations.
Do not stand in the way of YHVH’s prophecies, and do not try to steal another’s Promised Land. YHVH’s reaction to the Moabites was serious. “No Ammonite or Moabite or any of their descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, not even in the tenth generation” (Deut. 23:3).
I am asking that you please stand with Israel. YHVH’s promises are eternal; this is the foundational faith of your salvation.
Due to Malachi’s prophecy (3:1-4), the Levites rose up against the oppressing gentile regime who had placed pagan idols in the temple to fulfill the requirements for the birth of the Messiah. The cleansing of the Temple, now celebrated as Chanukah/Festival of Dedication, commemorates their pursuit of the Messiah. You have personally reaped from their endeavors. Yeshua, himself, celebrated Chanukah (John 10:22). Let us work together for Yeshua’s return. Blessing one another.
So remember, Yeshua prophesied that he would not return until the Jews ruled from the State of Israel and when the Jews would call out for His return. You have an impact with this—whether through influencing your government, influencing your friends and church, or witnessing to Jews.
YHVH is a god of covenants. If you believe, then you will be saved. If you bless Israel, then you will be blessed.
The Lawless One works hard to destroy the prophecies of YHVH, but you can do your part, and in doing so, you can reap blessings for standing with your brother in inheriting his Promised Land, just as I desire that you will inherit all the personal prophecies YHVH has given you. Testimonies of YHVH’s promises coming true blesses everyone and builds everyone’s faith.
