Divide the land, go to war
–
The Bible predicts dividing the land of Israel will be an act of aggression and exploitation, not peace, as it slowly gives away Israel to its enemies.
–
God promises revenge on those who harm Israel in this way.

Joel 3
The end time captivity of Israel
3 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
–
3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
*** How Israel is treated now. A commodity to be bought and sold
4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head;
*** The enemies of Israel never seem to change. Tyre and Zidon represents Lebanon and Hezbollah, and Palestine represents Hamas.
–
5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
*** Lebanon and the Palestinians terrorists “sell” the Jews to the western countries, by claiming victimhood, and having the western countries turn against Israel, to profit the enemies in land and money.
7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head:
*** Promise of return for the Jews. This occurs after they return to Israel. This is also a spiritual deliverance.
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath spoken it.
*** Sabeans – Yemen
***Punishment for those who persecute Israel.

War proclaimed against anti- Israel nations:
9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Lord.
12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

The Lord rescues Israel
16 The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

Restoration of Israel
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth out of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.

Thoughts
My main concern is that the “king of the end times” is a US President.
I hope this is wrong, but we are a major world power at this time.
While we may do things for the right reasons, we think, ….we can do things that are wrong, and create more trouble.
I pray that our leaders do not destroy Israel with their liberal, non biblical version of “peace.”
From what I am seeing they have, and so I pray God forgive this country, and give us a chance to restore and help Israel.

Heaven Awaits 
God will not rescue Israel. They will be destroyed among with the other nations. The infinite value of the sacrifice required for our redemption reveals the fact that sin is a tremendous evil. Through sin the whole human organism is deranged, the mind is perverted, the imagination corrupted. Sin has degraded the faculties of the soul. Temptations from without find an answering chord within the heart, and the feet turn imperceptibly toward evil. – {8T 312.2}
God will not rescue Israel. They will be destroyed among with the other nations.
The concept that the Jews are God’s people and that Jesus is going to bring back His nation and dwell in Jerusalem with them for a thousand years is being taught by the various different churches.
We want to examine the Bible in regards to Israel and let the Bible speak for itself. It will illuminate our minds as to who is Israel. Indeed, as we look in the Scriptures, the God of heaven has chosen a people and made a nation. His very personal own nation. We read of it where the birth of His nation was foreshadowed:
Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I [am] the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 4 As for me, behold, my covenant [is] with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Any Jew who reads that will tell you, “See, we are to be in God’s expectation, a nation for eternity.” That is precisely where the Israeli confidence comes from. That they are God’s people because a promise has been made:
Genesis 17:7 I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
We pick it up here as well:
Genesis 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son]: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which [is] upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; 18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
This happened after God had tempted Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac and because he would be so obedient with God, God had confirmed the covenant with him, his seed and his offspring which of course were the people of Israel. Now comes a very important principle as to the promise of the covenant that was made to Abraham and his seed.
Typist,
Before you Go further, You would have to throw out a whole lot of Scripture, and God’s promises to Israel if you are going to try to prove that Israel was replaced by God. Along with All the Old testament prophecies regarding the millenium. Not to mention what Paul writes about regarding Israel in Romans 9-15.
Though Israel stands as the divorced adulterous wife, The Lord will take her back despite her sinfulness. Just as “Christ died for us (Gentiles) while we were yet sinners.” (Romans 5:8) This is the Wonder of his Love, and he will redeem Israel simalarly, Though he has every right to destroy them. It is a concept Called Mercy. A concept many in the SDA church have a problem with.
God bless.
Isn’t the true Israel the seed of Abraham? Didn’t God promise the land to the Jews with a condition that they would obey Him? It appears that impostor jews (Satan’s minions) have been taking over the land since 1947 when the global Zionists took it over. The Zionists are great deceivers that have lead the world to believe they are the victim when in fact they have been advancing Satan’s army throughout the world with the help of the USA and Britian and probably other’s. God will save true Israel ( the ones who are converted by the blood of the Lamb of God) from the impostor jews who have been enslaving God’s elect since the beginning of time. This is just a thought.
well that is a slanted view. the ones there are supposed to be there.
it was prophesied as God’s will long ago, and just because you do not consider them real jews, does not mean you are right,
they have the DNA to prove what they are, and they are thre by God’s will and design.
zionist has been used as a derogatory term, but God is a zionist, and wants the jews in that land
the bible promises that once they return, they will never have to leave again.
How can Jews prove who they are through DNA, since when did the religion become one in which you had to be born into?

For I know those who call themselves Jews but are not – Jesus said this.
The Jews will be returned by the Messiah when he comes and they accept him. This has not happened yet.
The land was divided in 1947. Those who did this defied God. They are in huge trouble.
Those in control in Israel are not descendants of Abraham and don’t even pretend to be. They are merely converts from Eastern Europe who are not Semitic at all. They even admit this. Only a small, small percentage of those who call themselves Jews have any Abrahamic blood in them.
Furthermore, the Scriptures also say “A Jew is one who a Jew inwardly”. This speaks of how the Christians are grafted into the chosen. Those who have a right to the land will have accepted the Messiah, and the return will be a blessing to all nations, not a source of war, oppression of innocent people, apartheid, hatred, digging up of farmland and ancient orchards, imprisonment of thousands of elementary school age children, use of chemical weapons on people while they are sleeping in their homes, bombing of hospitals, schools, cheese factories, etc etc etc. The Lord does not have a double standard for holiness
Since you are quoting prophesies of punishment, why not include the MANY promised for Israel when she attempts to use brute force, and theft to get what she wants? The list is long. God punishes sin, especially that committed by his people. So if these lawbreakers are his chosen, they are in deep trouble.
mia
Israel does not imprison thousands of elementary school children. bomb hospitals…..etc….where do you get this propaganda?
000,
You are basically rehashing Muslim teaching on Israel. That because they rejected and Crucified Christ, they gave up their right to be called God’s chosen nation.
I Have copied the context of romans 5, for the verse I quoted above, Because It seems as if those who come here hating Israel have taken for granted the Mercy of the Lord towards us, the gentiles. Take this in context of Romans 11:20-24.
6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. (Romans 5)
17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root[c] of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” 20 That is true. They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you. 22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God’s kindness to you, PROVIDED you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off. 23 And even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for GOD HAS THE POWER to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree. (Romans 11)
Our Love for Israel is the “Condition” of our covenent. Every covenent the Lord has made has been conditional. Satan knows this condition, and will do what he can to get us to violate that covenent. The New commandment given by Jesus is “Love one another as I have Loved You. greater Love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:12-13) To Peter, Jesus said “feed my sheep”. Throughout the Old testament Israel is referred to as the sheep, and their leader the shepherd.
(zechariah 11: 15-17)
15 Then the Lord said to me, “Take once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16 For behold, I am raising up in the land a shepherd who does not care for those being destroyed, or seek the young or heal the maimed or nourish the healthy, but devours the flesh of the fat ones, tearing off even their hoofs.
17 “Woe to my worthless shepherd,
who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm
and his right eye!
Let his arm be wholly withered,
his right eye utterly blinded!”
This is a reference to the Antichrist. The one who hates the sheep, who deserts the flock…His right arm is his strength, and his right eye is his Wisdom. The church is failing as the shepherd of Israel (the sheep). We are failing the great commission to bring the Gospel to all the world…That includes Israel. We are not feeding his sheep during the time that the Good shepherd is struck (Not leading his sheep). This person is amongst us. He is betraying the sheep, and leading them to slaughter. People call him a Christian…they call him messiah…they call him a saviour. But he is Leading the sheep to slaughter….Perdition. And those who preach hatred for the sheep are doing his bidding. Wake up! He Just deserted the flock this past week…Think about that!
God will show mercy on Israel in these end times. He will save them despite their unbelief. He will rule his people Israel as king, and Messiah. He has shown his grace and mercy to the gentiles, and we take it for granted. Instead of showing that Love to our brother Israel we are being arrogant and proud and condemning them. This is no different than how the pharissees dealt with Jesus and the apostles of Old. Do we have the attitude of Paul, wishing that he were accursed for the sake of Israel (Romans 9:3) Or will we pray like the Pharisee in Luke 18:11.
6 And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”[c] (Malachi 4:6)
Re: utter destruction: MacArthur comments that “its use here suggests that God would make a whole burnt offering of the earth if there was not a repentent remnant.” Jew and gentile becoming “perfectly one”.
Is there a repentent remnant left on the earth? Or as Jesus asked: “Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?” Can anyone answer these question for me?
Lord God, please hear our prayers for Israel and show your mercy toward them. Not my will but thine be done. Amen.

Chag Sameach Marianne.
thank you dru,
chag sameach and yom tov to you as well.
I was not claiming to be right. Based on a lot of information and seeking and praying these are my leanings. The Jewish people who live in the USA and Israel are innocent of wrong doing, however, the State of Israel is wicked to the core. Christian Zionists are clinging to a plan that will enable a counterfeit fulfillment of scripture. If I am wrong…God will show me. I’m just expressing my views.
Well said. I believe this also.
000,
Yes there is wickedness in most governments. The people for the most part are unaware of what is going on. Judaizers are embedded within the Christian churches, not zionists. You are using a word associated with the restoration and redemption of Israel (zionism), in place of Judaizers. I am sorry if I read you wrong. After dealing with anti-semitism on two pages I assumed you were following suit.My comments were not only directed toward you, but “typist” as well.
In your search for answers, look first to the cross and the example of Love embodied therein. It is this love that we are called to extend towards our brother Israel. This will be the testimony of God’s love being perfected in us. Start by reading John 13-17, and particularly close attention to the High priestly prayer of Jesus in John 17. Then take note of the fact that love is mentioned 263 times in the New Testament, while condemnation only 24 times, and most in context of Jesus trial and crucifiction, or related to the Law of Moses.
With that, i agree that Christian Judaizers are “clinging to a plan that will enable a counterfeit fullfillment of scripture”. Very soon this plan will be revealed, and then God will reveal his plans. Zionism, though corrupted by the illuminati, is the work of God. The Illuminati think they can destroy Israel, once they get them into one location, But the Lord God will thwart their plans.
God bless.

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
THIRTEEN: Often seen as an ill omen representing hostility, rebellion, apostasy, defection, corruption.
Thirteen is the 6th prime number.
Judas is considered to be the thirteenth; Jesus is #1 plus the 12 holy Apostles; Judas is always named last in the list of Apostles [Matthew 10:2-4; Mark 3:16-19; Luke 6:13-16].
The Israelites marched around the city of Jericho thirteen times before the city collapsed (Josh 6:2-5).

Leaven is a sign for sin. The gematria for leaven, zumee in Hebrew, is thirteen.
The Virgin Mary often appears on the thirteenth day of the month. This number obviously has no power over her. Remember it was prophesied that her son would crush the head of the serpent in Genesis 3:15 and that the Serpent would make war on her children [Revelation 12:17]. She defies the devil and defends her son’s Church and her children, Jesus’ faithful disciples.
13 is also associated with the Beast See Revelations 13.
13 is the number of the United States, thirteen stripes, thirteen stars, thirteen colonies…..Watch 2013
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
SEVENTEEN: Perfection of spiritual orderThe seventh prime number.
Jacob lived seventeen years in Egypt [Genesis 47:28].
Seventeen can mean double spiritual perfection plus the completion of Divine will = 2 x 7 + 3.
Seventeen is also the sum of two perfect numbers 7 + 10 = perfection of spiritual order. For example, see Romans 8:35-39 and the series of seven blessings in the form of questions followed by ten answers. Also see Hebrews 12:18-24 where the Old Covenant and New are contrasted. Seven statements refer to Old Covenant and ten to the New. In both these New Testament passages, the New (10) is superior to the Old (7).
The seventeenth of Nisan during Passion Week was the Old Covenant Feast of Firstfruits. It was also the day of Jesus’ Resurrection when He defeated sin and death [Leviticus 23:11-14; Matthew 28:1-6].

TWENTY: This number is the double of ten, and may in some cases signify its concentrated meaning. But its significance seems to be connected with the fact that it is one short of twenty-one. That is to say, if twenty-one is the three-fold seven, and signifies divine (3) completion as regards spiritual perfection (7), then twenty, being one short of twenty-one would signify expectancy. There are numerous illustrations in Scripture to support this explanation
Twenty years Jacob waited to get possession of his wives and property [Genesis 21:38-41].
Twenty years Israel waited for a deliverer from Jabin’s oppression [Judges 4:3].
Twenty years Israel waited for deliverance until Samson [Judges 15:20; 16:31].

FORTY-TWO: The number forty-two is the product of six times seven. Seven is one of the “perfect” numbers, signifying fullness and perfection, especially spiritual perfection. However, six is the number of man and of man’s opposition to God’s plan for mankind’s salvation. In Scripture the number forty-two appears to symbolize a connection to or a conflict between man and the Spirit of God. Examples of the symbolic nature of the number forty-two can be applied to these passages:
It is the number of the sum of the knobs, flowers, and branches of the golden Menorah, ordained by God but fashioned by a human craftsman [Exodus 25:31-40].
Balaam offered three sets of sacrifices on seven altars each with two animals sacrificed on each altar for three sets of fourteen sacrifices totaling forty-two animal sacrifices prior to God providing the prophetic oracle [Numbers 23:2, 14, 29].
The deliberately structured forty-two stages of the Israelites’ from Sinai to the Plains of Moab—it was a journey marking their conflict with the will of God for Israel’s future [Numbers 33:1-49].
The forty-two young men who mocked God’s choice after the ascension of Elijah and the transfer of his authority to Elisha [2 Kings 2:23-24].
St. Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus is a deliberately structured list of forty-two names ending with Jesus’ name and reveling that He is both man and God [Matthew 1:1-17].
In the Book of Revelation the number forty-two signifies the conflict of the Beast together with his offspring, “the seed of the serpent” [Genesis 3:15], that stand in opposition to Christ and His Church for a symbolic forty-two months [Revelation 11:2; 13:5].

18, the number of life
Sorry to see that some here have posted that the Almighty will not rescued His elect, Israel. Sorry to say but that shows a great deal of ignorance of the Word. Yah did not set aside a people in vain nor is His eternal plan void just because the adversary has planted its tares. The tares will soon be gathered as it is written in Matthew 13:37-43 and then the righteous will remain. Those conformed after the image of the adversary will be first destroyed by Yah’s angels. The word of Yah will ALL be fulfilled as written, down to the last yod. Man was made to shamar or guard the earth and Yah’s word or teachings that He gave Adam. We were made in His image and told to reproduce as such, not in the image of lucifer and reproduce as it is. We can be renewed through the Jewish Messiah Yeshua back to the way things were before the fall of man. The Almighty has set aside Israel to bring about His renewal plan and it is finished.
Your quotes from the bible can be turned either way.
It could mean that Israel will be returned to the “true”, for want of a better term, jews, from the grasp of it’s current greedy “captors”.
Also, the current Israeli regime is in fact the one that divided the country.
It was united under the ottoman empire up until ww1, but wealthy business owners started colonising it and then brought in the guns and divided the place.
IT WAS A SINGLE UNITED COUNTRY BEFORE PILLAGING SETTLERS MOVED IN. ( caps used for emphasis, not for being loud )
THEY USED VIOLENCE TO FORCE A DIVISION IN THE COUNTRY.
NOBODY INVITED THEM, THEY ASKED THE UNITED KINGDOM TO PROVIDE MILITARY SUPPORT AND ESTABLISHED A NEW COUNTRY, INSIDE ANOTHER COUNTRY THAT ALREADY EXISTED PEACEFULLY THERE.
( again, sorry for being loud )
Jews are only used as mascots by profit-hunters, they current Israeili state has got nothing to do with jews, except for the name.
i hope you mean the pillaging settlers were palestinians, not jews. the jews have pillaged nothing, all they have done is give up land given them legally by the british, who owned the property. the palestinians have never owned the property.
“Philistia,” – Palestine didn’t exist until 70 AD when the Romans destroyed the Temple, and used that name to mock the Jews by choosing the name of their arch enemy.
hi chaya
people also forget that the original “palestinians” were jewish, not arabs.
one simple fact today: Israel is the enemy of God, the covenant was broken when Jesus lift to heaven and new era started and Jews became the Whore of Babylon
wow do you have a problem!
