Alert Status: Extremely High - Jerusalem a Very Heavy Stone
Share Your Thoughts: Here
Once again we find ourselves in the eye of the storm. Those that believe in Messiah are in the eye of the storm. It's a lot calmer there. Those who do not believe are on the outer edges of it and the information is coming at the world with such velocity and frequency, most people just can't process it anymore. Even believers are becoming overwhelmed with the amounts of information being thrust on all of us today. Now I understand what the LORD meant when He said, "And unless the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake, whom He chose, He shortened the days." Mark 13:20
Today we see really vividly, maybe for the first time, just how focused the world is on Jerusalem. The Lord said in Zechariah 12:3; "And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it." It doesn't matter if you're a private citizen, a President, a Congressman, Senator or a Pastor - all who attempt to divide or take Jerusalem from G-d's people will pay a heavy price for coming against the Lord. Case in point, look at what happen to the Prime Minister of Israel - Sharon. He's laying on his death bed and probably will not recover. A good refresher course on this is Joel chapter 3.
Today, as I write this report it is September 11, 2007 and we can see probably clearer now than ever before just how heavy Jerusalem is becoming to the entire world. Here's where we're at. The PA wants Jerusalem, the Jews want Jerusalem, rightfully so I might add and the international community wants it. Except for the Jews, they have all forgotten one thing, it's not there's. Jerusalem belongs to G-d. He says that Jerusalem will never be handed over to His enemies without them being cut into pieces. Whoever, including the U.S. attempts to control or remove Jerusalem from the Jews will pay a huge price for it. They will face their creator and He will deal severely with them.
Another case in point. At the beginning of President Bush's term I wrote a report where I made a statement and also sent this statement to the President, that if Bush attempted to interfere with Israel and her affairs, namely forcing them into a peace contract, forcing them into the dividing of their land and meddling in Jerusalem, he would find his Presidency diminish severely and his approval ratings would plummet and that he could leave office in disgrace. Today, President Bush's approval rating is horrible and he has lost the confidence of the American people at large. I guess he didn't heed the warning many of us sent his way.
Here's an article that was written by WorldNetDaily that I think was done extremely well. Everyone should take a minute and review it.
Being Jewish, I think I can offer an interesting perspective on what is shaping up in Israel and specifically in Jerusalem and among the Jewish people at right now. If we go back to the Exodus, actually prior to the Exodus, we can recall that when the Jews were in exile in Egypt it was at this time they began to cry out to G-d. Every single time the Jews were reprimanded by the Lord for their disobedience they turned to Him almost universally. A great example of this in our generation would be the Holocaust. As my ancestors were being literally gassed and burned to death, a cry went up to heaven, the cry was that G-d would forgive us our sins and that He would restore us to the land of our forefathers. Just before Hitler had the chance to destroy the Jews completely, G-d reserved a remnant for Himself and He used the powers of the U.S. and allied forces to destroy Hitler and his murdering cronies. And so in this generation on May 15, 1948 G-d did the impossible, He restored His beloved people to His land and answered their prayers and remained faithful to what He promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That promise is to this day a work in progress. Whenever the Jewish people are pressed with tribulation they always cry out to G-d and He always hears their cry and helps them. He never fails them and He never will.
You see, G-d knows we are a peculiar people. He also knows that we are stiffed necked, after all He said we are. I must confess, if you ask those who are closest to me if I'm stiff necked and a bit peculiar, they would say yes. It's how the Lord wired us. Therefore, now that the Temple Mount is going to be completely handed over to the PA and now that the Waqf is attempting to destroy all evidence of the second temple, which is an evil attempt on their part to remove any Jewish presence from the Temple Mount, now G-d's people are crying out. Peculiar isn't it? It would have been much easier seeking the Lord without all of this tumult. G-d is using this event and events like it to do one thing and by the way, this is what His single priority is for His people, to drive them back to Himself. God will stop at nothing to bring His people to the place where they cry out to Him and ask for forgiveness. This is what the Lord is doing. He is preparing His people to see Him face to Face, but first, they have to turn away from their secular ways and sin and draw close to Him. God will allow His people to become so pressured that they will abandon their sin and cleave unto Him. Bringing the remnant of the Apple of His Eye back to Himself is what all of this is about.
Allow me to show you what I mean. The more pressure G-d's people suffer the more spiritual they become. Side note, just because the Jews do not see Yeshua as their Messiah yet, does not mean they do not know who their G-d is. Rest assured they know G-d and they know inside of themselves how and where to find Him. God is getting ready to remove the blinders and give them sight and they are now being made ready to become, through a small remnant, the Light Unto The World that G-d created them for. Watch this video that was made by some Rabbis and see for yourself how creative and spiritually insightful this message is Click Here . Let's not forget, it will be 144,000 fired up Jewish young men that deliver G-d's message to this world during the Time of Jacob's Trouble or to the Gentile reader, The Tribulation Period.
The message is awe inspiring and it grips ones heart.
I will conclude my report with this, "Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near." Luke 21:20-28
Because, in truth, because they have misled my people, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace; and because, when the people build a wall, these prophets smear whitewash on it. Say to those who smear whitewash on it that it shall fall. (Ezekiel 13:1-16 / NRSV) Today's Headlines in Date Order August - September Beginning with August...
