Biblical Prophecy Can Help Us Better Understand the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Strange though it seems to secular people, we can get a deeper understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by viewing it in the context of biblical prophecy.

Praying for this message to be heard everywhere!

Every nation that has turned against Israel has suffered. We won't be an exception if we are stupid enough to do that.

Jesus prophesied to the woman at the well that the true worshipers of God would not worship in the temple nor on the mountain. But they would worship in spirit and truth. The true worshipers are born again and are called children of God. It's no longer about a piece of land or a culture.

How quickly things went to hell in a handbasket.

@ Dinesh.. Please do talk more about biblical prophecy in your pod casts.

[Walibnzas]

Great job and prophecy is what's happening. 👍

Revelations appears to be playing out right b4 eyes.

I have read the end of the book! We win!

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Good to hear you speak on this subject. No other time in human history has a nation been reborn and in one day as Isaiah 66 prophesied. Matthew 24, Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as it's twigs get tender and it's leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. The fig tree is Israel and yes they are very ripe. Truly I say to you this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. The prophetic clock started ticking in 1948. Things are speeding up exponentially. Ezekiel 38 speaks of all the modern nations north of Israel today. Russia, Iran, Turkey, Syria, etc. We see it unfolding. Proof of God? Existence and survival of Israel.

The bible says Israel will take a beating before Jesus comes to defeat Israel's foes.

[princehectoroftroy]

“Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed,
And whoever curses Israel will be cursed.” Numbers 24:9, Genesis 12:3 Think about that sentence

We are at the end of the age. ...surely. Everything is being ruined and falling apart.

Can't be long now before King Jesus comes to end the mess.

[brianmarrian]

He chose them to be a blessing to the Nations - Gen 12:1-3 and Ps 67 ...

[lauracarreira]

The war continues and Lebanon just sent rockets into Israel.

Satan is obvious. God is mysterious. I love mystery.

Very well addressed. As prophecy after prophecy appears in front of our windscreen, only to recede in the rearview mirror, it only makes sense to reference the book(s) accurately cataloging events before they happen? Even if the book(s) weren't as accurate as they are proving to be, all three religions act upon them. If for no other reason, it makes sense to reference those touch-points.

Psalms 122:6-7 says:

6 Pray for the peace (shalom) of Yerushalayim: for they shall prosper that love thee.
7 May Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

As believers when we pray for her peace, we are praying for Christ Jesus's return, because His millennial reign will be in Yerushalayim, and the only way she will have absolute peace is during Christ's rule. But it also says that we will be blessed if we, corporately as a nation and individually as people -- mainly Christians in this dispensation, bestow blessing upon Israel. We can see this reciprocal favor that He has bestowed upon the United States.

But at the same time, we can see that the Most High has reestablished His hand over the nation, because for the end times to occur, as you stated Dinesh, the nation/state of Israel had to come back into existence, simply because, again, Christ will rule from Yerushalayim which will be the most preeminent land of all during his reign -- Israel will be the head of all nations, a nation of priests evangelizing the world.

Ezekiel prophesied over 2, 500 years ago that Israel, through the provident hand of the Almighty, would come back into existence as seen in his eponymous book in its 37th chapter. This came true some 73 years ago on May 14, 1948 in what was the rebirth of the nation, through the miraculous events of WWI, Weizmann, [edit, let me add:] Lord Balfour, et al., Britain taking possession of Palestine -- Jewish people don't like this name, as well as the heartbreaking events of WWII, [edit:] Truman, Jacobson, an older, feeble Weizmann (two n's).

Of course, they had to lose it first, which Ezekiel probably wouldn't have known, and this was fulfilled some 600+ years after he made his prophecy in 70AD, when Titus and the Roman army destroyed Yerushalayim. As a result, the southern tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and whatever of the other ten tribes that had reassembled in the southern kingdom were set in a nearly 2000-year Diaspora.

So the question is could God allow this little sliver of a nation of 7-8m Jewish people be destroyed by the surrounding hundreds of millions who want to eradicate her? I suppose it could happen and He could raise Israel anew, but it seems clearly evident that He is protecting her for the purpose of setting Christ's rule in motion. And we as Christians praying along with persons like PM Netanyahu leading her are human instruments who are keeping the dark spiritual forces at bay. Since He uses His supernatural powers as well as us, the natural, to accomplish His ends, I'm not worried about Israel, but I continue to pray for her peace and pray that BDS will unsuccessful.

Only Jews and Christians have the God (Jesus Christ) of the Bible, if you want to have this God (Jesus Christ) you must believe that Jesus Christ died was buried and rose again. If you believe this in your heart And confess with your mouth that Jesus is the Lord you will receive the spirt of God. You will know that you have the Spirit of God. All other religions have there own gods, not the God of Jews And Christians.
