Is it not sobering and very curious that Israel, even when they are totally out of the will of Almighty God are still the scourge of the nations (Deut. 28-32, Lev. 26)? This in its self is a testament to the fulfillment of the Word of the Lord and Bible prophecy and a sign to all nations and to the Jews that Israel is Almighty God's people. It will be after the destruction of Gog's confederacy that Almighty God will reveal this very point (Ezek.39, 7, 21-26). The nation of Israel at present - though back in the land - is out of the will of the TRUE KING of Israel and in the days coming up He will send them the two mighty patriarchs of old (Moses and Elijah), whom Israel has always reverenced. They will be dressed in black sackcloth and will awaken Israel slumber and address their godlessness and spiritual apostasy (Deut. 28-32, Lev. 26, Ezek. 39:21-24, Dan. 9:26-27, Matt. 23:37, 27:22-25, Rev. 11:2-6).
It will come to be in the near future at the beginning of the Day of the Lord (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 6:1-2) when Israel has beforehand eliminated her border enemies (Ezek. 38:8,11,13,14,39:25-26), that Almighty God's Two Witnesses will arrive in Israel and provide supernatural protection for their ministry which also will include the supernatural protection of the nation Israel (Ezek. 38:8,11,13,14,39:25-26, Rev. 11:2-6, 10). Under the Divine protection of Moses and Elijah (Rev. 11:2-6, 10) Israel will dwell in unwalled cities in complete safety and security, while the nations go through horrific global war and demonic domination (Ezek. 38:8,11,13,14, Rev. 6-9).
What is most tragic about this time of security and safety (Ezek. 38:8,11,13,14, 39:25-26) is that Israel will NOT want to hear the message of salvation which is found in Yeshua presented by Moses and Elijah (the Two Witnesses). Just as their fathers of old did not want to hear redemption's story so will the overwhelming majority of Jews at this time. The Jews at this time WILL NOT let go of their delusional bankrupt religious views and secularism - which exclude the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God (Rom. 10:2-4) - and will continue to seek to outlive their godless existence even in the light of Divine authority and signs and wonders at the hands of Almighty God's two BURNING Lamp Stands (Psalm 76, 106, Ezek. 39:7, 25-26, Zech. 13:6-9, Acts 2, 7, Matt. 27:22-25, John 19:15, Rev. 11:2-6, 8). Israel will rebel against the temple worship established at Moses and Elijah's hand which points back to Messiah's person and work (Isa. 53), their prophecies and the wonderful REALITY and TRUTH of Messiah's soon GLORIOUS second coming from the RIGHT HAND of the Father to establish His Kingdom reign (Psalm 110:1, Ezek. 39:25-26, Isa. 61:1-6, Dan. 2:44-45, 7:13,14, Zech. 14: 1-4, Rev. 1:5, 11:26, Rev. 19:11-21)!
As the inhabitants of Israel see the world going through HORRIFIC tribulation (Matt. 24: 6-8, Rev. 6-9) as they (Israel) dwell in security, safety and unbelief (Ezek. 38:8,11,13,14), they will become callus, idle and will rebel continually against the very ones who are the patriarch's of Israel (Moses and Elijah) and their testimony and word. It will be at this time near the middle of the first half of the tribulation period that Almighty God will use Israel and their prosperity in the land - which has been "brought back from the sword" - as bait to bait Gog of the land of Magog and his Islamic confederacy to come and take a "spoil" and a "prey" (Ezek. 38:8-14, 39:7, 25-26). In using this demonically governed man (Gog), Almighty God will seek to get Israel's FULL attention as he once did with Pharaoh at the birth of their nation (Ex. 14:4, Ezek 39:7,21). Almighty God will FULLY manifest His glory and Name among unbelieving Israel and the gentile nations and there will be no doubt to the REALITY of His ETERNAL Name and PERSON that He is the God of Israel and ETERNAL SOVEREIGN of ALL ETERNITY and the earth (Ezek. 39:7,21-26, Dan. 4:17).
Here is some background into Gog's great desire. In the first 3 1/2 years of global tribulation the world's gentile nations have been going through HORRIFIC global war, supernatural plagues, demonic domination and demonic destruction (Matt. 24:6-8, Rev. 6-9). The surviving nations of the world at this time have seen firsthand the Divine SUPERNATURAL protective hand of Moses and Elijah and are suffering greatly from the consequences of the Seal and Trumpet Judgments (Rev. 6-9, 11:2-6). With such HORRIFIC devastation heaped upon Gog and his confederacy during this time the land of Israel is a perfect target for supplies, resources, food and revenge (Ezek. 38:10-13). Israel during this time will be the most despised nation of the world and much of that EXPONENTIAL hatred has to do with the TREMENDOUS POWER, AUTHORITY and MINISTRY of Moses and Elijah (Matt. 24:6-9, Rev. 11:2-6, 10).
It will be that this time that Gog will come out of his northern dwelling with his massive army and confederacy and seek to cover the land of Israel like a tremendous storm cloud to plunder and destroy (Ezek 38). Millions of the surviving inhabitants from the prior Seal and Trumpet judgments (Rev. 6-9) from these nations will mass on Israel who are unbelieving, unprepared and idle (Ezek. 38:8-14, 39:7, 25-26). Because the Two Witnesses of Revelation's ministry to Israel takes place in the first half of the tribulation period (Rev. 11:2-7) and Gog's invasion of Israel also takes place during this time period we have concluded here at the IFB that Gog and Almighty God's Two Witnesses will go head to head (Rev. 11:5-7, 38:16-23, 39). As Gog's armies approach Israel to destroy and plunder her, Almighty God by the hand of His Two Witnesses (Moses and Elijah) will call down GREAT and HORRIFIC destruction on Gog's host and deliver the nation of Israel from utter ruin (Ezek. 38:18-23, 39:1-8). At the hand of Moses and Elijah (Ezek.38:16-23, 39:1-7, Rev. 11:2-6) Almighty God will make known His glory and Name among unbelieving Israel and the raging nations and whether or not these choose to repent and believe they will know without a shadow of doubt that Almighty God is God and that these two messengers are His prophets. As Almighty God delivered Israel from Pharaoh's armies at the Red Sea (Ex.14-15) so will it be in this day (Ezek. 38:23, 39:7,13, 21,22).
This beyond amazing victory will cause Jews in the land and Gentile nations to FULLY comprehend that Almighty God is GOD and the God and protector of the people Israel (the apple of His eye) and that Israel went into captivity since 70 AD.because of their iniquity, unbelief and rebellion (Ezek. 39:6-7, 23).
This destruction at the hands of the Moses and Elijah will be so devastating that 5/6 of all of Gog's invading host will be destroyed and their dead bodies will be scattered upon the mountains and valleys in the land of Israel. It will take 7 months to bury Gog's dead hordes and they will give a huge portion of Israel to bury Gog and his host (Ezek. 39:9-20).
Even after this massive invasion of Gog and his horrific destruction at the hand of Moses and Elijah (Almighty God's vessels) Israel will still not believe nor repent (Ezek. 39:25-26, Rev. 11:8)! They will know of a truth that Almighty God is the God of Israel (Ezek. 38: 39:7, 22), for they have seen His WONDROUS POWERFUL hand against Gog's invading armies and confederacy but they are not yet ready to repent and to say that Yeshua is the Messiah and the Lamb of Almighty God and receive the testimony of Almighty God's Two Witnesses, Moses and Elijah (Lev. 17:11-14, Isa. 53, John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4).
My dear friends hear me and hear me well. Almighty God is at total war with any (Jew or Gentile) who chooses to stay unrepentant, rebellious and violate His ETERNAL established SPIRITUAL ABSOLUTES for ETERNITY and MORAL ABSOLUTES for time (John 3:36). The 7 year tribulation period is a time of PURE WRATH of the ungodly in time and the GREAT WHITE THRONE for ALL who remain unrepentant and hardened in their godless rebellion against ALL that is RIGHTEOUS and ABSOLUTE.
Even after the Two Witnesses GREAT and STUPENDOUS victory over Gog's invading millions Israel will still NOT let go of her secularism, godlessness, rebellion and lawlessness and will continue to be hostile towards God's message of salvation that Yeshua IS the Savior of the World (Ezek. 39:25-26, Rev. 11:8). As Israel's unbelieving father's have always done (Psalms. 78,106, Matt. 27: Acts 7), so will also these follow suite. Israel will now find that Almighty God has no other choice now but to remove Israel's protective hedge (Ezek. 39:26, Matt. 24:15-21, Rev. 11:6-14) and allow Satan and his demonic human tool the Anti -Messiah to inflict HORRIFIC GREAT TRIBULATION upon Israel and the world (i,e., Jacob's trouble Jer. 30:4-8, 18). - (Dan. 9: 27, Matt. 24:15-21, Rev. 12:6-17, 13).
My dear Jewish friend, Yeshua (salvation) is the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world (Lev. 17:11-14, Isa. 53). He is the FULFILLMENT of the 10 commandments and the end of the Law to RIGHTEOUSNESS to all who believe (Rom. 10:2-4). Israel t present will not place their trust in Him and as the Holy Scripture teaches so very clear she will go through GREAT tribulation and then receive her Messiah with bitter tears (Zech. 12:10-14).
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

A stirring read. Thanks for posting.
WoooHoooo! Maranatha.
A favorite Johnny Cash song speaks to the same days.
“When the Man Comes Around”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9IfHDi-2EA
He ain’t singing about a Zombie TV show.
There’s a man going around taking names
And he decides who to free and who to blame
Everybody won’t be treated all the same
There’ll be a golden ladder reaching down
When the Man comes around
The hairs on your arm will stand up
At the terror in each sip and in each sup
Will you partake of that last offered cup?
Or disappear into the potter’s ground
When the Man comes around
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling, voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
It’s Alpha and Omega’s kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It’s hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no shalam, no shalom
Then the father hen will call his chickens home
The wise man will bow down before the throne
And at His feet they’ll cast their golden crowns
When the Man comes around
Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long written down
When the Man comes around
Hear the trumpets, hear the pipers
One hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to the big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
It’s Alpha and Omega’s kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn tree
It’s hard for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured hundred weight and penney pound
When the Man comes around.
Close (Spoken part)
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And his name that sat on him was Death
And Hell followed with him.
Bad days indeed. I pray to see it all from the balcony Up Yonder.
Scuse me.
I thought that Titus destroyed Jerusalem in 70AD and sent the Jews packing to all points of the compass.
When did Titus convert to Christianity?
Titus was Roman and a Pontifex Maximus. Pre-Christian, yes, but some conflate the two.
Speaking of the Jews as you put it “packing to all points of the compass.” All of the info on the Blood Moons brought out that Christopher Columbus was Jewish. That was not in my history lessons and I asked my Sunday School class what they learned about it and one kid said that he was taught Christopher Columbus was a Spanish explorer. . . .here is a link http://yehudafm.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/was-christopher-columbus-jewish/
Converso. His exit was very timely, given other circumstances then extant in Spain.
And Lake Memphremagog.
I also believe it will be the two you mentioned, as they never experienced the death that is promised that all men must suffer.
The two witnesses will die their appointed deaths as all human beings do, and a wicked world will watch and rejoice. That’s what the prophecy says. They’ll lie in the streets for three days and be resurrected, also according to prophecy.
The is both “the Church” and “Israel” seen in Revelation.
God and Abram made a covenant. Only God walked the convenient, not Abram (he was put to sleep). This is illustrative of God’s dealing with Israel.
For example, Israel is Asleep (they are asleep now, until the events in Revelation).
Also, Abram did NOTHING. Usually in a semitic covenant, BOTH parties walked between the halts of the animals....In the case of the Abramic covenant, God did it all. Just as the fulfillment of God’s covenant does NOT deepend on the actions of the Jews!
Just like Christians’ salvation is NOT dependent on OUR actions, but our Faith!
You can complain all you want about how the Jews have not listened to God. He know who he was choosing. He chose a stiff-necked people. They have used their stubbornness to not change ONE JOT or TITLE in the Word of God! If only we Christians with our “bible translations of the week” would do so.
No, We are all saved by Grace, through Faith. Abram was, Moses, were all Jews and the modern Jews will be saved through JESUS (there is only one way).
I would suggest you ask Jesus why he saved the Jews that have been saved and will be saved....We should NOT read scriptures and interpret them and pronounce people damned or saved....That is judging!
Abram looked forward with Faith to the Redeemer. No, he did not have our advantage of knowing his name, but that is not what saves.....
Ignorant fisherman, the unlearned, the least of the least, the least expected, the dispised of this world, the weak of this world God uses.
I might add Ignorant Fisherman ? The last time the Jews and Isreal, oops, I meant ISRAEL he was a babe, a lamb, but when he comes back the 2nd time he IS THE KING ...,. OF all KINGS .
One thing many forget, every king has a usher, the “porter “ opens the gate for the shepherd.
In some translations it says “ the watchman opens the gate for the shepherd “ .
There will be a war and a wedding feast in their own times.
“....Christopher Columbus was a Spanish explorer. . . “
.
Chris was employed by the Spanish crown but he was an Italian by birth.
He could’ve been a Jew, I don’t know.
That’s called replacement theology.
However, no matter,they are God’s chosen people and God has not left them out of his plans.
Yes, there is no redemption with out salvation in Jesus Christ, but God is still working out his plans for Jewish people , the world, and Christians.
>God and Abram made a covenant.<
.
God made the covenant — Abram was the recipient of the blessings that came with it.
That is racist.
I would say that God put them on the shelf for future use and future glory.
Now is the grace age and the gentiles time.
“Damn it!”
No, God AND Abram “agreed” to the covenant, but the only ACTION required was by God.
If Abram did not have Faith (and therefore undertook the covenant), his offspring would not become Israel.
Verse 6 “Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.”
This is a mystery - How can God be sovereign and Man (in this case Abram) have free will. Abram could have NOT believed the Lord.
The answer is that the two are NOT at odds — God’s foreknowledge is across time, whilst Man’s in always in just our time. Both Free Will and God’s Sovereignty are required to harmonize the scripture.
He could’ve been a Jew, I don’t know
The Jo-oos!
See? ...it's all their fault.
Lol.
What, exactly, is wrong with my assessment? Are you asserting that Jews are saved without first converting to Christianity?
