Israel's Greatest Need
Rapture Ready ^ | 4/27/24 | Daymond Duck

Posted on 04/28/2024 11:12:31 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

On Apr. 17, 2024, Iran’s president said Iran would completely destroy Israel if Israel proceeds with even the tiniest invasion of Iran.

A few hours later, Germany’s Foreign Minister tried to persuade Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran for attacking Israel with hundreds of drones and missiles.

Netanyahu said,

Israel will do whatever it needs to defend itself.

I appreciate the advice, but I want to be clear: Our decisions we will make ourselves.

I admire Netanyahu for what he has done and said, but according to Bible prophecy, Israel will not do the most important thing it needs to do (accept Jesus as their Messiah) for at least 7 more years.

Here is a short list of Bible prophecies about Israel.

Israel had to become a nation in one day before she travailed (before the Tribulation Period; Isa. 66:5-9).

Israel cannot be destroyed again (Israel’s enemies need to pay attention: Amos 9:15).

Israel must complete 490 years (70 weeks of years, including the 7-year Tribulation Period) before the Jews accept Jesus as their Messiah (Dan. 9:24-27).

The 7-year (2,520 days on the Jewish calendar) Tribulation Period will begin when the Antichrist confirms a covenant with many for one week of years (Dan. 9:27).

God will make Jerusalem a problem for the entire world during the Tribulation Period (Zech. 12:2-3). He will defend Jerusalem and destroy every nation that attacks her (Zech. 12:6-9; 14:12).

God will pour out His Spirit on Israel at the end of the 7-year Tribulation Period, Israel will accept Jesus as their Messiah (Jer. 23:5-8; Ezek. 36:24-28; Zech 12:10-14), He will come back, and all Israel will be saved (Rom. 11:26).

Israel needs to understand that she cannot defend herself, but God can, and Israel’s troubles will continue until the Jews accept Jesus as their Messiah (and they will).

Here are some events that appear to indicate that we are close to the end of the age.

One, concerning God’s protection of Israel and Iran’s attack on Israel: Rabbi Meir Lau (Rabbi of Tel Aviv) said, “God did us a great favor that 99% of all the UAVs were destroyed without harming us. There was only some damage to places and no harm to people. This whole story was a great miracle, but we still have not appreciated its magnitude. We experienced God’s true protection and this connection with the superpowers and our neighbors, as well as other details that are confidential, all I can say is that this was a great divine miracle.”

(More: Prophecy expert Amir Tsarfati said, “Prayer was the most successful air defense system.)

(More: Robert Gottselig, Director of The Friends of Israel, said, “We know that when God’s people pray, and especially when they have been and still are interceding for Israel and the Jewish people, God hears their prayers.”)

Two, on Apr. 22, 2024 (Passover day in Israel), two armed terrorists drove a car into pedestrians in Jerusalem (slightly wounding 3); they emerged from their vehicle trying to fire makeshift submachine guns at their victims and others, but their weapons failed, and they ran to escape. They were spotted by a police helicopter and arrested.

Officials called the minor injuries and failed guns a “Passover Miracle.”

Three, concerning the Israel-Hamas war: on Apr. 17, 2024, Israel said, “IAF planes conducted airstrikes against terrorists and terror infrastructure (in northern Gaza), hitting more than 40 targets over the past day, including underground launching posts, booby-trapped structures, military structures where armed terrorists operated, observation posts, underground terrorist infrastructure, and additional terrorist infrastructure.”

Israel also struck several targets in Rafah.

Four, concerning inflation, the decline of America, and the emptying of America’s strategic oil reserves: on Apr. 19, 2024, the Department of the Interior announced that it will prohibit any new oil drilling project in the U.S. Arctic Ocean as well as on 11 million acres of Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve and nearly 3 million acres of Alaska’s coastal waters.

Five, concerning a borderless world and illegal immigration: on Apr. 19, 2024, it was reported that illegal immigrants in New York complained that the amount of (free) food they get, their housing, (free) services, and other benefits they are getting are not enough and that this is unacceptable.

Six, concerning corruption in Washington and the belief by many that we can no longer trust the elections: I cannot count the times I have heard someone say that they do not believe the globalists will let Trump win the next election even if it becomes necessary to assassinate him.

I hope it is not true, but on Apr. 19, 2024, Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives proposed legislation to strip Pres. Trump of his Secret Service protection if he is convicted and sentenced for a felony.

Seven, concerning Biden’s efforts to force Netanyahu and Israel to obey him: on Apr. 21, 2024, it was reported that U.S. officials have confirmed that Biden intends to impose sanctions on an Israeli military unit on the West Bank of Israel (Judea and Samaria) for violating the rights of Palestinians.

Netanyahu said, “At a time when our soldiers are fighting terrorist monsters, the intention to sanction a unit in the IDF is the height of absurdity and a moral low.”

(My opinion: Biden is daring God to curse America.)

Eight, concerning America’s unstainable national debt and the economic collapse of the U.S.: on Apr. 3, 2024, it was reported that the White House intends to use funds appropriated to advance America’s national interest (democracy, freedom of speech, free market values, etc.) to train at least 200 LGBTQ+ activists to spread transgenderism in India.

Nine, concerning an increase in wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on Apr. 22, 2024, a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said military spending is soaring across the globe and it reached an all-time high in 2023.

Ten, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Apr. 23, 2024, Iran vowed to annihilate Israel if it launches a major attack on Iranian territory.

Iran’s Pres. Raisi said there will be nothing left of the Zionist regime (Israel).

Eleven, concerning hatred for Israel at the end of the age: on Apr. 22, 2024, U.S. Senators Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton asked Pres. Biden to mobilize the National Guard to protect Jewish students on college campuses.

Hawley sent a letter to Biden that said:

“On college campuses across the United States, Jewish Americans are at risk. … In your statement on Passover, you stated that “in recent days, we’ve seen harassment and calls for violence against Jews. This blatant antisemitism is reprehensible and dangerous — and it has absolutely no place on college campuses, or anywhere in our country.’ Now you must take action to match those words.”

(More: Hundreds of pro-Palestinian students have been arrested at Columbia University, New York University, and Yale University.)

(More: On Apr. 23, 2024, it was reported that 25 Republican Senators sent colleges a warning to shut down the Jew-hating mobs on campus or risk losing their public funding.)

Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war.

Wednesday, Apr. 17, 2024 (Day 194): The one hundred-thirty-ninth day of the resumed war.

Iran and its proxies (Hezbollah, etc.) have gone on high alert in anticipation of Israel’s retaliation for Iran’s recent drone attack on Israel.

Thursday, Apr. 18, 2024 (Day 195): The one-hundred-fortieth day of the resumed war.

It is being rumored that the U.S. will impose severe sanctions on Iran for attacking Israel, approve Israel’s actions on Rafah in the south and Hezbollah in the north, and transfer financial aid to Israel, if Israel will not retaliate against Iran.

The U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that would open the door for Palestine to become a state in the UN.

Israel used missiles to launch a limited strike near an airport and a major military base next to Iran’s nuclear reactor. There were simultaneous explosions in Iran, Iraq, and Syria.

Israel killed a senior Hamas intelligence official.

Israel captured several terrorists that were hiding in a school in Gaza.

Friday, Apr. 19, 2024 (Day 196): The one hundred-forty-first day of the resumed war.

Iran played down Israel’s strike on the previous day and signaled that it will not retaliate.

Israel’s strike on Iran accomplished what Israel set out to do – destroy the Russian anti-aircraft system that was installed to defend Iran’s nearby nuclear facility.

S. officials confirmed that Israel attacked a terrorist base in Iraq (base destroyed, one terrorist killed, 8 terrorists injured).

Saturday, Apr. 20, 2024 (Day 197): The one hundred-forty-second day of the resumed war.

Turkey’s Pres. Erdogan urged Palestinian Arabs to unite against Israel.

Sunday, Apr. 21, 2024 (Day 198): The one hundred-forty-third day of the resumed war.

Israel indicted the sister of Hamas’ top leader Ishmail Haniyeh on charges of inciting Muslims to kill Jews.

Netanyahu said he will fight sanctions the U.S. imposes on the Israeli military unit on the West Bank (Judea and Samaria).

Netanyahu said Israel will inflict painful blows on Hamas in the coming days to free the remaining hostages. He compared Hamas to Pharaoh, “It hardens its heart and refuses to let our people go; therefore, we will bring it more painful blows—and it will happen soon.”

Monday, Apr. 22, 2024 (Day 199): The one hundred-forty-fourth day of the resumed war.

Israel struck 3 villages in Lebanon, and Hezbollah fired about 35 rockets into Israel.

An independent Palestinian news anchor reported that Hamas deliberately killed numerous aid workers and stole shipments of food sent to Palestinians because Hamas wanted to be the only entity in Gaza in control of the warehousing and distribution of food.

Tuesday, Apr. 23, 2024 (Day 200): The one hundred-forty-fifth day of the resumed war.

Israeli intelligence learned that Hamas was loading several launchers in Gaza to fire rockets into Israel. Israeli jets struck the launchers before the rockets were fired.

Hamas urged Israel’s enemies to attack Israel on all fronts.

Wednesday, Apr. 24, 2024 (Day 201): The one hundred-forty-sixth day of the resumed war.

Per Biden’s demands to protect Palestinians, Israel will evacuate about 1.4 million civilians from Rafah in preparation for an attack starting about 3 weeks from now (Israel estimates that it will take about 3 weeks to eliminate Hamas in Rafah).

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

And RWC thinks all Jews will be magically converted, like a box of Lucky Charms. You and every other Jew say not a chance. All clear thinking Christians agree with you. I agree with you. Dispensationalists are wackadoodle.

Does he claim in this video that the woman of Revelation 12 is the Nation of Israel, like he has in others? False teacher alert.

All of the prophecies in the Hebrew Bible that G-d hasn’t yet fulfilled, He will surely fulfill in the future.

As you said, the Mashiach will one day personally reign over the whole earth from Jerusalem.

But our great dilemma is this. As Job said (9:2), “How can man be in the right, justified, before G-d?”

Am I right with G-d? Am I justified before G-d? How can I, a sinful human, be sure? Can I have that assurance?

Christianity is a different religion, not a fulfillment or extension of the religion of Abraham, Isaac AND Jacob:

Let’s try a longer look at The Mashiach -

And still more about our wonderful Mashiach:

Isaiah 53:6, We all went astray like sheep, Each going his own way; And the LORD visited upon him The guilt of all of us. (Tanakh)

Isaiah 53:7, He was maltreated, yet he was submissive, He did not open his mouth; Like a sheep being led to slaughter, Like a ewe, dumb before those who shear her, He did not open his mouth. (Tanakh)

Isaiah 53:10, But the LORD chose to crush him by disease, That, if he made himself an offering for guilt, He might see offspring and have long life, And that through him the LORD’s purpose might prosper. (Tanakh)

In Isaiah 53 the suffering Servant gives His life for Israel.

He (an individual) bore “their” (the people’s) iniquities (53:12 see below) and bore “the sin of many” who are identified as “the transgressors” (Tanakh, JPS, 1985).

Thus the Servant here must be an individual, not the nation, nor the people, for this one dies for the people, a permanent substitute the nation.

God provided a permanent removal of our sin through the promised Mashiach who dies as a substitute sacrifice for the sins of the world.

The Mashiach dies in our place.

Isaiah 53:4, Yet it was our sickness that he was bearing, Our suffering that he endured. We accounted him plagued, Smitten and afflicted by God; (Tanakh)

Isaiah 53:5, But he was wounded because of our sins, Crushed because of our iniquities. He bore the chastisement that made us whole, And by his bruises we were healed. (Tanakh)

Isaiah 53:6, We all went astray like sheep, Each going his own way; And the LORD visited upon him The guilt of all of us. (Tanakh)

The Mashiach rose from the dead.

Isaiah 53:10, But the LORD chose to crush him by disease, That, if he made himself an offering for guilt, He might see offspring and have long life, And that through him the LORD’s purpose might prosper. (Tanakh)

Isaiah 53:12, Assuredly, I will give him the many as his portion, He shall receive the multitude as his spoil. For he exposed himself to death And was numbered among the sinners, Whereas he bore the guilt of the many And made intercession for sinners. (Tanakh)

Psalms 16:10, For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. (Tanakh)

Psalms 16:10, written by King David around 1000 BC, could not have referred to David because he died and was buried and his tomb’s location was known for centuries thereafter.

All of our righteousnesses [הָדקְצָ , tzedaqah] are as “polluted garments” (Isaiah 64:6 [64:5 in Tanakh]) and we are all sinners, separated by our sins from God. So how does anyone obtain righteousness that God accepts?

Am I right with G-d? Am I justified before G-d? How can I, a sinful human, be sure? Can I have that assurance? What does G-d’s inerrant, inspired revelation tell me?

As with Abraham, God declares us righteous when we believe in His promise and provision of salvation.

Genesis 15:6, And he [Abraham] believed in the Lord; and He counted [imputed, credited] it to him for righteousness (1917 JPS (.]tzedaqah , ָצְדקָה]

Habakkuk 2:4, Behold, his soul is puffed up, it is not upright in him; but the righteous [יקּ ִדַצ, tzaddiq] shall live by his faith. (JPS 1917)

Isaiah 53:10, But the LORD chose to crush him by disease [the suffering Servant], That, he made himself [the Servant] an offering for guilt, He might see offspring and have long life, And that through him the LORD’s purpose might prosper. (Tanakh)

Isaiah 53:11, Out of his anguish he shall see it; He shall enjoy it to the full through his devotion. My righteous [הָָקְצדָ , tzedaqah] servant makes the many righteous [tzaddaq], It is their punishment that he bears; (Tanakh)

As with Moses and David, God wants us to listen to this Prophet and believe in the Messiah.

Deuteronomy 18:15, The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet from among your own people, like myself; him you shall heed. (Tanakh)

Psalms 2:7, Let me tell of the decree: the LORD said to me, “You are My son, I have fathered you this day.” (Tanakh)

Psalms 2:12, pay homage in good faith, lest He be angered, and your way be doomed in the mere flash of His anger. Happy are all who take refuge in Him. (Tanakh)

These verses demonstrate that all our good deeds, generous efforts, and charitable gifts can never measure up to the standard of God’s righteousness. However, the Hebrew Scriptures also promised a future prophet, a unique servant of God, who would come to bear in His own body our sins in order to provide righteousness, “to make many righteous” (Isaiah 53:11).

Only One who is perfectly righteous Himself can bear the sin of those who are not righteous. This is what the prophet Isaiah declared.

This was exemplified centuries earlier when Abraham believed in God and God “counted it to him for righteousness” (Genesis 15:6).

The promise Abraham believed was that God would be true to His promise in Genesis 3:15 to provide a descendant who would defeat Satan and bear the penalty of sin for the world.

But like Abraham, we must believe this promise to be credited with God’s righteousness.

The Kibbalah quoted above and the Talmud are foundation of belief in a new temple and the Red heifer fulfillment which
Ushers in antichrist who is described in Revelation.
I’ve been studying this for awhile now.

Sitra achra kelipah.

As per the RM's homepage posting guidelines under *Miscellaneous*.

https://freerepublic.com/~religionmoderator/

When posting in a foreign language, unless the statement is very common, e.g. adios, always include the English translation of it.

So could you translate that please?

When God made the covenant with Abraham and Abraham set up the cut pieces it was according to tradition that the lesser party agreed to keep the covenant and pay the penalty for breaking it.

Abraham fell into a deep sleep and GOD passed through the pieces, thus taking on Himself the penalty for Abraham breaking the covenant.

That was fulfilled finally when God Himself came to earth in a human body and took on and paid the penalty of sin for mankind, which is death. Jesus said *It is finished!* just before He died.

Tetelestai means *Paid in full*. IOW, God considered the penalty for the breaking of the covenant to be paid by Jesus death.

Lots of anger there.
My my...

I dare you to Read Isaiah 53, Hosea 5, and Zechariah 12.

You clearly don’t know your own Scriptures.
Otherwise you’d actually wonder why Jews are converting at much higher percentages now than ever before to Yeshua.

Why is that?

Oh yes! Indeed Psalm 22 is an excellent reference to Yeshuah Hamashiach.

And don’t forget, even King David referred to Him as “His LORD” in Psalm 110.

A yet to be fulfilled future prophecy!
