War in Israel
Israel has declared war yesterday when the walls were breached
households were taken captive or killed
1000’s of rockets were directed into Jerusalem and Tel Aviv
the Iranian proxies from Hamas have started this war
all of the surrounding countries want to see Israel annihilated
taken off the map
Read Psalm 83 Bill Salus Chart Prophecy depot ministries
Can you see the possible fulfilment of this Prophecy?
there is a report from the defense minister that at the conclusion of this war the landscape in and around Israel will be changed
there are many Christians who say that the church has replaced Israel as God’s chosen people
has God taken His hand off the Israelites?
Has the Church replaced Israel?
does Israel even deserve to be a chosen nation?
lets look at what the Bible have to say
God’s Covenant
God’s Covenant
Genesis 15 7-18
an old covenant between people would look like this
a blood covenant both parties would walk through the middle
representing the blood is the payment for breaking this deal
but Abram was asleep only God went through
this was a promise from God that the land belongs to Abraham and his descendents
“And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your seed after you.
God gave this land to the Israelites as a possession forever
God gave another promise to David
that He would establish his throne again Forever
1 Chronicles 17:11–14 (LSB)
“And it will be that when your days are fulfilled to go to be with your fathers, I will raise up one of your seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
“He shall build for Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
“I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; and I will not remove My lovingkindness from him, as I removed it from him who was before you.
“But I will cause him to stand in My house and in My kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever.”’”
God will cause him to stand
God is going to make this happen
God is the one who has a plan for this planet
and everything is going according to His plan
and so we know the in the Millennial Kingdom and beyond Jesus the shoot of David will sit on that throne
If these promises from God have been revoked for any reason
Have been changed
depended upon their behavior, or anything else
and the promise to David or Abraham has in anyway been changed
what can we think about ...
Our Saviors Promise
Our Saviors Promise
can it be trusted?
Jesus told his disciples
I am going to prepare a place for you and come back to bring you home
How do we know that life is not like this cartoon
If we listen to the new age religion this is exactly what earth is and its people
we are in the god’s made up reality
How do we know the Bible is true?
The little nation of Israel
the nation who started in captivity
God gave them the land of Israel
God sent them into the nations in AD 70
the land became a wasteland where nomadic people lived
no water grass or trees
the Hebrew language disappeared
the people disappeared
the nation disappeared
the Jewish people never lost their heritage
WWII caused them to lose everything in Europe
forcing them to settle in the promised land
Just as God had foretold in scripture
now Israel is the envy of the world
for their technology, oil gas
the land is the most fertile in the world
Just as God had said to his prophets
So getting back to the promise of Jesus to his church
we know from history that every promise that God has given
Most have been fulfilled , and many are still in the future
Lets watch and see if Psalms 83 is being fulfilled in this war
If God has prophesied about anything and has not been fulfilled to the letter then we ourselves have no hope the future prophesies will not
but they have and this gives me great Hope
and it also tells me that God is not through with Israel
the church is the Bride of Christ totally separate from the bride of the Father Israel
Israel Today
Israel Today
when God created this world He had a plan for this world
things today are not out of control in the eyes of God
God has a plan for this universe
and everything is going according to plan
“Remember the former things long past,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me,
Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things which have not been done,
Saying, ‘My counsel will be established,
And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’,
Yahweh of hosts has sworn saying, “Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have counseled so it will stand,
Whether God promised to Abraham or David
Whether Jesus promised to the Church it will happen
Jerusalem is in a war this morning
we are to
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May they prosper who love you.
Let us do that right now
