The Red Dragon

Transcript
The Book of Revelation is the ultimate climax of the story told to us through Scripture.
Many denominations preach about it, and the coming climax, and the coming victory of Jesus, AMEN
But what many seem to leave out is a big important part of end times story,
The Nation of Israel
It has been said that the New testament is in the Old Testament concealed and the Old Testament is in the New Testament Revealed.
When one seriously studies the Bible as the Word of God, they’ll quickly discover that the Bible is a story told about God’s Sovereignty, His creation, then the crowing Jewel of his creation, Mankind.
It reveals that Mankind rejected His hand of fellowship, under His conditions, and allowed for the introduction of sin and rebellion into the perfect world He created
Starting on the first pages of what we call Scripture, we discover how God reacted to mankind’s rebellion, and how he reacted to the progenitor of that rebellion.
Namely the serpent.
There several major players in end times prophecy.
Jesus, His enemy, The angels, the gentiles, and the nation of Israel.
There are some who believe that the Church has taken the place of one of these major players, namely Israel in end times prophecy.
However, they have not done their Bible homework.
Because as we’ll discover, that Israel, albeit with its many failures, is still a part of God’s plan.
We saw proof of this on May 14, 1948,
When against all odds, prophecy was fulfilled when Israel was a nation once again, and grounded in the land promised to them by God during the time of the Patriarchs,
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
And the very next day on May 15, 1948 the brand new Nation of Israel, went to war as the surrounding Arab nations protested their existence as many still do today,
Invaded Israel and forced her to defend her independence as a sovereign nation.
Prophecy was fulfilled on May 14, 1948
The stage was once again set for the unraveling of End Times prophecy to continue marching towards these end of days
Woman Throws Engagement Ring
One fine day in 1941, Violet Bailey and her fiancé Samuel Booth were strolling through the English countryside, deeply in love and engaged to be married. A diamond engagement ring sparkled on Violet's finger—her most treasured possession.
Their romantic bliss suddenly ended. One of them said something that hurt the other. An argument ensued, then escalated. At its worst point, Violet became so angry she pulled the diamond engagement ring from her finger, drew back her arm, and hurled the treasured possession with all her might into the field.
The ring sailed through the air, fell to the ground, and nestled under the grass in such a way that it was impossible to see. Violet and Samuel kissed and made up. Then they walked and walked through that field hunting for the lost ring. They never found it.
They were married two months later. They had a child and eventually a grandson. Part of their family lore was the story of the lost engagement ring.
Violet and Samuel grew old together, and in 1993 Samuel died. Fifteen years passed, but the ring was not forgotten. One day Violet's grandson got an idea. Perhaps he could find his grandmother's ring with a metal detector. He bought one and went to the field where Violet had hurled her treasured possession 67 years earlier. He turned on his metal detector and began to crisscross the field, waving the detector over the grass. After two hours of searching, he found what he was looking for. Later, filled with joy and pride, he placed the diamond ring into the hand of his astonished grandmother Violet. The treasured possession had come home.
And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
