How the Peace of Jerusalem Will Be Established
As of late, we have seen the world led by the United States seeking to strip from Israel it present day borders and bullying them into a forced agreement with those who absolutely abhor them and seek their utter destruction. Sadly, America (who is governed at the moment by the progressive Left) has always been Israel’s strongest ally but at present has forsaken Israel and thrown them under the Middle East Islamic bus. With an anti-Israeli Europe and now a current anti-Israeli U.S. administration, Israel’s back is totally up against the wall and they know it.
"Sadly, America (who is governed at the moment by the progress Left) - has always been Israel’s strongest ally but at present has seemed to have forsaken Israel and thrown them under the Middle East Islamic bus"
When the present world which we are living in has become hostile and aggressive towards Israel, do not expect to see them idly stand by and let the world decide their fate and eradicate them from off of the face of the earth. Israel is a military might in that region with nukes and is armed to the teeth. As the world continues its anti-Semitic agenda they will one day choose to look the other way and allow Israel’s enemies in that region to grossly cross the line with Israel. It will be then that Israel - in the reaction of self defense and national survival - will finally strike back with great fury and military might. Israel will totally institute the Limbaugh Doctrine and secure their borders. They will obliterate and wipe out their border enemies unto the point that they will achieve finally complete safety and security (Ezek. 38:8, 11-12). Israel will bring about their “own” peace and the world at that time will be forced to recognize it. It will be after this time that a man from Europe will broker a deal and lend his might to a covenant (peace treaty) on behalf of Israel’s greatly defeated enemies. This European leader will enter into a seven year covenant with Israel not from a position of dominance but rather from a position of weakness (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 6:2).
It will be just before these events transpire that the Rapture of the Church will take place in which Almighty God the Son will call out His body (saints and ambassadors). This event (i.e., The Rapture) will be a wondrous sign unto the apostate western “post - Christian” world and have more of an impact on their culture and society than other regions in the world. It will be just after this event takes place that all had better be prepared, for Almighty God's "Day of Wrath" is now at hand (2 Thess. 2:3-12)!
"All these are the beginning of sorrows (birth pangs) Matt. 24:8".. As we are leading up to that time we are constantly seeing Israel’s border enemies being ever more emboldened to stir up strife and lash out against Israel. Just in this last month alone we have seen Israel’s border enemies seeking to bait and provoke Israel to engage them and rally world opinion and its leaders against them. Israel’s border enemies - especially the Palestinian people - sadly are nothing but the pawns and victims of the anti Semitic Arab nations, Iran and Russia. These weaker Islamic nations are more than willing to heed these voices and are rabidly chomping at the bit to destroy Israel and occupy Israel’s land.
Connecting the Dots
Now to put this all together with a last days biblical perspective. The official commencement of the horrific seven year period (i.e., The Day of the Lord) will begin with the breaking of the 1st seal (i.e., the "Confirming of the Covenant" - Dan. 9:27) by Almighty God’s Lamb (i.e., The Lord Jesus Christ) in Heaven (Rev. 6:1). It is at this precise moment that the man of lawlessness (i.e., the anti-Christ) will be revealed unto the entire world (2 Thess. 2: 3-12; Rev. 6:2). This revealing of the Anti-Christ and the commencement of this seven year tribulation period will begin (as was stated prior) when this man (i.e., the Anti-Christ) adding his position of great power and authority to a covenant with Israel on the behalf of Israel’s DEFEATED enemies (Ezek. 38:8,11-12, Dan. 9: 27). Israel will sign this covenant from a position of absolute strength, not weakness. This prophetic position is contrary to that to which many great biblical scholars have held through the years (Ezek 38: 8). When this position (position of strength) is received, all the prophetic pieces come together as we shall see.
"Israel will sign this covenant from a position of absolute strength, not weakness contrary to that which many biblical scholars have believed"
With the complete defeat of Israel's border enemies Israel will then have the rest and peace that they have so long sought and will dwell in their land in complete safety. One event Israel did not anticipate will be the Rapture of the Church of believers (Israel's strongest ally) and the arrival of Almighty God’s Two wondrous Messengers (Ezek. 38:8,11-12, Rev. 11:3-7). Sadly with this newly acquisition and position of power Israel's heart will NOT be right with Almighty God (Rev. 11:8). Tragically, in Israel’s new found security and rest they will only seek to corrupt themselves and find themselves hard against the RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God and His Two Messengers. It will be also during this time that Israel (like it or not) will have the super natural protection of Almighty God’s Two Witnesses who - just coming off of 3000 years in the presence of Almighty God in glory - will possess Almighty God's Divine authority. These Two Men will be extremely more powerful than Satan’s anti - Christ and his global confederacies (Rev. 11:3-6). These Two will be ABSOLUTELY INVINCIBLE during their 1260 days of ministry!
"This revealing of the Anti-Christ and the commencement of this seven year tribulation period will begin when this man (i.e., the Anti-Christ) adds his position of great power and authority to a covenant with Israel on the behalf of Israel’s defeated enemies" ..During this time of ease for the nation Israel these Two Lamp Stands of Almighty God (Moses and Elijah) will preach salvation in Jesus Messiah, re- institute the temple, its sacrifices and its priesthood. They will preach repentance and testify to ALL in the earth that the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. These Two will then prepare the remnant of believing Jews and a chosen 144,000 Jewish men - from the 12 tribes of Israel - (Matt. 24:14, Rev. 7:4-8, 11:13) for their global ministry unto ALL nations of the earth and preach the Messiah’s glorious gospel and imminent return and Kingdom. It will be at this time -the first 3 1/2 years of the tribulation period - that the WORLD will seek any and every opportunity to root out and destroy these two Divinely appointed vessels of Almighty God... all to no avail (Mal. 4:4-6, Rev. 7,14:1-4,11:3-8). . It will be at this time - at the beginning of this seven year period, while Israel dwells in their land in absolute safety - that the WHOLE GENTILE WORLD will be catastrophically trodden down by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Trumpet Judgments of Almighty God and the demonic host of destroyers (Rev. 6-9). These events along with their consequences - including the unopposed preaching of RIGHTEOUSNESS of the Two Witnesses of Almighty God (Mal. 4:4-6, John 3:19-21, Rev. 11:2-4,10) will only stir up the world’s exponential rage and hatred for Israel (Rev. 11:10).
"The Two Witnesses of Almighty God will only stir up the world’s exponential rage and hatred for Israel"
As these 3 ½ years go by, unbelieving Israel will now begin to feel the chastening hand of Almighty God via Gog and Magog (Ezek. 38-39), the global ravishing of Satan’s hatred and the world’s wrath (Rev. 11:8) and the Abomination of Desolation (Matt. 24:15-17, 2 Thess. 2:8-13, Rev 13). As the Second Woe comes near to completion, so also ends the mighty Two Witnesses of Almighty God’s ministry and their protective hand over Israel. As their 1260 days are now fully accomplished, the Anti Christ will NOW own the next remaining 3 ½ years or 1260 days or 42 months of this tribulation period (Rev. 11:3; 13:1-5). As he breaks his covenant with Israel (Dan 9:27), he will violently murder Almighty God’s Two Witnesses. It will be this momentous event (the murder of Almighty God’s Two Witnesses) that a long awaited god hating, anti-Semitic ravished world will then with all their wretched being rejoice exceedingly at the Anti Christ’s victory and confess unto all, “Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him” (Rev. 11:8-10,13)? This one event will solidify the world's allegiance to the beast, to Lucifer and institute the 666 global state.
As the godless and lawless world celebrates with exceeding godless joy, this rejoicing will be short lived. For at the end of 3 ½ days Almighty God’s Two Witnesses will then be resuscitation and ascension into Heaven in front of the world's masses and their newly reigning “ savior” (i.e., Anti Christ) (Matt. 24:15, Rev. 13:1-5). It will be at this moment that all of the air in their lawless bag will be let out. The world’s short lived exceeding joy and rejoicing will be instantly turned into exceeding terror and fear. As REALITY now totally permeates ALL of the world's godless inhabitants, their fear and dread will now turn to uncontrollable rage and they will now seek to go after Israel with ALL of their being. Any who call on the name of the Messiah of Israel will now be in their sights (Rev. 12:6, 12-17, 13, 17:11-14). This "time" (i.e., 42 months ) under the anti Christ has now FULLY begun which is called, “Great Tribulation" or "Jacob’s Trouble”. . "The world’s short lived exceeding joy and rejoicing will be instantly turned into exceeding terror and fear"
It will be now - with the rise of the Anti Christ as chief global autocratic and the establishment and institution of the Abomination of Desolation (Dan. 12, Zech. 11. Matt. 24:15, Rev. 11:1-2, 12:9-17, 13) that Israel’s’ security and safety will now be a thing of the past. No more will they dwell in safety and have the luxury to do as "they" please. For they will now be persecuted to a level unparalleled in the annals of history and suffer greatly under the hand of Lucifer and the godless nations of the world under the anti Christ (Isa. 24:5-6, Zech. 13:8-9, 14:2, Matt. 24:15-51, Rev. 12:9-17).
"The Messiah of Israel will come from Heaven's glory and destroy the armies of the anti Christ which have gathered against Israel and then He will establish His glorious Kingdom reign for a thousand years in Jerusalem"
It will be at the end of all of these events (seven years to the exact day from the strengthening of the covenant) that Almighty God’s Son, the Messiah of Israel will come from Heaven's glory and destroy the armies of the anti Christ which have gathered against Israel and then He will establish His glorious Kingdom reign for a thousand years in Jerusalem (Isa. 11:1-10, Micah 4:1-3, Zech 12:8-14, 13:1, 14:1-4, Rev. 1:7, 20:6). In these brief seven years, Israel will have come full circle. Finally, it will be during this time of great testing and horrific persecution by the gentile nations under the Anti Christ (Isa. 24:5-6, Zech. 13:8-9,12:9-7,13) that Israel will turn from their godless ways and receive their Messiah and Savior, the Lord Yeshua Messiah (Deut. 4:30, Isa.25:9, 45:17, Jer. 33:16, Zech. 12:8-14,13:1,9, Rom. 11:26). It will take the Divine judgment and the natural and super natural ravishing of planet earth and her godless inhabitants (Isa. 24:5-6, Matt. 24, Rev. 13) - which concludes with the final blood bath of the Battle of Armageddon (Zech. 12:2-4, 14:1-4, Rev. 16:13-16, Rev. 19:11-21) - to bring Israel to the place of repentance and deliverance (Isa. 25:9, Zech. 12:8-14, 13:1,9).
It will be the ravishing of Israel under the anti Christ,climaxing with the global bloodbath of Armageddon at Messiah's glorious return in which Jesus Messiah will obliterate the global armies of the Anti Christ which will finally bring about a TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE to Jerusalem (the City of Peace), to the nation of Israel and to the world (Zech. 12:4,14:2-4, Rev. 19:11-21)!
"It will be the ravishing of Israel under the anti Christ, climaxing with the global bloodbath of Armageddon at Messiah's glorious return that will finally bring about a TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE to Jerusalem (the City of Peace) and to the nation of Israel!"
What Israel and the nations have attempted for centuries and could NEVER achieve will finally be accomplished at Almighty God the Son’s second coming to earth (Psalm 2, 24:7-10, 110, Isa. 2:3, 9:6-7, 33:22, 51:5,61:1-11, Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45, 7:13-14, Micah 4:1-3, Zech. 14:16-21, Rev. 19:11-21)...
The TRUE Peace Comes to Jerusalem!
It will be ONLY by the Prince of Peace that TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE will come to the City of Jerusalem (Isa. 9:6-7, 33:5, 53:5, 62;1, Jer. 33:16, Zech 8:3, Matt. 5:35, Rom. 10:2-4, Eph. 2:12-19, Col. 1:20, Heb. 1:3, 10:7-14). How many in vain through out the ages have sought and prayed in sincerity for the peace of Jerusalem WITHOUT knowledge nor understanding (Isa. 29:13, 58:1-8, Matt. 7:21-23, 15:3, 7-9, Mark 12:24)? Throughout the last 2600 years, how many sons of Abraham have totally missed the reality and truth of the Holy Scriptures of just how this Divine peace MUST be established (Deut. 9:6, 28-30,31:27, Lev. 26, Psalm 78, Isa. 53:5, Ezek. 12:2, Dan 9:26, Matt. 15:3-7-9, Luke 13:34-35, Acts 7, Rom. 9-11, Rev. 1:7)?
"Through out the last 2600 years, how many sons of Abraham have totally missed the reality and truth of the Holy Scriptures of just how this Divine peace MUST be established"
My dear friend, please try to comprehend that ALL current global events are indeed heading to this destination and EXPONENTIALLY beyond (Rev. 19:11-21)! Remember the words of the Lord Jesus in which He specifically told His disciples to pray, “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (Matt. 6:9-10).” Oh my beloved! How many people pray this prayer day after day and are absolutely oblivious to what it is testifying to and stating! “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” .
It will indeed take the horrific seven year tribulation period to wake up the Jew and the gentile nations to this reality (Isa. 24:5-6, Rev. 6:14-17, 17:2).There is absolutely NO hope for Israel and the nations of the world apart for their Creator and Savior, Jesus Messiah (John 3:16-17, Eph. 2:12-16, Heb 1:2-3). It will NOT be until the Jew is reconciled with Jehovah God and receive their Messiah as their sacrificial lamb, propitiation and Savior that the nations WILL BE BLESSED (Isa. 2:1-4, 19:23-25, Micah 4:1-4, Zech. 8:23, Rom. 11:12) and TRUE DIVINE PEACE will go forth out of Jerusalem unto the entire world (Isa. 2:3-4,33:16, 62:1, Jer. 33:5)!
"It will NOT be until the Jew is reconciled with Jehovah God and receive their Messiah as their sacrificial lamb, propitiation and Savior that the nations WILL BE BLESSED and TRUE DIVINE PEACE will go forth out of Jerusalem unto the entire world"
My friend, do you have a saving relationship to Jesus Messiah the Savior of the world (Psalm 110:1, Isa. 43:11,52:13-15, 53)? All depends on this very union. His death, burial and resurrection to the Right Hand of Almighty God is the center piece of all ETERNITY (Gen. 22:8, Psalm 110:1, Isa. 53, 1 Cor. 15:1-4, Rev. 1:18,13:8, 21-22:1-5). He will indeed come back to establish His Kingdom on His earth and the gates of Hell shall not nor NEVER prevent this from happening (Dan. 2:44-45, 7:13-14, Rev. 1:7, 16:13-16, 19:11-21).
As the days grow nearer to the Day of the Lord be sure that you know the Savior and Messiah of Israel as dictated by the Holy Scriptures!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
The only thing I would have a question about is the timing of the confirming of the seven year "peace" covenant. I have always believed that the Antichrist doesn't come on the scene until after the Ezekiel war because that would seem to be the perfect stage for the Beast to come to the rescue and install world peace once and for all. I also believe that the seven-year covenant will allow the Jews to rebuild their temple.
However, the second seal that Christ opens is war, which happens after the seal unleashing the Antichrist is opened and he is seen as a messianic hero. It could be that the Ezekiel war takes place shortly after the Antichrist makes his appearance, which would allow the Antichrist to take advantage of the horrific aftermath of this war, and could be the time when he brings about the seven-year treaty between Israel, the nations, and himself.
If the "war" in the second seal is indeed the Ezekiel war, then it will happen right before the Tribulation begins. As the official start of the Tribulation is the time when the Antichrist confirms the seven-year pact with Israel, and since Ezekiel tells us that Israel will be burning the weapons of that war for seven years, then the Ezekiel prophecy has to happen right before the Tribulation.
Thank you from my heart on both scores!
To God be all Glory, all Thanks and Praise!
Thank You GiovannaNicoletta
Indeed, as we see in Chapter Five of Daniel, he was literally reading 'off the wall' to help Belshazzar! Which brings to mind an association to something offered later in this thread, regarding the nature of time. I believe the one Who wrote upon the wall at palace party central reached from a where/when with a different nature of time, 'into' the reality of King Belshazzar who perceived time in a different nature of time.
In life we now live we perceive of the effect of time as if it is linear, running from past to present to future. we may conjecture (rightly I believe) that God perceives dimension time from outside of it, as if viewing a volume. The many settings described in prophetic writings from the Bible may in fact be so strange to our comprehension because we do not conceive of the temporal nature as linear AND planar AND volumetric. To say time ends or our linear time ends, may be incorrect. Time as we perceieve it may be changed in the twinkling of an eye to be perceived as a planar dimensional influence, thus tapping into actualities which we cannot now perceive in linear temporal mode.
I'll leave it at that. Perhaps some will make an effort to imagine what reality might be like (our perception of reality, of what is truth) if we perceive time in a planar orientation instead of a linear orientation. Whomever wrote upon the wall in Daniel 5 had a different orientation to time, you may be absolutely certain of that, since The One reaching into Belshazzar's where/when wrote absolutely of things yet to be perceived by the king. Whomever wrote perceive the Kings present while having access to the king's future, also.
BB,
Thank you for your kind words of encouragment!
God speed!
Eph 5:16-17!

I.F.
Prior to the UN meeting in September, Obama, the global community organizer and his friends, Western radicals and jihadists, are going to invade Israel by sea (floatillas) and accross the Egyptian border on foot.
Israel will have to surrender their borders to these “protestors” or stop them with military force. The Muslims will use the Western media and White House and European leaders to hysterically and hatefully denounce Israel’s killing of “protestors” and they will demonize Bibi in the same vien they did to Kadafi.
There will be calls for a new leader of Israel who will sign the “peace” agreement dividing Israel and threats of Nato military invasion by UN decree. In this spirit, the UN will vote to establish the Palenstian State with the 67 borders. It will be peacefully accepted by Israel via the leader replacing Bibi in exchange for UN or Nato military security. NATO will take out Syria’s leadership (Hizzbulah will survive and the Muslim Brotherhood will rule like in all the other nations overthrown) and invade Israel’s current terrorties to clear out Jewish settlers and enforce “peace.” There will be no fly zones established and the Jews located in Palenstian land will be forcefully cleared out and harmed by Muslim and western radical armies. The Jews in the settlements will resist and they will be killed and it won’t be televised just like the Muslim Brotherhood’s slaughter of Christians in Egypt is not being televised. Obama will use our military as he deems against Syria and Israel and not go through Congress as he has gotten away with as a test in Libya.
This is not so much prophecy as it is facts I see on the ground from what I know of radical strategies and plans in Obama’s government and among protest leaders.
The US is already suffering the punishment of God for having a Muslim leader who is totally against Israel and hatching plans to divide the nation. In fact, if Obama puts up that “peace” agreement, he might be the Anti Christ...
If Congress puts teeth in it’s show of anger over libya and whacks Obama, cutting off his funding for that war, it might wreck his plans to make more war in the Middle East to force the UN peace agreement on Israel. But I think nothing will phase him short of impeachment. With the Senate, that will not happen. He is on a mission from his god. But so are we and so we must pray and work against this plan of Obama’s (and the globalists who bought him).
In the aftermath, the US will crash economically and suffer through horrific disasters and even famine, and these folks will be celebrating the demise of the US and Israel.
And then, when peace and security is claimed, war will come in an effort to finish off the Jews and the US military peace enforcement troops.
A new US leader won’t be able to stop what Obama has done even if we are successful in removing him from office in 2012. Many, many Americans, Europeans and the Muslims of the world will cheer and love Obama for this defeat of Israel in the name of peace and security. It might help him get re-elected.
It is real important to prepare, as you know. The shtf beginning this summer with “protestor” invasions, then the UN meeting to establish the 67 Palestienian state, the removal of Bibi and UN military invasion of Israel to clear out the settlers and keep Israel’s military from acting to protect the settlers. All these armies called the UN peace keepers will end up in a war against Israel as Iran and Egyptian muslims make their move to wipe out the Jews. We should watch what Canada does as so far they have rejected Obama’s horrific demands upon Israel. That might be a safe place to go if Canada continues to reject Obama through the Summer and Fall.

I agree. bttt
Since God says he knows the end from the beginning, and is outside of time, he already knows who, out of his won free-will decision, has rejected him. He already knows who are his elect.
Ah, yes.... if we can only find "The Keys", which unlocks “the secret”.
You are merely one, in a long ling of others, that have claimed to have found it! Praise the lord!
And your point is? Yes, I’m human and do get hot under the collar, so what’s your excuse? After all, what have you done to add to this thread, other than point fingers? Here’s an idea, how about you either add something positive or at least useful or are you just here to stir up trouble?
Anyway, again, I apologize for jumping the gun and assuming that you were just trolling. It wasn't called for and I should have stopped and reconsidered what I wrote before I posted it.
You previously wrote: “I love debates on this material, but I do suggest not mocking someone without first researching their views and being able to provide a counter-view of your own as well.”
My point in post #30? I was merely linking you to what you said you loved and "providing" you with the counter-view you indicated that you wanted. If you don't deem it "useful" or "positive", you may ignore it if you like. :)
No problem ...apology accepted!
I'm sorry, but no matter what I think of those Fathers and Elders, they don't hold the same weight as Scripture does. They may have studied at the feet of the Apostles, but they are not the Apostles and their words are not guaranteed to be either infallible or even remotely correct. Now, if their teachings match up with Scripture, then yes we can accept it, but if they don't then I don't care if they learned from John or James or who, they're still wrong.
So I ask you, what support from Scripture do you submit that your theory of Amillennialsim is correct and the doctrine of a literal, Millennial reign of Christ on Earth is not correct?
I couldn't agree more. I don't know if this means I'm a Predestined Freewill Baptist or a Freewill Predestined Baptist, but it works. It does make me wonder if sometimes God just laughs and shakes His head at our attempts to puzzle out things like this.
WOW! You're a REALLY fast reader! The Scriptural support I provided at my links in #30 above (including the subject of Amillennialism) is exhaustive, and would take most people the better part of a year to get through it all.
Most of the questions you could come up with here about "Scriptural support", are already dealt with at those links, so I would point you back to a "careful reading" of them.
Oh, and here's another little tid-bit you might find "interesting". Or not. :)
