QUIET URGENCY IN FACE OF PROBABLE WAR (Israel)
Jerusalem Journal ^ | August 3, 2016 | Brian Schrauger

Posted on 08/05/2016 4:46:52 PM PDT by Lera

Behind the headlines, Israel is quietly concerned about protecting its citizens from an attack just across its northern border with Lebanon. Hezbollah, the so-called "Party of Allah" is known to have at least 150 thousand missiles in its armory. They are all earmarked for the Jewish State.

Under Iran's control, it is virtually certain that the only reason Hezbollah has not yet attacked Israel is because of Syria. Like Hezbollah in Lebanon, that country's President Assad is also a vassal of the Islamic Republic. Almost all of Tehran's immediate efforts are focused on keeping Assad in power. Accordingly, Hezbollah has been on the ground, shedding blood for a cause that is not its own priority. This sacrifice for its Persian masters is held together by mutual commitment to Israel's destruction.

Iran wants it, Hezbollah wants it. Israel is their next objective and everyone knows it. Including Israel.

Just over a month ago, in June, Prime Minister Netanyahu's Cabinet approved a study on the threats that the country will face in a future war with Hezbollah. The results were sobering. In its current rate of readiness, Israel would have to endure two weeks of missile attacks, and at a count of 1,500 missiles per day.

The number is huge: as many as 21,000 missiles, maybe more, would be launched before the assault could be stopped. Some of these missiles Israel will not be able to intercepted. Some will hit their targets.

Those targets will include any location in Israel. No city, no region, will be exempt. Unlike rockets fired from Gaza in 2014, missiles from the north are sophisticated and powerful. Able to reach every part of Israel with devastating payloads, they have navigational systems provided by Iran.

"Preemptive action may be on the table...."

I think you are more than correct, it is more a question of just when. This would be one hell of a war, certainly compared to the short Gaza flare ups we have seen in the recent past, and much bigger and deadlier than the last Israeli/Lebanon war.

Will the Israelis be able to choose the time, in which case the American election would definitely weigh heavily upon such timing, or will this simply erupt out of the blue, with the Israelis only half prepared? This is the kind of thing that happens, when everyone is focused on our outrageously preposterous election machinations, and the Brazil Olympics. No one is expecting this now. Expect it, soon.

Didn’t Baba Vanga have a prophecy that Obama would be our last president or something like that?

Israel has, in the past, driven tanks to the outskirts of Beirut. They killed any, everyone with a weapon in their path.

Most of the cowardly A Rabs just fled.

They'll be forced to do it again. I hope this time they lead with artillery.

Such is alleged. Not clear if she actually did. But even without that one, lots to ponder over the next few months.

“Preemptive action may be on the table....”

That number of missiles have to be kept somewhere. Even a couple of hundred would take up a big room.

So in which cave systems does Hezbollah store their missiles?

150,000 missiles, with more coming every day, takes up a wee bit of space.

I suspect that Israel knows a lot about the general whereabouts of the stores.

Perhaps it is time for a workplace accident that happens to cause a lot of secondary explosions.

One of my greatest disappointments in Bush.

We knew where they were being manufactured, we knew that they were being sent by the IRG to kill our troops and his military leadership chose not to wage war with the source of the problem, but to pinprick itself to death fighting the proxies.

I would have been fine with the resulting turmoil even after we found out that Norks, Russians and even a few Euros were killed in the attack.

[our last president]

I share a similar concern. Right now, that’s all I’m going to say.

I’ll just mention that there was something personal to me in 2007.

Let’s see what happens.

I don't know what is going to happen, although the signs all seem to point to Israel being attacked - soon. All of Israel needs desperately to rely on God, in faith, and He will protect them.

What I have tried to contemplate is where Isaiah 17 and Psalm 83 enter into future events. I simply do not know.

I agree with Lera that America will be judged for putting Obama Barry Hussein Soetoro Barack in power. This is a curse on our nation, and the harm he has done (and will be done) to Israel because of this homosexual-Muslim-narcissist-demon-possessed man will be immense. America has become a very wicked nation. We embody 2 Timothy 3.

You are not the only one who felt that way.
I also felt 2007 was our last free election .

[[Better order a lifetime supply and have it fedexed.]]

Now is not the time to panic and do rush things.
Now is the time to clean all of the garbage out of our lives and seek him with all our hearts.
If you are doing anything in your life that is an affront to him now is the time to own up to it as being sin and turn away from it (Teshuva ) and seek his face.

Jeremiah 29:13

13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

God has always fought the battles for the people who seek and cry out to him for all the horrible things we see going on around us. It is to late to cry out once the onslaught is coming . Now is the time to be thankful for all he has given us and for all he will do for us when trouble comes.
This is what protected people before

(Ezekiel 9:4) And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

(Ezekiel 9:5) And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

(Ezekiel 9:6) Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

Natan’s dream for what is happening does not happen all at once . It is played out over a course of 7 years , the time of Jacob’s trouble that the prophet Daniel talked about.

I know that you do not believe as I do but it is almost time for people like me to go. Soon we will not be here and God is going to turn his attention back to the Jewish people and he is going to shine his face on them once again to fulfill all the promises he has made for them.

In Natan’s dream when the Messiah’s feet touch the Mount of Olives and the land before him splits is right out of the bible . He comes to save him when Israel cries out to him at the end of the seven years . When they say
“Baruch haba be’Shem Adonai”

Things will be made clear to you when Elijah returns he is one of the two Natan was talking about . You might not like what he has to say but you will need to pay heed to it because that is what will put the mark on the foreheads of the people that are going to be protected . The mark , the letter tav did not always look like it is written today , it looked like the formation in which Israel camped in the wilderness wanderings after the exodus.

[[How do i not believe as you do?]]

You put your faith in the law .
Noahide law will not save you.
The law was given to us to show us the need of a redeemer.

I put my trust that the redeemer paid the ransom for my sin.
Because I know my own righteousness can never save me, I will always miss the mark.

Because I do this I choose to follow him and walk in his Spirit where the law has no bounds on me. Because I do that the law is no longer DO NOT it becomes I do not want to do those things.

Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Jesus Christ came to heal the brokenhearted (Luke 4:18 , Isaiah 61:1)

Here are the verses in the Torah that specifically say that God is not a man and can never be nor is any messiah Him either.

Numbers 23:19
“God is not a man that He should lie, nor is He a mortal that He should relent. Would He say and not do, speak and not fulfill?”

1 Samuel 15:29
“And also, the Strength of Israel will neither lie nor repent, for He is not a man to repent.”

1 Kings 8:27
“But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You; much less this temple that I have erected.”

Isaiah 57:15
“For so said the High and Exalted One, Who dwells to eternity, and His name is Holy, “With the lofty and the holy ones I dwell, and with the crushed and humble in spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the crushed.”

Is your God so small that he can not grow feet and redeem his people ?

There will be no mistaking the coming of King Messiah and God himself is going to use supernatural power to establish HIS KINGDOM

(Daniel 7:13) I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

(Daniel 7:14) And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

When Messiah returns he is going to build the Lords temple and sit on the throan of David as KING AND PRIEST . He will rule over all the nations
and the nation of Israel will be the center of God’s on all the earth.

(Zechariah 6:12) And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:

(Zechariah 6:13) Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

Notice he returns and then builds the temple , the temple is NOT built for him. Any temple built for him before he comes in glory is not the Messiah’s.

Read Ezekiel 40-45 and you will find all the details of King Messiahs temple (Israel can not build this only King Messiah can build this)
and in Chapter 43 you will notice he is sitting on the throne of David

(Ezekiel 43:2) And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

(Ezekiel 43:3) And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.

(Ezekiel 43:4) And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.

(Ezekiel 43:5) So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

(Ezekiel 43:6) And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.

(Ezekiel 43:7) And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.

Notice Ezekiel witnessed the God of Israel in his glory and the throne of David is rezerved only for the Messiah , this shows that the Messiah and the God of Israel are one .
(You have been reciting this for thousands of years - Shema Yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai echad)

(Psalms 2:7) I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

(Psalms 2:8) Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Notice the Messiah of Israel shares a unique relationship with the God of Israel and he is known as the only begotten Son of God . King David was never promised to rule over the nations but King Messiah will.

When King Messiah comes and sits on the throne of David the nation of Israel will declare that he is BOTH Messiah and Lord

(Isaiah 9:6) For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

(Isaiah 9:7) Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

The prophets also reveled he would come TWICE (Hebrew sages thought there would be two Messiah - Messiah ben Yoseph and Messiah ben David - it is not two it is ONE coming TWICE )

(Zechariah 9:9) Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
(Zechariah 9:10) And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.

Isaiah wrote that his righteous servent would die for the sins of the people

(Isaiah 53:10) Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

(Isaiah 53:11) He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

King Solomon even gives us a hint

(Proverbs 30:4) Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?

The truth is that all mens hearts are wicked and we all sin
God is Holy , holy , holy and we are NOT
Our sin is an affront to him and this why we need someone to redeem us
according to your own law the only one who can redeem is a kinsman , a goel

(John 3:16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

(John 3:17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Ask yourself why did the God of Israel not want to give Israel a king in the time of the judges like all the other nations ?

(1 Samuel 8:7) And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

Israel still has the same problem
She wants to be like the other nations
That is why the time of Jacob’s trouble is coming and the Assyrian I was telling you about earlier is the covenant of death . Israel will know they have been hoodwinked when he declares himself god with a little g

Your God took a crazy girl with pink hair , a foul mouth and an affinity for racing bikes and cleaned her up and taught her the book that was given to you better than you know it yourself.
He did it for one reason only , to make you jealous enough to search it out yourself to see if what I tell you is true.
Your problem is not that you do not believe me . It is that you do not believe your own Tanakh and you think your God is small.

You, like the rest of the natios, always want to create God in your own image and put him in a box. He’s way, way, WAY bigger than you can even imagine.

You didn’t address any of those verses I pointed nor will you or any other Christian.

When the mashiach of the end days shows up you aren’t gonna like him because he’s not going to be what you want him or other Christians to be. You will be disappointed and angry because of that.

He will rule with the Torah which is forever and declare God as the one and only creator of the universe. He will not declare himself God.
