Resurrection Life of Jesus Church

WHAT TIME IS IT
It was April 13 when news broke that Iran had attacked the State of Israel. Some of the American television networks discontinued their regular programming and began to show a live feed from Israel. It was not until late Saturday night that we learned some 300 drones and missiles from Iran had been destroyed in the air and that Israel had sustained little damage.

On Sunday morning, “The Daily Report” from Israel stated the cost of shooting down this armada was $1.33 billion and was shared by the United States, Great Britain, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. The Arrow missile system (long range) is part of Israel’s tiered defense system which is teamed up with David’s Sling (medium to long range), and the Iron Dome and Iron Beam (short range). The Arrow missiles cost 3.5 million dollars each and the missiles for David’s Sling go for one million dollars. The average cost for each of the Iranian drones was $20,000.

It did not take long for the Internet to explode with comments about what this attack meant.

1. Was this the beginning of World War 3?

2. Was this a sign that the second coming of Jesus was imminent?

3. What kind of prophetic news was given to the church through this attack?

When I awoke on Sunday morning, the Holy Spirit told me to address the situation in the Middle East according to what is stated in the Bible. The New Testament teaches the Antichrist (Beast, Man of Sin, Son of Perdition) will set up his kingdom on earth before the second return of Jesus.

FACTS ABOUT THE ANTICHRIST
Where is the Antichrist going to derive his authority? The Book of Revelation provides the answer. It is important to note that the events contained therein are not written in chronological order.

Jerusalem is identified as the city from which the Antichrist will rule the world. When the Man of Sin has taken power, the first 3.5 years of his reign will be marred by two witnesses or prophets who will stand in front of his palace and carry out judgments on the earth’s population. Revelation 11:1-6

After a period of 3.5 years, God will remove the protection enjoyed by the two prophets and soldiers of the Antichrist will kill them. The hatred for these two men will be so strong that the Antichrist will let their dead bodies simply lay in the street for all the world to see on global television. It is at this point that Jesus reveals the city in which they were killed is none other than Jerusalem. verses 7-9

Joy breaks out worldwide as people celebrate the death of these two hated men. More than likely this event occurs around Christmas as people are recorded exchanging gifts with one another. verse 10

Their bodies lie in the street for 3.5 days and then they are resurrected and taken to heaven. Great fear comes upon earth’s citizens as they witness the resurrection on television. Afterwards, Jesus sends an earthquake that strikes Jerusalem and a tenth of the city is destroyed. verses 11-13

Revelation chapter eleven is the only place in the Bible that definitively records the capitol of the Antichrist. This also leads us to conclude that Israel is the nation that will rule over all other nations during the reign of the Antichrist.

WORLD FEDERATION
Jesus outlines how the Antichrist will setup his world federation. The Man of Sin will act as the sole ruler during the first 3.5 years, then he will be joined by a man simply labeled as the False Prophet. Revelation 19:20

It is interesting that the Antichrist arrives from the ocean, whereas the False Prophet comes up from under the earth. Revelation 13:1, 11

My understanding is that these “two men” are not actually human since they are cast directly into the Lake of Fire when Jesus returns to earth. Humanity is judged at the Great White Throne Judgment and these two rogues are not accorded that privilege. Revelation 19:20; 20:11-15

All nations will be merged into a World Federation ruled by the Antichrist with a religious leader at his side who directs all worship to the Man of Sin. The time is coming when all nations will be forced to give up their sovereignty and merge into the World Federation with its capital of Jerusalem. The Son of Perdition will curse God and those in heaven, and persecute the believers in Christ that remain on earth. Revelation 13:2-8

This is bad news for those who have bought into the idea of a pre-tribulation rapture. Christians will still be on earth to face the wrath of the Beast and his system. The catching away will take place sometime later on.

THE GREAT DECEPTION
Jesus will rule the earth from Jerusalem during the millennium kingdom. The general teaching in Christian churches since around 1900 is that God will restore the land of Palestine to the Jews – and this is true – so when the World Zionist movement was able to establish the political state of Israel in 1948, it was heralded as the work of God – but it wasn’t! Revelation 20:9

There is a small segment of Jews who have accepted Jesus as their Messiah and they are known as Messianic Jews. But the majority of the Jews living in the world today have been taught that Jesus was an impostor; Mary was a whore who was impregnated by a Roman soldier and the resulting child was named Jesus. The Jewish religious leadership believed the God-man committed blasphemy by equating Himself with God and this is why they turned Him over to the Roman occupation government for crucifixion.

The Christian Zionist movement has adherents among the Baptists, Pentecostals and Evangelicals. They falsely believe God helped the Jews to re-establish the political State of Israel in 1948 and God intervened supernaturally in the wars of 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, and 2006. In contrast, most Zionists are atheistic, but they do believe that He promised them Palestine. Do you see the scriptural gymnastics Christian Zionists are doing to validate their point of view?

Christians are ignorant of the fact there is a group of Kabbalistic Jews wielding immense political power who are actively working to establish their messiah. This man will be of Jewish descent and seemingly “anointed by God” with supernatural power. Jesus called this movement the Synagogue of Satan and its leader will be none other than the infamous Antichrist. Revelation 2:9; 3:9

The apostle Paul discussed this issue around A.D. 51, some 19 years before the destruction of the temple, and approximately 30 years before the Book of Revelation was written in A.D. 100.

Paul prophesied there will be a falling away among the Jews before Jesus returns to earth. The Man of Sin will come to prominence, establish himself in Jerusalem, and demand worship as he sits in the temple. 2 Thessalonians 2:1-10
Humanity will stubbornly refuse to believe what God had spoken, and as a result, He will send strong delusion upon Jews and Christians alike to believe Satan’s impostor. verses 11-12

ISRAEL TODAY
The truth is that the political State of Israel was established in 1948 by the Devil. God had nothing do with it. To do so would violate His character since the modern state was founded upon lies and murder. Instead, these are the trademark characteristics of the Devil. John 8:44

Re-establishing a political state was the first step toward the Beast system described in the Book of Revelation. While the Jews firmly control Jerusalem, the Al-Aqsa Mosque stands in their way because it is built on the temple mount. It will be removed one day in the future to make way for the Antichrist temple.

Satan has cleverly seduced Christians into believing modern Israel is a work of God and leaders like John Hagee, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Michael Evans, Robert Jeffress and many others are falsely teaching it was a divine effort that brought the Jews back to Israel and now it is the duty of Christians to support them. Some of these men have gone so far as to say that “Christians should not witness to Jews; they do not need Jesus because God has a special salvation plan for them.” They wholeheartedly recommend the support of Israel financially and militarily. This horrible lie disregards what Jesus plainly taught. John 14:6

The apostle John wrote that anyone denying the fact that Jesus is the Messiah – God in the flesh – has the spirit of Antichrist. 1 John 4:1-6

JEWS TO ISRAEL
The Christian Zionists have hijacked the writings of Ezekiel and used it to justify their embrace of the State of Israel. These reprobate men have violated the text and lied to Christians. God gave prophetic insight to Ezekiel around 580 B.C. about the future millennial kingdom and how the last war will be fought. The apostle John was also given a brief description of the war. Revelation 20:7-9

Ezekiel received the message after Jerusalem had been conquered by the Babylonians and its people had been carried away into captivity. Unity was the first thing that God addressed. The twelve tribes would no longer be separated into northern and southern tribes, but brought back as one nation. Ezekiel 37:15-20

God will bring the scattered tribes back to the Promised Land. This will be carried out supernaturally, not the whim of man. verse 21-22

God is going to open their eyes, bring them to repentance, and cleanse them. verse 23
King David will be resurrected and reign as their king again. verse 24

The people are brought back to the Promised Land. verse 25

God will make a new covenant with them. He will set His sanctuary in their midst. This is not a temple since there are no more sacrifices. verse 26

The tabernacle will be brought back as the people of Israel are saved and sanctified.  verses 27-28

SUMMARY
The political state of Israel was established in 1948 through deception, murder and by the power of the sword. The Zionist movement was primarily secular and the founding fathers, like David ben Gurion and Golda Meir, were Zionist activists who firmly believed that the only way for Israel to be “resurrected” was through deception, stealth, and with guns. It is stated that the Prime Ministers of Israel, David ben Gurion, Golda Meir and Yitzhak Rabin were atheists.1 They firmly believed in the Jewish people, the land of Israel, but they wanted nothing to do with God. Interestingly, the unofficial motto of the Mossad intelligence service is “By way of deception.”

God did not establish the modern Israel. It was established by Jewish people, who at large have rejected Jesus as the Messiah.

The Israeli Knesset (Parliament) passed an anti-conversion bill in 1965 that makes it a crime to convert a Jewish minor to a different religion. A conviction carries a six-month prison sentence.2

The political state of Israel is the forerunner for the future Antichrist, who’s religion will be the Jewish kabbalah. Supporting the current political state of Israel is the same as supporting the coming Antichrist. One day Christian Zionists will find out that they worked to usher in the Antichrist and set up the world for the dreaded time known as “The Tribulation.” 2 Thessalonians 2:8-12
