#Prophecy. Wars & Rumors of Wars

Wars and rumors of wars. We hear it in the news every day. Are these signs of the End Times? Count on it. However, these signs are the birth pangs of the end to humanity – not the end.

It says in Matt. 24:6, "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.” (Matthew 24:6)

While our passage addresses the Jew’s second sign of the destruction of Jerusalem during the time of the Antichrist, there is a message for all authentic believers – see to it that you are not frightened. Jesus is reminding us that the End Times events MUST take place, AND we are not to be shaken by His prophecies unfolding.

The mere mention of the battle of Armageddon sends chills up the spines of all those who hear the word spoken. There are most likely few, Christian or not, who have not heard about this futuristic war. However, most do not understand the prophetic connections of this war to Revelation’s predictions.

While the earthly view of the battle of Armageddon is bad enough, there is yet a more horrifying perspective from the angel who takes charge of this battle – Michael, the Ark Angel (noted in our docudrama).

The conflicts between the nations are evidence of the signs of the times. The Apocalypse reveals four primary nations that will emerge as superpowers fighting for world power – Israel, Europe (Babylon), Russia, and America.

As stated throughout the Bible, Israel is the primary player and focus in the End Times. In fact, Israel is the reason for the End Times Prophecies. It will not matter what country shows the success of world dominance; God is focused on one single factor – placing His Son in His rightful place of ruling the world through His motherland Israel.

Many selfishly make the Second Coming of Jesus about the Gentile church. While knowing Jesus cares about His Gentile Bridal members, His focus is one race and one nation – that is none other than Israel.

There are many who claim to be prophets – some from God and most from the enemy. How do we determine the real from the fake? Great question.

All wars lead up to the final war – the battle of Armageddon. The 12^th chapter of Revelation reveals how this horrific war will come about. While we will spend adequate time detailing this war, it is important to know that all wars are strategic steps to the grand finale.

Wars have a single purpose – nations gaining sovereignty over their land. However, world wars are a different story. World wars work to gain sovereignty over the global community. Many times that is accomplished in individual countries snatching up other smaller nations. Large nations grow larger and stronger in the world's economy and global dominance. While Satan could care less about nations protecting their sovereignty, he is more interested in countries that like to play around with global influence, such as Russia, America, Europe, and even Israel. 

In my studies of the End Times, I focus on these four primary countries. My second focus is on a group that is not considered an official nation – the Islamic State, which believes they own the world. Outside of Israel, the primary four countries are not centered on religion; the Islamic State is about religion. Since the battle of Armageddon is based on religion, the two final religions battling for worship are none other than Judaism vs. Islam. Although it must be noted that the four primary countries will represent four key ideologies, the Antichrist needs to conquer the world – Israel (Judaism), Europe (Economy), Russia (Military), and America (Culture). The fifth governance that is stated in Revelation but is not an established nation is the New Babylon, which is a one-world religion.

According to God’s Holy Word, one of the first signs we watch for in the wars leading up to the final war is the gathering of the Jews in their homeland. Folks, we have seen more Jews return to Israel in the last decade than at any other time in history. Secondly, Revelation tells us that the consolidation of world power under an Antichrist figure from Europe is one of the key preludes of the Great Tribulation. Third in line is the prediction Ezekiel made of the day when Russia will lead an alliance of nations to attack Mother Israel, which ignites the battle of Armageddon. During the Tribulation of Satan, we expect a shift in global finances, activating one-world digital commerce. Finally, Revelation’s Great Whore, a one-world religion, will surface and dominate the world. While most think it is the Catholic church, I believe it will be none other than the people of Islam.  

Despite the United Nations’ agreement to call Israel a nation in 1948, God established the Abrahamic Covenant – marking the day of Abraham’s birth, 1948 BC. Within this Covenant, God promised to make Abraham a great nation. Furthermore, God revealed that the nation coming from Abraham would be Israel, the only nation God approves of as His nation. This single promise has ignited wars from that day forward. When you hear of wars, or rumors of wars, always think of Israel.

Within this promise, God committed to blessing all who bless Israel. However, He clarifies that He would curse all who dishonor Israel. Please remember, without the Jews; we would not have a Bible. The entire contents of the Bible are based on Israel. If Israel were not God’s nation, humanity would be without any moral code to sustain the sanity of the nations. On the other hand, since this nation is the only nation God promises to sustain, all wars are a prelude to the battle of Armageddon – the war to end all wars that have risen to squelch the nation of Israel.

Satan’s primary goal is to get the world's masses to hate orthodox Israel. Honestly, he is doing a pretty good job of accomplishing his mission. Although, that hatred is activating a curse from the Living God.

God’s Covenant with Abraham came without conditions. This promise came from God that, could not be revoked and was not subject to amendment or annulment. It didn’t matter how rebellious the Jews became; the promise was sealed in Heaven and thus will be carried out in humanity.

It was a personal Covenant. This promise brought blessings to all of the descendants and Abraham himself. Even under the conditions of Abraham’s wife, Sarah, panicking regarding the firstborn son of her husband, sent her maiden, an Egyptian, into Abraham’s tent to consummate Ishmael – who became the forefather of the Islamic State, Israel’s greatest enemy. God continued His promise.

THE NATIONAL COVENANT

We typically do not think of a great nation when we think of Israel. As we know, God said, “I will make you a great nation.” The logic is obvious. Israel is no larger than the state of New Jersey. Furthermore, global nations don’t seek her out for sustainability and help. Israel’s glory days will be during the 1,000-year reign of Jesus Christ, which is at the end of humanity’s days. Not only will she be the great nation God promised, but she will go on into eternity as the only nation of the Living God. This fulfills God’s Eternal Covenant promised to Abraham. 

God’s Covenant extends to a Territorial promise. Meaning the land itself is strategically calculated into the End Times of Revelation. The land is of such significance God establishes Jesus’s Millennial reign on the Holy Hill in the center of Israel. However, there is a challenge. The holiest place for the illegitimate son of Abraham, Ishmael, hosts the Dome of the Rock. In this, we discover the holy war that will explode on the battlefield of the Valley of Megiddo. Both the Jews and Islamic people consider this hill to be the most important zone on the face of the earth.

Satan knows everything I shared with you and much more. He, too, wants to rule from this hill. Worse yet, he wants to rule from the Holy of Holy room within the third and final temple of the Jews. Satan has always been focused on one thing, take the Holy Hill of the Living God. All wars and rumors of wars are because of this fact.

Israel will emerge as the greatest nation of all time. All Jews will return to their ancient homeland to set the stage for the closing act of God’s promise. While Christians are graphed into the pureblood line of Christ, God’s focus will be His Jews, who He calls One Nation, One Race, One Priest, and One People. Nations can resist this with their “woke” depraved opinions, but nothing will move the Abrahamic Covenant of our God.
