Israel And Islam And The Final Battles Over Jerusalem

battle for jerusalem

The name Israel first appears in Genesis 32:28; where it was given to Jacob after he wrestled all night with an angel, refusing to let the angel go until he blest him. The angel informed him that his name would no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for as a prince he had power with God and man and had prevailed. Jacob asked after his name, but the angel refused.

From then on, Israel became the national name of the descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob, applying to the twelve sons of Jacob, or the twelve tribes of Israel. Before the name Israel, they were known as the Hebrew people. This name first appears in the Bible in Genesis 14:13; where we have the expression, “Abram the Hebrew”. Abram, or Abraham, was a direct descendant of Eber. (Gen. 11:14-26) The name Jew is a derivative of Judah.

God spoke to Abraham this promise: “Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee: and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” — Gen. 12:1-3

There are three points in this promise. 1- Abraham’s posterity was to become a great nation. 2- His seed would be a channel of the Messiah. 3- His seed would be a blessing to all the families of the earth. In Galatians 3:8, the Apostle Paul refers to this promise and uses the word “nations” instead of “families.”

What’s more, the Scriptures looked forward to this time when God would declare the Gentiles to be righteous because of their faith. God proclaimed this good news to Abraham, long ago, when he said, “All nations will be blessed through you.” Actually there is little or no difference in the meaning of the words “families” and “nations,” as viewed by Abraham, for the “nations” of his day were large family (or tribal) groups.

Genesis 12:7, the Lord added, “Unto your seed will I give this land.” Genesis 13:14-15 “Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: for all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to your seed forever.” This is the fourth aspect of the promise made to Abraham; the land of Canaan was to be his and his children’s for an everlasting possession.

Abraham had another son, Ishmael, whom he considered qualified to be his heir. He said to the Lord, “O that Ishmael might live before thee!” But God replied, “Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.” Gen. 17:18-19 Later God said to Abraham “In Isaac shall thy seed be called.” Gen. 21:12

The Lord established this choice of Isaac as the progenitor of the promised seed. Sarah demanded that Ishmael, Abraham’s son by his Egyptian bondmaid, be cast out of the home. Ishmael’s life was spared, and he became the father of the Arab race. Ishmael persecuted Isaac then, and even now hatred still exists between the descendants of these two boys. Esau, the brother of Jacob, married one of Ishmael’s daughters; and his descendants, the Edomites, became intermingled with the descendants of Ishmael, the Arabs. The Arab nations later embraced Muhammad’s teachings of the Muslim faith; and are still in the news today, threatening to annihilate Israel. They both claim rights to the land of Palestine, through their father Abraham.

The Ishmaelites did not remain faithful to the God of Abraham. By the time of Muhammad they had 365 gods; and Muhammad chose one of them, Allah, as the one true God. Muhammad started teaching Islam around the year 610.

Islam means submission. The ultimate aim of Islam is to make the world wholly submitted to Allah. The Quran calls for a peaceful influence of the world toward the Muslim faith; but radical Islam calls for violence to convert the world to its beliefs. The Muslim Brotherhood is very active in all the nations surrounding the tiny Nation of Israel today; and has carried their terroristic attacks to many nations of the world, including America. Recent articles on Persecution.org shows Christians being attacked, persecuted, and killed in Islamic countries, and I believe there will be a day when it comes to America, England, and the rest of the world.

We see an increase in the number of Mosques being built in the cities of America. The question needs to be asked, “how many churches are being allowed to be built in Muslim countries?”. Modern New Age Christians are taking the attitude that all roads lead to the same God, and so the Muslim must worship the same God as Christians. Muslims are chanting five times a day that God has no need of a son and that Jesus is just a servant of Allah. True Christians, on the other hand, confess Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God and as the only way to have access to our Heavenly Father.

The land of Israel will become the stage for several wars, including the greatest war of all history. Syria and Damascus are prophesied about in Psalm 83 and Isaiah 17, and then there is a war where Russia and her Muslim allies will invade Israel after a peace treaty is signed, as prophesied in Ezekiel 38 & 39, as well as the battle of Armageddon (when Christ comes back as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and as King of kings and Lord of lords, with the Sword of His Word being spoken from His mouth, accompanied by His believers).

Muslims are awaiting their Mahdi, who will bring Jesus with him, to finish conquering the world for Islam by destroying 60 to 80% of the world’s population, specifically those who refuse to convert to Islam. The Book of Revelation foretells 50% of the world’s population killed during the seven years of tribulation.

Iran is in league with Russia and Syria, and has repeatedly voiced their desire to wipe Israel off the map, as well as threatening America with suitcase bombs; referring to us as the Great Satan and Israel as the Little Satan. Iran has recently acquired a delay in sanctions, while proceeding to build her nuclear weapons.

America has stood with Israel since she became a nation again in 1948. Obama has distanced himself from her, in the face of the world’s outcry for peace. Even the Pope is lending his voice; which is interesting, since the Bible calls for a one-world church, as well as a one-world leader of a one-world government. A False Prophet who accepts that all roads lead to the same God, while persecuting those who refuse to bow to anyone other than Jesus Christ as the only way to the Father. Romans 1:26-32 details God’s attitude toward those who refuse Him as the Creator of all life.

Daniel prophesied about the peace treaty around 600 years before Christ, in Daniel 9:27, saying that the Antichrist will make a firm covenant for one week (or in Hebrew, for seven years), but that he would break the covenant after 3 ½ years. Paul says in I Thessalonians 5:3 that when they say peace and safety, then there will come sudden destruction. Jesus spoke of the image of the Antichrist, that will be installed in the new temple at Jerusalem during this period of time, as the Abomination of Desolation, the same terminology that Daniel used in his writings. It is called an abomination because the Antichrist demands that the whole world bows down before it and worships him as God.

God has promised His Bride that He will Rapture her out of this hostility before the final Judgment on the kingdom of the Antichrist. This will create havoc on the world system, as billions of Christians are removed from the earth in the same manner that Jesus ascended to His Father in Acts 1:9-11.

God’s promise to Abraham still stands, as He does not break His Covenants. We are reminded of this every time we see a Rainbow in the sky; as this is the sign of God keeping His covenant with Noah that He will not destroy this earth again by a flood of waters. Peter says the earth is now reserved unto a judgment of Fire. This could mean nuclear fire, or nature being thrown out of kilter and the Sun scorching people and the earth; or it could mean that God is a consuming Fire and as He destroys those who fight against Him at Armageddon, He could also destroy the earth by His very presence, when it is time to create all things new, as foretold in Revelation chapter twenty one.

Isaiah 55:11, “so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”

Mark 13:31, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”

Revelation 22:11-15, “The evildoer must continue to do evil, and the one who is morally filthy must continue to be filthy. The one who is righteous must continue to act righteously, and the one who is holy must continue to be holy. Look! I am coming soon, and my reward is with me to pay each one according to what he has done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end! Blessed are those who wash their robes so they can have access to the tree of life and can enter into the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the sexually immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood!”

It is time for America to wake up from her idolatry of selfish lifestyles, humble herself, repent of removing the Ten Commandments from our schools and public offices, while promoting the killing of millions of innocent children through abortion and legalizing perverted sexual unions. America was founded on Biblical morals and ethics, while kneeling and bowing in prayer, giving thanks for all of God’s blessings and bounty. Now she has removed God and taken credit for all her possessions, while she plays with the DNA and genetics of man, animals and crops, just like in the Days of Noah. A Robotic soldier is already a reality in the near future, and we have no idea what is in our food and medications anymore. God will not give His Glory to another, especially to those He has created from lumps of clay.

judgment seat

Jesus is coming soon. Are you ready to stand before Him to give an account of what you have done in your body while on this earth? There are so many things being worked on for the coming years, in regards to chips and control of the masses. What will the next ten years bring? Israel and Islam are not going to be reconciled by any peace treaty, but only by the Prince of Peace, Himself.
