"Valley Where GOD Will Judge"
The Kidron Valley, or The Valley of Jehoshaphat, which means "The Valley Where God Will Judge" is also known to be the place of the war of Gog and Magog. The Bible states the Gentile Nations will join forces to come against Israel to destroy her, but in the end, God will judge all of the gentiles for the wrongs done to Israel from the beginning of time and only the gentiles who have helped Israel will be spared. This is "why" America should Never, ever, turn against Israel!
When the Bible mentions something over and over, we can be sure that it has ultimate priority to Almighty God. The Authorized version of the Bible mentions Jerusalem 811 times, and Israel is mentioned 2,566 times; this tells us what is foremost in the mind of the God who rules and judges all. God's people of Israel and "His land" of Israel are special to Him and the whole earth revolves around what happens in this tiny Nation. The land of Israel is God's land, "The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land {is} mine; for ye {are} strangers and sojourners with me." (Leviticus 25:23)
God made a promise and gave His land to Abraham and his children through Isaac and Jacob (Genesis 17:19-21), but did not give any of His land to Ishmael, Abraham's child with Hagar. Thus, is the continual war over the land in Israel. The descendants of Ishmael believe they received the promises, but they did not, and even today, especially today, the constant talk of division of "the land" is news worldwide.
"Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant,
then out of all nations, you will be my treasured
possession. Although, the whole earth is mine."
(Exodus 19:5)
Guess who's in control? Guess who rules the world? Guess who's coming back to take it all back? Jesus Christ, the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, that's who! His Word is the proliferating fire shut up in the bones of those who feel the intensity and profundity of this esteemed hour of time! Be not deceived, Oh ye who doubt, the Word of God Has come to pass, Is coming to pass, and Will come to pass ... a showdown is coming to the Valley!
"Hear my prayer, O LORD, listen to my cry for help; be not
deaf to my weeping. For I dwell with you as an alien, a
stranger, as all my fathers were."
(Psalm 39:12)
We are occupants of a world which is not our home; our home lies beyond the stars, a land purchased for the redeemed, paid for with lamb's blood, and with a King's throne holding a scarred Savior, who rules heaven by the law of perpetuity, Jesus Christ our Lord! Those humans who think they rule the world, do not! The Lord of all creation has already said to them, "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the world?"
What is on the mind of God? ISRAEL! Don't touch His land; don't touch His people; don't touch His promises; and don't touch His Word concerning the "apple of His eye." We're on the home stretch, children of God, and we have a hope ... this life in earth is not all there is! Just a little longer, and we will dip our tired weary feet in the eternal, cool rivers of life; we'll stroll down streets of gold with just men made perfect; and first, above all, we will bow before the ONE who is Lord, Creator, and Judge ... and we will have no reason to recall the events which occurred at the "Valley Where God Will Judge."
