"A Birth that Changed The World"

“‘Who has ever seen or heard of anything as strange as this?

Has a nation ever been born in a single day? Has a

country ever come forth in a mere moment? But by

the time Jerusalem’s birth pains begin, the baby will be

born; the nation will come forth. Would I ever bring

this nation to the point of birth and then not deliver it?’

asks the Lord. ‘No! I would never keep this nation

from being born,’ says your God.”

Isaiah 66:8-9

God foretold long ago that after He brought His scattered people out from among the nations, in one single day, He would declare them to be a Nation.  This occurred on May 14, 1948.  It was after the horrors and very close extinction of the Jews in the Holocaust, the persecutions around the world, and enemies surrounding them, that the Jewish people gathered together in Israel and declared themselves a Nation in one day.  The Bible prophesied it would happen and it did!  The United States recognized Israel as a Nation that day and Israel's many victories in countless wars ever since have positioned them as a sovereign powerful Nation among all the other nations of the world.

“I will make Jerusalem and Judah like an intoxicating drink to all the nearby

 nations that send their armies to besiege Jerusalem. On that day I will make

Jerusalem a heavy stone, a burden for the world. None of the nations who

 try to lift it will escape unscathed.”

(Zechariah 12:2-3)

O, Nations, haven't you learned by now that you cannot come against Jerusalem without the onslaught of a form of "sudden destruction."  The majority of countries surrounding Israel have made it abundantly clear that they desire the destruction of Israel.  However, Almighty GOD has made it clear that Israel is His, and if you touch her, you touch Him, and if you touch Him in a warring fashion  ...  you get burned  ...

“Therefore, son of man, prophesy against Gog. Give him this message from

the Sovereign Lord: When my people are living in peace in their land, then you

will rouse yourself. You will come from your homeland in the distant north with

your vast cavalry and your mighty army, and you will cover the land like a cloud.

This will happen in the distant future. I will bring you against my land as everyone

 watches, and my holiness will be displayed by what happens to you.

Then all the  nations will know that I am the Lord.”

(Ezekiel 38:14-16)

The Holy Bible states that in the last days Russia, with a horde of nations led by Iran, will come against Israel to destroy her, but God  ...  I said, "But, GOD" has vowed He will make His presence known to the entire world in defense of His beloved Israel.  Hey, I don't care who you are, where you're from, or what you call yourself, your arms are too short to box with God! 

“Now learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its buds become tender and its leaves

 begin to sprout, you know without being told that summer is near. Just so, when

you see the events I’ve described beginning to happen, you can know his return is

 very near, right at the door. I assure you, this generation will not pass from the scene

 before all these things take place. Heaven and earth will disappear,

but my words will remain forever.”
(Matthew 24:32-35)

Why should you know this, and why is all of this important?  The Lord Jesus Christ told his disciples that the main sign of His soon return would be the restoration of Israel.  The fig tree Jesus referred to is Israel.  It has been over 65 years since Israel was declared a nation.  The Lord stated that the generation that saw the blooming of the fig tree would also see His coming.  So, what time is it?  It's time to prepare  ...   

   

Blow the trumpet in Zion, or Church, gather the harvest quickly, and Nations prepare ye the way of the Lord.  What?  Repent, be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receive the Holy Ghost and speak with tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.  Why?  WE are the generation that saw Israel bloom; WE are the generation who will see the fulfillment of all things; WE must be prepared  ...  for the Rapture of the Church  ...  He will catch His bride away in the air; read the Book of  I Thessalonians 4:16-18.

Keep your eyes on Israel and the wispy moonlit eastern sky; keep your ears tuned to the sound that will "catch you away;" keep your mind stayed on Jesus Christ; keep your heart pure and your body holy and acceptable in His sight; keep the Word hidden in your heart that you might not sin against Him; and keep in mind that all of this is happening because of "A Birth That Changed The World."
