Israel today prophesied
updated 04-14-2011
This promise of God was most obvious in the Yom Kippur War in 1973. In this 2 week war a number of Arab nations tried again to overrun Israel with forces more than 10 times the numbers of Israel, while the Jews were all in the Synagogues celebrating their holiest of Holidays .
How else could a tiny nation, which is solemnly surrounded by hostile countries have won such an overwhelming victory, other than by the mighty hand of GOD Himself.
Never before in history has a nation disappeared from the map and
returned again nearly 2000 years later against all odds and against the
will and the forces of its immediate and remote neighbors.
From the first day on, when Israel let by Joshua entered the land of
Canaan ca. 1240 BC and settled there to form a nation state, the
Israelites were at war with its neighbors. Nothing has changed to this
day. Israel still has to fight the Palestinians (= Latin for Philistines) in the Gaza strip, Syria
(Assyria) to the north and other Arab tribes (Amorites, Moabites,
Amalekites etc.), which make up today's Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
This is just another prove how true the bible and its prophesies are.
Isa 11:12 He will raise a banner
for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the
scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth.
This prophesy has started to being fulfilled in the eighteen
hundreds, when the Jews started migrating to what would become a "new"
nation state in 1948 by UN mandate.
Isa 43:5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you;I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. Isa 43:6 I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
This prophesy was fulfilled down to the letter. The Jews started moving to Israel first from the east in the early 19 hundreds, then in the mid 19 hundreds they came from the west like the USA and Europe. In the 80s Russia allowed the Jews to move to Israel from the north. And finally in 1991 Jews were allowed to move from Ethiopia in the south to Israel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNhv0pA9E9Y
Isa 66:8 Who has ever heard of such a thing? Who has ever seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. The current nation of Israel was born in one day on May 14th 1948 !
Isa 11:14 They will swoop
down on the slopes of Philistia (Gaza)
to the west; together they will plunder the people to the east. They will
lay hands on Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be subject to them.
This prophesy became reality in the Six-Day War 1967.
Isa 14:1 The LORD will have
compassion on Jacob; once again HE will choose Israel and will settle
them in their own land. Aliens will join them and unite with the house of
Jacob. Isa 14:2 Nations will take them and bring them to their own
place.
Jer 23:3 “I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the
countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their
pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number.
Eze 36:24 “ ‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you
from all the countries and bring you back into your own land.
This prophesy started becoming reality in the 20th
century.
More prophecies for Israel:
Isa 54:15b whoever attacks you will surrender
to you.
Isa 54:17 no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute
every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of
the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the LORD.
Isa 27:6 In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and
blossom and fill all the world with fruit.
Isa 27:12 In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to
the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered up one by
one. Isa 27:13 And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who
were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come
and worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Dt 2:25 This very day I will begin to put the terror and fear of you on all the nations under heaven. They will hear reports of you and will tremble and be in anguish because of you.”

the whole chapter of Ezekiel 36
Eze 39:28 Then they will know that I am the LORD their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind.
Wealth:
Isa 60:5
In 1935 G.T.B. Davis wrote "One is almost staggered by the computed wealth of the chemical salts of the Dead Sea. It is estimated, that the potential value of the potash, bromine and other chemical salts of its waters is ... four times the wealth of the United States. Isaiah did not know this, but God who made the Dead Sea and planed history does.
Dt 33:19 ... they will feast on the abundance of the seas, on the treasures hidden in the sand.”
A huge gas field was discovered off shore
from Haifa early in 2009. Deep sea drilling to explore this gas field
has begun in 2010.
In 2010 a huge oil field was discovered in the northern part of Israel.
Later that year another oil field was discovered towards Gaza in the
Negev.
Future:
Am 9:11
This means that the Jewish temple (the
tabernacle of David) will be completely rebuilt.
Mic 4:2 Many nations will
come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the
house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may
walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD
from Jerusalem.
Jerusalem will one day
become the center of the world.
Another war of unprecedented magnitude will
be fought against Israel and God Himself will intervene to defend His
people. This war is still in the future and prophesied in Ezekiel
chapters 38.
... a great horde .... Persia, Cush
and Put .... also Gomer with all his troops, and Beth Togarmah from the
far north with all its troops - the many nations ... advancing like a
storm ... In that day, when MY people Israel are living in safety ....
you will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations
with you ... a mighty army. You will advance against my people Israel
like a cloud that covers the land ... at that time there shall be a
great earthquake in the land of Israel ..... I will pour down torrents
of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on
the many nations with him. And so I will show my greatness and my
holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations.
Then they will know that I am the Lord.
This last big war will most
likely be a nuclear war as we can read out of the following clean up:
Eze 39:12
