I couldn't have said it better myself!
One of the recurring
themes of the last days, as foretold by the Hebrew prophets and confirmed by
the Book of Revelation, is the international isolation of Israel. From a
Bavarian court to the U.S. State Department, South Africa to Charlotte, North
Carolina, we are seeing evidence of this in this week's headlines. (Well,
actually, that's not exactly true. We don't read about Israel's growing
isolation in the headlines because the Mainstream Media refuses to report it.)
In fact, the prophet Zechariah says that, eventually, all of the nations of the
world will gather together against Israel. They'll do so over the issue of who
controls Jerusalem.
In its 3,000 year history, Jerusalem, which, ironically, means "City of
Peace," has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, and attacked 52
times. Just since the nation's rebirth in 1948, Jerusalem has felt the impact
of four major wars. Why? It has none of the usual assets that cause great
cities to rise. It has no seaport, no natural wealth, no particular strategic
military value. The ancient trade routes from Egypt to Assyria, Babylon, and
Persia ran north and south along the plateau of Jordan, bypassing Jerusalem to
the east.
During centuries of occupation by the Muslims, Jerusalem was a dusty, backwater
city so unimportant that it never even achieved the status of a regional or
provincial capital. Yet, despite 2,000 years of mediocrity and desolation,
Jerusalem is now the most contended-for city on the face of the earth.
Prophecy and God's End-Time Program Are Still Moving Forward Very Quickly!
