  • Tsk, Tsk, Israel

    I don't have anything majorly dynamic or deep for this entry, just some thoughts I wanted to share concerning my thoughts on current events.

    I'm not completely up-to-date on what is going on in Gaza, and I'm listening to some back-filed podcasts I had downloaded from BBC News (back-filed, meaning, prior to the New Year).  Just listening to the interviews they're including in these 30 mins-long news briefs, it sounds like people are just mystified at the amount of effort that Israel is putting into attacking Gaza and Hamas.  Now, I won't say that I agree with it or disagree with it.  I'm of a different camp when it comes to world news.  I don't like war, and I don't like violence, but God uses all things for His perfect plan, so when things happen, I can't really argue against them.  I'm not saying that I think war is good, don't get me wrong at all.  I would hope for their to be peace on earth...but no peace will come on earth without Jesus returning. 

    This kind of action that Israel is doing right now is just the thing that will turn the rest of the world against them.  In ignoring the calls from surrounding nations and other powers in the world to stop the invasion (is it being called an invasion yet???) and military efforts against the Hamas, Israel is isolating themselves in such a way that I believe will usher in the end times.  When I was younger, even just a few years ago, I would get so annoyed by professors or pastors or other Christians who would get all keyed up and begin talking about the End Times.  But you cannot ignore what is happening in the world right now.  The Russian/Georgian mini-war last year, economic disaster across the globe, a weak president being voted into office in the States, and now this "conflict" in the Middle East...it's all building up to and heating up the earth for the final World War. 

    What I see when listening to the information coming from the ME, is that Israel will be seen as a rogue nation, and though, the super-powers won't be willing to take action against Israel, they will remove their support.  Israel will be by itself and then a country like Russia will see it's opportunity to strike down the tiny country.  The other powers in the world will wag their fingers at Russia for this behavior, but they won't step up and do anything to help Israel (US included).  Russia will attack, using all of their aerial forces, and miraclously, the entire force will be destroyed...without Israel firing a weapon.  After this, someone will step in and broker a peace deal for 7 years between Israel and the world.  It will happen.  Someone like Sarkozy will jump in (I'm not sure if it would be Sarkozy though...maybe...but probably not) and take over, leading the whole world into a 3 1/2 yr time of peace...but he will betray the world and specifically, Israel, after that time is over.

    I don't know...it's so interesting to feel like this.  It's like we've been shown the score of a football game, and been told some key plays, and now we're watching it actually take place.  But these are just my thoughts, and I'm sure others have said things similar to these and been wrong.  I just think it's all very, very interesting.  I don't claim to know the times though, just saying that these things are more than likely leading up to Biblical events prophesied so many years ago.
