In the Days of These Kings (Part 2, Jewish Migration)

 And in the days of these kings the God of Heaven

will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed… 

(Daniel 2:44)

See the series here

When the Russia - Ukraine war began, I naturally wondered how The Lord might use it to facilitate His many promises to (a) draw most Jews worldwide to Israel prior to the great tribulation, per Isiah 26:20-21, and then (b) draw all remaining Jews who are not yet in Israel after the start of His Millennial Reign (just after His Armageddon victory), per Isaiah 49: 15-26 and 60. Though many Jews may not be God-rejecting, most reject Jesus as their Messiah and The Lord. Yet He predicts “…they will look on Me Whom they pierced…”, then weep and mourn like krazy, shocked at how, for so many generations, they and their ancestors so staunchly dis-believed He is their promised Messiah.  (Zechariah 12:10-14)

In an interview on the National Public Radio (NPR) program, The World, a French reporter in Jerusalem said Israel is anticipating and making plans for upwards of 100,000 Jewish immigrants from Ukraine and Russia. This immigration has now begun.  

In my earlier wondering, I was too focused on possible immigration only from Ukraine, after seeing reports that, in 2021, Ukraine had only a relatively small remaining population of Jews. Jewish populations across Europe have reduced significantly in the past couple of decades, in part, due to anti-Jewish racism. 

Israel reportedly will allow immigrants, who may not qualify for citizenship, to remain there for only 3 years. But like me, can you  imagine The Lord possibly OVERRIDING that plan, by triggering events whereby all Jews in Israel, STAY IN ISRAEL, e.g., ahead of His very clear, shocking promise to over-flow the nation's borders, spilling into neighboring countries, per Zechariah 10:9-10?

I will sow them among the peoples (done!), and they shall remember Me in far countries (done!).They shall live, together with their children, and they shall return. (underway since May 1948!) I will also bring them back from the land of Egypt, and gather them from Assyria. (modern Eurasia) I will bring them into the land of Gilead (in northern Jordan) and Lebanon, until no more room is found for them. (pending, so stay tuned!)

The economic collapse and corruption in Lebanon, coupled with fallout from the huge fertilizer warehouse explosion in August 2020, is reportedly triggering significant out-migration and brain-drain. So I wonder... could this possibly be laying the groundwork for the predicted influx of Jews ...from all over the world. This promise is a part of a series of massive, group protective events He has promised to perform across the (seven) millennia of humans on Earth. I have summarized these fascinating events in The Goshen Effect (Series).

To learn what I suspect could possibly be the major trigger for The Lord's predicted, huge, hasty rush to Israel, see The Coming Lame Blame (Poem).To learn about The Lord two predicted promise land invasions during, and then at the end of the great tribulation, see Booty, Pre/Post Millennial Reign (Series).The end result is laid out in Amos 9:9-10 and Zephaniah 3:9-13.

O Lord, please hasten Your promise that, 

'As in the days when you (Israel) came out of the land of Egypt, I will show them (the whole world) wonders.'  

The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might. They shall put their hand over their mouth. Their ears shall be deaf. They shall lick the dust like a serpent. They shall crawl from their holes like snakes of the Earth. They shall be afraid of The Lord our God, and shall fear because of You. (Micah 7:15-17)

Christians, stay alert, shun lukewarmness and apostasy, and stay prayed up as we keep looking up, for our redemption draws nigh.

Gog and Magog (Q&A)

See the Q&A Series here

Q: Why do you believe gog and magog are demon spirits rather than people or nations?

 

A: In short, my belief is the result of perceiving The Bible as Heaven’s spiritual, strategic warfare manual for humanity, in general, and for The Lord’s ‘righteous elect’, in particular. ¹ It is so much more than ‘just a religious book’ that’s packed full of stories of ancient times.

 

Background: God, through and for Jesus, created mankind as spirit, soul and body. ² Though our physical body will decay and die, The Bible reveals our spirit and soul are our immortal essence that one day will be assigned an immortal/eternal human body. He created us to be (reign as) gods/lords of Earth following a cataclysmic event that occurred in Heaven when Lucifer led a third of all angels in an attempted coup d’etat. They failed, were cast out of Heaven, and landed on Earth. They were present to witness the creation and inauguration of man as Earth’s gods/lords. Lucifer, who was transformed into satan, deceived Eve to sin (disobey The Lord), and Adam followed suit, though he was not deceived. In doing so, he abdicated his designated role, and satan legally became the god/lord of this world. This explains the steady deterioration in the spiritual quality of life since Eden.

 

In Genesis 3:15, The Lord signaled to satan that the war he initiated in Heaven would continue over and upon Earth for several millennia, and would be transacted through mankind. Later, He signaled this war would conclude in blazing glory for all who are righteous, and in a fiery lake for all others, including all demons who would be forever assigned immortal, human bodies – spirit, soul and body. ³

 

Opposing spiritual forces are thus arrayed to influence human beings. The greatest accomplishment of demonic spirits has been to convince most of us that they and Heaven’s holy agents, do not exist. Apostle Paul confirmed demonic spirits are arrayed ‘in heavenly places’, generally regarded as the second heaven - between Earth’s atmosphere and the third heaven noted in 2 Corinthians 12:2. A few Bible verses indicate these spirits are assigned over geographic regions of Earth. ⁴ Other verses demonstrate spirit forces, both good and evil, achieve their influence over humans via the imaginations of our heart/spirit, imaginations we are easily prone to act out, physically. ⁵

 

A perfect example of The Lord’s perspective view of this is presented in Ezekiel 28. In the midst of upbraiding the wicked King of Tyre, The Lord, through the prophet, addresses Lucifer/satan, the king’s motivating spirit.

 

Within this broad context, Bible references to gog and magog, whether to people or lands/nations with those names, are about wicked motivating spirits, because THIS is ultimately what The Lord is concerned about in the unfolding spiritual war that continues to rage through us humans.

Physically, the 66 ‘books’ of The Bible were written over several millennia by an untold number of Jewish scribes. Spiritually, it is best perceived, read and studied as one book, guided by One Mind – The Mind of Jesus Christ. His presence across its pages and ages, is easily perceived by born-again citizens of Heaven. Paul refers to this as the hidden, yet revealed mystery of Father God, in Jesus Christ, The Lord God, in us (born-again Christ followers). Because revelations therein are released over time, line-upon line, precept-upon-precept, here a little, there a little (per Isaiah 28), it may be best to give our greatest attention to the final mention of topics we study. In this regard, I believe it would be erroneous to interpret the final reference to Gog and Magog, in Revelation 20:7-8, literally as the names of two men, or worse yet, ALL ‘the nations in the four corners of the Earth’. Rather, the inference seems clear that, by then, ALL nations will be strongly under the deceptive influence of these two demon spirits. Per Ezekiel 38, they might be the demonic forces currently influencing events in ‘the land in the far north’ (presumably of Israel). It seems clear they will someday successfully motivate the final war in human history, the post-Millennial Reign age. ^6. Strategically, to me this signals a ‘significant promotion’ for these two, powerfully-deceptive demon spirits! (Selah…)

Uppermost, The Bible is to be read with a spiritual mindset, not a carnal mindset.

For Readers in Russia…

Hello Readers in Russia.

Since the start of this blog in 2011, Google reports a significant proportion of page views have been from within Russia -- the second largest after the U.S. Whether these reports represent people or bots, I do not know, though it is clear people manage bots.

At this extremely pivotal time in world history (vis-a-vis the Ukraine - Russia war), I believe it is helpful to clarify and simplify the strategic message I perceive, and have been writing about, from relevant prophetic verses in The Bible, just in case it may have been missed by some. If possible, I encourage you to please share this message among your fellow citizens who may have a heart to perceive, understand and a be motivated to pray in earnest.

Please take time to read, ponder and meditate on:

—Ezekiel 38 and 39 to see The Lord's predictions about the nation ‘in the far north’, presumably of Israel, and about Gog and Magog, deceiving demons, apparently assigned over this nation that one day, in the not-too-distant future, will trigger an large military attack  against Israel (the 1st War of Gog and Magog) with the help of four other nations. The Lord will use this attack to usher in His long-promised Millennial Reign. It may well be, and I suspect is likely that these spirits (fallen angels) may be so-assigned today over Russia. Daniel and Paul have given us key insights into how satan's spiritual kingdom is geographically arrayed (perhaps per nation or territory) in and above Earth's exosphere.

—Zechariah 12:9 and 14:3-19 to see The Lord's clear, stark predictions about these five nations that will have triggered the massive attack against Israel. Reading these verses in context of each other, indicates a small remnant population will be left in each nation to facilitate A Forced Reconciliation between them and Israel.

—Revelation 20:7-10 to see The Lord’s incredible prediction about an apparent promotion Gog and Magog will receive from satan, to deceive the WHOLE WORLD, possibly based on their successful works over their ...previously assigned nation/territory ...in the far north.

Dear readers, may The Lord let these, His clear, promised Truths, open our spiritual eyes to perceive …what’s really going on in Russia, Ukraine, the so-called 'west', and the world at large.

Grateful for your help in sharing this message ...widely.

Blessings~
