The Times of The Gentiles

Taken from Luke 21:24

The Jewish people controlled Jerusalem until 586 B.C. Then, according to Daniel 1:1, Nebuchadnezzar and his troops marched into the Holy City and took its inhabitants back as captives to Babylon. It is important to remember that this single historical event marked the beginning of what is known as “the times of the Gentiles.”

An important caveat was spoken by Jesus in Luke 21:24 when He said,

“And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”

The Messiah is Coming Says The Jews

An interesting thing is happening in Israel these days, the Jewish Rabbi’s are preaching the coming of The Messiah at any moment. Jews are discussing the issue in coffee shops, restaurants, stores all over the Land of Israel.

My contention is that if the Jews are seriously discussing this and they are serious about the topic, then how close might we really be to the return of The Messiah to earth?

Jews and The Messiah

Zechariah 22:10; Psalm 118:22-26 and Matthew 23:39

God is in the process of preparing the Jewish people to receive the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

As I watch, study and observe what the Jews in Israel are saying about the Messiah, I’m convinced that God is doing a special work in the hearts of his people!

I believe with all my heart that these scriptures that I have listed above are in the process of being fulfilled in this generation and that soon the hearts of the Jewish people will be ready to say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Have You Said Thank You Recently?

1 Chronicles 29:10 – Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said: “Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.

I was reading 1 Chronicles 29 today and verses 10-15 caught my attention and seemed to stand out.

I was thinking how thankful King David was and how expressive he was with his thanksgiving. This part of scripture is a commentary about a real person that lived over 3,000 years ago. He is a real King that had a kingdom in Israel and was full of excitement and thankfullness towards His God!

Prophecy Update: Israel and Syria

Today my sources contacted me to let me know that Israel has increased her defensive posture against Syria for the cross-border bomb attacks that have happened over the last few days.

We are not 100% sure what the outcome of this current soft-battle will be, however Israel will not sit by idly and just allow her citizens to be bombed indiscriminately.
