Based on James 4:1-10
This scripture provides us the tools needed to resist the Devil and enjoy a life of empowerment from God through His Spirit and through humility.

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.”
“Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Today we learn that Israel has added a new dimension to their David’s Sling Missile Defense system. The missile defense system makes it possible for Israel to aggressively destroy incoming missiles from a distance of 90-125 miles away.
For a missile to travel 90-125 miles means Israel only has mere minutes to react and that’s where their multi-layered missile defense system comes into play.
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?
