Hi overcomer.
My spirit has been much exercised these past three weeks.
So…
On the eve of Israel entering full blown war with Hezbollah I thought the following may prove helpful to clarify matters.
(Especially if you have ever been confused, saddened or enraged by what is happening in the Middle East).
That said I must flag this in advance, this article may ruffle some feathers.
Because in this piece we will unveil who God’s two sons are.
Why?
Because GOD says He has two.
(Yes saint… this is controversial :)
Anyhow.
On to the Last Word on the Middle East.
Did you know…
That a song is actually the last word on the Middle East?
It’s true.
And it is called…
The Song of Moses
Remember too (strangely),
It’s a song that we Christians will sing.
The Book of Revelation…
“And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.”
Revelation 15: 1-4 KJV
Further also notice there are two songs we sing among the angels…
The Song of Moses.
The Song of the Lamb.
We can discuss the song of the Lamb later.
Now though,
Let’s be 100% clear.
In heaven…
Loud and clear, with triumphant accompaniment… the song of Moses will be sung big time by the saints.
“Er… okay Dave… so what?”
I will answer you with two questions…
What the heck is some ancient old hymn by Moses doing being sung in this ‘Christian’ praise meeting to honour God and His Son, the Lamb of God?
More important still—What is IN the song of Moses anyway? What lyrics will be sung on the sea of glass, accompanied by harps?
Well…
Here is the actual song that will be blasted across the whole of heaven against the backdrop of the bowls of wrath and plagues being poured out on the earth (Rev 15. Rev 16)
Note carefully the lyrics of this song…
“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying…
I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Exodus 15: 1- 21 KJV
Powerful song eh?
Yet by zooming out to Exodus even wider, allows us to see more clearly.
Which begs the question…
Why did GOD decimate the nation and slay all the firstborn of Egypt, including Pharaohs son back in the day?
I suggest overcomer…
That because as a concerned Father GOD saw,
Pharaoh and Egypt brutalising ‘His son.’
For He Himself says…
ISRAEL IS GODS SON*
“And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.”
Exodus 4:21-23 KJV
And WHEN exactly did GOD say this?
Oh yes…
That time He came and RESCUED ‘His son’ from the horrors of Egypt.
Which is exactly why all that stuff in Exodus above kicked off in the first place.
Okay, drawing all this together what does it all mean to Christians (and Gentile ones on the whole) like you and I?
Simple.
Messing with God’s son…
(I do not mean HIS SON JESUS this time. I mean Israel… His ‘other’ son).
Is a REALLY big deal.
As GOD says in Exodus 4:21 above His ‘firstborn’ is Israel.
Yet…
It get’s way deeper.
Flip ahead from Exodus thousands of years ahead right up to the eve of Armageddon (oh my… seems we are here already!)
We see this very same ‘repeating picture’ pop up!
And so very soon, it shall happen once more…
That when all the nations decide to ‘mess with God’s son’ again (ie Israel) GOD will act. He will not delay. He will step in big time.
And He will rescue him.
Yet…
How exactly will GOD rescue Israel?
He will send His OTHER SON, His Brother
The One whose Name is above all other names (Philippians 2:9)…
Yeshua Hamashiach to deliver Israel from all those nations attacking him.
Jesus will fight them from the Mount of Olives. How amazing :)
Yes, it’s true forever.
The Great GOD. Our Father in Heaven…
The only wise and true GOD will send His all conquering Son, Jesus Christ the saviour of the world. King of Kings. And Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
To rescue His other son and Jesus’s brother…
ISRAEL.
Here’s proof of what I claim…
“Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, [THIS MUST BE JESUS!]* which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
But it shall be one day which shall be known to the Lord, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance (Like the gold, silver, clothes Israel got when they left Egypt? Yup!)
And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, Holiness Unto The Lord; and the pots in the Lord's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts.
Zechariah 14 KJV (* My insertion)
So we see…
Indeed it is a very painful time for Israel. Half of Jerusalem shall be taken. (A very bitter chastisement for the ‘firstborn’ family of His chosen nation).
Yet, it’s all for a reason… to drive them back to GOD.
To turn them back to their Father so they call on Him to send the Messiah to come and save them.
Their ‘self strength’ gone they will have to turn back to GOD.
The GOD of Israel.
And so,
God will allow the enemies of Israel to get to the point of almost thinking they can destroy Israel at last.
UNTIL…
Just when all hope seems lost.
And it appears those ‘pesky’ Jews will finally get wiped off the pages of history. A people no more.
Then and only then, none other than…
JESUS! WILL COME AND DELIVER THEM
GOD has a plan. And it will not fail. It was already written thousands of years ago.
He will send His other Son… to rescue His very own brother… ISRAEL!
What a stunning turn of events!
So to finish things up dear one.
GOD never lies.
As you read yourself in Exodus, He says Israel is ‘My son.’
Do you think He will abandon His son to the wolves beginning to surround Israel even now?
If He did, what kind of Father would GOD be?
Not our Father in heaven for sure.
NEVER.
No.
Which is why dear saint…
The last word on the Middle East is a song.
The Song of Moses. For this song ties the judgements of the Book of Revelation back to the judgements GOD poured out on Egypt for afflicting His people.
To conclude…
Jesus came back from the dead not just to save you and I as Gentiles…
But so that at the end of time He will return and fight for His brethren… the JEWS.
He was, and is and always will be..
The King of the Jews.
Therefore…
Woe betide anyone who touches His soNS…
Which now, blessed one even includes YOU and me! How cool is that.
We are grafted into the commonwealth of Israel by the Blood of Jesus (Ephesians 2:12, Romans 11:17 :)
May the LORD open your understanding in all these things saint for they will shortly come to pass in the earth.
And it could even happen…
You see them with your own eyes.
May you know them before they come to pass.
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 8:32 NKJV
Bless you
Dave.
PS The LORD comes to judge the earth…
“And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.”
Zechariah 14:12 KJV
“Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”
Psalm 2 KJV
*ISRAEL IS GODS SON: Wayward. Fickle. Unruly. Rebellious (Ha ha, kind of like us ;)
Basically with a similar nature to Jacob, yet by the mysterious work only GOD can do in the human heart, the LORD will see to it that ‘Jacob’ shall be transformed into ISRAEL (A prince with GOD) and so… as Paul says “All ISRAEL shall be saved.”
“For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer [J-E-S-U-S!]*, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.”
Romans 11: 25,26 KJV
*My addition.
How cool a story is this?
God sends His Great Son… to rescue His wayward brother!
Kind of reminds you of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis eh? Lol… oh so it does, funny… I wonder if GOD is trying to tell us something?
Stay frosty saint.
The LORD has need of you.
Cracker Dave. One of your best.
