Christians who study the Bible are all too aware of what is written in the book of Ezekiel, especially regarding the “End Times” or the “End of Days” written about in Chapters 38 and 39, which describe the nations of the world, led by Iran and Russia, and their End Time attack on Israel.
Ezekiel is a famous book on this subject.
As it pertains to Israel, it is a well-known fact that God Himself extinguished the nation of Israel some 2,000 years ago, and the overwhelming consensus as to why God did this is because of Israel’s refusal to believe in Jesus Christ as God’s one and only begotten Son; The Messiah.
I could go into how this (the non-existence of Israel as a nation) was also prophesied until the “time of the Gentiles is fulfilled” (Luke 21:24), or how the Israelites missed Jesus as the Messiah because of the long-held belief that the Messiah would overthrow the Roman occupation of Israel and deliver and restore her as a nation when He came the first time. His coming did not look like what they thought it would, and so, they missed Him.
But I won’t.
I could explain how an entire nation missed the Messiah because they believed what they were told through generations of folklore and tradition, which had misinterpreted God’s prophecies. They, God’s chosen nation, had missed the Messiah! And this led to the end of the Israel nation for 2,000 years!
That’s huge.
I could go into how this fact has had a profound personal effect on me and how, when it comes to End-Time beliefs about prophecies I am very skeptical about traditional beliefs; how I am vehemently opposed to believing something simply because others do; how I am vehemently opposed to believing something because someone else says to.
No.
As I said in my book, “Plumb Line – Holding Current Events in America Up to God’s Word,” you really shouldn’t believe something just because others do. Do your own research. Use your critical thinking skills. And as a standard practice, look at the original source documents.
Now comes the modern-day world, and the current events taking place in Israel.
There are a billion different viewpoints within the church about this. Are we in the End Times? Are we seeing the End Time war against Israel that is described in Ezekiel 38?
In the weeks following the heinous Hamas terrorist attacks against innocent Israelis, I heard one famous Christian pastor/speaker say, “No. The October 7th attacks on Israel were not the attack described in Ezekiel 38…and we know this because the whole world has not turned against Israel as the prophecies state. I mean, Joe Biden has said the United States strongly supports Israel. They’ve sent three warships to sit off the coast in the Mediterranean. I mean, come on.”
As soon as I heard those words come out of his mouth, I knew he was disillusioned as to exactly who he, and the nation of Israel, are dealing with when it comes to JB. I knew this current illegitimate U.S. regime – no matter what they say with their mouths – would not support Israel. In fact, it was immediately apparent that their policies had caused the attacks directly (the Chiden regime, like the Obama regime, love Iran and support her financially (with yours and mine tax dollars), and their core beliefs are much more aligned with Iran than they are with Israel. They are evildoers and they love everything that is unholy. And if you didn’t know that about them as of October 6th, you weren’t going to know it afterward. And so, when friends would try to tell me: “But we’re supporting Israel and the entire world isn’t against them so this can’t be the end-time turning described in Ezekiel 38,” I would say in response, “Just wait!”
Last week the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s Defense Minister as well as Hamas leader, Yahya Sinwar.

Talk about Moral Equivalency! This is disgusting! Shame on you, ICC! Who in the world do you think you are?
And As the World Turns against Israel and the battle intensifies, you should know one thing: God is on Israel’s side. Any nation that does not support her is going against God and He will not stand for it this time. He is going to come into the picture and deliver her. And at that time – the End Times which we are so close to – it won’t be good for any nation that opposes Israel or Him.
So beware, America. Beware, Christians. The Bible is very clear on this subject. There is not one word of ambiguity that has ever come out of God’s mouth about this. None!
Ezekiel 38:10-16
10 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On that day thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil scheme. 11 You will say, “I will invade a land of unwalled villages (a land unprotected); I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people—all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. 12 I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land.” 13 Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all her villages will say to you, “Have you come to plunder? Have you gathered your hordes to loot, to carry off silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods and to seize much plunder?”’
14 “Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? 15 You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. 16 You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, Gog, I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I am proved holy through you before their eyes.”
Now, I can go into the numerous End Time Scriptures about God’s reinstatement of Israel as a nation in 1948, (i.e.: in a single day as prophesied about in Isaiah 66:8), which had to come to fruition before these End Time Scriptures could also come about, but that’s not the point I want to make.
I want to make the point that As the World Turns against Israel, including the United States under its current communist regime, God will not bless, but rather curse, everything we do.
He says so in Scripture, also.
(Genesis 12:3; Deuteronomy 30:7; Numbers 24:9; Jeremiah 30:20)
You have to be a true unbeliever to go against Israel at this time.
Make no mistake about that.
Everything They Do There is Defiled
Haggai 2:14
14 Then Haggai said, “‘So it is with this people and this nation in my sight,’ declares the Lord. ‘Whatever they do and whatever they offer there is defiled.
Right now, JB’s $320 million pier has broken apart from the ship that was putting it in place, and then that section of the pier ran aground and got stuck. And then the ship that was assembling the pier ran aground and got stuck.
And in addition to these blunders, the UN trucks carrying aid to the Palestinian civilians – which the entire world is screaming about, especially the United Nations – have completely stopped, due to the incessant and violent looting. The UN stopped its own aid trucks from Rafah as well as those poised to carry aid from this man-made port, because the trucks have been getting violently attacked and looted.
And the most common hypothesis is that the aid-carrying trucks are being looted and attacked by Hamas. Hamas does not want the aid to go to the people; they want to seize it and sell it and keep the returns to fund more terror.
I mean, these are barbaric, non-humans. Bloodthirsty savages. And yet, the ungodly world supports them. The Biden administration supports them.
Good job.
And the Lord is not pleased with any of it.
You know, Palestinians – God’s Son, Jesus Christ, died for you, too. And you are faced with a choice: you can either side with the One Who loved you enough to take torture and death for your sins, or you can side with those who have brainwashed you (Hamas and the Palestinian Authority) to believe that you own the land and Israel and God are bad.
It’s not that difficult to see who is good and who is evil here.
And to the unbelieving, ungodly world system; the U.N. and the nations supporting the side of evil: you can see it, too. You know who is right and who is wrong here. And in the end, you will have no excuse for your hideous actions.
No one will come to save you then. He already did and you missed Him.
By the way, has the Mainstream News reported on why the only border port-of-access between Gaza and Egypt remains closed?
Why isn’t the UN pressuring Egypt to open her border and allow the massive immigration of Palestinian refugees – whom the entire world is so concerned about – into their country?
The answer is: they have. But Egypt refuses to budge. She will not take them. Why? Because they are too radicalized; too brainwashed by their overlords: Hamas.
