IF anyone is stupid enough to invade Israel. Our Father will smash them to pieces. Don't worry, Israel will be just fine. But the time is not yet I think. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!

Why Israel is wary of getting into another Gaza war
The Christian Science Monitor


By Joshua Mitnick Joshua Mitnick – Thu Mar 24, 2:05 pm ET

Tel Aviv – Fighting along the Israeli-Gaza border that has killed at least 11 people continued Thursday for the sixth-straight day, despite parallel pledges by Israel and Hamas to restore calm amid the worst violence since the 2009 Gaza war.

Israeli aircraft on Thursday fired on low-profile targets such as border smuggling tunnels, while Gaza militants launched mortars and homemade rockets into southern Israel. One rocket even struck within 16 miles of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.

Still, with both governments facing wary populaces, it appears unlikely for now that the violence will quickly escalate into a full-blown war. Gazans still blame Hamas for escalating the deadly war two years ago. And Israeli officials – despite absorbing a week of rocket attacks and yesterday's Jerusalem bombing that killed one person and injured 30 – find the idea of a broad offensive unappealing at a time when the peace process is moribund and the region is awash in protests.

"The whole Middle East is topsy turvy, and nothing is clear," says Zalman Shoval, a former Israeli ambassador to the US. "Although the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has nothing to do with the unrest that goes all the way from Morocco to Afghanistan, it would not be an advisable step for Israel to give in to the provocations of factors like the Islamic jihad, which would very much want to put Israel in the center."

The pressure is onPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel must act prudently and responsibly to preserve a calm that has been a "blessing" for Israelis. Still, the pressure is still on him.

Time will tell.

God says he puts hooks in the jaws of gog and his armies and leads them into Israel to their destruction.

Ezek 38: 4And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

And, Israel is really dismayed at the invasion:

Joel 2: 6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

Can you be more specific with the verses? Joel 1:what?, Joe 2:what?, Matthew 24:what?

Sure. I quoted from Joel 1 in the OP. Joel 1 shows that this is a Springtime thing.

(There's more than just this, though. Other scripture speaks of the same event)

Jesus said the tribulation is over before the 6th seal, when the sun and moon darken, stars fall and there is an earthquake.

Matt 24:29Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:


Look at what is happening at that moment in time in Joel 2:

Joel 2


1Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. 10The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining


Therefore, the reason the great tribulation that began with Israel's desolation is cut short or else no one would survive is because of this massive invasion. The last trumpet and the gathering of God's people occurs at this moment as well. The antichrist and false prophet arise after it occurs and the elect of Israel are on earth (but protected according to Revelation 9 and Revelation 12) to witness those false miracles.


15Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: 16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.



The massive invasion is described in Ezekiel 38, Rev 12 (flood), Isaiah 17, and in Jeremiah.

The invasion occurs at the time of the 5th/6th seal and the destruction of the invaders is the first thing that occurs in the 7th seal wrath of God on the Day of the Lord, namely the hail, fire and blood that falls from the sky.

Ezek 38:

16And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. (wrath begins)
19For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.


Compare to 1st trumpet of 7th seal, remembering that they are invading during the 5th and 6th seals:

Rev 8:7The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

It think it's odd that Christians would reject the Word of God and say it's irrelevant, don't you, Christian?

I don't reject the Word. I reject certain interpretations of it. :cool:

I did. As I said, the comment was self-explanatory...at least to most people.
I assure you, the problem does not lie with my comprehension ability.


Do you really believe Israel would bomb Iran for fun...good times for all?
Beats me, you're the one bringing up Israel bombing people with absolutely no context. How am I supposed to know what you mean?

A). No. I don't consider Glen Beck to be part of the "news programs" that are to keep us abreast of world affairs. He does tell us much, much more than they do. They spend time on Charlie Sheen and Lindsey Lohan while he tells us of the workings of Soros, Obama, Sunstein, William Ayers, Van Jones, Trumpka, etc., etc., etc. The many that hate capitalism and will do all they can to bring "change." Change to socialism, communism, marxism. Change to a really God-less nation. Sound good yet?
If there were any evidence for it, beyond the ravings of a lunatic with a blackboard, sure.

B). We could start by not being disrespectful to Netanyahu when he comes to the White House. We could stand with them against the Muslim nations. You know...carry a big stick and let them know we can and will use it. Sort of like the verse in the Kenny Chesney song, "Boys of Fall." "When you mess with one man, you've got us all."
So first of all, how was Netanyahu "disrespected" at the Whitehouse. Second, the US is currently at war in 2 predominantly Muslim nations, with a third on the way. How many Muslim nations would you like to be at war with, exactly?

C). Google Samantha Power (Ms. Sunstein) and learn about her views on Israel. She's advising Obama.


.
You're the one telling the story, I'm not going to do your research for you. Thats not how intelligent discourse works.

Or when Beck makes an outrageous claim with absolutely no backing (other than picking letters out of people's names on his blackboard to spell "evil communist") does he tell you to do the research to back his arguments up?

Actually... that would make sense.

Beck; "Outrageous claim"
Shiftless audience member; "That sounds sort of far fetched, any evidence to support that claim Glenn ol' buddy ol' pal?"
Beck; "There certainly is, but I havn't got time to tell you about it, so you can look it up yourself"
S.A.M; "Hmmm, sounds like hard work, I guess I'll just take Glenn's word on it."

God says he puts hooks in the jaws of gog and his armies and leads them into Israel to their destruction.


I love your passion and your zeal sister, but step back a moment and look at what you have posted. You posted from Ezekiel 38 about Gog. Ask yourself, "Who is Gog?" Then you have to ask "Who is Meshech and Tubal?" When you do, you will find the answer that there is no movement in that quarter at this time. Yes God WILL put hooks into Gog's mouth and bring him forth, but look at the people who are coming with him. Persia(Iran) is dealing with revolution and civil war right now. Phut(Libya) We see what is happening there. They can't join Gog now. Gomer, Togarmah of the North, they have their own problems sister. No, I believe your timing is just a bit off for Gog. I don't think this spring is the time. I do believe you are on time about what is going to happen based on Joel and Ezekiel. Be encouraged. We will patiently wait and see. It will not be this spring. The prophecy will be fullfilled to the letter. Join us on the Keturah's Children thread. Lets find out who these people are. The names have changed with time, but God does not recognize the changes. It is an interesting study if you are interested.

What about Russia? Does Russia, Iran, Libya, Eithiopia, together with many other nations have an army that could invade Israel?
I don't know if you've seen much news lately, But Libya and Ethiopia sort of have other stuff going on at the moment, and neither of them have particularly spectacular land forces.

Ethiopia is also predominantly Christian, so why they'd be keen to get involved in an Islamic attack on Israel, I'm at an utter loss.

Ditto Russia, actually. The largest religious group in Russia is Russian Orthodox, I can't see them lining up to invade Israel either. Why would the Russians want to invade Israel anyway?

The Iranians, well, they DO have a significant ground Army. But do you know where Iran is? Do you know what's between Iran and Israel? Little place called "Iraq". The Iraqis and the Iranians don't get on very well. You think the Iraqis are likely to let the Iranians roll an invasion army across their sovereign territory? You think the Coalition forces in Iraq are likely to let the Iranians roll an invasion Army across Iraqi territory?
The ONLY reason Putin would've made the "crusade" comment is to stir up the muslim world which is already unhinged in regards to Israel.
Soooo... he'd be doing that if his intention were to invade Israel because...?

So the end of the world is next week? Threads in this forum claim the end of the world is imminent constantly =:yawn1:

One that comes to mind is how the U.S. was supposed to be wracked by an apocalyptic earthquake "very soon". It has been a few weeks now. And lets not forget the FEMA concentration camps that were supposed to come along with swine flu.

Thank you for your encouragement. You may very well be correct that this is not the year. We will know for certain by Passover.

What I mean by that is that if Christ comes on the clouds during the Feast of Trumpets, then we are gone by Passover just over 3 1/2 years prior to that time. (notice, day and hour still unknown)

Make no mistake, Scripturally, both the invasion of Israel that begins the time of wrath and the rapture that occurs at that same time are Springtime events based on Joel 1 and 2 as well as Song of Solomon 2.

Bu the way, I get the impression that the massive invasion is a bit of an overwhelming force, perhaps even surprise to Israel and the rest of the world because in Ezek 38 the rest of the world is sitting around, questioning what that invading force is up to instead of stepping in to protect Israel - sounds like what Obama and the UN would do if someone invaded Israel right now.

Ezek 38: 13Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

Because hey, its not like the Israelis would notice the Russians and Iranians bringing millions of tonnes of military equipment across unfriendly countries to park it outside their border in preparation or anything.

It looks like it will be kind of low-tech which is the muslim terrorist modus operandi these days.


Ezek 38:4And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 7Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

Well make your mind up, a minute ago you were talking about Russia and Ethiopia, now you're talking about Muslim terrorists. Which is it?
