Who Lit the Middle East Fuse?

Lately the news from the Middle East has been interesting to say the least. A little revolt in the Muslim country of Tunisia turned into a tidal wave of revolts throughout the region. Egypt, which is about to lose its current government, is getting the biggest attention in all this.

Here's a prophecy that seems to relate to Egypt's dilemma:

The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.

And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.

And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.

(and the prophecy goes on and on)

So what's the big deal?

An organization known as the "Muslim Brotherhood" is set to take over, with the blessing of own President Obama, the middle eastern governments fallen to this revolt. What's worse is that the countries soon to be taken over by this Israel-hating organization have a current peace treaty with Israel. Once these governments are overturned, Israel has no friendly (or semi-friendly) neighbors in the region. Even America has turned its back on God's chosen people.

Hal Lindsey gives us a better explanation in his 2/4/2011 Report found at his site http://www.hallindsey.com/. I've included a small segment of his report below:






So why does any of this matter to us on the other side of the planet? Well, you probably know that nearly all Bible prophecy is centered on God's chosen people, the Jews. If we ever want to know where we are on God's prophetic map timeline, we only need to watch Israel. And why would this matter to America? A long, long time ago, in a land far, far away (but in this Galaxy and on our planet) the God of the Universe made a promise to Abraham. His promise was that He would bless those who bless him and He would curse those who curse him. And by the way, this promise was extended to the descendants of his son, Isaac, who we now know as the Jews. So, it's no wonder that nations who have supported Israel in the past, including the USA, have been blessed by God. So what do you suppose will happen to these nations, including the USA, who have turned their backs on Israel, hmmmm?

Well, anyway, I'm sure you the reader are a smart person who can figure out how our country stands on this issue. I mean really, all these birds falling dead from the sky dead, all these severe and unusually cold winter storms blanketing our nation, not to mention our economic woes - surely these must be coincidental, right? Hmmm.

PSALMS 122:6

I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's impossible to be a heaven-bound Christian without having a love for the Jews. When you become a true Christian, God grafts you into His people (Romans 11). No, we don't replace the Jews as some demonic teachings that have infiltrated our churches teach. And no, we don't become physical Jews. A Danish Christian is still Danish and a Cuban Christian is still Cuban. But we DO become spiritual Jews just like the Bible teaches (Romans 2:28-29). This is why we have a supernatural love for them. So let's do what the Bible tells us to and "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem."


And always remember:

Watch and Pray!
