"The people of Israel feed on the wind; they chase after the east wind all day long. They multiply lies and violence; they make alliances with Assyria and cut deals with the Egyptians." (Hosea 12:1--- NLT)
I am not making up this "stuff." I read each day from 7 sections of the Bible, i.e., Psalms, Wisdom Books, Pentateuch/History, Major Prophets, Minor Prophets, Gospels, and Acts-Rev. When I read the "God-Breathed" Word and current news, I don't have to go looking for "material." It is just there, every day, everywhere.
I read a report today from the "World Tribune" that "Obama and his senior advisors wish to incrementally diminish US strategic cooperation with Israel" (I will send the article later). This would be the first time since the establishment of the modern State of Israel 61 years ago that an American President took such a position---------------------- and another step closer to Armageddon. It was inevitable.
In the final days of this present age, the Jews and Israel will have no friends in the earth. Jesus spoke in the Prophet Ezekiel a phrase which occurs nowhere else in Scripture, "then they will know that I am the Lord." This could be the reason Jesus will allow Israel's total abandonment by the nations, "then they will know...." Our text tells us that the Jews were making alliances and cutting deals with their enemies, and not only our text. The Word of God is full of warnings against unholy alliances, "Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, who trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but who do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the LORD!" Could the text also read, "Woe to those who rely on the might of the United States of America for help, whether Jew or non Jew?!"
There is a recurring phrase in the Bible which at the same time fills me with excitement and "the fear of the Lord." It's the phrase, "in that day." It almost always refers to the end of the present age and the return of King Jesus. But do not be afraid of "that Day." No matter where you live, what people group you are a part of; if Jesus Christ dwells in you and you in Him,
it will be said of you what the Lord God said of Noah, "and the LORD shut him in." Jesus is for you and me what the old timers used to call, "the Ark of Safety." And when the trumpet sounds, "when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired in all those who believe," you and I, as the old song goes, "will be there!"
Father, in Jesus' Name, I pray that my friend and I will "find mercy of [You] in that Day." Amen.
