"Jerusalem will be trampled by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." (Luke 21:24b)
Within the last 24 hours, another rocket was sent from Gaza into Israel. I hold Obama's anti-Israel and anti-Semitism responsible (be sure to read article on this accusation on the Blog Site). His bullying attempts have done nothing but embolden Israel's enemies. But Obama, Biden, and Clinton can connive and plot all they wish. Jerusalem is the Capitol City of Israel, more importantly, it is, "the City of the Great King, Jesus." Of course, to those who do not take the Bible seriously, then I confess, I'm a nut case. But I say to you, "God is not mocked." Israel's enemies can threaten, plot, and rattle sabers all they wish. King Jesus will have His Day!
Our text is from what Biblical scholars have called, "The Olivet Discourse." It is recorded in the Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. John did not have to speak of this in his Gospel account; the Holy Spirit was "saving" John for, "The Revelation of St. John the Divine." In our text, Jesus says that Jerusalem would indeed be "trodden down," or, "trampled under foot by the Gentiles...." But it would only be until, "the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." Those "times" are upon us.
I prophesy that in these days you and I will be increasingly pressed hard on our absolute commitment and loyalty to the "God-Breathed" Word. Events are rapidly occurring which will test whether the Bible, "The Words of God," is for us a religious addendum, or, "They are your life!" Far too many churchgoers are getting their "prophetic" news from Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and feel-good religious programing--------------- "whose end shall be according to their works."
I repeat myself, I admit it. But the thought occurred to me the other day, God has been repeating Himself for the last 2000 years. Every time I read through the Bible I find the Blessed Trinity saying the same Words over and over. Beware those who are always attempting to give you a "fresh word," or, "For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or hear some new thing." Personally, I have all I can handle in allowing the Holy Spirit to, "I will put My laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts." The hymn writer had it exactly, "What more can He say than to you He hath said?" !!
Father, in Jesus' Name, keep me in, "the faith of Jesus," and keep me vigilant. Amen.
