Reading Between the Lines

The enemy of our souls seeks the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people in a ridiculous attempt to thwart the plan of God.  From Haman to Hitler, there's been the attempt to "play both sides" of every conflict, to squash the Jews in the middle.  That playbook will continue right into the Great Tribulation, where the Antichrist will, on one hand, strengthen a peace treaty with Israel, and on the other, plot the desecration of the Third Temple and concentrate all military power on earth toward a final (failed) attempt destroy the Jews (the battle of Armageddon).  Ultimately it's against God by touching the apple of His eye, but He will tread the winepress.

Between now and the final conclusion, some geopolitical movements can be inferred from Bible Prophecy:

  • Russia will be drawn into a position of leading a coalition (including Iran and Turkey) against Israel.
  • Europe and the G7 nations (modern Roman empire) will be at the core of the Antichrist's rise to power.
  • Israel will be key in enabling the Antichrist's rise to power and will receive peace and the Third Temple in return.
  • The Antichrist will appear messianic to Israel, while plotting Israel's destruction.

With that in mind, let's take a look at what's going on right now, in this conflict between Hamas and Israel:

The seemingly contradictory postures by world powers brings up some questions in my mind:

  • What is the real motive behind this sudden panicked rush to move top U.S. military forces toward Israel?
    • Can we suddenly trust Biden to now be a true friend to Israel?
    • Are U.S. forces in the region to protect Israel or to keep Israel from feeling threatened by Iran and initiating a first-strike on Iran?  In other words, is the U.S. protecting Israel or Iran?
  • Is the World Government (i.e. U.N., E.U., NATO, G7) really siding with Israel or is there an ulterior motive?
    • The U.S. says it backs Israel, but gives Billions to Iran.  Russia says it has a special relationship with Israel, but they are allied with Iran and Russia is Iran's largest buyer of military equipment.
    • Is the Ukraine conflict really about reducing Russian global power or about coercing a Russian-lead attack on Israel?
    • Is a World Government emerging, with one hand supporting Israel, and with the other, aiding Israel's destruction?

What do you think?  It wouldn't be the first time the father of lies has tried this approach (but it may be his last).
