http://www.timesofisrael.com/iran-vows-to-attack-israel-from-west-bank/  Have you taken the time to study the books of Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Daniel?  All prophecy leads to faith in God, as He foretold everything which must certainly and shortly come to pass.  These circumstances mimic Biblical Prophecy regarding the national players in the Middle East, even those who will remain on the sidelines, (Us).  God remains on the throne and it is written that “all things serve the Lord God”, including the enemies of Israel.  Have faith and please pray for peace.

Am I praying for peace in Jerusalem, for God’s continued protection of Israel?  You know that He is going to protect them whether or not we intercede through prayer, right?  You get it right that Israel has always been at the foundation of God’s plan for humanity, because He made a “covenant” promise to them?  For those who would negate, ignore, minimize or fail to comprehend His devotion to them, I ask, what then is our salvation based upon but a “covenant” promise?

The enemy has mustered the soldier hearts set against the things of God.  Even now, Israel is physically, spiritual and logistically surrounded by those who would see their ruin.  New secret arms and support deals are being agreed to whittle away at Israel’s defenses, subjecting their people to increasing fears and their government to greater responsibility for aggressive action.  Who of us for a moment may look upon scripture, seeing the things to come and fail to equate our current circumstances with unfolding prophecy?  To look away now is deny the power of God’s Living Word, His prophetic warnings and that small quiet voice in the back of your head, telling you the “time” is near.  What will you be found doing when that “time” arrives?  I pray that we all be found, doing the work for harvest by spreading the Good News of the Gospel and interceding through prayer for Israel and the rest of humanity.

Won’t you join me in dedicating this day to service to Almighty God?  Is there a chance you can make a difference right now in the lives of those who may not have heard or understood the Good News of Christ?  Won’t you make a difference today and tell one person, whether family, friend, acquaintance or stranger, about His sacrifice for our salvation?  Come close to Him and He will come close to you.  Remind someone how much He loves them before the opportunity to do so expires.  Pray for peace in Jerusalem, for that will be the day after Christ steps foot on the Mount of Olives.  The Lord be praised this and every day of eternity to come.  In Jesus Name.
