Then You Will Know that I Am the Lord | Bible Prophecy Blog

Image via WikipediaI may be offline for a few days. So I thought I would leave you all with some news they may or may not help clear some things up. I saw this post and though it was decent enough to share with you all. Know the signs of the times. Even if you don't agree. Some key points here are very good to know.
We live in a crazy world. Maybe its time we need to hope to go with it. That Hope is Jesus Christ.

That Was Then, This Is Now

But beginning in Ezekiel 36, after Nebuchadnezzar had taken the Jews to Babylon and burned Jerusalem to the ground, the Lord began using the phrase in a different way. He said the restoration of Israel in the latter days would be the way He would show both Israel and the nations of our day that He is the Lord.

Although the Lord’s promise of restoration was partially fulfilled during the time between Israel’s return from Babylon and the Lord’s first coming, the language in chapters 36 and following make it clear Ezekiel was speaking of the time preceding the Second Coming. Here are some examples.

Speaking to the mountains of Israel, the Lord said.

“No longer will I make you hear the taunts of the nations, and no longer will you suffer the scorn of the peoples or cause your nation to fall, declares the Sovereign LORD” (Ezek. 36:15).

Obviously Israel fell to the Romans after their return from Babylon.

‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms” (Ezekiel 37: 21-22).

During the time of their captivity the Jews were held in Babylon, and they were the ones who resettled the land afterward. There was no official regathering from all the nations as Ezekiel prophesied will take place after the Gog Magog battle (
Ezekiel 39:28
).


Also, prior to the first coming the promised land had been divided among various members of the Herod family and Rome. It was not a single entity with a single king.


Here’s How You Will Know

Each step along the way to Israel’s complete restoration is meant to be a sign to show both Israel and the nations that God is the Lord. Each of these signs is identified by some form of the phrase “You will know that I am the Lord” and there are ten of them.


In effect He was saying, “You will know that I am the Lord,

1. When I settle people in the land and they become fruitful and prosperous (Ezekiel 36:11)
2. When I show Myself holy through Israel before the eyes of the nations (Ezekiel 36:23)
3. When I have rebuilt what was destroyed and replanted what was desolate (Ezekiel 36:36)
4. When I fill the rebuilt cities with people (Ezekiel 36:38).
5. When I bring back to life a people long dead (Ezekiel 37:6)
6. When I open their graves and bring My people up from them (Ezekiel 37:13)
7. When I put My spirit in them and settle them in their own land (Ezekiel 37:14)
8. When My sanctuary stands among them forever (Ezekiel 37:28)
9. When I defeat the Gog Magog coalition (Ezekiel 38:23)
10. When I have finished calling My people back to Israel, not leaving any behind” (Ezekiel 39:28).

 Now here is a bit of hope for those who will listen. 

Mark 16

http://nasb.scripturetext.com/mark/16.htm

The Disciples Commissioned
      14Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 17“These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”       19So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.]

The Rapture Report - New Israeli Natural Gas Find May Have Prophetic Implications

New Israeli Natural Gas Find May Have Prophetic Implications
Written: 12-29-2010
Rapture Forum Staff: Chris
In a news article today it is being reported that a new found natural gas field found offshore of Israel is the largest natural gas find in the history of Israel. This new natural gas field has the potential to make Israel an exporter of natural gas. This recent discovery could play a role in the future prophetic scenario of Ezekiel 38-39. The Jerusalem Post is reporting:

The natural gas reserves in the Leviathan structure total 16 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, based on preliminary results of the production tests received in the past few days. This was same amount estimated from a recent 3D seismic survey. The quantity found is double the gas reserves at Tamar. The results were reported Wednesday by Noble Energy Inc., which owns 39.66% of the prospect.
According to Noble Energy, "The well encountered a minimum of 220 feet (67 meters) of net natural gas pay in several subsalt Miocene intervals. Apparent reservoir quality is very good, and the intervals discovered are geologically similar to those intersected at Tamar." Noble Energy CEO Charles Davidson said, "Leviathan is the latest major discovery for Noble Energy and is easily the largest exploration discovery in our history."
As we can see in these verses and from the rest of Ezekiel 38-39, the Russian led invasion will center around a wealthy and prosperous Israeli state. Since the re-birth of the state of Israel in 1948, Israel has slowly but surely improved itself economically despite it's small size. The country has survived numerous Islamic attempts to wipe it off the map, yet still remains just as God has foretold. The interesting thing is that for the first time Israel has the opportunity with the discovery of oil and natural gas offshore to break the ceiling and become a mighty financial state. This coupled with the break down of peace talks with the Palestinians and international community may finally convince the Russians and surrounding Islamic countries to finally make a move on Israel militarily as Ezekiel foretold thousands of years ago.

Ezekiel 38 - 39 The Gog Magog War

Image via Wikipedia

As each day that passes in new articles and media, we tend to see many becoming very hateful towards Israel. Just like they were so much against the Jewish in Hitlers time. As this hatred continues and wars, rockets, bombs and suicidal tendency bombers, who don't deserve to be called Martyrs are growing at a very rapid rate.
Countries of all sides of Israel are looking for war with Israel. For those that don't know any better. ALL this was predicted over 2500 years ago.

In a time no other than when the Jewish come back home to the land of Israel, all this brings a time of war that people seem to be ignoring today. Maybe it's the scales over their eyes. Maybe God has already put the hooks into their jaws preparing for the Day of the Lord, or maybe. People just won't take the time to read.
Watch these and know what is to come. This could very well be in our very lifetime.

clipped from www.youtube.com http://www.BeginLiving.com - The prophecies in Ezekiel 38 & 39 were written over 2,500 years ago. They detail an attempted surprise attack on the nation of Israel. As if torn from today's headlines, these passages detail who is involved, what they will do, why they will do it and how they will be defeated. See also Ezekiel 39: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1vICE... More info: http://www.prophecytube.com/articles/... "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3 "For God so loved the world, that He have His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18 "and he gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man." John 5:27 "I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12 "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins." John 8:23,24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death." John 8:51 "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" John 11:25,26 "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me." John 14:6

Netanyahu: Ezekiel 37 fulfilled

Image via Wikipedia

"The Ezekiel 38, 39 scenario - that's the Gog and Magog invasion of Israel, where they, being Russia, Iran and some other nations, descend on her to seize her wealth," the Olive Tree Ministries founder mentions.

clipped from www.onenewsnow.com The leader of a Messianic Jewish ministry is pleased that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently proclaimed the fulfillment of the prophecy in Ezekiel, Chapter 37. Netanyahu said, "Armed with the Jewish spirit, the justice of man, and the vision of the prophets, we sprouted new branches and grew deep roots. Dry bones became covered with flesh, a spirit filled them, and they lived and stood on their own feet." Jan Markell, founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries, comments that Netanyahu's statement helps debunk the idea that modern Israel is just a secular country with no connection to ancient biblical prophecy. "There is a degree of spirituality in Israel, recently with this Benjamin Netanyahu saying that Ezekiel 37 is now fulfilled," she notes. "So I'm encouraged when the top leader in the nation of Israel comes out and stands up for the Bible. This is absolutely tremendously good news."
