THE STEPS AHEAD
The Israeli Pathway is a busy one! We will soon encounter each of the major Signposts and intersections with every other Pathway. The steps until the mid-point of the Covenant are already clear:
ˇ Israel has been reborn in Eretz Yisrael,
ˇ her children -- cast to the four winds -- are returning home, most dramatically, Soviet Jewry (those held by "Gog") and Ethiopian Jewry (those held by "Cush"),
ˇshe is actively preparing for the reinstitution of Temple service,
ˇshe is being fitted for a diplomatic and economic noose by the forming European Empire, and
ˇshe is being increasingly pressured to enter into a Middle East Peace Covenant that will once again attempt to break the divine bond between the Land and the People of God.
At this late hour on God's timepiece, it should come as no surprise that even more distant steps on the Israeli Pathway are coming into view.
The steps which fall between the mid-point of the Covenant and the establishment of the Messianic Kingdom are appearing out of the mists of time.
These include:
ˇthe rise of anti-semitism on a world scale,
ˇJerusalem becoming
ˇthe seat of the Prince's kingdom and the site of his deification
ˇ"a cup of trembling [or reeling] unto ALL THE PEOPLES ROUND ABOUT..."74 -- the Arab nations are intoxicated with the thought of repossessing the City of God, and are prepared for war; allied first with Gog and then with the evil prince
ˇ"a burdensome stone FOR ALL PEOPLES; all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces..."75 -- Jerusalem is a diplomatic dilemma that all foreign ministers feel compelled to address and mishandle
ˇan international "outlaw" -- Jerusalem is consistently condemned by the world community; soon to face "Operation Armageddon"
ˇthe demand for fulfillment of the promise of the Messiah and the dream of the Messianic Kingdom becoming a tangible reality.
Israel's prophets, priests and kings longingly looked forward to the arrival of Messiah and the establishment of His Kingdom.
Think of them!
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah and all the other faithful servants of God who prayed that they might see His coming.
And by the evidence before us, it would appear that you and I will be the ones privileged to witness His return. We are truly a blessed generation!
We can see the hand of God moving in the most visible ways!
ˇHe has reestablished His people in their land.
ˇHe is regathering His people a second time from the four corners of the earth in the most dramatic ways.
ˇHe has ensured Israel's victory in battle.
ˇAnd now, He has renewed in the hearts of His people the hope of the Messianic promise.
There is electricity in the air!
The signs of Messiah's arrival are so numerous that the Promise is becoming tangible.
The coming of Messiah is no longer a dry doctrine or a repetitious prayer.
The voices of Jews and Christians are joined in prayerful petition that God complete His Messianic promises now.
As we soberly consider the sins which will be committed against God's People and His City between now and the beginning of the Messianic Kingdom, let us share in the song of David in Psalm 122:6, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem; they shall prosper who love thee."
Let us comfort ourselves in knowing that our God reigns -- now and throughout eternity!
