A SPECIAL HANUKKAH MESSAGE FROM ISRAEL

Caroline B. Glick is a Conservative commentator and Israeli Patriot. If you have not read the previous posts on The Controversy of Zion and Jacob’s Trouble which begin on Tuesday October 31, 2023 on this blog through November: https://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2023/10/

 Ms. Glick’s Hanukkah video is very important. She understands the serious consequences of the current conflict in Israel. It is a fight for survival of the Jewish people exactly as it was 2,135 years ago during the revolt of the Maccabees against the Greeks.

The Greeks were looking to wipe out the Jewish people and their God. There are many similarities today as the world is coalescing against the Jewish people. Her short video (29 minutes) is a must watch and here it is:  https://www.jns.org/the-maccabean-revolt-of-2023/

I also posted on the Maccabees revolt here in 2019: https://burningbush647.blogspot.com/2019/12/daniels-hanukkah-prophecy-historical.html

It is most important we understand that the war in Israel at this current time may be the beginning of sorrows for the world. The Controversy of Zion and Jacob’s Trouble is the 7 year tribulation period when the world will turn against the State of Israel, Jewish people, and the elect of Yeshua the Messiah (Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 21).

God’s “church” will be severely tested at this time. They will not be raptured out because the true “church” has been grafted into Israel (Romans 11) and will be purified and tested during that time.

I am not predicting that we are in the tribulation now. I am saying that this is the prelude to that time. We need to pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and understand the times:

 And of the sons of Issachar, two hundred chief men, who had understanding of the times and were wise to know what Israel ought to do; and all their brethren followed their word. 1 Chronicles 12.32

All these men of war, that could keep rank, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel; and likewise, all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king.  And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking, for their brethren had prepared for them. 1 Chronicles 12.38-29

Like these believers in the time of King David we will be called to serve our King Yeshua during the tribulation times. Now is the day of our preparation and training. We need to keep our eyes on Jerusalem and the events unfolding in Israel. A time of great tribulation upon the earth is coming. We are now in training for this time no matter how long this training period will be.

Understanding The Controversy of Zion and Jacob’s Trouble unlocks the mystery of the coming tribulation. Yeshua is preparing His Army of Believers for that coming Day of the Lord. Prepare!

It is slowly playing out before our eyes. We are to “occupy until I come,” Luke 19.11-27. He comes after the tribulation of those days:

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken, and then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with great power and glory. And he shall send his angels with a trumpet and a great voice, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matt 24.29-31

Our King is only coming once. He will be coming to save all Israel at that time. We are grafted into Israel (Eph 2.11-13). We will be part of the Great Tribulation. We, along with all Israel will be a testimony to the world during this terrible time. His glory will be revealed to the world by our testimony in that day.

As the British said during World War Two: Keep Calm and Carry On. Let’s all walk softly and follow our King one day at a time. He will call us when the time comes. Only the Father knows the day and hour. Amen!
