​

​📜 The Prophecy of Israel / https://www.perplexity.ai/search/create-post-the-prophecy-of-is-0PJFoRYBSGyozZZ8HaPE_A#0 

​

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about...”
— Zechariah 12:2

​​​

The Bible’s prophetic roadmap for Israel—regathered, opposed, supernaturally defended, and redeemed—is unfolding today. As global (antisemitism) hostility surges and alliances shift, these ancient warnings demand attention.

​

​“Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.”
— Isaiah 46:10

​​

Many dismiss prophecy as myth or metaphor—but Israel’s modern rebirth, global opposition, and survival match the very pattern foretold by Scripture. God’s Word is not broken.

​

Israel stands at the center of global upheaval: from the October 7 Hamas massacre to daily Hezbollah rocket fire and ICC warrants against Israeli leaders. These events mirror the prophetic pattern of Psalm 83, Zechariah 12, and Ezekiel 38—foreshadowing the global siege of Jerusalem foretold by the prophets.

​​​​

1. Israel’s Regathering & Restoration

• Ezekiel 37:10–14 — The Valley of Dry Bones vision symbolizes both Israel’s national revival and spiritual awakening.

• Jeremiah 31:10 — “He that scattered Israel will gather him.”

• Isaiah 11:11–12 — A second regathering from around the world, fulfilled in 1948 with Israel’s rebirth—after nearly 2,000 years in exile.

 

➕ Modern Sign: Israel’s population grew from 806,000 in 1948 to 9.7 million today, with Jews returning from 100+ nations.

​​​

“And shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah...” — Isaiah 11:12

​​

2. The Coming War Against Israel (Gog & Magog)

• Ezekiel 38–39 — A coalition of nations—including Gog (interpreted by many as Russia), Persia (modern Iran), and allies—will launch a massive assault on Israel.

• Zechariah 12:2–3 — All nations will come against Jerusalem, but God Himself will defend His people.

• Psalm 83 — Describes a confederacy of neighboring enemies seeking Israel’s destruction—foreshadowing modern threats from groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.

​

A. Psalm 83: A Prelude?

Key Verses (Psalm 83:2-8):

"For behold, Your enemies make a tumult... They have said, ‘Come, let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.’... They have consulted together with one consent; they form a confederacy against You."​

​

A 1. The Psalm 83 Coalition: Ancient Names, Modern Players (2023–2025)

Psalm 83 lists ten historic enemies of Israel, now mirrored in modern Middle Eastern factions actively engaged in anti-Israel actions:

• Edom (Southern Jordan)
  • Modern: Radicalized Jordanian factions
  • Activity: Escalating anti-Israel protests; destabilizing Jordan-Israel border regions.

• Ishmaelites (Arabian Tribes)
  • Modern: Saudi Arabia / Gulf Arab states
  • Activity: Public diplomacy with Israel but covert funding of anti-Israel rhetoric and groups.

• Moab & Ammon (Central Jordan)
  • Modern: Palestinian factions / Jordanian unrest
  • Activity: Strained Israel–Jordan peace treaty; protests and cross-border tensions.

• Gebal (Lebanon)
  • Modern: Hezbollah strongholds
  • Activity: Daily rocket fire into Israel; major escalation since 2023 with Iranian weapons.

• Amalek (Bedouin / Sinai militants)
  • Modern: Sinai Bedouin militants (ISIS affiliates)
  • Activity: Cross-border attacks from the Sinai targeting Israel and Egypt.

• Philistia (Gaza)
  • Modern: Hamas
  • Activity: October 7, 2023 massacre; ongoing Gaza war; global anti-Israel protests echo their rhetoric.

• Tyre (Lebanon)
  • Modern: Hezbollah (Southern Lebanon)
  • Activity: Mobilizing 60,000+ rockets; threats of full-scale war against northern Israel.

• Assyria (Ancient Mesopotamia)
  • Modern: Syria & Iran-backed militias (incl. proxies in Iraq/Yemen)
  • Activity: Attacks on the Golan Heights; cross-border strikes directed by Iran.

​

A 2. Modern Parallels & Prophetic Fulfillment (2023–2025)

• Hamas (Philistia) — Psalm 83:4 ("Cut Israel off as a nation")
  • October 7, 2023: Deadliest assault since 1948, openly calling for Israel’s annihilation.
  • Gaza War: Triggered worldwide backlash and protests, echoing Zechariah 12:3’s “heavy stone.”

• Hezbollah (Tyre / Gebal) — Northern Front Threat
  • 60,000+ rockets positioned on Israel’s border; daily clashes since 2023.
  • Confirms Psalm 83’s picture of a unified confederacy.

• Iran (Persia / Assyria) — Axis of Resistance
  • Directing Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, and Syrian proxies.
  • Fits Ezekiel 38’s prophecy of Persia joining the northern confederation.

• Global Isolation of Israel
  • UN/ICC actions (2024–2025): Arrest warrants, sanctions, and global protests fulfill Zechariah 12:3’s “all nations” prophecy.
  • Growing campus anti-Zionism and worldwide boycotts signal escalating hostility.​

​

A 3. Outcome

• Israel’s victory could weaken these neighbors, creating a power vacuum for Ezekiel 38’s larger coalition (Russia/Iran/Turkey) to invade.

​

B. Ezekiel 38–39: Gog & Magog War​

• Coalition: Russia (Gog), Iran (Persia), Turkey, and allies attack Israel.

• Divine Intervention: God destroys them with:

  • Fire on Magog and "those who live securely in the coastlands" (Ezekiel 39:6),

  • Earthquakes, and confusion (Ezekiel 38:22–23).

• Purpose: "They will know that I am the Lord" (Ezekiel 39:6).

• Aftermath: Israel burns weapons for fuel (Ezekiel 39:9–10), suggesting this war occurs before or early in the Tribulation.

​

C. Zechariah 12:2–3: The Global Siege

• "All nations" eventually turn against Jerusalem in the last days.

• God’s Defense: "I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all peoples... all who lift it will be severely injured" (Zechariah 12:3).

• Timing: Likely aligns with Armageddon (Revelation 16:16), after Gog’s defeat.

​​​

“I will magnify Myself... and I will be known in the eyes of many nations...” — Ezekiel 38:23

​​​​

3. The Final Battle: Armageddon

• Zechariah 14:2–4 — The Lord returns to the Mount of Olives, intervening in the climactic global assault on Jerusalem.

• Revelation 16:16 — Armageddon: the nations gather for war against God’s people—but are defeated by Christ Himself.

• Revelation 19 — Jesus returns as King of Kings, destroying the armies of the beast and ushering in the millennial kingdom.

​​​

“Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations...” — Zechariah 14:3

​

4. Israel’s National Repentance & Salvation

• Zechariah 12:10 — Israel will finally recognize Jesus (Yeshua) as the pierced Messiah and mourn in deep repentance.

• Romans 11:25–26 — Paul declares that “all Israel shall be saved” when the full number of Gentiles comes in.

​

➕ The Fullness of the Gentiles & the Mystery of Israel’s Salvation

Romans 11:25–26 reveals a divine mystery: “blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved...”

​

This means that Israel’s national salvation is divinely timed to occur after the full number of Gentiles—non-Jews from every nation—have entered the Kingdom of God through faith in Jesus Christ.

​

The phrase “all Israel” refers not just to a believing remnant, but to the future national turning of Israel during the Great Tribulation, when they will finally recognize their Messiah, as foretold in Zechariah 12:10.

​

This mystery highlights the interwoven plan of redemption:
🔁 A partial hardening of Israel allowed salvation to spread to the nations,
➡️ But in the end, Israel will return to their God, fulfilling the promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

​

God’s covenant is not broken—His mercy will triumph, and His timing is perfect.

​

5. Global Opposition to Israel?

• Yes. Both Zechariah 12:3 and Revelation 16:14 confirm global hostility against Israel in the last days.

• Yet, God will defend Jerusalem:

  • Zechariah 12:8–9 — The Lord will strike the enemies of Israel.

  • This ends with the Messiah reigning from Jerusalem in the age to come.

​​​

“In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem...” — Zechariah 12:8

​​​

⚠️ A Final Warning: The Nations Are Aligning

Modern trends confirm what the prophets wrote:

• 📈 Antisemitism is surging globally. The Anti-Defamation League reported a 60% rise in attacks since 2020.

• 🛡️ Iran-Russia alliances have strengthened militarily and economically, resembling the Ezekiel 38 coalition.

• 🏛️ Global institutions increasingly isolate Israel while empowering regimes hostile to its existence.

​​​

✅ What You Can Do

The time is short. The Bible gives us clear steps to take in the face of these unfolding events:

• 📖 Study the Scriptures — “Study to shew thyself approved...” (2 Timothy 2:15)

• 🙏 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem — (Psalm 122:6)

• 📣 Share the warning — Urge others to recognize the signs and prepare spiritually.
