Dear John and Dove Community:

There's been discussion for a long time over the "Jewish Question" - that is, are the folks who have been moving to the land of Israel since 1948 true Jews, coming in fulfillment of Ezekiel?  Are these really "God's Chosen People"?

OR

Are they usurpers?  Faux-Jews who are claiming the land, not under God's authority, but under the authority of the UN?  Are they the Rev. 2:9 "synagogue of Satan"?  Is this a hoax?

Well, this week we should find out.  If Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and perhaps others attack Israel, we should expect God to intervene powerfully and defend His chosen ones.  "And then they will know that I am the Lord," as it says multiple times in Ezekiel.

HOWEVER

If the attacks come and the Lord does NOT defend the Israelis or give the IDF a miraculous deliverance, it may be seen as the beginning of the fulfillment of Zechariah 13:8.  Perhaps the "times of the Gentiles" (Luke 21:24) have run out, two-thirds of the people in God's land are destroyed, and the remaining third is refined.

We should have a crystal clear answer in about a week.

Best,

Steve
