A prophetic type of Esther warning America
The
visit of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could very well
have extraordinary prophetic impact on America. In Zechariah 12 and 13,
the Lord is speaking of "in that day" which is the Day of the Lord when
he has returned and is setting things right on earth. The Lord says in
12:9 "I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against
Jerusalem." Since Israel was reborn in 1948, the US has been its
staunchest ally. That has changed with the current White House.
Netanyahu's visit to the US during Purim this week may be a significant
prophetic warning to America against the US "president's" support of a
nuclear Iran.
In
Zechariah, both the nations of the world who come against Jerusalem and
many in Jerusalem will experience the wrath of the Lord.
Notwithstanding, Zechariah 12:10 says, "And I will pour upon the house
of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and
of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced,
and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall
be in bitterness for him, as on that is in bitterness for his
firstborn." The Lord uses similar language in Isaiah, Revelation and
Ezekiel 38-39. The import of Netanyahu's visit could may be a warning to
America of what is to come if she remains on her current path of
supporting Iran's nuclear intentions.
The
significance of this visit falling during the feast of Purim also has
prophetic implications. Purim commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish
people from destruction at the hands of an evil servant of the King of
Persia. The historic account is found in the book of Esther. Netanyahu's
visit to America is to block the US "president's" support of Iran's
development of nuclear technology, which inevitably will be used for
building a nuclear bomb. Iran's leadership has repeatedly said that it
aims to wipe Israel off the map. In essence, Netanyahu's modern day
mission is similar to that of Esther's ancient one--to foil the plan of
the King of Persia's (Iran) evil servant (the US "president") to
annihilate Israel.
This
White House has been excusing Iran's nuclear development since it took
office. On May 5, 2009, then White House Chief of Staff Rham Emanuel
said, "Israel now faces a moment of truth--it can either acquiesce to
international demands and in return have its most serious threats dealt
with, or maintain the status quo and have those threats persist."
Emanuel was saying that the White House would ignore Iran's nuclear
threat, if Israel did not buckle to demands over a Palestinian state. In
his June 4, 2009 speech in Cairo, the "president" said, "No single
nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons. . .
And any nation--including Iran--should have the right to access peaceful
nuclear power if it complies with its responsibilities under the
nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty."
The
"president" is of Islam--born and raised. He knows that the "peace of
Islam" means bringing all nations into submission to Islam. That is the
genesis of Iran"s (modern day Persia) campaign for "peaceful" nuclear
use. Netanyahu's visit to the US to plead for Israel's well-being during
the week of Purim should be a prophetic warning to all who have eyes to
see and ears to hear.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
