Hi Chance, Elliot, John and Doves,
Chance - like you, I enjoy Elliot Hong's letters to Doves. Elliot brings up so many different scenarios, dreams, visions etc. The one huge thing we are all missing is that we will all (watchmen) see That Day approaching. How? By watching Israel. The simple truth is that the rapture cannot happen before the resurrection of the dead in Christ. THAT happens first. We do not precede them. And, if we deep-think this profound truth, the resurrection of the dead in Christ will engender the most massive earthquake. Imagine, if you will, millions upon millions of the dead in Christ arising from their graves. Oh my golly gosh. The earthly eruption is going to be immense. We will be raptured soon after - in the blink of an eye.
It all hinges on what happens to Israel. Our prophetic time piece. That has never changed. We are grafted on the branches. Israel is the roots.
Which is why this assassination of Nasrallah is significant. Israel has stopped pandering to the USA and the powers that be. Israel is going it alone. Going by scripture - Israel will be triumphant in her battle against the Islamic Jihad. Thanks to Almighty God. He is showing Israel (the apple of His Eye) that He has their back. BUT - Israel is then urged to repent - to return to God - return to the Torah, in the bare-faced truth that her triumph is ALL down to Almighty God. Sadly- according to prophecy - Israel needs further smack-down. Further discipline. Therefore, Ezekiel 38 is permitted by Almighty God. To bring Israel to her knees in repentance - to return Israel to her Husband. Almighty God. This is going to take the slaughter of millions of Jews. The slaughter of millions and millions.
We WILL see THAT DAY approaching because of what prophecy teaches us about what will happen. And it all hinges on Israel. I find it an enormous dichotomy - longing for the return of our LORD and Saviour, Jesus Christ - yet knowing that it's going to mean the slaughter of millions of people. Unless Israel repents, in full, this is what the near future holds in store.
Please come soon, LORD Jesus.
