20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. Luke 21:20-22.
We know that war between Israel and Palestine ended in 1949 with Israel being the victor. (see:Israeli-Palestinian Conflict | Global Conflict )Tracker) However, they have been enemies every since then. Does the above scripture fulfill that warning?
God gave his people the land of Israel, and Palestine has tried to take it from them.But their wars are not over and there will come a time when the enemies of Israel will be surround them, once again. I believe this was a warning for them to go to the mountains of Judea and be safe there.
Since I am not a scholar or an expert in the matters between these countries, you may go to the above site if you wish to read more about their conflicts, including current events in 2020.
I have no doubt that there may be terrible things still to come until Jesus comes back. He had said in these words as well:
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to the m that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentile be fulfilled..
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Evil still does exist and will continue. We must be watching and praying. But also realizing that those that claim his name, will be saved, no matter what. That is the peace of God, that goes to us that passes all understanding.
There is a lot said about the end times in other places of the bible. I am going to stop here with it and go on to something else next time. You can find more about this subject by authors or teachers that are well more versed in end time prophesy then I am, if you wish. I suggest: Dr.David Jeremiah, Tim Lahaye, and David Wilkerson. You can purchase their books on Amazon.
If you chose not to get more information friends, just think on this. End of times. They are coming more rapidly then ever. And no one knows the day or the hour. Where will we be in the aftermath all evil. With God, or in hell? It is our choice. One not to be scoffed at or laughed about by people that think hell will be just a big party. Because, it won't be and it will be too late for those that didn't take seriously, what God says about it.
Tomorrow is a new day. And the start of something else here in my blog. I am not sure what. Come back to find out. Thanks for coming. God bless!
