THE ROLE TO ESTABLISH ISRAEL IN THE LAST DAYS

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com

WOW! Do we know in 2016 there were 33,000 distinct denominations? It is estimated by 2025 there will be 55,000 denominations? Wow? You can’t get along with others? Just go out and start your own?

C.H. Spurgeon penned the words: The time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have CLOWNS entertaining the goats.

WE MUST LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR THIS LESSON. GOD IS NOT CAUGHT OFF-GUARD. GOD HAS A PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION AND BEYOND THE END OF TIME… GOD HAS A PLAN… HIS PLAN IS MADE UP OF PROMISES… HEAR THE FIRST PROMISE GOD GAVE…

The first promise of the Bible is powerful and prophetic. The promise has a gift… God would love the world so much that he would give his only son. God knew man would fall and sin would destroy perfection. Jesus would come as the “SEED” of woman to restore the plan.

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Man sold “THE KEYS” of authority that God had given to Adam and Eve in the garden. Have you ever had a stone bruise on the bottom of your foot? They are very painful. This speaks of battle of the persecution of the saints and of suffering. The bruise hurts, it may bring difficulty--- it does not bring to an end. The promise reaches far from total destruction. The first promise of God to fallen man and the church is Jesus will be victorious. This storm, this suffering, this temptation, this problem, this trial, this valley will RELEASE JESUS, GOD’S PLAN, and we will be over comers.

We must know God’s PROMISE and BY FAITH KNOW AND TRUST THE PLAN OF GOD. Now we walk in the last days and we must TRUST GOD’S PLAN WORKS FROM THE FALL UNTIL THE CLOCK SHALL NEVER TICK AGAIN.

NOW LET US WALK THROUGH TIME TO THE SECOND PROMISE GOD HAS FOR HIS PEOPLE. GOD KNEW THE NEED TO KEEP TRUTH TRUE AND TO BRING ABOUT A HOLY AND PURE RELATIONSHIP IN PURITY. GOD NEEDED TO SEPARATE HIS PEOPLE FROM THE WORLD’S SYSTEMS. THERE IS A TIME TO GET UP…

ABRAM/ABRAHAM WAS NOT A YOUNG MAN WHEN GOD SPEAKS HIS SECOND PROMISE. Abram was already 80? Abram was smart enough to not GIVE GOD AN OFFERING OF EXCUSES… Abraham did not know he had 100 more years?

Spell Good? Spell God? Spell Gospel? ---- GO starts every one of them.

Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

THE LORD GOD SAID: GET UP AND GO… God’s plan is you can’t stay here? You can’t always stay in your comfort zone? GOD CHARGES A MAN AND HIS WIFE… GOD IS REALLY CHARGING A NATION THAT WILL BECOME A BIG PART OF GOD’S PLAN. He achieve God’s plan you must be willing to OBEY. This environment where you are living is not conducive to release the PLAN of GOD! To be blessed you must break the ties that bind and or you will limit your faith’s growth.

TO KNOW THE PLAN OF GOD WE MUST BE SEPARATED, A PECULIAR PEOPLE. WE ARE CALLED OUT… CALLED OUT TO BE OBEDIENT TO GOD’S TASK!!!

WE NEED TO BELIEVE GOD TO BE CALLED OUT, SET ASIDE, TO HEAR THE CALL OF GOD TO BE FAITHFUL, A PECULIAR PEOPLE…

1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

LARRY CARTER TAUGHT ME A GOOD LESSON ABOUT THE WORD PECULIAR. In Greek PECULIAR is made up of two words. 1. CIRCLE and 2. TO BE. God is the circle, we are to be the dot in the middle of the circle… We are to be the dot in the middle of the circle! WE ARE TO BE TOTALLY SUBMERGED. To be totally contained within the heart of God.

To illustrate this point of value consider a GLOVE. This GLOVE cost around $12.00 at the time it was purchased. The $12 GLOVE sold at auction for $60,000.00. Why? There was documents that proved this was the GLOVE that Michael Jackson wore, they could PROVE WHO IT BELONGED TO…

OK, take a cheap latex glove and put it on the hand of a brain surgeon? The action of the hand in the glove could be worth $100 K and save the life of a loved one… WILL WE GET UP AND ALLOW GOD TO MAKE US A PECULIAR PEOPLE?

It is about the PLAN OF GOD… GET UP AND DO… THE PROMISE LAND IS AHEAD. Will we be satisfied to CAMP on the other side of the promise?

GOD MADE A PROMISE TO NOT ONLY BLESS A MAN BUT TO BLESS A NATION… GOD’S PLAN IS CLEAR… WHOEVER BLESSES THIS GOD NATION SHALL BE BLESSED… There is more to the promise… WHOEVER CURSES THIS NATION OF GOD’S SEED WILL BE CURSED…

Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

SPAIN had welcomed the JEWISH PEOPLE. Spain the power house of the world for many years. In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue? Something else happened in history in 1492. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella issued an edict that all Jews were to be expelled from Spain. There was a religious war and the Catholics fear the Jews converting their people. The Jewish people were said to swallow gold, diamonds, pearls and the Spanish people would take knives and cut the Jews to find treasures. Spanish ship captains charged large sums of money to haul Jewish away from Spain. The captains would take their cargo out into the ocean and dump them to drown. IN 1492 THERE WAS A GREAT EXPULSION IN SPAIN. THE SPANISH JEWS. History notes Spain ruled the world and suddenly a great decline followed the EXPULSION OF JEWISH IN 1492.

GREAT BRITAIN WAS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF ISRAEL, THE SUN NEVER SET ON THE BRITISH RULE. WE WILL SEE BELOW HOW THE BALFOUR DECLARATION at the end of WW1 SUPPORTED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NATIONAL HOME FOR ISRAEL. Follow England as slowly their nation succumbed to the pressures of the cries from the middle-east and the world and they gently backed away from their strong stances for the establishment of Israel. As the support of a national home land slowly drained, the powerhouse of England was declined.

God made a clear promise to Abraham. I WILL BLESS--- I WILL CURSE. The hand of God’s blessings has rested on the USA because we have supported ISRAEL. There is a cry coming from some politicians to back away from ISRAEL.

Freshman congress woman RASHIDA TLAIB (42) became our first MUSLIM WOMAN IN CONGRESS, from Michigan. She calls herself progressive and is pushing us farther left. Rashida refused to swear in on the Bible. She wore a traditional Palestinian robe and swore in using a QUMRAN, the ISLAM'S HOLIEST TEXT. She cursed and profaned our President and called for impeachment. Rashida Tlaib is ANTI-SEMITIC. She called the JEWS SATANIC. She says the 6 million Jews killed in the Holocaust is an invention to claim support for Israel. She criticizes our governments as being controlled my Israel’s money. THE OPINION THAT IT APPEARS A PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL BE LEANING TO BECOME MORE STEADILY ANTI-SEMITIC. A PEW SURVEY SHOWS 27% OF DEMOCRATS SIDE WITH ISRAEL. IT IS ALMOST EQUAL NUMBERS OF DEMOCRATS SIDE WITH THE PALESTINIANS, AND THE LEFT WING DEMOCRATS ARE ALMOST 2 TO 1 PRO-PALESTINIAN. (USA TODAY)

UNDERSTAND THIS: DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS HAVE EVEN CALLED FOR ISRAEL TO BE ELIMINATED. (James S, Robbins)

Matthew 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass a

Mark 13:29 so ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

Luke 21:31 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.

Israel is on the southeast shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Israel is a small nation. Israel is Jewish democratic state.

While World War 1 was being fought, a British Foreign Secretary ARTHUR BALFOUR established that BALFOUR DECLARATION OF 1917 that England would back the call for a JEWISH NATIONAL HOME IN THE PALESTINIAN MANDATE.

After World War 2, Britain found itself in an internal and external struggle over Israel. There was a deep divide in the world opinions. So Britain dropped the great support for Israel. But the word of God was proven true and on MAY 14, 1948 ISRAEL WAS ESTABLISHED AS A NATION.

4 DAYS LATER THE ARAB ARMIES GATHER IN UNISON TO STOP ISRAEL… EGYPT, TRANS-JORDAN, IRAQ, AND SYRIA declared war to totally crush Israel. Soon other nations joined against the little new nation. YEMEN, MOROCCO, SAUDI ARABIA, SUDAN and the WAR OF 1948 TO DRIVE ISRAEL INTO THE SEA. THE ENEMIES AROSE TO SLAUGHTER ALL JEWS.

ISRAEL WAS ADMITTED INTO THE UNITED NATIONS ON MAY 11, 1949. The only way Israel could survive was to establish KIBBUTZIM COLLECTIVE FARMS, where the people worked together as teams to establish Israel as a state. By 1958 almost 2 million people had returned to ISRAEL. This was called ZIONISM, where Jewish from around the world felt a desire to move to Israel. They had never lived there, but the CALL OF THE HOMELAND WAS THERE.

The 1950’s saw frequent attacks on all sides. In MAY 1967 EGYPT REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ISRAEL AND ALL THE ARAB FORCES IN GREAT UNITY GATHERED TO DESTROY ISRAEL. I the SIX DAY WAR ISRAEL --- Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq and other nations backed by THE SOVIET UNION… ISRAEL WAS ABOUT TO DOUBLE ITS TERRITORY TO PROTECT THE SMALL NATION.

There was a MASSACRE OF ISRAELI ATHLETES AT THE 1972 OLYMPICS IN MUNICH, GERMANY.

October 1973 during the Israeli holiday of YOM KIPPUR --- EGYPT and SYRIA gathered in a SURPRISE ATTACK. Israeli forces had 2,500 soldiers killed. In this 20 day war 35,000 of the enemy was killed.

Iraq was a threat to the world and was building a NUCLEAR REACTOR WITH PLANS TO DESTROY ISRAEL. The world would take no action. ON JUNE 7, 1981 ISRAEL FLEW INTO BAGHDAD and utterly destroyed the NUCLEAR REACTOR.

1982 THE PLO… ATTACKS WITH MISSILE ATTACKS FROM THE NORTH in 6 days Israel destroys the PLO in Lebanon.

The Soviet Union (Russia) has provided thousands of SCUD MISSILES… Israel has developed what has been called the IRON DOME in defense.

TODAY around the world there grows this great hatred of ISRAEL and the JEWISH PEOPLE… we call this hatred. We call this ANTI-SEMITIC, the feeling or showing hostility or discrimination against JEWS. This is considered more than just racism.

Lebanon to north, Syria to northeast, Jordan to east, Saudi Arabia to the south, EGYPT to south west, Mediterranean Sea to the west,

Palestinian areas within on the West Bank and Gaza Strip in east and west..

To the southwest is Egypt.

Tel Aviv is technological center.

Jerusalem is the capital but the world has resisted to acknowledge this because the world only gives partial recognition.

God promised Israel to be established as a nation. Great Britain in the Balfour Declaration

The United Nations in 1947 internationalized Jerusalem and suggested to allow an ARAB and Jewish state. The Ahab nations refused to accept this plan.

So in 1948 there was an ARAH-ISRAEL WAR and the independent nation of Israel was established.

The world demanded GAZA and West Bank be retained.

There has been several wars since 1948 when Israel was attack by a coalition of nations.

The 6 day war in 1967. 2005 extended Israel’s claims to the Golan Heights and Gaza Strip on east not to the Jerusalem but West Bank.

Today 18% of Israel are MUSLIMS, 2% CHRISTIAN, 2% DRUZE, JEWS 57%, many claim no religious ties.

CONCLUSION: GOD PROMISED ISRAEL TO BE RE-ESTABLISHED AS A NATION, that dream is a reality. Prepare for the SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST? Are you ready? Are you getting others ready? Wish we would all be ready. 1948 is a warning. Each missile, each battle draws us closer.
