Quotes About Prophecy

Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39 God reveals to Israel eye-opening details about a future major invasion of Israel, after Israel's return to the land and re-establishment as a nation. The first end times peace treaty, like all of Israel's prior peace agreements, will be broken. Ezekiel reveals to us a number of specifics as to how Israel's first end times peace treaty will be breached. He even lists the identities of the nations that will seek to conquer, kill and destroy Israel.

God revealed this to Ezekiel as to the coalition of invading nations: "After many days you will be called to arms. In future years you will invade a land that has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from the nations, and now all of them live in safety." (Ezekiel 38:8).

When God revealed through Daniel (Daniel 2), that there would be four world empires, with the fourth empire coming in two phases, the last in the end times, He made no mention of the "hammer of the whole earth" reigning at the same time as the revived Roman Empire. Not there.

He had prayed for wisdom and skill in controlling what he knew was the most controversial part of their study. It was one thing, Scott knew, to study prophecies about a future powerful, wealthy and influential end times nation. It was quite another thing to conclude that the prophesied evil nation, the mother of abominations, was one's own country, and then decide to flee from it. Scott trusted that he was ready.

A LATTER DAY NATION "Behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land and a desert." (Jeremiah 50:12 (b) – KJV). It was only about 500 years ago that the new world was discovered by the 'civilized world'. And it's only been about 230 years since our founding fathers declared that we were a separate nation.

Since 9/11 what we have seen, and now increasingly understand in more depth than Christians in past generations, is that the final enemies of Jesus and of His people are not who we thought they would be. It may be surprising to learn that the future prophesied destroyers of the United States, and the purported conquerors of the world, pray regularly each day, prohibit abortion, denounce homosexuality, and forbid alcohol. Who are these people? Christian fundamentalists? Well, not quite.

Spiritually at that time the Lord tells us that He will "pour out My spirit on the house of Israel". (Ezekiel 39:29).

The Bible also affirms that in the end times God's people will be martyred by beheading. "And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands." (Revelation 20:4)

As we have seen from scripture, once Israel is at peace, Russia, Iran and their Muslim allies, will try to wipe out Israel, but God will miraculously intervene, with no help from Israel's military treaty partner, the Daughter of Babylon. The invaders will be destroyed, with destruction back in the homelands of Russia and Iran. Israel, though bloodied, will still stand (Ezekiel 38 and 39). So much for the first peace treaty.

there at that point in time, we read a shocking prophecy. No nation, Ezekiel tells us, will come to Israel's defense. None. . . thereby proving for the umpteenth time that Israel should not lean on man and man's promises, only on God and His promises.

The Quran spells out those five tenets: "It is not righteousness that ye turn your faces to the East and the West; but righteous is he who believes in Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Scripture and the prophets…" (Surah 2:177) Note that two of these five basic tenets deal with prophecy (The Last Day and the prophets). The reference in this verse from the Quran, to "scripture", is not to the Bible, incidentally, but to other Islamic writings.

in describing the "virgin Daughter of Babylon wrote: Keep on, then, with your magic spells and with your many sorceries, which you have labored at since childhood…Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you." (Isaiah 47:12-13)
