The gathering of Israel. Written 2017

Two hundred years ago, people familiar with Bible prophecy would have not been able to conceive how the Jews long scattered from Palestine and the land then controlled by Muslims and the Ottoman Empire, could ever possibly be gathered back to their promised land, as is not only obsessively prophesied, but covenanted to the House Of Israel and specifically Judah’s (Jews) scattered remnants and ultimately (the full promise) to those who convert to the Lord’s church around the 2nd Coming.

How could God bring the Jews back to the land covenanted to Abraham, Issac and Jacob (Israel) and their seed? How could the Isrealite religion now distorted and carried on by scattered Jews around the world, and specifically, in Europe, ever just waltz right in there? The Ottoman Empire (Caliphate) controlled the Middle East and was an over 600 year empire, and before that other Islamic Empires controlled the Middle East going back to Muhammad.

Even if it collapsed, how would the Lord be able to stir the Jews enough to want to go back to Palestine and Jerusalem, a land now dominated by Muslims and held sacred by them, and to which they won in the Crusades? Money, family unity, having lived for many centuries in mostly Europe and so many other surmounting obstacles. Only divine appointment and power could overcome and move such obstacles.

How would God fulfill prophecies and ready the world for the 2nd coming of the Savior, since all these major prophecies must occur for the Lord’s work to be accomplished and the 2nd coming to be ushered in? No one could have conceived how God would do it, even the truest believers.

World War One was paramount in parting the waters for that remnant of Israel (Judah) to begin to return-their preliminary, but miraculous, physical gathering before they are eventually gathered unto Christ under the restored gospel covenant, which is the prophesied Restoration of all things and the Restoration and gathering of all the twelve tribes of Israel. An over six-hundred year empire collapsed and France and Great Britain took control of the land (thus why you see it now without a caliphate -other than Isis-and so extremely divided up the way it is).

I would note that not even the crusades brought such a result. Here, the West, with all it’s advanced technology and modernization was able to overcome the Middle East in that facet of World War One. That providential outpouring of science and technology upon the West- another well timed necessity in the Lord fulfilling many of His purposes. After all, durng the Dark Ages, if one had to bet on who would conquer the world, lands and be far more advanced it would have been the East. The Comeback (of the West) was literally the hand of Divine Providence, as step by step, one transformation, Reformation, New World Rediscovery and Revolution (the American was the greatest politcial revolution in history) after another, lead to the founding of the United States and the Restoration of the Lord’s kingdom in this nation, in preparation for the 2nd Coming.

The Zionist movement (the idea to someday gather back to their promised land) started in the late 1700 hundreds. So a movement had swept many of the Jews and Gentiles in preparation for these events and being gathered back. France and Great Britain talked about establishing a homeland before World War One for the Jews in Palestine. Many things were percolating and lining up like stars.

But more had to be done and it had to be done quickly, to coincide with these other events. After World War One and the collapse of the Ottomans, enter Stalin and Hitler. Two of the rarest and most evil leaders we have known, with a knack for slaughtering Jews. Hitler’s very ideology by default would help push the Jews back to the Holy Land, after all the slaughter and destruction, that so seared in the hearts of the Jewish people like never before, a desire for a home and nation of their own. Hitler hated them as had those infected by his poison. How many white political parties have we known that singled out other whites in such a manner, because they were Jews and carried out such massacres, and this just happened right after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire? With the collapse of the Ottoman Empire came these other necessities so well timed and ordered. For example, imagine Hitler rising way before the collapse of the Ottomans or fifty years after and so many other things that were ordered and timed in such a way that was to the benefit of the eventual set up of the nation of Israel.

Much could be said about the U.S. role in all of this and defeating Germany and the Axis powers, from which America more fully rose to superpower status, while other great powers fell. I believe it’s not coincidence that after almost two thousand years and the Jews finally beginning to gather back to Palestine, the utterly miraculous American Revolution and rise of the U.S. took place not too long before that (keep in mind — two thousand years) and was and still is central to the support of the Jewish state and the stability of the world-to the extent we have it. With these God ordained events came an outpouring (particularly spiritual, as the Lord restored His ancient covenants and the one thing all history is centered on-the Restoration of the church and it’s sequel-the 2nd Coming) of knowledge the likes the world has never seen. America is a land chosen above all other lands and God has great purposes for it.

To the point I want to make. Most people are unaware of just how rapidly the Lord has sped things up in the last one hundred and even two hundred years. It’s earth shattering! It is the hand of God and nothing short of it! We actually have a Jewish nation and democracy in the middle east which is extremely strong and prosperous. The stage is set for Armageddon and many more prophecies to be fulfilled, such as the ultimate gathering of the “Elect Jews…” into Christ’s church and the gathering of Israel worldwide and all that entails.

If all this was done in the last hundred years, what will God do in the next thirty? He will do FAR more than we think He will as He speeds things up for the preparation of His 2nd Coming and Millennial Reign, and the coming out of obscurity of His church and kingdom. Do not doubt what the Lord can do! Do not doubt how he can manipulate events by even small and simple things. Do not doubt what is about to happen and that it’s all centered on the Restoration and 2nd coming, the one thing we should all desire above all others, in terms of where this world is heading and the battles taking place.

My main emphasis here is to show how the Lord used these events to further His purposes and for the gathering of Israel. The gospel had to be restored in a free land which God raised up and gain a solid foundation, and all else connected with the gathering of Israel and an elect people for the 2nd Coming of the Lord. The U.S also helped spread freedom and served as a model for governments seeking to reform and modernize. That very freedom, which many nations had never known (take British Empire and Church of England) was crucial to the gospel program and the gathering of the elect worldwide.

Freedom keeps winning (as we so epically and recently saw in the collaspe of the USSR), but now that we are as wicked as we are in the West and in the U.S. particularly (as more has been given, more is expected, but even more importantly, the future plans the Lord has for this land in building the New Jerusalem and bringing His kingdom forth) we are going to see transformations that will leave us all shell shocked beyond imagination. The kingdom of God has taken root. It’s foundation is strong. There isn’t as much a need for the current order to exist as it now stands (which order, as attested above, was a long series of miraculous events designed to prop up the prophesied kingdom to be preached in all the world before the end of time), especially when a humbling of humblings is so desperately needed and a cleansing and opening of the way for the Holy City in Independence Missouri.

The Lord will continue to protect much of our freedom, but not without a modern day scolding of divine proportions and much blood shed. Too many are making politics their god even of my faith who profess Zion but know nothing about it other than trite talking points and who should be concerned with saving souls and strengthening the “saints” — which is the kingdom — and the faith of those around them. The Lord will find a way to preserve the necessary elements for the gospel program to go forth, but in no way does that include the continuance of an earthly and wicked government and nation that has reached astounding, Sodom and Gumorah levels of evil.

I would also add many nations need to be opened for the general preaching of the truth in those lands. China is one of them. So a lot of worldwide transformation is coming and just as both world wars miraculously brought to pass His purposes, so will whatever other calamtities await us.
