WHEN GOD’S FURY DEFENDS ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM
THE MAIN REASON THE HEAVENLY FATHER DESTROYS “GOG AND MAGOG” IS HIS DEFENSE OF ISRAEL AND THE PROMISES TO ISRAEL OF THEIR GLORIOUS FUTURE. The word, “Israel,” is repeated in the Holy Bible 2,303 times. The word Jerusalem is named 767 times. Both of these two major objects of God’s love have several other names that are not reflected in the two primary names. The promises of God to never break His covenant with Israel has such a presence in Scripture that to think otherwise requires disbelief. God loves His chosen people and His chosen Capital for them, Jerusalem.
All the way back to the Torah written by Moses, Israel was God’s delight. God spoke these words to Moses. “The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Know therefore that the LORD thy God, He is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations.” (Deut. 7: 7-9) A thousand generations is a powerful proof that God’s covenant with the Jews has no end. They are His chosen people forever. The Bride of Christ that will inherit the city of New Jerusalem is certainly on a perfect level with His earthly family.
The Promise of God to gather Israel out of the Nations in the last days or latter days literally floods the writing of the prophets. To Hosea. He said, “I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him. I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.” (Hosea 14:4-7) Then in Ezekiel He promised, “For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.” (Ezekiel 36:24) What breathtaking assurance the nation of Israel has for their future.
We cannot forget Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. “For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.” (Isaiah 62:1-4) The future of Jerusalem is one of the Scripture’s most powerful prophecies. There cannot be a future Jerusalem without the family of Israel to dwell and rejoice in its greatness. This city is the center of God’s earth and will be absolutely majestic in the coming Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
Apostle Paul was careful to take all of God’s First Testament truths and translate them into the future. First he asks a question. “I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying…” (Romans 11: 1-2) Then the Apostle to the Gentiles is careful to show the Gentiles how we must treat Israel. “I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?” (Romans 11:11-15) This could not be plainer. Israel’s future is as bright as the sunshine.
The Salvation of all Israel will set the glory of the coming Kingdom of Jesus Christ. “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” (Romans 11:26-29)
Jerusalem will be tossed in political debate and divided by warring fashion until God’s time to finish the Gentiles era. The Holy Ghost spoke by Jesus Christ and was recorded by Apostle Luke, He was speaking of Jerusalem. “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 Gentiles be fulfilled. 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; 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. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” (Saint Luke 21:24-27) The glory of Israel and Jerusalem is likely one of the greatest moments for the everlasting Kingdom of Jesus Christ. It started with a thousand years and then extends to eternity.
