The God of Zion in his return Israel will never be welcomed among the nations because of its people, who they are and what they stand for. The battle is a spiritual one. Do you believe your Bible? Jerusalem is to be permanently called Zion. That is when Jesus Christ, their messiah comes back as King to rule and reign from Jerusalem, the city of Zion. That is what God has said. First he commences an earthly kingdom to set in order as he removes all evil from the earth (Mt.25). God declared by his Word, that His people would first be scattered "among all people, from one end of the earth even unto the other" (Deuteronomy 28:64;31:29; 1 Kings 9:7; Nehemiah 1:8; Amos 9:9; Zechariah 7:14; etc.). Stating wandering Jews would be, "an astonishment, a proverb, a byword ... a curse and a reproach" (Deuteronomy 28:37; 2 Chronicles 7:20; Jeremiah 29:18; 44:8; etc.). This has been proven true of the Jews all down through history even in our day.As surely as this took place so will the fulfillment which commences as they are brought back into their original land (1948). The Spiritual war is REAL on earth as the birth pains increase to bring Him and his kingdom on earth. What is unknown to those who curse Israel and her people, who speak against Zionism are against God. For God is for Zion and his people whom he made the covenant with. This is evident by the story of Balaam. Those who speak against this do not know how removed they are opposing Scripture.There are different forms of Zionism, political, social and religious. Sometimes they overlap with certain elements that are contained in one another. Zionism is not racism. I can understand criticizing political Zionism, which more often brings confusion to its meaning. But to say all Zionism is wrong and terrible is to say that God is a monster, because he is the one who spoke it, as a promise to his people. This becomes the main terminology used by anti- semites that claim Israel is practicing apartheid and is involved in genocide. To these conspirators, this becomes a world-wide Jewish conspiracy to destroy Western culture. Some make use of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion that was a Russian communist forgery to blame the Jews during the pogroms and then incarcerate them. Now hat they are in the land, as God has promised (their return in the latter days) different tactics are used. Some say these ARE NOT Jews, Israelites, Hebrews, returning to Israel as the Bible prophecies…, many consider Israel a NATION that is a COUNTERFEIT. IN Fact Israel, some use the term, they, the people and the nation are ‘the synagogue of satan.’ The actual fact is; it is satan who is trying to prevent a third temple to be built for he knows when it begins to be built he will have to enter it at a certain point of time as prophecy tells us, his demise is sealed. In 1904 Pope Pius X told Theodor Hertzl, founder of the Zionist movement, "The Hebrews have never recognized Our Lord. Therefore, we cannot recognize the Hebrew People.” He is their Lord to, and denying the land in their covenant does not help to have them recognize this. The Roman church has a history of not supporting Israel as a people of the land to this day. Jews who recognize Jesus as their messiah, are Zionists, like the Jewish prophets. Are they to be called as the synagogue of satan? Generalizing all Jews who have returned to the land today? Today this opposition continues by who promote their anti-Semitism who attempt to propagate the theory of a world-wide Jewish conspiracy of taking over the world. If one actually does research they will find Gentiles are far more in numbers and influence in trying to control the world. There is only one religion with this intent, not Judaism it is Islam. In fact many of these accusations come from Islam. What of the early church that were all Jews who wanted the kingdom to come and even asked Jesus when it would come? Acts 1 also tells us that Christ taught that the kingdom of Israel will be restored. After His resurrection, He spoke to the disciples “of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God” (Acts 1:3). It is obvious that the kingdom Christ taught them was the kingdom promised in Old Testament prophecies. He had not taught them that the church has replaced Israel, because just before He ascended, the disciples asked, “Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” (Ac. 1:6). They understood that Israel’s kingdom would be restored, they just didn’t know when. Jesus gives John the revelation of the tribulation that will bring about his return, and ruling from earthly Jerusalem that will Last 1,000 years until the new Jerusalem that is 1,500 miles square that comes out of heaven upon the earth. A further problem becomes evident. The New Covenant is not fulfilled in or by the church, the writer of Hebrews quotes it (8:6-13 10:15-19). Twice it states, The New Covenant belongs to “the house of Israel” (Heb. 8:8, 10). Which means they must continue to exist for those to grafted in. to love Zion -is Zionism 1 Kings 8:1the City of David, is Zion God uses the word Zion for his future pace of residence in the millennium. Within the word Zionism is the word “Zion.” “Zion” is the mount where the Jewish Temple was built, it is the equivalent to the name “Jerusalem.” Zionism is concerned with the Land of Zion and with its capital, Jerusalem. Zionism came from the God of Israel. True Zionism carries the belief that the Jewish people have a right to a state of their own, this state for the Jews is the Land of Israel, which they formerly lived in and developed until they were ousted by the Roman armies. That had a counterfeit church developed by Constantine. Jewish believers who believe in Aliya, a return to their original homeland in general are all Zionist. To say Zionism, Jews do not have a right to exist in their land, the world has condemned Israel, the Jews right to exist. J.C. Ryle, gave this sermon Scattered Israel to Be Gathered Zionism had the priority to be living in the Land that God gave their people by covenant, which has a far deeper meaning than what is found in politics. It is about God, his city and His people. God is the author of Zion and Zionism. If you are anti -Zionist you have a problem with God, not just his people. When his people were captured brought to Babylon Ps.137:1-6: By the rivers of Babylon, There we sat down, yea, we wept, When we remembered Zion. So they sang songs in foreign landthey were held in captivity by, Babylon. “If I forget you, O Jerusalem, Let my right hand forget her skill. Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, If I remember you not; If I prefer not Jerusalem Above my chief joy.” Isaiah the Prophet was a patriot for Israel was a Zionist, he wrote in 62:1: “ For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns.” So Zionism is not based on recent history but ancient promises. And for this reason the Devil and the world are against her. Salvation came Psalm 14:7 “ the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion ! When God brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.” It began in Jerusalem and it will begin anew there. “Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay inZionfor a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” (Isaiah 28:16). Jesus is the rock“ Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent”( Ps. 50:2-3). We as believers in Christ, should long for this to happen, support it, as the Lord comes back to his place of residence, which involves Israel. Ps 2:6 “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion ."Ps 65:1 “ Praise is awaiting You, O God, in Zion” Micah 4:11-12 “ Now also many nations have gathered against you, Who say, “Let her be defiled, And let our eye look upon Zion.” This is then day spoken of by the prophets as judgment when the world that followed the false christ comes together to finish off Israel. It has to do with Jerusalem and its people and it is especially referred to when the day of Lord’ takes place which brings an end to the age. Joel 2:1-3 “ blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand: again Isaiah 34:8“Forit isthe day of the LORD’S vengeance,andthe year of recompences for the controversy ofZion.” God’s promise Ez. 36:3-8 God prepared the land first for his people. We read in 37:15 2 sticks
Ezek 36:5-7"Surely I have spoken in My burning jealousy against the rest
of the nations and against all Edom, who gave My land to themselves as a
possession, with whole-hearted joy and spiteful minds, in order to plunder
its open country." ' V.7'
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "I have raised My hand in an oath that
surely the nations that are around you shall bear their own shame”
They profane his name that misrepresent him V.23-25 “
When God arises: Ps. 102:13 “You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her,”v.16 “for the LORD shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory.”Isa. 60:14: “ and they shall call you The City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel .” “Thus saith the LORD; I am returned untoZion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain. ” ( Zechariah 8:3) If you are against zionism you are against Zion, and you are against God. They are all tied in together. You cannot have one without the other. Ps 87:2-3 ”The LORD loves the gates of Zion More than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God!” Zion –Jerusalem is called the city of God, and he is the God of Israel, for the Messiah is their king. What had taken place at the crucifixion will be realized (Zech.12:210)“ I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation inZionfor Israel my glory.” ( Isaiah 46:13)
“For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, ThisisZion, whom no man seeketh after.” ( Jeremiah 30:17) Joel 3:14 describes his return “The LORD also will roar from Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake; But the LORD will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.”
“And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer , and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them , when I shall take away their sins.” ( Romans 11:26, 27)
At this time Joel 2:28 is fulfilled. "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams,Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.” V. 32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD vShall be saved.For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the LORD has said,Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.” ” (he is speaking of Israel,Zech 12:1 “ I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they have pierced; they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son?” The worlds future is about Israel Few prophets are like Ezekiel who reveals the future in detail. 37:19-22 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand." ' "And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes. Then say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; Isa 2:2 ” Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills;And all nations shall flow to it.” Micah adds to Isaiah “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains,v And shall be exalted above the hills;And peoples shall flow to it.“And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth ofZion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” (Micah 4:2) Notice how God describes this to the prophet, the God of Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. Ps 78:68-69 “ Those the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which He loved. And He built His sanctuary like the heights,Like the earth which He has established forever.” Ps 48:1-3 further describes, “ Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, In His holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, The joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, The city of the great King. God is in her palaces;He is known as her refuge.” Ps 76:2 “In Salem also is His tabernacle,And His dwelling place in Zion. “And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zionshall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”(Isaiah 2:3).
“Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given meare for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.” (Isaiah 8:18) “Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant ofZion: for greatisthe Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.” (Isaiah 12:6) Joel 2:25-3:1 "So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,The crawling locust,The consuming locust,And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied,And praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame. Then you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: I am the LORD your God And there is no other. My people shall never be put to shame.”
"So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain .” “For the people shall dwell inZionat Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.” Isaiah 30:19) “The LORD shall reign for ever,eventhy God, OZion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.” ( Psalm 146:10) “Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mountZion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.” ( Isaiah 24:23) Ezekiel 38:23 declares, “Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the Lord.” “the times of the Gentiles,” will end, He then set up His earthly kingdom (Zech 12:14, Rv. 19:7-20:6), ruling not just Israel but the entire world from “the throne of David” in Jerusalem.’ Christians not just in America, but in all countries should see these outspoken denials of Israel according to God’s word as evil, for it is opposing his ancient promises for the last days. Without thee fulfilled, there is no return of the Messiah. |
