THE TRIBULATION |
. |
|
| . |
.
Many Christians are very conscious
of the ominous prediction in the Bible that things will one day, at the end
of time, go very wrong. And they know that this time is referred to as the
TRIBULATION. Most, however, don't think that it will affect them and don't
contemplate ways to safeguard themselves. Others, especially Christians who
know they would be targeted because of their uncompromising stand on the
bible, are not all that worried about the Tribulation, because they bargain
on being taken out alive and bodily before things get too bad at the so-called
RAPTURE.
In general Christians' interest in END-TIME teachings is mostly centered
on WHEN this Rapture might take place - with the hope that they will survive
until that time -- not that all Christians, of course, agree with the Rapture
doctrine, and they have more of a wait-and-see attitude.
What state of affairs could be regarded as Tribulation? Generally, it's a
scenario where specific groups of people are persecuted, a condition that
has been around throughout the ages as certain groups were being targeted.
That was tribulation for them, but End-Time TRIBULATION will be more widespread
because it will be aimed at the masses that don't agree with those in power
or are disqualified because of their beliefs, agenda, grouping, associations,
etc. All religions will be targeted and dicriminated against as we already
see in France and even North America where reference to the God of Israel
and his Son is being banned in public. Muslims are also targeted due to Islam
being such a fertile breeding ground for terrorism. What we need to establish
is,

What will TRIGGER It? |
|
|
|
.
An answer to the
"What"
question will also indicate with
considerable accuracy "When"
it will happen, because the
"When"
will follow the
"What."
We will know from the fact that
people groups will be subjected to impossible demands and regulations, people
will disappear or be rounded up, will try to hide or flee, like the Jews
in Europe during World War II.
What will trigger mass action against
people?As we see it, the
trigger could be something Israel will need to do to her neighbors
that will cause the nations to turn against her, viz. (1) a collapse of the
Temple Mount in which the mosques on it get badly damaged or destroyed, followed
by a refusal of the Jews to allow the restoration of the structures, or (2)
one or more of Israel's neighbors firing fastly destructive missiles at her
that will necessitate knocking out these neighbors to stop them from firing
the missiles. We have explained how this could come about in our
"Prophetic Wakeup Call!"
In addition, one only needs to mention the tremendous increase in anti-Semitism
worldwide, most worrisome of which, that in
Europe. Arutz Sheva News Service reported on
May 23, 2003: In France hate crimes quadrupled in 2002, with over
half of the attacks aimed at Jews. The outbreak of the Oslo War (Intifada)
in late 2000 sparked a wave of anti-Semitic incidents worldwide, with Europe's
largest number of anti-Semitic attacks occurring in France. Attacks in Great
Britain rose by 75% last year as well.
A European Union-sponsored survey
showing the extent of anti-Israeli sentiment in Europe has many people in
Israel quite worried. The poll surveyed 7,500 people, 500 in each of the
15 EU member states. They were presented with a list of 15 countries, and
were asked if these countries present a threat to world peace. Israel
was rated "yes" by the highest number of respondents, almost 59%. Arutz
Sheva News Service Nov. 4, 2003. |

The anti-Semitism mentioned above
is based on the "limited action" Israel actually so far needed to take to
safeguard her citizens against terrorist acts by the "POOR" (so-called)
Palestinians. One shudders to think what reaction there would be in the nations
when Israel is forced to wipe out a large number of Arabs. Large scale
persecution will erupt against Jews in the nations, including people groups
like Christians who are known to support them. And while "THEY" are at it,
they will also go after others who don't fit into their mould. |

Who are "THEY," the BAD
Guys? |
|
|
|
.
Let's limit ourselves to narrowing
"THEM" down to leaders in leading nations who conspire to control the world,
whether they be royalty, presidents, politicians, government officials and
departments, intelligence services, institutions, business tycoons, clergy,
secretive organizations, etc.
In other words, NATIONALISM, replaced
by INTER-NATIONALISM or GLOBALISM. It's nothing new in the world, since it
was already what the Tower of
Babel
was all about, that would
be tried over and over by others - as the Prophet Daniel pointed out, ending
in our day with the resurrected Roman Empire.
For that reason, in our opinion,
the U. S. A must go down and Europe must go up. It explains why American
presidents seem to do what's best globally as against nationally. It causes
political leaders to seem to be fighting for the enemy as we see with Israeli
leaders, viz., as stated by Dr. Aaron Lerner in Imra-Digest, Nov. 29
2001:
Instead of being fired for
knowingly hurting Israel's position, we have President Shimon Peres openly
attacking/attempting to undermine Israel's negotiating position. |

Shimon Peres' "selling out" of Israel
is typical of leftist Israeli leaders, from the inception of the State of
Israel, including Ben Gurion and Golda Meir. Most baffling, however, is the
way Israeli generals try to give away all the land they had fought for when
they become politicians. Under them. the most famous, Yitzchak Rabin, Ehud
Barak, Avram Mitzna and now also Arial Sharon. Barry Chamish
<chamish@netvision.net.il>
writes about Sharon in his "NOTES FROM THE UNDERWORLD." (Jan 16, 2004):
-
How long must we hammer
in the same message: Sharon is totally compromised by the Council for Foreign
Relations (CFR) and does its bidding?
Reports continue to surface
that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's diplomatic policies are being run more
in tandem with American dictates than with Israeli Cabinet decisions. Middle
East Newsline (MENL) reports today that Sharon pledged to the United States
that he would help establish an interim Palestinian state in 2004, regardless
of whether the Palestinian Authority ends terrorism and eliminates terrorist
infrastructures.
[NB. Most of Israel's Prime Ministers
happen to be high ranking Freemasons - just look at the line-up at PM Rabin's
funeral to see what we mean -- especially international figures who had no
official reason to attend, like Prince Charles. Zionsake Editor] |

What the so-called
PEACE PROCESS is all about, is to conform Israel in power and size to a standard
that could be controllable in a GLOBAL constellation of nations. Actually
"THEY" would prefer for Israel not to exist at all, since the demon forces
that oppose the God of Israel, know they don't have a chance to foil HIS
plans with HIS Inheritance, Israel.
To CONFORM, Israel must make the most damaging concessions any nation can
make, namely, give up territory - territory they have lived on for most of
4 millennia. What we mean is reflected by the following:
Europe and the Saudis pressed ahead
with an initiative for bringing Israel into the European Union and NATO as
a full member in return for its withdrawal to pre-1967 war lines and a settlement
evacuation plan. DEBKAfile Special Analysis

One after the other, Israeli leaders
seem to make a total about turn by making concessions to the detriment of
their nation. With some, like Shimon Peres, it's willingly because they are
part of the globalist agenda, while others have to be coerced into towing
the line - mostly by threatening to withdraw loan guarantees.

WHAT, HOWEVER, WILL HAPPEN IF ISRAEL
IS FORCED TO TAKE UNILATERAL ACTION against the Arabs that would foil the
plans of the international community to destroy Israel or to prevent her
from becoming too strong for "THEM" to control?
A power vacuum will be created in
the Middle East that Israel, the victors, will be able to utilize to become
the controlling power in the region - basically only the Turks and Iranians
(Persians), [non-Arabs], will be left, and they will need the line-up of
the allies we see in Ezekiel 38-39 (Armageddon) to try to bring down
Israel.
Instead of lining up against the
State of Israel straight away the nations and people groups in the nations
will turn on the Jews closest to them, their fellow citizens, including gentiles
known to be sympathetic to Israel - mainly Christians. This, as we've
already pointed out, will in our view TRIGGER widespread
TRIBULATION.

WHERE to RUN TO? |
|
|
|
.
Ironically, and incredibly so, churches
that do talk about end-times (escatology) and biblical end-time prophets,
concentrate all their speculation on when the RAPTURE will be, none on what
will cause it to erupt. Consequently, nothing is also done to prepare Christians
for whatever TRIBULATION they will have to go through. Needless to say, no
church leader can tell them where to run to.
Another irony, is that some Christians have for years been involved with
planning and preparing escape routes, safe houses, etc. for Jews from the
nations. The reason, of course, why planning to RESCUE Jews can be done,
is because Israel has been there for them to run to since 1948.
Contrary to Jews, Christians are not planning their own escape from TRIBULATION
because they don't know where to run to. They don't know that ISRAEL is there
for them to run to AS WELL, because they know so little about the God of
Israel's plans with his land and his Jews. Most just see hardship for the
Jews until the remaining few are saved by their Messiah during the Armageddon
war. Few have noticed the words "in
peace," "unwalled villages," "living in such confidence," "rich" and "earth
revolves around them" describing their status quo when the nations attack
them in the Armageddon War.
Ezek 38:8 "'A long time from now
you will be called to action. In distant years you will swoop down onto the
land of Israel that will be lying in
peace (in safety - NIV) after
the return of its people from many lands...11 You will have said, "Israel
is an unprotected land of unwalled villages! I will march against her and
destroy these people living in such confidence! 12 I will go to those
once-desolate cities that are now filled with people again-those who have
returned from all the nations-and I will capture vast amounts of loot and
many slaves. For the people are rich with cattle now, and the whole
earth revolves around them!"
 TLB |
"earth
revolves around them" - the
literal translation is: "at
the center of the world" --
implying that Israel will have a say in everything happening in the
nations.

Christians
fail to grasp the advantage and significance of having become "GRAFTED IN"
into and being "PART" of the "COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL."
Rom 11:17 But some of these branches
from Abraham's tree, some of the Jews, have been broken off. And you Gentiles
who were branches from, we might say, a wild olive tree, were
grafted
in. So now you, too, receive
the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in God's
rich nourishment of his own special olive tree. TLB
Eph 2:11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are
called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh
by hands-- 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from
the commonwealth of Israel
and strangers from the
covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But
now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the
blood of Christ. NKJV |
The concept in Eph 2:12,
"strangers from the covenants of
promise" is not limited to
spiritual salvation, since the God of Israel's covenant with his people,
including the "wild" olive branches that are grafted in, also entails a place
to live in safety and prosperity. That non-Jewish believers are to share
in the Promised land is clearly born out in the following statements: |
|
|
|
Isa 14:1 But the
Lord will have mercy on the Israelis; they are still his special ones. He
will bring them back to settle once again in the land of Israel.
And many nationalities will come and join
them there and be their loyal allies
[contrary to the Arabs
who want to take their inheritance from
them]. 2 The nations of
the world will help them to return, and
those coming to live in their
land will serve them. Those enslaving Israel will be
enslaved -
Israel shall rule her enemies!
TLB
The Torah repeats the command 36 times that Jews
must help any non-Jew who dwells in peace in the land of Israel. David Bedein,
Israel Resource News Agency.
2 Chron 30:25 Then the people of Judah, together with the priests, the Levites,
the foreign
residents, and the visitors
from Israel, were filled with deep joy. TLB
Ezek 47:21 "You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to
the tribes of Israel. 22 You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves
and for the aliens who have settled among you and who have children. You
are to consider them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to
be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. 23 In whatever tribe
the alien settles, there you are to give him his inheritance," declares the
Sovereign LORD. NIV
Rom 9:23 And he has a right to take others
such as ourselves, who have been made for pouring the riches of his glory
into, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, and to be kind to us so that everyone
can see how very great his glory
is. 25 Remember what the prophecy
of Hosea says? There God says that he will find other children for himself
(who are not from his Jewish family) and will love them, though no one had
ever loved them before. 26 And the heathen, of whom it once was said, "You
are not my people," shall be called "sons of the Living God." TLB |

From these scriptures it is abundantly clear that
"foreigners" are just as welcome to settle in the Promised Land as Jews are.
[as long, of course, as they are loyal allies as stated above in
Isa 14:1]. Jehovah already set this "trend" in his instructions
to Abraham about the circumcision:
Gen 17:11 the foreskin of his penis
shall be cut off. This will be the proof that you and they accept this covenant.
12 Every male shall be circumcised on the eighth day after birth. This applies
to every foreign-born slave as well as to everyone born in your household.
This is a permanent part of this contract, and it applies to all your posterity.
TLB |
Whereas Jehovah automatically included foreigners
in the Jewish nation via the circumcision, citizenship in Israel in our day
is strictly limited to Jews by means legislation. Israel is accommodating
a large number of foreign workers in spite of the presence of the hoards
of Arabs in the country. This, of course, because of the Arabs' terrorist
activities. This need for foreign workers will continue in future, and increase
by millions in the near future (in our view) when the Arab's militancy leads
to their elimination from the country.
Be ready therefore, Israel is going to need large
numbers of immigrants, especially when vast tracks of land become available
due to the disappearance of the Arabs.

Holy Land Inc.'s strategy
to facilitate
IMMIGRATION |
|
|
|
-
It is to enable prospective immigrants to explore
the Holy Land the way Abra(ha)m did, setting up camp from place to place.
We will therefore set up camps and acquire campers, caravans, mobile homes,
tents and accessories and amenities as capital becomes available. Soon, however,
permanent structures will follow; ablution blocks, community centers, service
centers; eventually, permanent homes!!
