In that day

Zechariah 12:2-8 NKJV

"Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. [3] And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. [4] In that day," says the LORD, "I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. [5] And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, 'The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength in the LORD of hosts, their God.' [6] In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a firepan in the woodpile, and like a fiery torch in the sheaves; they shall devour all the surrounding peoples on the right hand and on the left, but Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place-Jerusalem. [7] "The LORD will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem shall not become greater than that of Judah. [8] In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the LORD before them.

Anyone who loves the Bible and treasures it as God's Holy Word can never turn their backs on Israel.

Today we hear many so called Christians spouting their replacement theology and antisemitic rhetoric.

In order to hold their beliefs, they must rip out rip out large chunks of prophecy and deny the Jewishness of Jesus.

Isn't it amazing that Judah, mentioned in the above prophecy, is today in the so called "West Bank" which many secular Israelis couldn't care less about and where Jews living there are called "settlers". When they build their houses and inhabit ancient Judea and Samaria, their dwellings are called "illegal" and engender great anger internationally.

But the Lord specifically refers to Judah in His End Time Pronouncements.

In His Eyes Judah is not only a legitimate part of Israel, but also among the most important areas.

Follow the lineage of David and it is clear that Bethlehem was his birth place as it was Jesus' too.

1 Samuel 17:12 NKJV

Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah, whose name was Jesse, and who had eight sons. And the man was old, advanced in years, in the days of Saul.

Today Bethlehem lies within the area controlled by the Palestinian authority. How ironic!

So, true believers must look at the "map" through the Lord's Viewer!

Jesus is coming back to a Jewish Jerusalem and Judea. Is that why Satan is stirring up so much controversy about these areas of Israel?

It is indeed a spiritual battle being fought, not with bombs and guns, but with fake ideologies and antagonism against the Lord.

But His Will cannot be thwarted - not by the nations of the world (U.N.) or any other dark confederation.

Zechariah 12:10 NKJV

"And I will pour on the house of David (Judah) and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.

Yes, at last, Israel will recognise Yeshua as their Messiah throughout the Promised Land.

What a day that will be.

I can't wait to be "In that day".
