"THE EARLY AND LATER SWORD"


WHAT PEACE? ISRAEL'S AIR FORCE GEARS UP FOR ATTACK ON IRAN

 John and doves,

Although close, it is not far, however its timing is not what the world is expecting. Even though ‘The Times of Israel’ headline says the “moment of truth is near”

The full article is linked here http://www.timesofisrael.com/iaf-plans-for-iran-attack/

I think the most of us at fivedoves understand that the Mossad, or the secret service of Israel is the ‘elite’ SS of the world, while the headline in and of itself is but a ‘blown cover as cover’ diversion to keep their enemies off track.

The media will blow this story out of proportion because of an over hyped 'readiness to believe', while believers will do so because the atmosphere is in an over hyped mode or 'readiness to escape'.

A close look at scripture shows that neither in Psalm 83 or Ezekiel 38, that Israel NEVER FIRES A SHOT!

THE EARLY AND LATER SWORD

All CAPS below are mine for emphasis, other than LORD.

We read of this plea for defeat of their enemies in Psalm 83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the whirlwind. 14 As fire burns wood and as flames set the mountains on fire; 15 So persecute them with YOUR TEMPEST, and make them afraid with YOUR STORM. 16 Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek your name, O LORD.

There is no mention of war here, but there is the SAME STORM of Jeremiah 23:19-20, Jeremiah 30:23-24 that is explained to the full in Isaiah 28:2. This is the “storm” God uses as the weapon of His indignation that we are to understand completely in the latter days!

WHO’S STORM?

From Jeremiah 23:19 Behold, THE STORM of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling TEMPEST; it will burst upon the head of the wicked. 20 The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intents of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it clearly.

God uses His “storm” as A SWORD to clear out the lands of Israel’s enemies, the “wicked” so Revelation 12:14-17 CAN BE fulfilled and the “remnant” can come in there for 1290 days and “live securely in unwalled villages with neither bars or gates”.

That is also verified in Ezekiel 38:8, where we read about that “latter day sword” of Jeremiah 23 and 30 that had brought them into the wilderness along the mountains of Israel to live securely in what we believe will be for 1290 days!

After many days you shall be visited: in THE LATTER YEARS you shall come into the land that is brought back FROM THE SWORD, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it (“the gathered out”) is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely ALL OF THEM”.

Notice these are NOT the as we’ve been taught only “JEWS” that go into the wilderness, but these, “all of them” are gathered out of ALL the nations.  

Again as in Psalm 83:14 we read about this other “sword” in Ezekiel 38:21 that tells us ISRAEL DOESN'T STRIKE IRAN, but that God uses His "SWORD" to do it.

And it WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL AFTER the remnant is gathered from the "many nations" of the earth, Ezekiel 38:8, Isaiah 11:10-16 and Ezekiel 20:33-38 along with Revelation 12:14-17

It is imperative to have a correct understanding of Ezekiel 38:5-9 that tells us the “gathering from among the nations” will be BEFORE Gog's attack on His land and we read that it is God who summons them against those "living securely in the mountains/wilderness of Israel". Ezekiel 38:16

We know that isn't happening today, because since day one (May 14, 1948), Israel has always had their 'guard' up against attacks on them and their land, they are never secure!

There you have it, the Set Apart God of Israel takes care of "Gog" and his great company AFTER the ‘final Exodus’, on what we believe comes over Passover, March 25, 2013 that allows His people to "dwell safely" until the 1290 days count out on October 3 or 4, 2016 and the Messianic age begins.

This text out of Ezekiel 34:25 witnesses this fact to the full.

A COVENANT OF PEACE

"I will make with them a covenant of peace and banish wild beasts from the land, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26 And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing, and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing.

27 And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I break the bars of their yoke, and deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them.

28 They shall no more be a prey to the nations, nor shall the beasts of the land devour them. They shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. 29 And I will provide for them renowned plantations so that they shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land, and no longer suffer the reproach of the nations. 30 And they shall know that I am the LORD their God with them, and that they, the house of Israel, ARE MY PEOPLE, declares the Lord GOD. 31 And you are my sheep, human sheep of my pasture, and I am your God, declares the Lord GOD."

Gog is brought into the land "in order that the nations may know Me, then He will be "sanctified" through them before their eyes! Ezekiel 38:16 and 38:23

In other words the "remnant" who have been gathered from exile, we believe will be in the wilderness for a period of at least three years BEFORE Gog "thinks his evil thought" and attacks them. Ezekiel 38:10

For we read; "I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations will see My judgment...Ezekiel 39:21a...

I’m looking for this “judgment” to occur with the sixth seal at Passover 2016, Ezekiel 38:19-23, which is some seven months before the 1290 days count out on October 3 or 4, 2016.

 

Giving Him the glory an Ezekiel 33:6 watching one, REPENT the Kingdom of God and the “authority of His Messiah is at hand
