~ A Saturday Morning Post #40 ~

<\/em>One condition that must be met before Christ\u2019s 2nd<\/sup> coming is increasing Jewish persecution. This Antisemitism has been taking place since the beginning days of Israel\u2019s existence when they were growing up in Egypt, and 3600 years later it still goes on, and will continue right up until Christ\u2019s return. Revelation 12 best summarizes this hellish opposition<\/a> against the Jews, this persecution driven and directed by the devil himself. The imagery is given of a seven-headed, ten-horned dragon, depicting eight different devilish empires opposing the Jews. Seven of these are now in the past, but one more, the Antichrist\u2019s 10 nation kingdom, is still to come.

<\/p>\n

Revelation 12:1-5 takes us from the birth of Israel to the birth of Christ. The pregnant woman with 12 stars is the nation of Israel, and she was in painful labor during this time. That\u2019s because Satan was using six different kingdoms to persecute the Jews and prevent the Savior from being born – they were Egypt,<\/a> Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. These God hating kingdoms wanted to wipe out the Jews and Jesus, but none were successful, for verse 5 tells us about the birth of Jesus Christ, the future Ruler, and that He ascended into heaven. And that\u2019s all it says, for the main point of this verse isn\u2019t about Christ being the Savior, but that Christ will be the King over the world.

<\/p>\n\n

Revelation 12 isn\u2019t about the church age, it\u2019s about the \u201cwoman\u201d<\/em>, the Jews, being persecuted by the devil. Looking back we see that there\u2019s about a 2000 year gap between verses 5 and 6, taking us from Christ\u2019s 1st<\/sup> coming to the last half of Daniel\u2019s 70th<\/sup> week and Christ\u2019s 2nd<\/sup> coming. But where were the Jews during this entire time? When Jesus was on earth, He repeatedly predicted that wrath was coming upon the Jews<\/a> (Luke 19:41-44, 20:16, 21:20-24, 23:28-31), and this tragically took place around 70AD. Historians tell us that close to 1 million Jews were killed by the Romans, and Luke 21:24 says the rest would then \u201cbe led captive into all the nations, and will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>God\u2019s word has come true, for there\u2019s been great persecution against the Jews over the course of all those years, but by God\u2019s mercy, they were never completely destroyed – a remnant of Jews has always survived.

<\/p>\n\n

The Diaspora, this worldwide Jewish displacement, lasted a long time, a little over 1800 years, but by the promises of God and for the purposes of God, the Jews have miraculously been returning to their land. And the persecution continued, their darkest days occurring when this devilish Hitler led a holocaust resulting in the mass murder of close to 6 million Jews. God was sovereign in that their deaths led to the rebirth of their nation in 1948. The anti-Semitic attacks kept coming \u2013 there was the Sinai War of 1956, the Six Day War of 1967, the Yom Kippur War of 1973, the Lebanon War of 1982, and in addition, a great deal of global opposition.

<\/p>\n\n

Now it\u2019s 2017, and it\u2019s obvious to those who watch world affairs, that there\u2019s a major effort underway to get a peace treaty between the Jews and Palestinians. What\u2019s amazing is that over 2500 years ago God predicted that a covenant between the Jews and the Antichrist would be confirmed, and it would take place right at the beginning of Daniel\u2019s 70th<\/sup> week,<\/a> that end times\u2019 prophecy packed 7 year time frame (Daniel 9:24-27).

<\/p>\n\n

I don’t believe it will be too long before this covenant is signed, and life may then be a bit better for the Jews, but this \u201cpeace\u201d<\/em> will be short lived. That\u2019s because the Antichrist<\/a> is a liar. We then come to the midpoint of Daniels\u2019 70th<\/sup> week, and 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 tells us that this \u201cson of destruction\u2026 takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.\u201d<\/em> All discerning Jews and Christians will know that this is the Antichrist. This most evil man will begin persecuting the Jews, then the Christians. Starting in Jerusalem, this great persecution will spread to the whole world. \u201cThere will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now\u201d <\/em>(Matthew 24:15-21).

<\/p>\n\n

The good news is that a sizable Jewish remnant will escape (Matthew 24:16-26, Revelation 12:13-16). But not all will get away from the Antichrist and his forces of evil, and the killing fields will once again be red with the blood of the Jews. Even the United States will abandon the Jews and be against them. In fact, \u201cAll nations of the earth will be gathered against it\u201d <\/em>(Zechariah 12:3). This Jewish persecution will continue \u201cuntil the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled\u201d<\/em> (Luke 21:24). Then God will fulfill His promise of salvation<\/a> for the Jews. \u201cAnd thus all Israel will be saved… This is my covenant with them, when I take away their sins <\/em>(Romans 11:25-26).\u00a0 Then begin the glory years,<\/a> the millennial kingdom age, and all believers from all time, you and me included, will join the Jews in worshiping and serving the Lord Jesus Christ. \u201cBlessed be His glorious name forever; and may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.\u201d<\/em> Psalm 72:19
