Bible Prophecy
Bible Prophecy
By; Dan Fraley
Bible prophecy begins and ends with the nation of Israel. America stepped into prophecy with them when it based its foundation on the same values and same scriptures. This decision led America to be the key player in bringing about the most significant prophetic event in two thousand years, the rebirth of Israel (Ezk. 37). William Blackstone, a Methodist layman, from upstate New York wrote the first prophetic book on Israel and the last days, in 1878. The book's title is Jesus is Coming, and is still in print today. This book sparked the Zionist movement in the hearts of Jews living in disporia. The writing of this book offended the Christian mainstream church's philosophy of replacement theology. The book is much more scripture than commentary. It speaks of the rebuilding of a Jewish nation and not a church replacement in the prophecies. Europe's churches (and some of America's) were teaching anti-Semitism. This book opened the eyes of American churches, but Europe (in exception of England) refused to accept it. Hitler's hatred was fueled by Martin Luther's anti-Semitic writings and the churches teaching of replacement theology. A quote from Hitler's Mein Kampf; "Today, I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator, by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord".
William Eugene Blackstone, a Christian, is a highly respected hero in the nation of Israel. The founder of the Zionist movement, Theadore Herzl, the number one hero, was so inspired by this Christian book, that he wrote a book himself. Herzl.s book is called The Jewis State and it founded the Zionist movement. Blackstone's Bible is displayed in Herzl's tomb in Israel, with it opened to the marked prophecies that sparked this end time event.
God works through people to fulfill His prophecies. This inspires me to do all I can to walk in Gods ways, so that He may use me for His will.
I believe, that if we call on God to heal our land, America will stay aligned with Israel and aid in its restoration in the end times. We do not need to be swallowed up in worldliness that puts us on the wrong side of the final battle of Armageddon. We could accomplish what no other nation on earth could ever hope to do, but we can not do it with out a major course correction. And we better stop getting involved in giving God's land away to Israel's enemy!
We are in the cross-hairs of those who hate Christians and Jews and what our nations stand for. We must respond to those who hate us with spirituality, Christian love and compassion based in firmness. Force comes into the picture only because of protection, not revenge! Our political wisdom should be based on clarity of vision and moral integrity. We have a worthy moral calling, far more powerful than the call of martyrdom of the suicide bombers. Yet until we live with a greater conviction than they die with, our generation will not see what God wants to do in it. Our politics and the course of our nation are the result of what is in our hearts............they do not determine what is in our hearts. If God is truly going to heal our land, we must do our part. It is not just a question of correct foreign and domestic policy, but also an issue of the churches in the United States kicking relativism out and earnestly seeking God and His ways above all else. The Bible tells us that we are to "live soberly, righteously, and Godly, in the present world, looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and Savior Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:12-13)
The Shepherd is calling for spiritual warriors, will we answer the call?
