Luke 21:17-22 “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake.

But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

In your patience possess ye your souls.

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 

Then let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.” 

Many of you may have already saw the news report that God’s very chosen people are being advised to hide their true identity from the world.

Hide the fact that they are Jewish.

Hide their identity.

Hide the star of David, avoid wearing any clothing or article that would give away the truth of Who has chosen Jerusalem as His habitation, FOREVER and FOREVER.

After everything their people have been through, suffered, survived and overcome, now they must deny their very identity and hide?

No, because God will fight for them.

Isaiah 31:4: “For thus the LORD hath spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and the hill thereof.”

The gays have their rights, sex changes are all the rage, society brags inclusive, the new politically correct, anti-God phrase, and yet, 2023 the Jews are once again being commanded to hide themselves away.

The devil and the world would sure as Hades love that!

Isn’t that the ultimate goal?

Do away with Israel, do away with her people, in some twisted belief that in doing so they will be rid of God and His commands and hell and the forces thereof can have prime pickings over all the innocent of the earth.

And those who are absolute God Haters mistakenly think once that are rid of the rules and regulations set down from God that their lives on earth will be sweet as cherry pie, no one trying to win their souls, no one delivering the Word of God, no one to point out what they already know, sin is sin and sin will be judged but it’s just not going to quite work out that way.

God does not merely vanish because someone chooses to wish Him away.

Those who are raping and murdering the Jews today are coming for everyone else on another day.

How can people really be so delusional to think that they will be immune to that venomous hatred?

These monsters are not human.

Human beings do not bake babies in ovens and rape dead bodies, that is purely demonic, they commit these acts because they hate humans.

If you are human, it doesn’t matter what you are, gay, straight, black, white, saved, unsaved, whatever you call yourself to be, they will hate you and they will want to destroy you.

Does anyone ever wonder why Hitler and his henchmen committed suicide?

Merely killing off the bodies that they were inhabiting.

God created us all to be eternal beings, angels and the humans.

Humans can not destroy devils, they don’t die.

They will be eternally in hell, but they do not die.

God sends them to the abyss, which is a holding place until all things are fulfilled and then they and the devil will be dealt with.

Jude 1:6: ” And the angels which kept not their first estate. (the ones who chose to join Lucifer in his rebellion against God) he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”

So, you may ask what the deal with Lucifer is anyway.

I’ll answer that by asking this first, how much power does music hold?

Think of this, any human at any time can recall a song to mind, that song plays inside of our head and can instantly transport our thoughts to the times, people, and places familiar to us when we first heard or listened to that song.

Nothing else has that kind of power.

The reason is because all living creation has the built in need to praise, it is meant to be praise to God but at the fall when Lucifer became Satan, that was perverted along with everything else he held.

That’s not to say it’s wrong to listen to music.

I just wanted to point out the power it has, and we know there is truly demonic music, quite obvious by listening and many actually reference Satan in their lyrics, you just have to be careful to listen to what you’re listening to, watch out for lyrics.

We all fight to keep the wrong songs out of head.

But back to our subject. The Bible teaches us that there were three Arch Angels, Micheal, the warrior, Gabriel, the Messenger, and Lucifer, he was the praise leader, he actually had his instruments created inside of him.

He was the most beautiful of God’s creations and he was a protector, which also explains why the most vulnerable are always the ones who are attacked and suffer.

To gain even more understanding, also read Isaiah chapter fourteen, he is referred to by many names, in that chapter he referred to as king of Babylon.

Or check out this post, it details the thoughts of satan in his desire to set himself above the throne of God and God’s answer back to that.

Here’s a glimpse: Again, please read slowly, thoughtfully, and consider what the Lord is conveying to us in this passage, as it describes the enemy, and a clear before his fall and the cause of his fall, and a brief outcome of it all.

But I encourage to study for yourselves, there are so many passages in various books, I have to just highlight them, but there is so much more, and God can give you wisdom and understanding to them all, if you only ask.

Ezekiel 28:12-18: ” Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him,  Thus saith the Lord GOD; thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:

the workmanship of the tabrets and of thy pipes (musical instruments) was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 

Thou art the anointed cherub (type of angel) that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned.

therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness:

I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick;

therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.”

Because of his beauty and gifting, He became arrogant and jealous of God and wanted to be God, he wanted to be worshipped.

Jesus said this, Luke 10:18: “And he said unto them, I Beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”

Now to explain all the Amalekites of old, Haman, and all the evil kings of earth, and Pharoah and all the nazis, Hezbollah, Hamas, and all those screaming possessed bodies who hate the Jews.

Well, he did take a lot of his buddies with him, the angels, a third of them followed him in his quest to overthrow heaven itself and they became demons.

Revelation 12:7-9:“And there was war in heaven: Micheal and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

and prevailed not: neither was their place found anymore in heaven. 

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

How horrific and chilling is it that seventy-five years after the United Nations made an international treaty to prevent and punish crimes of genocide that now the same organization has members that advocate and applaud the very atrocities this treaty was in place to prevent.

Hateful, evil protests worldwide calling for the destruction of the Jews, reminiscent of Ku Klux Klan marches and white supremacist rallies, same hatred, same evil, and same devil and demons running the show.

Ever notice that also, it just goes from one group to another.

But we understand through these scriptures who really calls the plays.

This all leads to the ultimate end time game of demanded worship of the devil, whatever party leader he may claim himself to be, and those who do not worship the beast and take his mark, will be beheaded and those who do will suffer eternal damnation.

BUT Israel will not cower, and Israel will not be defeated, no matter how bad it looks, it’s all the labor pains, the sorrow, the blood, the agony of deliverance as earth awaits the return of her King.

They were a nation that was destroyed and no longer a nation and now again a nation and a nation they will forever be.

Ezekiel 38:8-23: “After many days thou shalt be visited; in the latter years thou 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 always been waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

{The thoughts of the hearts of the enemy foretold}

Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee. 

Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:

And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

To take a spoil, and to take a prey, to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?

{The Lord’s answer}

Therefore, son of man. prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

And shalt come forth from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army: 

And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?

And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.

For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 

So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

And I will call for a sword against him throughout my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.

And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

Thus will I magnify myself and sanctify myself; AND I WILL BE KNOWN IN THE EYES OF MANY NATIONS, AND THEY SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD.”

That’s a little of the Who and Why and remember those instructions for fleeing from our beginning passages are only for Israel.

The reason not a hair will perish is that even if we are killed we will be resurrected from the dead and we must have patience in all things to safeguard our souls during such a time of horrid events.

Babylon will be destroyed from the face of earth in a separate judgment, the Why on that one is pretty clear, so if we want out of here, we have to either die in the Lord or be saved and go in the rapture,

Who knows when these events will take place, it is getting scary as it all comes to pass and I really wouldn’t be shocked if we end up with martial law as they go from hating the Jews to moving onto hating the Christians, and on down the line.

In reality the devil hates all, he just uses those that follow him and then when they are no longer of value he will turn on them too as will his agents that are carrying out these atrocities now.

Pray for Israel, pray for the hostages, and all that need rescued the world over!

Revelation 22:21: ” He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

Love & Peace till next time!
