1 O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.
2 Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies? Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up? 3 They devise crafty schemes against your people; they conspire against your precious ones. 4 “Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”
17 Let them be ashamed and terrified forever. Let them die in disgrace. 18 Then they will learn that you alone are called the Lord, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.
Psalm 83:1-5; 17-18
19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.
Isaiah 59:19
I was reading in the book of Isaiah the other day where the Assyrian king was threatening King Hezekiah in Jerusalem. Israel was greatly intimidated until the prophet Isaiah told King Hezekiah that God was going to turn back the Assyrians and kill the Assyrian king. That’s exactly what took place.
Sounds a lot like what’s going on today with Iran and Israel with the same impending outcome for Iran. When Israel’s enemies attack her in the last days, God’s going to destroy them as foretold in the Bible book of Ezekiel chapters 38-39.
God’s in control and we’re on the verge of seeing that carried out in the Middle East as Iran positions itself with military outposts in Syria. (Debka.com is pretty informative these days for accurate Israeli news.)
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Numbers 23:19
35 I will defend this city and save it, for my sake and for the sake of David my servant!” 36 Then the angel of the Lord went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies! 37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
Isaiah 37:35-37
Very exciting times…
As Jesus commands us to do in Matthew chapter 24, keep looking up for our redemption is very near.
God’s in control…And the whole earth is about to find that out.
God bless,
Mark
