THE BIBLE PROPHECY ABOUT GAZA in recent time, when I listen or watch world news , I tried to analyse the following issues in Gaza! A terrible warning: Gaza Will Be Forsaken . . . Recently the world watched as all the Jews in Gaza were forcibly removed from their homes and their land ... even the dead Jews were forcibly dug up from their graves and removed from Gaza. This uprooting of the Jews from Gaza which the whole world watched on the news may be a much more significant prophetic event than most realize, and the Bible warns there is more to come . . . In the book of Zephaniah, God warns Gaza would one day be forsaken (yes, that same Gaza you have recently been watching on the world news). Gaza is in the land which was given to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:1-12), and one of Messiahs titles is The Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The Bible links the forsaking of Gaza to the coming Apocalypse, which is also called The Day of Wrath and the Day of the Lords Anger. From these following passages in Zephaniah 2:1-7, God wants the children of Israel and ALL people on Earth to learn and know at least THREE (3) things . . . 1. GOD has issued a terrible warning and a plea to both the children of Israel and to all people on Earth . . . Gather yourselves together, Yes, gather together O undesirable nation (the nation who would willingly try to give Gods land to her enemies) Before the decree is issued, Before the day passes like chaff, Before the Lords fierce anger comes upon you, Before the day of the Lords anger comes upon you! Seek the Lord, all you meek of the Earth who have upheld His justice (meaning ... this warning is also for everybody on Earth!) Seek righteousness, Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden In the day of the Lords anger. (The coming Apocalypse ... the Day of the Lords Wrath) 2. GOD wants all in Israel and on Earth to know what will help trigger this fierce and terrible anger: Gaza!! He warns, Gaza will be forsaken... her inhabitants (the children of Israel) uprooted and driven out . . . For Gaza shall be forsaken, And Ashkelon desolate; They shall drive out Ashdod at noonday, And Ekron shall be uprooted. Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the Cherethites! The word of the Lord is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines (Palestinians): I [God] will destroy you So there shall be no inhabitant. (All Palestinians and their allies should take note ...) 3. GOD also wants all to know there is Hope. He promises hope for all those who will wait in faith and trust in Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach in Hebrew) ... for one-day in the future, after the coming Apocalypse ... the Day of Gods Wrath ... the terrible coming Day of the Lord a remnant of the tribe of Judah will once again peacefully inhabit and prosper in that precious land God promised and gave to them ... and then, and only then, will there be peace on Earth. For at that time, our Messiah and God will restore all the Earth in peace and beauty ... as promised. The seacoast shall be pastures, With shelters for shepherds and folds for flocks. The coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; They (the remnant of the house of Judah) shall feed there flocks there (coastlands of Gaza); In the houses of Ashkelon they shall lie down at evening. The the Lord their God will intervene for them, And return their captives. (Zephaniah 2:1-7) Yet, as noted above, the Bible warns prior to the remnant of the house of Judah returning to their land in peace, Israel (and the world) will go through a time of tribulation and testing sometimes called in the Bible the Day of Gods Wrath (the coming Apocalypse) when 2/3 in the land of Israel will be cut-off for their unbelief . . . And it shall come to pass in all the Land (Israel), says the Lord, That two-thirds of it shall be cut off and die, but one-third shall be left in it: (only one-third in Israel will survive ... even fewer in the world) I will bring the one-third through the fire, will refine them as gold is tested. They will call on my Name, and I will answer them. I will say, This is My people; and each one will say, the LORD is my God. (Zech 13:8-9) The following numbers may just be coincidental, but they are worth noting . . . 1. When Prime-Minister Sharon first asked Israels 21 member Security Council to vote on whether or not to uproot the Jews from Gaza all the Israeli news sites predicted it would be a very close vote, but the 21 member Security Councils final vote was 14 in favor of forcibly removing all Jews from Gaza and 7 against ... meaning exactly 2/3 of the nations Security Council had no faith in Gods Word that Gaza is part of Judah, Israel and only 1/3 did have faith in Gods Word that Gaza is part of Judah, Israel . . . 2. Then, when the vote went to the Israeli Knesset only 1/3 voted in favor of allowing their fellow Jews (from Judah) to stay in Gaza ... while 2/3 voted against Gods Word (by either voting against their brethren in Gaza, Judah or abstaining) . . . 3. Then later, in a poll by Haaretz (Israel), only 1/3 of the people polled in Israel showed faith in Gods Word by favoring to keep their brethren in Gaza (which is in Judah ... see Judges 1:18-20 and Joshua 14:13 - 15:13 ... then pull out a map.) An update ... The current Israeli government (under pressure from the US, EU, UN, and Russia - called the Quartet in world news reports) is also preparing to give most of the land of Judah (including Hebron) away to the enemies of Israel. let us not forget to remember, Hebron was given to Caleb (a man of faith who was blessed by God at the time of Joshua ... see Joshua 14:13-14 and Judges 1:20). Hebron is also where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are buried ... and where King David ruled before Jerusalem. Remember, there was no Palestine in the days of Jesus ... the Romans still called it Judea (Judah) ... just look at their maps and their coins ... it wasnt until after the second Jewish revolt against the Romans (over 100 years after Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew) was Crucified and Resurrected) the Romans changed the name from Judea (Judah) to Palestinia (Palestine). The Roman rulers re-named it after Israels ancient enemy the Philistines in order to try to break the Jews away from their relationship and bond to their Land of Israel. The Bible has much to say about the land of Judah and it has a lot to say about the terrible time we are now moving into . . . We find in the Bible God says what He means and He means what He says! Bible prophecies will not be fulfilled in secret, but in a way the whole world can see (if they are looking and watching.) It may be time to start taking the Bible seriously... Please remember . . . The Kingdom of Heaven is available to every man, woman, boy, and girl in this world, no matter who they are, where they live, or what they have done. It is freely offered to any and all who will receive it. Simply learn of Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah, invite Him into your life as Lord, believe He died on the Cross for all of your sins and rose from the grave (proving there is a Kingdom of Heaven ... and a Hell). Learn of Him and believe in Him . . . for He was the only one who has ever loved you enough to substitute Himself for you on the Cross. He shed His blood, suffered, and died on the Cross to save you from your sins and from the utter darkness and torment of Hell, if you will accept it, believe it, and trust in it. That is why Jesus is called Savior. He now lovingly and graciously offers you life in Heaven (and we are warned it is a take it or leave it proposition.) We have to consciously receive it and accept it in faith. If you sincerely admit you have sinned (which means you will need a Savior to get into Heaven) and ask Jesus to come into your life and honestly try to stop doing (and saying) those things God says are wrong, you will go to Heaven ... and with open arms and tears of joy He will receive all who will come to Him in faith and in love ... Its Gods Promise!!! The only unpardonable sin is to reject Gods love and His free offer of life in the Kingdom of Heaven by rejecting Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach in Hebrew) who stepped forth from Eternity (from of old, from everlasting... see Micah 5:2) ... not to condemn the sinner, but to save the sinner (from the torment of Hell) and who willingly and lovingly shed His blood on the Cross so we can be washed clean of all our sins. The Bible warns there will be no peace in our lives until we make peace with God through His Son, Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah. The Bible also says there will be no peace in Israel or on Earth until Jesus (Yeshua), the Messiah returns . . .
