Returning to Israel

We are living in the last days that Jesus and all the prophets spoke about. The Apostle Paul thought that they were living in the last days and that their time was very short. But, this time, the time we are living in, this is IT. These are THE LAST DAYS!

There are just so many signs, it would take a list as long as my arm to innumerate them. And they are ALL HAPPENING.

Another sign is that the Jews will return to Israel and rebuild their temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. AND MANY JEWISH PEOPLE WILL RECEIVE JESUS AS THEIR MESSIAH! God's Holy Spirit will be poured out on His original chosen people.

However, once a Jew becomes a Christian, there is no longer a need for him to worship in the traditional Jewish way and no longer a need for animal sacrifices or keeping the Jewish laws.

That brand new temple in Jerusalem will be an affront to the Messiah, Jesus. He will NOT appreciate it AT ALL. He will allow it to be destroyed by her enemies during the reign of the Antichrist. That's why Jesus warned us in Matthew 24:

15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

[The Jews are gathering into Israel now, but as soon as they see that terrible thing placed in the temple and the Daily Sacrifice taken away, they are warned to FLEE!]

17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

[If you have a house in Jerusalem, leave it all behind! Here's a little financial planning for those who believe in the Bible: owning a home in Israel is A BAD INVESTMENT AT THIS TIME.]

I seriously believe this is a WARNING FROM GOD to all those who plan to visit or live in Israel in these days. Be prepared to FLEE! Have your boots at the door because Jerusalem is where the Antichrist will begin his reign of terror. This is not a joke. It is coming soon!

Jesus goes on to prophecy and warn us in great detail about this one situation and the location is clearly Jerusalem because that is where the "Holy Place" will be when the temple is built.

18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

[WHAT? You won't even have time to get your clothes? Not even a jacket?]

19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

[I mean, this is a lot of detailed warning, don't you think? Right out of the mouth of Jesus.]

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

The building of the temple in Jerusalem is going to draw a LOT of people. And, thank God, a lot of those people are going to receive Jesus as their personal Saviour. So, this whole thing about the temple being built will have some good effects, drawing people together to pray, etc.

However, sacrificing animals to God is an abomination in itself, because ONE SACRIFICE has been made and Jesus is the Lamb that was sacrificed for our redemption.

It's going to seem like a wonderful time for the Jews. And, for those who receive Jesus, it will be a wonderful time. But, the mask must be ripped off this self-righteous worship of works in the end. And then, the worst evil of all the history of mankind will be released upon the followers of Christ. What's happening now with ISIS beheading, crucifying, raping and torturing Christians is just the beginning. Nevertheless, it IS the beginning of our travailing in the birth pangs of the return of our Lord.

When the building of the temple begins, it will usher in the LAST SEVEN YEARS!
