THE TRIBULATION |
. |
|
Many Christians are very conscious of the ominous
prediction in the Bible that things will one day, at the end of time, go
very wrong. And they know that this time is referred to as the TRIBULATION.
Most, however, don't think that it will affect them and don't contemplate
ways to safeguard themselves. Others, especially Christians who know they
would be targeted because of their uncompromising stand on the bible, are
not all that worried about the Tribulation, because they bargain on being
taken out alive and bodily before things get too bad at the so-called RAPTURE.
In general Christians' interest in END-TIME teachings is mostly centered
on WHEN this Rapture might take place - with the hope that they will survive
until that time -- not that all Christians, of course, agree with the Rapture
doctrine, and they have more of a wait-and-see attitude.
What state of affairs could be regarded as Tribulation? Generally, it's a
scenario where specific groups of people are persecuted, a condition that
has been around throughout the ages as certain groups were being targeted.
That was tribulation for them, but End-Time TRIBULATION will be more widespread
because it will be aimed at the masses that don't agree with those in power
or are disqualified because of their beliefs, agenda, grouping, associations,
etc. All religions will be targeted and dicriminated against as we already
see in France and even North America where reference to the God of Israel
and his Son is being banned in public. Muslims are also targeted due to Islam
being such a fertile breeding ground for terrorism. What we need to establish
is,

What will TRIGGER It?
An answer to the
"What"
question will also indicate with considerable accuracy
"When" it will happen, because the
"When" will follow the
"What."
We will know from the fact that people groups will be subjected to impossible
demands and regulations, people will disappear or be rounded up, will try
to hide or flee, like the Jews in Europe during World War II.
What will trigger mass action against
people? As we see it, the
trigger
could be something Israel will need to do to her neighbors that will cause
the nations to turn against her, viz. (1) a collapse of the Temple Mount
in which the mosques on it get badly damaged or destroyed, followed by a
refusal of the Jews to allow the restoration of the structures, or (2) one
or more of Israel's neighbors firing fastly destructive missiles at her that
will necessitate knocking out these neighbors to stop them from firing the
missiles. We have explained how this could come about in our
"Prophetic Wakeup
Call!"
In addition, one only needs to mention the tremendous increase in anti-Semitism
worldwide, most worrisome of which, that in
Europe. Arutz Sheva News Service reported on
May 23, 2003: In France hate crimes quadrupled in 2002, with over
half of the attacks aimed at Jews. The outbreak of the Oslo War (Intifada)
in late 2000 sparked a wave of anti-Semitic incidents worldwide, with Europe's
largest number of anti-Semitic attacks occurring in France. Attacks in Great
Britain rose by 75% last year as well.
A European Union-sponsored survey showing the extent
of anti-Israeli sentiment in Europe has many people in Israel quite worried.
The poll surveyed 7,500 people, 500 in each of the 15 EU member states. They
were presented with a list of 15 countries, and were asked if these countries
present a threat to world peace. Israel was rated "yes" by the highest
|

number of respondents, almost 59%. Arutz
Sheva News Service Nov. 4, 2003.
The anti-Semitism mentioned above is based on the "limited action" Israel
actually so far needed to take to safeguard her citizens against terrorist
acts by the "POOR" (so-called) Palestinians. One shudders to think what reaction
there would be in the nations when Israel is forced to wipe out a large number
of Arabs. Large scale persecution will erupt against Jews in the nations,
including people groups like Christians who are known to support them. And
while "THEY" are at it, they will also go after others who don't fit into
their mould.
Who are "THEY," the BAD
Guys?
Let's limit ourselves to narrowing "THEM" down to leaders
in leading nations who conspire to control the world, whether they be royalty,
presidents, politicians, government officials and departments, intelligence
services, institutions, business tycoons, clergy, secretive organizations,
etc.
In other words, NATIONALISM, replaced by INTER-NATIONALISM
or GLOBALISM. It's nothing new in the world, since it was already what the
Tower of
Babel
was all about, that would be tried over
and over by others - as the Prophet Daniel pointed out, ending in our day
with the resurrected Roman Empire.
For that reason, in our opinion, the U. S. A must go
down and Europe must go up. It explains why American presidents seem to do
what's best globally as against nationally. It causes political leaders to
seem to be fighting for the enemy as we see with Israeli leaders, viz., as
stated by Dr. Aaron Lerner in Imra-Digest, Nov. 29 2001:
Instead of being
fired for knowingly hurting Israel's position, we have Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres openly attacking/attempting to undermine Israel's negotiating
position. |

Shimon Peres' "selling out" of Israel is typical of
leftist Israeli leaders, from the inception of the State of Israel, including
Ben Gurion and Golda Meir. Most baffling, however, is the way Israeli generals
try to give away all the land they had fought for when they become politicians.
Under them. the most famous, Yitzchak Rabin, Ehud Barak, Avram Mitzna and
now also Arial Sharon. Barry Chamish
<chamish@netvision.net.il>
writes about Sharon in his "NOTES FROM THE UNDERWORLD." (Jan 16,
2004):
How long must we hammer
in the same message: OLMERT, like Sharon, is totally compromised by the Council
for Foreign Relations (CFR) and does its bidding?
Reports surfaced
that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's diplomatic policies were being run more
in tandem with American dictates than with Israeli Cabinet decisions. Middle
East Newsline (MENL) reported that Sharon pledged to the United States that
he would help establish an interim Palestinian state in 2004, regardless
of whether the Palestinian Authority ends terrorism and eliminates terrorist
infrastructures.
[NB. Most of Israel's
Prime Ministers happen to be high ranking Freemasons - just look at the line-up
at PM Rabin's funeral to see what we mean -- especially international figures
who had no official reason to attend, like Prince Charles. Zionsake

What the so-called PEACE PROCESS is
all about, is to conform Israel in power and size to a standard that could
be controllable in a GLOBAL constellation of nations. Actually "THEY" would
prefer for Israel not to exist at all, since the demon forces that oppose
the God of Israel, know they don't have a chance to foil HIS plans with HIS
Inheritance,
Israel.
To CONFORM, Israel must make the most damaging concessions any nation can
make, namely, give up territory - territory they have lived on for most of
4 millennia. What we mean is reflected by the following:
Europe and the Saudis pressed ahead with an initiative
for bringing Israel into the European Union and NATO as a full member in
return for its withdrawal to pre-1967 war lines and a settlement evacuation
plan. DEBKAfile Special Analysis
http://www.gamla.org.il/english February 5, 2004 |
One after the other, Israeli
leaders seem to make a total about turn by making concessions to the detriment
of their nation. With some, like Shimon Peres, it's willingly because they
are part of the globalist agenda, while others have to be coerced into towing
the line - mostly by threatening to withdraw loan guarantees.

WHAT, HOWEVER, WILL HAPPEN IF ISRAEL IS FORCED TO
TAKE UNILATERAL ACTION against the Arabs that would foil the plans of the
international community to destroy Israel or to prevent her from becoming
too strong for "THEM" to control?
A power vacuum will be created in the Middle East that
Israel, the victors, will be able to utilize to become the controlling power
in the region - basically only the Turks and Iranians (Persians), [non-Arabs],
will be left, and they will need the line-up of the allies we see in Ezekiel
38-39 (Armageddon) to try to bring down Israel.
Instead of lining up against the State of Israel straight
away the nations and people groups in the nations will turn on the Jews closest
to them, their fellow citizens, including gentiles known to be sympathetic
to Israel - mainly Christians. This, as we've already pointed out, will
in our view TRIGGER widespread TRIBULATION.
WHERE to RUN TO?
Ironically, and incredibly so, churches that do talk
about end-times (escatology) and biblical end-time prophets, concentrate
all their speculation on when the RAPTURE will be, none on what will cause
it to erupt. Consequently, nothing is also done to prepare Christians for
whatever TRIBULATION they will have to go through. Needless to say, no church
leader can tell them where to run to.
- |
|

Another irony, is that some Christians have for years been involved with
planning and preparing escape routes, safe houses, etc. for Jews from the
nations. The reason, of course, why planning to RESCUE Jews can be done,
is because Israel has been there for them to run to since 1948.
Contrary to Jews, Christians are not planning their own escape from TRIBULATION
because they don't know where to run to. They don't know that ISRAEL is there
for them to run to AS WELL, because they know so little about the God of
Israel's plans with his land and his Jews. Most just see hardship for the
Jews until the remaining few are saved by their Messiah during the Armageddon
war. Few have noticed the words
"in peace," "unwalled
villages," "living in such confidence,"
"rich" and "earth revolves
around them" describing their status quo when the nations attack
them in the Armageddon War.
Ezek 38:8 "'A long time
from now you will be called to action. In distant years you will swoop down
onto the land of Israel that will be lying in
peace
(in
safety - NIV)
after the return of its people from many lands...11 You will have said, "Israel
is an unprotected land of unwalled
villages! I will
march against her and destroy these people living in such
confidence! 12
I will go to those once-desolate cities that are now filled with people
again-those who have returned from all the nations-and I will capture vast
amounts of loot and many slaves. For the people are rich
with cattle now,
and the whole earth revolves around
them!"
 TLB |
"earth revolves around them" - the literal
translation is: "at the
center of the world" -- implying that Israel will have a say in everything
happening in the nations.

Christians fail to grasp the advantage and significance of having become
"GRAFTED IN" into and being "PART" of the "COMMONWEALTH OF ISRAEL."
Rom 11:17 But some of
these branches from Abraham's tree, some of the Jews, have been broken off.
And you Gentiles who were branches from, we might say, a wild olive tree,
were grafted
in. So now you, too,
receive the blessing God has promised Abraham and his children, sharing in
God's rich nourishment of his own special olive tree. TLB
Eph 2:11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh--who are
called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh
by hands-- 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from
the commonwealth of Israel
and strangers from
the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near
by the blood of Christ. NKJV |
The concept in Eph 2:12,
"strangers from the covenants
of promise" is not limited to spiritual salvation, since the God of
Israel's covenant with his people, including the "wild" olive branches that
are grafted in, also entails a place to live in safety and prosperity. That
non-Jewish believers are to share in the Promised land is clearly born out
in the following statements: |

Isa 14:1
But the Lord will have mercy on the Israelis; they are still his special
ones. He will bring them back to settle once again in the land of Israel.
And many nationalities will come and join them there and be their
loyal allies [contrary to the Arabs who want
to take their inheritance from
them]. 2 The
nations of the world will help them to return, and those coming to
live in their land will serve
them. Those enslaving
Israel will be enslaved-Israel shall rule her enemies! TLB
The Torah repeats the command 36 times that Jews must help any non-Jew
who dwells in peace in the land of Israel. David Bedein, Israel Resource
News Agency.
2 Chron 30:25 Then the people of Judah, together with the priests, the Levites,
the foreign
residents, and the visitors
from Israel, were filled with deep joy. TLB
Ezek 47:21 "You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to
the tribes of Israel. 22 You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves
and for the aliens who have settled among you and who have children.
You are to consider them as native-born
Israelites; along with
you they are to be allotted an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. 23
In whatever tribe the alien settles, there you are to give him his
inheritance," declares
the Sovereign LORD. NIV
Rom 9:23 And he has a right to take others such as ourselves, who
have been made for pouring the riches of his glory into, whether we are Jews
or Gentiles, and to be
kind to us so that everyone can see how very great his glory is. 25 Remember
what the prophecy of Hosea says? There God says that he will find
other children for himself (who are not from his Jewish
family) and will love
them, though no one had ever loved them before. 26 And the heathen, of whom
it once was said, "You are not my people," shall be called "sons of the Living
God." TLB |

From these scriptures it is abundantly clear that "foreigners" are just as
welcome to settle in the Promised Land as Jews are. [as long, of course,
as they are loyal allies as stated above in Isa 14:1].
Jehovah already set this "trend" in his instructions to Abraham about the
circumcision:
Gen 17:11 the foreskin
of his penis shall be cut off. This will be the proof that you and they accept
this covenant. 12 Every male shall be circumcised on the eighth day after
birth. This applies to every foreign-born slave as well as to everyone
born in your household.
This is a permanent part
of this contract, and it applies to all your posterity. TLB |
Whereas Jehovah automatically included foreigners in the Jewish nation
via the circumcision, citizenship in Israel in our day is strictly limited
to Jews by means legislation. Israel is accommodating a large number of foreign
workers in spite of the presence of the hoards of Arabs in the country. This,
of course, because of the Arabs' terrorist activities. This need for foreign
workers will continue in future, and increase by millions in the near future
(in our view) when the Arab's militancy leads to their elimination from the
country.
Be ready therefore, Israel is going to need large numbers of immigrants,
especially when vast tracks of land become available due to the disappearance
of the Arabs.

Holy Land Inc.'s strategy
to facilitate
IMMIGRATION
It is to enable prospective immigrants to explore the Holy Land the way Abra(ha)m
did, setting up camp from place to place. We will therefore set up camps
and acquire campers, caravans, mobile homes, tents and accessories and amenities
as capital becomes available. Soon, however, permanent structures will follow;
ablution blocks, community centers, service centers; eventually, permanent
homes!!
 |
|
As on the Holy Land
Camping website, we would like to invite pioneers, Jewish & Christian,
to contact
 HOLY LAND INC. to become partners in
the project, or even just to express support. It will be heartwarming and
a tremendous encouragement to hear from you. Contact us in Israel at telephone |
