A @Christadelphians Video: Description: When we look at the turmoil in the Middle East at the moment, and the increase in antisemitism, we wonder shall there ever be true peace? The Bible shows that Israel is at the centre of God’s plan for peace. They are His witnesses and His people, despite their chequered past. He made great promises to Abraham who a man who believed God, and we too can be part of those promises if we develop that same faith.
In this timely discussion, we examine the ongoing turmoil in Israel and Palestine through the lens of Bible prophecy, revealing how current events align with Scripture’s foretold future. From the reestablishment of Israel to the prophetic battles foretold in Ezekiel and Daniel, we explore how God’s ultimate plan culminates in the return of Jesus Christ—bringing lasting peace to a troubled world.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]2 Chronicles 32 tells of Sennacherib's attack upon Israel and Judah. The year is BC 709. God has made provision for the defence of Jerusalem during a siege by its geography and the water course from outside the city to be secreted and channelled beneath the city emerging from the Gihon (the "Virgins' Fountain") to the Pool of Siloam. Hezekiah completes this magnificent engineering feat (one can walk its length today beneath Jerusalem). King Hezekiah has armed the people well, but more importantly he has fortified the faith of the nation. Sennacherib comes and blasphemes Yahweh, the living God. The general
of the Assyrians seeks to undermine the courage of the defenders by speaking directly in Hebrew to the soldiers and people on the wall. Hezekiah makes it a matter of prayer to the Almighty. So, the invaders are doomed for it is not Judah who they will fight but their Almighty Sovereign. They fall in the siege not to shoot a single arrow. Overnight 185,000 Assyrians are slain. An added complication is that at this time king Hezekiah is fatally stricken with leprosy. God heals the faithful king and adds 15 years to Hezekiah's life (his prayer in Isaiah 38 should be read to appreciate his desperation and his gratitude). Many nations bring gifts on Hezekiah's recovery including ambassadors from Babylon. Sadly, king Hezekiah becomes lifted up in pride and shows the ambassadors what was to become Babylon's lure to destroy Jerusalem in about 100 years (see 2 Kings 20verses12-19 and meditate on the lessons Paul draws from this in 1 Timothy 6verses17-19.
Daniel 12 explains to us of the time of the end when Michael (one like God) - the Lord Jesus Christ - stands up. It will be a 'time of trouble such as has never been'. But God's people will be delivered and the wise will shine as the stars (cp Matthew 13verses43). The understanding of the signs of the times would be concealed until the end time. From verses 5-12 Daniel is given a sequence of time periods which culminate in our era. Daniel himself is assured personally that at that time he would receive eternal life (cp Philippians 3verses7-11).
We are told of the selection of Barnabas and Paul by God to undertake preaching as representatives of the ecclesia in Antioch in Syria. This chapter speaks of Saul's name being changed to Paul - meaning "little"; since he now saw himself in that way (see 1 Corinthians 15verses9). We see that Barnabas and Saul were chosen from a very select group of believers. Barnabas and Paul first sail to Cyprus - quite possibly where Barnabas has connections (he sold his land and business). It was here that the Apostles were aided by God in the face of a powerful enemy. From verses 13-52 we read of the Apostles' journeys to Perga and to Antioch in Pisidia. Antioch was in the mountainous region of Turkey. Paul appears to have been sick at this time. Ramsay speculates that it was perhaps malaria. Paul's address in the synagogue at Antioch is masterful and contains many echoes from Stephen's defence in Acts 7. In addition to bringing salient points from Israel's history to the fore - especially those which focus on the coming Messiah - Paul shows how the Scriptures (in particular Psalm 2; Psalm 16 and Isaiah 55) reveal that Christ would die and be raised to eternal life. Through the Lord Jesus Christ forgiveness of sins would be granted to those believing and accepting God's offer. The next Sabbath the entire city comes to hear Paul's message. The Jews stir up opposition and are denounced by Paul, who declares that from now on Paul and Barnabas would preach to the Gentiles. The Apostles left Antioch shaking the dust from their feet as the Lord Jesus had commanded his disciples to do in Matthew 10verses14).

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]The priests are organised by Hezekiah in 2 Chronicles 31 for the tithes from the offerings of the people. And a census of the priests from 3 years old is made. From the tithes the distribution is
apportioned by numbers and by needs. Read verses 20-21 aloud - pause and ponder - "with all his heart".
Alexander the Great (Goat) was the great Grecian king that did according to his will. Alexander dies in a drunken stupor in Babylon in BC321. Leaving no heir Alexander leaves his four generals to divide his Empire between them. Two dominant contestants emerged among them - Ptolemy, whose territory was south of the Holy Land; and Seleucis, whose territory was northeast of Israel (called Coel Syria). Chapter 11 focusses on the wars and intrigues between ‘the King of the North' and 'the King of the South'. These two powers contest the ownership of the Holy Land, which soon became part of the territory of the Seleucid Empire. In 171 BC Antiochus Epiphanes comes to power in the north and desecrates the Temple in Jerusalem by offering a pig on the altar. In BC 168 the family of the high priest Matthias Maccabeus revolt and expel the Grecians. The exploits of this heroic and faithful family are described in Daniel 11 (and the non-inspired apocryphal books of 1 and 2 Maccabees - also recommended reading for those who want to learn more of this era is "My Glorious Brothers" by Howard Fast. This author won a Nobel Prize for literature for this book. Also thoroughly recommended reading for Daniel 11 is the book "Exposition of Daniel" by John Thomas). Verses 31-35 of Daniel 11 describe the love for their God of the Maccabean family and the help God gives them in casting out of Israel the profaners of the Almighty's holy Land. For almost 100 years the Maccabean dynasty rule Israel. Firstly, under Judas Maccabeus (until he was betrayed by the Jews for money) and then by his brother Simon, and Simon's successors. The time of the end is developed in verses 40-45 when the northern confederacy, headed by Russia will occupy Constantinople - modern day Istanbul - and will attack the glorious land (Israel) and these enemies will perish at the hand of Yahweh Tzvaoth.
Acts 11 commences with Peter being caused to justify why he baptised Gentiles. We next have a description of the progress of the truth in Antioch in the province of Syria, where believers were first derisively called 'Christians'. One of these faithful believers is a prophet named Agabus. He prophesies of a great famine that would affect the entire Roman world. The disciples of Antioch start a fund to help Judean believers, who were greatly affected and in dire need. In Acts 12 Herod Antipas kills the Apostle James - the year was AD 44. Seeing how much this delighted the Jews Herod has Peter arrested for execution after Passover. Despite being securely chained between guards the angel of the Lord causes a deep sleep to overcome the guards and releases Peter. Peter proceeds to the house where the ecclesia is gathered to pray for his deliverance. A maid named Rhoda answers the door and runs to tell the disciples that Peter was outside. Rhoda is told that she must be mistaken. The disciples say that it must be Peter's "messenger" (Greek angelos- angel). Peter is admitted to the house and he recounts how he had been delivered. James, the half-brother of Jesus. was informed and told Peter to secretly depart to a different location where he cannot be found. Herod kills the guards (verses 20-23). The chapter concludes with an account of Herod's narcissistic claims and his being smitten with dysentery by the angel of God and Herod dying verses 20-23. Nonetheless the Word of God exceedingly prevails.
