about libya and the ethiopian region and all those those enemies around israel syria lebanon how they're going to come together and they're going to attack israel and what god's going to do and i believe that what's coming i read an article yesterday or the day before but it is just a matter of time now most even of our own experts our secretary of defense believes israel will attack iran within sometime between april and june it's that near when that happens now could this like i said last week could this end up just being a small skirmish and later on you know no one knows the exact timing of these things but it just seems that all the players are lining up to be involved and we'll know once it gets started who jumps into the mix and how bad it gets and how long it goes but anyway it's definitely going to happen but the questions got to be answered is why jerusalem in jerusalem jerusalem is an issue that um really is what's going to it's going to the jeru the fight over jerusalem is what's propelling this or pushing us into world war three but we need to know why and we need to know also that it's significant in prophecy because jesus said some things about it almost all the prophets of old said things about jerusalem but why why is jerusalem so important so special both to god and the devil why why is this war over this one little piece of real estate here why all this focus on this well i think we need to look at it a little closer but this will answer some of those questions i think this morning but it also show you some prophecies and let you know that see none of these things could have come to pass until 1967. 1967 in the six-day war the jews took back jerusalem and ever since then their arab neighbors and the rest of the world have been furious listen i've been there there is nothing in particularly special about that piece of land in the natural sense okay but there's some very powerful things about it and you're going to see the attention of the whole world focused on this place the next day the next 7 8 9 10 years however long we got left you're going to see the focus of the world on this city okay let's read this this is another scripture about the war that would come in the last days in israel but where zechariah 14 everybody there zechariah chapter 14 powerful passage of scripture here all right this is talking about the
second coming of jesus that's an awesome event some people don't even think we should talk about this but i i want to say this about that there are the two most significant events of history of mankind the first one i would put in in this in this order the first one would be when jesus came the first time born of a virgin died on the cross for the sins of mankind rose from the dead and then ascended to heaven and began the church i believe that was one of the most that's the most significant event is the cross of jesus christ the blood he shed on the cross to to forgive us or to give us the potential to be forgiven of our sins and to be right with god and to go to heaven forever and then the fact that he rose from the dead and all of that wonderful all of those wonderful things that happened at the cross and what how we have to respond to that but if you ask me what the second most important event of mankind would be i would have to say the last days are the events leading up to the second coming of jesus christ and his second coming i don't know how anybody can play off that this is not a significant issue when about one-third of the bible did you know this about one-third of the bible is prophecy one-third of the bible is prophecy so i don't know why people would say it's not important i guess if it's not important then jesus was wasting his time and paul was wasting his time and micah was wasting his time in zachariah and isaiah and jeremiah and ezekiel and oh my gosh in the apostle john especially to write a whole book about it they were just wasting their time if it's not important anyway just a thought zechariah 14 this is what the lord says in the last days behold the day of the lord and that's the day of the lord's wrath and judgment in the last days he said behold the day of the lord cometh and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee look at verse 2 for i will gather all nations against jerusalem to battle and the city shall be taken it shall be taken nearly completely overrun by the antichrist in the end but it says the city shall be taken and the house is rifled and the women ravished and half of the city shall go forth into captivity and the residue of the people shall shall not be cut off from the city he says then shall the lord go forth and fight against those nations as when he fought in the day of battle so this is armageddon this is when god brings all the nations of the world against jerusalem i will gather all nations against jerusalem to battle now look it says the lord shall go forth this is his second coming verse 4 it says and his feet shall stand
in that day upon the mount of olives which is before jerusalem on the east and i've stood there myself and there's still olive trees on that mountain then his feet shall stand that day upon the mount of olives which is before jerusalem on the east and in the mount of olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west there shall be a very great valley and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north and the half of it so the lord will come and look what it says let's let's drop on down we'll just keep reading verse 5 and ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains for the valley of the mountain shall reach unto azell that you shall flee like as you fled before the earthquake in the days of uzziah king of judah and the lord my god shall come now look at this and all the saints with thee so this is when jesus returns with all the saints who have been raptured i believe just moments before armageddon and all the saints are raptured and they come back with him and it shall come to pass that in that day the light shall not be cleared or dark but it shall be one day which shall be known to the lord nor day nor night but it shall come to pass that at even time it shall be light and then he talks about in that day their living waters will go forth from jerusalem so this is talking about the second coming of jesus right here but he says right before them will bring all nations against jerusalem to battle so the focus is going to be on jerusalem all right let's back up and look at chapter 12 zechariah chapter 12. this is what he says about jerusalem even further and if you don't think this is true then you don't you haven't been paying attention to the news in a while all right let's let's read this zechariah 12 and this verse one the burden of the word of the lord for israel saith the lord which stretcheth forth the heavens and lay at the foundation of the earth and forms the spirit of man within him behold i will make jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about when they shall be in siege both against judah and against jerusalem now what he's saying is when you see jerusalem surrounded a siege is when you surround a city it's when armies come against the city completely or surround it so he says when they come in siege against jerusalem he says that i will i will make jerusalem a cup of trembling you know what that means listen i want you to know this that most of the world right now is terrified that the dispute over this place called jerusalem is going to start a nuclear war that's what this is jerusalem is god's already made it a cup of trembling
i mean even people who are totally atheist agnostic unbelievers even know the problem is this place the problem is the issue between the jews and the arabs you know what we found out this week was an interesting little thing and i don't know why the arabs are so obsessed with this place i'll tell you in a minute though the main reason it's demonic but in the natural do you know how many times that jerusalem is mentioned in the quran take a guess huh 100 huh 500 you think it's mentioned 500 times in the quran hey guess what zero not once is jerusalem mentioned in the quran guess how many times in the old testament bible our bible over over 700 all right why they're obsessed with it well you'll see in a minute it's demonic okay let's keep reading though we'll read verse two again behold i will make jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about when they shall be in siege both against judah and against jerusalem look at verse 3 and in that day will i make jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people and all that burden themselves with it shall be cut into pieces though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it so you hear that in that day saith the lord i will smite every horse with astonishment and his rider with madness and i will open my eyes upon the house of judah and i will smite every horse of the people with blindness and then he just goes on to talk about how he will save the in verse seven he will save judah first but there's a lot i could read here i want you to see but i want you to turn with me now let's go to a new testament scripture go with me to luke chapter 21 hold your spot though in zechariah we may come back in a minute but luke chapter 21 see i'm going somewhere with this we'll get there in a minute luke chapter 21 are you there luke 21 verse 7 okay now concerning the end days the last days this is what they ask him verse 7 and they ask him saying master but when shall these things be and what will be the sign will be there when these things shall come to pass and this is the same passage that's in matthew 24 when he says take heed that ye be not deceived for many shall come in my name saying i am christ and the time draws near go ye not after them when you shall hear of wars and commotions be not terrified for these things must first come to pass but the
end is not by and by then he said unto them nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and great earthquake shall be in divers places famines and pestilences and fearful sights and great signs shall there be in heaven so he's talking about what will be this this is the passage or the parallel passage from matthew 24 when they ask him what will be the sign of your coming and the end of the world now he drops down and he says this in verse 20 and when you will when you shall see jerusalem compassed or surrounded with armies then know that the desolation thereof is near then he says then let them which are in judea flee to the mountains let them that are in the midst of it depart out and let them not that are in the countries enter there in two now look at verse 22 this is a key for for these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled now why is that verse important because jerusalem was surrounded by armies in 70 a.d and the temple was destroyed and many jews were killed i think the estimates they say around a million jews and the jews were dispersed to the nations and i've shared this for 1878 years the problem is some people try to say that's what jesus was talking about here that happened in 70 a.d and it's not about the end times well guess what they're wrong why because of this verse that follows it in its context for these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled all things that are written so if jesus didn't return and set up his millennial kingdom in jerusalem at that point all things are not fulfilled that are written so what jesus was talking about here was a future a future surrounding of israel by armies a future invasion but it also let us know from that point after 70 a.d because not all things were fulfilled that the jews would return to the land that israel would become a nation again and that israel would get jerusalem again because they would have to possess it for the prophecies to come to pass for all things to be fulfilled folks that this ought to just get in sink down in our heads we are living in the final years where we will see all things that are written in this bible finally be fulfilled that is an amazing thought and concept that we are watching the fulfillment of all things and that i believe definitely in my lifetime and certainly in my children's lifetime that we will see the second
coming of jesus and the fulfillment of all these things but he lets us know when you see jerusalem and guess what to be surrounded by enemies of of the jews or of god that means that the jews would have to be back in the land right means the jews would have to be back in the land they would have to be in control of jerusalem that is one of the most significant prophecies of the bible okay and when did it take place june 1967. think about that i was born in december of 1967. so that lets you know the the the end time prophecies could not have come to pass until this incident was done until that so we see jesus say and think about it when you see this war the next time israel is surrounded the next time all of their the nations around them attack them what did jesus say here let's read it again i think you need to let it sink in verse 20 and when you shall see jerusalem compassed with armies or surrounded by armies then know that the desolation thereof is nigh or near then let them which are in judea and you know where judea is that's the west bank judea samaria is the west bank that they're going to give over to the palestinians but they're going to let jews stay in there that want to live there well guess what when the antichrist invades that region if you're a jewish person jesus says you better get out of judea if you have to flee to the mountains because they're going to try to kill all the jews in that region it's going to be rough he said then let them with your judea flee to the mountains let them that are in the midst depart out verse 22 for these be the days of vengeance that all things which are written may be fulfilled but woe unto them that are with child to them that give suck in those days for there shall be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people he said and then they shall fall by the edge of the sword they shall be led away captive into all nations and jerusalem shall be chodden down of the gentiles until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled now this is a clear reference to jerusalem being trodden down by the antichrist matter of fact it gives us it gives us an example of that in revelation 11 and it says that that they will rebuild the temple the temple will be measured out but the outside will be given to the gentiles until the fulfillment of that so we know that that's talking about all the way to the end okay revelation 11 1-2
now i want to show you something you want to know why let's say why why is the devil obsessed with this piece of land now i shared one reason last week and i'm going to give you a few number one the devil is obsessed with jerusalem and israel and wiping the jewish people off the face of the map because they are a fulfillment of prophecy they prove the bible to be true and because of their very existence in the land and controlling jerusalem the prophecies of the bible can come to pass because the devil knows not one jot or one till of god's word will falter so he's he he always tries to thwart the plan of god so if he could wipe out the jewish people take over the land of israel he in his mind he believes that he could stop the second coming of jesus and let things continue on in his existence continue on so it's a matter of self-preservation for the devil it's his last shot it's his last opportunity it's his it's his final plan that's why he stirred up hitler that's why he stirred up the islam to hate the jews that's why he stirred up anti-semitism across the world that's why even now he's he stirred up you know ahmadinejad to want to wipe israel off the face of the map he wants to stop god's plan but isn't that just like him anyway in our lives he's always trying somehow to thwart the plan of god now one thing about the jews is like us we got to be stubborn like the jews they like they're not moving there's old bugs bunny cartoon where bugs bunny has his little home his little hole in the ground and a little construction guys trying to build a highway through there and he keeps trying to move bugs bunny and it doesn't work bugs bunny says i i ain't moving and you can't make me move smarty pants and that's the way they are there's like this is our home this is our homeland we're not moving so the first reason is and i shared that last week but i wanted to repeat it the devil wants to stop the plan of god the prophecies the second coming of jesus so he is out to destroy the jewish people the jewish homeland and take it over and he's going to almost succeed you hear me and jesus will return at that moment when it looks like all hope is lost for the jewish people most of them will die a remnant will be saved and a remnant of them will turn back to jesus as their messiah that's all in the end of book the book of zechariah all right why is this important well i think we need to know but let's let's look at something else turn with me go to second chronicles this is something that's very interesting some of you may already know this but go to second chronicles
second chronicles chapter six god said something about jerusalem you know what he said about jerusalem i'll let you turn there we'll find out ii chronicles chapter 6. another reason the devil wants this land this is when solomon is praying and dedicating the temple look at chapter 6 verse 1 then said solomon the lord hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness but i have built a house of habitation for thee in a place for thy dwelling forever and the king turned his face and blessed the whole congregation of israel and all the congregation of israel stood and he said blessed be the lord god of israel who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father david saying since the day that i brought forth my people out of the land of egypt i chose no city among all the tribes of israel to build a house in that my name might be there neither chose i any man to be ruler over my people israel but i have chosen jerusalem that i might be there that that my name might be there and i have chosen david to be over my people israel do you see that the lord says he never chose a city he never chose a place but he said of jerusalem but i have chosen jerusalem that my name might be there now this is not the only place in the bible this is but he said that my name might be there how many of you know that god's name is literally there do y'all know about that god said he would put his name there now some people might think that that's just symbolic or spiritual and you know in a sense i guess it is god could say it's my city i've put my name there it's for my people it's what i'm going to do for generation to generation and how many of you know i mean the bible tells us the end of the story where does jesus come back to jerusalem where does jesus rule and reign from jerusalem where are all the nations during the millennial reign going to be required to come and worship jerusalem jerusalem is going to be the focal point of the kingdom of jesus christ in the end throughout the millennial reign and then forever so he's put his name there and god's serious about it right but he's put his name there literally now i'm going to show you something here let's go to the next slide this is the hebrew alphabet okay
and we're going to look at particularly one word here or one letter i should say shin does everybody know you guys ought to know a little bit well anyway this is the this is the letter that represents the name of god el shaddai or the god almighty and with that up there with these right up here yad which is where you get yahweh from so this is the symbol or the letter that represents the very name of the god of israel okay you see that i'm going to put it up a little bit bigger here pretty interesting isn't it looks kind of like a w but it's not all right now here's what's interesting let's look at the next one this overlooks this is an aerial view of the the temple mount you see it right there in blue there's three main little valleys that run through there the hinnon valley the i guess tyro ponyon or whatever valley and of course the kidron valley this is mount mount olives over here this is where jesus will set his feet down right here but if you see this these valleys cut what they cut the very letter of god's name here's what's interesting the tops of the letter the mountain over here that pinpoints the top of this valley over here is mount zion where god's presence came down where david had the ark the next point is mount moriah where abraham went to offer isaac the next mountain over on this side is the mount of olives in it interesting three pinnacle points three mountains we'll take another look at another par another view of this that just shows you a little bit there's the temple mount literally that letter shin god's name drove it into valleys of the mountains of israel now here's a beautiful beautiful phrase within the mountains of israel there in those valleys god's name is engraved all right it's beautiful god knows what he's doing here's another view just to see it this was a sketch done a long time ago okay see mount zion i've been there mount moriah i've been there at mount olives i've been there so i know it's true okay now let's look at this verse i'll put a couple of verses up now look at this psalm 125 verse 2. think about this as the mountains are round about jerusalem what mountains is he talking about we just name them those three mountains
as the mountains are round about jerusalem so the lord is around about his people henceforth forever why because he why is he referring to those mountains because he's referring to where he etched his name all right because what does he say here the name of the lord is a strong tower and the righteous run into it are safe look at that as the mountains around jerusalem so the lord's around his people as protection he connects the mountains of jerusalem to his name in scripture this is another reason why the devil wants that piece of land because he wants to desecrate the name of the lord that's why every king and every warlord and everybody's wanted to control jerusalem right there why do you think that the second commandment is thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy god in vain what does the devil always do take something of god he wants to desecrate it that's what this is about right here now god said i will put my name there right so that's another reason why the devil wants jerusalem are y'all catching this pretty powerful isn't it that blew my mind when i started seeing this and this is this is not just different i mean this is information many people have pointed this this out for many years i've just but i've only recently heard it that god's name is there now let's go back a little bit let's go back one more time y'all want me to really blow your mind why this little piece of real estate why did god put his name there you know the jews believe the uh religious jews believe that the dust that was taken the dirt was taken to make adam was taken from these mountains here all right don't know if that's true but that's what they believe but god put his name here now goodness where was i about to go what did i just say huh i don't know just my my mind went blank for a second
ah yes that's that's it i want you to go with me go to genesis chapter 14. just to give you one more little nugget about jerusalem before we move on genesis chapter 14 is when abraham rescues lot okay lots taken captive by the kings of sodom and gomorrah the five kings of the region i'm not going to read all that but anyway he goes out and fights this war and he rescues lot look at go down to verse 17. and the king of sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of kedor lamar or whatever of the of the kings that were with him in the valley of shava which is the king's dale now look at verse 18 and melchizedek king of salem brought forth bread and wine now salem was the ancient name of jerusalem okay it says that melchizedek king of salem brought forth bread and wine and he was the priest of the most high god and he blessed him and said blessed be abram of the most high god possessor of heaven and earth and he blessed and and blessed be the most high god which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand and he gave him tithes of all so that is the story of when abraham meets this mysterious character named melchizedek okay says he's the priest of the most high god and he dwelt in salem or jerusalem he dwelt there and he was the priest of the most high god he came out and blessed abraham i believe the bread and wine was communion i'll share that in a minute but he came out and he blessed abraham and then abraham gave him tithes of all now paul talks about this now let's go to hebrews chapter 7. hebrews 7. i believe paul was the writer of hebrews some scholars want to argue that but i believe it was him i believe there's enough evidence to to believe it was him but regardless it was one of them all right you gotta remember paul was a hebrew scholar all right let's read this starting at verse one plus he had direct revelation and i don't even know why there's any argument about melchizedek after reading this i don't know why theologians argue
this point because i'm sorry it's god melchizedek was god and i believe a manifestation i believe is jesus all right look what he says about this verse one for this melchizedek king of salem priest of the most high who met abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him to whom abraham gave a tenth part of all first being by interpretation the king of righteousness and after that also king of salem which is the king of peace so he ruled from salem jerusalem without father without mother without descent having neither beginning of days nor end of life but made like unto the son of god abides a priest continually who lived in jerusalem all the way back in genesis jesus christ before he took on a human body and died on the cross for our sins he was here see he's eternally existent in the beginning was the word the word was with god and the word was god christ has always been here all things were made by him without him was not anything made that was made jesus christ god almighty dwelt when he came to earth when he decided to hang out among us back then all the way back in genesis 14. when he decided to hang out with man he lived in jerusalem and everyone in the area knew that he was the listen to the title king of righteousness is there any man that could possess that title the king of peace what is jesus the prince of peace he's the king of kings and the lord of lords why do you think that after this god at some point departed from that region melchizedek departed this is powerful y'all you're going to understand something here when melchizedek departed at some point the jebusites the canaanites moved in and took over jerusalem that's why you see and this is what a thousand years or more later when david comes in you have to understand david had a revelation from god about the melchizedek priesthood and he understood that why do you think david was obsessed with driving the jebusites out of jerusalem out of mount zion and making that his home
because he knew this is where god had dwelled so david becomes king over in hebron for seven years when the people finally anointing king over all of israel he moves and takes jerusalem drives the jebusites out makes it his home brings the ark of the covenant into his backyard without a veil and worships before it even though he's not a levite why it's where god had dwelt before and god had revealed it to him that is why satan hates jerusalem he hates mount zion he hates mount moriah he hates this place and i'll tell you another reason yes you want another reason not just because god had lived there but because the blood of jesus christ was shed there that blood was on that ground from the via dolorosa that road he carried the cross on where they beat him where they hung him on that cross the blood of god had gone down into that ground into that dirt don't tell me it's it's not important to god or the devil that is why this jerusalem is the issue here's another little tidbit a little side road for you psalm 110 david's of the tribe of judah but of course we know now god and god told him later that from you will come the messiah when the word when it came time for the word christ to become flesh the flesh side would be from david so the priest of the most high god the high priest jesus christ the high priest when he decided to take on a body would come through the lineage of king david okay so god this is good here y'all listen god made david a priest after the order of melchizedek which is why david could take the ephod could take the ark in his backyard and not be killed david was special see what david this is why the psalms are so powerful you know why the psalms are so powerful for us today because it was a man who was living in new
testament reality in new testament presence in new testament relationship with god in the old testament before it happened because let me just blow your mind guess what the bible says in revelation the lamb was slain before the foundation of the world what does that mean the lamb was slain before the family meaning in god see this is something we have a hard time comprehending within god almighty there is no such thing as time he is the end he is the beginning he is everything time was created for us time doesn't exist in him so everything in him is done whether it be past future or present it's all finished so the lamb in god's in ear within god the lamb was slain before he ever even created the world so what happens is that god at any point even before the cross could manifest new testament reality i'll tell you who had it there were only two men that got to experience new testament relationship and reality with god abraham and david both through this melchizedek priesthood all right now why am i saying all this i know some of this may be a little a little deep and a little strange for a sunday morning because we really need to realize the gospel you know in john 8 says the gospel was preached to abraham the gospel was preached abraham what wait a minute abraham was a long long time before the gospel came right no not what jesus said jesus said before abraham was i am didn't he say that a clear declaration of him being god right there by his own lips before abraham was i am the same name that he revealed to moses i am okay before abraham was i am then he said these words and johnny abraham rejoiced to see my day he saw it oh and was glad when was the gospel preached to abraham i believe when melchizedek came out see
in the old covenant there's no bread and wine i mean why did he bring out bread and wine and bless abraham see melchizedek came out and this is what i believe happened melchizedek came out this king of jerusalem this king of righteousness this king of peace this high priest of the most high god without mother or father without beginning of days or end of life this being walks out sits down with abraham and he goes let me tell you my real name the name that's not to be revealed yet yeshua jesus and i believe he sat down with abraham and explained like he did with his disciples what the bread and the wine represented and he shared with abraham the gospel and he showed abraham into the future everything that would happen abraham saw my day he showed abraham everything and that boy that is how awesome our god is see you're going to hear in the days ahead and i'm going to finish with this you're going to hear in the days ahead a lot of baloney a lot of arguments about who should control jerusalem the arabs argue and they should control it the un's going to argue they should control it the roman catholic church is going to argue that they should control it all of this clamor about jerusalem that's going to lead to world war iii and lead to the second coming of jesus but one thing we need to know god is still loves that place he still loves those people turn to one more passage go to romans chapter 10. i i just really can't stand when people start trying to say the jewish people are irrelevant it's only about the church no friend the wild olive branch is not to boast itself against the natural one all right but i want to read this right here look what paul prayed verse 1 he said brethren my heart's desire and prayer to god for israel is that they might be saved for i bear them record that they have a zeal of god but not according to knowledge now i want you to go on down just drop down a little bit
oh chapter 11. he says as i say then has has god cast away his people god forbid for i am also an israelite of the seed of abraham of the tribe of benjamin god has not cast away his people which he foreknew what you not this what the scripture saith of elijah how he made intercession to god against israel saying lord they have killed your prophets and dig down your altars and i am left alone and they seek my life but what saith the answer of god unto him i have reserved to myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the need to the image of baal even so at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace and if by grace it is no more works but then he just goes on to say god i just want to say god has not forsaken them i'm not going to read it all but why do i bring this up you can know when you see army surround jerusalem again that all things are about to be fulfilled jesus is about to come the judgment of all the world's about to come the question we got to ask ourselves number one are we ready are we really ready are our sins forgiven do we love god with all of our heart soul mind and strength do we love god more than this world do we love god more than sin and and lust and money and do we love jesus more than anything else have we asked him to forgive us of our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness have we decided to take up our cross and follow him are we really really ready for that day some are not going to live through that day when that wrath begins to fall some will not live through that day some will the question is are we ready this is also something guys that you can take and show people two thousand years ago go back to zechariah even longer 25 2600 years ago god said in the end the jews would be back in their land they would possess jerusalem and then all the armies of the world and the nations around them would come against them to battle everything you're seeing in the news is happening in front of your face how long will you not believe the bible how long will you not repent of your sins and let jesus wash you and cleanse you how long will you resist god and and it's all happening in front of your face there is so much we have to show people so share these things share these scriptures share these prophecies share these fulfillments with people because world war three is coming i assure you
