Afghanistan and Prophecy
What does this horrible situation in Afghanistan have to do with Bible prophecy?
In the time I have been learning Bible prophecy, I learned that somehow power will be going back to the east. This was also something that would stump students of Bible prophecy. A lot of scenarios have been pondered on. I believe we very well could be witnessing this right now.
It appears we have fallen as the superpower of the world and literally handed all of our power to the Middle East. Only time will tell.
Prophetically we are looking for the rapture and also the Ezekiel 38 and 39 war. These chapters tell us that Russia, Turkey, Iran, Libya, and Ethiopia will all come together against Israel. If you notice in the map I attached, these countries surround Israel. Although Afghanistan is not mentioned specifically, what has happened in the last few days has no doubt strengthened and emboldened these enemies of Israel and the United States.
Those who study prophecy always wondered why America isn’t seen helping our ally Israel. It appears all of our questions are being answered.
Not too long ago in our history, all of the nations listed that will be coming against Israel were pro western. Jews were living in their land. Now the United States is hated because we played a major part in Israel being restored. All of the pieces are coming together. In fact, everything Jesus told us would be happening, is happening. The Bible tells us all of this! And as scary as it is, I’m so thankful we have His word to pull us through.
So what will happen when these countries come against Israel? Let’s read a couple verses from Ezekiel 38.
“You and all your allies—a vast and awesome army—will roll down on them like a storm and cover the land like a cloud. “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: At that time evil thoughts will come to your mind, and you will devise a wicked scheme. You will say, ‘Israel is an unprotected land filled with unwalled villages! I will march against her and destroy these people who live in such confidence! I will go to those formerly desolate cities that are now filled with people who have returned from exile in many nations. I will capture vast amounts of plunder, for the people are rich with livestock and other possessions now. They think the whole world revolves around them!’”
Ezekiel 38:9-12 NLT
“You will come from your homeland in the distant north with your vast cavalry and your mighty army, and you will attack my people Israel, covering their land like a cloud. At that time in the distant future, I will bring you against my land as everyone watches, and my holiness will be displayed by what happens to you, Gog. Then all the nations will know that I am the Lord.”
Ezekiel 38:15-16 NLT
I could shout every time I read this! This will be a huge event. One that is believed to usher in the rapture. And also soon after that, the antichrist will rise to power and sign a 7 year peace treaty with Israel, thus ushering in the 7 year tribulation.
We are living in the days when everything the Bible says is going to happen, is happening! Everything might seem normal as it always was, however read what Jesus says here in Luke,
“When the Son of Man returns, it will be like it was in Noah’s day. In those days, the people enjoyed banquets and parties and weddings right up to the time Noah entered his boat and the flood came and destroyed them all. “And the world will be as it was in the days of Lot. People went about their daily business—eating and drinking, buying and selling, farming and building— until the morning Lot left Sodom. Then fire and burning sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. Yes, it will be ‘business as usual’ right up to the day when the Son of Man is revealed.”
Luke 17:26-30 NLT
Those who has an ear, let him hear - Jesus
