Have you ever asked yourself the question as to why the Jew is so hated? You will not find any natural explanation to that question. But the reason why is simple: the answer to the above question is spiritual. You have to go back to the Book of Genesis to begin to unlock this mystery. In Genesis 3:15 you have the first prophecy in the Word of God, and that prophecy has to do with the defeat of Satan through the Seed of woman. That "Seed," who would be the Messiah, would come through the woman who is Israel (See Revelation 12:1-5). Consequently, throughout history you have Satan working through other nations(actually empires) attempting to annihilate the woman, Israel. And the reason is obvious: his future depended on the destruction of the nation of Israel, thus preventing the Seed from being born. But he failed, and the Seed was born, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. His death and resurrection from the dead struck a major blow to Satan. And in His second return to the earth, He will finish the job, completely fulfilling Genesis 3:15.
So then, the question is this: why does Satan continue to try and wipe out the nation of Israel. Some would say it is a matter of pure hatred and revenge for the role she(Israel) played in bringing about his demise through the coming of the Messiah(the Seed of woman). There may be some truth in that, but I believe the answer has much more to do with his future rather than with his past! Allow me to explain, and again this whole scenario has to do with another prophecy. In Matthew 23:39 Jesus Christ(the Seed of woman) gave this amazing prophecy to the Jewish leadership: "For I say to you, you shall see Me no more UNTIL you say, 'blessed is He whom comes in the name of the Lord.'" Why would Satan care about that prophecy? Because if there is no Jewish leadership to say "blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord," then God is a liar. And if God is a liar, then Satan would not have to go to the pit! Therefore, Satan is bent on the destruction of Israel! This explains his working through Hitler in the holocaust where over six million Jews were killed. It is said that at the end of World War II, although Hitler knew that the war was lost, he actually became more obsessed with killing the Jews. Why? because Satan was working through him with his own diabolical agenda of destruction. And this brings us to the present day and particularly Israel and 2012.
Israel, about the size of New Jersey, is surrounded by dozens of Muslim countries bent on her destruction. And the leader of Iran has publicly said that "Israel must be destroyed." Why? because Satan is trying to save his own skin through destroying Israel so that Jesus cannot be welcomed back as "He who comes in the name of the Lord." As Satan(the seven-headed red dragon) worked through successive empires from the past, Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greek, and Rome, to destroy Israel, so in the last days he will work through a final world empire headed by the Antichrist to try and destroy Israel. I believe personally that this final world empire and the Antichrist(the beast in the Book of the Revelation) will be Islamic/Muslim. See my previous post "Change in 2012," for more information on why I believe this.
I will conclude today by telling you that May 14, 1948 was a miracle when Israel became a nation again for the first time in 2000 years. Equally miraculous was the six day war in June of 1967 when Jerusalem came under Jewish control for the first time since 70AD. And we will witness the miraculous again, very soon, when the Jewish remnant will turn to Jesus Christ as their Messiah and welcome Him back to the city of Jerusalem as "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord." More will be coming in future blogs concerning prophetic insights about the year 2012. But just know this today. Now is the time to love and support Israel both through prayer and with finances. Please consider reading and acting on the following scriptures: Genesis 12:1-3; Psalms 122:6; Isaiah 62:1. What happens in Israel in 2012 will be prophetically significant and you can be a part of it! Selah and Shalom on the people of God!
