KEEP WATCHING WHAT’S HAPPENING IN ISRAEL

According to Acts 13:46 and Romans 1:16, it is believed the Dispensation of Grace, which extended grace to the whole world through the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ, started with Paul. Consequently, with the rejection of the gospel message by the Jews, Paul’s ministry was primarily to the Gentiles. Even so, during this grace dispensation, there are Jews who accepted Jesus as their Savior, but the majority of them are still awaiting their Messiah.

In Israel, the religious Jews want to erect a temple and offer sacrifices as of old; however, the continuous conflict with the nations and people that hate Israel has hindered them from carrying out their desires. Notably, this war with Hamas has fueled more animosity against Israel, and her enemies are rejoicing over it. And although the events of this last month in Israel have been disturbing, believers who understand end-time events realize these atrocities must happen.

Why do I say this? As the world turns its back on Israel, in the future, they will welcome an ally, and they will willingly sign a treaty with the antichrist. We can expect this to occur after the rapture of believers and the man of sin, the son of perdition, who is the antichrist, is revealed (1 Thessalonians 2:3).

As we watch and experience this dispensation coming to a close, and God’s attention and focus is on His chosen nation, don’t be alarmed over what you see or hear. God, who controls all, has a plan that existed from the beginning. Just remember all things work for the good of those who love God.
