J.R. Church newspaper article from August 1993

Armageddon will be the ultimate war. All nations will be involved. The events leading up to this battle are predicted in the Bible, some of which have been fulfilled in this generation. In the Bible, we find a curious story replete with divine judgment.

Zechariah 12: 2-3 covers the action of the war and gives in ominous tones the perennial hazards of making war on Jerusalem and Israel:

“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling into all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: All the burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered against it.”

All those who tangle with Jerusalem will be “cut in pieces” indeed, and then some! Despite the best efforts of the world’s most capable and fanatic invaders through 4,000 years of bloody conflict, Jerusalem has survived.

The armies of the world will come together to do their fearsome work, in the valley of Megiddo in quiet Galilee. In that valley, “called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon,” untold millions of soldiers armed with the ultimate weapons of war will stage mankind’s most effective attempt at suicide. Blood will flow, according to Revelation 14:20, “up to the bridles of the horses.”

Jerusalem, nearly 100 miles away from the combat zone, will not be spared the effects. Zechariah 14:2 laments:

“The city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the woman ravished: and half of the city shall go forth into captivity.”

Considering the pure numbers of the invading forces, no portion of little Israel will be safe from actual combat. And Jerusalem, God’s city, veteran of invasions, rapings, and lootings from time immemorial, will have to endure this one last catastrophe.

But in this final hour of terrible conflict, something miraculous will transpire among the people of Israel. Pressed to the wall, with their Promised Land torn apart by a vicious war, and with their historic fears of national annihilation coming to reality before their eyes, the Jews turn to God.

They have always done this, but in this case, they turn to their Messiah at last! It seems that the testimonies of the 144,000 Hebrew Christians who minister on Earth after the rapture and who share the faith in Christ, at last, get a hearing in Israel. Jesus said clearly enough in John 14:6: “No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.”

In a time when their need for divine help is greater than ever before, the Jewish people will turn to their native Son, the carpenter of Nazareth. Jesus will be accepted as the true Messiah of Israel.

Isaiah 53 (the conscience of the Jewish people) will be read with a new understanding in Israel. Isaiah 53: 3, 5 says: “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not… But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. “

Whether out of desperation of the tragic moment, or from the testimony of the Christian witnesses, or from a national realization that disaster has ever followed the Jews since the time of Christ, the Jewish nation will completely awaken to Christ. They will finally say, “Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord” (Psalm 118:26).

This is the password to salvation for the Jews. Jesus told them while He was on the subject of the destruction of Jerusalem in His prophecy recorded in Matthew 23:37-39, that He would not return until they welcome Him in the words “Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.”

It will be the greatest spiritual awakening in all of history as the Jewish people come to Christ by the millions. It will be a true day of atonement in Israel as Zechariah 13:1 prophesies:

“In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.”

Romans 11:26 says: “And so all Israel shall be saved.”

God is practical. He promised deliverance to Israel when the nation was faithful. He demonstrated this by bringing His chosen out of Egypt with a miraculous deliverance in the time of Moses. He will do no less in the time of Armageddon.

The Jewish people will receive Christ in the midst of battle. There is no time to build a lot of churches or to ponder a lot of Scripture when Armageddon is going on in your land. The nation is saved, as a nation, instantaneously and on the battlefield. It is as if an electric current of truth is shot through everyone at once.

God’s rewards are immediate. The tide of Armageddon will change abruptly as the Lord empowers Israel with a newfound military strength. The weakest buck private in the field will fight like King David and the generals will be like God in battle. As Zechariah 12:8-9 describes it:

“In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

The Israelites have been tough before, in the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War, but the world hasn’t seen anything yet. The Lord Himself will come to save His people in this final world war, according to Zechariah 14:3-4:

“Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives…”

Jesus will return to His beloved Mount of Olives, adjacent to the Jerusalem Temple site, where He used to retire in the evenings for prayer. And cataclysmic things will happen.

Militarily, those who attacked Jerusalem are in for a bad time of it, to say the least.

Zechariah 14:12 says: “And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.”

John’s description in Revelation 19 offers a magnificent scene of Jesus arriving on a white horse at the head of a heavenly army in Revelation 19: 11 and 14:

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war… And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.”

Revelation 19 goes on to describe fowls eating the flesh of kings, captains, and mighty men. The antichrist “and the kings of the earth, and their armies” in verse 19 attempt war with Christ and His heavenly troops with predictable outcomes. John sees no scenes of lengthy battle, and Revelation goes immediately to the disposal of the antichrist and his schemes for world domination. He gets the “lake of fire” in verse 20:

“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.”

Verse 21 says the troops of the antichrist, who represent enormous armies of the world, are the remnant “slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.”

This supernatural ending to the Battle of Armageddon is not new in biblical accounts. We may say that there are natural wars in connection with Jewish history, which is the story of a people whose destiny is controlled by God. The deliverance of the Jews from Egypt showed the loss of the Egyptian forces when they tried to cross the Red Sea on the dry land used by the Hebrews (Jews).

David experienced a supernatural victory over Goliath in response to his faithfulness. Joshua demolished the walls of Jericho with trumpets.

The Maccabees experienced the miraculous touch of God when they defeated Antiochus and rededicated the second Temple.

Armageddon follows suit, demonstrating that God responds to true faith. When the Gentile nations first marched against the Holy Land, they certainly had no fear of the little Israel army. They plundered Jerusalem and set up their bloodletting in Galilee, indifferent to the great people whose land they desecrated.

But what a different story when the Jews turn to Christ! How shocking for the Gentiles to suddenly face an army of David with Jesus Christ at the head of it!

We have heard of supernatural events in Israel’s wars with the Arabs, but the final conflict will be the most spectacular and supernatural war in history. On that occasion, the issue will be atheism versus faith in God, and as we have seen, God takes a hand in it. It is a picture of a vicious Armageddon.

Armageddon, thankfully, is the end of every kind of war. It marks the return of Jesus to the Earth for an extended stay and a new kingdom.

The great age of “peace on earth, good will toward men” will be ushered in at the climax of Armageddon, and Jesus Christ will be crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

24 And his power shall (7) be mighty, but not by his own (7) power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, (7) and shall prosper, and practice, and shall (7) destroy the mighty and the holy people.

25 (7) And through his policy also he shall (7) cause craft to prosper in his hand; (7) and he shall magnify himself in his (7) heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also (7) stand up against the Prince of princes; (7) but he shall be broken without hand.” (Daniel 8:23-25)

The Mahdi, Black Kabba, Black Stone Worship and Crop Circles. What do they all have in common?

The Imam of the Age, Imam Mahdi (as) is said to come to unite the (false Islam) believers, and mankind in general under the banner of Divine Unity and guidance, bringing in a world order that is more balanced and in tune with all the facets of human nature. It is said that he (Mahdi) will establish justice by overthrowing those who have perverted it for their own gains.

And it is said that he will usher in a period of great progress and flowering of human knowledge and potential. Prince Mohammed bin Salman because they now view Saudi Arabia — with the world’s fastest growing large economy — as a global powerhouse, based in large part upon the reforms he has instituted?

(5) The Mahdi is the Antichrist

And because of that success and others, do more and more leaders now see the crown prince as one of the most influential voices in the world? That same “the room goes instantly silent to hear the words of wisdom” is now taking place on the global stage. When Mohammed bin Salman speaks, some leaders seemingly do go silent to hear every word. Why?  The world is changing. Power is shifting. Alliances are being created or reinvented, and Saudi Arabia and the crown prince are behind much of the change. It’s time to focus on the flash.

2024: The Rise of the Beast. Mohammed bin Salman. Man-by-Satan. MbS. For Those ‘Left Behind.’

“Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” The logical explanation for this phenomenon is the decline in the quality of leadership and ethical standards of political institutions, even with democratic accountability. A regrettable state of affairs; world politicians lack the credibility needed to build a global system that is worth complying with and respecting. Does the world not deserve a respectable leader who can put an end to the appeasement of the masses with slogans and populist actions? “We do not want another committee, we have too many already.  What we want is a man of sufficient stature to hold the allegiance of all people, and to lift us out of the economic morass into which we are sinking. Send us such a man, and be he god or devil, we will receive him.”
