As I am writing this, Israel is firing rockets into the Gaza Strip in retaliation to a rocket attack by Hamas. This comes right on the heels of President Trump signing a formal declaration that the Golan Heights is now Israel land.
Actually, it has always been Israel land. In fact, the land that God gave to Abraham and his descendants makes the current borders of Israel look like Vermont compared to Texas. The land that God set aside for the children of Abraham extends from the Nile up to Turkey, down through the middle of Iraq to Kuwait and across west back to Egypt and the Nile River.
“On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt as far as the great river, the river Euphrates; the Kenite and Kenizzite and the Kadmonite and the Hittite and Perizzite and the Rephaim and the Amorite and Cannanite and the Girgashite and the Jebusite.” Gen. 15:8
In the illustration above, #3 is the Nile River (River of Egypt) and #4 is the Euphrates River. All of the land between these two rivers was given to the children of Israel. This is the space that Israel will occupy during the Millennial Kingdom. The promise to Abraham will be entirely and completely fulfilled when Jesus returns and reigns from Mt. Zion.
“And you will know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the land which I swore to give to your forefathers.” Ezek. 20:42
The Biblical land mass granted to Abraham includes approximately two thirds of what is today’s Syria. The Golan Heights is a speck of land between Israel and Syria that Israel captured from Syria during the Six Day War in 1967. In 1981 Israel unilaterally annexed this land. Until today, Monday, March 25, no other nation has recognized the Golan Heights as belonging to Israel.
Of course, the anti-Israel, anti-Bible factions are condemning this act by the President as a threat to world order. These condemnations simply give voice to the satanic forces that hate Israel as a symbol of the truth of the Bible and the reality that the God of the Bible is the one true sovereign Most High God. This is the essence of the political war that is being waged by the nations and the military war that is building by the Islamic terrorist states against Israel.
What happened today is just another warning bell sounding an alarm of the imminent second coming of Jesus Christ. It is a simple reminder that Israel is a focal point of the spiritual war that is raging and that will climax at Armageddon when Jesus returns. (Zechariah 12:2, 14:2) Also, see my previous posts “The Gog-Magog War IS Armageddon”, “Jerusalem”, and “The Greatest Sign”.
One last thing…notice that the boundaries form what looks like a mountain. We know that God’s holy mountain is Mt. Zion, but Ezekiel 20:40 says this: “For on My holy mountain, on the high mountain of Israel”, declares the Lord God, “there the whole house of Israel, all of them will serve Me in the land; there I shall accept them, and there I shall seek your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your holy things.”
I just find it interesting that God drew the boundary of Israel to look like a mountain., where the whole house of Israel will serve the Lord. “And many peoples will come and say, ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord’.” Isaiah 2:3
