The "Iron Dome" is looking a lot more like an Iron colander as Iranian missiles overwhelm & penetrate Israel's anti-missal defense system.
🇮🇱 ISRAEL F✡R LAST 🕎
That's it. That's the post.
October day 1. 30 more to go.
Edit: here's some video of the missiles clearly hitting the ground despite what Israel and US media is claiming https://www.instagram.com/p/DAly9fiyZva/?igsh=MTJzY3luejg3dWJ6dw==
Israel's rejection of God's Word, Jesus their promised Messiah, and torturing and killing their completely blameless Messiah cut Israel off from God completely.
Scripture foretold of this and demonstrates this in multiple places and in multiple ways but I'll just focus on one parable here.
The Parable of the Fig Tree (Luke 13:6-9)
Luke 13:6-9 "He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down."
In this parable, the fig tree symbolizes Israel. God, as the owner of the vineyard, has given Israel time and opportunities to bear fruit—representing repentance and faithfulness to His covenant. However, the tree (Israel) has failed to bear fruit. The intercession by the dresser (Christ) suggests that God was extending mercy and giving Israel more time to repent. If there is still no repentance, the tree would be cut down—symbolizing Israel's rejection and eventual judgment.
The Cursing of the Fig Tree (Matthew 21:18-19)
Matthew 21:18-19 "Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away."
Here, Jesus curses the fig tree, which again symbolizes Israel. The fig tree, bearing no fruit, represents Israel's outward religious appearance (the leaves) but lack of true righteousness and faith. The curse signifies God's judgment on Israel for failing to recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
How This Relates to Israel Being Cut Off and Gentiles Being God’s New People
The fig tree is often interpreted as a symbol of Israel throughout Scripture. In the parables, its barrenness represents Israel's failure to live up to its covenant with God. Despite God’s patience, there comes a time when Israel's spiritual barrenness leads to judgment.
This theme of Israel’s failure and the inclusion of the Gentiles is more explicitly discussed in Romans 11:17-21:
“And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee... because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith.”
Paul teaches that Israel (the original branches) was cut off due to unbelief, and the Gentiles (wild olive branches) were grafted in. This symbolizes the inclusion of the Gentiles in God's covenant promises after Israel's rejection of the Messiah.
The parable and the cursing of the fig tree both point to a broader theme: Israel’s failure to bear fruit (faithfulness to God and recognition of Jesus) resulted in judgment, but through this, God’s salvation was extended to the Gentiles.
Matthew 21:43 reinforces this: "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof." This directly indicates that the privileges of being God's people were taken from Israel and given to a "nation" (the church, composed of Jews and Gentiles) that would bear fruit.
Summary:
The Parable of the Fig Tree and the Cursing of the Fig Tree symbolize Israel's spiritual barrenness and impending judgment for rejecting the Messiah. The Gentiles, represented by wild olive branches in Romans, are then grafted into God’s covenant, becoming part of His people through faith in Christ. Israel's cutting off serves as a warning, while the inclusion of the Gentiles marks the expansion of God's kingdom to all nations.
After the foretold destruction of Jerusalem and the temple happened in 70 AD, right within the same generation that Jesus said it would, Israel has no further part in biblical prophecy and has no special significance. Zero.
It has become a den of vipers and a synagogue of Satan. Christians should view it the same as any other pagan nation.
In fact God explicitly states that he removed the hedge protection from Israel so your prayer for one goes against God's will and his prophecy through Isaiah.
Isaiah 5:5
"And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down."
In this verse, God speaks of removing His protective hedge from Israel (often symbolized as a vineyard) as a consequence of their disobedience, leading to judgment and destruction.
Replacement theology enters the chat… You’re taking that one part of Romans 11 out of context. See Romans 11:25-32 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: “Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved.” As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.” As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs, for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. “Just as you who were at one time disobedient to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you.” For God has bound everyone over to disobedience “so that he may have mercy on them all.”
God is not done with His people. We, gentiles, did not replace them.
See Jeremiah 31:33-37 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the LORD. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar — the LORD Almighty is his name: “Only if these decrees vanish from my sight,” declares the LORD, “will Israel ever cease being a nation before me.” This is what the LORD says: “Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done,” declares the LORD.
You can't JUDGE an entire nation of people by the bad ones in the apple cart. Just like you can't JUDGE the United States of America by the Biden's, the Obamas, the Clintons, etc. Even Abraham asked God about when Lot went to Sodom and Gomorrrah and he knew God was going to destroy the cities. Abraham asked God, "Would you destroy it if there were 100 good men inside?" God said. "NO." Then Abraham asked him if he would for 50 good men. Again God said No. And then he got down to 1 good man and God once again said NO, giving Abraham time to warn Lot to get his family out. This is why I keep an open mind to all things. It is not my place to Judge nor anyone elses. God has the upper hand and only he knows what he is doing. Thank you for your reply and God bless you all.
Did you just judge me for judging? That was very hypocritical.
It actually is your place to judge and it's mine. Christians are commanded to judge by God's standards. We are committed to judge righteously. We are also commanded to use scripture as our ultimate foundation.
You brought up Abraham and Sodom and Gomorrah... Which was an entirely different instance and circumstance. You are ignoring what scripture says in these instances about Israel and instead looking back towards a different instance with a different city.
I'm quoting scripture of what God said he would do and what he clearly did in 70 AD onward.
Don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out. I understand you've been taught by the modern evangelical Church to love Israel unconditionally and that it plays an important part in Christianity and biblical prophecy but you need to ask yourself does it? Does scripture really support that? Because I can assure you it does not.
Yes we can love our neighbors and we can pray for the safety of the people in Israel and Iran and anywhere in that wars and conflicts would be over. In fact we should That's her Christian duty. But Israel is a pagan nation just like any other. It holds no special place or significance. In fact it's under a curse from God so it is worse off in many ways than other pagan nations.
I'm not JUDGING anyone. And the Bible says to Judge not and be ye not judged. And if Israel is a Pagan nation then so is the United States. Just look at some of the things we do. Should God destroy us also? I have my opinion of things and you have yours. Perhaps we should just agree to disagree and go on our separate ways. God bless and have a happy day.
lol IT IS!!!!
Oh my gosh did you really just do that? You literally just judged me for judging and you don't even understand that Bible verse that you used. Judge not (by any standard but God's) lest you be judged by that standard.
The Bible instructs Christians in multiple places throughout scripture to judge.... By God's standards. In fact you can't even preach the gospel without calling out sin which requires judgment.
I'm sorry but seriously if you can't even get that one little basic thing right you need to ask yourself how well you understand everything else. I'm not trying to be mean I'm just saying that you do not have a remotely biblical grasp on that subject at all.
Here are Bible verses that instruct Christians to exercise judgment in a righteous and discerning manner:
John 7:24 "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
1 Corinthians 5:12 "For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?"
1 Corinthians 6:2-3 "Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? ... Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?"
Matthew 7:15-16 "Beware of false prophets... Ye shall know them by their fruits." (Implying discernment, which involves judgment.)
Galatians 6:1 "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness..." (Restoration involves recognizing wrongdoing and guiding toward correction.)
These verses encourage righteous and discerned judgment, based on truth and love, not appearances or self-righteousness.
And yes, God should absolutely destroys. He should destroy everyone. We deserve it. It's only by his grace that he's not. We are currently murdering more black children than are being born in this country. We have taken God out of government and education. We deserve nothing but judgment.
That doesn't change the fact that God already announced a judgment on Israel and has cut it off. Again you are making a category error. What we deserve isn't the issue here. The issue here is what God said he would do and what he did with the nation of Israel that has already been done.
All factual. But there is a remnant that is saved in gog magog war in ezekiel. Although they are redeemed as christians, as its basically a last minute conversion.
But imo, christians praying for israel without praying for the rest of God's children should remember Jesus in Matthew 5:43 [“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven.]
Zionism seems so dangerous as it appears if you support it or oppose it, it is so easy to violate the teachings of Jesus Christ.
