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==
Our Heavenly Father, Please put a hedge of protection around the people of Israel. We pray Lord for their safety and the continuance of their great country and cities. Stop the evil ones of Iran and their missiles from flying over to attack them. Bring Israel the win they need to prove to the world that they will no longer take the punishment that they have taken for many years. Forgive us Lord for not being able to help them at this time, but we know that you are the Creator and know all things and what is happening inside our country. Forgive us the Gentiles who care so much for them. We ask these things in Jesus' our Saviors Holy name. Amen.
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.
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.
