And
they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away
captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the
Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. - Luke 21:24
In June 7, 1967 the Roman Legions that had once very violently : burned down, looted and destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. were nowhere to be seen !!! Roman General's : Pompey and Titus who had once conquered Jerusalem for Rome were long dead in the ashes of history and even though the Romans had previously decimated the Jewish population centuries before and forced those who were left alive to run for their lives as far away from Jerusalem as humanly possible ( thus initiating thee longest diaspora of the Jews in all of this planets history ) the Romans had long left Jerusalem !!! In 1967 the Roman Empire of the Caesars had long disappeared as an 'Empire' and yet in 1967 the Jewish people who somehow survived 'one persecution after another' were once again in their ancient homeland; does not GOD Almighty keep His promises ??? ( note : Josephus estimated that around 1 million people 'most were Jews' were killed in Jerusalem by the Roman Legions in 70 A.D ) In 1967, the Roman Empire and all of its Emperors and Caesars were just another relic and casualty of human history 'BUT' the rebirth of Israel in 1948; followed by the reconquest of Jerusalem in 1967, by the descendents of original chosen people of GOD Almighty and its Holy City : Jerusalem was much, much more than just a mere coincidence of history; it was the literal 'FULFILLMENT' to the very letter; of the Prophecies of the Holy Scriptures !!!
On June 7, 1967 Israeli Defense Force ( IDF ) paratroopers advanced through the Old City of Jerusalem and towards the Temple Mount and the Western Wall bringing Jerusalem's holiest site under Jewish control for the first time in some 2000 years !!!
In the 'spiritual world' you better believe that Satan and his demonic forces attempted to thwart that Prophetic event from ever coming to pass 'BUT' there is no doubt to this student of Bible Prophecy that the Archangel Michael was there, ensuring that all the Arab armies and forces of Satan did not prevail; Satan had already been given over a thousand years to try to destroy and annihilate the chosen people of GOD and he failed; the Roman Caesar failed him, the Ottoman's failed him and even Mohammed's disciples today have failed him; for although Israel is literally surrounded by very hostile Islamic nation-states as well as numerous Islamic Terrorist groups Israel and Jerusalem its Capital are under Jewish control for the first time in almost 2000 years !!!
To Israelis and Jews all over the world what took place on June 7, 1967 was not just a joyous and momentous occassion; even the staunches 'atheistic & secular Israeli' sensed that it was a sheer miracle from GOD Almighty, truly the GOD of : Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had not forever abandoned the Jewish people, surely there is a GOD who keeps His promises !!!
“I
felt truly shaken and stood there murmuring a prayer for peace. Motta
Gur’s paratroopers were struggling to reach the Wall and touch it.
We stood among a tangle of rugged, battle-weary men who were unable
to believe their eyes or restrain their emotions. Their eyes were
moist with tears, their speech incoherent. The overwhelming desire
was to cling to the Wall, to hold on to that great moment as
long as possible.”
- Chief of Staff Yitzchak Rabin in 1967
When this student of Theology studies the history of the Jewish people he can't but compare it to and somewhat liken it to the spiritual journey and path that most of us ourselves as Christian believers are taking until we too get to our own 'Promised Land' : The New Jerusalem. Getting to that 'New Jerusalem' is not a one day thing, it seems that as believers that we too seem sometimes wandering in a wilderness and even though we are children of GOD we too so it seems that some type of persecution seems imminent and even though it may not be so much to us American believers; this is so true of most believers living in : China, India, North Africa and the Middle East.
The holiest city to Judaism : Jerusalem, was first conquered by the 4th Roman Beast in 63 B.C. by the Roman General Pompey and it would not be until 70 A.D. that the 4th Roman Beast under General Titus destroyed the 2nd Jewish Temple in Jerusalem and besieged the entire city. For approximately some 2030 years the Jewish people did 'NOT' politically nor militarily control their own capital : Jerusalem !!! What transpired in June of 1967, was either a 'sheer fluke of history' against impossible odds or a great fulfillment of Bible Prophecy decreed by an eternal Creator who keeps and fulfills His promises on His appointed and decreed upon time and season !!! Unfortunately, this student of Bible Prophecy would like to tell everyone and especially my Jewish friends that it all ends in 1967 'BUT' according to the Prophet : Daniel and Zechariah, an evil two-faced unholy genius is coming against Israel in the future and he will at first appear to be a great 'Peacebroker' from the West; he will make several promises and enforce a great Treaty with his military backing 'BUT' he will break it 'Midway' and then he will unleash thee greatest attack and persecution against the State of Israel and the Jewish people in all of recorded human history. This individual appears in Revelation 6 without arrows in his bow because he carries great supernatural demonic powers that supercede human weapons; he is in effect his very own 'Trojan Horse' against Israel during Daniel's 70th Week !!! ( The Little Horn; is going to need & use both: 'supernatural & military powers' against Israel and Michael* ) - Daniel 12 : 1
Historians acknowledge that there is nothing more crushing to the 'national spirit' of any nation or people than to have their Capital captured and destroyed by a foreign power. What the Roman General Titus did to Jerusalem and to the Jewish psyche in 70 A.D. literally took over 1800+ years and some 20+ generations to overcome !!! Although this servant of Jesus Christ doesn't have any Jewish blood in him ( that i'm aware of*) he 'Blesses Israel, its children, its rivers, its fields, its trees, its sky, its animals, its hills and valleys as well as its 'Defense Forces' and its nuclear tipped missiles; as well as any and all nations that will come to the aid of my Jewish brothers and friends during the time of 'Jacob's Trouble.' We all hope and pray that Israel will never be put in a place nor in a position whereby it will be forced to utilize its nuclear arsenal 'BUT' as we study Zechariah and Revelation we all know that 'ALL' of Israel's endtimes enemies 'MUST' suffer what is described by the Prophet Zechariah 14 : 12 ***
In conclusion, on June of 1967, the capital of Israel was once again in Jewish hands after more than 2000+ years ( Romans had already conquered Israel since 63 B.C.) some may not care at all about what happened to Jerusalem in 1967; others may say it was sheer luck; 'BUT' you and I know much, much better !!! What happened in 1967 reactivated GOD's endtime clock, the 'Times of the Gentiles' is running on overtime and Daniel's 70th Week is getting, ever and ever closer especially as yet another year of the reconquest of Jerusalem nears by !!!
By : Mario Romano. This student of Bible Prophecy has never been to Israel 'Yet' much less walked through the streets of Jerusalem that lead to the Western Wall 'BUT' he knows that one day, that one beautiful day; he is going to get the opportunity to touch with his hand both 'The Western Wall' located in Jerusalem, Israel as well as the walls of the 'New Jerusalem' located in another time and in another place !!! And Mario knows fully well that he is going to be there and get there by thee pure 'Grace and Mercy' of GOD Almighty; solely because this believer was too REDEEMED BY THEE BLOOD of : JESUS CHRIST ***
