Why should we protect Israel? Why is a country no larger than New Jersey worth protecting? Why is this tiny country in the global news more than any other country globally? The answer to these questions is found in the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation’s book.
First of all, when humanity insults Israel, they need to know that they are insulting the God of the Universe and beyond. Secondly, Israel’s population includes God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, 24 Elders, every Saint that ever lived, and myriads of angels waiting to go to war with the nations that dishonored God’s nation – Israel.

The Great Northern Bear Attacks Israel
Seeing the bear rise on one side is intuitive for bears shortly before they attack. The three ribs in its mouth represented two empirical alliances - the Old Testament being Lydia, Babylon, and Egypt. In the last days mentioned in Revelation’s book, we see the Antichrist separate the world powers into three superpowers. Furthermore, in Revelation, we see God destroying the earth one third at a time.
In due time, Russia became known for being the northern bear. Ezekiel’s Rosh is Russia today. Ezekiel directly associated Rosh as being the land of Magog, while Gog is the bear or leader of the land of Magog. In light of this knowledge, Ezekiel states, “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘Son of man (Jesus), set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh (Russia), Meshech (Europe), and Tubal (Western Europe).”

Backing up to the reign of Belshazzar, the king before Darius collapsed and conquered Babylon, Daniel had a vision that he wrote down. At this point in our story, he communicates what he saw.
The vision starts with the “four winds of heaven” – north, south, east, and west. These winds stirred up the great sea, which was the Mediterranean Sea. This sea is the water west of Israel. In Revelation’s book (7:1-2), John tells us that an angel commanded the four winds to be held back from destroying the earth until God’s faithful elect, the 144,000 pure bloodline Jews, were not only marked with God’s seal but finished their work during the reign of the Antichrist.
These four winds are the same four winds noted in Revelation’s book, which have to do with God’s actions against the Gentiles versus His protection of Israel. All four winds represent the united forces of the resurrected Babylon – the reign of the Antichrist. I refer to these storms as the storms of humanity’s flesh.

The Holy Spirit gave Paul a prophetic prediction – that in the end times, people will fade into 18 primary symptoms of denying the power of the indwelling Life of Jesus. The closer we approach the Tribulation of Satan, the more intense the temptation to delude into lukewarmness.
Daniel was honored by God to be the Old Testament figure to demonstrate the coming tomb experience of Jesus Christ. As in the case of Jesus, when the stone was rolled away from the entrance to the lions’ den, the king witnessed something beyond human expectations. Daniel was sitting peacefully when the king searched to see the results of Daniel’s God. It was a miracle that outranked the miracle of the fiery furnace. It was a miracle that illustrated another tomb experience that would provide salvation to the world - that of Jesus Christ.

Get it out of the horse’s mouth.
All Biblical wars throughout history claim the lives of innocent people. From citizens minding their own business to the soldiers required to fight for their leaders – all who die tend to be a waste of humanity. As I have studied wars fought for dictators through the ages, one thing is certain: the citizens of those countries didn't ask for another war.
While we look at WW I as the first world war, Biblically speaking, it was not. The first war was in the Heavenlies between God and Lucifer. Was it over the issue of dirt? No, but it was over the issue of who sat in the throne seat of eternity. Most Christians know how that war ended; Lucifer was stripped of rank and put on a formless planet made of dirt.

In those days, a lion’s den was a tomb, which the entrance was covered by a stone (Daniel 6:17). The experience of Daniel being in this tomb without being overpowered by the lions is the prophetic illustration of Jesus entering the tomb yet coming out through a resurrected Life.
The Rapture, or noted by God’s Word as the “gathering up of the Saints,” will soon be upon authentic believers. Dr. Phinney will detail this experience in this episode. Learn more, listen today.

OVERVIEW: Apostasy is a nasty word. Counter to modern interpretations, it is not atheism. It is the enemy of righteous beliefs. It is an ultimate sin that sends people to Hell. Apostasy is not describing people who reject Christianity or even deny the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus. On the other hand, apostasy, falling away, has a more streamlined agenda. It describes “followers of Christ” (fake Christians) by intentionally turning their backs on Christ, resulting in denying God, Christ, the Second Coming, faith in Jesus, absolutes of the Word of God, being separate from worldly friends, victory in Christ, and the absolute morals depicted in the Word of God.
The truth is, all those who get sucked into the apostasy are not authentic indwelt Christians. It is the proof that the Holy Spirit does not reside in the “believer” to provide immediate discernment of a lie versus Truth. Keep in mind that an unbeliever does not fall into the apostate category. This particular ideation only applies to those who confessed belief in Jesus’s Life, His absolutes, and then turned their back on the basics of the organic Gospel. Their “conversion” was based on guilt, fear, or pressure to “pray the prayer of salvation.” After the guilt and fear have passed, they reexamine their decision using an unsaved mindset. Of course, this results in deconstructing their “faith.”
