Shalom, to you my Friend and Co-Minister in the Great Commission...
When terrorists are planning an attack or a calamity, it is not uncommon for intelligence agencies to pick up activity or chatter. These may involve conversations with key or coded words, transactions of money, movement of personnel and materials. It was there before the attack on America on 9/11. It was there before the attack on Israel on October 7. Is it possible that we are picking up activity or chatter in the spiritual realms, in the realm of Satan, giving us revelation into his plans and, by the inverse, the plans of God?
Recently, the influencer Tucker Carlson, who has increasingly tended toward anti-Israel and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, insinuated that Israel started the Iran War. That it secretly wanted to incite a holy war in which the Muslim Dome of the Rock, on the Temple Mount, would be destroyed and the Temple of God could then be rebuilt. What made it especially strange is that there was no evidence of any such connection to the rebuilding of the Temple.
What many people don't realize is that the attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, was not primarily about politics-it was about the Temple Mount. When Hamas issued its official statement concerning their invasion and massacre, the reason Hamas gave was the Temple Mount. They claimed that Israel was planning on taking the Temple Mount and using it for religious purposes.
But there are no such plans-yet. So why all these accusations and fears of the Jewish people rebuilding their ancient Temple-from Tucker Carlson, from anti-Semites, and the leaders of Hamas? It doesn't make sense in the natural; but it makes total sense in the supernatural!
The rebuilding of the Temple is part of end-time Bible prophecy. It ushers in the tribulation and then the Kingdom of God. It ushers in the defeat of Satan. So, who would be more afraid of its rebuilding than anyone else? The Devil. And the Devil speaks through anti-Semites, through terrorists, and through the leaders of Hamas.
So why all this activity and chatter in the dark realm? Could it be that God is going to act in this realm-to move in the world toward events that will lead to the rebuilding of His Temple on the Temple Mount? Keep your eyes and ears open. We are living in the end times. The Devil wars, but God is greater, and His plans, and His Kingdom, will come to pass.
This month pray for God's purposes in the world and live in confidence, knowing His plans for your life will also come to pass. May God greatly bless you!
Your brother and co-laborer
in His love and service,
Jonathan
AND THEN - THIS SUNDAY MORNING ...
