ISIS has stated they will kill all Jews in Israel and incorporate the land of Israel into the Islamic state. This makes ISIS agents of Satan. Their god, Allah, is Satan. Scripture teaches that Satans goal is to kill every Jew and destroy modern Israel. In this way, the diluted thinking of Satan believes he can prevent Jesus 2nd coming. Satan then thinks he will totally secure the earth for himself and rule it unhindered by God. In this way Satan is arrogantly and hopelessly insane. In examining the conditions and prerequisites to the Second Coming of the Messiah, it is crucial to remember that the Scriptures picture His return as a separate and distinct event from the Rapture. Unlike the Second Coming of the Messiah to the earth, the Rapture of the Church has no preconditions attached to it. It is known from the Scriptures that the Rapture will come sometime before the Tribulation, although it cannot be known when or how long before. And, because there are no preconditions attached to it, the Rapture can come at any time. THE SECOND COMING OF THE MESSIAH, HOWEVER, DOES HAVE A MAJOR PRECONDITION ATTACHED TO IT. A CERTAIN CONDITION MUST BE MET BEFORE THE MESSIAH WILL RETURN TO ESTABLISH THE KINGDOM. To fully understand the basis of His 2nd coming, one must first understand what occurred when the Messiahship of Yeshua (Jesus) was rejected. In the layout of the Gospel of Matthew, He began His ministry in Matthew 4. From Matthew 4 until Matthew 12, Jesus is seen going around Israel proclaiming the Kingdom and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of the Jewish prophets and performing THE MESSIANIC MIRACLES. THE MESSIANIC MIRACLES Jesus preformed between Mathew 4 to Matthew 12 were will known by the Jewish nation of Jesus day. The Jewish nation was looking for their Messiah and the Jewish Pharisees had taught from the Old Testament scriptures what THE MESSIANIC MIRACLES were and that when you see a man working these specific miracles then he is the Messiah. Therefore the purpose of all His miracles between Matthew 4 and Matthew 12 is to authenticate His Person and His message as Messiah King of the Jews. Many Jews did receive Jesus as Messiah however the Pharisee leadership lead the majority of the people to reject Jesus as Messiah. The Pharisees were expecting the Messiah to be from their own ranks - a Pharisee and agree with Pharisee doctrine. Since Jesus was not a Pharisee but from the back country of the Galilee, they viewed Him as a back-country nobody. However, they clearly couldnt account for Jesus scriptural knowledge, the authority of His teaching and His working of THE MESSIANIC MIRACLES. The people showed their recognition THE MESSIANIC MIRACLES when they started saying: And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, Can this be the son of David? Mark 9:23. The son of David is a messiah title. MESSIANIC MIRACLES are signs to force the nation of Israel -The Pharisees - to come to a decision regarding two things: First, His Person, that He is the Messiah; and Secondly, His message, the gospel of the Kingdom. Then in Matthew 12, the whole purpose of His miracles and His ministry underwent a radical change. The rejection of His Messiahship occurred in Matthew 12:22-37. A blind and mute man was brought to Jesus and Jesus preformed THE MESSIANIC MIRACLE of healing the blind and mute man. But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons. 25 And knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand? 27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Notice the last part of verse 27 by whom do your sons cast them out? The Pharisees (your sons) cast out demons, this is a well established historical fact. But they could not cast out a blind and mute demons and taught that the one who does so is the Messiah. This placed the Pharisees in a very awkward situation. The people were saying this is what youve taught us and here this man is doing it and now youre saying He is an agent of Satan. It is at this event when Jesus pronounces that the Jewish nation has now rejected Jesus offer of the MESSIANIC KINGDOM. Both John the Baptist and Jesus had come preaching that the long awaited MESSIANIC KINGDOM was at hand. But now Jesus announces that they have rejected the offer and that He is withdrawing His offer from this evil generation of His day and that He will offer the MESSIANIC KINGDOM to a future Jewish Generation. This is the unpardonable sin - the rejection of the Messiahship of Jesus. The unpardonable sin cant be committed today. The unpardonable sin was the rejection of the Messiahship of Jesus and His offer of the MESSIANIC KINGDOM. So what scripture tells us about all this and how does it tie into Satans thinking that if he kills all the Jews and destroys the modern nation of Israel that then he will have defeated God? Well Jesus begins in Matthew 12:28-37 and concludes in Matthew 23:38-39 when Jesus says to the Pharisees: Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! 39 For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! So in Matthew 12:28-37 Jesus begins to condemn that generation and pronounce His withdrawal of the MESSIANIC KINGDOM when He says: But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can anyone enter the strong mans house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters. 31 Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. 32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come. 33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart. 35 The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil. 36 But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. Matthew 12:28-37 By Matthew 23:39 Jesus declares: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killed the prophets, and stoned them that are sent unto her! how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! is an Old Testament MESSIANIC greeting that acknowledges the Messiah. For example Psalm 118:26 says: Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD; We have blessed you from the house of the LORD. There is much more detail and scripture that goes into this but basically heres what Satan is trying to do. He is trying to prevent the 2nd coming. This is what all the killing of Jews (like the holocaust) has been about down through the ages. The current events in the Middle-east is just a continuation of Satans program to exterminate all Jews. It will all culminate at the end of the Tribulation when the Antichrist, indwelt by Satan, will trap the remaining Jews in Bazah (Petra), southern Jordan. The Jews will have fled Israel into Jordan to Bazah. It will be similar to what we are seeing today as Iraqi Christians flee from ISIS. Jesus gave these instructions in the gospels to flee. The Antichrist will set up himself as god in the tribulation Temple and then attack Israel killing 2/3 of the Jews who stay to fight him. However, Jesus instructions are to flee to the mountains. Those Jews who have read the gospels will recognize what is happening and they will follow Jesus instructions and flee. Antichrist will pursue the fleeing Jews and catch them at Bazah thinking: this is it now I can finally destroy the Jews, defeat God and have the earth completely to myself. The Jews in Bazah seeing they are trapped and facing certain destruction will call on The Name of The Lord. They will pray the MESSIANIC greeting to God saying: BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD! At this Jesus will keep His promise to the Jews and with His church will come in His glory to Bazah and crush Antichrist and save the believing Jews at Bazah. We, His Church will be with Him but only Jesus will engage Antichrist and his armies. After Jesus finishes His work in Bazah, He will head to the Mount of Olives and destroy the remaining armies of Antichrist still in Jerusalem. Many other things will happen following the fighting. Among these, God will resurrect the Old Testament saints. The Church saint were resurrected at the rapture and now the Old Testament Saints. Jesus will establish THE MILLENNIAL MESSIANIC KINGDOM and this new believing generation of Jews will enter into the Kingdom alive in their mortal bodies. They will live for the entire period of 1000 years of the Kingdom. Gentile believers who have survived the tribulation will also live in the Kingdom. Those in their moral bodies and born during the 1000 years will live until the end of the kingdom. One exception will be those born who do not become believers will die at age 200. King Jesus will rule over the World from Jerusalem. The resurrected King David will rule of the Nation of Israel as their Prince. The resurrected church saints will take up their roles in the MILLENNIAL Kingdom to rule and reign with Jesus as His co-regents. Of course church saints will be in their resurrected glorified bodies. We will receive our roles in the MILLENNIAL Kingdom based on our spiritual life as to how we followed Bible doctrine to overcome the world in our bodies. Therefore in light of our eternal destiny we are extorted by Jesus in scripture to be overcomes of the world. Jesus said we are in the world but we not of the world. World System Human Viewpoint is not the modus operandi for the believer. Divine viewpoint as defined by Bible Doctrine is the modus operandi for the believer. Jesus said: 15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. John 14:15 and He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it. Revelation 2:17 These passages are not addressing eternal Salvation. They are in fact addressing the believers placement in the MILLENNIAL Kingdom.
