Is ISIS in Psalm 83? - 5 The True Jordanian Descendants It is important to note that the current ruling regime in Jordan is of the Hashemite kingdom. The Hashemites are descendants of Ishmael, and not from Lots children, Ammon and Moab. This means that the Hashemites are, at best, distant cousins to the Ammonites and Moabites, and as such, they dont necessarily have any ancestral territorial claims to the modern day country of Jordan. Ishmael is thought to have generally settled in the land, which best represents Saudi Arabia today. Although the Ishmaelites are also listed among the Psalm 83 members, Assyria does not join with and help them according to the prophecy. This might imply that King Abdullah II, the current Hashemite ruler of Jordan, may be deposed. Arab leaders being deposed or assassinated has become fairly commonplace since the inception of the Arab Spring in January of 2011. Gone are Mubarak of Egypt, Gaddafi of Libya, and Saleh of Yemen, just to name a few. Presently, the true children of Lot appear to be integrated within the Palestinians. The Palestinians are a conglomeration of predominately Arab peoples, but Ammonite and Moabite descendants are among them. Approximately 60% of Jordans population is comprised of Palestinians and many of them are not supportive of the ruling Hashemite minority. In fact, some of them are pro-ISIS, because as Sunni Muslims they empathize with the plan of ISIS to establish a Sunni led Islamic Caliphate in the Levant. Importantly, King Abdullah II is very troubled by ISIS. He believes that ISIS is a global terror threat and that Jordan could be the next country to be invaded by ISIS. The burgeoning terrorist organization has Jordan surrounded by Syria to the North and Iraq to the East. Jordan has received about 1.4 million refugees from the Syrian revolution and the ISIS crisis in Iraq. Some of these refugees are being recruited by ISIS. Its possible that the next military campaign of ISIS will be to invade Jordan. If they are successful they could possibly become aligned with the children of Lot as a dominant shoulder of strength in Psalm 83. Additionally, if they conquer Jordan they could technically take over defacto control of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Presently, the Waqf of Jordan maintains control of this holy site. Is it conceivable that ISIS may someday takeover Jordan and then target Jerusalem, the third holiest site in Islam? Zechariah 12:2 speaks of a future time when the surrounding peoples will lay siege on Jerusalem. This verse could be addressing the surrounding Arab confederacy of Psalm 83. Fortunately for Israel, Zechariah 12:6 states that the Israel Defense Forces will foil this attack. According to Jeremiah 49:1-6, the country of Jordan will fight in a future war. However, that war is not waged between ISIS and Jordan, but appears to be fought between Jordan and Israel. We gather this from Jeremiah 49:2, which says: Therefore behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, That I will cause to be heard an alarm of war In Rabbah (Amman) of the Ammonites; It shall be a desolate mound, And her villages shall be burned with fire. Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance, says the LORD. As a result of this war, Israel takes possession of his inheritance, which is the land within Jordan that God promised to the Hebrew patriarch Abraham in Genesis15:18. This land rests between the Nile and Euphrates Rivers. The country of Jordan exists within these boundaries. This takeover should include the mountainous territory of Petra, in Southern Jordan, because Petra is where the Bible says the Messiah rescues and redeems the faithful remnant of the Jews from the genocidal attempt of the Antichrist at His return. Zechariah 13:8-9 and Isaiah 63:1-5 provide the details about this end times episode. Major events have been predicted concerning Jordan and Israel, and ISIS may be the catalyst that kicks things off. Stay tuned...
