because there is no conspiracy here. This forum is for religious conspiracies not a discussion about what the bible says. YOur title to this thread is something that most ppl know anyway. People have lived in peace in the middle east regardless of the beliefs for centuries until Israel was born again.

Dear SuperiorEd,
That was what I was thinking of. I wonder if the peace will coincide with why the temple is allowed to be rebuilt.

I was thinking this peace will come about because Gog and Magog will attack Israel and Israel will defeat them. Then the anti-christ will have to move fast to stop Israel's future Military advancement. But these matters are grey at best as many are not sure to when this battle will take place.
But one thing is certain. You don't make peace with a Country unless they are beating the fool out of you....or you are beating them.

I formally thought this. After a careful reading of revelation, the Gog war seems to occur after the 1000 years are up and Satan is once again deceives the nations.
Agreed. The fig tree must first be planeted (1948) in order for it to bear fruit. As of today, Israel and Jews are enemies to Christians for the Gospels sake, but they are still beloved of God and will get their land.

No, no. Gog will again lead a rebellion at the end of the 1,000 years, that is the 2nd time he will start a major war with God and his elect. "Gog" is a demon king, "Magog" is the region that includes the Muslim nations that were formally part of the USSR. The land of the ancient Scithians. (sp?)
Responsible is a word that would not be accurate. God allows evil because free will demands that choice must be infinite in scope. To say God is responsible would suggest that he designed this destiny.
Although this may be accurate to the defeat of evil in WWII, the evil has little to do with God's destiny for man. God allows evil when good can come. The evil itself is not a design of God, but a provision for the greater glory of what can come from the allowance of free will.
God is ultimately responsible for justice and never evil. We are born again to overcome.

defintion of conspiracy
1. An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.
2. A group of conspirators.
3. Law An agreement between two or more persons to commit a crime or accomplish a legal purpose through illegal action.
4. A joining or acting together, as if by sinister design: a conspiracy of wind and tide that devastated coastal areas.
I dont see good and evil being part of the definition do you? or god . So tell me where does this thread fall into the defintion of a conspiracy???
All I see is religious BS being quoted and not pertaining to the spirit of this site.
Great observation. And you better believe there are a lot to do with the numbers in the Holy Bible. Even the Chapter and verses "appear" to be inspired in some way as well. I have many examples.
The stranger does not necessarily mean Muslims, but any person who was not part of the Jewish community. Last night I was reading again the story of Joseph in Egypt and after he had already been in Egypt for a long time and was the governor of Egypt under Pharaoh, he made provisions so his relatives would have land. The land was paid for in Egypt for the Jews to live, but subsequent pharaohs would not recognize that. Their land was taken from them.
The Jews had no problem interacting with Egyptians, but if you read it carefully, the Egyptians considered it an abomination to eat with the Hebrews and they thought shepherds were an abomination. And in more modern times, what amazes me was how God did indeed work for Israel to have a place. Read the Battle of Beersheba, it is so interesting.
In that battle, the Jews had 3 battalions, no one was killed and 120 Egyptians were taken prisoner of war. How many times do those numbers keep showing up in the Bible? 120 singers in the temple of Solomon when he dedicated it, 120 witnesses at the upper room. 3 men who came to Abraham, and the three is countless times.
We must remember this, the blood of Jesus was spilled in Jerusalem, and it cries up to God even to this day. His blood spilled from the first moment He was hit, it spilled on the rocks and from the crown of thorns and it spilled in the whipping and it spilled all the way down the street as He fell under the staggering weight of the cross and it spilled down the cross onto the ground. Water and blood came from His side as He was stabbed by the soldier's spear. The blood is there to this day, crying out to God.
The Battle of Gog and Magog will take place before the Rapture....AND after the Millennium as well. How?
so you see one father 2 sons as was then as is now, now if we just learned how to get along the would be no religious wars, just peace.
Then the promise is guaranteed by a sacrifice between God and Abram, and by a vision and a supernatural intervention in the night. Sarai, who was far advanced in years and had given up the idea of bearing children, persuaded Abram to take to himself her hand-maid, Agar. He does so, and Agar being with child despises the barren Sarai. For this Sarai afflicts her so that she flies into the desert, but is persuaded to return by an angel who comforts her with promises of the greatness of the son she is about to bear. She returns and brings forth Ismael. Thirteen years later God appears to Abram and promises him a son by Sarai, and that his posterity will be a great nation. As a sign, he changes Abram's name to Abraham, Sarai's to Sara, and ordains the rite of circumcision. One day later, as Abraham is sitting by his tent, in the vale of Mambre, Jehovah with two angels appears to him in human form. He shows them hospitality. Then again the promise of a son named Isaac is renewed to Abraham. The aged Sarah hears incredulously and laughs. Abraham is then told of the impending destruction of Sodom and Gomorrha for their sins but obtains from Jehovah the promise that he will not destroy them if he finds ten just men therein. Then follows a description of the destruction of the two cities and the escape of Lot. Next morning Abraham, looking from his tent towards Sodom, sees the smoke of destruction ascending to heaven. After this, Abraham moves south to Gerara, and again fearing for his life says of his wife, "she is my sister". The king of Gerara, Abimelech, sends and takes her, but learning in a dream that she is Abraham's wife he restores her to him untouched, and rebukes him and gives him gifts. In her old age Sarah bears a son, lsaac, to Abraham, and he is circumcised on the eighth day. Whilst he is still young, Sarah is jealous, seeing Ismael playing with the child Isaac, so she procures that Agar and her son shall be cast out. Then Agar would have allowed Ismael to perish in the wilderness, had not an angel encouraged her by telling her of the boy's future. Abraham is next related to have had a dispute with Abimelech over a well at Bersabee, which ends in a covenant being made between them. It was after this that the great trial of the faith of Abraham takes place. God commands him to sacrifice his only son Isaac. When Abraham has his arm raised and is in the very act of striking, an angel from heaven stays his hand and makes the most wonderful promises to him of the greatness of his posterity because of his complete trust in God. Sarah dies at the age of 127, and Abraham, having purchased from Ephron the Hethite the cave in Machpelah near Mambre, buries her there. His own career is not yet quite ended for first of all he takes a wife for his son Isaac, Rebecca from the city of Nachor in Mesopotamia. Then he marries Cetura, old though he is, and has by her six children. Finally, leaving all his possessions to Isaac, he dies at age 170, and is buried by Isaac and Ismael
---------The Muslims rejected it because they did not want to live with the Jews. They are RACISTS and Discriminators
After WWII however, the Jews were MORE than willing to have their own State back to avoid another Holocaust....the Lord works in mysterious ways huh? And yes, God was directly responsible for the Holocaust. You can bet your last dollar on that.
1. True Christians are in a state of shock that dispensationalists want to restore the Old Testament law along with Temple sacrifices because it is a denial of the sacrifice of Christ’s blood once for all to end all animal sacrifices.
2. Rapture false teachers want Israel to become a nation again mainly to fulfill the promise of inheriting the land. Problem is, the Bible clearly says Israel got the land long ago under Joshua and Solomon.
3. There is not a Jew alive today or anyone in the nation of Israel that knows which tribe they are from. It comes as a surprise to most people that the majority of Jews living in Israel today are gentile proselytes, being Russians who converted to Judaism.
"The level of Bible knowledge of those who believe in the Rapture is very low. They just read an Old Testament passage by ripping it out of context and apply it to a still future event 3000 years later!"
