Haggai 2:7 'I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD Almighty.'
I am one of the 'desired' that Haggai the prophet was referring to in the above verse... and judging by numerous reports millions of Muslims (16,000 per day according to Al-Jazeera) are making Jesus, the son of Mary, their Lord and Savior
warns Islam's leaders of pending exodus from Islam as over six million (6,000,000) Muslims espouse the Christian faith:
As millions of Muslims accept Christ each year one wonders what about the Jewish people?
What I am about to say in not scriptural. It is strictly my opinion. Judging by the sign of the times and the mass conversions to Christianity by Muslims I am inclined to believe we are currently witnessing the times of the 'Muslim dispensation", taking place just at the dawning of the 'Gentile dispensation' and at the threshold of the greatest event spoken throughout the Old and New Testament: When the Jewish people will accept Yeshua as their Messiah.
So if you have been praying for my Jewish brothers and sisters, as I know many are, rejoice there time is at hand!!
How About Israel & My Jewish Brothers...
The Arab Spring is nothing short of God's desire to gather the 'desired'... as was foretold in the bible (Isaiah 19:1-22)
"...the desired of all nations will come..." Hag 2:7
Isa 19:19:21 'In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the LORD at its border.'
John 3:16 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'
Has Isaiah the prophet foreseen a new Middle East on the rise in our lifetime?
Isaiah 19:1 'An oracle concerning Egypt: See, the LORD rides on a swift cloud and is coming to Egypt. The idols of Egypt tremble before him, and the hearts of the Egyptians melt within them.'
Isaiah 19:2 'I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian--brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
Isaiah 19:22 'So the LORD will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day they will acknowledge the LORD. They will worship with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to the LORD and keep them.'
First and foremost let me make something absolutely clear. I understand very well the difference between a gentile coming to Christ, as I am (though a descendant of the patriarch Abraham) and the Jewish people - descended of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I fully understand the special kinship and the promises made to the house of Israel by Almighty G-d
I hope the following exerpt from my book cements my attitude towards the Jewish people (pages 201-202)
'During the passage of the eons of time, the one, true and Holy God- Yahweh, the Creator of all things- was kept ‘alive’ by the descendents of the sons of Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac. The descendents of Ishmael soon wen
We saw in Chapter 5 that the Arabs in the Arabian Peninsula during Muhammad’s time on earth (including his tribe, the Quraysh), worshipped many pagan gods including Al-Uza, Al-Lat, and Manat.
'It was left up to one tribe, the tribe of Israel, to keep the torch of the true God burning; but it came with a heavy price. My half-brothers and half-sisters, the Jews (for Jews and Arabs are descendants of Abraham), suffered great persecutions because of their stand for Yahweh. The sufferings, humiliation and persecution they endured 'hardened their hearts' to the point that it caused them to miss the greatest hour of their destiny, the hour of their visitation; and they have paid dearly for it:
Jesus said “And they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knowest not the time of thy visitation.” (Luke 19:44).
'God is not so unjust as to forget Bani Israil (the children of Israel), who, against all odds, kept the torch of Yahweh burning until Mary, a young Jewish virgin maiden, was visited by the Holy Spirit and gave birth to a Holy child called Jesus… fulfilling the prophecy uttered about six hundred years earlier by Isaiah the prophet:
“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel” (DSS, Isaiah 7:14).
(Qur’an 3:47) “She said: “O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?” He said: “Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, ‘Be,’ and it is!”
