"On That Day"

Our recent messages have focused on the future wars Israel will face. We started looking at the Psalm 83 War in which Israel will contend with enemies along its borders. We then looked at the Battle of Gog and Magog where Israel is invaded by nations to the North. This week we will study one of Israel's last wars that happens "On That Day."

The term "On That Day" is mentioned numerous times in the Prophetic Books of the Bible. Sometimes it is referred to as the "Day Of The Lord" and "The Great Day Of God Almighty." This event happens at the end of the Tribulation Period when Israel fights its last wars and Jesus Returns To Earth. HALLELUJAH!

In Zechariah 12:3 God says, "On That Day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves." This prophetic word is already happening. Jews, Christians and Muslims all claim Jerusalem as their holiest city. Notice all the worldwide turmoil when President Trump declared Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moved the U.S. Embassy there. All Worldly Events Revolve Around Jerusalem!

How does the God of Israel respond to Jerusalem under attack? Zechariah 12:9 says, "On That Day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem." Jehovah God observes the battle and then destroys Israel's enemies. Additionally, the most important event to happen in the future happens "On That Day" - Jesus Returns To Earth! Zechariah 14:3,4 says, "Then The Lord will go out and fight against those nations as He fights in the day of battle. On That Day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, East of Jerusalem."

What is the result of Jesus standing on the Mount of Olives? Zechariah 14:9 says, "The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On That Day there will be one Lord and His name the only name." Jesus will be The King of Kings and Lord of Lords ruling and reigning over the whole earth from Jerusalem. Also, Romans 11:26 "All Israel will be saved" becomes a reality as the Jewish people recognize Jesus as their Messiah.

To close, last Sunday I saw on the internet a true heartwarming event happening. An 18 month old little girl was describing to her Mother a dream she had. She kept pointing up saying, "He is coming, Abba is coming, look up He is coming." This went on for a few minutes. 

Even So, Come Lord Jesus, Come Quickly!

May The Lord Bless You This Day And Every Day,
