Mistaken Identity of Jesus 2 The old testament is filled with the future attacks on Jesus. Here we read in Zechariah 12 the continuation of the battle against Jesus and His Angelic saint filled army.
Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Zec 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah (Jesus is the lion of the tribe of Judah) [and] against Jerusalem.
In the past thread we dealt with Ps 83 the Arabs attack Israel. This is another future event in the old testament. Ps 83 describes the Arabs confederation against Israel in the last days.
We know it is future because we are told the Arabs will be defeated for good. Those left over begin to worship the true Jesus, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Our High priest and mediator.
Why does Jerusalem become a trembling cup to all the people round about Israel?
When Jesus ( the Jew) returns He demands ever knee should bow to a Jew. He puts forward His decree as the Head of a ferocious army.
In a post I dealt with Isiaiah telling of the March of the Rainbow Angels, coming From Bozrah to Jerusalem, after the defeat of the Arabs. They are covered in blood.
In the Bible It says LORD God Of Hosts.When you break that down is the march of the Rainbow Angels and saints being led by Jesus into Jerusalem destroying all people in its path. Another way to say this is YHWH Eloheim El Shaddi or He Who Shall Be Mighty Ones the Angelic Army in a beligerant attack mode.
JESUS RETURNS NOT AS A LAMB FOR SLAUGHTER
JESUS RETURNS WITH A TWO EDGED SWORD TO MAKE AWAY WITH SINNERS
JESUS RETUNS AS GENERALISIMO OF A POWERFUL ARMY TO DESTROY MANY AT ARMAGEDDON
JESUS RETURNS AS A ROARING LION SET TO DEVOUR.,
"the mistaken identity of Jesus" Let us now put Matthew ch 7 in this light,
7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH AGAINST THE JEWS AND JESUS!!
Zec 12:8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
Zec 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
What is the fate of all the nations?
DESTRUCTION
Zec 12:11 In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. IN THE VALLEY MEGGIDO, OR ARMAGEDDON AFTERMATH.
Zec 9:10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion [shall be] from sea [even] to sea, and from the river [even] to the ends of the earth.
JESUS BECOMES KING OF KINGS.
Zec 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ***, and upon a colt the foal of an ***.
Zec 8:1 Again the word of the LORD of hosts came [to me], saying, Zec 8:2 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
Zec 8:3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
Future events of prophecy in the old testament.
Zec 7:11 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Zec 7:12 Yea, they made their hearts [as] an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
Zec 7:13 Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
Zec 7:14 But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
