General perspective
This conference is a testimony of God’s truth and justice. It presents a prophetic judgement of the events occurring nowadays in the world.
The international events upsetting and making restless contemporary society have a spiritual background: that is the final battle between the Good and the Evil on earth. These events have been foretold by divine prophecies to warn us; they advise us prudence and vigilance in order to distinguish justice from iniquity, and truth from falsehood disguised as truth and justice. I will present these prophecies as reported by the Bible and by the prophet Muhammed.
The whole world has expressed its opinion regarding what is happening today; nations and individuals have expressed their judgements, especially concerning the greatest international problem, that is Palestine and Israel. Some militants have been qualified by the Israelis as “terrorists”, while others have accused the Israelis of terrorism. In all this chaos, God has spoken to orient those searching for the truth. This word had been told many centuries ago, but mankind has forgotten it. It is time to remember these words inspired by the Creator to His prophets in order not to go away from the right path.
The object of our study is the state of Israel as a sign of the end of times, that is from a moral and prophetic point of view: the attitude toward the Jewish state is considered a criteria of judgement, men will be judged according to their being pro or against Israel. What is diriment in this business is God’s judgement: is He favourable to a Jewish state or does He disapprove it? Because, as we will see later, God has pronounced in the Bible against the creation of a Jewish political entity.
Now the Zionists pretend that God, in the Bible, had predestined Palestine to them in order to establish a Jewish state. I affirm the opposite, demonstrating that God has never wanted the foundation of a political state for the Jews. I will confirm my convictions with the biblical books of the Old and New Testament, showing the total agreement, between all these prophecies, in condemning the attempts to create a Jewish political entity. If God has invited Abram and his descendents to settle in Canaan, this does not mean that the Jews were allowed to build their own state, but that the Patriarch and his descendents could have lived there in a religious community without surrendering to the temptation of politicizing their faith. In fact Judaism is a monotheistic faith aiming at elevating spiritually all mankind, and not only the Jews.
The evolution of monotheism is not for politics as the Zionists are compelling many people to believe.
The divine refusal of a Jewish state means the condemnation of any religious nationalism, be it Jewish, Christian or Islamic.
Since the subject is Israel, I will of course speak of our time Jews. I must specify that my positions are not supported by superficial and condemnable sentiments like anti-Semitism, but they are based on solid biblical grounds. Furthermore I am myself Semite and testimony in favour of an authentic Semite, Jesus the Christ.
My commitment with Jesus is a denounce of Zionist racism and a testimony for the universality of Jewish faith, completely opposite to the false Judaism of the modern Jews. We needn’t be “anti-Semitic” in order to discover the Israel’s lie; it is sufficient to understand the true message of Judaism as Jesus has well explained it.
I am accusing Israel as many Jews in Israel itself are, like the movement “Naturei Karta” composed of non-Zionist Jews who refuse to recognize Israel to the point of having their own passports. I am accusing Israel as a political state contrary to the divine will, a state deviated from the spiritual and universal essence of the true Judaism. I am accusing Israel of having stained Jewish faith, of preventing lots of men from seeing the splendour of the divine message due to the opacity of its racism and materialism. I am accusing Israel without fear or being myself accused of anti-Semitism by the chauvinist Zionists and their pro-Zionist allies.
The title of my conference is: “Israel: The Eschatological Mystification in prophecy”. In order to be better understood, I will define the terms of this title.
The American college Dictionary defines the word “mystification” as such: “The act of imposing upon (a person) by playing upon his credulity; bewilder purposely”. That is to deceive someone taking advantage of his/her sincerity or good faith. Defined as such, the mystification puts us in the very heart of the lie, because it is to disguise the Evil as Good, to give a false image of the truth. And it is precisely what Israel does pretending to be a divine product. The truth is completely different!
The truth is that the Zionist state mystifies the Kingdom of God by presenting itself like God’s work on earth. Many have been seduced by the Israeli craftiness, especially among the Christians, perhaps fervent believers, but naive and “gullible”.
Israel is a product of counterfeiters which does not escape a trained eye just as counterfeit coins are recognizable by experts.
This state attracts only the weak ones and convinces only the bewildered conscience, but it fails to convince men of integrity. On a mystical level Israel incarnates the lie, the seduction by the temporal power. It has succeeded in recruiting allies from among careerists and opportunists throughout the political world.
Denouncing a Jewish state is nothing new, but an authentic Biblical behaviour. In the past, the prophets of the Bible have always condemned the establishment of a Jewish political state, a Jewish terrestrial royalty having as monarch a Jew. Such a kingdom is a mystification, because the only true spiritual kingdom is the one whose God is the only King of the creatures. That’s why the prophets have denounced the Jewish kingdom as opposite to the divine will. Nevertheless as we will later see, the Jews have insisted on having a Jew as king over them. In spite of the explicit condemnation by the Bible of a Jewish state, today’s Israelis continue to present their state as the fulfilment of the divine will. Here is the mystification.
As far as the word “eschatological” is concerned, it refers to the end of times, and it derives from the Greek word “escatos”, meaning “termination” (end). Israel is an eschatological phenomenon, because it had been announced by the prophecy as one of the principle signs of the end of times, and of Jesus’ return as supreme Judge of whole mankind. Hence as the state of Israel has been prophesied to appear at the end of the times, I have chosen as title of this conference: “Israel: the Eschatological Mystification in prophecy”.
However eschatological the Jewish state of XX century may be, there had already been in the XI century B.C. such a state under the form of a kingdom. This kingdom, established by the Jews in spite of the divine refusal, with Saul as first king divided in two, only about hundred years after its foundation. Therefore there were two Jewish kings, one for the Northern kingdom, named Israel, and the other for the Southern kingdom, named Judea. The first disappeared quickly: fairly 100 years after its creation it was destroyed by the Assyrians in 722 B.C. The second kingdom had the same destiny a century and a half later in the year 585 B.C. devastated by the army of the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar. The Jerusalem temple was then destroyed, leaving the Zionist Jews with the secular thirst, thus become a tradition, of re-establishing the Kingdom of Israel… and so although the divine refusal so many times repeated.
After almost five centuries, and precisely in the II century BC, a new Jewish kingdom appeared under the domination of the Roman Empire with Herod the Great as first king. This kingdom, established by the Romans, was destroyed by them on hundred years later under the emperor Vespasian, when Titus, his son, invaded Jerusalem and destroyed its temple in 70 A.D. The Jews, as we know, were then dispersed throughout the four corners of the globe. Since then they have never ceased to dream of returning to Palestine in order to set up a Jewish kingdom which they believe to be messianic and for the Jews’ benefit only. They keep on repeating one to the other: “Ha shana ha vaa bi Yerushalaim”, meaning “the next year in Jerusalem”. (Today, on the contrary, the Jews in Israel disappointed by this State they have themselves created repeat: “Next year in Paris, Rome, New York, Russia…”).
After 2000 years an Israeli state appeared in Palestine. The majority of Jews and Christians, deceived by the Zionist propaganda, has seen in this a divine miracle. Others, on the contrary, have understood that the reappearance of Israel means the fulfilment of the evangelical prophecies about the Antichrist.
By reappearing, this Antichrist state has explained not only the evangelical prophecies about it, but it has also cast plenty of light on the puzzling prophecies of Saint John’s Revelation. This inspired and prophetical book par excellence warns us against the malefic and seductive power that would show up with force in Palestine at the end times in order to put to the test the whole world mankind.
The Antichrist has been announced by Saint John in his first letter. The apostle tells us that he will manifest at the end times and will have the distinctive character of denying Jesus as the Christ. It is Israel case, which not only denies Jesus’ Messianism, but it presents himself to the Jews of all world as a Messianic state, the saviour of Jews throughout the world. This state messianism of political kind is chauvinistic, because it is restricted and reserved to one category of people only: the Jews. It is the antithesis of the universal and spiritual Messianism of Jesus, which is open to all men of good will without whatsoever religious or racial distinction.
Furthermore, Saint John’s book of the Revelation warns men that a deceiving power, seen by Saint John as a “Beast”, will appear in Palestine a little before Jesus’ return for the final judgement. John explains that “this Beast was, and is not in the year 95 A.D. at the time of his apocalyptic visions, and shall come up out of the abyss, and go into destruction” (Revelation 17,8).
Israel, coming back to the world in 1948, has explained us this biblical prophecy which has stayed obscure for 2000 years. In fact, only this state had existed in the past, had been destroyed by Titus in the year 70 A.D., and was therefore no more in the year 95 A.D., during John’s apocalyptic visions, and here it reappeared “from the abyss” to manifest to the world since 1948.
All divine prophecies foretell the “good news” of the fall of this “Beast”, the Antichrist, so that Jesus of Nazareth, the only true Christ, may be glorified on earth (Apocalypse 14,6-13 ).
Israel is qualified as the “Beast” due to its bellicose and bestial character in the past centuries and nowadays. This nation is devoted to injustice and violence, because it can only be erected at the detriment of human rights, particularly of the Palestinians’, the legitimate and secular owners of Palestine. This is one of the reason why a Jewish state had always been condemned by God and the prophets as I will demonstrate in the first part of this conference.
The Bible condemns the Statehood of Judaism
The first attempt of a Jewish statehood is mentioned in the Bible in chapter 8 of the book of Judges. It happened in the 12th century B.C. Gideon, one of the judges, was at the time triumphantly waging wars in Palestine to settle the Jews there. He obtained then the trust of the community. Representatives were sent to him to push him to establish a Jewish kingdom. He, himself, should have inaugurated a royal dynasty, becoming the first king with the succeeding generations of sons following him (Judges 8,22).
However, Gideon had understood the spiritual, not political essence of Judaism. He answered to the community: “I myself shall not rule over you nor will my son rule over you because God is the one who will rule over you” (Judges 8,23). Gideon’s refusal aborted this first attempt, but the seeds of politicization continued growing in the Israelites’ heart, making them more aggressive toward the neighbours and more determined to choose a Jewish king.
The second attempt to establish a state was a century later, at the time of the prophet Samuel. Chapter 8 of the first book of Samuel informs us that: “all the older men of Israel collected themselves together and came to Samuel at Ramah and said to him: ‘… do appoint to us a king to Judge us like all nations’, but in the eyes of Samuel that was bad inasmuch as they had said to him ‘Do give us a king to judge us’” (1 Samuel 8,4-6).
This demonstrates that the social situation of the Jewish community was spiritual since the beginning, not nationalist, as it differed from that of all other nations. But the Jews, particularly those of today, have reduced Judaism to an Israeli nationalism, turning themselves from Israelites into Israelis. The word “Israelites” refers to the Jews as a religious community. On the other hand, the word “Israelis” refers to the Jewish “nation”, to the citizens of the today State of Israel.
A distinctive trait of this second attempt is that the Bible, seizing the opportunity this time, reveals what has not been clarified at the time of the first attempt, that is that the statehood displeased not only Samuel, like Gideon before him, but above all God.
In fact the Bible recounts Samuel’s discontentment in the Jews’ demand for a king: “Samuel prayed to God, and God answered him, ‘…it is not you whom they have rejected, but it is I, whom they have rejected from being king over them’…” (1 Samuel 9,7).
Before this divine sentence which consolidated his conviction, Samuel had strived to convince the Jews to renounce to their nationalism; but they became more and more stubborn, demanded a king, being deaf to the divine directive, and they dethroned God Himself in order to satisfy their desires. (Comments of the Israeli radio broadcast in 1986 regarding the French Revolution: “The French were not the first to dethrone a king (Luis XVI). We were the first to have dethroned God”). They thus answered to Samuel: “…No; but we may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us and go out before us, and fight our battles” (1 Samuel 8,19-20).
Analyzing these proposals, we can verify that, from the beginning, the supreme purpose of the choice of a Jewish king was the war, that is to lead the invader Israelis in a war against the local inhabitants, the legitimate owners of the land of Canaan desired by the Israelites. Yesterday as today, Israel is marked by war, irreparably condemned to recur to armed violence to usurp other people’s land.
The reason for the bellicose nature of Israel is the necessity of this abnormal state to resort to any form of injustice and armed violence to satisfy its greed. It is for valid reasons that God and His prophets rose up against such its institution. The prophet Micah has denounced with a rare force Israel crimes and, before everyone’s timorous silence, this noble prophet courageously dared to speak out: “and on the other hand, I myself have become full of power with the spirit of God and justice and mightiness, in order to tell to Jacob his revolt and to Israel his sin. Hear this, you head ones of the house of Jacob and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgement, and pervert all equity. They build up Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity…” (Micah 3,8-10). God Himself shouted His wrath from the mouth of the prophet Hosea: “They themselves have set up kings, but not because of me. They have set up princes, but I did not know it” (Hosea 8,4).
Such is the language that should be addressed to the Israelis of today. But we need the courage of the prophets to talk like them. It is really amazing that Christians, their leaders included, fear to follow the prophets’ steps. Instead of honouring the testimony owed to Jesus, they keep on flattering the Israelis who deny Him.
Christians should not forget that their Teacher refused to subscribe to an Israeli state as Gideon had done before him, by escaping from the Jews who wished to make him a Zionist king as we know from chapter 6,15 of Saint John’s Gospel. Again it was this political Zionist empire that the devil offered to Jesus, which He rejected with scorn (Matthew 4,8-10). One ceases to be a disciple of the Christ from the very moment he accepts the state of the Antichrist, Israel. Many have lost their souls following Zionism. On the contrary, however, every man who resists to Israel lie and fights it, is a testimony of God… , even if he were in appearance an atheist.
The prophets have announced Israel reappearance
The prophecies speak of the rebirth of Israel as a power of Evil and a sign of the end times. Now the Jewish state present itself as the accomplishment of the divine prophecies and as the symbol of Good. The majority of Christians, deceived by the Israeli pretence, support the state of Israel.
However, one should not believe that the Bible has announced Israel. It is false to believe that this state is a beneficial power coming from God’s Will. It is true that the Bible has spoken of the return of Israel, but as a malicious and diabolical force. God has permitted this manifestation to plumb the hearts and consciences of mankind before Jesus’ return. That’s why the Bible has warned mankind, but this warning has been for many vain.
The Book of Revelation recommends us to have shrewdness and intelligence (Revelation 13,18 and 17,9). The hour has struck to take up these spiritual weapons in order to discern the spirit acting through the Jewish state: is it the good Spirit of the Creator or that of the deceiving demon?
The Israeli pretence has been well conceived, but human intelligence that has been cleared up is able to detect it. The divine prophecies were given to us precisely to help us to understand without any confusion the meaning of the events taking place under our eyes in the Middle East. Those who wish to be blind will not see.
The contemporary Jews rely on the obsolete prophecies of the Old Testament to convince Christians to join Israel. Collectively Christians have responded to the Israeli appeal; people and individuals have been deceived by Zionists’ reasoning. However these arguments are based on false interpretations of the biblical prophecies to justify Israel political existence. It is not the Zionist astuteness to astonish us, but rather Christians’ biblical ignorance and their naivety. They have gulped down all the so-called “prophetic” food offered by the Israelis for fear of being accused of “Anti-Semitism”.
We need to denounce the Zionist interpretation of the Bible and the “Zionization” of the biblical texts. Because the prophecies which the Zionists refer to justify themselves cannot be applied to a contemporary Israel state. Jews and Christians know very well that these prophecies referred to the return to Palestine of the Jews from the Assyrian-Babylonian exile, returning as a religious community, without political or nationalistic goals. This return has been accomplished in the 6th century B.C., it is clear that these prophecies have no relation with the 20th century Jewish state.
The Christ had warned against the Jewish subtleties and He had even recommended us to be watchful to keep alive our intelligence, and “to have the strength to escape all these things that shall come to pass…” (Luke 21,36). We have, therefore, been forewarned against Israel. Nonetheless, very few had “the strength” to resist the Zionist current that has dragged the weak ones. Jesus has still told us: “Take heed that, no man deceives your for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ’, and will mislead many… then if anyone says to you ‘Here is the Christ’, or ,’There’, do not believe it. For there shall arise false christ and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders so as to mislead, if possible, even the chosen ones. Look I have forewarned you” (Matthew 24,4-25).
In fact Israel is a considerable wonder that has abused human masses which have been warned about the danger. Few Christians, especially among the leaders, had the strength to keep the integrity of the discernment and of the testimony they owed to Jesus, compared to the Israelis who deny Him. These letter are the “false prophets” announced by Jesus.
The Israelis are actually false prophets, because they refuse Jesus and they speak of the Zionist Christ. They had believed to have found him in Menachem Begin, former Israel prime Minister who resigned in 1983, as well as in Ariel Sharon former Secretary of Defence, dismissed after the crime of Sabra and Shatila in Lebanon in 1993, or in the rabbi Meir Kahane. However, all these one have disappointed the Zionist aspiration. Notwithstanding, the Israelis persist in their search for the Messiah…
In this way, as we can state, many Christians have joined the Israeli false prophets who are still pretending that the Christ is sometime “here” and sometime “there”, as Jesus had predicted. That’s why we testify that Jesus is the true Christ and Israel is the Antichrist who wants to substitute to the Christ. Possibly there is still time for the seduced Christians to wake up.
The Gospels have predicted the nowadays and hard Zionist trial as a mystification action appearing suddenly at the end of times to probe the hearts of all men. I shall now present the Biblical prophecies about that underlining these three aspects:
- The mystification
- The surprise effect because unexpected
- Its universality
The three aspects can perfectly and only be applied to the State of Israel.
The Mystification
Israel has been announced as a mystification. We have seen that mystification is synonymous with fraudulent and abusive techniques of manipulating people of good faith.
We have also seen that the Christ had warned against false prophets at the end of times: “Be on the watch for false prophets that come to you in sheep’s covering, but inside they are like ravenous wolves. By their fruits you will recognize them” (Matthew 7,15-16 ).
The Israelis present themselves as lambs slaughtered by Hitler. By this affective blackmail they gained the sympathy of the West. Paradoxically to survive the Antichrist needs the material and moral support from the European and North American disciples of the very Christ he refuses; therefore he dares not to attack directly the person of Jesus, denying that He is the Christ, neither to express manifestly its opposition to Christianity, since that would be to his detriment. Hence Israel works to obtain the American and European public approval, evading the religious issue, and showing respect to Jesus claiming that He “was a Jew like them” and one of them, thus avoiding to reveal that they don’t believe Him to be the awaited Messiah.
Nevertheless, they insist on certain points which the Western have been made sensitive to: to help the Jewish victims of Nazism and the people of the Bible to return to the promised land. It is by such propaganda slogans that the majority of the Western people has been abused.
The European have been made guilty by the exaggerating evidences of the holocaust phenomenon. The several organizations and ramification of the international Judaism, such as the Jewish World Congress, have obligated Western Europe, and particularly Germany, to compensate the Jews, by helping the state of Israel financially, politically, and militarily against the Arabs. The Israelis have obtained this assistance.
With the weapons received, Israel has committed countless crimes against the Palestinian and the Lebanese people particularly, and the Arabs in general. Nevertheless, the Western Christians continue to support the enemy of the Christ, making themselves accessories to the crimes.
By the powerful international lobbies at its service the Jewish state has gained the solidarity of Western Europe and the United States. Furthermore, through the almost complete control of the mass media: press, radio and television, the Zionists struggle to maintain their allies in the ignorance of what happens in Middle East. They reveal only what flatters Israel, and what gives of this state an image of prestige, presenting it as the symbol of distinction and high civilization.
On the social level, then, the modern Jews appear as victims, and on the biblical level as the chosen people returning to their so-called promised land, Palestine.
This double mystification has seduced almost all the Christian churches. The powerful Zionist soporific has put to sleep these “brides” of Christ Jesus which, with the passing of time, have forgotten to remain alert, as their Bridegroom had asked them. It is true that the Vatican has not officially recognized the State of Israel, but Israel’s leaders have been officially and sumptuously received there as heads of a state. Golda Meir, late former prime Minister of Israel, was graciously granted an audience by pope Paul VI, to whom she expressed her indignation for what many Jews had suffered, because of the cross that was hanging on the wall behind him. Never this Christian leader, as many of his successors, has dared to ask the Israeli celebrity visiting him what they thought of Jesus and of His put to the cross. Moreover, Israel has its “official” representatives at the Vatican even in the absence of formal diplomatic relations between the two “States”. I put the word “States” in quotes since neither the one, nor the other is justified to exist politically. In fact, the Vatican “State”, as a political entity, is a nationalism condemned by Jesus as it is the State of Israel.
The sly and hypocritical relationships existing between Israel and the Vatican underline the severity of the Christians’ abdication in favour of the Israeli Antichrist.
Yet, it is against the Israeli deception that the Gospel had forewarned us. Today those who present themselves to us under the disguise of Judaism are unmasked immediately by John’s Revelation, which reveals them as charlatans and “usurpers of the title of Jews”. They are denounced twice by the Revelation as false Jews saying: “they say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2,9). Jesus has also said to His people in the Revelation: “Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold I will make them come and bow before your feet, and to know that I have loved you” (Revelation 3,9).
These liars are nothing but the Antichrist described by Saint John in his first letter: “Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is the Antichrist!” (1 John 2,22).
In his second letter John speaks again to us about this sly enemy of the Christ and he reveals to us that he consists of a group of seducers by saying: “For many deceivers have gone forth into the world, persons not confessing Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the Antichrist” (2 John 1,7).
Note that “many deceivers”, plural, form together “The Deceiver” par excellence, the Antichrist, singular. This homogenous group of people, who together refuse Christ Jesus, forms one “moral person”: the Antichrist. In the same way, during war times, one talks about the “enemy” (singular) to designate the enemy troops (plural).
In our case, the enemy to be fought are the Israelis denying that Jesus is the Christ. Their symbol is the state of Israel because they have been gathered there awaiting their messiah. During the time they have confusingly identified him with the Jewish state as well as with the Israeli people or with the totality of the world Jews, or still with some leader coming from their ranks.
This disorganized and vain search for a Zionist messiah highlights the mystification predicted by Jesus who had told about that: “Many shall come in my name saying, ‘I am the Christ’; and shall deceive many” (Matthew 24,5). These “mystifcators” have appeared. They always pretend that with the reappearance of Israel we have entered the Messianic age, that of the Zionist and Israeli messiah. On the contrary, we remind men that the real Messianic age began 2000 years ago with the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, and we recognize in contemporary Israel time that of the Antichrist announced by the Christ and His Apostles.
The enormous mission of the Antichrist is to gather the Jews from the four corners of the earth in Palestine. This collection is the backbone of the Zionist mystification. In order to accomplish it, it is necessary that the modern Jews would be themselves seduced by the idea of being the chosen ones who have gained again their promise land. This seduction has succeeded because almost the totality of world Jews has believed in it, and have supported it willingly or unwillingly under the pressure of the world Zionism.
This is why the Revelation had predicted that it would have been Satan, and not God, to inspire this gathering of Jews in Palestine at the end of times: “Satan will be let loose out of his prison, and he will go out to mislead those nations (that is Jews throughout the world), Gog and Magogh, to gather them together for the war… and they advanced over the breadth the earth (Palestine) and encircled the camp of the Holy ones, and the beloved city (Jerusalem)” (Revelation 20,7-9) . The mentioning of Jerusalem (“The Beloved City”) indicates that the centre of the apocalyptical events, where the Antichrist is at work presently, is Palestine, and particularly Jerusalem, desired by the Israelis as capital.
This way therefore the Revelation clarifies us that the Israelis are led by Satan, their “seducer”. In turn, they have become deceivers and they have succeeded in leading astray their allies by a deceiving reasoning.
In his second letter to the Thessalonians Paul too predicts the future appearance of the Antichrist who he calls “the lawless one” (or wicked one). He says that he will manage to lead astray only those who love lies, and he warns against his mystification acts with these words: “But the lawless one’s presence is according to the operation of Satan with every powerful work and lying signs and portents and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (2 Thessalonians 2,9-12).
The truth is that Israel is the Antichrist. Many Christians refuse this truth and prefer to follow the Israeli lie. Those who sympathize with Israel take the evil part. The Zionist state, by its powerful mass media and the art of disguise, deceives only those who have been voted to perdition, as they did not believed to this truth we are proclaiming: ISRAEL IS THE ANTICHRIST.
Finally we should notice that Paul, as John, attributes this temporary power of Israel to the devil, not to God, stating that “the coming of the lawless (wicked) one is according to the operation of Satan”.
The work of Israeli mystification would have succeeded perfectly if the divine prophecies hadn’t been given to enlighten us in a world obscured by Zionist lies.
Israel is Announced as the Unexpected Trial
The apocalyptical trial has been prophesied as a sudden phenomenon; it is by the unexpected appearance of the Antichrist that God will test the hearts of men at the end of times before the Christ’s return as universal judge.
Jesus had said about that: “If the householder had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have kept awake and not allowed his house to be broken into. On this account you too prove yourselves ready, because at a hour that you do not think to be it the Son of Man will come” (to test the hearts through the Antichrist) (Matthew 24,43-44). He said again: “Certainly unless you wake up, I shall come as a thief and you will not know at all what hour I shall come upon you” (Revelation 3,3).
Paul remembers Jesus’ words and asks all believers to stay awake not to be surprised: “the Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. For when they shall say ‘peace and security’, then sudden destruction comes… and they shall not escape. But you, brothers are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief” (1 Thessalonians 5,2-4).
It comes out from the prophecies that the terrible apocalyptical trial will surprise only the imprudent ones who have not kept watch in order to safeguard the integrity of their discernment. They are rejected by God. On the contrary, those, whom God will have found worthy to be alerted, will be informed by the Christ Himself, who in the Revelation says to the one who stays awake: “Because you kept the word about my endurance, I will also keep you from the hour of test, which is to come up upon the whole inhabited earth, to test those dwelling on the earth“ (Revelation 3,10). Paul confirms the fact that the Christ will intervene Himself to save all those who remain faithful to His advices: “The Christ will appear to those who expect Him for their salvation” (Hebrews 9,28).
The second appearance of Christ is discreet and is not made before all, but only before those who keep vigilant with love in their hearts to wait for Him. It occurs secretly, inside the happy soul chosen by God because of its faithfulness. Those loving external manifestations and the curious ones will see nothing. In the past, Jesus would often take aside His disciples in order to further explain the parables of which He spoke, and the prophecies foretelling Him. After His Resurrection, He appeared only to His ones “to expound to them in all the Scriptures, the things that were concerning Him” (Luke 24,27). It is the same today, in these apocalyptic times: the live Christ will explain the mysteries and the eschatological prophecies only to those He judges sincere and devoted.
The sudden appearance of Israel was an unexpected event. Even the Israelites themselves did not dare to believe in it. Surprised and exalted they shouted at the miracle. In their enthusiasm they dragged along some allied Christians seduced and tempted by the lying wonders of Zionism. Surprised by the test they underwent, Israelis and asleep pro-Israelis had been taken into the pervert net of injustice and lie, which they have preferred to the truth.
Israel is Announced as the Universal Trial
The test of the end times is a promotional examination leading to Eternal Life. We are all undergoing it. Willingly or unwillingly, collectively or individually, each one conscience’s with no exception is gone through with a fine-tooth comb, because Israel’s influence is international. Its presence at the United Nations shows it.
In general, pro-Zionists are persons attached to Israel by way of common material interests. They are not ready to sacrifice for justice, and they do not wish, therefore, to oppose the general trend established by big powers. Being selfish they fear, first of all, for their own future and avoid, at all costs, the danger of an anti-Israeli commitment. This is the case of a vast number of Western politicians, who, in order to gain the support of the Jews in their respective countries, have satisfied the demands of the international Zionism. Among other pro-Israeli demonstrations, they had to accomplish with submission their political “pilgrim” to Israel against their will… and often against their consciences, being well aware that it was necessary for their political career. Today, one cannot progress in politics without flattering Israel.
Nevertheless, some people are well-aware of the deep meanings of events occurring nowadays in the world, particularly in the Middle East. Others, however, appear totally unaware of the serious consequences of their decisions, they commit themselves with no knowledge and without a mature reflection. This state of ignorance is due to a guilty sub-conscience that seeks to escape from the knowledge of a truth which condemns it. Only a pervert conscience is incline to Israel. An upright and awaken heart cannot be taken in by it.
That’s why Jesus had sais to us: “And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that Day come upon you suddenly. For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth. Watch you, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come” (Luke 21,34-36). Unfortunately, despite all these warnings, many have lost their strength, and have surrendered to the Zionist enemy, taken into the net of the Antichrist.
The universality of the apocalyptic proof has been well announced by the Gospels. Actually, the apocalyptic events occur so that, inevitably, everyone has to formulate a judgement about the protagonists. The mass media have revealed all the injustices committed and all the crimes have been brought to the open. The vast majority in the West justifies the Antichrist despite its crimes, incriminating the Zionists’ victims. The Israeli snare as come upon the world as the Christ as predicted “suddenly it will come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth”, but few people had the force to escape it.
The universality of the apocalyptical proof appears further in the extent of the harm prophesized: “…upon the earth distress of nations… men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world”, Jesus had said in Luke’s Gospel (Luke 21,25-26). Jesus repeats this same warning in the Revelation by declaring: “All the churches (that is to say all mankind) shall know that I am He that searches the reins and hearts” (Revelation 2,23). What frightens today the modern world is the nuclear explosion that can be triggered by the Zionists and their secret agents infiltrated everywhere.
Jesus gives us a reference point concerning the time of the trial; this point is still universal, He says: “And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world, for a testimony to all nations, and then shall the consummation come” (Matthew 24,14). Today the Gospel has been translated into all languages and is spread all over the world. Time has, therefore, come for the universal proof, which “shall come upon the whole world” as Jesus says in the Revelation (Revelation 3,10).
This Zionist test must serve God’s designs and glorify Jesus. Through it all nations will know that Jesus is the true Messiah and the Judge of mankind, as He Himself declarers “All the churches shall know that I am He that searches the reins and hearts” (Revelation 2,23).
Jesus also declares: “And immediately after the tribulation of those days… shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all tribes of the earth mourn” (Matthew 24,29-30). The Apocalypse also adds referring to Jesus: “Every eye shall see Him, and they also that pierced Him (Revelation 1,7). This way, thus, all men will admit that Jesus is the Christ of God even the Jews responsible for His crucifixion.
The eschatological inquiry must still gather into a huge spiritual family all Christ’s disciples dispersed throughout the world. To this purpose, Jesus will send new apostles announced by the Gospel that says about that: “And the Son of Man shall send his angels (His envoys) with a trumpet, and a great voice: and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds…” (Matthew 24,30-31).
With the appearance of the Antichrist, Jesus creates a new generation of apostles since He himself had said: “Neither do they put new wine into old bottles” (Matthew 9,17 ), especially because these old bottles have not been faithful to testimony in favour of Jesus before the Antichrist.
The “great trumpet sound” that Christ today gives to His apostles of the end times to gather together His chosen ones is the revelation of the identity of the Antichrist. These apostles are already at work in the world.
The fruits of the Zionist mystification
As prophesized, the Zionist harvest has been over abundant. Hundreds of millions of souls have fallen and are continually falling into the Zionists’ trap. A lot of men, and not of least importance, have ended up succumbing under the burden of the Zionists’ pressure.
The Second Vatican Council, in fact, has come to the conclusion of justifying the modern day Jews, forgetting their denial of Jesus and their crimes against human rights in the Middle East. This Council invited Christians to a close collaboration with the Jews. Some bishops have even published declarations of solidarity not only with Jews, but even with the Israelis, under the pretext that Judaism is the ancestor of Christianity. Here appeared the complete success of the Zionist plan aiming at leading the Christians to recognize Israel by the bias of Judaism. Thus was established the confusion between Judaism as a religion, and Israel as a state. Christians do not discern anymore one from the other.
High responsible of the Christian clergy, particularly Catholics and Protestants, in France and in USA, have issued various pro-Jews declarations leading to an indefectible support to the state of Israel. Solidarity with this state has often been presented as a moral obligation and a faith in Christianity. Many parishes have been imposed a close collaboration not only with the Jews, but even with Israel.
The argument exploited by the Second Vatican Council was the following: what was committed during the passion of the Christ cannot be imputed indistinctly either to all the Jews living at that time, or to the present day Jews, concluding that the Church cannot forget the spiritual heritage she has in common with the Jews.
The question imposing to the conscience of a mature Christian is the following: “What common spiritual heritage can exist between those who believe to Jesus’ Messianism and those who deny it?” Hadn’t Jesus said to the Jews who refused Him: “If you do not believe that I am he (the Messiah), you will die in your sins” (John 8,24)? Therefore, we confirm that to the extent that one denies Jesus as the Christ, one becomes accomplice to His execution and implicated in His crucifixion. Indeed, Paul considers that those, who have fallen into apostasy, “crucify the Son of God again and place him in open shame” (Hebrews 6,6).
Therefore, how should we qualify those who stubbornly deny Jesus as the Christ? The Gospel answers us that the Antichrist is he who denies that Jesus is the Christ. So let not the Vatican followers be displeased, but we prefer to keep to the Gospel and we denounce the Israelis as the Antichrist. We have understood that Christ’s spirit is anti-Zionist.
Now there are some cardinals and other protestant leaders who dare to judge the Gospel as too anti-Semitic. About that let me mention one article published by the International Press in 1985 citing the French Information Agency and stating that “Cardinal Johannes Willebrands, in charge of the Jewish relationships in the Vatican, has admitted at Oxford that many passages of the New Testament have served to Justify anti-Semitism. After a debate at Oxford University, Cardinal Willebrands has mentioned several verses of the New Testament which, according to him, had led to anti-Semitic consequences, contributing particularly to create a negative vision of Jews and Judaism. The Cardinal particularly mentioned one verse from Saint Matthew (Matthew 27,25: “Then answered all the people, and said, ‘His blood be on us and on our children’…”), and other passages from John’s Gospel which present the Jews, almost with no exception, as blinded by evil”. The article went on saying that “a high official of the Anglican church has declared that the church should deny certain faulty passages of the New Testament until they are purified from anti-Semitism” (see the Lebanese Journal “L’Orient-Le Jour” Friday 15th March 1985 ).
Therefore in this 20th century, those who call themselves disciples of Jesus and His Gospel attack the Gospel itself. By their desire to please the Jews, they annihilate their own personality and lose their discernment at the point of becoming anti-Christian without realizing it.
It is strange that no one in the Vatican, nor in the Anglican church took the Gospel’s defence. The reason, as Paul had foreseen 2000 years ago, is that the Antichrist will manage to “sit in the Temple of God” (2 Thessalonians 2,4). While observing the repetition of the clerical betrayals in favour of the Jews, one may conclude that the Antichrist has already comfortably sit in the Temple of God, Vatican and elsewhere.
Every wise man using a minimum of reflection wonders why some religious leaders, so-called Christians, would be enthusiastic to “purify” the Gospel from a so-called anti-Semitism? Why didn’t they talk about the attacks of the prophets of the Old Testament against the Jews? These attacks were even more acrimonious, more direct and more general, being addressed to the whole Jewish population. The following verse that the prophet Isaiah addresses to the Jewish people is a collective condemnation: “Woe to the sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a wicked seed, ungracious children… For what shall I strike you any more, you that increase transgression? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is sad. From the sole of the foot unto the top of the head, there is no soundness therein” (Isaiah 1,4-6). This verse is an example among many others in the Old Testament. The Gospels only reports the attitude of the majority of the Jews and the calumnious words they addressed to Jesus. By doing so, the Gospel is faithful to the truth and it reports the history objectively.
The Zionist harvest has reached all social levels: youth and elderly, religious, politicians, and civil have all fallen into the Israeli net. Many countries have fraternized with Israel; the European-Israeli fraternity groups are fully active at the services of Israel.
There are also “Christian Zionists”. This word symbolizes the peak of deception since the Zionists deny Jesus and the Christians recognize Him. These Zionists, disguised as Christians, gathered in August 1985 for their first world congress. The newspaper “Le Monde” of Tuesday 3rd September 1985 reported that these people have joined together “in the same hall of the Casino in Basil, where Theodore Herzl in 1897 had addressed the first Zionist world congress, to hold the first Christian Zionist congress”. At the end of their works, almost 600 participants from 28 countries launched an appeal to Christians to support Israel. It’s interesting to underline the fact that Judaism served as the springboard to the state of Israel.
This phenomenon is currently active in the United States where a vast movement of the Christian Fundamentalists brings an unconditional support to Israel. This very powerful “evangelical” movement has an incontestable influence on the pro-Israel politics of the USA.
Everywhere therefore, in the so-called free Western world, or in the nations influenced by it, no one is free to oppose to Israel without the risk of imprisonment. We see every day that the Judeo-Christian approach aims invariably at an unfailing solidarity with the Jewish state.
I have but mentioned only a few examples of the successful Zionist seduction in the world. This success demonstrates that Israel is really the lying power prophesized capable of misleading many people.
Here presented now the main prophecies regarding the abundance of the Zionist harvest: “ …and they will deceive many” (Matthew 24,5); “There shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring in sects of perdition, and deny the Lord who bought them: bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their riotousness…” (2 Peter 2,1-2). In specifying that these false teachers DENY the Lord, Peter denounces those Jews who deny Jesus; “… And all the earth was in admiration after the Beast (Israel)… And power was given him over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation. And all that dwell upon the earth adored him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the slain Lamb (Jesus)” (Revelation 13,3-8).
For those who keep a watchful eye these prophecies aim at the universal Zionist Mystification.
In the Muslim world, through the Qur’an the Zionists defend their cause. For examples they refer to Surah V “The Table” verses 20-21 (this enumeration is according to the Arabic Qur’an, it can differ of some verses in the different translations) of the Qur’an which reports: “And remember when Moses said to his people: ‘…O my people! Enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you…”. Many Muslims also have been convinced of the legitimate right of modern day Jews to possess Palestine, because it was “assigned” to them by God. The agreements at camp David concluded between Egypt and Israel are, at least to a great part, due to the false interpretations of such Qur’anic verses.
We must never take biblical or Qur’anic verses out of context, or be led to interpret some verses according to the Zionists’ caprice. The above mentioned verses tell us that Moses had invited the Israelites who fled from Egypt to establish themselves in Palestine, entering the land from the Southern borders. This very fact is reported by the Bible in chapter 13 and 14 of the book of Numbers. The Qur’an presents this fact this way:
“Moses said to His people…: ‘O my people! Enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you, and turn not back (to Egypt) for then you will be returned as losers’. They said: ‘O Moses! In it (this land) are a people of great strength, and we shall never enter it, till they leave it; when they leave, then we will enter’”.
Moses had actually invited the Israelites to live together with their Palestinian neighbours peacefully. Instead, right from the beginning, the majority of the Jews had excluded every possibility of peaceful co-existence with the legitimate owners of the land of Canaan, demanding their departure even before installing themselves. If the Israelite community had any peaceful intentions, they would have not feared entering Canaan. Instead, wishing to appropriate the territory of these strong giants, the Jews preferred to see them leave before entering it. This attitude of “non-assimilation” has always characterized the Jewish groups often living in ghettos in the countries hosting them.
The Israelis strive to impose a Zionist comprehension of the inspired texts concerning past events; they actualize them and adapt these texts to their modern nationalistic vision. Nevertheless, the divine intention is clear right from the beginning: to introduce the Jews into Palestine in order to spread monotheism, by living peacefully with its inhabitants.
God wanted to introduce the Jews into Palestine as an Israelite community, and not as an Israeli nation. In fact, Jews are of Syrian origin as the book of Deuteronomy chapter 25,6 teaches us. They had therefore never needed another nationality in order to exist in the Middle East, either in past, or today. But the nationalistic viewpoint of the Israelites transformed into Israelis has aborted God’s plan pertained to them.
In the interpretation of the inspired books, it is necessary to stress two facts:
- The abovementioned verses are not addressed to the Israelis of the 20th century and do not justify Israeli nationalism and expansionism.
- The Qur’an, like the Bible, denounces the break-up of the Covenant between God and the Israelites because of their unfaithfulness. God says actually in the Qur’an: “Indeed Allah took the Covenant from the Children of Israel, and We appointed twelve leaders among them. And Allah said: ‘I am with you if you perform your prayers’… because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them” (Qur’an V; The Table,12-13).
This Qur’anic curse confirms that of the Bible. Moses indeed had told to the Jewish community in the Deuteronomy: “But if thou wilt not hear the voice of the Lord your God… all these curses shall come upon you, and overtake you” (Deuteronomy 28,15-68).
Biblical prophets have unanimously denounced numerous infidelities of the Jews (Jeremiah 7,24-34 & 31,32) and, consequently, have proclaimed the rupture of the Covenant. The curse still remains moreover after having denied Jesus, the Messiah, the Founder of the New Covenant.
Both the Bible and the Qur’an condemn Israel. Let us not be mistaken about it.
The Prophetic Dimension of The Arab-Israeli Conflict
It can be derived from the last chapters that the Arab struggle against the state of Israel is of a spiritual and prophetic nature, being the concretization of the battle against the absolute evil incarnated in this charlatan state. Being erected contrary to divine will and upon a territory usurped through armed violence, Israel becomes the symbol of injustice. This is why all those who fight this injustice are representatives of the absolute Good on earth, soldiers of a heavenly army inspired by God and led by the Archangel Michael.
Few people realize this spiritual and apocalyptic dimensions of the Arab-Israeli conflict, in general, and of the Islam-Israeli one in particular. Unfortunately, you cannot speak of a Christian-Israeli conflict, because the majority of Christian churches are with Israel. On the other hand, however, the vast majority of the Muslims has understood that Israel is the “absolute Evil” and that “to collaborate with Israel is a sin” as quoted by the famous Shiite religious leader, Moussa El Sadr. It is precisely under this banner that the Lebanese resistance courageously struggles against the Israeli occupation in South Lebanon. This valorous national Resistance is primarily composed of Muslim Shiites.
According to the Gospel, to fight against Israel is to fight against the Antichrist, proclaiming oneself, willingly or otherwise, a disciple of Jesus Christ. On the contrary, to accept the Israeli state is equivalent to deny the Christ.
Today, the Christ is procuring new disciples according to the commitment against Israel. And it is through the alliances made with Israel that appear the betrayals against the Christ. Israel’s mystification power has superseded every limit by disguising Israeli Evil into the Absolute Good, which the Christians must protect against the Arab Muslims. The latter are represented by the Israelis as the Antichrist supported by atheistic communism. People greedy for lies have believed in this Zionist mystification. Israel, in this manner, has revealed to be that lying power sent into the world to gather around itself all the lie-lovers, as Paul has explained in the text to the Thessalonians previously cited (2 Thessalonians 2,10-11).
The Zionist charlatanism gives of Israel the image of heroic victim and of the Arabs -particularly Syria, its prime enemy nowadays- that of terrorism and of the Antichrist. This deception returns periodically in the Western press, and under different ways, even in the interpretations of the so-called prophecies of Nostradamus. The movie industry too has played a role in pushing the Christians to believe that Arabs and Muslims are the enemies. The Jew and the Israeli are always the victims or the heroes. These movies are produced by Jewish-Israeli such as Menahem Golan. These movies are widely spread in America and in Europe.
The common popular belief of some Western Christians, particularly in the USA, about Israel can be summarized in the following three points:
- The return of the Jews to Palestine and the foundation of a Jewish state are biblical and prophetic accomplishments.
- With the return and foundation of this state, human History enters its final phase which will end with the war of Har Mageddon mentioned in John’s Revelation (Revelation 1L6,16). It is the war against the enemy of God, the Antichrist, presented also as the enemy of the state of Israel. It comes that Israel allies fight for God.
- After the war of Har-Mageddon will occur the second Advent of Jesus and the Jews will believe in Him.
The mistake in these points is to present the Arab and the Muslim as the Antichrist. Indeed Islam recognizes that Jesus is the Christ and it condemns the Jews who have denied Him. John’s prophecy about the Antichrist can be applied only to the Israelis who refuse Jesus and want another Christ.
That’s why We believe in the three abovementioned points, with only a difference -that changes the whole aspect of the problem- that Israel is the Antichrist. Here is God’s enemy described by the prophecies whom Christ’s true disciples must fight.
Therefore we have arrived at a conclusion contrary to those of the “Christians” allied to Israel: to fight against Israel is to fight for God and for His Christ. It is to this particular combat that Jesus invites us in the Gospel by saying: “Moreover, these enemies of mine that did not want me to become king over them, bring here and slaughter them before Me” (Luke 19,27).
The anti-Israeli conflict is concretized today around Syria. This country is Christ’s answer to the Antichrist. At the end of this conference as a conclusion, I would like to address a few words regarding the prophetic apocalyptical role of Syria.
It is at this point necessary to briefly review the opinion of the Jewish biblical scholars and of the prophet Muhammad regarding this Arab-Israeli conflict:
The Jewish biblical scholars
They have used and abused Ezekiel’s Chapters 38 and 39 in order to gain the sympathy of the Christians at the service of Israel. These chapters tell that at the end times, “Gog and Magog”-symbol of paganism- will come from the North against God’s people established in Palestine. There God will annihilate them forever. Our modern day Jews interpret this to their own advantage, pretending to be this people of God, and pointing to Syria, supported by Russia, as being Gog and Magog coming from the Northern borders of Israel.
However, the Revelation of John interprets Ezekiel’s prophecy in an altogether different manner explaining that Gog and Magog will invade Palestine from the four corners of the earth. Seduced by Satan, not led by God, they will settle upon the entire land by wars and occupy Jerusalem. But then a fire will fall from heaven to destroy them (Revelation 20,7-9). This prophecy applies to the “Jews” who have invaded Palestine from the four corners of the earth in order to occupy, by means of crimes, the entire country, including Jerusalem. God’s people today are those who are undergoing Israel injustice and those who fight it.
The Jews, seduced by Satan, believe to be the “people of God” having the right upon the “promise land”. They have invaded Palestine coming from the entire world, particularly from the North, as Ezekiel had told, from Russia and Poland, the original homelands of many Israeli leaders. Again, it is still from Russia, from the North, that the Jews still wish to see the millions of Jewish Russians still living there entering Israel.
Jesus returns today by His Gospel, and upset as He had done 2000 years ago, all the acquisitions of the Israeli mentality This racist mentality is due to an erroneous and Israeli-centred understanding of Judaism.
No! Judaism is not represented by the Israelis!
No! Israel does not represent Judaism!
True Judaism was perfectly represented and explained by Jesus. The Christ has upset all Zionist illusions by saying that the Israelis, who believed to be the first, are on the contrary the last, and the last, in the eyes of the Israelis, are the first according to God. Here is true Judaism! The “Jews” of today refuse it.
God places the Israelis at the core of injustice for having denied Jesus without reason, and for having usurped a land, slaughtering its inhabitants. The legitimate owners of the Palestine, however, groaning under the yoke of injustice, and resisting to recuperate their losses, along with their allies, are elevated to God. Blessed be these people who are hungry and thirsty for justice, as Jesus teaches; but the curse is the doom of the enemies of Christ who occupy other people’s land.
The prophet Muhammad
Muhammad, like the Gospels, warns us against the Antichrist, and the Gog and Magog calamity which will fall upon Palestine from all over.
In his Spiritual Discussions Muhammad refers to the Zionist man as the enemy par excellence of the believers. He says: “The resurrection of the dead will not come about until the Muslims combat against the Jews” (No. 1818) (The word “Zionist” is recent and could not have been used by ancient prophets). (The numeration of the Spiritual Discussions is according to the book “Manhal eI waridine” by Sobhi el Saleh, from which they have been translated). This means that, at the end of times, the Jews will recuperate force enough to fight against the Muslims who had beat them in the past, driving them out from the Arabic peninsula.
According to the Qur’an, the Jews and the idolaters of Mecca are the believers’ greatest enemies. God had said to Muhammad: “You will find that the most implacable of men in their enmity to the faithful, are the Jews and the pagans” (Qur’an V; The Table,82). The Qur’anic inspiration differs neither from the Old Testament, denouncing the Jews’ infidelity, nor from the Gospels, which qualifies them as false.
Muhammad’s prophecies concerning the Antichrist lead us to conclude that this terrible enemy will originate from the Jewish world. He says in his Discussions: “Seven thousand Jews from Ispahan will follow the Antichrist” (1810). By specifying that some Jews will follow the Seducer, the prophet of the Islam already indicates to us his identity. Ispahan is the Iranian city, which includes the largest Jewish population in Iran. After the fall of the Iranian Shah, many of them emigrated to Israel. The number 7.000 is symbolic, it indicates a totality.
Muhammad further says: “The Antichrist will appear in my community (or nation). God will send against him Jesus, Son of Mary, who will follow him and will annihilate him” (No. 1808). It is precisely in the heart of the Arab nation and of the Muslim community that Israel has appeared.
The prophet of the Islam had furthermore predicted that the Antichrist would have been a deceiver and that he would have succeeded in seducing many Arabs. He therefore warns them saying: “I do not fear for you except the Antichrist… He will present himself to the people, soliciting them and they will believe in him and will answer his call…” (No. 1806). Israel has invited the Arabs to a dialogue; some have explicitly answered to his proposal, others implicitly. The agreements of “Camp David” between Egypt and Israel are typical examples of Israeli solicitations granted by Muslim Arabs, as the great Arab prophet had foreseen it.
Many Arab leaders would more overtly make deals with the Israeli nation, but do not dare to do so for fear of their own people. In fact, various Arab kings have demanded the Palestinian leaders to recognize the State of Israel; the king of Morocco has proposed to the Arabs to delegate one of the Arab leaders to propose compromises with the Jewish state in their name.
There are conflicts between the Arabs, the ones in favour, the others against its recognition. This explains the innumerable warnings by Muhammad against the Antichrist. He says to the Arabs: “The Antichrist will appear among you. That which, concerning him will have been mysterious to your will become obvious. God prohibits you to spill your brother’s blood and donate your money… Woe to you! Be prepared, do not return to being unbelievers after my departure, beating your own heads one against the other” (No. 204). Witnessing the Arabs’ blood and their monies consumed by fights between themselves because of Israel -especially in Lebanon-, and yet the Arab oil put indirectly and discreetly at the service of Israel and its allies, we cannot but agree with the noble prophet of the Qur’an.
Speaking of Gog and Magog, Muhammad expresses about them the same worries he had about the Antichrist. In his Spiritual Discussions, the two catastrophes appear identical and Jesus and His ones will fight them both. Speaking of these two evils in the Discussion 1808, he says to the believers:
“I do not fear for you except the Antichrist! If he appears while I am among you, I will reject his reasoning, but if he appears and I am not among you it will be according to each one’s own judgement to dispute his arguments, and for every Muslim, God will be my successor… Then Jesus will gather to fight against the Antichrist peoples all rendered invulnerable by God. As God had said to Jesus: “I have chosen faithful believers upon whom no hand shall bring defeat! And God will send Gog and Magog who will come from all parts. The first of them will cross over the lake of Tiberias. Then Jesus and his peoples -blessed be they- will intercede unto God who will send against (Gog and Magog) worms that will devour them and altogether they will be consumed quickly as if they were but one man” (No. 1808).
We have seen in the “Spiritual Discussions” No. 1808 that the Antichrist will appear among the Arab nations and that Jesus will follow and destroy it. In Discussion No. 1806, it is also Jesus who must fight Gog and Magog. This demonstrates that the Antichrist and Gog and Magog are one and only enemy under two different names.
This foe with an overwhelming force from the “four coins of the earth” as written in the Revelation, has invaded Palestine, since it passes through the Lake of Tiberias. Jesus and His people will win this Antichrist, the Gog and Magog at the end of times, as predicted also by the Gospel (Matthew 24,30 & Revelation 19,11-16).
Nowadays Jesus’ disciples are not necessarily the traditional Christians registered in the parochial churches, but are all the courageous fighters engaged whole-heartedly in the difficult struggle against Israel and its powerful allies. Their names are written in the “Book of life of the Lamb (Jesus) who was slaughtered” (Revelation 13,8)… even though the Christian parochial churches refuse to inscribe them in their books.
Conclusion: Syria salvation role
Divine inspiration began discreetly in Northern Syria 4000 years ago (Genesis 11,31 – 12,5). Abram was Syrian, as we know from Deuteronomy 26,5. God began his work of salvation on earth in Syria and by a Syrian. In this end of times it is through Syria that God will triumph over the evil apostles all over the world.
On May 13th 1983 Syria officially and categorically proclaimed a definite refusal to any agreement with Israel. This Syrian “No” to Zionism upset the Israelis plans and disillusioned their hopes, as it has triggered -the slow but irreversible- process of the disintegration of the Jewish state.
That is why the United States -protectors of Israel- have tried many times and with all means to obtain from Syrian a change in its attitude. All the attempts were vain and the Syrian “No” appeared, after each attempt, resolutely stable and definitive as announced by Syria.
The consequences of Syria’s steadiness quickly made themselves known. It was the direct and subtle reason for the catastrophic demission of Prime Minister Menachem Begin, in August 1983, only 3 months after the Syrian refusal. This sudden unexpected demission of a Prime Minister was unprecedented in Israel, and it surprised the world. The Israelis felt its short and long term severe effects: they understood its symbolism and talked of the fall of all the people personified in the Prime Minister, of the “decline” and “funeral of Israel”.
Every effort to convince Begin to return to political life that is to normal human life was vain. Begin’s total eclipse was a tremendous disappointment for all the Israelis who had seen in him during Israeli anticipated elections of 1981 –only two years before- the king and the “Messiah” of the Jews.
Another direct consequence of the Syrian “No” of 13th May 1983 was, in March 1984, the abrogation of the Lebanese-Israeli agreement of May 17th 1983. This agreement had been signed only, and although, four days after the Syrian refusal.
Its repeal, ten months later, under Syrian pressure, underlines and symbolizes the salvation role played by Syria. To some Western people this pact appeared neither important, nor efficient; but such a pact would have made Lebanon an Israeli colony at the mercy of the universal political and economic plans of Zionism. This repeal was a strong defeat to Israel’s moral and political prestige and it increased its isolation.
Moreover the economic situation in Israel is catastrophic. Inflation everyday exceeds new limits obliging to massive dismissals. The shocking unemployment in Israel is due to its isolation, and it is becoming more hermetic with the opposition attitude of Syria.
To better appreciate the Syrian “No” of May 13th 1983, let us imagine what would have been the results of a Syrian “Yes” to Israel. Everything would have been, of course, different in favour of the Jewish state, and its former resigning Prime Minister Menachem Begin would have rejoiced and been enthusiastic instead of disappearing.
Being Syria a country bordering Israel and the only direct anti-Israeli front today, it represents a struggle against the usurpers of Mideast land, particularly the Golan Heights, Syrian territory. This country of Hafez El Assad, President of Syria, is head of a resistance against the Antichrist and the symbol, which mobilizes all the thirsty for justice in the prophetic battle against the Israeli injustice.
The Syrian attitude is entirely prophetic. The spirit of the prophets who have condemned Israel is today inside Syria and its allies. The moment has come to declare with the prophet Micah to all those who are fascinated or intimidated by the Israeli usurper state:
“But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the Lord, and of judgment, and of might to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin” (Micah 3,8). Syria has put these prophetic and courageous words into practice.
God, by the mouth of the prophet Ezekiel, invites all fighters to gather to exterminate the Israeli Gog and Magog and to “eat” the enemies of God and of His Christ by saying: “Assemble yourselves, and come: Gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for your even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel… You shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth… Thus you shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, said the Lord God” (Ezekiel 39,17-20).
It’s important to note that, God offers this sacrifice “upon the mountains of Israel”. It is, therefore, there in Israel that God leads His warriors against the Antichrist, which gathers there his people at the end of times. The “body” of the beating heart of world Zionism today is in the occupied Palestine transformed, by circumstances, into Israel.
Jesus spoke to His disciples about these events, and they wished to know where this would have taken place. Luke’s Gospel reports this episode saying: “And they answered and said unto him, where Lord? And he said unto them, wheresoever the body is, there will the eagles be gathered together” (Luke 17,37). The soul of Zionism is spread throughout the world in the Zionist Jew’s spirit wherever they would be. The “body” of Zionism, however, is Israel. It is there that the “eagles” should gather, that is, the soldiers of God to destroy the Antichrist’s state.
Matthew uses the word “corpse” (Matthew 24,28). It expresses the “decomposed” nature of this Israeli “body” on a social, economic and moral level. The decadence of the people, who believe to be the chosen one, makes of this political entity, they have created, a dead state. Amos Kenan, known Israeli author, expressed his opinion in this way: “The Israel created by Ben Gurion goes now to its end. The disaster in Lebanon has sealed its destiny”.
God had asked even Ezekiel to convoke “the birds of every species” to eat the sacrifice offered by Him on the mountain of Israel (Ezekiel 39,17). Here also God’s soldiers are symbolized by “birds”, since one needs to have a noble and elevated soul, as the birds of the air, to dare to attack the enemies of God.
In John’s Revelation, God repeats this appeal to war and summons His army against the two allied cursed “Beasts”: Israel and the USA, saying, I cite the Revelation: “…to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them…” (Revelation 19,17-18). And John quickly adds: “And I saw the Beast (Israel) and the kings of the earth (the United States), and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse (Jesus) and against his armies (those fighting against Israel). And the Beast was taken, and with him the false prophet (America) that had wrought miracles before him… These both were cast into the lake of fire burning with brimstone” (Revelation 19,19-20). This prophetic announce of the defeat of the two Beasts -the Israeli and the American- is a guarantee of the triumph of Syria upon its enemies.
Even the parable of the “marriage feast” (Matthew 22,1-14) refers as well to the war against Israel. During that “feast”, the “meat” of the Antichrist is “devoured” by the armies of Jesus the Christ. This parable describes the wedding of the “Son of the King”. The King (God) sent his servants (prophets and apostles, and then the warriors against Israel) to “call them that were bidden to the wedding, and they would not come”, and they killed the servants of the King. “ When the King heard, he was wroth; and he sent forth his armies and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city”.
How do you explain this violence at a wedding feast?
This homicidal violence described by Matthew against servants sent to invite to a peaceful “marriage of the Son of the King” would be incomprehensible, as well as the bloody and exterminating punishment of the King against those who refused to participate to the feast, if this parable didn’t imply a belligerent fact.
The comparison between the above parable and the extracts from Ezekiel and Revelation consists in the fact that the marriage feast of Matthew is not other than an invitation to a battle against Israel and its allies.
Pro-Israeli Christians not only refuse the invitation to fight Zionism, but still fight and put to death “the servants of the King” who oppose to the Israeli Antichrist.
Syria and its allies are these servants of the King sent to invite at the fight against the Zionist entity to eat the flesh of the armies of the Antichrist at the “Wedding” of the triumph of Jesus Christ, the “Son of the King”. And it is precisely the reason why Syria is slandered and accused of terrorism, and, as such, is fought to death by the Antichrist!
However now the King sends His soldiers in order to exterminate the murderers of His servants. The order given by Jesus in Luke’s Gospel is already in execution: “These enemies of mine that did not want me to become king over them, bring here and slaughter them before me” (Luke 19,27).
The war against Israel is not only the wedding feast of Matthew’s parable, but also the messianic “Marriage of the Lamb”, Jesus, in the Revelation, where God offers upon His spiritual table the meat of the Israeli and pro-Israel leaders to the guests who would answer to His call to devour it in triumph and to satiety.
“Blessed are those invited to the supper of the Lamb’s marriage” (Revelation 19,9) says God to all those presenting themselves to fight the Antichrist.
Syria has generously answered to the divine call: blessed be it!
Syria’s prophetic role against Israel in the 20th century inserts in the frame of what the prophets have called “The Day of the Lord”. The ancient Israelites waited impatiently for this day, believing it to be the great day of their victory over their Assyrian, Syrian, Babylonian or Roman enemies according to the different ages of the Israeli nationalism history. The Israelis of today too are waiting thirstily to see that great day they believe to be victorious and blessed for Israel.
Now, the prophets had always warned the Jewish nationalists inviting them to free themselves from their illusions and unrealistic optimism, foretelling that this “Day of the Lord” will be for them a black day, a series of mourning; it will not be that great day of the definite national liberation they hope. Thus the prophet Amos says to the Israelis: “Woe to those who are craving the day of the Lord! What, then, will the day of the Lord mean to you people? It will be darkness, and not light… gloom and not brightness… That is what I shall do to you, O Israel. As a consequence of the fact that I shall do this very thing to you, get ready to meet, your God, O Israel” (Amos 5,18-20 & 4,12).
The Revelation repeats this prophecy against Israel at our time. John predicts the “Great day of God” as a day of world war by which the diabolical spirit crosses the whole world, as the Revelation informs us, to “gather all the kings of the earth for the battle of the Great Day of God Almighty” (Revelation 16,14). This Great Day of God is a day of triumph for Jesus and His army and of extermination of the Antichrist. It is known in the Revelation under the name of Har-Mageddon (Revelation 16,6). The Syrian-Israeli confrontation prepares this marvellous Day of God, day of darkness for Israel, as foretold by prophecies, but triumphant day for the Christ who fights the Antichrist today alongside the Syrian armies.
Then the world will realize the beneficial Syrian role and the importance of the Syrian “No!” proclaimed inexorably against Israel on the 13th of May 1983.
