Laurie provides that now, greater than 76 years later, the assault on Israel will also be present in Scripture.
“The Bible had one thing to say. Not solely will the Jews be gathered once more of their homeland, however they are going to be more and more remoted. That is occurring,” he defined.
“The Bible additionally predicted the rise of anti-Semitism on the finish of time. That is occurring. The Bible additionally predicts that will probably be attacked by an incredible nation within the north of Israel, recognized in Ezekiel as Magog. This has not but occurred. Many students consider that Magog is a reference to fashionable Russia, I agree with that opinion, however nobody can say with absolute certainty.”
“However we are able to say this with certainty: Certainly one of Russia's allies might be Persia. Persia was the (biblical) identify of Iran. They modified their identify in 1935. Subsequently, it’s predicted within the Bible that Persia, or Iran, will assault Israel. And guess what? occurred,” Laurie continued.
As CBN Information reported, Laurie isn’t the one Bible instructor to level out that Scripture serves as a timeline for what is occurring in Israel.
Greatest-selling creator Jonathan Cahn not too long ago revealed {that a} biblical thriller from the Previous Testomony predicted the October seventh invasion of Israel by Hamas.
A US-based Messianic Jewish minister shared on YouTube that the evening earlier than the invasion, he felt led to share God's directions to Moses in regards to the jubilee present in Leviticus 25:8-11.

“When Hamas deliberate that day, they didn't learn Leviticus or research Jubilee…they have been led by darkish religious forces. The identical forces that for 4,000 years sought to wipe the Jewish folks off the face of the Earth.” Cahn continued.
“All this reveals that what the Bible says is true. Evil is actual and it’s actually particular. Why are they making an attempt so exhausting to destroy the Jewish folks? As a result of the Jewish folks have been known as into existence by God to witness His actuality.” and vessels of His functions,” he concluded. “And we now have simply witnessed one act, one battle in that historical battle.
Laurie says what's occurring within the Center East “is a motive to take a seat up and listen” and may immediate believers to hope for Israel.
“Jesus is coming once more,” he concluded. “God is in management. However we pray for our associates in Israel. We pray for the Jewish folks.”
