ONE HUGE EVENT IN PROPHECY–TRIGGERS EVERYTHING!

ONE HUGE EVENT IN PROPHECY–TRIGGERS EVERYTHING!

Everything in God’s mind centers upon one place, city, and word, which is JERUSALEM.

When Jesus told His disciples and us about the future, he built every word around one spot on earth: Jerusalem. All that He says about His second coming is tied to Jerusalem.

Jesus said keep your eye on Jerusalem.

I am ascending from the Mount of Olives (the center of Jerusalem then and now) and returning to the Mount of Olives.

According to the Lord, the end of the world centers around Jerusalem.

The most mentioned place in the Bible is a city called Jerusalem.

The center of the world and the prophetic universe is the same city.

Jerusalem should be your favorite city. After all, it’s the city that God has chosen for Himself in 1 Kings 11:13: “However I will not tear away the whole kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of my servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.”

Ancient maps put Jerusalem in the world’s center, and I think they were right.

Jerusalem is also God’s timepiece. The final events of world history will culminate there with Jesus Christ’s glorious return to the Mount of Olives.

Jerusalem is a crucial place mentioned over 800 times in God’s Word. In Jerusalem, God promised Christ’s coming as the Lamb of God to Abraham. Here, David was promised a future son with an endless kingdom. It was here God has worked. In:

Jerusalem! Three thousand years of lifetimes! Abraham and Isaac upon the altar of Moriah, a stone’s throw from here! David, the shepherd-king, is watching Bathsheba from a distance. Jeremiah, mourning for the exiles. Jesus, teaching in the Temple. Peter’s betrayal. Jesus, walking the Way of Sorrows! Dying with forgiveness on his lips. Peter, shouting the good news in the streets on Pentecost! He has risen! Call on His name and live forever with Him!

But this week, Jerusalem showed up alongside that four-letter-word (IRAN) I mentioned two weeks ago, which continues to capture my spiritual attention in the news reports. When Iran attacks Israel, and then Jerusalem is added, that is huge on the radar screen of God’s plans for the future. Remember, Israel is the barometer that indicates when storms lie ahead for this world. Israel is God’s timepiece for telling prophetic time.

That is the problem that the Old Testament prophet Zechariah (12:3) calls the heavy or burdensome stone. Please stand with me as we listen to God’s Word:

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 (KJV).
