that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone of burden for all peoples; all who
bear it shall be gashed, and all the nations of the earth shall gather about
it.” (Zechariah
12:3)
Will The
Iran Deal Usher in End of Days?

Bachmann connected
the UN Security Council vote on the Iran
nuclear agreement with the fulfillment of the End
of Days prophecy in Zechariah 12:3. When the UN
voted unanimously on July 20th to endorse the agreement and
lift sanctions against Iran, Bachmann saw a major prophecy coming true.
Interviewed
on Jan Markell’s “Understanding
the Times” radio show, Bachmann said, “All the nations of the world signed an
agreement that slams the door against Israel and opened it up to enriching and
empowering the leading state sponsor of terror in the world whose ultimate goal
is the annihilation of the Jewish State.”
Radio host Markell
responded, “That is Zechariah 12:3, folks. That has been predicted for lots and
lots of years.”
Speaking with the
cadence of a preacher, Bachmann continued, “From a Biblical perspective, the Lord has
allowed us to see how He is using politics, He’s using leaders, He’s using
politicians, He’s using foreign policy in that to bring about where we are
today.”
She further suggested
that Christians should be very excited about the possibility that Congress will
approve the agreement. That, she claimed, would be a further sign that the End
of Days is upon us.
“I am really actually extremely
excited because I think that we’re about to see if we believers act in concert,
I believe that we can see the strong right arm of a holy God show to the world
and prove to the world His power and His strength.”
There are similar
teachings in Judaism that echo the theme found in Zechariah 12:3.
In Zechariah 14:2, it
is written, “And I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to wage war.”
In his book The Ishmaelite
Exile, Rabbi Yechiel Weitzman quotes the Zohar, Judaism’s fundamental
mystical text, which elaborates on the prophecy of Zechariah 14:2.
The Zohar states, “In
the days of the Messiah, the descendants of Ishmael [the Arab nations] will
come with all the nations of the world to fight for Jerusalem.” The
unanimous vote of the UN Security Council on July 20 can be seen as fitting the
description of the nations of the world uniting with the descendants of
Ishmael.
As for the central
role of Jerusalem at the End of Days, Rabbi Weitzman writes, “Jerusalem of the twenty-first
century has become ‘the eye of the storm,’ the city the nations of the world
demand be made an international – or at the very least, a binational – city. It
is a city rocked by cries of anguish because of murderous suicide bombers. It
cries over its children who are killed and wounded and who moan in grief.”
THE BOTTOM LINE: “Christians and Jews should be
very excited as Bachman says. But proud?
No!
Despite the fact that
this is prophesied in several places by several prophets in the Bible, Markell
points out that America will fall under judgment for taking part in this
anti-Semitic attack on God’s chosen people.
Just because something is prophesied in the Bible doesn’t mean it is
Gods will. Sometimes it is His foreknowledge. We still had a choice, God knew
we would make the wrong choice and we will pay a price for it.
God is ultimately in
control, but it doesn’t eliminate the responsibility for our choices, or the
lack thereof.
Don’t worry, God’s Will, will somehow still be done in spite
of what we do…
