The Warning Left Unheeded By Ebrahim Raisi: Don\u2019t Mess with Israel \u2013 By Jonathan Brentner – https:\/\/harbingersdaily.com\/the-warning-left-unheeded-by-ebrahim-raisi-dont-mess-with-israel\/<\/p>\n
On Sunday, May 19, the helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and other top government officials crashed and burned. All on board perished.<\/p>\n
The Iranian president was a key factor in the October 7, 2023, Hamas\u2019 barbaric slaughter of Israelis as well as those from other nations, including the U.S. According to many sources, such as a recent article on Harbinger\u2019s Daily, he planned and funded the gruesome attack that resulted in the murder of over 1,200 people and the kidnapping of over 250 hostages, many of whom their captors later tortured and killed.<\/p>\n
Was the May 19th helicopter crash the Lord\u2019s response to the man responsible for so much bloodshed and great suffering in Israel? I\u2019m certain that what appeared to most as an accident was, in reality, God\u2019s response as well as a warning of what lies ahead for those who now seek to divide and destroy Israel and its people (see Joel 3:1-3).<\/p>\n
The words of Ecclesiastes 8:11-12 reveal that because God\u2019s \u201csentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.\u201d In the end, the best result is for those who trust God or, as Solomon put it, \u201cI know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him.\u201d<\/p>\n
We know that all those involved in the October 7, 2023, attack, barring repentance through Jesus Christ, will face the severity of God\u2019s wrath after they die, if not also beforehand. Regardless of their fate in this life, the Lord\u2019s judgment for their vile acts will be an eternal fate worse than we can imagine.<\/p>\n
The wicked misinterpret God\u2019s patience and continue in their wicked ways. Raisi, thinking he was above reproach for his monstrous actions, continued to breathe out threats to destroy Israel, never imagining that the Lord would so soon hold him accountable for his great wickedness. <\/p>\n
At times, the Lord punishes sin as a warning for all to see and take heed. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was just such a time when He displayed His displeasure with all those who would defile His purposes for a man, woman, and marriage. Though recorded for all to read in Genesis 19, most today ignore the warning with some mistakenly thinking that God approves of such behavior.<\/p>\n
The Warning: Don\u2019t Mess with Israel<\/strong><\/p>\n Last December, Hasan Bitmez, age 54, suffered a heart attack on the floor of the Turkish parliament immediately after declaring that Israel \u201cwill suffer the wrath of Allah.\u201d The New York Post reported his death two days later. Perhaps Raisi regarded this heart attack as just a coincidence, but not anymore. <\/p>\n Former policeman and analyst Marty Breeden stated that Bitmez and Raisi were two \u201cof the most vile and vicious leaders AGAINST Israel and the Jews\u2026. They BOTH called for the annihilation of the Jewish State and the people, and God dealt with them accordingly!\u201d<\/p>\n I agree; these deaths constitute this warning for all those who would dare to mess with Israel: Don\u2019t do it. The Lord doesn\u2019t always respond so decisively or quickly to evil. However, when He does, it\u2019s dramatic and unmistakable for those paying attention.<\/p>\n Breeden also wrote, \u201cOne would THINK this should strike great fear in those who oppose Israel\u2026 but these are hard-hearted evil men, and it will likely not.\u201d<\/p>\n Will Anyone Heed God\u2019s Warning?<\/strong><\/p>\n The world\u2019s response to the death of the Iranian president tells us God\u2019s warning here will go unheeded by the world\u2019s leaders. Members of the UN, including the Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the UN, stood for a moment of silence to honor Raisi. In response, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan quipped, \u201cWhat\u2019s next, a moment of silence for Hitler?\u201d President Biden showed his respect for Raisi with a message of condolences to Iran on the death of its leader.<\/p>\n How dare this administration honor a man who not only has much American blood on his hands but is responsible for the senseless slaughter of many of his own countrymen, as well as the barbaric and brutal atrocities of October 7, 2023? The key motto of his administration was \u201cDeath to America.\u201d Why is the U.S. paying tribute to one who sought our annihilation as well as that of Israel? <\/p>\n Sadly, far too many Christians and church leaders will also regard the deaths of Raisi and Bitmez as having nothing to do with Bible prophecy or God\u2019s promises to Israel. Blind to the many other signs of the last days, they will continue to teach that He has rejected Israel and replaced the nation with the church. <\/p>\n The Bible tells us a much different story. Although there\u2019s much suffering ahead for the Jewish people during the latter half of the upcoming Tribulation, the Lord will most assuredly restore a glorious kingdom to Israel. In the end, God will fight for His people. The deaths of these two men are just warning shots across the bow for all those who continue to oppose Israel and seek to harm the Jewish people. In the end, they will pay a great price, just as will the coming antichrist.<\/p>\n The words of Psalm 92:6-9 speak to the fate of those who oppose the Lord, which, of course, includes His people: \u201cA brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.\u201d<\/p>\n God\u2019s Word is sure, and though He most often shows restraint, He acts often enough to warn the wicked of their fate. <\/p>\n We expect those apart from Christ to miss God\u2019s warnings and the signs of the imminent Day of the Lord, but what about those who foolishly teach that the church has replaced Israel? Will they pause for a moment to consider the Lord\u2019s defense of His people, or will it go unheeded with them as well?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We know that all those involved in the October 7, 2023, attack, barring repentance through Jesus Christ, will face the severity of God\u2019s wrath after they die, if not also beforehand.
