How does the most authenticated book in history keep revealing present day history with such accuracy? Most of my life I have been fascinated by the amazing prophesies fulfilled, especially the restoration of Israel. I love Psalm 102, the Holocaust Psalm, and Ezekiel 36, which tells of God’s unconditional promise to the land of Israel. But is it possible that Mark Twain fulfilled a prophecy? His book, Innocents Abroad, detailed his experiences visiting the Holy Land in 1867. He was “the foreigner!”
“so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which Yehovah has laid on it: ‘The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which Yehovah overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’” Deuteronomy 29:22-23
Mark Twain is that “foreigner” from a far land. His role was to document the devastation and utter destruction of Israel. This was because of the 400 years of rule by the Muslim Ottoman Empire based in Turkey. They intentionally destroyed the land even to the extreme of taxing every tree, causing most of the trees to be cut down to save on taxes. But when you visit Israel today it is once again a land flowing with milk and honey. This restoration means so much more when compared to the desert conditions 160 years ago. God is faithful.
“All nations would say, ‘Why has Yehovah done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of Yehovah God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them.” Deuteronomy 29:24-26
“You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either. Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, who are natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?” Romans 11:19-24
But the good news is that after nearly 2,000 years of scattering among the nations, Israel is back! And the reason is to prove that God keeps His word. None of us deserve is mercy and forgiveness, but He loves Israel and He loves us so much that He offers total forgiveness and restoration. Israel is the proof of His mercy and lovingkindness.
“The desolate land shall be tilled instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass by. So they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.’ Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, Yehovah, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted what was desolate. I, Yehovah, have spoken it, and I will do it.” Ezekiel 36:34-36
God is Faithful! Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

President Trump has given several indications of his timeline, but does the Bible agree? When he met with Bibi Dec 29th in Mar-A-Largo they spoke of a “two month timeline.” Today he spoke of a
The Bible has the final say, or specifically, Yehovah has the final say. We think we are in control, but in the end God wins! For thousands of years many nations have risen to eliminate Israel yet they have passed into history and Israel stands. It will be the same in our day. They are fighting against God. He established Israel and He gave them their land. He ordained that they would produce the Messiah and He would be the Savior of the world for all who accept Him.
What ever happened to
(This post is quoted from an Israeli Analyst,
The attention of the nations is directed to Jerusalem more than ever. Yet Yehovah God sits enthroned in the heavens above man’s petty plans. Man sees wars, religion, economic trade, political controversy and just problems in general. But above this God has a purpose from before creation to raise up a people and a nation for His own name. He chose them for blessing, not only for themselves, but for the nations. The enemy has fought against His plan from the Garden of Eden. Will Satan win? Of course not! Through all this God has been calling and reaching out to humans to enter into relationship with Him. Therefore He will not give up. He will protect His investment. This is what He says in Scripture.






























National Sabbath and Rededication
14 05 2026Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving – This weekend our nation declares our heritage of one nation under God. President Trump has proclaimed a national Sabbath remembrance from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. Our entire country is called to prayer for our land. This is followed by a call for Americans to gather on the National Mall in DC for a day of prayer and rededication of our national motto: “In God We Trust.” One lady from our Wake Forest Issachar Forum is representing our group on Sunday. We should all align ourselves with this holy purpose. Wherever you are this weekend set aside a time to join millions of Americans rededicating this God ordained republic to His Almighty providential care.
Today is Jerusalem Day in Israel, celebrating the reunification of Jerusalem 59 years ago in 1967. Also, this weekend is the 78th anniversary of the supernatural rebirth of the nation of Israel in 1948. These celebrations are in the context of war with Iran and President Trump’s meeting with President Xi in China. Of course, Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon are also coming to a decisive point. All of these events fit precisely into the prophetic blueprint of Ezekiel 38. I have previously detailed the seven peace references in that chapter. All of these global events are coming together for a time of peace before the Gog and Magog war. Even China is at place of needing peace for a season before they resume their global conquest goals. Our nation has been blessed because we were founded on the Bible and a Judeo/Christian foundation. We bless Israel and therefore we are blessed. Yehovah God has a plan of favor for Israel and we are part of it!
“For thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Indeed I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day. And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down,” says the Lord Yehovah. “I will seek what was lost and bring back what was driven away, bind up the broken and strengthen what was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong, and feed them in judgment.” Ezekiel 34:11-16
Four day pride festival to be held at Dead Sea, largest in history of Middle East – “Pride Land is not just another festival,” said the main producer and initiator of the festival, Aaron Cohen, “it’s the biggest thing we’ve done here.” Alongside the nightlife, Pride Land will have cultural and art complexes, relaxation and scenic areas, and family-friendly areas with children’s activities, family-friendly workshops, and customized events.
So even now the enemy of our holy God is trying to sabotage God’s blessings on Israel. We need to be in much prayer that it will fail. One of the elements of the Oct. 7 massacre was the Nova festival featuring a huge image of a false god. The battle is not flesh and blood but spiritual wickedness in high places, or in this case the lowest point on earth, adjacent to the Biblical judgement of Sodom and Gomorrah. A LGBTQ pride festival celebrating immoral perversion is scheduled there for June 1-4.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Pray against the enemy. Stand with Israel and pray for both of our nations to return to the God of our fathers!
