I see three circles drawn around Israel. The inner circle comprises the countries that geographically touch Israel named in Psalm 83. The next larger circle is the countries listed in Ezekiel 38. The third and largest circle represents all the rest of the world. In Yehovah God’s view, Israel is the center of the world, the apple of His eye. We are now seeing the final prophesied battles. Specific countries are named in Psalm 83 & Ezekiel 38. Yet, they are two different lists with no overlapping. The Ps. 83 War is almost complete, ending in a time of extraordinary peace described in Ezek. 38.
In Matthew 25, Jesus reveals the standard of national judgement for the remaining countries. Each country will finally be judged by its alignment either for or against Israel. I believe they are the “sheep and goat” nations to which Jesus referred in Matthew 25.
“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. ‘for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; ‘I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’” Matthew 25:31-36
The familiar end of this passage explains that “they” are judged on how they treated the least of His brothers. I know this is usually applied to individuals and whether or not they help the poor or visit prisoners, but the context is clear. Jesus is judging entire nations by this standard. While not ruling out the popular interpretation, we must at least allow the literal contextual reading. There will be sheep and goat nations! I pray, as a US citizen, that our nation will stand with Israel and be blessed to find our nation as a sheep nation on His right hand on judgment day. It is an absolutely basic premise throughout the Scriptures found clearly stated here:
“I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:2-3
This “boomerang principle” cannot be cancelled. It is God’s unbroken promise since Genesis. He is the God who cannot lie. His word is true. All others are liars. Yehovah God is faithful. We can only choose blessing or curse. And as for me and my house, we will serve Yehovah and His Son Yeshua, the Lamb of God and Messiah, who takes away the sins of the world.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, wisdom for the leaders, protection of the troops and salvation for both Jews and Arabs, as well as all who call on His name!

Elisha Vision - Commentary 
Acceleration Is Now
8 05 2025I keep hearing one word “acceleration!” in my spirit. We have begun a new pace of prophecy. It is happening so fast it is harder to keep up. Here are just a few: Israel under relentless attacks, the looming judgement on Iran nukes, the global tariff crisis, India/Pakistan war, and perhaps not least, the expansion of the Abraham Accords. The middle east specifically is about to see a massive reset. This is not years ahead, it is now.
This is evidence of prophetic timing. The Bible hints at this acceleration linked to the last days. Daniel and Nahum saw signs of the final days.
Daniel said keep it hidden till the time of the end, to be characterized by much travel and increased knowledge. They say there are 100,000 planes in the air daily. Check out this quote from 2013.
Knowledge Doubling Curve – “Buckminster Fuller created the “Knowledge Doubling Curve”; he noticed that until 1900 human knowledge doubled approximately every century. By the end of World War II knowledge was doubling every 25 years. Today things are not as simple as different types of knowledge have different rates of growth. For example, nanotechnology knowledge is doubling every two years and clinical knowledge every 18 months. But on average human knowledge is doubling every 13 months. According to IBM, the build out of the “internet of things” will lead to the doubling of knowledge every 12 hours.” April 2013 industrytap.com
My favorite prophet this year has been Amos who describes a time of great abundance and blessing when agricultural activities will overlap due to an overwhelming harvest. It symbolizes a period of restoration and prosperity for the people of Israel. I have seen this with my own eyes in the agricultural abundance Israel enjoys. This is in the context of the restoration of the Tabernacle of David.
These are signs that should cause us to look expectantly for the coming of Messiah Yeshua. He is coming “with power and great glory!” Are you ready? I think there are a few more prophecies to be fulfilled first, but I could be wrong. Jesus could come before breakfast!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for wisdom for PM Netanyahu and President Trump.
