THE HAL TURNER SHOW: LIVE UPDATES IN PROGRESS 2:28 PM EDT -Israeli Defense Minister to Troops: "The Order will soon be given" – WORLD HAL TURNER - 19 OCTOBER 2023 - Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant visited Israeli Troops outside Gaza today, and told them directly "The order (to invade) will soon be given."  This comes as Hezbollah reveals they have destroyed ten Merkava Tanks in the north, so far. The situation in Israel right now is bad and getting worse.  Rocket attacks from HAMAS in the Gaza Strip continue, albeit at a very reduced pace.  Skirmishes in the north between Israeli forces and Hezbollah in Lebanon, also continue. Knowing full well what's coming, the U.S., U.K. Canada, France, Australia, Sweden and Germany have told their citizens to leave Lebanon.  So this situation is getting worse by the hour. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Aircraft Carrier and its Strike Group, heading from the US to the eastern Mediterranean to reinforce Israel, transited the Strait of Gibraltar YESTERDAY morning. - https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/israeli-defense-minister-to-troops-the-order-will-soon-be-given

Islamic Jihad Vs Hamas Again? Israel's Explosive Proof On Gaza Hospital Blast To Open New Front In Palestine? - Times Now - Thursday, October 19, 2023 9:40 - Israel has released a slew of evidence they claim proves an overnight explosion at a Gaza hospital that killed hundreds of people. In an audio clip procured by Israeli military intelligence, two alleged Hamas terrorists can be heard discussing the explosion. The two alleged Hamas terrorists can be heard confirming the rocket came from Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) – an independent jihadist group. Over the years, Hamas gained some political legitimacy, while Islamic Jihad remained primarily focused on armed attacks. There have been times when the PIJ has taken the front seat while Hamas remained on the sidelines during clashes with Israel. https://beforeitsnews.com/war-and-conflict/2023/10/islamic-jihad-vs-hamas-again-israels-explosive-proof-on-gaza-hospital-blast-to-open-new-front-in-palestine-times-now-2480094.html

ATLAS SHRUGS - POLICE STATE: Douglas Mackey Sentenced To Prison For Posting Memes Mocking Hillary Clinton - Thursday, October 19, 2023 9:33 - We no longer have a country when a highly partisan, corrupt judicial system sends people to prison for posting jokes. Freedom of speech is worth fighting for, worth dying for. Our once-great nation was founded on it, and it’s the hill we must die on. Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced. https://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2023/10/police-state-douglas-mackey-sentenced-to-prison-for-posting-memes-mocking-hillary-clinton-3675807.html

ZERO HEDGE: US Vetoes UN Resolution For Gaza Ceasefire As Biden Visit Fails To Calm Fears Of Wider War - BY TYLER DURDEN - THURSDAY, OCT 19, 2023 - 04:45 AM – Update (1535ET): The big controversy out of the UN Security Council on Wednesday is that the US vetoed a draft resolution calling for a humanitarian pause in Gaza, as Israeli airstrikes continue and ground forces are reportedly still staging for an invasion. The draft resolution was proposed by Brazil and condemned "the terrorist attacks by Hamas," urged the release of hostages, while calling for a "humanitarian pause" or ceasefire. 12 members approved the draft Wednesday, the UK and Russia abstained, but the United States shot it down. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/biden-israel-agrees-netanyahu-looks-other-team-did-hospital-strike

REUTERS: Egypt's Sisi rejects transfer of Gazans, discusses aid with Biden - By Nayera Abdallah, Nadine Awadalla and Mohamed Wali - October 18, 20235:44 PM CDT - CAIRO, Oct 18 (Reuters) - President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Wednesday that Egyptians in their millions would reject the forced displacement of Palestinians into Sinai, adding that any such move would turn the Egyptian peninsula into a base for attacks against Israel. Later, following a phone call between Sisi and U.S. President Joe Biden, a White House spokesman said about 20 trucks carrying humanitarian aid would enter Gaza from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula in the coming days. White House spokesman John Kirby said the road needed some repairs first, and that he hoped more trucks would follow. The Egyptian presidency said it was agreed that aid should be provided in a "sustainable manner". https://www.reuters.com/world/egypt-rejects-any-displacement-palestinians-into-sinai-says-sisi-2023-10-18/

HARBINGER DAILY - An Appeal To Pastors: Don’t Keep Silent On Israel – By Jan Markell - October 18, 2023 - It is true—the headlines, photos, and videos coming out of the current Mideast conflict are not seeker-sensitive. They won’t make church attendees feel good. Talking about the sensitive situation won’t fit into any church-growth strategy. It won’t encourage anyone to become purpose-driven. It could even create divisiveness. So, I should not have been so thrown when I began to get e-mails from across the country stating variations of the following: Jan, I was very dismayed that the church we attended did not even make mention of what was going on in Israel on Sunday, October 8. Nor did the topic arise on Wednesday night—though there were several mentions of the Houston Astros game . . . . . https://harbingersdaily.com/an-appeal-to-pastors-dont-keep-silent-on-israel/

There were no injuries, but there was damage - The Israel Defense Forces announced that some 800 Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets have been attacked in the first 12 days of the war, including weapons, operational infrastructure and rocket launchers from which rockets were launched into Israeli territory in real time - as well as terrorists.   https://www.ynetnews.com/article/syy59o6za

PROPHECY WATCHERS: While it does not yet meet the full criteria of the prophetic Psalms 83 war, the present conflict in Israel shows every sign of checking all those boxes in short order. Israel - now on a formal war footing for the first time in 50 years - is receiving international support for her military operations. This is unparalleled.  But as evil and macabre as the images and stories of Israel's slaughtered civilians are, this broad support for Israel will be short-lived. Truth is always one of the first casualties of war. As constant and negative scrutiny from those who have reluctantly joined the chorus of Israel's supporters inevitably mounts, their support will wane.  Any protracted military operations by the Jewish state will feed the agenda of institutionalized "humanitarian" and socialist groups, giving them the time to craft their propaganda campaigns to damage Israel's reputation…. https://mailchi.mp/prophecywatchers/has-the-psalm-83-war-arrived?e=37c5a4219d

God Resurrects Israel

By Sean Gooding

Published on: October 4, 2023

Researched by Pastor Gary Boyd

Oct. 19th 2023

 

“Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘In this place which is desolate, without man and without beast, and in all its cities, there shall again be a dwelling place of shepherds’” (Jeremiah 33:12).

 

Ezekial 37:1-14

 

“The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”

 

So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”

 

4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.’”

 

7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.

 

9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”’ 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.

 

11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’”

 

We are continuing our look at God and His commitment to Israel. There have been so many issues along the way, with misinterpretations and verses taken out of context and the fact that we underestimate the commitment of God to Israel and, in turn, us. God cannot break His promises to Israel and the commitments He made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

 

Today, we will look at a prophecy made about Israel coming back from the dead after a long time of ‘death.’ In this context, Ezekiel is in Babylon, living there as a part of the exiles who have been taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar. They would be there for 70 years, and in the process, God sends two sets of prophecies, one to Daniel (see chapters 7-9) and then a series to Ezekiel. We will look at this particular one today and see that it was fulfilled in the last generation, and we see the results of its fulfillment today.

 

As Jesus was preparing his disciples for His death, He made a prediction about the Temple in Jerusalem that was fulfilled in AD70 by General Titus of the Roman army; Matthew 24: 1-2,

 

“As Jesus left the temple and was walking away, His disciples came up to Him to point out its buildings. ‘Do you see all these things?’ He replied. ‘Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; everyone will be thrown down.'”

 

Between AD70 and about AD135, the Jews from Israel were scattered throughout the whole world. They went to every continent and country to find refuge. The nation was dead. A few stragglers lived in the area, and war after war was fought for control of Israel. We have examples of the scatterings from the lives of men like Phillip in Acts 8; we find Jews living in Galatia, Ephesus, and Rome; and just about everywhere Paul went as a missionary, he was able to find Jews. Even my little Barbados is home to one of the oldest synagogues in the world. We are thousands of miles from Israel.

 

Notice in the prophecy that the bones come to life in stages; in verse 8, we get the sinews, then the flesh, then the skin, and then in verse 9, the breath.

 

In the late 1800s, the British established the British Mandate that would begin to rebuild Israel; there were just 56,000 Jews living in Palestine by the end of WW1. By 1945, there were just under 400,000 Jews living in Israel. And by May 14th, 1948, just over 500,000 (CJPME.org) Jews lived there when the nation of Israel was declared to be an independent state by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. He is the architect behind the modern state of Israel. God, of course, was the one who actually put it all in place.

 

President Harry S. Truman was the first head of state to recognize Israel as an independent state. In 1967, during the Six Day War, the Jews regained control of Jerusalem, and on May 14th, 2018 (exactly 70 years, one generation) after the declaration of independence, President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and began plans to move the US Embassy there. In 2021, the last time we had a count, there were almost 9.4 million Jews living in Israel, and there are more returning to live there every day. Israel is a thriving economy filled with medical and agricultural advances. They sit on one of the largest natural gas finds in the world. Slowly but surely, just like the prophecy in Ezekiel, life came back to Israel, and she is here to stay.

 

Just in case we are not sure about whom the prophet is speaking, God makes it clear in verse 11, “These bones are the whole house of Israel.” There can be no doubt as to the subject of this prophecy, and we can see the nation of Israel today, and many have traveled there as tourists. The country came back to life, not just back to life, but came back gradually in stages, as described in Ezekiel 37. We can see this tangible fulfillment of prophecy more than 2,000 years after it was spoken.

 

Let us finish up our thoughts today with a look at Ezekiel 37:21-23. Here, we see two more promises made to Israel.

 

“Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.”

 

God will unite them into one nation again. When they went into captivity via Babylon and Assyria, there were two kingdoms – the Northern and Southern – but God promises that they will be one again. Today, there is only one Israel. But He goes even further. God promises, in the context of the future, that they will be His people and He their God. They will no longer follow after idols and strange gods. Jesus is coming soon to fulfill this just as sure as we see Israel alive and well in front of our eyes, according to Ezekiel 37.
