I give all the glory to God for the first series of the year 2020. I really love this series because it answers a lot of questions I have had for a while. I thank God for the knowledge that He gave to me and the strength to carry it out. This is the last part of the series. I have been able to explain the reason for the incessant wars in the Middle East; how brothers and later religions are still claiming to be the heir of the promise of Abraham. I have also shared about the need for a third Jewish temple and the involvement of America and Donald Trump in making it happen. To round it up, I want to give my thoughts on the possibility of a third world war. Early in the year, there were tensions between USA and Iran and this led to a world wide rumor on the possibility of the third world war. Well ,to start with, let me say that these are my thoughts and like Paul, the apostle will say, I didn't receive them from the Lord...lol. I have learned to be flexible when it comes to p...

From the last edition, I have shown you the reason for a third temple and why there is a strong resistant to the building. Presently, Israel has made everything needed for the building available. They are ready to build. This shows how close the end of the age is. So, this series is not just to boost your knowledge base, it is help you put your house in order. Jesus is coming! Ever since Israel's independence in 1948, Arab countries have been against the existence of the country and they have done all they can to get rid of the nation. Efforts are still going on today by many of them, but mostly by Iran. The singular factor that scares the Arab world from invading Israel is USA. USA is a strong ally of Israel and anyone that attacks Israel has attacked USA and no one wants to get into a war with the current world power. USA was established men who longed for a country owned by the God of the Jews. They dedicated the country to God and all it's foundational principles and...

If you have followed this series, you would have seen how the situation in the middle East moved from war over land and supremacy of tribes to supremacy of religion. Now, let me drive it deeper. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all claim to be the heir of Abraham who is one that the entire region belongs to. The Jews believe that a messiah will come and declare them to be the rightful heir and wipe out the other tribes. That messiah is Jesus Christ, but they do not believe Him because of the church age that Jesus added to the calendar. Daniel prophesied about a particular 70 weeks that will pass before the coming of the Messiah (Daniel 9). Now, the 70 weeks is actually 70 multiplied by 7 years. That's how it is calculated. 1 week is 7 years. So from that time, the Jews calculated it and on the end of the 69th week, Jesus showed up. For them, it was the perfect timing and one more reason why Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for not believing in Him despite their knowledge of the prop...

Abraham gave birth to many sons, but Isaac is the promised child who inherited the covenant. Isaac gave birth to Esau (the father of Edom) and Jacob (who was renamed Israel). Israel went to captivity in Egypt for 430 years before they came out and were officially declared a nation in the days of Joshua, son of Nun. They went through a period of being led by Judges before they moved into the days of the kings. During the reign of the Kings, the nation of Israel was made up of 12 tribes who were the direct sons of Jacob. The nation expanded greatly as a result of the wars the Lord helped them to conquer especially in the days of David. It was the greatest in the entire region. The great kingdom however broke up during the days of the grandchild of David- Rehoboam. Rehoboam placed a heavy tax on the Israelites and 10 tribes rebelled and formed another nation. Rehoboam was left with 2 tribes- Judah and Benjamin. The Kingdom of Israel and Judah after the separation The 10 ...

Abraham was the major focus of the middle East until Jesus Christ of Nazareth came on the scene. Jesus broke the barrier that held the promise of Abraham bound to the Jews alone and made it available to everyone that believes in His name. This was not the expectation of the Jews in their messiah. Their thought of the promised messiah was a person that would make them world power like in the days of David. The work of Jesus gave birth to a set of people referred to today as Christians and the religion known as Christianity. So, Jesus gave Christians a legal claim to the promise of Abraham and it has been evident in the history of the church that there is truly a covenant of Abraham functioning in the lives of Christians. This is much to the chagrin of the Jews who still hold on to the religion that came out of the old testament- Judaism. Jesus is considered by many Jews as simply a brother. At best, they regard Him as one of the persons who claimed to be the Messiah. They are sti...

I have been able to establish that mankind started from the Middle East, but we have seen many things spring from other parts of the world, but till today the middle East still holds a significance that cannot be taken away from them and that is the origin of every major religion in the world today. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all have their roots in the region that is known today as highly volatile. The middle East is very volatile because of the scamper for land and supremacy, however the major issue in this last days is religious supremacy. The middle East has been divided along the lines of religion. Judaism exists alone in Israel, Christianity is in tits and bits in the nations while Islam takes the biggest chunk. Spiritual pilgrimage in the world today is found in the same region. The question you would want to ask is: why are they all particular about the middle East? Judaism is the oldest of the 3 religions and the Jews cannot let go of some locations because i...

Some years ago, I began to ask a question about the Middle East. The region in the world referred to as the Middle East has been at the center of global events that contributed immensely to the shape of the culture of the world today. The role of the region has been so influential that I began to ask for the reason behind it. What is so special about the Middle East? Why is there so much attention on the Middle East? That was 4 years ago. Like Daniel in the bible would say, God, in His infinite Grace and Mercy has answered my prayers and given me understanding. This first series of 2020 will focus on giving believers in Christ understanding of the role of the Middle East in the plans of God for the earth in this last days. Please, make sure you read the series accordingly. Don’t skip any part. The bible started with the story of Adam and his wife, Eve. They were living in a place called Eden, the garden of the Lord, but after they fell, they were sent out of the garden and began...
