The Arrow

Ignoring Israel

Part 5: Israel Codex

Another fact that separates Israel from the rest of the world, is the annoying consistency of how the nation has always been surrounded by those who would seek her destruction. Israeli science has worked long and hard to develop instruments of defense against these enemy forces. In the books of Nahum and Joel, mention is made of these great “chariots” that have been developed. They are chariots that can leap to a mountain top and fire a missile that explodes and sets everything on fire. The modern Israeli tank is called a “Merkavah”, and it is the same Hebrew word used by those prophets hundreds of years ago.

Jeremiah the prophet once spoke of an instrument that would destroy Babylon, this weapon was called a “bright arrow”. As we know, however, Babylon, or as we know it today as modern Iraq, was never destroyed by a “bright arrow”. A Merkavah has a special rocket projectile that has contained within its shell certain secret abilities. Its name is not so secret, it is called the arrow! The arrow can easily penetrate tanks as well as buildings. During the Gulf War, America provided Israel with certain missile defense systems against those who would fire scud missiles into their country, and Israel added their own tech to the mix of defensive weapons. Today Israel now has a thing called the “Arrow Missile Defense System”.

Ezekiel himself has prophesy that outlines how the nation would no longer be split like the days of old when there was an Israel and a Judah. One could say that the process of all Israelis returning to the land is still in progress, and that is probably true, and will be true for a while yet. Wether or not the whole area of the Middle East will one day hold the descendants of Jacob is a matter for others to debate. Let’s just be honest though, at no other time has Israel been rejoined as one nation as it has today, with the super force that it now has, with the miraculous changes in the desert,  and that is saying something about our day and age.

Ezekiel’s words continue to come true ever since we crossed the 1948 date line. Israel was given re-brith on May 15, 1948, and this is important, for later on it would be found to have been important to the Torah. As with anything in this subject matter, one has to decide where your belief is going to lie. Will you believe God, or someone else? As anyone who has read the book will tell you, The Bible Code can be either an amazing find, or mere fodder for the atheists of the world. However, in the Bible Code, it explains how the entire history of mankind was found encoded within the text of the Book of Genesis. Already there are things predicted in the codes that have proven to be accurate. For instance, the leader of Romania who was killed in 1989, was actually discovered in the code, and also the fall of communism and the return to Israel of the Russian Jews.

The end is written from the beginning in the codes. In much the same way as an old Sherlock Holmes novel was written with the end laid out first, then worked backwards, so is the code of the future. Just as Doyle had his red herrings to throw the way of the reader, so one has to understand the way things are written and history is literally “backed into”, despite our lack of grasp of this process.

Patterns develop when studied at length, and you’ll only see these patterns if they mean anything to your understanding of how the future can be seen in the past. For instance, in the Bible if we look at the genealogy from Adam to Abraham, we see a list of men and their sons. We are given ages at the time of a son’s birth, and when we add the years up, we see patterns develop like a DNA helix under a microscope.

When we add up the years from Adam, the first man, to Abram the first Hebrew, the total is 1,948 years. And it doesn’t stop there, from the birth of Christ to the rebirth of Israel was also 1,948 years. Looking more at the future that involves the nation of Israel, one need only see the nations present at the beginning. Persia (Iran), Libya and Ethiopia are considered to be some of those involved at the end of times. For the first time in history, the nations of the end times are now aligning themselves for the end time battle of the war of Gog and Magog, and this could not have happened before 1948.

When the future becomes one of an Earth where Christ rules the planet from Jerusalem, not just a bunch of small angles playing harps in the clouds, the Feast of Tabernacles will be celebrated by the whole world. At least for those who want rain and seasons. There will need to be a huge accommodation for such crowds of people from the whole Earth. Roads, and plenty of food will need to be in abundance. Keep in mind that during the reign of Christ there is every reason to believe that the electronic needs of our day will be anathema in favor of complete naturalism. No cars, no planes, no cell phones, no TV or internet. (maybe, but it’s a good bet)

Isaiah wrote over 2,600 years ago that a miracle would happen in the land of Israel.

Isaiah 35:1-2

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as a rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given into it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.

For a desert or wilderness, as they called it, to blossom would indeed be a miracle. In the Hebrew there are certain words that relate to specific areas around Israel, not just any desert or wilderness. The primary word is Midbar, used with another word to give primary location. There is a huge region between Israel and Egypt called the Negev, a term not referred to in the English translation of the Bible. Without getting too technical, for those falling asleep with Hebrew text lessons, the area blossoming is the Aravah.

There are two areas identified as the Aravah. The first is the African-Syrian rift from the Sea of  Galilee to the Dead Sea on either side of the Jordan river. The second region is south of the Dead Sea and travels 120 miles toward the Gulf of Aqaba. This area has long been the most deserted and barren section of all the Holy Land area. There is no rain or underground water to support any sort of vegetation. Or so it would seem.

Not long ago, however, satellite tech revealed a huge underground water source in this very area. Drilling revealed a huge underwater lake! Modern farming tech took over and irrigated the area, and today we have the desert blossoming like a rose! When else in history could man have found this underwater lake in a desert? The Israeli desert.

Farms in this region now produce five times more product than the average American farm. The desert gives up tomatoes, peppers, melons, and dozens of other vegetables. The cows give more milk, about 4,000 gallons a year compared to the average American cow at 2,500.The barren wasteland of 5,800 years has become a bread basket for the Middle East, and only after 1948.
