Why I Love Israel :: By Daymond Duck

Published on: by RR10 Category:Daymond Duck, General Articles

On May 7, 2025, in view of Israel’s upcoming 77th anniversary, Joel C. Rosenberg (editor-in-chief of ALL ISRAEL NEWS), posted an article titled “77 Reasons Why I Love Israel as She Turns 77.”

Here are ten reasons from Rosenberg’s article:

>The rebirth of the modern State of Israel – on May 14, 1948 – was one of the greatest miracles in the history of mankind and the dramatic fulfillment of ancient biblical prophecies that most people in the world had considered fairy tales or lies, and believed would never come true.

>The very existence of Israel today – and the survival of the Jewish people throughout human history, despite so many attempts to destroy and annihilate us – is living proof that God and the Bible are true, for the Bible is His holy and powerful Word.

>God declared in the scriptures that He loves Israel: “The Lord appeared to him from afar, saying, ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, I have drawn you with lovingkindness’” (Jeremiah 31:33).

>God calls Israel the “apple of His eye”: “For thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘After glory He has sent Me against the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye’” (Zechariah 2:8).

>God declares that He dwells in Israel: “For the Lord dwells in Zion” (Joel 3:21).

>God made it clear in the Scriptures that He sovereignly chose Jerusalem – the eternal capital of Israel – as His very own city: “I have chosen Jerusalem that My name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel” (2 Chronicles 6:6).

>Jesus is the most famous Israeli of all time, followed and beloved by more than 2.6 billion people worldwide today.

>When the Messiah returns to govern the entire world for 1,000 years, He will come to Israel and live in – and reign from – Jerusalem. (See Zechariah 12 and the Book of Revelation.)

>80% of American Evangelicals believe the rebirth of the State of Israel in 1948 was the fulfillment of Bible prophecy; only 20% view it as merely a geopolitical event unrelated to God’s promises. (See Alliance for the Peace of Jerusalem survey by LifeWay Research.)

>The New Testament reaffirms, over and over again, God’s great and enduring love for Israel and the Jewish people, and explicitly rejects the heresy that God is finished with the Jewish people. As the Apostle Paul wrote, “I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew” (Romans 11:1-2).

Here are some reasons why I love Israel.

  • Jesus was born and raised in Israel, and His ministry was in Israel.
  • The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus for the sins of the world was in Israel.
  • The Church began in Israel.
  • Believing that Jesus died on the cross for me is my only hope of going to heaven.
  • My hope of being raised from the dead and seeing my saved loved ones again depends on Jesus Rapturing His Church.
  • Jesus will return to Israel at His Second Coming.
  • Jesus will occupy the throne of David and rule from Israel during the Millennium.
  • God promised to bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel.
  • The Holy Spirit caused Holy followers of God (mostly Jews) to write the Scriptures.
  • I love to study the Bible and Bible prophecy, but it would be meaningless without Israel.

Here are some recent reports that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near.

One, concerning America’s relationship with Israel, the division of Israel, and God blessing those that bless Israel and cursing those that curse Israel: on May 8, 2025, World Israel News (WIN) reported that:

  • It appears that Trump is seeking an agreement with Saudi Arabia to allow the Saudis to have a civilian nuclear program, to sell a lot of weapons to the Saudis, to guarantee the defense of Saudi Arabia, to increase the U.S. military presence in Saudi Arabia, and to receive massive Saudi investment in the U.S.
  • Saudi Arabia is insisting that Israel end its war with Hamas before any deal is reached and demanding that Israel publicly commit to Palestinian statehood – things that Prime Min. Netanyahu is refusing to agree to.
  • Trump has lost his patience with Netanyahu and is preparing to move forward with major initiatives in the Middle East without Israel’s involvement.
  • Trump is also angry for what he perceives as Netanyahu’s attempts to maneuver the U.S. into striking Iran’s nuclear program.

(My opinion: I hope this report is wrong. God has warned the world that He will drag the nations into the Battle of Armageddon for dividing the land of Israel.)

(Update: On May 9, 2025, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham said, “I would like to make it crystal clear that I will never support a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia or other elements of a proposed deal that does not include normalizing the relationship with Israel as a part of the package. Normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel is an essential element.”)

(Update: On May 9, 2025, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called reports that Trump will recognize a Palestinian State “nonsense.” And he called reports of division between Trump and Netanyahu “reckless” and “irresponsible.” We will soon know.)

Two, concerning deceit: on May 8, 2025, it was reported that Iran has been running a secret nuclear weapons site for ten years that was disguised as a chemical production facility.

Three, concerning Pres. Trump’s upcoming trip to the Middle East: on May 11, 2025, Tania Curado-Koenig (wife of Bill Koenig) reported:

  • That Trump is planning to attend a meeting with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince, the Palestinian Authority’s Pres., Syria’s new Pres., and Iran’s Foreign Min. (Muslims who want to see the division and destruction of Israel, not peace in the Middle East) without the presence of anyone from Israel.
  • Among other things, they plan to discuss Iran’s quest for nuclear weapons and a ceasefire in Gaza without any input from Israel.

According to Koenig, on the night of May 11, 2025, Trump’s Special Advisor to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, accused Israel of prolonging the conflict (in Gaza) and called for an agreement to be reached immediately, regardless of Israel’s military strategy (goals).

(My Opinion: I want to wait until the meetings have been held before I pass judgment, but dividing Israel and forcing a peace treaty on Israel is the kind of thing that will bring on the Rapture and Tribulation Period.)

(Update: On May 13, 2025, with Trump’s 60-day ultimatum to Iran almost up, Trump said, “If Iran’s leadership rejects this olive branch and continues to attack their neighbors, then we will have no choice but to inflict massive, maximum pressure… and take all action required to stop the regime from ever having a nuclear weapon. Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.”)

Four, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: plans are being prepared for Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin to visit Iran.

Putin’s visit is expected to strengthen the strategic partnership between Russia and Iran, with implications for regional security and international diplomatic relations.

Five, during his trip to Saudi Arabia, on May 13, 2025, Pres. Trump announced that he will remove all sanctions on Syria.

Turkey is now helping Syria rebuild its military.

This will cause great pressure on Israel to stop attacking targets in Syria.

(My Opinion: Damascus, Syria, will still be destroyed in one night, and Turkey will still be defeated in the Battle of Gog and Magog.)

(Update: On May 15, 2025, it was reported that removing some of the sanctions on Syria will require Congressional approval, and there is skepticism in both parties over doing that. Much depends on the new Syrian government’s attitude toward Israel.)

Six, during his trip to Saudi Arabia, on May 13, 2025, Pres. Trump signed several agreements with Saudi Arabia.

The Saudis agreed to invest $600 billion in the U.S. over the next four years.

Saudi Arabia also agreed to purchase $142 billion worth of weapons from the U.S., and they agreed to invest $20 billion dollars in AI projects in the U.S.

Seven, during his trip to Saudi Arabia, on May 13, 2085, it was reported that all the parties that met with the U.S. and Saudi Arabia were in consensus about not wanting Iran to get nuclear weapons.

Eight, during his trip to Saudi Arabia, on May 13, 2025, it was reported that the UAE agreed to invest $1.4 trillion in the U.S. over the next decade.

Nine, during his trip to Qatar, on May 12, 2025, Pres. Trump signed an agreement that is expected to be worth $1.2 trillion.

Ten, concerning corruption at the end of the age: on May 8, 2025, it was reported that in an interview with Lara Trump, Elon Musk said at least 100,000 active federal employees who were being paid to work also filed for and received unemployment insurance.

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.

Convergence: Accelerating Storm of Prophetic Fulfillment :: By Joe Hawkins

Published on: by RR10 Category:General Articles

At Prophecy Recon, we track and analyze the most critical signs of the times, and there’s one word that consistently rises to the surface: convergence. We are not witnessing isolated prophetic fulfillments in a vacuum—we are watching them stack, align, and accelerate together with an intensity that can no longer be dismissed.

Jesus warned in Matthew 24 that the last days would be marked by deception, wars and rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, persecution, and global unrest. While these signs have occurred throughout history, never before have they all escalated simultaneously, across every Prophetic Hot Zone.

Apostasy is overtaking the church, global control mechanisms are being put in place under the guise of peace and safety, Israel stands surrounded and isolated, and technologies once thought impossible are now paving the way for a beast system.

This is the essence of convergence—prophecies that once seemed distant or symbolic are now developing in real time, on parallel tracks, all racing toward the same terminal point.

As watchmen, we are not called to predict the day or hour, but we are commanded to stay awake and recognize the season. The signs aren’t random; they are prophetic indicators pointing to the soon return of Christ. And as the storm clouds of fulfillment gather, our mission is clear: stay alert, speak truth, and warn others—because the trumpet could sound at any moment.

Stay Awake. Keep Watch.

If I Were The Devil…In The 21st Century

A revision to Paul Harvey’s famous poem from 1965, “If I Were The Devil.” I believe that this poem encompasses the world as we see it today.

If I were the devil, If I were the Prince of Darkness,

I’d use progress as my disguise.

I wouldn’t rage against you—I’d seduce you.

I’d trade horns for hashtags, and flames for fluorescent screens.

And I wouldn’t rest until I’d infiltrated every corner of society,

But my prize—the one I’d sink my fangs deepest into—would still be Thee: America.

I’d begin by rebranding sin as self-expression.

I’d whisper into children’s ears,

“You were born in the wrong body,” and into their phones,

“Your feelings define your truth.”

I’d twist compassion into compromise,

and tolerance into tyranny.

I’d use the rainbow—not as a sign of God’s covenant,

but as a banner of rebellion waved proudly in My parade.

If I were the devil, I’d digitize deception.

I’d replace pastors with influencers, and pulpits with platforms.

I’d fill minds with artificial intelligence, while emptying souls of eternal wisdom.

I’d preach salvation through science, immortality through machines, and unity through global governance.

And I’d call it progress.

If I were the devil, I’d get your children addicted—Not to pills and powders alone,

but to pixels and porn.

I’d keep them scrolling while their Bibles collected dust.

I’d sell them virtual pleasure in exchange for real purpose.

I’d make sure they never heard the name of Jesus—unless as a curse word or a myth.

I’d infiltrate your schools with gender confusion, your churches with false teachers, your governments with globalists, and your nations with division.

I’d convince pastors to trade prophecy for popularity, and sermons for psychology.

And then, once I’d silenced the watchmen, I’d move in for the kill.

If I were the devil, I’d make morality relative, history revisionist, and truth a hate crime.

I’d turn fathers passive, mothers prideful, and children rebellious and entitled.

I’d destroy the family, redefine the sacred, and laugh as society crumbled beneath the weight of its own pride.

If I were the devil, I’d build a digital Beast.

One that sees all, tracks all, and eventually marks all.

I’d call it convenience.

Cashless, wireless, contactless, soulless.

I’d build a world where no one can buy or sell unless they bow to Me—and they won’t even realize it, because I’ve already trained them to scan their palm and scan their soul.

If I were the devil, I wouldn’t need to roar—I’d only need to whisper:

“Trust the system.”

“Love is love.”

“You’re your own god.”

And I’d smile, because you’d believe me.

Yes, if I were the devil…I’d keep right on doing exactly what I’m doing.

And you?

You’d keep calling it freedom.
