It is not too unusual to hear someone say, “Bible prophecy is shaping up or being fulfilled every day.”

This is a day-by-day report of events from Mar. 24–30, 2019.

Sunday, Mar. 24: Sean Osborne (escatologytoday.blogspot.com) wrote that some are anticipating violence over Pres. Trump’s recognition of the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory.

Monday, Mar. 25: Pres. Trump signed the document recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Prime Min. Netanyahu was in Washington, D.C. for the signing; and violence erupted when terrorists fired a rocket from Gaza into Israel that struck a house and injured seven people including two children.

Mr. Netanyahu cut his visit short, ordered the deployment of two divisions of troops to positions near Gaza, and called up 1,000 reservists. 60 more rockets were fired into Israel, and Israel struck dozens of targets in Gaza.

Tuesday, Mar. 26: Terrorists fired 30 more rockets into Israel; the IDF struck 15 more targets in Gaza; and Prime Min. Netanyahu deployed more troops to positions near Gaza.

An anonymous senior terrorist was quoted in a newspaper as saying Monday’s terrorist attacks on Israel were ordered by Iran.

Officials in Egypt confirmed that the Iranians instigated the violence against Israel.

Wednesday, Mar. 27: Terrorists fired more rockets into Israel; the IDF struck more targets in Gaza; the IDF launched a major attack on Iranian targets in Syria; and some reports said there were loud explosions at Iranian sites in Syria for several hours.

Thursday, Mar. 28: Prime Min. Netanyahu continued to strengthen Israel’s forces near Gaza; he said an invasion of Gaza is a last resort; and he said Israel will continue efforts to prevent Iran from building up its weapons and forces in Syria.

Friday, Mar. 29: Palestinians and terrorists tossed hundreds of firebombs and grenades at Israeli troops, and these were answered with tank-fired shells directed at terrorist targets in Gaza.

Throughout the week, Egyptian negotiators tried to broker a truce; however, the terrorists kept upping their demands, including issues concerning the Temple Mount and Jerusalem—the cup of trembling, but nothing could be worked out.

Terrorists threatened major demonstrations along Gaza’s border with Israel, and Prime Min. Netanyahu warned that one mistake could lead to war.

Pres. Trump issued an order for U.S. maps to show that the Golan Heights are part of Israel.

It was reported that the Arab League has scheduled a Sunday meeting to criticize Pres. Trump’s recognition of the Golan Heights as Israeli territory.

According to the writer, the Arabs criticized Pres. Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, but they didn’t do anything about it.

It is the writer’s opinion that they will do the same thing regarding the Golan Heights: criticize Pres. Trump, but not do anything about it because they need U.S. and Israeli help in dealing with Iran.

Saturday, Mar. 30: There were demonstrations on the border; explosive devices and grenades were thrown at Israeli troops; the IDF fired shots and used tear gas; some people were injured (one critically).

Sunday, Mar. 31: Egyptian mediators were finally making some progress toward a truce, but few people believe the terrorists and their Iranian instigators will keep it for very long.

This is the point: When the disciples wanted to know the signs of Jesus’ coming, He said there will be wars and rumors of wars, and He told them to watch the Fig Tree (Israel).

Every day could be a day that someone does something that starts a war with Israel or a whole series of wars with Israel that relate to end-of-the-age Bible prophecy.

One mistake could be the beginning of a major event that will draw in many nations and signal that the latter days have arrived.

All of the signs suggest that people need to be ready, and the only way to be ready is to truly accept Jesus.

God didn’t reveal these things to scare people.

He revealed these things to show people that He is real; He is alive; He is still on the throne; He is in control and His Word is true; and He is demonstrating this every day that goes by.

First, in 2014, a powerful Islamic terrorist group called ISIS (Pres. Obama called it ISIL or the Levant) captured several cities and towns in Iraq.

The original Levant was a geographical area near the Mediterranean Sea in the Middle East that included Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, part of Saudi Arabia, part of Turkey, part of Egypt, part of Iraq and all of Israel.

Other Islamic terrorist groups quickly joined ISIS, and the group soon started calling itself a Muslim Caliphate (a Muslim kingdom).

God promised to bless those that bless Israel and to curse those that curse Israel.

He also promised that Israel will not be defeated at the end of the age.

In mid-March 2019, the ISIS Caliphate came to an end, and Israel still stands.

God’s Word is being fulfilled.

Second, the Bible says the nations around Israel will claim the mountains of Israel, slander Israel and make God angry at the end of the age (Ezek. 36:1-7).

God added that He will be on Israel’s side; Israel will possess the mountains and grow crops on them.

Israel captured the Golan Heights in 1967, annexed them in 1981, and is growing crops on some of them.

On Mar. 21, 2019, the U.S. recognized the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory, and God’s Word is being fulfilled.

Third, a Syrian official said, “The Syrian people remain committed to the liberation of the Golan Heights by all means at its disposal.”

The Word of God says Syria and Israel will get into a war at the end of the age; and Damascus, Syria, will cease to exist in one night (Isa. 17).

Syria would be wise to consider what has happened to ISIS and to read the above about the nations around Israel claiming the mountains and making God angry.

Syria won’t liberate the mountains of Israel because God has already liberated them and permanently returned them to His people Israel (Ezek. 36).

Fourth, on Mar. 22, 2019, Russia, Iran and Syria condemned U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, and Turkey quickly did the same.

A large deposit of oil and natural gas has been discovered in the Golan Heights, and some think these nations will try to take it.

It is clear that these nations will be part of a group that will attack Israel from the north in the latter years and latter days to take a spoil and a prey. This will anger God, and they will perish on the mountains of Israel (Ezek. 38:12, 15, 18-23).

Fifth, on Mar. 24, 2019, it was reported that the U.S. and Israel are anticipating a breakout of violence along Israel’s border with Syria and Lebanon at any moment due to U.S. recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

As a result, the U.S. has sent reinforcements to six U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria.

Sixth, on Mar. 21, 2019, U.S. Sec. of State Mike Pompeo was in Israel when Pres. Trump recognized the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory.

It was the day before the Jewish holiday called Purim, and he was interviewed by Chris Mitchell of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN).

Mr. Mitchell said, “Jews worldwide and here in Jerusalem are talking about the fact that Esther 2,500 years ago saved the Jewish people with God’s help from Haman” (a Persian or Iranian official that wanted to destroy the Jews).

Mr. Mitchell added, “And now, 2,500 years later, there’s a new Haman here in the Middle East that wants to eradicate the Jewish people just like Haman did: the state of Iran.”

Then, Mr. Mitchell asked, “Could it be that President Trump right now has been sort of raised for such a time as this, just like Queen Esther, to help save the Jewish people from the Iranian menace?”

Mr. Pompeo replied, “As a Christian, I certainly believe that’s possible.”

Israel will survive because God promised to protect her, and it is not too far-fetched to believe that God raised up Pres. Trump for Israel’s sake.
