Prophetic Hermon?
Hermon our Mount Hermon is a very important place in the Bible. It is thought by many to be the place where the infamous Watchers of the Genesis 6 account descended to Earth to mate with the daughters of men, bringing about the giants and eventual flood of Noah. Used a total of 13 times in the OT, the number for sin, death, and judgment, Mount Hermon is a strategic advantage point for Israel.
Mount Hermon was part of Israeli territory in the OT after Moses defeated Og, the giant King of Bashan, and two kings of the Amorites. The city of Aroer is also mentioned in these passages. More on that later.
And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amoritesthe land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon; (Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;) All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenitesand to the Gadites. And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants. Deuteronomy 3:8-13
It was Mount Hermon and the surrounding area that Joshua continued the conquest after Moses and distributed the land to the 12 tribes. The general vicinity held great battles of conquest.
As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses. So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same; Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal–gad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. There was not a citythatmade peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle. For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses. Joshua 11:15-20.
Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east: Joshua 12-1
You can see on this biblical map the locations of the mentioned circled and the tribal areas of the 12 tribes.
For all the wars that took place around Mount Hermon, Hermon means “a sanctuary” in the Hebrew language. Psalms 133 is very interesting. If we match the current year to Psalms prophetically as many do, then this Psalm is roughly 9 years from now. The brethren would be Jew and Gentile alike, Hermon representing the Gentiles and Zion the Jewish people. When will brethren dwell in unity…
Behold, how good and how pleasant it isfor brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. Psalms 133
Today Netanyahu visited Mount Hermon recently captured by the IDF. From this location the enemy can be seen for miles around. Netanyahu is God’s chosen King and perhaps even has prophetic tendencies as many of his statements since the October 7th attack have been just that. The people of Iran, sick of the suppression by the Islamic regime, are even calling Netanyahu their “avenger” and have even named a street in Tehran after him. Israel will continue to get stronger right up to the time of Jacob’s Troubles. The scene on Mount Hermon with Netanyahu and the IDF was eerily prophetic.
Statements from Netanyahu’s visit to Mount Hermon:
“Defense Minister Israel Katz on a joint visit with Prime Minister Netanyahu to the summit of Mount Hermon: “The Hermon summit is the eyes of the State of Israel to identify threats near and far. We look out here to the right at Hezbollah in Lebanon, to the left at Damascus– and across the way we see the State of Israel. The IDF is here to protect the communities of the Golan Heights and the citizens of the State of Israel from any threat, from the most important place where we can do so.”
“Prime Minister Netanyahu at the peak of Mount Hermon: “We will remain in this important place until another arrangement is found that will ensure Israel’s security.”
A very strategic place to mount a radar. “Experts show that if Israel installs a radar on the summit of Mount Hermon, Israel will have coverage all the way to Iraq”.
Remember the city of Aroer mention in Deuteronomy? The cities are mentioned again with the destruction of Damascus in Isaiah 17, and it will be once again the “children of Israel” that cause the damage. These cities reside in modern Jordan, revealing the extent of damage from this prophecy. I think from Israel’s strategic position on Mount Hermon, the decision will be made to attack Damascus.
The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Isaiah 17:1-2
In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation. Isaiah 17:9
President Trump, I believe is God’s chosen King to help usher in the end. Because he is evil, no, because the relationship, protection, and level of cooperation he will bring with Israel and Netanyahu will only make the world hate Israel more.
If you are familiar with all the events of Israel this past year, Psalms 124 certainly summed it up. It was miracle upon miracle for Israel.
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Psalms 124
Oh Damascus!
The face of the Middle East is changing very rapidly. Rebel forces backed by Turkey have made a huge swath through the Syrian Assad regime taking it out in less than 2 weeks. Assad has sent his family to Russia and as of this writing Russian media from the Kremlin: “former Syrian President Bashar Assad and his family members are in Russia. They were granted political asylum for humanitarian reasons”.
The last holdout for Assad was Damascus and has fallen into the hands of the rebels. The rebels or Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) is led by Abu Mohammad al-Jolani (previously Al-Qaeda). They are backed by Turkey.
Meanwhile, Israel has taken Mount Hermon in southern Syria. Listen to Netanyahu in this important announcement.
With no specific timeline, I will make a prediction and of course I can be 100% wrong. At some point we will see Isaiah 17 play out in Damascus under this new leadership. Israel will strike Damascus as the Rebels are more of a threat than the Assad axis was. Netanyahu had already threatened to destroy Damascus after Hamas attacked Israel in October of 2023. “The enemy wanted war, and it shall receive war. Israel’s actions will resonate for generations to come“. “IDF will destroy Damascus, target Syrian President Assad if Hezbollah joins war.”
Iran is weaker than ever now that their supply line to Hezbollah has been cut off by the rebels. And will only become weaker especially if Israel attacks their nuclear facilities. However, I feel they may play a role in Isaiah 17. In desperation, Iran may make a deal with the rebels to attack or harm Israel. You may remember the major blast at the port of Beirut caused by ammonium nitrate fertilizer back in August of 2020. One of the largest non-nuclear explosions on record. Supposedly there is still a much larger amount of this fertilizer in Damascus (placed by Hezbollah) which I believe will be the cause of that city’s destruction rather than nuclear.
There is yet too much prophecy in the general area for a nuclear explosion to take place. People would have to avoid that area for a very long time. If it is destroyed by the fertilizer, there is no radioactive fallout to avoid, and life goes on. Again, I could be wrong and nuclear is the destructive force. One thing is certain, the destruction is caused by Israel, but Israel will also suffer from this wide conflict. Not only is Damascus destroyed, but other cities in Jordan are abandoned.
In that day shall his strong cities be as a forsaken bough, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel: and there shall be desolation. Isaiah 17:9
And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean. Isaiah 17:4
The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Isaih 17:2
Isaiah 17 may also be the trigger for Ezekiel Gog & Magog war. Why? “And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:” Ezekiel 38:4. Turn thee back from what? The destruction of Damascus. Israel is becoming if not already the main superpower in this region and the Damascus ordeal will be too much for the enemy to dismiss and they will attack with a very large coalition to try and put an end to Israel’s victories. Regardless, it would be very difficult for Gog to march his army towards Israel if a nuclear warhead goes off in Damascus.
BTW, as I have mentioned, Gog is not Putin and Russia is not the leader of the Gog & Magog war. Identifying Rosh as Russia and Meshech as Moscow is a false analogy by making connections simply because words sound the same. Gog will be a spiritual entity (fallen angel). How do we know this? Gog will return at the end of the Millennial reign.
And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. Revelation 20:8
Just for fun, someone pointed out the similarity between Zelensky and Jolani. They even were the same clothes.
A statement from HTS: “We announce the end of this dark era and the beginning of a new chapter for Syria. In this new Syria, everyone coexists in peace, justice prevails, and truth is upheld”
We shall see.
Son of the Right Hand! Update.
I am reposting this entry from November 24, 2019, as I feel it is more relevant than ever. Netanyahu was the first world leader to congratulate Donald Trump: “Your historic return to the White House marks a new beginning for America and a strong renewal of the great alliance between Israel and the United States. This is a tremendous victory.”
Some of the facts have been updated below, others here.
Netanyahu is now 75 years old, and this is his 7th Knesset as PM (Israel’s house of representatives, the parliament).
On November 21st of 2019, thirty-one days after his 70th birthday, AG announces Netanyahu to stand trial for bribery, fraud and breach of trust. This is the first time in Israel’s history that a serving prime minister has faced criminal charges. Similarly, here in the United States, President Trump is under impeachment hearings, the first in 21 years since President Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives. Are Trump and Netanyahu inextricably linked? Are they part of God’s plan for the last days….
The name Benjamin in the Hebrew means “Son of the right hand” and Netanyahu is currently the longest serving PM in the history of Israel at 4991 days or 13.86 years as of this writing. Recently turning 70 years old, he was also the only Israeli born PM to take office until 2022 when Yair Lapid served briefly from July–December 2022.
President Donald Trump, in his miraculous win for the presidency in 2016, was born exactly 700 days before the nation of Israel was formed on May 14th, 1948. He has done more for Israel than perhaps any president in history. Today, President Trump is 73 years old. Abraham ‘departed’ from Haran at age 75….
The number of days between the birth of Trump and the birth of Netanyahu is 1225. Divided by 7 gives us 175, the number of years Abraham lived. It was through Abraham that God gave His blessings to all nations Gal 3:8. Trump, representative of the gentile nations and Netanyahu representative of Israel, the Jewish people. In these last days, think about that.
With both Trump and Netanyahu under attack, it seems the enemy is winning on all fronts and it is to be expected to a point. We know from the bible that there will be a falling away first prior to the rapture 2Th 2:3 and men will no longer endure sound doctrine 2Ti 4:3 while heaping treasure together for the last days Jas 5:3. All of this continues to come to past.
But all is not lost as the Lord, possessor of heaven and earth has never and will never lose a battle! It is hard to fathom the Lord will take His bride home limping and beaten in defeat. Vengeance and judgment belong to Him. Are we about to see the tables turn on the enemy in this late hour and see the victory of the Lord’s hand in all of this for both Trump and Netanyahu and the church?? Perhaps it has already started.
Prince Andrew kicked out of Buckingham Palace over Jeffrey Epstein scandal
Will the Epstein scandal lead to the fall of other prominent politicians. If the Lord decides to expose all the corruption that has been plaguing the political scene around the world, it will happen very fast. We may even see cases of treason. In the U.S., punishment for high treason is death.
The bible does not speak of a last day’s revival before the rapture, but that does not mean it can’t happen. This author believes the Lord will show His hand in a mighty way to bring honor and glory to Himself while blessing Israel and the church before the end begins. Let us see what the final Trump impeachment hearings and trial of Netanyahu brings.
October 7th mastermind Eliminated
Then said Jesus unto him, “Put up again thy sword into his place, for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Matthew 26:52
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar eliminated incidentally by a mortar shell fired at 3 terrorists one of which happened to be Yahya. On the body, the IDF found fake passports and lots of cash money as he was about to run from Gaza on his last leg to cross into Egypt and disappear. A miracle indeed!
The current conflict with Israel is the catalyst that eventually will lead to the 3rd world war of Gog and Magog.
The Fall of Islam
Back in October of 2023, I stated “I believe we are watching the beginning of the downfall of Islam”.
If you have been watching the news concerning Israel, you would know they are decimating their enemies starting with Hamas in the Gaza strip. Most of Hamas leadership has been eliminated. The Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon has had all of its leadership eliminated even taking out the new leader Hassan Khalil Yassin within one day of eliminating Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah. The exploding pagers and radios of Hezbollah by Israel was pure genius. Israel has removed a few of Iran’s high-ranking generals and have had success targeting strategic targets in Yemen. There are even reports as of this writing that the Syrian regime has lost contact with Maher al Assad, Bashar’s Assad’s brother, head of the 4th Division in a strike on his villa in Yafour in rural Damascus. According to the same reports, he was in a building that was attacked by Israel earlier today in the Yaafur area near Damascus.
Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN Yesterday said “the United Nations is a house of darkness… a swamp of antisemitic bile… It is an anti-Semitic Flat Earth Society” and THEN he went to his hotel to issue the order to take out Hezbollah HQ in Beirut. Netanyahu is the right PM for this time in Israel’s history. His name means the Son of the right hand.
Israel has yet to take action against Iran and Syria, but it is coming. To elaborate on Islam’s fall:
- All remaining prophetic enemies that come against Israel prior to the Tribulation are largely Islamic countries or at least have Islamic leadership. The one exception is the Gog & Magog coalition while majority Islamic, will include some non-Islamic countries. All are defeated by Israel with God intervening personally in the Gog & Magog war. This is not to say Israel will not suffer but will be a military superpower at the time of the signing of the covenant with the Antichrist.
- The one world religion going into the Tribulation is led by the Catholic church. Some say it will be a mix of Islam and Catholicism. But I disagree, more like Catholicism and New Ageism. There is even some belief the Catholic church is responsible for the creation of Islam and perhaps will become the scapegoat.
- In the entire biblical history, God has Always shown He is the one true God at the time of His choosing. It will be no different with Islam. It even states that during the Gog Magog war. “And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.” Ezekiel 38:16 “So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.” Ezekiel 39:7
Syria with the destruction of Damascus and Iran with the Prophecy against Elam must yet take place before the Gog Magog war. The prophecy against Egypt I am not sure if it is before or after the Tribulation begins, probably before. “Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.” Ezekiel 29:10 The tower of Syene was not present when this prophecy was made, so it is yet future. It seems Israel will destroy the Aswan dam at some point when Egypt betrays them.
What about our own country here in the U.S.? In early 2021 I was posting about the possibility of reformation, revival and justice at the hand of God. I will admit as time progressed, I became bitter to what was happening in our country and lost my belief in that. However, I am reminded that God is still in control and can do to His liking. Perhaps there is yet a small chance for that to happen here in the U.S. Let us pray that it will. Remember that King Saul tried twice to kill the future King David with a Javelin and missed both times. The year is quickly coming to an end, the make-or-break year for the U.S.
For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you. Deuteronomy 20:4
Jewish Temple update 8-2024
In my opinion, they are telegraphing in this video, especially towards the end. The time for the 3rd temple is very near.
The Temple Institute: Building the Holy Temple!
Looking for that Blessed Hope!
