Israel and the Return of Christ

By Val Waldeck

Every time we pick up the newspaper, or hear the news on TV and radio, we find ourselves observing the fulfilment of prophecy firsthand, especially with regard to Israel. We have become so used to "watching the fig tree budding" that we that we do not always realize the significance of what is happening globally.

Well has it been said that Israel is God's prophetic clock. When we observe her closely, then we can see what God is doing in our world and how close the Coming of Jesus is. The "fig tree" is beginning to show signs of new life in our generation. The evidence is literally shouting at us.

Peace still seems as fragile as ever as Israel struggles with internal problems and re-elections. The Bible tells us that there will be a "peace agreement" signed with antichrist himself. This seven-year treaty will also be broken by him, resulting in greatest battle ever fought — the Battle of Armageddon — which culminates in Coming of the Lord to rescue Israel.

The fig tree is budding ... in our generation. The nations have an appointment with the Lord at Armageddon.

Introduction

THE LORD is coming at the appointed time. That is a definite and reliable fact. While the signs of the times are evident for all to see, many will be surprised and shocked at the suddenness of it all (2 Peter 3:10-12).

Wise indeed is the individual who has an understanding of the times (1 Chronicles 12:32) and who is watching for His Return (Matthew 24:42).

Now learn this lesson from THE FIG TREE: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away

(Matthew 24:32-35).
