THE END OF DAYS IS MARKED BY--A CONFEDERACY OF HATRED FOR ISRAEL

The End of Days is Marked by a Confederacy of Hate for Israel We know from Matthew 24 and Luke 21 that when Christ Returns there is the Complete Encirclement of Israel by Mortal Enemies. In other words, God's people, Israel would be surrounded by enemy Nations. So who exactly is this passage speaking of? Who are these undesirable neighbors? While in some cases there is slight disagreement about who is the modern-day representative of each ancient name. Most people believe and agree that it is referring to Israel's immediate neighbors. The nations where the ten ancient people groups and tribes mentioned in Psalm 83 live today, are Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the Palestinian territories within Israel. Others believe that while some of these nations are easy to trace, others are more speculative. 'We do know that Assyria is the same as modern-day Iraq. And that the Ishmaelites, descended from Abraham and Hagar, were the progenitors of the Arabs. We know the Edomites and the Amalekites were descendants of Esau, and the Moabites and Ammonites from Lot, but to trace them today is well-nigh impossible. The Philistines inhabited the area now known as the Gaza Strip. The city of Tyre was located in what is now Lebanon. Gebal is the same as ancient Gubla or Byblos, located in Phoenicia. Some sources list the Hagarites as descendants of Hagar, and therefore a segment of Ishmaelites, but the identification is not positive. God goes on to say that He will allow a vast coalition to come against Israel, and describes them over 3,000 years ago in terms that we can understand today. These verses have never been fulfilled according to nearly every commentator of all eschatological views. These verses may give us an outline of that next war as a coalition of: Saudi Arabia; * Jordan; * Palestinians; * Lebanon; * Iraq/Syria; * But not Egypt They will attack Israel and seek to take over Jerusalem.
