much larger gathering by Christ Jesus is to take place in that area, after the work of Satan at Jerusalem is destroyed by Christ's coming.

 

 Zechariah 14: Read All.

Mark 13:1-3: Read All.

Thessalonians: Read All.

Isa 32:16   Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
17   And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

     This Chapter began in speaking of our King The Lord Jesus Christ reigning in judgment. That event of His reign upon Zion in Jerusalem hasn't happened yet. Nor has any true peace and quietness been restored in the Holy Land today. There's been a lot of talk about peace in Jerusalem, but we haven't yet seen it.

Isa 32:18   And My people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
19   When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.

     We don't see this happening in the Holy Land in our time either. Instead, thousands of Jews are being forced out of their homes in Gaza as I write this. Their dwellings certainly are not "sure dwellings" today. That "peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings" will only occur after Christ has returned to Zion and begins reign de facto on earth with His elect priests and kings, over all nations.

The "hail" event represents God's judgment upon the wicked. In the land of Egypt God rained hail down upon the Egyptians, but none fell upon the children of Israel who dwelt in Goshen .

 

Exo.9:23-26Read All.

 

God brought great hailstones upon the armies of the five pagan kings of the Amorites in Joshua's day;

 

 Joshua 10:11. And it came to pass, as they fled before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the Lord cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones that they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.

 

But there is still one more major hailstone event prophesied to occur, and it's for the latter days at Christ's second coming. We read back in;

 

 Isaiah 30:30:

 

Ezekiel 13:        Read All.

 

Ezekiel 39:

 

 Refer to the final hailstone event of

 

Revelation 16:17-21: Read All

 

That occurs on the 7th vial being poured out into the air. Just as God's people were protected through that event on earth in Egypt, His people who are not deceived will also be protected from
