For those interested in understanding the historical background of the establishment of the modern state of Israel and her existing relationship with her Arab neighbors. A special thank you to Guest Writer for this research.
MINI-HISTORY OF ISRAEL / PALESTINE BY GUEST WRITER
Since it has been around 50 years since I studied world history, I did a little research on Israel and Palestine. Of course, it’s extremely abbreviated, but I found the following to be the relevant points to today:
Ancient Times. The United Kingdom of Israel, under kings Saul, David and Solomon existed from 1020 to 922 BC. In 922 BC the northern kingdom of Israel was established but was destroyed in 720 BC when it was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire. From 63 BC to 313 AD, this area was ruled by the Romans. (In Jesus’ time, ancient Palestine was part of the Canaan region, which encompassed the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, ruled by the Romans.) In 138 AD, whatever remained of the kingdom of Israel ceased to exist when the Roman emperor Hadrian crushed the Bar Kochba revolt (revolt of the Jews against the Romans) and banned all Jews from Palestine. Over the years, the area once inhabited by the Jews/Israelis was under the rule of various conquerors – Byzantine (313-636), Arab (636-1099), Crusaders, Mamluk, and Ottoman (1099-1917).
Solomon’s temple was constructed in 957 BC, destroyed in 586 BC, rebuilt in 516 BC and destroyed again in 70 AD. Many Jews believe that this temple must be rebuilt before the Messiah can come. However, in the 7th century, the Al Aqsa Mosque was built on this site and is considered one of the holiest sites in Islam – Muslims believe that this is where Mohammed ascended into heaven.
Modern Times
British Rule. In the 1840s, the Jews (who were referred to as Zionists, indicating more of a political than religious orientation) garnered the support of the British crown and in 1897 declared their intent to recreate the state of Israel and established the First Zionist Congress. Zionists claimed to be non-religious, but they were mostly Ashkenazy Jews. In modern times, Zionists are those who support the state and rights of Israel and are not only comprised of Jews, but also many Christians.
In 1917, the region was ruled by the British under British Mandate for Palestine, which supported establishing areas for both Palestinians and Jews in the region of Palestine. In the same year, under the British government’s Balfour Declaration – which established British support for the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish People – British groups seized control of Palestine on behalf of the Zionists.
From 1920 to 1948, the whole region of Palestine was under British rule under this British Mandate (whereby the British also ruled Iraq and Syria). Prior to 1948, there was no Palestinian state established – the related territories had been administered by Jordan and Egypt. During this time, the area of Palestine was populated by Jews, Christians, and Arabs. In 1948, the Jewish State of Israel was proclaimed, whose territory was part of the ancient land of Israel.
League of Nations/UN. In 1922, the League of Nations adopted the Balfour Declaration. In 1947, the UN adopted Resolution 181, known as the Partition Plan, which sought to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish States. This granted parts of Palestine to the Zionists. In May 1948, the State of Israel was created.
1948 Arab Israeli War. The creation of Israel sparked the first Arab Israeli War. The Arabs invaded the Israeli area to block this Partition, but the Israeli ultimately prevailed. As a result, from 1947-1949, Palestinians were made refugees and expelled from the homes of their ancestors. Villages were destroyed and thousands of Palestinians were murdered.
1967 Six Day War. Arabs attacked Israel; Israel defeated the Arab armies and gained territory four times its original size and became the military power in the region. Note that the temple mount on which the Al Aqsa Mosque stands has been occupied by Israel ever since the 1967 War. Recall that Zionists believe that the Temple of Solomon must be rebuilt on this temple mount (in order for the Messiah to come).
1973 Arab Israeli/Yom Kippur War. Egyptian and Syrian forces attacked Israeli forces in an effort to regain territory lost during the 1967 War. Israel prevailed with the help of US. Note that the Soviet Union was on the side of Egypt.
VIDEO: Ghost – Fourth Horseman Of The Apocalypse MSNBC – Egyptian Riots (Original Full Video)
* Ghost can be seen at mark 1:17 minutes
VIDEO: Babylon the Great – Islam (9:24 minutes)
* Speaks about the Fourth Horseman of the Apocalypse being Islam * In different prophecies, JESUS has identified the antichrist as Muslim (Islam) * NOTE: The Book of Truth given to Maria Divine Mercy by JESUS identifies Babylon as fallen Rome (false Catholic Church united with European Union), but the Book of Revelation can be read in many spiritual layers all bearing some truth in interpretation
Book of Revelation, The Four Horsemen, Chapter 6, Verses 7-8
7 When he broke open the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature cry out, “Come forward.” 8 I looked, and there was a pale green horse. Its rider was named Death, and Hades accompanied him. They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and plague, and by means of the beasts of the earth.

LOCUTIONS TO THE WORLD
February 18, 2011 “The Demonstrations in the Street”
JESUS
The media covers the rioting of the people on the streets but the people with real power are not on the streets. They are in hiding. The real evil lies not in the demonstrations that all can see, but in the evil which no one can see. They are like bombs planted to go off. When they explode, they will not hit the center, Israel. I know the timetable of darkness. When they do hit the center (Israel) my plan for the Holy Father will be ready to be implanted.
February 21, 2011 “The Earth Tilts Towards Evil”
JESUS
Everything is tilting towards evil and darkness. This has been going on for some time but there is no longer any balance. All has shifted and there will be a quickening of events. All will culminate in the events that I will describe.
At this point, no one can quell the uprisings. They are fires that will continue until all the wood is consumed. Then, like any fire, they will burn themselves out. However, Satan never intended these fires to accomplish his final goal, the destruction of Israel. The purpose of these fires was to weaken all the protection, all the buffers around Israel. This is what is happening but this is not meant to be Satan’s final attack.
February 21, 2011 “Significance of the Egyptian Uprising”
MARY
The forces of evil have passed the point of no return. The ultimate clash between good and evil is inevitable. Many view the uprising in Egypt in a positive way. They see that a dictator has been removed. However, you must see it in another way, that a war has broken out.
Many see the uprising as good but this is the way Satan acts. He gets people to do his work by making them think that they are pursuing their own goals. Later, when they have done his work, he reveals himself. Then it is too late to do anything. See this clearly. Egypt is the first step towards the ultimate confrontation.

THE BOOK OF TRUTH (Maria Divine Mercy)
“Arab uprising will spark global unrest – Italy will trigger fall out” Tuesday, April 26th, 2011 @ 20:10
My dearly beloved daughter, the Tears I shed for all My beloved, tortured children in the world, who are the victims of violence and abuse are never-ending. My poor, precious children are suffering everywhere, all over the world and especially in the Arab world. How I agonise over their suffering, those poor, helpless souls. Please pray for them, My daughter, by offering up your own suffering for them.
The atrocities being committed in the Arab world, will sadly, continue, as more Arab nations will be embroiled in a series of conflicts. The time for the first of the assassinations I spoke to you about last February will take place shortly. The Arab World uprising will spark unrest indirectly in every corner of the world.
Italy will be instrumental in the fallout which will trigger the involvement of global powers in a war – all these events are inevitable, but prayer can ease suffering. Pray, My daughter, that people will turn to Me and ask Me for help and guidance through these times of turmoil.
I do not want to see My children suffer. But suffer they will, until the Truth is revealed during The Warning. Pray now for those misguided dictators who kill innocent souls.
I call on My sacred servants around the world to accept that the prophecies predicted in the Book of Revelation are now unfolding. Spread the Truth of My Teachings and save your flock before time runs out. Go now. Do your duty to Me. I call on those of you who have watered-down My Teachings to stop now. Look into your hearts and tell My people the Truth that they cannot, and will not, be saved until they seek forgiveness for their sins. They must humble themselves in My Eyes and ask Me to give them the Gift of Redemption.
You, My sacred servants, must now play the role for which you were chosen. Be brave. Preach the Truth.
YOUR LOVING SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST
“Wars involving Iran, Israel, Egypt and Syria interlinked” Saturday, February 4th, 2012 @ 10:55
My dearest beloved daughter, your loyalty to Me is tested every day. So many try to stop you in your Work for Me, yet they cannot do this because of the Holy protection afforded you from the Heavens. Those who try to inflict pain, suffering and abuse on you will be punished. I will not tolerate such action.
Remember, it has been foretold that no man can stop the Fire of the Holy Spirit, which will pour forth from My Most Holy Messages for the whole of mankind.
I ask, therefore, that you continue to ignore the obstacles placed before you and ignore the hatred for it comes from satan.
Engage with hatred and it spreads.
Ignore it and it will die because it cannot find the nourishment it needs to grow and fester.
Now, I want you to tell My children that the events foretold in the Book of Revelation are now unfolding in the world.
My children, must not be frightened because their faith and their prayers will help dilute the effects of war, genocide, famine and apostasy.
Wars will emerge, which involve Iran, Israel, Egypt and Syria. All will become interlinked.
So too, will Italy suffer the fallout, which is connected to the rise of the false prophet and his partner the antichrist.
Pray hard that all countries are not drawn into a global power, which will control your money. For should they succeed, it will be very difficult.
Pray to God the Father, so that he can stave off such atrocities.
Prayer for the souls of others will save your own souls. That is all I ask. Prayer.
Pray, too, for conversion.
It is not long now for all things to make sense, My daughter. All be well once conversion takes place after The Warning.
Go now and tell my children never to fear when they proclaim My Word. I will be standing beside them.
If they are mocked, they can be sure of the Truth of this, My Most Moly Word.
YOUR BELOVED JESUS
“The four parts of the world I refer to are the four big empires – the US, Russia, Europe and China” Tuesday, September 24th, 2013 @ 11:18
My dearly beloved daughter, the four parts of the world I refer to are the four big empires – the US, Russia, Europe and China. All prophecies foretold will involve these powers, around which all the upheavals in religious and political structures will occur.
Syria and Egypt, through the unrest in their countries, will become the catalysts for a greater war, which will involve the four great powers. Each of these powers will be connected in order to create a unified regime, which will be used to control the global wealth and population.
The religious war will be central to this control and the appointed leaders in My Christian Churches will be overcome and destroyed in preparation for the beast, who will control all four empires. None of the rulers, who defy the Word of God or who try to destroy His children, will be given the authority by God to take, by force, those whose names are in the Book of the Living. And while I speak of Christians and the need for them to remain true to Me, I also refer to the Jews because their protector, Michael the Archangel, will watch over them and help them to withstand the persecution which they, as God’s chosen people, will also have to endure.
God’s Plan has been created and all the angels and saints in Heaven prepare now, to help Me in My Mission to unite all and protect those who love Me from the great deceit, which has been created to fool the world. Never before has the wickedness against God been so co-ordinated by the human race as it is today. Never before has mortal man been capable of inflicting so much suffering, through the seizure of power in order to control, as it has at this moment of time in history. The great persecution against God’s children, created by Satan with the willing support of evil, power hungry men and women, in positions of great power, is unfolding before your eyes. Yet, many of you cannot see because you have been fooled.
Wednesday, September 11, 2013 (12th Anniversary of Twin Towers)
Jesus said:“My people, you remember how the pharaohs used to worship the god of darkness, and they relied on sorcery to call on evil powers. There are still Satanic priests carrying on occult practices from their ancestors in Egypt. It is in Egypt where the Antichrist will be anointed for his evil task of ruling the earth for a brief time. I also came up out of Egypt before I started My ministry in Nazareth. There are many occult roots in Egypt that the Antichrist will use to gain power as a world ruler. My faithful need to be ready to leave for My refuges before the Antichrist comes to power. After the Warning you are to get rid of all of your electronic devices out of your homes so you do not look at the Antichrist’s eyes. He will be a demon incarnate, and his eyes could hypnotize you into worshiping him instead of Me. Call on Me to bring My angels to protect you during the tribulation.”
Thursday, April 24, 2008
Jesus said:“My people, this empty chair with Egyptian markings on it represents the chair of power for the Antichrist. He will be going to Egypt to be anointed by the high priest of Satan. He will be put in charge of the European Union and he will have his brief reign before I will bring his power to a close with My Comet of Chastisement. Do not have any fear of the evil ones, for I will protect you from being persecuted when you are made invisible. Trust in Me and you will soon see My victory once you see the Antichrist taking his seat of power.”
AFTER THE WARNING SEQUENCE OF PROPHESIED EVENTS LEADING UP TO the reign of the antichrist
Brief Introduction (by a soul):
This is a summary of the sequence of prophesied events that take place after The Great Warning leading up to the reign of the antichrist. It is based on heavenly messages found in the Book of Truth given to 7th Messenger and End-Time Prophet, Maria Divine Mercy.
If you are interested in having a downloadable copy of this summary, as well as reading the heavenly messages relied upon from the Book of Truth, please see this blog page:
Summary of Sequence of Prophesied Events in the Book of Truth (Maria Divine Mercy)
I. The Great War, the antichrist, Babylon, and the mark of the beast
There will be an escalation of lesser wars culminating into a Great War (WWIII) in the Middle East.
A power struggle between Egypt and Syria will draw the four big empires — U.S., Russia, Europe and China into a final battle centered in Israel.
Israel will suffer a genocide worse than WWII.
Millions of people will be killed and many nations will be involved through alliance with the four big empires.
Nuclear weapons will be used.
When wars are raging everywhere and all seems hopeless, the antichrist (“man of peace”) will suddenly appear on the world stage in Jerusalem and negotiate a peace treaty in which Israel will give up its sovereignty in an unlikely alliance with Palestine.
Then the antichrist will move at a quicken pace in negotiating peace agreements in many war-torn nations.
Very soon afterwards the antichrist will become involved in philanthropy and he will link up the main world banks to create a new, powerful, financial institution called “Babylon”.
In Holy Scripture, the beast with the ten horns “Babylon” is the European Union; the “Bear” is Russia and the “Red Dragon” is China.
Then the antichrist and the false prophet will create a global partnership — the greatest humanitarian initiative as part of “Babylon.”
All will be told that “Babylon” is to glorify the great one (God), promote the environment/mother earth, and rid the world of poverty.
All four big empires will become connected in this one world union “Babylon”.
Soon afterwards, a religious war will take place to maintain control under “Babylon.”
Christians and Jews will be targeted and persecuted by the antichrist and his followers in a “political state-church” that will rule with a communistic-like control (“Dragon”).
A mark of allegiance (“mark of the beast”) will be introduced suddenly to promote unity among people as part of “Babylon.”
The mark of the beast will control all money, all access to food, and all places where people live.
The mark of the beast will have “666” embedded into a microchip that will be taken like a vaccination in the human body.
The mark of the beast will cause spiritual death of the soul and also a terrible physical disease (plague) designed to reduce the world’s population.
When “Babylon” is fully formed, God will intervene by tilting the world on its axis and throwing fire upon one third of the earth to warn His children of the consequences of embracing the greatest abomination conceived by hell.
Then a great famine will take place, but it will not be caused by God, but by the deliberate contamination of the earth by the antichrist.
Sexual immorality will increase as the Battle of Armageddon intensifies.
Nakedness will become acceptable in public, as well as obscene sins of the flesh in public places.
Abortion up to the day of delivery and murder even among children will be so common in society that many will become immune to any feeling of compassion.
II. Summary of how the antichrist will be enthroned in the one world church
Once the antichrist appears in public in Jerusalem, at the same time, everything in the Catholic Church will change quickly.
There will be an event where the false prophet will be seen at death’s door, but he will recover and many people will be fooled to think he has been “miraculously” healed and favored with great, supernatural powers from Heaven.
“Miracles” will be created by the hand of the false prophet and he will be worshiped, loved, and admired as a “living saint.”
Many people will believe that the miracles of the false prophet are taking place to herald the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
The antichrist will be involved in the decision-making to launch a new one world religion.
The false Catholic Church will publicly call for the unification of all religions.
The false prophet will control all religions in the world and prey on the love of those who know the Truth.
Hundreds of thousands “false prophets” will arise, endorsed by Church leaders, promoting a new missal (New Age/satanic), with the objective to prepare the world with great anticipation for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
Grave errors will be revealed by them in connection with the Book of Revelation.
The main biggest lie they will promote is that Jesus Christ (“Son of Man”) will appear in the flesh and walk among His people and will raise them up on the last day.
The True Christian Church will be thrown out of Rome and endure a number of years of desolation.
Mortal sin will be declared no more and the Sacrament of Confession will stop, because many will believe that all people will be forgiven by God and so all will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
All pagan festivals and satanic ceremonies and rituals will be integrated into the false Catholic Church seen as a “holy communion” between all religions.
It will be hard for the Remnant Church to remain faithful because they will be pressured by the great celebrations, ceremonies and rejoicing preceded by the antichrist to welcome him into the false Catholic Church.
People will applaud the new one world church saying it is a great miracle created by God.
The antichrist will show great honor to the false prophet and many people will applaud the alliance between politics and religion.
When the great deceit is recognized, many priests will become so fearful, they will leave the service of the Church; hundreds of thousands will be excommunicated for failing to obey; and others will be martyred.
At this point, holy priests will need to seek out refuges to lead the True Church in secret where they can provide the daily Mass and Holy Eucharist until the last day.
To gain legitimacy among Catholics, the image of the Mother of God and the prophecies of Fatima will be deliberately used to promote a false sense of security.
The sign that the antichrist is about to be seated on his throne in Rome will be the Tabernacles will be replaced by wooden versions and the Holy Eucharist will no longer be present in the false Catholic Church.
There will be a lavish coronation held to seat the antichrist on the throne of the one world union.
The antichrist will declare he is a devout Christian and will use Holy Scripture in his speeches to impress people with his knowledge.
Every Word in Holy Scripture regarding the Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be adapted and twisted backwards to convince the world they are witnessing the return of Jesus Christ.
The antichrist will be a master of many languages which will be used to bring unity among people quickly.
The antichrist will not speak Latin.
Weary Christians will be relieved to see the antichrist because they will think he is “God-sent” and an answer to their prayers.
The antichrist will lie that he is Jesus Christ by declaring he has come in the flesh “finally” at this time.
It will be impossible for the antichrist to allude to the real Jesus Christ Who came in the flesh by His death on the Cross–the antichrist will declare the fact in reverse.
The antichrist will use the stigmata to convince people that he is Jesus Christ.
The antichrist will work many great “miracles” where he will cure the sick and terminally ill.
A series of false apparitions, in which the image of the sign of the Holy Spirit will be seen, will appear everywhere, which will mock the supernatural sign left by God at true Marian apparition sites like Medjugorje and Garabandal, etc.
The antichrist will have a hypnotic appeal that will cause people to worship him.
The antichrist will say that his elevation to the top of the false Catholic Church is the sign of the Second Coming.
The false trinity is satan, the antichrist, and the false prophet.
In the end, through satanic rituals, the antichrist will be seen to ascend into Heaven.
The real Jesus Christ will be seen descending upon the clouds–the reverse of when He ascended into Heaven–just as He promised.
The antichrist and all his slavish followers will be thrown into the lake of fire.
