“決定2017年及之後的關鍵17天”

為了直到1月20日的一個戰略性時刻，給予以色列以及列國的戰略性經文

最近幾天，我強烈感到撒旦可能會試圖挑起一場大規模的中東戰爭，甚至是第三次世界大戰。這並不在主的時間表之內，目的是為了中斷在中東以及列國的一次大收割。我的朋友及同事湯瑪斯•桑德爾（Tomas Sandell）是“歐洲為以色列同盟”（European Coalition for Israel）的總監。當我收到他發來以下題為“決定2017年及之後的關鍵17天”的禱告警報時，這段時期——即從現在到1月20日這一主要轉捩點——的緊迫性就特別向我顯明。我徵得了他的同意，引用他發出的部分內容：

“今天當我們在2017年第一次在位於赫爾辛基的ECI（歐洲為以色列同盟）辦公室一起禱告時，神突然給了一幅圖畫。我意識到接下來的17天（從1月3日到1月20日）可能會以一種很特別的方式定義2017年及之後幾年的方向。在1月15日星期天，由即將卸任的奧巴馬政府和法國政府所帶領的的國際社會，將召聚70多個國家參加一次國際和平會議，試圖建立“兩國方案”的範圍。這次會議是早前在巴黎的一場夏季會議的延續，並建基於最近聯合國安全理事會的2334號決議。該決議將爭議領土上的以色列定居點定義為非法。

這是一個在國際關係上史無前例的舉動，並明顯是計畫（陰謀策劃）要敵對以色列和即將上任的美國政府。很多人擔心這次會議會導致安理會在1月15日至20日間發出另一個決議，使以色列在國際社會中進一步被孤立，削弱和誣衊。”

倘若以上情況發生，將使恐怖組織或暴力國家更大膽採取行動，挑起區域性甚至世界性戰爭。這將發生在豐收的突破即將臨到中東的季節，很多人對此都有同感。最近我在中國大陸的一個團隊擔任講員，他們這個月將差派500名傳教士進入中東！

撒旦曾經在過去用世界大戰中斷一場大有能力的宣教運動。1886年誕生的“學生志願者運動”曾被主極大的使用：一批人數空前的年輕宣教士領受異象，從德國，英國和美國進入福音未到的列國，尤其是那些遠東地區的國家。那一場宣教運動被第一次世界大戰中斷。從這三個主要差派國家出來的年輕人，反被送進了一場這些國家彼此間的戰爭。許多人喪生，宣教運動戛然而止。

為了豐收，為了正在興起的宣教運動，為了主對以色列和中東的旨意，我鼓勵你在禱告（以及主可能帶領的任何禁食禱告）期間宣告以下的經文，至少要到1月20日。 我鼓勵你特別要向美國前總統吉米•卡特，總統奧巴馬，美國國務卿克裡，美國國務院，法國總統奧朗德，海牙的國際刑事法庭，聯合國安理會和瑞典外交部（瑞典將擔任聯合國安理會一月輪值主席國。瑞典外交部長瑪戈•沃斯特隆Margot Wallstrom已表現出對以色列的極端偏見）宣告以下經文：

詩篇33:10-11

耶和華使列國的籌算歸於無有，
使眾民的思念無有功效。
耶和華的籌算永遠立定；
他心中的思念萬代常存。

詩篇9:15-16

外邦人陷在自己所掘的坑中；
他們的腳在自己暗設的網羅裡纏住了。
耶和華已將自己顯明了，他已施行審批；
惡人被自己手所做的纏住了

約伯記5:12-16

破壞狡猾人的計謀，
使他們所謀的不得成就。
他叫有智慧的中了自己的詭計，
使狡詐人的計謀速速滅亡。
他們白晝遇見黑暗，
午間摸索如在夜間。
神拯救窮乏人
脫離他們口中的刀和強暴人的手。
這樣，貧寒的人有指望，
罪孽之輩必塞口無言。

詩篇120

上行之詩。
我在急難中求告耶和華，
他就應允我。
耶和華啊，求你就我脫離說謊的嘴唇和詭詐的舌頭！
詭詐的舌頭啊，要給你什麼呢？
要拿什麼加給你呢？
就是勇士的利箭和羅藤木的炭火。
我寄居在米設，
住在基達帳棚之中，有貨了！
我與那恨惡和睦的人許久同住。
我願和睦，
但我發言，他們就爭戰。

詩篇 2

外邦為什麼爭鬧？
萬民為什麼謀算虛妄的事？
世上的君王一齊起來，
臣宰一同商議，
要抵擋耶和華並他的受膏者，
說：我們要掙開他們的捆綁，
脫去他們的繩索。
那坐在天上的必發笑；
主必嗤笑他們。
那時，他要在怒中責備他們，
在烈怒中驚嚇他們，
說：我已經立我的君
在錫安-我的聖山上了。
受膏者說：我要傳聖旨。
耶和華曾對我說：你是我的兒子。
我今日生你。
你求我，我就將列國賜你為基業，
將地極賜你為田產。
你必用鐵杖打破他們；
你必將他們如同窖匠的瓦器摔碎。
現在，你們君王應當省悟！
你們世上的審判官該受管教！
當存畏懼事奉耶和華，
又當存戰兢而快樂。
當以嘴親子，恐怕他發怒，
你們便在道中滅亡，
因為他的怒氣快要發作。
凡投靠他的，都是有福的。

謝謝你與我們為中東的大豐收同站。

“17 days that may determine the direction of 2017 and beyond”

STRATEGIC SCRIPTURES FOR A STRATEGIC TIME FOR ISRAEL AND THE NATIONS THROUGH JANUARY 20TH

I have felt strongly in recent days that Satan might try to send a major Middle East war, or even World War III, out of the Lord’s timing, in order to cut off a huge harvest in the Middle East and the nations. The urgency of this time period leading up to the major transition point of January 20th was underlined to me when I received the following prayer alert from my friend and colleague, Tomas Sandell, the Director of the European Coalition for Israel, entitled “17 Days that may determine the direction of 2017 and beyond”. I asked his permission to quote part of what he sent:

“As we prayed together at the ECI office in Helsinki today for the first time in 2017 the Lord suddenly gave a picture. I realized that the next 17 days (from 3rd January to 20th January) may define the direction of 2017 and the coming years in a very special way. On Sunday 15th January the international community, led by the outgoing Obama administration and the French government, is calling together 70 nations to an international peace conference to try to establish the parameters for a two state solution. The conference is a follow up from an earlier conference in Paris in the summer and builds on the recent UNSC resolution 2334 which outlaws Israeli settlements in the disputed territories.

This is an unprecedented move in international relations which is being planned (plotted) in clear opposition both to the Israeli government and the incoming US government. Many fear that the conference could lead to another UN Security Council resolution being issued between 15th and 20th January, which would further isolate, weaken and stigmatise Israel in the international community.”

If the above scenario were to come to pass, it could easily embolden terrorist groups or violent nations to take actions that could spark a regional or even world war. This is during a season where many sense a breakthrough for harvest coming upon the Middle East. I was recently speaking in mainland China to a group that is sending 500 missionaries into the Middle East this month!

Satan has tried to cut off a powerful missions movement in the past by using a world war. “The Student Volunteer Movement” born in 1886, was mightily used by the Lord to envision and send an unprecedented number of young missionaries from Germany, Great Britain, and the USA into unreached nations, especially those of the Far East. That missions movement was cut off by World War I, and the young men being sent from the three main sending nations, instead were sent into a war between those nations, and many died, and that missions movement came to an abrupt end.

For the sake of the harvest, the rising missions movement, and the Lord’s purposes for Israel and the Middle East, I encourage you to proclaim the following Scriptures during your prayer (and any fasting to which the Lord may lead) at least until January 20th. I would encourage you to specifically proclaim them over former US President Jimmy Carter, President Obama, US Secretary of State Kerry, the US Department of State, French President Hollande, The International Criminal Court in the Hague, the United Nations Security Council, and the Foreign Ministry of Sweden (which will hold the rotating chairmanship of the UN Security Council during this month of January. The Swedish Foreign Minister, Margot Wallstrom, has shown an extreme bias against Israel):

Psalms 33:10-11

The Lord foils the plans of the nations;
he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.

Psalms 9:15-16

The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.

Job 5:12-16

He thwarts the plans of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.
He catches the wise in their craftiness,
and the schemes of the wily are swept away.
Darkness comes upon them in the daytime;
at noon they grope as in the night.
He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth;
he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.
So the poor have hope,
and injustice shuts its mouth.

Psalm 120

A song of ascents.
I call on the Lord in my distress,
and he answers me.
Save me, Lord,
from lying lips
and from deceitful tongues.
What will he do to you,
and what more besides,
you deceitful tongue?
He will punish you with a warrior’s sharp arrows,
with burning coals of the broom bush.
Woe to me that I dwell in Meshek,
that I live among the tents of Kedar!
Too long have I lived
among those who hate peace.
I am for peace;
but when I speak, they are for war.
Jeremiah 30:8 In that day, declares the Lord Almighty,
I will break the yoke off their necks and will tear off their bonds;
no longer will foreigners enslave them {in this context, speaking of Israel}."

Psalm 2

Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
“Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
“I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Thank you for your part in standing with us for Harvest in the Middle East.
