A Prayer to Frustrate the Conspiracy Against Israel
“Do not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” ~ Psalm 83:1-4
Do the headlines below from just the last several days sound like these verses in Psalm 83?...most of the Psalm 83 confederacy is currently active in the pursuit of the destruction of Israel, as is seen below in current news, these things are occurring before our very eyes, in the fulfillment of Bible prophecy:
Terror Alert Raised to Second Highest Level Across Israel
Police around Israel were ordered on Sunday to operate on its second highest alert level after a 22-year-old Palestinian was shot and killed by police Friday night and the ensuing riots in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the Galilee…on Saturday night, Palestinian rioters began the strike, carrying out violent attacks across Israel…http://www.breakingisraelnews.com/24022/terror-alert-raised-second-highest-level-across-israel/#eCQl3hiICdZWafIW.97

Sinai: Terrorist presence becomes full-fledged insurgency
There is now a working relationship between the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, and a rejuvenated, enlarged Ansar al-Maqdis that has incorporated other local jihadist groups. There are reports from Syria that former Egyptian officers with jihadist sympathies, who had fled Egypt and now serve as a mainstay for ISIS intelligence, are involved. In other words, this is now a full-fledged insurgency, in all likelihood operating from bases in Gaza close to the border with Egypt, and staffed increasingly by Egyptians and Gazans. …http://english.alarabiya.net/en/views/news/middle-east/2014/10/31/Sinai-Terrorist-presence-becomes-full-fledged-insurgency.html

We will return it to the Stone Age and bury [Nasrallah] under the rocks.” ...http://www.timesofisrael.com/minister-if-hezbollah-fires-rockets-at-israel-lebanon-will-be-razed/#ixzz3I9EtiE25
…and the Psalm 83 prayer continues…
“For they have consulted together with one consent;
They form a confederacy against You:
The tents of Edom [Palestinians and S. Jordanians] and the Ishmaelites [Saudis]; Moab [Palestinians & central Jordanians] and the Hagrites [Egyptians]; Gebal [Hezbollah & N. Lebanese], Ammon [Palestinians & N. Jordanians], and Amalek [Arabs of Sinai]; Philistia [Hamas of Gaza] with the inhabitants of Tyre [Hezbollah an S. Lebanese]; Assyria [Syria & N. Iraqis] also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot [Moabites and Ammonites, thus the modern day Palestinians will be the principal power engaged in the confederacy against Israel. The others come to assist them].” ~ Psalm 83:5-8
And while the Psalm 83 confederacy gathers against and surrounds Israel, the Ezekiel 38, 39 coalition of Islamic nations, lead by Russia, continues to not only take prophetic form, but their conflicts and distain for Israel continue to grow. Again, these articles are just from the last several days…as you know, three of the main warmongers of Ezekiel 38,39 are Russia, Iran and Turkey…
“On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan…You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land” Ezekiel 38:10,16

Czar Putin Wants a Russian Empire
The truth is that Vladimir Putin is looking to reclaim Russia’s old empire…Putin considers himself a modern-day Czar, and he’s intent on reassembling the territories that were historically part of the Russian Empire…http://www.wallstreetdaily.com/2014/10/30/putin-russian-empire/…Czar “Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh” has his sights on Israel - make no mistake about it…the recently discovered natural gas and oil fields of Tamar and Leviathan gives Israel an unprecedented degree of energy independence as-well-as a lucrative export market to its Arab neighbors. And, they threaten to challenge Russian energy giant Gazprom’s dominance of the European gas market…Ezekiel 38 tells us that God will ‘put a hook’ in Gog’s jaw to ‘plunder and loot’ Israel. Israel’s natural gas fields and future oil discoveries are likely the ‘hook’ that draws the Russia lead confederacy into a (not too distant) future war with Israel?
…the Psalm 83 prayer continues…
Deal with them as with Midian [Numbers 31 describes the Midian War - Moses commanded one thousand males from each of the twelve tribes of Israel to destroy the cities and the warriors of Midian. The "false prophet" Balaam was killed, along with the five Midianite kings]
As with Sisera [Sisera was commander of the Canaanite army of King Jabin of Hazor, in Judges 4-5. After being defeated by the Israelite tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali, Sisera was killed by Jael, who hammered a tent peg into his temple]
As with Jabin at the Brook Kishon [Jabin was king of Canaan, worshipers of Baal - Elijah had the prophets of Baal slaughtered at the brook Kishon]
Who perished at En Dor [Jabin and Sisera, and the army under them, perished at this place which is mentioned along with Taanach and Megiddo in Joshua 17:11, which are the places where the battle was fought between Jabin and Israel]
Who became as refuse on the earth. [they became as dung for the earth; being unburied, they lay and rotted on the earth, and became dung for it; see Jeremiah 8:2, or were trodden under foot, as dung upon the earth]
Make their nobles like Oreb [Oreb was one of the chieftains of the Midianite host which invaded Israel, and was defeated and driven back by Gideon] and like Zeeb [“They captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two princes of Midian; they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb and Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb, while they were pursuing the Midianites. They brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon across the Jordan” Judges 7:25],
Yes, all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna [Zebah and Zalmunna were the two kings who led the Midianites who invaded the land of Israel, and were routed by Gideon (Judges 8). The kings were taken alive, and confessed that they had personally taken part in the killing of Gideon's brothers - they were put to death]
Who said, “Let us take for ourselves
The pastures of God for a possession.” ~ Psalm 83:9-12
…the Psalm 83 prayer concludes…
O my God, make them like the whirling dust,
Like the chaff before the wind!
As the fire burns the woods,
And as the flame sets the mountains on fire,
So pursue them with Your tempest,
And frighten them with Your storm.
Fill their faces with shame,
That they may seek Your name, O Lord.
Let them be confounded and dismayed forever;
Yes, let them be put to shame and perish,
That they may know that You, whose name alone is the Lord,
Are the Most High over all the earth. ~ Psalm 83:13-18
…and the conclusion of the Gog Magog coalition?…
“…when Gog comes against the land of Israel,” says the Lord God, “that My fury will show in My face. For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken…And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.”’ ~ Ezekiel 38:18,19,22,23
We are at the door-step of the fulfillment of these very significant prophetic events!
“Do not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!”
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels." Psalm 122:6-7
May PM Benjamin Netanyahu and his Cabinet members be like “the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do”… I Chronicles 12:32
...and as the U.S., Israel’s #1 ally continues to throw Israel under the bus, and placates to their #1 enemy:
Obama sent letter to Iran's Khamenei; Israel kept in the dark
U.S. President Barack Obama sent a secret letter to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, last month, in which he wrote that the two nations have shared interests in fighting the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria...The White House did not inform either Israel or America’s Gulf State allies, like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, about the letter...http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/1.625144
…Israel’s BIGGEST and true ally has the following promise:
“The Lord also will roar from Zion,
And utter His voice from Jerusalem;
The heavens and earth will shake;
But the Lord will be a shelter for His people,
And the strength of the children of Israel.” Joel 3:16
