Kameel Majdali's Road Ahead

Ezekiel 38:2 (KJV) Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him. 2 Peter 1:19 (KJV) We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts. Matthew Henry’s Commentary of Ezekiel 38   ... this prophecy, it is most probable, had its accomplishment some time after the return of the people of Israel out of their captivity ... If the sacred history of the Old Testament had reached as far as the prophecy, we should have been better able to understand these chapters, but, for want of that key, we are locked out of the meaning of them. Introducing Gog and Magog With war in the Middle East raging and potential apocalyptical scenarios remaining a possibility, it is prudent to explore the vital subject of Bible prophecy. It is a light that shines in a dark place (2 Peter 1:19). A signif...

That you do not become sluggish but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises - Hebrews 6:12 In our changing, trying times, the one thing we need above all else is divine patience; it can help you plough through the obstacles and keep going unto victory. More than that, it is a key to receiving the promises of God. Abraham had it, and so did Job - what about you? In Part One we defined and described what is Biblical patience, based in part from James 5:7-11 . You can read it for yourself at http://majdali.blogspot.com/2023/09/patience-key-to-unlocking-blessings-of.html The paragon of patience was the patriarch Job. Few people have suffered as much as this man. He was exceedingly blessed by God and then tragedy hit on many fronts: in one calendar day, he lost his flocks, workers, and children. If that weren’t enough, he lost his health. His wife told him to let go of his integrity: just curse God and die. Fortunately for him and us, he did not listen to her. ...

Jesus Christ to the church at Philadelphia in Asia Minor -Revelation 3:8 : I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. For a person who is an organic pessimist, there is plenty to be pessimistic about: A furious war in the Middle East rages with the possibility of going regional, if not global (and let’s not forget Russia and Ukraine are in a similar situation). Economists warn of an economic crash - not a correction - the biggest since the stock market crash of 1929. A US Presidential election is in November; even at this early date, it is shaping up to have much turbulence and drama. The UK goes to the polls this year and the outcome is anyone’s guess. The culture war is going into a higher gear, pitting the woke left against conservatives and their new allies - common sense liberals.   The great universal shaking (Haggai 2:6; Hebrews 12:25-29) continues...

As of this moment, Israel is at war. Not just the ‘state of war’ it has been in since its birth in 1948. It is an actual hot, fierce, and furious war. And unlike earlier wars in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1969-70, 1973, 1982, 2006, and earlier Hamas wars (2008, 2012, 2014), this current war presents an existential threat to the Jewish state and the world. We have learned that Israel’s current war is multi-dimensional:   Bi-lateral Dimension : This war is between Israel and Hamas;   Regional Dimension : Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Iran to the east are also part of this conflict;   Civilisational Dimension : It is a fight between ‘Christianised’ Western civilisation and the part of the non-Western world that is rabidly anti-Judaeo-Christian.   Theological Dimension : Judaeo-Christian (Biblical) eschatology vs. Islamic eschatology. Eschatology is the doctrine of last things or end times; Spiritual Dimension : Ultimately this earthly conflict is a proxy war fo...
