In a message from Caesarea, Perry Stone gave a prophetic warning about the battle that is being waged over Israel.
Stone gave viewers a few questions to ponder about Israel.
“Why has there been such a battle for the nation of Israel, surrounded by nations that hate her, and why have the Jewish people been perhaps the most persecuted group of people on the face of the earth?” Stone asks.

Stone points to the time of Moses as prophetic symbol of what was to come.
“Moses predicted to the people ‘there will come a time in your future when you will wake up and wish to God it was night and when it’s night you wish it was day.’ He said, ‘There will come a time when nations will turn against you.’ But the prophets always predicted that based on the covenant God would bring the people back,” Stone continues.
Stone also says the war that is being waged over the heart of Israel is connected to the covenant that God made with them through Abraham.

“God made a covenant with the descendants of Abraham,” Stone says. “Then the Lord declares, ‘Out of you the nations of the world shall be blessed.’ So we see that God made a covenant with Abraham for a nation.”
Stone discusses how Israel built the First and Second Temple, literally bringing to earth what is of heaven. Israel is also unique to the rest of the world because it is through Israel that the Word of God and the prophets came.
“To them was given the oracles of God. The oracles are the writings of the Torah and the prophets. So, in other words, the prophets that we know that gave us the scriptures that prophesied of things to come. They prophesied about the appearance of the Messiah. They prophesied about the last days, what would happen. They prophesied about the Messianic kingdom,” says Stone.
So, a lot of the struggles and the warfare that Israel has faced relates directly to their unique positioning with God. Their existence declares that the Lord is real and that He is king over it all.
“Israel being re-established proves the existence of God and proves that the Bible is the Word of God,” Stone says.
Let us continue to pray and bless Israel as Scripture commands.
