Question: How did ancient Israel become so powerful?
Because in BC times, despite their renegade nature towards Almighty God which is summarized in Malachi, they did not reject Christ Jesus finally until Acts 28:25–28!
At that point they became Lo-Ammi (not My people), and the Good News Message was concentrated on the Gentiles.
The Lo-Ammi state of Israel is only in place until the end of this AGE TIME, which looks to be ending soon.
The fact of their return to “the promised Land” in 1948 augers the change that will take place when the world’s moral decay has reached a point of unacceptable level regarding God’s presence!
There will be much anti-Israel false propaganda and action leading up to the massive change that is yet to be, but despite much manoeuvring by her enemies, they will not prevail against the Forces of Almighty God, and the Return to Earth of His Christ!
It is very interesting to note what is the first Action by the Glorified Christ -Jesus; He will deal with the “controversy of Jerusalem/Zion”, Isa. 34:8!
Matt.24–25 is a good summary of what is to be seen to happen, and cannot be stopped!
The failure of "the children of Israel" to obey and honour Jehovah and Moses, also to acknowledge the first Advent of Jesus the Christ. His Crucifixion and death; fulfilled the curse of God on Satan in Eden, (Gen. 3:15), and has become God's Great Salvation offer to all of mankind, after Acts 28:28!
Future events: The "peace Covenant for Israel"; negotiated by the appearance of Anti-Christ; who will be accepted as "the Christ" by many of the world's religions! The Tribulation of Satan on Israel. The simultaneous (Wrath of God) on the unbelieving Nations of the world. The massive world population reduction (World Population Reduction). The "Battle of Armageddon", when many Nations will try to eliminate Israel. The Second Advent of the True Christ, in "Power and great Glory". The judgement of the Nations by Christ, into "sheep and goats" Matt. 25:31-46. (See: The Sheep and Goat Judgement). The establishment of The Millennial (1,000 years) Reign of Christ/God from Jerusalem.
In all of the above, Satan will still attempt to "be as God". He will be present in the Anti-Christ, the Tribulation of Israel, the Nations attempting to eliminate Israel; and his defeat will not be evident, until the remnant of Israel are saved by Christ Himself! It is not until this stage that Satan will be bound, and cast into "the bottomless pit", to be bound for 1,000 years; when his final attempt "to be as God" will be enacted, prior to his destruction. See: Satan Bound; Rev. Chp. 20:2 (a) (c) & (d). and Satan's release from the pit; Rev. Chp. 20:7(a). At that time Almighty God will be totally vindicated, and will be seen by all to be, Ultimate Love.
