The State of Israel meets death at Mt. Gilboa. “Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.” 1 Samuel 31:1

Today, Mount Gilboa still holds the name Mount Gilboa, and it is the place where Lebanon and Syria borders Israel, and more specifically borders the West Bank/East Jerusalem. The mess in the West Bank/East Jerusalem is attributed to covert operations coming through the area of Mount Gilboa. The State of Israel adamantly declares that their police and military action in the West Bank/East Jerusalem area is to battle against terrorism. Even so, the United Nations ae documenting the government of Israel as an international outlaw for their use of military and police action in the region. The Israelis of today are falling slain at Mount Gilboa.

When the armies of Israel were slain on Mt. Gilboa when the spiritually wicked Saul was acting as the king of Israel, he was not a person following the will of God. Today, the Israelis continue to reject God’s Son, Jesus Christ, as their Messiah. The judgment of God is coming against Israel at the hands of the global government, and we are witnesses to it happening today.

The government of the State of Israel sees their threat coming from the countries around Mt. Gilboa, which include Syria and Lebanon. Lebanon is where Hezbollah is housed which is politically charged and militarily armed against Israel. In Syria is the presence of the militarily aggressive Iran which is believed to have nuclear capabilities. Behind Iran in Syria is the military presence of Russia, which is definitely a nuclear powerhouse. On top of that, the land of the Philistines is actually in the Gaza Strip. All of those countries are enemies of Israel as they conspire against Israel at Mt. Gilboa.

“Then the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons. The battle became fierce against Saul. The archers hit him, and he was severely wounded by the archers.” 1 Samuel 31:2-3

The land of the Philistines, which is the Gaza Strip, is coming hard against Israel and all of their partners/sons. Those of the Gaza Strip are in “co-hoots” with the countries of Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and Russia, which gather in the region of Mt. Gilboa. It is obvious that a fierce political and armed battle is taking place in that Middle East region and the State of Israel is the target. The government of the State of Israel has been hit by the archers and is severely wounded. Even the United States refuse to stand with Israel against the “democratic” goals of peace and security of the United Nations (global government of the beast).

Even the citizens of Israel add to the severely wounded State of Israel by rioting and protesting against the government’s “right-wing” policies. They demand to be given their “democratic” rights as defined by the global culture. They welcome the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and say which enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. By what they say and do, they welcome anybody who shares in the global goals of the government of the beast (the United Nations). They have put out a welcome mat for infiltration by those of the region of Mt. Gilboa. By what they say and do, they establish themselves in the global society as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

Maps of Mt. Gilboa from where the death of Israel is taking place. It is interesting to note that the area of Mt. Gilboa is exactly a point of extreme worry for the government of the State of Israel today. In the pictures below, the arrows of the top map points to where the battle of Mt. Gilboa occurred between the Philistines and Saul’s Israel. The bottom map shows where that portion of Mt. Gilboa is in modern day Israel, which is where Lebanon and Syria border the land of Israel.

As seen in the maps above, in today’s times, Lebanon and Syria are right there on Mt. Gilboa bordering the State of Israel. The government of the State of Israel fears that their enemies are amassing armies in those countries to launch attacks against them (overtly or covertly). Their fear is much of the same extreme fear that Saul felt when he saw the Philistines amassing their armies in 1 Samuel 28:4-6. Also, the land of the Philistines is the Gaza Strip, an enemy of Israel. Even today, the State of Israel has much to worry about with the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Syria using their territory as a strategic point seeking to destroy the State of Israel. Also, Iran has a military presence in Syria and so does Russia. The conflict in the West Bank is blamed on covert infiltration as a coordinated effort to destroy the State of Israel.

Political “right-wing” suicide as a last stand against the global government of the beast. “Then Saul said to his armorbearer, “Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me.” But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.” 1 Samuel 31:4

Saul was already severely wounded by the arrows of the Philistines, now he wants his life to be taken by his own people. Saul can’t bear the thought of being killed and his body mutilated by his enemies. However, Saul put an end to his own life because his men would not.

Today, we see how the government of the State of Israel is severely wounded. The United Nations (global government of the beast) has made them an international outlaw. The masses around the world lift up their voice against Israel, claiming the government of Israel is a threat to the peace and security of the global culture. The Israelis are protesting against their own government demanding their “democratic” rights as defined by the global culture. And even the United States refuse to stand with the government of Israel against the global “democratic” goals of peace and security. Even though the USA stands with the Israeli citizens. Meanwhile, the battle at Mt. Gilboa rages on with an actively aggressive Lebanon, Syria, Gaza Strip, Iran, and Russia steadily approaching to end Israel’s life and further abuse the State of Israel.

Today, we see the severely wounded “right-wing” government of the State of Israel refusing to surrender their death into the hands of their enemies. They refuse to passively hand over their nation to the global government of the beast as they are fatally wounded for all the world to see. Many would say that maintaining a “right-wing” agenda is political suicide, but many would prefer to die that way than to passively surrender to the global “left-wing” alternative. The loyal “right-wing” supporters of the State of Israel refuse to contribute to the death of Israel but stand by as the government of Israel commits their own “right-wing” suicide. The loyal “right-wing” supporters would be like the USA who refrain from adding a nail to the coffin, but they stand aside to allow the government of Israel to commit their own political suicide.

Saul is representative of the government of the State of Israel. He was disobedient to God and refused to follow the word of God. Today, Israel is disobedient to God as they reject His Son Jesus Christ as their Messiah and the one sent to atone for sin. The judgment of God has come against them through the global government, and today we see them being shot through with arrows as they are obviously mortally wounded. The judgment of God against Israel will progress forward as the days move forward into severe global tribulation.

The enemies of Israel are the same enemies of God. That is why God is going to destroy those enemies after they destroy Israel. They are those who live by the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and say. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through people, and by what they say and do they come against Israel and God. However, defeating Israel is not defeating God! Jesus Christ is coming back in complete victory over all His enemies. Meanwhile, people choose to live by the thing forming their words and thoughts and by what they say and do are conformed to their place within the anti-God society. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

 “And when his armorbearer saw that Saul was dead, he also fell on his sword, and died with him. So Saul, his three sons, his armorbearer, and all his men died together that same day.” 1 Samuel 31:5-6

When the “right wing” loyalists see the death of the State of Israel, they will also continue in their traditions against the global government of the beast. This world calls that loyalty political suicide, but to the loyalists it is about refusing to surrender themselves to a hostile world agenda. Where Saul and Israel get it wrong is thinking that the battles in this world can be won without God and Jesus Christ. When Saul was rejected by God, and David was chosen as God’s anointed king over Israel, these words were spoken, “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7

As the Holy Spirit reminds us in Ephesians 6:12-13, “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

As followers of Jesus Christ, we are not engaged in a political fight, it’s just that those of this world has defined Christianity as “right wingers.” Which reveals we are living in the days where we followers of Jesus are categorized as an unwanted element in a world living for the global culture of the beast. As Christians, it is not about suicide of any type, but about the Spirit of life and eternal life. With that said, we will stand for the Lord Jesus even as we see ourselves being categorized as a target for extinction.

“Right-wing” supporters have abandoned Israel as the global culture dominates. “And when the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, and those who were on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.” 1 Samuel 31:7

When Saul, his sons, and armorbearer were dead and all Saul’s men had fled, all those who were led by them gave up their cities and ran. At that time, the Philistines took over the territory of the Israelites. Today, that is pretty much the description of the State of Israel. It’s obvious the Israelis have abandoned the “lame duck” “right wing” government leadership of Israel; they have abandoned their Biblical heritage. In their place has entered those who live by the leadership of the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and say. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them, and by what they say and do they have run far from their Biblical heritage. They are far, far from the “right wing” leadership of the State of Israel as they are conformed to their place within the global culture. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

Below is a photo of the masses who have left the mortally wounded leadership of the government of the State of Israel. Israel is now dominated by those who live for the global culture demanding their “democratic” rights (Including the right to kill the unborn and the promotion of the LGBQT+ community etc.). They have run from their Biblical heritage as they allow a formidable foreigner to dominate their land. The foreigner enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them by the thing forming what they say, do, think, and feel.

Headline for the above photo reads, ‘Damage is enormous’: Over 200,000 at first weekend rallies since overhaul law passed.”

The State of Israel is beheaded, stripped of their defenses, and displayed to the world.  “So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa. And they cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines, to proclaim it in the temple of their idols and among the people.” 1 Samuel 31:8-9

When a government has no headquarters, no think tank, no head of states, no top leadership, etc. that is being beheaded. When a government has no armor to defend itself from harmful intrusions, they are stripped of the ability to guard their governing structure.

Today, we see the State of Israel being beheaded and stripped of their armor. There is nothing the “right wing” head of states can do to counter the riots and protests coming against them. The Israeli people want their “democratic” rights as defined by the global culture. There is no reasoning nor head of states able to divert the demands of the masses. The “right-wing” government of the State of Israel, and close associates, are dead among the population of the Israelis.

The United Nations has labeled the government of Israel as an international outlaw for using police and military force to defend from aggression and encroachment on them. On top of that, the masses around the world protest against violence used by the heads of the State of Israel. The armor of the State of Israel is being stripped from them. They are being made defenseless within the Middle East region which are hostile toward the State of Israel. More specifically, they are made defenseless to defend against the agenda of the global government.

The thing that unites people as a collective force within nations around the world throws reason out the window when it comes to imposing its will on governments. The aggression and passive aggression of the masses are beheading governments and rendering them defenseless. The masses are empowered by the thing forming what they think, feel, do, and say and are placed on the same sheet of music in every city around the world. They are allowing the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They are conformed to the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

The masses depend on their dominant numbers as they discard any need for the goodness of the Holy Spirit, they feel no need for the forgiveness of any sin through Jesus Christ, and scoff at the idea of the existence of God. They don’t rely on “good sportsmanship” in politics, they rely only on the force of their numbers to seize power and authority. They are the engine driving the goals of the United Nations forward.

It has to be noted that the scriptures of the Bible make it clear that judgment comes against Israel by the hands of the masses of the global government. The judgment coming against Israel is for rejecting Jesus Christ as their Messiah, the One who God sent to atone for their sin. It is also made clear that the enemies of Israel are the same enemies of God. That one enemy is the global government of the beast. For that reason, those who come against Israel will suffer severe judgment against them. This present world’s system will steadily progress towards severe tribulation, marching forward into the global Battle of Armageddon.

Jesus Christ stressed His displeasure with Israel very strongly in the verses quoted below and told them if they claim God as their Father then they must love Him as well. Because of their rejection of the Lord Jesus, Jesus calls them the children of the devil.

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand My speech?

Because you are not able to listen to My word. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

John 8:42-45

The armor of the State of Israel is morally corrupted for all the world to see. “Then they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and they fastened his body to the wall of Beth Shan.” 1 Samuel 31:10

Placing Saul’s armor in the temple of Ashtoreth is just about where the armor of the State of Israel is today, and Israel’s body is being hung up on the wall for all the world to see. Below is the explanation of who the goddess of Ashtoreth is to better understand what happened to the armor of the State of Israel.

In the pictures below are images of the goddess Ashtoreth. The one to the far left is a sketch of the charisma of her sexual immorality which she represents but is usually depicted in the nude. The other two are actual statutes of the goddess Ashtoreth. Now, a peek is already being revealed into where the armor of the State of Israel can be found as Israel’s body is being hanged on a wall for the world to see.

What exactly does Ashtoreth represent? She represents a false god linked to fertility, sexuality, and war. Ashtoreth is associated with sexual practices condemned by the one true God and connected with the blurring of gender and direct attack on God’s moral standards. In Ashtoreth’s worship services, male worshipers committed sodomy with priests and priestesses of the goddess. Sexual acts between male and male worshipers and male and female worshipers were viewed as an offering to the goddess.

Why is the armor of the State of Israel found in Ashtoreth’s temple? In light of the global culture bringing spectacular growth to the LGBQT+ community, it is fairly obvious. The Israelis of today protest and riot against the “right-wing” government of the State of Israel. They want their “democratic” rights as defined by the global culture, and that includes demanding their LGBQT+ freedoms. The Israelis are playing a role in blurring gender roles and attacking God’s moral standards. The State of Israel has lost their “right-wing” armor as it is now in the temple of “Ashtoreth.” The body of Israel is being posted on the wall for all the world to see as the protests of the Israelis for their LGBQT+ rights are televised around the world.

The Jewish nation has rejected Jesus Christ from the time He first walked on this earth, and the Israelis continue their attack against what God has for them in Jesus Christ. They have chosen to live by the thing which forms what they think, do, feel, and say. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them and by what they say and do they conform to the global culture. They are conformed to their place in life within the global anti-Christian “democratic” society as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

The body and bones of the State of Israel are burned and buried. “Now when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, all the valiant men arose and traveled all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and burned them there. Then they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.” 1 Samuel 31:10-13

In the beginning of Saul’s leadership over Israel, he rescued the people of Jabesh Gilead from the Ammonites. When the people of Jabesh Gilead heard what had happened to Saul, the men went by the cover of night and got the bodies of Saul and his sons. They gave them an honorable burial. The bodies were burned, and the bones were buried under a Tamarisk tree, then they fasted for seven days.

Today, those who remember the noble beginnings of the Israelites, and recall the valiant men of God throughout the heritage of Israel, will want the State of Israel to have a decent burial. Read Hebrews 11 for a partial listing of the valiant men and women of faith in the Biblical history of Israel. Those who want to honor the heritage of Israel do not want the State of Israel’s headless body to remain hung in the site of all the world to see. By the cover of night, without drawing much attention, the death of Israel is quietly removed from being a lingering public spectacle. Those who honor the Biblical heritage of Israel mourn for “7 days” at her passing.

The burial of Israel is a grave of a “dry heap of bones,” which is the meaning of Jabesh Gilead. Or otherwise referred to as a “dry heap of testimony.” The death of Israel is a “dry” testimony to the judgment of God and the reality of Bible prophecy. The judgment against them is that they rejected His Son, Jesus Christ, and had their hand in His crucifixion. As we see the affairs of Israel being spotlighted through the news media of this dark world, we see the dry heap of bones, the dry testimony against them.

As followers of Jesus Christ, we keep an eye on Israel to gauge the progress of Bible prophecy. When the State of Israel was declared in 1948, Christians around the world knew we were in the final countdown of Bible prophecy. That is also around the time the United Nations (global government of the beast) was formed in 1946, as described in Daniel 8. Today, we are seeing the body of the State of Israel being spotlighted on global television as the Israeli’s protests for “democratic” rights flourishes. They are protesting for the right to kill the unborn and to normalize and grow the LGBQT+ community etc. They are protesting for conformity to the global culture against the “right-wing” government of Israel.

Today, the Israelis and the State of Israel are buried beneath the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and words. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them and by what they say and do their Biblical heritage is buried beneath dry bones as a dry testimony against them. They are conformed to their place within the global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

The Holy Bible is filled with astounding detail of the prophecy against Israel, who rejected Jesus Christ and had their hand in killing Him. Bible prophecy also refers to what is happening in the world today, and what is to come. A very simple song lives within me,

The B-I-B-L-E,
Yes that’s the book for me;
I stand alone on the Word of God,
The B-I-B-L-E.
