Welcome to Prophecy Q & A with Jimmy DeYoung!
Not a prophecy question. Jesus said to render unto Caesar what is Caesars and unto God what is God’s. This is our responsibility. The Bible tells us that there is no power in authority, politically (Romans 13), that God has not placed there, basically. They are ministers of God that He allows to head up states and nations around this world. However, we must be willing to follow the leadership of these nations. Military leadership comes under the civilian political leaders who give orders to those who may be serving in the military.
You don’t know if this will actually happen. Before anyone goes after Israel, Christians will be out of here, raptured into the heavenlies. I think that you are reigning in a supposition that really doesn’t have a lot of merit. Hopefully, this will help others who have to respond to governmental leadership.
Israel is a secularistic, humanistic government, and if the orders come that we are to go after Israel, you have to make a decision. You must understand that if you decide to go against your government, you have to be willing to pay the consequences. You have to make the decision if it will be against God or not.
In Acts 4, Peter and John were told not to teach or preach about Jesus Christ any more. Peter said that whether it is right in the sight of God or of man, we will do what God tells us to do and continue to preach the Gospel. But, you must be willing to pay the consequences, whatever they may be.
Jimmy DeYoung was a prophecy teacher and journalist who travelled the country and the world educating the Body of Christ of the future events foretold in God’s prophetic Word. His goal was to equip Christians with the knowledge and understanding of what God’s Word says will happen someday soon, so that they can make better decisions today. Dr. DeYoung went home to be with his Savior on August 15, 2021.
