MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

Israel has been surrounded by Muslim majority nations since its miraculous rebirth in 1948 and is well aware of who, and what, those nations are. The real issue, however, is not the failure of Israel to recognize the lands that surround them, but rather the apparent failure of Muslim majority nations to recognize whose land THEY surround. And the LORD God, who knows the end from the beginning, has already foretold us what’s in store for them …

Joel 3:1-2, 11-12, “For behold, in those days and at that time … I will gather all the nations … And I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up MY LAND … Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves there … for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.”

Ezekiel 35:5-11, “‘Because you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the punishment of the end, therefore as I live,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘I will give you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you … Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the LORD was there, therefore as I live,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your envy which you showed because of your hatred against them …’”

Zechariah 14:12, “And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths …”

MEMRI – “Following the November 11, 2023 joint meeting in Riyadh of the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Pakistani commentators expressed dismay that the heads of the states and governments of Islamic countries who attended the meeting failed to submit any credible plan against Israel or to help the Palestinians in Gaza.

According to a statement on the OIC website, the Arab and Islamic leaders adopted a resolution, which among other things, mandated that the general secretariats of the OIC and the League of Arab States ‘establish two specialized legal monitoring units to document all the crimes of the occupation authorities in the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023 and to prepare evidence on the Israeli violations’ and demanded ‘that all countries stop exporting weapons and ammunitions to the occupation authorities that are used by their army and terrorist settlers to kill the Palestinian people and destroy their homes, hospitals, schools, mosques…’ The statement did not mention Hamas.

Reacting to the joint resolution, Pakistani columnists – Mirza Ishtiaq Baig writing in the Urdu daily Roznama Jang and Lt.-Gen. (retd.) Talat Masood in the English-language daily The Express Tribune – accused the Islamic and Arab leaders of ‘merely giving speeches.’ This report will review excerpts from their columns.

Following are excerpts from Mirza Ishtiaq Baig’s article, as translated from Urdu:

… ‘Muslims all over the world faced severe disappointment when the joint emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League in the past few days turned out to be a mere sit-in …’

‘… all leaders failed to take any economic or political action or any tough decision against Israeli actions in Gaza, and division prevailed among them. Later, in the joint declaration, Israel’s claim that it was launching attacks on Gaza in self-defense was rejected, while a demand was made for the United States and Europe to cease providing weapons to Israel and for the United Nations Security Council to pass a decisive resolution to prevent Israeli aggression.’

‘The frustration over the fruitless meeting of the OIC can be gauged from the statement of the Deputy Secretary General of Hamas, Muhammad Al-Hindi, in which he said: ‘We had no expectations from the emergency meetings of the OIC and the Arab League, nor did we have any hope from these meetings because we have been seeing the results of such meetings for many years.’

‘… Among the leaders of Islamic countries, the speeches of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi were appreciated by Muslims…’

‘Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who visited Saudi Arabia for the first time in March after improving relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, said that Israel is committing the worst crimes in the history of the world in Gaza, and the world of Islam should unite for an immediate solution to the problem…’

Following is an excerpt from Lt.-Gen. (ret.) Talat Masood’s article, originally in English:

‘… ‘The tacit, unbridled support of the U.S. has encouraged Israel to defy international opinion and commit crimes against humanity. But Israel rulers will be naïve and short-sighted if they fail to recognize the hard reality that they are surrounded by Muslim-majority countries where the broad masses consider Israel the aggressor and usurper of lands. The U.S. and Western support can go that far but eventually justice and human rights will prevail…'” Read more.
