Wilders Prophetic Warning – to Israel

Geert Wilders

The previous articles in this series analyzed parts of Geert Wilders speech to the Hudson Institute concerning Bible prophecy as it relates to Jews, Islam and Europe. This article will look at what Bible prophecy says about the threat of Islam to Israel. For the full text of Mr. Wilders’ speech, visit the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy website.

“Now, I would like to say a few things about Israel. Because, very soon, we will get together in its capitol. The best way for a politician in Europe to loose votes is to say something positive about Israel. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I, however, will continue to speak up for Israel. I see defending Israel as a matter of principle. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel. First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

Samuel Huntington writes it so aptly: ‘Islam has bloody borders.’ Israel is located precisely on that border. This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam’s territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel, they can get everything. Therefore, it is not that the West has a stake in Israel. It is Israel.”

Prophetic Gleanings

There are three motivations for the Arab desire to annihilate the Jews and retake both Israel and Jerusalem.

1) A portion of the Koran states that once a land has been conquered for Allah, it must remain an Islamic land. The Arabs conquered the land and city in the Middle Ages when they drove the Crusaders out. They now feel compelled by the Koran to reconquer it.

2) The re-establishment of the state of Israel is viewed by Muslim clerics as a judgment of God upon the Arab peoples for their lack of faithfulness to Islam. They must redeem themselves from this judgment by returning to the fundamentals of Islam and then, having been spiritually revived, Allah will empower them to regain both the land and the city.

3) Arabs believe that their control of Jerusalem and its Temple Mount will certify their superiority over both Judaism and Christianity.But, the very existence of Israel is the Achilles’ Heel for Islam. Bible prophecy makes it clear that the Jews are back in their nation for good (Amos 9:14-15). Both Islam at the beginning of the Tribulation and the Antichrist in the last half of the Tribulation will not be able to fully extract Israel from the land God promised them.

The next and last part covers Mr. Wilders’ warning to America.

  • I pray this Scripture over those who practice Islam, Psalm 83:13-17. God is able to rescue in many different ways, from enemies, sinners from sin, and more. Praise the LORD! Maranatha!

  • There will be many Muslims who turn to Yahweh when Allah is proven to be a false god after the Gog/Magog invasion of Ezekiel 38-39.

    One thing Nathan negleted to mention is that as long as the Jews remain in Isra’el, then Allah cannot be the true God. If they win by completely obliterating the Jews then Allah is God. And if the Jews win, then Allah is a false god.
