Short and Sweet. Zephaniah 2 states:

Gaza will be abandoned
    and Ashkelon left in ruins.
At midday Ashdod will be emptied
    and Ekron uprooted.

Yesterday (August 3, 2024) I read this article in the Jewish Press

At least five long-range rockets were fired at the area around the southern port city of Ashdod at midday Sunday, prompting a decision by the city to open its public bomb shelters.

The way I’m reading this, the city of Ashdod emptied at midday. You can decide for yourself whether this is fulfilled prophecy or maybe an event yet to come in the future. Which ever it is, it sure caught my attention.

And once again I point out that this was written about 2,600 years ago. What if Israel remained all part of the Roman Empire? What if Egypt occupied all this area? What if Gaza was under the control of Israel? What if there were peace and harmony forever in this region?

If you write something 2,600 years ago the variables produced by history, by man, by governments are staggering to calculate. And yet the Bible nails it. 100% spot on. Gaza is a mess, Ashdod empties, Ashkelon catches rockets from Gaza all the time. I’m not sure about Ekron. But whatever it relates to you can be sure it will be fulfilled.

The Bible is the literal Word Of God that declares the beginning from the end. God tells you what is going to happen so you’ll know he’s God. The Bible predicted the coming of Jesus TO THE DAY. And the Bible contains 2/3rds more prophecy regarding the end of days than it does the coming of Jesus.

Buckle Up.
