Convergence, The Last Days

Israel at the Center of Convergence: Jerusalem, Covenant, and Conflict

Rooted & Raised

Every global system eventually turns its eyes toward Israel. While the world debates economies, climate, and technology, all roads converge on Jerusalem — the city God chose for His name.

Headlines declare: “UN Pushes Two-State Solution with Renewed Urgency” and “World Leaders Call Jerusalem an International City.” Global leaders see Israel as the key to peace and stability, but the Bible reveals that Israel will be the epicenter of the final conflict before Christ returns.

Agenda 2030’s Peace Mandate

Agenda 2030 proclaims:

“We pledge that no one will be left behind.” (UN Preamble, 2015)

This language is often applied to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Goal 16 — building peaceful and inclusive societies — is regularly invoked to justify renewed pushes for the two-state solution.

But dividing Jerusalem and Israel’s land is not compromise. It is rebellion against God’s covenant.

Current Events in Motion

  • Renewed international pressure for a Palestinian state.
  • Growing calls to divide Jerusalem as a shared or “international” city.
  • Escalating tensions over the Temple Mount and Jewish prayer rights.
  • UN resolutions overwhelmingly against Israel’s sovereignty.
  • Israel caught in the middle: pressured globally, threatened regionally, and divided internally.

The convergence of politics, religion, and global governance finds its focal point here.

Prophecy Foretold This

The Bible is clear that Israel and Jerusalem are at the center of end-time prophecy:

  • “Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples… a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it.” (Zechariah 12:2–3, c. 500 BC, NKJV)
  • “Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; but in the middle of the week he shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.” (Daniel 9:27, c. 530 BC, NKJV)
  • “I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land.” (Joel 3:2, c. 835 BC, NKJV)
  • Jesus warned: “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place… then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” (Matthew 24:15–16, c. AD 60, NKJV)
  • John foresaw: “The holy city they will tread underfoot for forty-two months.” (Revelation 11:2, c. AD 95, NKJV).

Israel and Jerusalem are the epicenter of the last days.

Why This Matters

  • Israel is not just another nation. It is God’s covenant people.
  • Jerusalem is not just another city. It is the city of God’s name (1 Kings 11:36).
  • Dividing the land is not political compromise — it is direct opposition to God’s eternal covenant.

The world’s convergence will climax in its rebellion against God’s promises to Israel.

God’s Pattern of Deliverance

God has always delivered Israel at the height of her enemies’ pride:

  • He delivered Israel from Pharaoh at the Red Sea (Exodus 14, c. 1445 BC).
  • He preserved Jerusalem when Assyria surrounded it, sending one angel to destroy 185,000 soldiers (2 Kings 19, c. 701 BC).
  • He will again deliver Israel when all nations gather against Jerusalem: “Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations, as He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives.” (Zechariah 14:3–4, NKJV).

God’s covenant promises cannot be broken.

A Call to Watchfulness

Christians must:

  • Understand that Israel remains central in God’s prophetic plan.
  • Reject replacement theology, which denies Israel’s covenant role.
  • Pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6).
  • Recognize that what happens in Israel will ripple across the globe.

To ignore Israel is to ignore the epicenter of prophecy.
