The Psalm 83 Prophecy
“Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones” (Psalm 83:1-3).Here, “thy people” is referring to the biblical nations of Israel. It’s referring primarily to the birthright nations of Israel and the Jewish state in the Middle East. (Request our free book The United States and Britain in Prophecy to learn the identity of the modern nations of Israel.) The main goal of the Psalm 83 alliance is to destroy these nations! (verses 4-5).
This prophecy then lists which peoples comprise the alliance: “The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah” (verses 6-8).
If you study Bible history, you can identify the modern descendants of the Psalm 83 nations. The modern-day descendent of Edom is Turkey. The Ishmaelites are the Saudi Arabians. Moab and Ammon make up modern Jordan. The Hagarenes can be found in Syria. The Philistines anciently inhabited the region of southern Israel that is called Gaza today. Gebal is Lebanon, and Tyre is the area of southern Lebanon. Assur is Germany.
The Middle Eastern nations in this alliance are commonly referred to as the “moderate” Arab nations. But that’s a misnomer—they are anything but moderate in their hatred for America, Britain and the Jewish state.
Today, these Arab nations appear moderate because of they oppose Iran and the Islamic State and because they have close trade relations with the West. But the Bible says these countries are dangerous and filled with hatred for the West. Iran is not the only dangerous anti-Western nation in the Middle East — these Psalm 83 alliance counties will eventually become hostile to Western interests too!
Mr. Flurry wrote in his 2012 article:
These verses foretell a massive shift in alliances among the nations of the Middle East! Events are about to stagger the imagination of many authorities in this world! And God prophesied it all thousands of years ago.
Should we believe in the Old Testament? We should if we want to understand end-time Bible prophecy. The Psalms is the only book in the Bible that contains this prophecy. Without Psalm 83, there would be no way to understand these particular events until well after they had snapped into place.
This is a most exciting and wonderful prophecy—yet the world understands almost nothing about it. People should understand, because this message has been publicized for them to see for about 70 years by the Trumpet and by Herbert W. Armstrong!
Ultimately, this prophecy is exciting because of the good news that
comes after it. It’s a prophecy that will continue to be fulfilled over
the next few weeks and months—right before our eyes!
