The prophet Jeremiah had a vision of a boiling pot and the spout was pointed to the south ready to pour its boiling contents into the land of Judah, Chapter 1:13. This prophecy was to happen in Israel’s immediate future, however current events indicate it will happen again.
The Arab spring hailed as the beginnings of democracy has but turned into a prairie fire raging out of control. Directly to the north of Israel is Lebanon the dragon’s lair of Syrian/Iranian aggressions. Given Syria’s current unrest taking place a vicious attack can erupt at any moment having both nations raining death and destruction of the Jewish state. Farther north lies Russia, friend to both Syria and Iran and openly desires to become involved with Syria in resolving problems between nations of the region.
The prophecy of Jeremiah warning of an inescapable invasion from the north did ultimately come to pass but so did the second part, Israel returning to their homeland.
Can we see a boiling pot to the north ready to flow into the Jewish state? Yes, but again there is the second part as well. We know Israel will not only be victorious but will stay in the land God has given them and once again we can trust in God’s word to be the shining light in dark times.
