Yesterday, Tuesday, December 12, a Turkish lawmaker, Hasam Bitmez, was railing against Israel because of its war against the Islamic Terrorist group, Hamas. During his rant he said that Israel would “not be able to escape the wrath of God.” Upon making this remark, he immediately, while on air, collapsed, suffering a massive heart attack. He is still listed in serious condition after this incident.
It is apparent that our God of mercy does not immediately strike down everyone who speaks against Him or His people, Israel. However, He has declared, “Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought” (Isaiah 41:11-12).
The entire world would be wise to understand that what happened to this Turkish lawmaker was not a coincidence. The fact that he had a massive heart attack immediately after condemning Israel and slandering the One and only true God is not an accident!
The prophecy of Psalm 2 is being fulfilled with incredible detail. The people and the leaders of the world are against God and His people, Israel. God has warned them, “Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him” (Psalm 2:10-12).
Let us pray for Hasam Bitmez. Perhaps he will survive this ordeal and have a change of heart like Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4.
God is speaking! Is anyone listening?
