Introduction
As tensions escalate in the Middle East, many are wondering whether these events could be the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. One such prophecy is found in 2 Esdras 15, which describes global conflicts, the judgment of nations, and the ultimate restoration of Yah’s chosen people. This article explores the possibility that what we are witnessing today is the unfolding of these prophetic visions. Given the current geopolitical landscape, particularly the involvement of nations like Iran, Israel, Russia, and China, there is a high probability that we are witnessing the fulfillment of 2 Esdras 15. If so, these events are leading to a dramatic shift in the global balance of power and the long-awaited regathering of the true Israelites.
Global Deception and the Oppression of the True Israelites: A Prophetic Examination of 2 Esdras 15
The prophecies in 2 Esdras 15 reveal Yah’s judgment on the nations and the eventual restoration of His true people. These ancient prophecies, when aligned with current global events, illustrate the ongoing deception and oppression of the true Israelite, African Negro/ Bantu and African Americans. These events are unfolding in a manner that reveals the imminent fall of the nations that have falsely claimed their heritage and oppressed them.
1. Global Deception and Oppression of the True Israelites
2 Esdras 15:6-8 declares:
“For wickedness hath exceedingly polluted the whole earth, and their hurtful works are fulfilled. Therefore saith the Lord, I will hold my tongue no more as touching their wickedness, which they profanely commit: neither will I suffer them in those things, in which they wickedly exercise themselves: behold, the innocent and righteous blood crieth unto me, and the souls of the just complain continually.”
In this passage, Yah reveals His intention to bring judgment upon the earth for its overwhelming wickedness and injustice. Today, this prophecy applies to the global system of deception that suppresses the true Israelites, while falsely elevating fake people who control a fake land, modern-day Israel. These fake people have taken control of this land and falsely claim to be the descendants of Jacob, while the true Israelites, especially the African diaspora, remain scattered and oppressed throughout the world.
The global system of oppression, built on lies and deception, has allowed the fake people to prosper. Meanwhile, the true Israelites suffer under centuries of enslavement and marginalization. Their cries for justice have reached Yah, and His judgment is drawing near.
2. The Rise of Hostilities Between Nations
2 Esdras 15:14-15 warns:
“Woe to the world and them that dwell therein! For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, and swords in their hands.”
This prophecy speaks of rising conflicts between nations. In modern times, we see these hostilities building in regions like the Middle East. Iran (Carmonians), standing against Israel (the dragons of Arabia), initiates missile strikes that escalate tensions in the region. These conflicts are deeply rooted in the systems of oppression that Yah is now judging. Iraq (Assyrians), through its alliances with Iran, becomes entangled in the broader conflict, intensifying the regional strife. These hostilities are a reflection of Yah’s coming judgment, as foretold in the prophecy.
3. Proxy Warfare and Regional Conflict Involving Russia and China
2 Esdras 15:20-22 states:
“Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings of the earth to reverence me, which are from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus; to turn themselves one against another, and repay the things that they have done to them. Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense in their bosom. Thus saith the Lord God. My right hand shall not spare the sinners, and my sword shall not cease over them that shed innocent blood upon the earth.”
In the modern context, this passage refers to the broader involvement of global powers like Russia and China in Middle Eastern conflicts. As Iran continues its attacks against Israel, Russia and China step in to support Iran through military and logistical means. Russia’s involvement aims to protect its influence in the region, while China’s participation is driven by its economic interests. These nations now find themselves drawn into a larger conflict that represents Yah’s judgment. The missiles and bombs being used are modern equivalents of the arrows of destruction foretold in the prophecy.
4. Judgment on the Dragons of Arabia (Fake people in Israel)
2 Esdras 15:34-36 proclaims:
“Behold, clouds from the east, and from the north unto the south, and they are very horrible to look upon, full of wrath and storm. They shall smite one upon another, and they shall smite down a great multitude of stars upon the earth, even their own star; and blood shall be from the sword unto the belly, and dung of men unto the camel's hough. And there shall be great fearfulness and trembling upon earth: and they that see the wrath shall be afraid, and trembling shall come upon them.”
This passage foretells the collapse of Israel (the dragons of Arabia). Missiles and bombs from Iran, Russia, and China bring about the downfall of Israel’s military dominance. The falling stars represent the collapse of Israel’s power and security, as its military strongholds are destroyed. The terror experienced by the people of Israel during this destruction fulfills the prophecy, where fear and trembling will take hold as Yah’s judgment unfolds.
5. The Wrath of God Upon China for Emulating Babylon
2 Esdras 15:46-47 declares:
“And thou, Asia, that art partaker of the hope of Babylon, and art the glory of her person: Woe be unto thee, thou wretch, because thou hast made thyself like unto her, and hast decked thy daughters in whoredom, that they might please and glory in thy lovers, which have always desired to commit whoredom with thee.”
This passage addresses China (Asia), condemning it for adopting the ways of Babylon (the United States). China’s pursuit of global dominance through materialism, political power, and military influence mirrors the corrupt systems of Babylon. The reference to "whoredom" represents China’s willingness to exploit weaker nations and engage in immoral practices to achieve global prestige. Yah’s judgment upon China is inevitable, as it too has become complicit in the global oppression of the true Israelites, and for following the ways of Babylon.
6. The Final Stages of the Battle: The Fall of the Dragons
2 Esdras 15:57-58 foretells:
“Thy children shall die of hunger, and thou shalt fall through the sword: thy cities shall be broken down, and all thine shall perish with the sword in the field. They that be in the mountains shall die of hunger, and eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood, for very hunger of bread, and thirst of water.”
In the final stages of the conflict, Israel (the dragons) will face complete destruction. The missiles and bombs from Iran, Russia, and China will destroy Israel’s military strongholds, represented by mountains. The aftermath will result in famine and the collapse of Israel as a nation. The prophecy foretells that the suffering will be so great that people will turn to cannibalism for survival. This marks the final downfall of Israel, and by extension, the fall of Babylon (the West) as their influence crumbles alongside Israel’s defeat.
7. The Restoration of the True Israelites
2 Esdras 15:10-12 states:
“Behold, my people is led as a flock to the slaughter: I will not suffer them now to dwell in the land of Egypt: But I will bring them with a mighty hand and a stretched out arm, and smite Egypt with plagues, as before, and will destroy all the land thereof. Egypt shall mourn, and the foundation of it shall be smitten with the plague and punishment that God shall bring upon it.”
After the fall of Israel and the collapse of the Western powers, Yah will finally regather His people, the true Israelites. This prophecy promises that Yah will deliver His chosen people from the Egypt-like systems of oppression that have held them captive for centuries. The African Negro/Bantu and African Americans, who have long suffered, will be restored to their rightful place. The nations that have oppressed them will be judged and destroyed, and the restoration of Yah’s people will be witnessed by the entire world.
Conclusion
The prophecies in 2 Esdras 15 reveal Yah’s impending judgment on the nations that have oppressed His chosen people. Modern events, particularly the conflicts in the Middle East and the involvement of global powers like Russia and China, reflect the fulfillment of these ancient prophecies. The collapse of Israel (the dragons of Arabia) and the eventual downfall of the West (Babylon) will pave the way for the restoration of the true Israelites. Yah’s chosen people, long oppressed and marginalized, will be regathered and restored, while the oppressive nations will face their ultimate judgment.
