With Thanksgiving being today I thought it would be good to do a short study on Jehovah's battle ax. What does Jehovah's battle axe have to do with Thanksgiving? Well, let's read Jeremiah 51:
Jeremiah 51:19-24
19 The portion of Jacob is not like these; for he is the former of all things; and [Israel] is the tribe of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name. 20 Thou art my battle-axe and weapons of war: and with thee will I break in pieces the nations; and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; 21 and with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; 22 and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and him that rideth therein; and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces the old man and the youth; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the virgin; 23 and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke [of oxen]; and with thee will I break in pieces governors and deputies. 24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith Jehovah.
It is Israel that is in view here as Jehovah's battle axe. In verse 19, Israel is called Jehovah's inheritance. This shows that in verse 20 the battle axe of Jehovah is Israel not anyone else as some commentaries say. Although Jehovah may use non-Israelites for his purpose, namely Cyrus against Babylon, at times ultimately it is Israel that He uses as His rod of punishment on the nations. Jehovah God used Israel to wipe out the seven nations in the land of Canaan to partially fulfill the covenant He made with Abraham.
If Israel is Jehovah's begotten Son then why wouldn't they be His weapons of war since Jehovah Himself is a man of war:
Exodus 15:3
"Jehovah is a man of war: Jehovah is his name"
Like Father like Son, as David says that Jehovah teaches him to war:
Psalm 144:1
"Blessed be Jehovah my rock, Who teacheth my hands to war, And my fingers to fight"
King David was a mighty warrior as he was taught directly by Jehovah God.
As we celebrate Thanksgiving, let's remember that Jehovah ordained that the Israelite Christians from Europe would come over to the Americas to conquer and destroy the Native American nations. While this is not popular to say, even in the churches of Christendom, the fact is the Adamic-Israelite race is Jehovah's rod of punishment on the other races.
Verse 20 says that Jehovah will use Israel to break the nations in pieces and destroy Kingdoms and that's precisely what the European Israelites did when they came to the Americas. verses 21- 24 look back to the destruction of Pharaoh and his armies in the red sea and also look forward prophetically to end times Babylon. There is also a direct fulfillment of this as Jehovah anointed Pharoah to destroy Babylon that existed at the time of this prophecy.
Jehovah used Moses, an Israelite, to lead His Adamic nation out of the bondage of Egypt. Jehovah will also use His only begotten Son Jehoshua, an Israelite to break the nations (races) with a rod of iron at the last day and this will include old and young as it says in Jeremiah 51:23 along with the governors of the nations. Revelation 19 outlines this in detail. It will be Jehoshua, the King of Israel, executing the wrath of Jehovah God on the non Israelite nations. We as the true Israel of Jehovah God will be right there with him.
Psalm 2:8-9
8 Ask of me, and I will give [thee] the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter`s vessel.
This prophecy applies to all the Davidic Kings but it is ultimately fulfilled in Jehoshua and this is a prophecy of His enthronement (ascension into heaven) and his second advent where he will dash the non Israelite nations (races) to pieces with a rod of iron. The descendants of Israel were promised that they would possess the gates of their enemies:
Genesis 22;17
"that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is upon the seashore. And thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies"
Abraham's seed is Isaac and then that seed passes through Jacob. The seed of Abraham was covenanted by Jehovah God to possess the gates of their enemies, in other words conquer them. This is exactly what took place when Israelite Christians from Europe came to America and possessed the gates of the Native Americans. This was not an evil genocide as the Jewish Bolshevik media portrays but rather a fulfillment of bible prophecy.
This promise to Abraham's seed was reiterated to Rebekah, Isaac's future wife:
Genesis 24:60
"And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, be thou [the mother] of thousands of ten thousands, and let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them"
The seed of Rebekah was Jacob as Esau forfeited the Abrahamic blessings.
Psalm 149:1-9
1.Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints. 2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.5Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.6 [Let] the high praises of God [be] in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;9 To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah
Look at what this passages says about the honor that Israel has been given by Jehovah God, that honor is to execute vengeance upon the nations. Also, the saints of Jehovah are charged with the honor of punishing the other races and binding their kings and nobles with chains and fetters of iron. This command by Jehovah, for Israel to execute judgment upon the other races, is written meaning it is guaranteed to happen i.e. the sure word of prophecy.
This honor in Psalm 149 has largely been fulfilled by the Adamic Israelite nations of Europe who conquered and colonized the world. Here in America, Thanksgiving is the celebration that highlights the European conquest of America and as descendants of Israel we should celebrate and be thankful for the covenant blessings Jehovah bestowed upon our father Abraham.
Exodus 23:23-24
23 For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: and I will cut them off.24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and break in pieces their pillars.
Jehovah sent His angel, the Holy Spirit, before the Israelites to conquer and destroy the Canaanite nations so that they can possess the land promised to their forefather Abraham. This is an example of Jehovah using Israel as His battle axe to punish the pagan nations.
Here is a new testament example of Israel being used as Jehovah's battle axe:
Jude 1:14-15
14 And to these also Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came with ten thousands of his holy ones,15 to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Remember Psalm 149 and who is said to have the honor of executing judgment on the nations, it is the saints of Israel. Holy ones means Saints i.e. set apart and above Jude says Jehovah and His holy ones (Israelites) will execute judgment upon all. This will be at the last day and Jehoshua, Jehovah's Son, will be the one leading the Saints of Israel into battle against the other races and that will be bring in the fulness of the Kingdom of Jehovah witnesses on earth.
