2012 A.D.: GeoProphecy?: The Shape of Israel!
A beautiful obsidian knife, shaped much like Israel, knapped out by a Missouri craftsman named Andy Leach at Get2thepoint Andy Leach on Facebook or 417-270-4453 or 417-362-9225 by phone. Andy, who has pictures of other pieces he has made online to be viewed, predominantly uses a horse shoe nail for chipping out his work On TikTok he is at Get2thepoint as well.
One of the first things the Lord told Joshua (the successor of Moses, whose name is linguistically equivalent to the name Jesus) to do when the Israelites crossed over into the promised land, moderfn Israel, was to make flint knives and use them to circumcise all of the male Israelites born during the just completed 40 years of wandering. How amazing that the geographical borders of modern Israel make it look like a flint knife in so many ways. From Joshua chapter 5:
5 Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the Lord had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until they[a] had crossed over, their hearts melted in fear and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites.
Circumcision and Passover at Gilgal
2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites again.” 3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath Haaraloth.[b]
4 Now this is why he did so: All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of military age—died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt. 5 All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not. 6 The Israelites had moved about in the wilderness forty years until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the Lord. For the Lord had sworn to them that they would not see the land he had solemnly promised their ancestors to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey. 7 So he raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised. They were still uncircumcised because they had not been circumcised on the way. 8 And after the whole nation had been circumcised, they remained where they were in camp until they were healed.
9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So the place has been called Gilgal[c] to this day.

GeoProphecy is the idea that God shaped certain land masses, islands, lakes, oceans, nations, etc., such that their shape correlates strongly to their historical connections or destiny. GeoProphecy is only speculation, because unless God speaks directly to someone about what the shape of something that He has made is supposed to represent, then we are only letting our imagination or our discernment or our background project and find a correlation. It is like seeing shapes in passing clouds.
Nevertheless, some things on Earth are shaped so strikingly like that place's history or like objects or events connected with that region that it seems almost as if it was meant to be that way. It is like God is telling us "I knew from the beginning how everything would turn out!"
So, if GeoProphecy is real, if it is a technique purposely used by God the Father when He created, then is any country in the world more likely to have a meaningful shape than Israel? After all, it is the land that the Bible says Yahweh intended as a homeland for His chosen people Israel, and Mount Zion is God's chosen dwelling place at those times when He wishes. It is the place where He puts His name scripture says.
Well, I think Israel has a very specific shape! I think it is shaped like an ancient ceremonial knife, and at its tip there is even a sea that is said to be Red in color, as if the point of the knife was dripping blood into the water. And some of Israel's internal shapes hint at finger grips, and its borders hint at a sharp-edged blade, with a couple of pronounced serrations! And, in my opinion, Israel was purposely made to shape, to divide, to sacrifice, to 'pare'.... or at least to 'pre-pare' the world for rule and reign by the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. There is an obsidian knife shown above that looks like Israel without certain contested areas. Great flint knapping. But I believe the contested areas should belong with Israel also if that is God's will. God is sovereign. And how many of us, in our personal journey with God, have been removed from a place that He did not want us to be. We know that He sees immeasurably more clearly and that His plans are far better than ours.
The Israelites are God's 'priests' to the world or will be one day the Bible says (though certain others will also one day be included apparently) and it is the chosen of the Holy Priests who wield the sacrificial blades, per Moses' Law. Back in the day it was only those from the tribe of Levi who could offer the sacrifices. Other tribes receive roughly equal tracts of land in the Promised Land of Israel. But not Levi. They only got a little bit of land by comparison, because the Lord...getting to serve the Lord above and before and more intimately than any other tribe...that was their 'portion' among their brother tribes.
Little Israel! A good nation that is hated by certain others without any particular cause and far beyond any explainable measure. It is used by God's enemies as a target for their hate. But Israel is God's nation, and that is that. It was God's nation, firmly and in writing, almost 3,500 years before I was born.
America - in fact, all Christians I believe - must, in order to honor our God, love what He loves and hate what He hates. And that means we cannot allow our various governments to slyly begin to side with Israel's enemies, lying and saying that it isn't so even as they do it. We must elect a government that understands the relationship that all Christian nations must have with Israel. It is as if your father had left you in charge of your occasionally bull headed and sometimes (you think) short sighted younger brother (I say that because Jesus came as their Messiah, Christian's believe, and they wouldn't or couldn't accept Him). Our Holy Father just happens to favor Israel a little bit more than the rest of us. But you love your little brother anyway and want your Father to know that you do what He tells you to do as well as you can, so, you try to watch over, aid, and protect your little brother. Simple, right?
