The Burden of Arabia.
We are watching extraordinary things happen as Armageddon continues to unfold itself. In this one we talk about Arabia. We know of the Saudi Arabian peninsula and that is predominantly what we are dealing with, the end of days is Saudi Arabia as a nation. There are other nations too that the prophecies deal with.
Now these are not anything personal to any nations or anything. It is just this is the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ at hand.
Why is it that He brings about wars? Well, wars are something that stirs peoples’ interest. They shake them to the core. If people are involved in wars, they are subject to all kinds of trauma and running into shelters, hearing explosions, and it is unfortunate, but at the same time, it brings people into a status of desperation in which they will cry out to God, that there is a Higher Power that is judging.
That is what we are in, we are in the Day of Judgment, and that is the reason for these wars and His judgment on mankind, His warnings before the event happens.
We know that Noah preached before the Flood and the people did not listen to him. They mocked and then the flood happened. It just happened and there was nothing they could do. In this one in the end of days He said there would not be a flood and that these judgments would happen. They would stir mankind to hopefully Repent, but they probably will not. They will stick to worshiping their idols for the most part at which point then like in the plagues of Egypt everything must be destroyed and then Christ will come in the Nillennium and rule and reign and show us all how this really is supposed to work.
As we see this taking place, we also should consider ourselves. Are we ready for the Day of Judgment? Everyone will give account of his works and stand before the White Throne. That is what we are facing. We are facing the fact that we are about to see Him come in the clouds, which is His White Throne Judgment, which He will judge and determine exactly what happens thereafter.
- So, until that moment when He appears and the Resurrection takes place, these judgments will continue. They will build until Jerusalem is surrounded with armies, at which point Christ comes.
Now I know I say that over and over, but it is very important that you understand that is what this is all leading to. That is going to happen. That is physical. It is not Spiritual armies. These are Physical armies in and around Jerusalem in the same manner that has happened in the past with the Babylonians, with the Romans. It is going to be boots on the ground in Jerusalem. Who and what we will see.
With these prophecies we are watching to see what elements will take place. What we are seeing is that with the war that the United States launched on Iran it has expanded, and Iran has attacked many of the Gulf nations. Not only the US bases but other facilities there. I am not a reporter to tell you all this information. It is exciting times. Many of you are aware of it yourselves. The role that we have is to show you this is in prophecy.
You can see our notes. If any of you are interested in the notes I can share them. You can send me an email at info@leelandjones.com. It is a very simple study. We are continuing with what we talked about last time and how Jeremiah chapters 46- 51 matches the prophecies in Isaiah 13- 27 and in that we have parallel prophecies dealing with certain nations and this one, as you see in the title of the video, is The Burden of Arabia.
Since ancient times, Arabia has been all the way up here in in the region of Jordan, the Nabataeans from ancient times, and then this whole peninsula of desert.
This green here is Saudi Arabia. They have a sword on their flag and then I forget what it says. They go all the way up and border Jordan, the whole side of the Red Sea. This is Yemen (below Saudi). This is UAE right here (to right of Saudi). That is ancient Dedan. This is Oman here (below UAE).
Sometimes in ancient times you can see, Isaiah 21:13 “The burden of Arabia; in the forest of Arabia shall you lodge.” Now that might sound a little strange if we consider Saudi Arabia is desert as we know but it is actually quite lush and forested in areas along the Red Sea and going across. That is presumably what it is talking about because they do get rainfall and it does have trees, not just palm trees.
This prophecy here is called The Burden of Arabia. It is in Isaiah 21. It is in the context of Israel’s war in Iran, which we have talked about in previous videos. So, within the context there we have other nations at war. Here is Iran (to right of map) and when United States attacked Iran is launching missiles at Israel over here (blue and white state in center of map), but they also are attacking the United States bases that exist in these regions across the way.
The US has set up bases for this war many years and Iran has essentially destroyed them, but they have also destroyed other aspects that are happening in those nations and that is what this prophecy deals with.
Isaiah 21:13 “The burden upon Arabia…” That is the bulk of the Saudi Arabian peninsula. “In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye traveling companies of Dedan.” Dedan, like we said, is over here (UAE). We showed you that in the map of the previous video. And it says, Isaiah 21:14 “The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, and they prevented with their bread him that fled.”
What happens is through thousands of years it was only just Bedouin tribes living here because there is no water. There is no way to produce food. But once these nations became oil rich they started doing water desalination, converting the seawater, salt water, into fresh drinking water.
- With the wealth of the nations, with Kuwait, Qatar, they exist along this area but there is no natural drinking water, nor is there food.
So, this is actually telling us that the water situation for these nations is being threatened. They are going to be thirsty. What has happened is Iran has blocked the Straits of Hormuz, and they cannot receive food once that is blocked and closed. A large percentage, 70, 80, 90%, of the food from these nations is being imported so that food is going to have to be imported and brought in other ways for them to receive food.
Most of it is coming through ships from wherever. Obviously there are not huge grain baskets in the Middle East for the nation to produce for themselves and to export. So, there is great strain on these nations and that is what this is talking about, water scarcity and food scarcity.
The wealthy nations now they are dealing with the Sword.
Isaiah 21:15 “For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.”
Saudi Arabia has US bases and then the others Kuwait, Qatar, UAE, they were in the assumption that the United States would protect them in any conflict with Iran.
Now why is there a conflict between Iran? You can see they have a Dragon here on their flag and Saudi Arabia has a Sword. We have two different types of Islam, Shiite and Sunni.
The other thing is in modern times we are used to these rich Gulf nations but in ancient times this did not really happen. There was there was great wealth in Sheba down here (Yemen) but in all these times, in the whole time since Muhammad, most of the Muslims have been desert travelers and whatnot and they did not really look favorably on wealth and so they considered the West to be evil and corrupt and infidels and what corrupted them? Money. Even in Saudi Arabia, there are Bedouin tribes and there are Muslims.
I have lived in Egypt and Jordan, and they do not necessarily look favorably upon these Gulf nations. They are like they are not really real Muslims like us. They are corrupted by America. They have American bases. So, there is a great conflict between the monarchies and the kings of these different nations and the theocracy or the more religious driven Muslim religion being exercised in Iran.
The average Muslim when they look at what is going on they are going to look actually more favorably to the Islam that is being expressed in Iran versus the Islam that is in the rich Gulf nations.
They actually will have support on a broader scale and there has been, since this wealth existed in the last 100 years, since World War II, this separation between Iran and the monarchies which has been growing and growing, They have anticipated this war and now it is here. And so that is what I would suggest to you is what this is. The Burden of Arabia is dealing with this conflict and this Sword and this war that is going to come up in the end of days.
We are in Isaiah 21, and it is giving us the idea the inhabitants of the land brought water to him that was thirsting, they prevented with bread him that fled. They fled from swords and the drawn sword. We have mass Evacuations taking place of all the foreigners because the majority of population is foreigners and so they are trying to get out as soon as the airport can open.
Now we are predominantly dealing with Arabia.
Isaiah 21:16 “For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail: 17 And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.”
Kedar is also another way of saying Arabia. We are calling it Arabia, but it is going to have a couple names. One of them is Kedar and also Hazor.
Now, the Antichrist, Trump, went to Saudi Arabia in 2017. When he went he held a Sword. He held this Sword and met and danced with the sword and everything and, isn’t this great? Well, no. It is the Antichrist. Trump is the Son of perdition.
- He is waving this Sword, but literally they realize that the Sword that they gave to Trump to wave around is going to be turned on them. That is what we are seeing.
Now, we also have Jeremiah 49. This is our parallel to Isaiah 21 and here it is called Kedar. Jeremiah 49:28 “Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall…..” what? “Smite.” What happened is these nations were under the assumption that Trump and the United States would protect them in any conflict with Iran.
Now we have Nebuchadnezzar as Trump the Antichrist, the king of Babylon, and what he is doing, we will see in another passage, it is a Council. He is not physically attacking them, but he is removing the protection that they are expecting and so now they are facing the Sword of Iran.
Before we were reading in Isaiah 21 about Arabia and is said, “all the glory of Kedar will come to an end.” Kedar is another way of saying Arabia or this general area because Jeremiah 49 deals with Kedar. Jeremiah 49:28 “Arise, go up to Kedar and spoil the men of the east. 29 Their tents and their flocks they shall take away.”
Now some of the terminology here of tents deals with the ancient times and that is how the Arabians lived as we might imagine in our minds. This goes back to Babylon. The prophecy in Babylon, Isaiah 13:20, “neither shall the Arabian pitch his tent there.” Where? Babylon.
This is the way some people live. I have seen them out in the desert in the middle of nowhere. There are still Bedouin out there, but it is not really dealing with that, their tents and flocks, what it is talking about is they are going to have to Evacuate from the judgments of the Most High on their main cities.
Jeremiah 49:29 “…they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.”
We know where this is. We are not confused when it is talking about Arabia and tents and camels.
It continues, Evacuations.
Jeremiah 49:30 “Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor,” Again, Hazor is another name for the nations and kingdoms in this prophecy. Thus “ssaith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.”
Nebuchadnezzar, the Antichrist, Trump and Israel launched this attack on Iran without considering what would happen to anyone else.
When Iran closed the Straits of Hormuz, they closed the Straits of Hormuz in the 12-Day War, it should not be a surprise, but this is Armageddon. Nothing makes sense. But the players are here. We have Saudi Arabia. We have Trump, the Antichrist, back in his second term now fulfilling many of these prophecies.
Jeremiah 49:31 “Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation.”
Now another way of looking at this in Hebrew is Arise wealthy nations. As we said for hundreds of years these were not wealthy nations, but they are. How? Oil. “that dwell without care.”
What is happening is because of oil and natural gas and everything in these Gulf regions and the amount of oil that is being produced and being supplied to the nations, they have become very rich, and these are the wealthy nations.
We have Hazor, we have Kedar, we have the Evacuations taking place and it is continuing here,
Jeremiah 49:31 “..which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.” That is the other thing. These nations, they just exist out in sand. There are no mountains. It is just sand. There are no gates. There is no protection. They are just getting crushed.
Jeremiah 49:32 “And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Yahweh. 33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.”
Dragons. Hazor will be a dwelling of dragons and a desolation. This is also prophetically speaking of Armageddon when it is the dragon that draws the nations.
As we mentioned before Dedan is UAE and we saw that in Isaiah 21, Oh, you traveling companies of Dedan. Dedan is in the Gog Magog prophecy. Of the nations that are listed, Gog, Magog, Rosh, Meshech, Tubel, Persians, Ethiopians, Libyans, Gomer, Togarmah, Sheba, and Dedan {Ezekiel 38:2, 5, 6}. Here we have Dedan once again in this end times war.
Pretty simple but it is pretty extraordinary because Iran did attack a US base in Qatar in the war with Israel in the 12-Day War, so it is not totally a surprise. I think what has happened is the amount of retaliation that has taken place is greater than what people anticipated, but if we actually look at the prophecy and we really focus in on these prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah, we can see it said exactly this.
Thanks for watching. We do hope to maybe have other videos like this on a little bit of a series. We have several of them. We have several nations that are kind of sitting dormant awaiting more things to happen. But the angel said, there will be time no longer.
If you are interested in the notes, we will put a link for the notes in the description field of the video (see below). Thanks for watching and we hope to have more soon.
