Psalm 68: A Messianic Prophecy for a Snowy Israel

14 December 2013: This girl playing in a snow-covered landscape image was taken in Israel this morning, at that Armon HaNatziv promenade to the south of Temple Mount, Jerusalem. Quite a few out there are attaching some prophetic significance to the snow and wintry weather that has blanketed Israel over the past 48 hours, particularly Jerusalem and other elevated environs.  With end times expectations being what they are in these days, I am inclined to agree that there might well be some significance to an unprecedented snowfall at the end of 2013 AD.

While there is prophetic mention of snow being symbolically linked with the salvation of the human soul, such as found in Isaiah 1:18 ("Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool"), there is also Psalm 68 which prophetically declares how God will scatter His enemies in the last days. Verse 14 appears to point to a specific time of year : "When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Zalmon." Mount Zalmon (a/k/a Mount Ebal) is a mountain in Samaria, near Shechem, the hill country of Ephraim, central Israel. Ephraim figures prominently in the prophecy of Isaiah 17.

A procession of future prophetic verses from King David's point in time begins at verse 18. In sum, Psalm 68 is a historic and prophetic overview of Israel as it was, as it is now and as it will be when the beast, the antichrist, sets his feet in Israel (verse 21). The snow in Israel sent me into His Word early this morning; and so how anxious is the rest of the Bride of Christ for the promise of the Harpazo? If snow flakes have this effect on the Bride of Christ one can only imagine!

So, for the record, I do not see all that white stuff on the ground in Israel as just another weather event, I see it as a special snow as Psalm 68:14 says.
