Indian Trade Links - Israel's Trade with India. What does the Bible say?

One interesting feature that caught my eye this past week was the front cover of TIME magazine (at least, the North American edition). It featured India as "the world's biggest democracy" and, says TIME, it "is the next great economic superpower."Well, the Bible is always ahead of the news, and over 150 years ago the author of the book ELPIS ISRAEL, John Thomas, identified an eastern "Tarshish" power as being India. This identification takes us back to the time of King Solomon, and to a passage in 2 Chronicles 9:21. This passage says:"For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks."This eastern Tarshish is interesting to us because Tarshish powers (which are trading nations according to "Ezekiel 38:13) are to be involved with Israel in the latter days. In fact, in his book ELPIS ISRAEL John Thomas wrote of the Jewish return to their land, and wrote:"They will emigrate thither as agriculturists and traders, in the hope of ultimately establishing their commonwealth, but more immediately of getting rich in silver and gold by commerce with India, and in cattle and goods by their industry at home..."Britain--which is a WESTERN Tarshish power will also become involved in this. We have spoken of this British Tarshish and her young lions on previous occasions, and it is not without significance that Britain and India (as well as the United States) all have strong trading links. These trading links will become much stronger in the coming years, and they will involve Israel herself, who is destined to experience a time of great prosperity just before being invaded by the northern Gog. This is the picture of Ezekiel 38 to which we frequently refer.Israel's trade with India is a growing phenomena today. It is estimated that it will be worth over $5 billion by 2008. John Thomas may not have been able to give us that figure when he wrote his book in 1849, but he has certainly demonstrated the accuracy of the prophetic word when he highlights the trading relations that would come into existence between Israel and India in the latter days.Oh--and by the way, there was no such country as "Israel" in 1849. It didn't even exist.When it comes to international affairs, the Bible is certainly ahead of the game!These things demonstrate to us the reliability and the trustworthiness of the Bible. You can TRUST the word of God. When it offers us hope as individuals--it isn't just pie in the sky. The Bible hope is REAL, it is dependable--and it is worth committing your life to it.Look at the great and precious promises that are made in the Bible--how different they are to those made by politicians! The God who controls the events that you read in the news, can also control the events in YOUR life. He can work in us, through the power of His word, so that we can be ready to meet His son, the Lord Jesus Christ, when he returns to this earth in order to rule Israel and the world.Keep watching the Bible in the News with us--we will be here with another edition of it next week, God willing.

Oct 19, 2011 - @quantumofhate There have been Christians in India for many centuries The Chronicle of Seert describes an evangelical mission to India by Bishop David of Basra around the year 300; this metropolitan reportedly made many conversions,[26] and it has been speculated that his mission took in areas of southern India. According to Travancore Manual, Thomas of Cana, a Mesopotamian merchant and missionary, brought a mission to India in 345 AD

Look at the media and its gutter content, that's when Zionists are corrupting and degradading children in cynical materialists. Marx is another example of the political forces of Zionism to create havoc where-ever this Asura/Devilish system is introduced, while it media propagators or purely capitalistic. Jai Hind, Jai Sri Ram!

Feb 2, 2012 - @benzion888 St.Thomas sailed to India in 52AD. We have many museums and stuff about St.Thomas here in Chennai, the southern coastal city in India. He established a church (which still exists). There is a mountain called St.Thomas Mount, that is where many claim that he was killed by soldiers. Wishes from India. I hope India and Israel work towards peace.

However I believe in the coming war India will help Isarel 'young lions of Tarshish' comprise of Canada, Africa, India and Australia "The young lions will rally at the time of the end when Britain goes to the Armageddon of Nations for her 'last of fights'

benzion888 Says:
Feb 3, 2012 - @bennyagp Rosh and Meshekh probably denote the nations of Muscovy and Russia. 'that from Rosh and Meshekh of whom Ezekiel speaks, descended the Russians and Muscovites, nations of the greatest celebrity in European-Scythia.' the Russian nation was called Ros by the Greeks in the earliest period in which we find it mentioned, as Ethnos de oi Ros Schnthichon, peri ton archtoon Towron; that is, the Rosh are a Scythian nation bordering on the northern Taurus

Feb 3, 2012 - @bennyagp 'The sign of the Son of Man in the heaven' of Babylon, indicative of His coming as a thief. England, France, and Turkey belligerent against Russia and Greece. Germany balancing between the parties, but sure eventually to side with Russia
