“The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed.” Psalm 2:2

It has been a most difficult few days for tiny Israel on the stage of world politics and diplomacy, with the tide of opinion, especially in Europe, turning squarely in favor of the Palestinians at the small country’s expense. In Geneva, world powers gathered to condemn Israel’s actions in Judea and Samaria; in Luxembourg, the EU Court of Justice removed Hamas from its terror blacklist; and back in the United States, a draft resolution was introduced at the United Nations demanding an Israeli withdrawal from lands wanted for a Palestinian State by 2017.

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is quoted as saying -

“It seems that too many in Europe, on whose soil six million Jews were slaughtered, have learned nothing.”

The Bible warns that the destiny of the nations cannot be separated from Israel and Jerusalem. The Bible teaches that God would one day re-gather the children of Israel back into their land from among many nations around the world, which He has done. The Bible says they would be re-gathered in unbelief ... God has not re-gathering the children of Israel into their Land because they deserve it, but because His Name and His Word are at stake...  and because He loves them. They are His chosen people. The Bible warns us that  God will make Jerusalem a world trouble spot, which indeed it is.

The Bible says all nations of the world will turn against Israel but we His remnant must remain vigilant in our resolve to support Israel, not because they deserve it, but because they are His chosen people and the apple of His eye. Faithfully writing as the Holy Spirit directed, these Jewish prophets and apostles preserved His Word and from this tiny nation, we have Salvation through Yeshua our Messiah, our Jewish Messiah.
