Israel UPDATE

 

Malachi 3:6

King James Version

6 For I am the Lord, 

I change not; 

therefore ye sons of Jacob 

are not consumed.


What were haters of Israel thinking?

Why are they attacking the apple of God's eye?

How can anyone challenge God's chosen nation?

I was intrigued at God's faithfulness, to an often unfaithful, and embattled nation.

Why did God love Israel so?

In the process, I searched Scripture for answers.

The Holy Spirit led me to write an article on God's UNBENDING LOVE for Israel on 2 May 2021 -- about a week before God's nation was attacked by 4,000 rockets up to the recording of that video above.

For all things Israel, I only focus on the Lord, His Word, on the reporting of Amir Tsarfati, an Israeli Bible teacher since 1999, and former mayor of Jericho, and on the Scripture findings of James Jacob Prasch of Moriel Ministries.

Major Tsarfati spoke of the surprising support from countries all over the world, as they raised the Israeli flag on their important government offices.

He also cautioned everyone about dubious news regarding Israel.

"It's all perception.

It's not substance."

   -- Amir Tsarfati


Only by being born again, and student of Spirit, can we spiritually discern things of God, and things of the world.

EVERYTHING must be based on Scripture.

All God loves, I love.

I'm only after the will of God.

Only He created, sees, and knows the whole picture, for specific purposes of His own.

What's happening to Israel is like David and Goliath all over again.

Tiny, and outnumbered, Israel is continually bombarded by threats, but this beloved nation of God continues to fulfill God's destiny for her.

Who are we to question the might, and power, of the Lord?

Who are we to question His plans?

All have been prophesied, and everything's just a matter of time.

In the twinkling of an eye, the Lord Jesus can return, and where are we right now?

I've taken my place behind the Lord over 20 months ag0, believing in Jesus, studying His Word, sounding out warnings from His Spirit, honoring Israel whom He loves.

The Lord was firm about Israel:

Genesis 12:3

King James Version

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, 

and curse him that curseth thee

and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.


And the Lord doesn't change.

Numbers 23:19

King James Version

19 God is not a man, 

that he should lie; 

neither the son of man, 

that he should repent: 

hath he said, 

and shall he not do it? 

or hath he spoken, 

and shall he not make it good?


Most importantly, let us be aware that only by the GRACE of GOD do we all continue to exist.

Let us never fall from that GRACE.

God's Unbending LOVE for ISRAEL

 

Deuteronomy 7:7

King James Version

7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, 

nor choose you, 

because ye were more in number than any people; 

for ye were the fewest of all people:


Unless you are guided, and taught, by the Holy Spirit of God, you won't understand the mystery, of why God loves Israel so much, even as His chosen people continue to defy Him.

But if you are a believer of Jesus, born again, living by the WORD of GOD, you will see the beauty of God's plan.

Do we really doubt the wisdom of God?

Even as most Jews don't believe in Jesus?

Even as this recent Jewish celebration, which turned tragic, sought God, but didn't honor Jesus?

Even as Jerusalem was recently attacked by militants.

Perhaps, GOD allows all to happen -- sin, doubt, and disobedience -- for His particular purpose.

God's purpose for Israel can be understood from these verses:

Isaiah 43:21

King James Version

21 This people have I formed for myself; 

they shall shew forth my praise.


Jeremiah 31:1

King James Version

31 At the same time, 

saith the Lord, 

will I be the God of all the families of Israel, 

and they shall be my people.


God so loved Israel, He sent them His Son, Jesus.

Romans 11:26-27

King James Version

26 And so all Israel shall be saved

as it is written

There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, 

and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, 

when I shall take away their sins.


Yes, temporary sleep is upon Israel.

Romans 11:8

King James Version

8 (According as it is written

God hath given them the spirit of slumber, 

eyes that they should not see, 

and ears that they should not hear;) 

unto this day.


But God has a plan.

Romans 11:11

King James Version

11 I say then, 

Have they stumbled that they should fall? 

God forbid

but rather through their fall 

salvation is come unto the Gentiles, 

for to provoke them to jealousy.


Israel will wake up when this occurs:

Romans 11:25

King James Version

25 For I would not, brethren

that ye should be ignorant of this mystery

lest ye should be wise in your own conceits

that blindness in part is happened to Israel, 

until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.


Even as, in the heart of Jesus, we are all one in Him.

Galatians 3:28

King James Version

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, 

there is neither bond nor free, 

there is neither male nor female: 

for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.


Let us not be so quick to criticize Israel.

It is still God's chosen nation, the apple of His eye.

Zechariah 2:8

King James Version

8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts; 

After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations 

which spoiled you: 

for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.


Let the fullness of God's plan come through.

Only God knows best.

And knows all.
