It Is All About The Land Again - Part 2

Our message last week informed us that the newly installed United States Secretary of State Kerry has announced he is working towards restarting peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Every previous attempt to establish supposed peace through dividing the land of Israel has failed. Why is this? Every attempt ignored the Word of God! Joel 3:2 says The Lord will judge those who have divided HIS LAND. Also in Amos 9:15 our God says He will no longer uproot His people from the land He has given them.

Once again world leaders are attempting to divide God's land given to His original covenant people, the Jews. Kerry had originally planned to reveal his proposal for peace in the Middle East May 23rd but now has pushed this date back to June 7th. In addition, Kerry has been meeting with Israeli and Palestinian leaders and has met with the Quartet which includes representatives from the United States, United Nations, European Union and Russia. 

This all sounds good in the world media. However, how does our God react to even the suggestion of dividing up HIS LAND or the actual act itself. A number of years ago, Israeli Prime Minister Sharon caused thousands of Israelis to evacuate the Gaza Strip leaving behind their homes, their businesses and their farms all in a failed attempt to establish peace in the Middle East. Shortly thereafter, Sharon became gravely ill and has never recovered. History also reveals severe weather events while talks of dividing HIS LAND are in process. Are these just coincidences or realities?

Our God is a loving and caring God but also a God who keeps the promises in His word! We need to pray continually for leaders in the United States and Israel resulting in them seeking God's wisdom at all times and in all situations.

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care This Day An Each Day,
Frank
