A thought provoking article appeared in the editorial section of the Jerusalem Post last week. A group of Rabbis wrote a letter to John Kerry who is attempting to "Divide God's Land" known today as Israel. This land was given by our Lord God to His covenant people through Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Notice in Genesis 15:18 The Lord says to Abraham "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates."
This land encompassed from Egypt to the River Euphrates in modern day Iraq which included a major portion of the modern day Middle East. Additionally, The Lord says to Abraham in Genesis 17:8 "Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possesion; and I will be their God." There is no question as to the size of the original land given by our Lord God to Abraham and his descendants. THE WORD OF GOD IS VERY CLEAR.
Well, why is current day Israel so much smaller in size? History and the Word of God illustrates this God-given land has been divided into parcels many times as different entities have conquered Israel. How does our Lord God respond to all this? The Lord God says in Zechariah 1:14-17; Zechariah 2:8-9; and Joel 3:2; "I am zealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great zeal. . .I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My House shall be built in it. . .The Lord will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem. . .for He who touches you touches the apple of His eye. . .for surely I will shake My hand against them. . .and I will enter into judgement with them there. . .they have also divided up My land."
The letter written by the Rabbis was warning John Kerry and other world leaders of pending judgement and punishment by our Lord God if they mistreat His covenant people or divide their land. Again, all one needs to do is study history and observe empires which mistreated Israel and learn they do not exist any more - the British Empire, the Roman Empire and Nazi Germany to name a few examples.
Please pray, pray and pray again for our Lord God's hand of protection over Israel and guidance for all world leaders.
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care This Day And Each Day,
Frank
