Unfortunately, Iran is back in the news and, as expected, it is not good news for Israel. Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, exclaimed on November 8th "This barbaric, wolf-like and infanticide regime of Israel which spares no crime has no cure but to be annihilated. The only means to confront a barbaric regime like Israel is arming the Palestinians."
This is the anti-Israel rhetoric coming out of the East but there is also negative news about Israel coming from the West by way of the European Union. The European Union's new Foreign Affairs Chief, Federica Mogherini, visited Israel this weekend. She insisted on the urgent need for a Palestinian State with the Eastern half of Jerusalem as its capital. "This is the position of all of the European Union," she proclaimed. Since when does the European Union determine the borders of Israel?
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu responded once again stating that "Jerusalem is our capital and as such is not a settlement. The neighborhoods in which we are living and we have been building, have been there for close to fifty years. Everybody knows that in any Peace Agreements they will remain part of Israel." A majority of Jews insist Jerusalem must never again be divided.
Our Lord God proclaims in Zechariah 8:2,3,7,8,15 "I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; with great fervor I am zealous for her. . .I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. . .behold I will save My People from the land of the East, and from the land of the West; I will bring them back, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. . .I am determined to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do Not Fear."
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You In His Care This Day,
