Shame . . . Shame . . . Shame

The end of last week, just prior to Christmas Eve and the start of Hanukkah, the United Nations Security Council performed a shameful act. They had the audacity to believe they had the right to prohibit Israel from building homes for Jews in their own land. I say again and with emphasis - shame . . . shame. . . shame!

The Resolution adopted by the U.N.S.C. claims that Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem are "Occupied Palestinian Territory." Let us look at the truth of our Lord God's Word concerning this land. Genesis 15:18 says, "On the same day The Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying: 'to your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates.'" There is no Palestinian territory and there never has been. The land belongs to our Lord God of Israel, Jerusalem is the City of David and the Temple Mount is the Mountain of The Lord.

Will this equation ever change? No! Jeremiah 31:35-36 says, "Thus says The Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, who disturbs the sea and its waves roar,'if those ordinances depart from before Me,' says The Lord, 'then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before me forever."' Only if the functions of the sun, moon and the stars were eliminated by God who created them would the land of Israel cease to exist. Judea, Samaria and East Jerusalem are part of the land of Israel!

Will there be God's judgment and even curses for those who created and voted for this resolution? Yes! In Genesis 12:3 when God is establishing His covenant with Abram and his descendants He says, "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you." Obadiah 1:15 says, "For the days of The Lord upon all nations is near; as you have done, it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head."

This week and next week many of God's people make commitments concerning areas of their lives which they would like to change as they enter the new calendar year. I personally have committed to pray more earnestly than ever before for our Lord God to protect and maintain the land of Israel for His covenant people. I trust you will do the same!

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Each Day,
Frank
