"Why Do The Nations Rage?"

Psalm 2:1-3 says, "Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against The Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 'Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.'"

News headlines recently declared that a ceasefire between Israel and the terror group Hamas had been established. This was after an eleven day conflict in which Hamas fired 4,000 rockets and missiles into Israel. The Iron Dome Defense System in Israel shot down the majority of the rockets and missiles so the number of deaths and physical damage in Israel was minimal.

This is the fourth time in ten years that a similar conflict has taken place. Why? The Palestinians and a major portion of Arab nations believe the land of Israel belongs to the Palestinians. This is totally untrue according to the Word Of God! Immediately after Jehovah God established the Abrahamic Covenant He said to Abraham in Genesis 15:18, "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates." The land God gave to His Covenant People includes all of current day Israel and almost all of the Middle East!

Please notice how Psalm 2 starts by asking, "Why do the nations rage?" The first verses say kings and rulers of nations have joined together to destroy Israel. This includes all the following nations or groups of people: Iran, Turkey, Syria, Hamas, Hezbollah, the European Union, the United Nations, Fatah and segments of the United States Government.

How does Jehovah God react to these last eleven days of conflict? Please notice in Psalm 2 the following statements illustrate how God will react to Israel's enemies:

He Shall Laugh - Verse 4

He Shall Hold Them In Derision - Verse 4

He Shall Speak To Them In His Wrath - Verse 5

He Shall Distress Them In His Displeasure - Verse 5

Jehovah God is still in control on His Heavenly Throne; He knows all about every earthly event and the day is coming when He will defeat all of Israel's enemies! Amen and Amen! 

May The Lord Continue Blessing You Every Day,
