ISRAEL STANDS ALONE
by G.M. Bist
"If not us... Who?
If not now... When?" ...quoting a Jewish Sage.
A SOVEREIGN GOD needs...
GOD IS SOVEREIGN YET SOMETIMES NEEDS individuals to perform His Will. In
times past God, determined to deliver Israel from her enemies, still
required a Moses, a Joshua, an Esther, a Gideon...
GOD PROMISED THROUGH JEREMIAH THAT ISRAEL shall survive as a people, but
yet still needs human assistance. During the Holocaust some individuals
were used of God to prevent the planned extermination of Israel by her
enemies.
ISRAEL NOW HAS A TERRITORY... A STATE.
The people have regathered in their own land. The formerly divided
nation is now ONE, just as Hosea prophesied 700 years before the birth of
Jesus Christ. AGAIN GOD HAS REBUKED HER ENEMIES WHO said..."Come let us
cut them off from being a nation so that the name of Israel may be no
more in remembrance." THE WARS FOLLOWING 1948 have not altered God's
faithfulness in defending His Chosen People. THE RECENT GENEVA
ACTIVITIES OF THE U.N. IN WHICH THEY BROUGHT TO A VOTE THE CONDEMNATION
OF ISRAEL, 138 to 2, shows how the world has lined up against this little
nation of only 9800 square miles. Only USA and Israel voted against the
resolution.
THE USA's SUPPORT EVAPORATED THE NEXT day when they disclosed they were
about to sit down with the PLO.. this same PLO whose Covenant (Article
15) "...aims at the elimination of Zionism (Israel)..." When the USA met
with the PLO they almost immediately agreed that Jerusalem was the crux
of the problem. THUS OVERNIGHT THE WORD OF THE LORD spoken through the
prophet Zechariah, 500 years before Christ, came into focus; "IN THE LAST
DAYS... I WILL GATHER ALL NATIONS TO BATTLE AGAINST....JERUSALEM... I
will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all nations..when they will be
around about her in the seige... I WILL ...DESTROY ALL NATIONS THAT COME
AGAINST JERUSALEM.." Zech. Chpts. 12-14
As it is written, "And the Redeemer shall come to Zion..."Isa.59:20
"BLOW YE THE TRUMPET IN ZION..sound an alarm in my holy mountain,
tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;"Joel 2:1
"Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The
LORD shall preserve thee...Psa. 121:4&7 "I will also gather all
nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and
will plead with them..for Israel, whom they have scattered among the
nations, and parted my land" Joel 3:2 "WHEN THE LORD SHALL BUILD UP
ZION, HE SHALL APPEAR IN HIS GLORY" Psa. 102:16
This is the Story:
HERE ARE THE FACTS!
ISRAEL NOW STANDS ALONE IN A WORLD HOSTILE TO HER SURVIVAL:
A WORLD THAT WILL NOT FACE THESE FACTS:
1) In 1922 the League of Nations gave Britain a "Mandate over Palestine"
to carry out the intent of the 1917 Balfour Declaration, specifically for
"a national homeland for the Jewish people". It was a Trusteeship YET
BRITAIN GAVE 70% of it (all the East Bank) to King Abdullah for the
Palestinian Arabs called, Transjordan, now Jordan.
2) The Jewish presence was again established in 1947 when the U.N.
"Resolution for the Partition of Palestine" authorized in West Palestine,
in the remaining 30%, a Jewish & an Arab State. (Jerusalem was to be
internationalized). Not wishing to tolerate a Jewish state in their
midst the Arabs rejected the plan...Israel reluctantly accepted the plan
and declared a Jewish state on 14 May 1948.
3) SEVEN ARAB NATIONS THEN ATTACKED ISRAEL THE FOLLOWING DAY. The USA
disallowed arms shipments forcing Israel to turn to USSR for supplies.
In 1949, against tremendous odds, Israel pushed back her enemies and the
world demanded a cease-fire along the Green Line.
4) IN 1948 JORDAN ILLEGALLY TOOK JUDEA, SAMARIA & JERUSALEM... AND EGYPT
TOOK THE GAZA STRIP. From '48 to '67 Jordan & Egypt annexed these areas
WITHOUT A WORD OF PROTEST FROM THE WORLD GOVERNMENTS NOR WAS THERE A CRY
"THEN" for another Palestinian state.
5) IN 1967 FIVE ARAB NATIONS ATTACKED ISRAEL AGAIN...but in the miracle
of the "Six-Day" war Israel, IN DEFENDING HERSELF, captured Judea,
Samaria, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. Thereby Jews could now pray at
the Western Wall...Jordan had not allowed this. South of Suez canal the
Israel Army surrounded Egypt's Army and defeat was imminent. The USSR,
who supplied Nasser, told USA that she would not tolerate an Egyptian
humiliation...thereby the USA forced Israel to withdraw from Egypt.
ONLY AFTER THE ISRAEL VICTORY DID THE CRIES GO UP "FOR A PALESTINIAN
STATE"...since then the world has been bombarded with false propaganda
and allegations that Israel is illegally in the land. Even Canada and
the USA officially require of Israel that she withdraw to pre '67'
borders, i.e., the Green Line. PLEASE NOTE WELL THAT NO SOVEREIGN STATE
HAS EVER EXISTED IN PALESTINE SINCE 70 A.D. Should Israel withdraw to
pre '67' lines she would be so small she'd be unable to manoeuver or stop
her enemies; in one area she'd be only nine miles wide.
ATTENTION: THIS IS THE "REAL" PLO TWO-PRONGED ATTACK ON ISRAEL
Phase one: Through the U.N., negotiate Israel into the untenable position
of surrendering the West Bank, Jerusalem & Gaza Strip.
Phase two: Then after a respite, very brief, to attack militarily, with
all it's allies, from the North, East, South.
ALL THE ABOVE IS EXACTLY AS THE PROPHECIES FORETOLD IN THE HOLY
SCRIPTURES. Nevertheless man's human efforts will come to naught. Jesus
said, "I have come that you may have life and that you may have it more
abundantly." Which means God has a plan for your life and for the lives
of nations as well, especially Israel. GOD IS HOLY, LOVING AND JUST.
GOD HAS A RESERVED SIGN ON ISRAEL. God has said to the nations, "Touch
not mine annointed...Touch not the apple of mine eye." THIS JERUSALEM IS
THE ANCIENT CAPITAL CITY OF MELCHIZEDEK, KING OF SALEM, CITY OF KING
DAVID. This is where Zechariah the prophet says of Jesus the Messiah,
the Christ, "Then shall the LORD go forth and fight against the
nations...in the day of battle..and his feet shall stand in that day
upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east..."
Jesus Himself said, "Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God,
believe also in me..." Jn. 14:1 "I am the root and offspring of David,
and the bright and morning star. Surely I come quickly." Rev. 22:16,20
REMEMBER GOD NEVER CANCELLED HIS PROMISE TO ABRAM (ISRAEL) Genesis 12:3
when He said: "I will bless them that bless thee and curse him that
curseth thee: and in thee shall the families of the earth be blessed."
GOD PROMISED TO REGATHER ISRAEL FROM THE FAR CORNERS OF THE EARTH
Ezek. Ch 36,37: in May 1948 He fulfilled His Promise. GOD IS FAITHFUL,
JUST AND ABLE. God never breaks His Promise. HE WILL PROTECT ISRAEL..
but He needs individuals to make His Will known...
PLEASE BE URGED NOT TO REMAIN SILENT about the injustice to Israel and
her scriptural claims, and her legal human claims, to nationhood. And
may individual Christians be reminded that TOGETHER, WE WHO KNOW OUR
SCRIPTURES, AND OUR GOD, CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE by supporting Israel in
prayer, words, actions, and our deeds, saying from the depths of our
hearts; "ISRAEL YOU ARE NOT ALONE !!!"
"The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David is with you, and so are we!"
"Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye tenderly to
Jerusalem... her warfare is accomplished...The grass withereth...the
flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever."
Isaiah 40:1,2,8...
THE WAY TO HEAVEN...!
IS THROUGH (YESHUA) "JESUS" TO THE FATHER
1) Jesus the CHRIST, the MESSIAH, came through the seed of Abraham,
Issac, Jacob, and David to Jesus...as the Holy Scriptures truly foretold.
2) Jesus is the REDEEMER and the SAVIOUR spoken of by Isaiah and other
prophets.
3) GOD IS HOLY and man is a sinner. "But we are all as an unclean thing,
and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a
leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." Isa.64:6
"All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Rom 3:23
4) GOD SENT HIS SON "For God so loved the world that he gave his only
begotten son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have
everlasting life." Jn 3:16 "God commendeth his love toward us, in that
while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. " Rom 5:8
5) CHRIST IS THE LAMB SLAIN FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD. We are "redeemed
by the blood... which taketh away the sins of the world". Leviticus 17:11
1 Pet. 1:18,19 Rev. 5:9
6) Jesus is knocking at the door of Your heart. He is the Good Shepherd,
the Redeemer, the Saviour. WHY NOT INVITE HIM INTO YOUR HEART TODAY?
PRAYER
Dear LORD Jesus, I admit I am a sinner and ask You to come into my
heart and forgive me. I now receive You as Saviour and trust in You
alone to save me, making You LORD in my life. Thank You LORD Jesus.
ASSURANCE
"But to as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the
sons of God, even to them that believe on his name; which were born...not
of blood, nor the will of the flesh..but of God". John 1:12,13
