Think on this: “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,” declares the Lord. “I will keep a watchful eye over Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. Then the clans of Judah will say in their hearts, ‘The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their God.’ “On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume all the surrounding peoples right and left, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.” (Zechariah 12:2-6)
Pray on this: Father, give Israel’s leadership the courage to destroy her enemies and not merely have a cease-fire. Grant Christians the courage to stand with Israel in her fight against her enemies and to proclaim the victory that is ours together in Jesus our Messiah. AMEN!
It is unfortunate that the land of ISRAEL ever came to be called PALESTINE, for the BIBLE repeatedly calls it the land of ISRAEL.The name came into use by ROME after the BAR KOCHBA REVOLT as as an insult to the JEWS. PALESTINA is the LATIN name of the ancient PHILISTINES the OLD TESTAMENT enemies of ISRAEL.There is no such place as PALESTINE, nor are there such a people as PALESTINIANS. It’s continued use has furthered the confusion people have today.
The cowardly will not enter into the gates of heaven. The leaders of Israel cannot have peace with Arabs and terrorists who want to exterminate them as a nation. At some point, Israel is going to have to take action, to attack her enemies and to make it known that they have had enough of their innocent citizens being slaughtered by murdering Arabs. You cannot make peace with someone who wants you dead. Kill or be killed, that is what it comes down to.
