Anti-Semitism at End
Times Level
By Bill Keller
Sadly,
anti-Semitism is
alive and well
in 2010. The
recent incident
with the Turkish
ship bringing
"humanitarian
supplies" to the
Palestinians has
sparked a
world-wide
outcry of
anti-Israeli
sentiments.
President Obama
and this current
administration
has been very
clear in its'
support for the
enemies of
Israel, putting
us on the wrong
side of God.
The bottom line
is that Israel
has every right
to defend itself
from those who
brazenly call
for the
destruction of
the state of
Israel and all
of the Jewish
people, just as
we have the
right to defend
ourselves from
those who seek
our
destruction..
Like in
everything,
God's Word gives
us the clear
truth regarding
Israel. Please,
do yourself a
favor right now
and get your
Bible and sit
down and spend
the next 10
minutes reading
the anchor
verses for
today, Genesis
12:1-7,
13:14-16, 15:18;
Deuteronomy
9:4-6; Joshua
1:1-11,
21:43-45. You
could spend
hours reading
all the passages
in God's Word
that confirm
that modern-day
Israel is the
land God
promised to
Abraham and gave
to His children.
You do not have
to be a Bible
scholar to
quickly realize
in just the few
key passages I
have given you
today that the
land of Israel
is indeed the
exact land God
Himself promised
to His children
4,000 years ago,
and fulfilled
that promise in
1385 B.C. when
Joshua took
possession of
that land.
Having laid the
Biblical case to
support that the
land of Israel
belongs to the
Jewish people,
now you can see
why giving away
even one inch of
that land to
anyone else is
going against
God Himself. No
person, no
nation, has the
right to give
away what God
promised and
gave to the
Jewish people.
Those who do
make themselves
an enemy of God!
Over and over
throughout the
Bible and human
history, nations
have invaded
this land, taken
it over, only to
be defeated in
the end. The
land of Israel
is only 20,330
sq km, slightly
smaller than the
state of New
Jersey. Out of
the billions of
square miles
that exist on
this earth, this
is the only
place on the
planet God
literally
promised and
gave to His
children. For
anyone to go in
and try to give
a piece of that
land away is
foolish.
That is why the
current "peace
plan" the United
States has had
such a large
role in working
out will never
work and has
actually put our
nation on the
opposite side of
God . . . again!
Let me be clear.
The Gaza Strip
belongs to
ISRAEL! The West
Bank belongs to
ISRAEL!
Jerusalem, all
of it, belongs
to ISRAEL! For
this nation to
be involved in
any deals, even
under the guise
of "peace," that
involves giving
away the land
God gave to the
children of
Israel is taking
on God Himself.
Not to mention
that this land
is being given
away to the
ENEMIES OF
ISRAEL.
My friend, one
of the problems
many have with
the Bible is
that they can't
understand why a
God of love
would command
His children to
go to war and
"kill every man,
woman, child,
and living
thing" as He did
many times in
the Old
Testament. The
reason was this.
God in His
omniscience knew
that the enemies
of Israel, those
who came to
possess their
land, had no
desire for peace
but the complete
destruction and
annihilation of
the Jewish
people. The
complete
obliteration of
the Jewish
people was their
ONLY goal, not
peace. Sadly,
there are some
people who have
no desire for
peace, only
death and
destruction and
you either
destroy them or
they destroy
you. That is one
of the sad
realities of
living in this
fallen and evil
world.
For those who
oppose the war
in Iraq and
Afghanistan,
they either
don't understand
or are
completely blind
to the fact that
there are people
on this planet
whose only goal
is the complete
destruction of
the United
States and every
person who lives
here. That means
you and your
family too. I am
thankful that
this current
administration
understands this
fact and that
the peace-nuts
we see on TV
constantly don't
have the power
to impose their
Pollyanna views
of life on the
defense policies
of this nation
or we would all
be in grave
danger. The sad
reality is that
there are real
people alive
this very moment
whose very real
goal is the
complete
destruction of
the United
States. We will
either kill them
or they will
kill us. We are
blessed that our
forefathers
understood the
evil that exists
in this world or
we would not be
here today,
enjoying the
wonderful
freedoms and
life we do.
Israel also
clearly
understands the
reality that
there are people
who desire their
death and
destruction.
They don't have
the luxury of
great oceans on
either side as
we do, and their
enemies
literally live
all around them.
That is what
makes this
current "peace
plan" so silly.
To actually take
some of the
small amount of
land that
belongs to
Israel and
literally give
it to their
enemies is
absurd and
ridiculous. It
will only
embolden and
empower those
who seek the
destruction of
Israel. Again,
make no mistake
about it. While
we and others
seek "peace," it
takes TWO to
make peace.
Despite the
claims by the
Palestinian
leadership,
their goal is
NOT peace but
the destruction
of Israel. I
have always been
amused at why
anyone thinks it
is necessary to
give the little
strip of land
God gave to
Israel away to
her enemies,
when Israel is
surrounded by
Arab nations
with VAST
AMOUNTS of land
who could easily
assimilate their
Arab brothers
into their
countries. Why
do the
Palestinians
have to live on
the land God
gave to Israel
when there is
plenty of land
in neighboring
Arab countries
they could live
on? What is
wrong with a
"peace plan"
that gave some
of the land in
surrounding Arab
countries to the
Palestinians?
I want to close
with a powerful
promise God made
to Abraham 4,000
years ago in
Genesis 12:3, "I
will bless those
who bless you,
and whoever
curses you I
will curse; and
all peoples on
earth will be
blessed through
you." This one
verse of
Scripture is why
what is
happening in
Israel right now
is so critical
to THIS NATION!
In being part of
a plan to give
away the land
God gave to
Israel to
anyone,
especially her
enemies who seek
her destruction,
puts us on the
wrong side of
God. We should
be seeking the
BLESSINGS of
God, not His
CURSES!
Even though most
Jewish people
have rejected
Christ as their
Savior, blinded
to the reality
that He is the
Messiah they
were promised in
the Old
Testament, they
were, are, and
always will be
God's chosen
people. The
promise God gave
Abraham in
Genesis 12:3 is
still in effect
today. Our
Christian faith
is traced back
through the
children of
Israel. The last
events of this
world will be
played out in
Israel. That is
why we need to
pray for and
support the
Jewish people
and God's plan
for the land of
Israel. Our
blessings in
life come from
following God,
not being in
opposition to
God!
