My Love For You, Israel, Will Never Falter


"He shall say to them, "Hear O Israel, you are approaching the battle against your enemies today.  Do not be fainthearted.  Do not be afraid, or panic, or tremble before them" (Deut 20:2);  "Even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, And I will subdue all your enemies" (1 Chron. 17:10)  "I will bring near My righteousness; it is not far off; And My salvation will  not delay.  And I will grant salvation in Zion, And My glory for Israel" (Isaiah 46:13).

Hey Gang:  How would you like to wake up with a siren screaming, warning you that you have fifteen seconds to get to a bomb shelter or possess annihilation.  In the past week over 600 such missiles have invaded the land of Israel.  If you could only grab one child which one would you take?

The words of Claudia Koenig, wife of International White House correspondent who happened to be in Israel during the beginning and the Hamas onslaught penned these words, "The Jews setting their gazing eyes on us (Koenigs, representing America) seeking a word of comfort and wisdom.  They listened to our words, seeking a solution for peace for their land.  There is a fighting spirit in their words, yet they are restrained by the politicians and religious leaders -in whom they have no hope. 

This battle is to be won by the One, whose name is not allowed to be spoken, Yeshua.  He is the Son of the God of Israel, the Messiah, whose name is on the city of Jerusalem.  He is the solution, He is the Hope of Israel.

Without a spoken word, the presence of the His Spirit is felt in the midst of His people during the meetings.  The wondering of their hearts is expressed on their faces...."Could it be that what I am sensing in them be the Messiah? The solution? The hope of our people....dare I believe?".

The world so badly wants to spew its venom on this tiny nation that exists in the midst of a desert of darkness.  Today some nations say, “You are right, Israel, for retaliating but do not retaliate too violently.  You must think of the women and children, be humane.” BUT, there is no such concern for the little ones and women and elderly who are the recipients of the missiles that carry death and despair into their country.

Is there another nation in history that calls and warns people that a weapon of destruction will soon be forthcoming - leave immediately?  Is there another nation in history that, when their people are called, the residents of that house are advised by Hamas to go onto the roof top and be a human shield?   Has there been a nation that places launching devises for missiles in kindergartens, hospitals, and in homes?

And, has there been another nation in history that provides, in one day, 1,228 tons of food to their enemy, 290,000 liters of fuel, medical supplies and opens its hospitals and medical staff to caring for their enemies wounded, as Israel does?

Soooo, my friends and neighbors, many times I have quoted the verse in Hebrew 12 that tell us a time is coming when everything that can be shaken will be shaken.  When we see this shaking taking place, it is time to look up, for our redemption draws near.     We have an option to be excited about what is happening in our world today, for surely we are nearing that day when God says to His Son, Yeshua," time for a wedding feast - go and collect Your bride".  What say you, is your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life? 

Blessings,
