Will these folks ever learn that Israel is God’s plan for the future in the form of The Kingdom?
Dear Soeren,
NO! The hatred and disdain Iran and other Middle East nations have for Israel are embedded in history. From Cain to Ishmael, the generations that were born to their descendants have hated the Jewish people. God has always blessed the Jewish people, and the surrounding nations have always be jealous of them. Even when they were disobedient to God, He provided a way of escape for the situations they put themselves in. The Holocaust is the most recent abomination perpetrated on the Jewish people, but people forget or do not know the atrocities conducted by the Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Assyrian and Babylonian empires against the Jewish nation. Rome slaughtered thousands in A.D. 70, when they destroyed the Temple and the city of Jerusalem.
Never forget, the Jews are God’s unique people and possession. God gave them the land of Canaan and it is their’s forever. We need to pray for the Jewish people and the Peace of Jerusalem. God is here and He is not silent. He is the sovereign ruler of the universe. His hand will be upon His people for eternity.
Shalom and God Bless you forever,
