God
is sending His judgment upon the nations because of the attempt to
take Abraham's land from his descendants. The Lord God is angry at
the nations for their efforts in dividing the land of Israel. After
WWII, Palestine was a colony of Great Britain. They used Palestine to
begin relocating the displaced Jews from WWII. The problem was that
the Jews displaced the Palestinians and that created animosity and
hatred between the two groups of people. Consequently, the political
climate became so volatile that Great Britain gave up sovereign
control of the area and left Israel and the Arabs to settle the
dispute. When Great Britain pulled out of the area, the leadership of
Israel drafted a declaration of independence and presented it to the
UN. The declaration was accepted and they were affirmed by the UN as
a nation in 1948.
The
Arab nations surrounding Israel immediately began offensive efforts
to eliminate the nation and the people. But the birth of the nation
in 1948 was to be the beginning of restoration of the latter days
Israel as promised by the Old Testament prophets. Through miracle
after miracle by God's Divine intervention, Israel has sustained
their destiny. The invading nations surrendered one by one and the
whole world knew that Israel was reborn. This new beginning, however,
has not been an effortless evolution. Since 1948 the sovereignty of
Israel as a nation has been challenged numerous times and each time
the sovereign hand of God has intervened on their behalf. Why?
Because He has not forgotten His covenant with Abraham. He will
restore the whole of Palestine to Israel. He gave it to Abraham in
Genesis 12 & 13. After 400 years of exile in Egypt, Moses led
them back and Joshua led them in. God's plan includes Israel in the
end-time events at the culmination of all things in Jesus Christ. He
will preserve them for their complete restoration where He is their
God and they are His people. They are there and they will remain!
