Dividing Abraham's Land! (Conclusion)


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!
