Pray for the people of Jerusalem:
They shall prosper that love thee.
Psalm 122:6
There is heartache and upheaval going on in Israel now...
They shall prosper that love thee.
Psalm 122:6
There is heartache and upheaval going on in Israel now...
The Israeli government, under the direction of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, has begun to evict all the Jewish settlers who now live in the Gaza territories. This is a land these people struggled to develop and risked their lives to live in.
I know by what the Holy Scriptures reveal that God has a special plan for the Jews. They are the apples of His eye. Yet even in this grievous situation when large portions of what is now the Gaza territories are being turned over to the Palestinians. God is still in control of things.
Personally, I do not believe God approves of what’s being done. But what I think He is hoping to show the Jews through this is that their own government cannot be depended upon to keep them safe. Instead, it is the Lord alone that the Jews must look to for their help and deliverance. Their trust in politicians or religious or military leaders must come to an end.
According to the Bible, at some point in time many more troublesome events will happen in Israel, as well as to Jews living throughout the world, that will cause them to have no choice but to look toward heaven for their help.
One day, Jerusalem will be surrounded and overrun by her enemies until her Messiah gloriously and supernaturally appears to establish His throne and take command of the earth (Zechariah 14:1-11).
