In the Bible, God's chosen people are the Jews. I'm sure you know the story from Sunday School. God chose a man named Abraham, and called him out of his own nation to a city of his own (Jerusalem). Abraham then had a son named Isaac, and then he had a son named Jacob. God changed Jacob's name to Israel, and then made a mighty nation out of his sons, the twelve tribes of Israel.
As you read the Bible, however, you find that as there is a protagonist, there is always an antagonist. God chose them, and this angered Satan, who filled with rage desired to attack the beloved of God. The Devil hates God's people. And as you study history, you see how Satan wrought tirelessly to war against the Jews and their nation time and again.
All throughout the history of mankind, he has never given up his attack upon the Jews. First, the Devil attacked them in Egypt, and put them under bondage there for 400 years. Afterwards, God chose Moses to led them to freedom, and to their own country. But even then Satan used his mixed multitude to turn the people from God to idols, as they worshipped a golden calf.
After Israel became a nation, the Devil persisted his attacks with the invasion of the Egyptians and later the Babylonions. This lead to Israel losing the land that God had promised them, and leaving them a displaced people, wandering the world alone. You'd think this would be enough. But no, Satan did not stop there. His hatred only grew, and he followed them throughout the ends of the earth, persuading governments to persecute the Jews to the extreme.
Nations like Spain in the 1400s expelled the Jews, and countries like Germany exterminated in horrible holocausts like that under Hitler in the 1940's.
But then in 1948 something happened. Israel became a nation again, just as God prophecied they would. And there they are today back in their God-given homeland. But don't think for a minute that Satan has given up. No! Instead, we find the Devil even more enraged, as he's engaged in using the same tactics he has always employeed to try to erradicate Israel. But this time he's going to use every nation at his disposal to try to erase the Jews from off the face of the earth.
And, as we look at today's headlines, we see the Devil doing just that. Not only is he using intimidation techniques, but he's also using "Politics!" He has politicians working hard to try to make Israel give in to political pressure and to "give up her borders" to a pre-1967 state. We also see an orchestrated attempt to bring about days of rage in Muslim countries to overthrow existing pro-Israel governments, and in their place set up anti-Israel organizations like Hamas. One by one Israel's neighbors have fallen, and are joining with those who hate Israel and share the desire to see her annihilation.
Egypt has fallen. So has Syria and others. Riots are in the streets, but they are not revolutions for freedom, as the press desires us to think, rather anti-Israel rallies in which people chant in the streets for the death of the Israeli people.
Iran is actively praising the destruction of Israel, as they try to secure nuclear weapons in which they seek to use to destroy the Jewish nation. And who can forget the president of Iran and how many times he's prayed to his God while in the United Nations assembly, asking him to destroy Israel?
The
And, even in this the once great nation of ours, the the United States of America we see a great insurgency in anti-semitism, and those who cry against Israel while desiring a Palestinian state.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE THERE IS A GREAT CONSPIRACY AGAINST ISRAEL IN WHICH ALL THE NATIONS OF THE ARE WORKING TOGETHER FOR HER DEMISE!
But that can't be, right? Well, if you believe the Bible, it can be, and it is. The fact is there is a Satanic Conspiracy against Israel. There always has been, and there always will be. The Devil is a master at turning his minions against the people of God. And he is busy doing the same thing today (not just against Jews, but also against Christians as well). Even the United Nations is involved, wanting Israel to give up land to a new Palestinian state. However, this would leave Israel completely defenseless, and unable to defend her homeland. Still, they persist that she give up and give in and do what they say knowing full well it will weaker her state and her vulnerable to attack.
But even though the whole world might be against Israel, God is not. In fact, he's written in his holy word that he will defend Israel and defeat her enemies when he returns at the battle of Armageddon.
So which side are you on? The side of the Conspirators, or on the side of God's Chosen people.
