SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
"Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore."
Isaiah 2:3-4 (N.I.V.)
Sadly, this is what it will take for the world to be in peace. Until then, we will hear about wars and rumors of wars, in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Israel, Africa and around the world. But look, most of the wars and violence are happening in the middle eastern countries all around God's chosen people and the land of Israel where the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob built His house, His holy temple where there now sits an Islamic mosque. Islam is the chief enemy of the Jewish people, vowing to wipe Israel of the face of the earth. According to the Word of God, this will never happen because the God who is the defender of Israel never slumbers or sleeps and He will not allow the total destruction of His chosen ones, the Jews.
His Word clearly says, "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you," Gen. 12:3. There is nothing any Government, including the United States, or the United Nations can do to foster 'world peace.' It will come only by the hand of the Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth.
Our nation was blessed when we supported Israel in 1948 and beyond. Until recently, our government was the best friend of the Jewish nation, we were like Israel's big brother who came to defend her from Islamic bullies like Iran, Egypt, and Syria. Now, our Government is becoming increasingly anti-Israel and our nation is weakening under our current "Obama" administration. Even though God will not allow His people to be "wiped out," it seems to me that we need to go back to our old policies that support Israel and defend her people from Islamic terrorists and the threats of nuclear annihilation leveled against her by Iran. We, as a nation, we to stand firm with Israel and be a blessing to her if we want God's blessing on us to continue. Our current leaders are not really on her side. We can tell by our foreign policies and our pressure on the Israeli government to divide Jerusalem and give half of it to the Palestinians. That can never happen because Jerusalem is Israel's capitol given them by God 3000 years ago. Every Christian individual who loves Jesus should also love the nation and people of Israel and bless them with prayer and treasure and in turn, God will bless us according to His glorious riches. God's Word says, "He will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you." So, it's a no-brainer, bless Israel, show her your love and support and "pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper who love you." Psalm 122:6 (N.K.J.V.)
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Thank You Father God, Yahweh, for the wisdom we find in Your Word. Thank You sending Your Son to save us from our sin. I ask that You touch our government officials with the power of the Holy Spirit and show them the error of their ways and the policies that might hurt Your chosen ones. Let them be a blessing to Your people and protect them from the Islamic threat. Use us Lord, as an instrument of peace and let Your kingdom come and Your will be done on this earth as it is in heaven. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem now and all ways. Help me to be obedient to this Word. I thank You for being my Protector, Provider, Healer, Comforter, Counselor and all that I need. The great, "I Am That, I Am." In the name of Jesus, Yeshua, make it so...
