I don't understand what you are going through nor can I ever because you and I are so different. YOUR COUNTRY IS SO DIFFERENT THAN OUR COUNTRY. But I can take all the things we are alike in and say, Wow, you are doing a mighty wonderful job of keeping your Country Godlike. You are God's chosen people, and because of this, you face persecution from the enemy. The same as I. The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy and he is very real.
All Christians, face persecution, trials and tribulations, in some form or other, as does Israel. We have that in common. God loves us both. He chose you all special through Abraham the Father of Israeli Jews. The Man of Promise, THE MAN OF THE PROMISED LAND, ISRAEL, his covenant being circumcision. As Gentiles, we have Jesus who is the Man of Promise, THE MAN OF HEAVEN. The one who was dead but is now alive, sitting at the Right Hand of God. He has promised to graft us onto the root of the Tree of Judaism. We are your promised spiritual cousins. THE HOLY SPIRIT BEARS WITNESS WITH OUR SPIRIT THAT WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD.
But still and yet, I cannot bear the thought that you have to face everyday, the threat of annihilation by ungodly peoples who do not grasp what it means to be God like. God is not out to get Israel, as He is not out to get us, Christians. He is for our forgiver (the great I AM-Yhwh), God the Highest (El Eln), provider (JHVH JIREH), our banner (JHVH NISSI), our healer (JHVH RAPHA), our peace (JHVH SHALOM), His presence (JHVH SHAMA). He is our Comforter, our Encourager, our Blesser, our Guider, and our Wisdom giver and He does not hold our faults against us, only don't be double minded, for that man will receive nothing from God.
I so love each and every one of you, fervently. And pray for The Peace of Jerusalem daily. I pray for you when you are attacked unmercifully. I pray for your past leader Ariel Sharon. I pray for your leader, Netanyahu. I go in daily to your Prayer Wall and pray for all those people who are standing praying at YOUR WALL, I lift each one up to God's throne of grace, to obtain mercy and find grace to help in their time of need, I ask that God will give them the desires of their hearts and that God will answer their every prayer. And most of all, like I said before, I PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM.
I only hope that in some small way, THIS ENCOURAGES YOU, ISRAEL. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, KEEP ON KEEPING ON, KEEP YOUR CHIN UP, YOU DESERVE BETTER TREATMENT THAN THE WORLD GIVES YOU.
Jacob Wrestles With God
22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. 23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”
“Jacob,” he answered.
28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[a] because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”
But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[b] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[c] and he was limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.
AT LEAST GOD HIMSELF BLESSED YOU!
