Israel take courage

To those of Israel I would like to extend my support and encouragement in their difficult days ahead. A few news items of recent days protend very critical times ahead for God's people.

First and most grave is the Iranian threat of nuclear development. Israel's government has said they would not allow Iran to reach the point of nuclear weapons production. The Iranian government in like fashion responds they won't back down. This has very serious implications for that region of the world.

Second is the continuing campaign by the UN and the EU against Israel's retaining of land captured in 1967. No one gives Israel the slighest credit for making the recent painful evacuation out of Gaza. Israel continues to be called an apartheid state. Israel is now being called on to give up the Golan Heights, Judea and Samaria and part of Jerusalem. This is clearly a form of insanity that Israel has no recourse but to resist. The agenda of their opponents is clear, to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. They are using the international community, violence, the media and various economic pressures to push other nations to pressure Israel.

This is so much like the old days of Arab Muslim conquest, harass, raid, infiltrate, find collaborators, armed attack, kill uncooperative leaders. It won't stop with that since the later parts of this formula leads to enslavement, depopulation and total annhilation of conquered regions. This is history of Islam. Israel stands in the breach between the present world resurgence in militant Islam and the rest of the world. It is very sad to say that the only resolution for this will result in a world wide time of trouble and distress. Today's problems will pale next to what is in store for the nations as they escalate their violence against God's people in Israel.

To those of Israel, take courage, God will be with you, believe in HaShem alone. He told Moses that "I will be whatever you need me to be".
