Focus On Jerusalem

We know VP Biden is over in Israel and he's trying to do his best to be friendly with both Jews and Arabs.

I just was talking with a client on the phone (a good Lutheran) and she said, with noted disgust, that she was shocked that Israel announced plans yesterday to continue building housing units on "Arab" land. (The Bible says it's God's land...but that's for another discussion)

I believe that most of us really don't have a firm understanding of how the nation of Israel came to it's independence, how the wars were fought with their Arab enemies, and simply have no idea how this all ties into Biblical prophecy.

So below I will post a link called Focus on Jerusalem. It is very easy reading and comes with maps so you can understand just how tiny the nation of Israel is....and just how utterly surrounded she is by Arab nations that want to see her destroyed.

The link will take you to Map 1 and at the bottom of that you can continue looking at map 2, 3, 4, etc...

It's important to note that the Arab nations have NEVER wanted peace. They want Israel gone....and they know it will be necessary to kill all the Israeli Jews to make this happen.

The Arabs not only rejected partition, but attacked Israel from all sides. On the day that Israel declared its independence, the Arab League Secretary, General Azzam Pasha declared "jihad", a holy war. He said, "This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades". The Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al Husseini stated, "I declare a holy war, my Moslem brothers! Murder the Jews! Murder them all!" The armies of lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq invaded the tiny new country with the declared intent of destroying it.

Friends....if the U.S. government ignores historical facts and decides instead to pressure, cajole and force Israel to give up land, treasure and security in a bogus attempt to claim, "Peace in the region!"....I have to believe that the USA will also be forced by God to give up our land, treasure and security.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem....even though we are fully aware that permanent peace will NEVER come until our Lord Jesus shows up on scene wearing the crown, "PRINCE OF PEACE AND LORD OF LORDS!"
