Are we Christians blind to the battle that is raging?
By Jan Willem van der Hoeven
Isn't it amazing, that whereas the Evil One, the prince of this world, is slowly but surely getting all the nations on his side in his bitter fight against God's Chosen People, comparatively so few Gentile believers seem to even understand what his fight is all about?
As I have said repeatedly: One can learn from the Devil's actions what it is that is of crucial importance to God. Thus did Satan try to fight and sift Peter as wheat, because he knew that Peter was going to be a key channel and apostle on the side of the Lord and His Kingdom.
Thus he has been fighting Israel like Amalek, from generation to generation, because he seems to know and take the Word of God much more seriously than many Christian Believers do. He knows what he lost through this little Nation; as Paul writes: Through their diminishing, God?s reconciliation came to multitudes of Gentiles, and through their coming fullness will come life from the dead for the whole planet earth. No wonder he is whipping the Nations into what will soon become an Armageddon line-up of all of them against Israel - as the Word of God foretells.
It is a line against which God Himself will fight in defense of His own Beloved People, as Zechariah says, the Lord will that day seek to destroy all the nations which come against Jerusalem; and will bring these nations, as Joel prophesies, into the Valley of Jehoshaphat there to utterly judge them, also for dividing His Land.
Thus today's strategy of the Evil One, a strategy supported by nearly all the Nations of the world, is to divide this tiny land - God?s own Land, which He promised in its entirety to ONE PEOPLE, not to two, as an everlasting possession. This is the first stage of his plan, causing Israel to lose its very biblical heartland, the precise place used repeatedly by God to promise this land to His people Israel.
It is not Tel Aviv that is today on the Evil One's chopping block, but
Beth El
Shechem
Shilo
Hebron and
The Old City of Jerusalem
all soon to become, if the United Nations get their wish, an Islam-impregnated Palestinian state, totally contradictory to all that God said and promised.
We, therefore believe, that the time has now come for us as God's children to make a stand and, just as the Jews have done, put our feet upon this Land in order to secure it for the purposes for which God has given it to His people.
Having identified, then, the Evil One's strategy for thwarting the purpose of God, we need to be alert, like God's people of old, when under Joshua and Caleb, because they believed the promise of God, they stood in faith and courage upon the land - trusting that wherever they put the soles of their feet on what was theirs by divine promise, He would give to them.
So also, we as children of Abraham by faith, have in your name and spirit now also put our feet on this Land, to see it secured for the tremendous purposes of God.
We thank you so much for standing with us in this as without your help and support we would not be able to do it. May the Lord bless you therefore as He promised to bless those who stand up for and bless His own people.
