ANOTHER WAR IN ISRAEL!

But is it just another war? Or could this lead to WWIII? Regardless of where it goes, let's examine the basics. In Genesis 12:3 (NLT), God tells Abraham, the father of the Jewish Nation, "And I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on Earth will be blessed through you."

This blessing is not to Abraham alone but to all his descendants. (See the companion article: Replacement Theology) God intends to bless everyone through Abraham's descendants, but those who foolishly reject his requirement for blessing (I will bless those who bless you) will instead be cursed.

Additionally, in Genesis 27:29 (NLT) this blessing is carried forward to Jacob, "May many nations become your servants, and may they bow down to you. May you be the master over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. All those who curse you will be cursed, and all who bless you will be blessed." This shows that the line of blessing is Abraham to Issac to Jacob, not Abraham to Ishmael. In an incident of further blessing to Jacob by an angel from heaven, Jacob is renamed Israel, from whom the Jewish nation grew. God is very exact and very strict about this blessing and cursing. Those who have chosen to ignore this word from God and curse the nation of Israel will suffer the heavy consequences of God's curse.

Some media outlets describe this as militant gunmen invading Israel. It should be described as criminal intrusion by terrorists who murder, rape, and torture. Their behavior is not that of animals, but more like what one would observe in a pack of rabid dogs. It is the behavior of demons from hell. Women and even children have been brutalized by these vile men. Yet they go blindly forward, seemingly unconcerned at the punishment they will suffer from the very hand of God himself.

Psalm 83 prophesied of these brute beasts. Speaking of a future time, the psalmist quotes what they say in verse 4: "They have said, come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance." Scripture is clear that this foolish attitude will cause them to reap their own violence.

So these cursed people (God's words, not mine) will inherit the eternal lake of fire. UNLESS, like all of us, they acknowledge that the one they call the "prophet Isa" (Jesus) is who he says he is: The Lamb of God. They must accept Him as God's Son, the final blood sacrifice that erases our sin!
