Romans 11:18
King James Version
18 Boast not against the branches.
But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root,
but the root thee.
We could really write a whole book on Israel.
On this chosen nation of GOD.
On her ability to manage her nation.
On her ability to survive.
As if GOD's hand is upon her.
Or is it?
We shall find out.
From her reality.
And from Scripture.
Israel's reality:
When you're a David, you know how to deal with a Goliath, no matter if Goliath has many brothers.
When nations hate you, you don't hate them back.
When nations go on the offense, you go on the defense.
When you've been at war too long, you know how to survive.
When your government is being crushed from within, you know it is the enemy's infiltration, trying to weaken you from within.
When you have no friends, you know it doesn't matter. GOD is your FRIEND. What better friend can one have?
When others try to withhold supplies from you, you know you have to make your own.
When others try to weaken your resolve, you know it is a trick from the enemy.
When others try to bully you, you know you must work from your strengths.
When others spread lies about you, you remain in your own truth.
When others want to destroy you, you know you must survive.
This is the miracle that is Israel.
Ganged up on all fronts.
And yet she survives.
Through the MIGHTY HAND of GOD.
Even as she hasn't acknowledged JESUS, the MESSIAH.
GOD's will be done, through her.
She is meant to live, thrive, and survive.
She is meant to have a "remnant".
She cannot be destroyed.
She lives, for GOD's purpose.
For Himself.
Deuteronomy 14:2
King James Version
2 For thou art an holy people
unto the Lord thy God,
and the Lord hath chosen thee
to be a peculiar people unto himself,
above all the nations that are upon the earth.
Isaiah 43:21
King James Version
21 This people have I formed for myself;
they shall shew forth my praise.
1 Peter 2:9
King James Version
9 But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light;
Israel is not perfect.
But GOD loves her anyway.
She has sinned against GOD too many times.
GOD judges her, she repents, then He forgives her.
She still doesn't acknowledge JESUS, the MESSIAH.
But JESUS died for her anyway.
She is the center of Satan's evil eye.
Because she is the APPLE of GOD's eye.
Do you now see what all this battle is about?
It's about JESUS, and Satan.
As it has always been.
She is hated, because GOD loves her.
Hatred has always been the work of Satan.
All that GOD loves, Satan will destroy.
At his own peril.
Satan truly has a learning disability.
He has not learned the first time.
So he hasn't, to this day.
But GOD's will be done.
Israel is for GOD's GLORY.
As everything is.
Right from the start.
JESUS taught us that.
EVERYTHING for GOD's GLORY.
It was never for any man's glory.
Much less for Satan.
