Playing With Fire
..........and many are getting burned
All mankind is stupid and devoid of knowledge Jeremiah 51:17
Powerful and corrupt men assume that their meddleing and trifling with Israel is a small and non consequential thing.
God always uses the small things to confound and trip up the wise.
These cursed leaders will stumble and fall along with the nations for how they have rewarded evil and pushed their double standard agenda against Israel and the Jews.
Beware of blowback
Don't stand too close to these wolves in sheeps clothing who push Satan's Road Map agenda against Israel and the Jewish people.
This was written by Jan Willem van der Hoeven of the International Christian Zionist Center in Jerusalem.
Is there any sense of G-d judging in the end every man and woman according to His holy standards and NOT according to the 'progressed opinion' of today's Judeo-Christian world?
If G-d truly is the holy and supreme Being He says He is, then we soon will be in trouble for ignoring Him and even contradicting Him to our own peril and danger!
Take for instance the recent tragedy of Gush Katif brought upon the courageous people of those communities by the policies of the United States and a corrupted Israeli government. Many of the victims were some of the best, truly-believing community members of Israeli Jews. They had lived there for decades.
Not only were their lovingly-built homes and synagogues destroyed by the cruel wish and policy of these nations, but at the same time the coherence of their family life, faith and livelihood was destroyed. This today has left some of these ravished and deeply-sorrowful people wondering where is the G-d to Whom they so faithfully prayed, and upon Whom they hoped for a last-minute miracle and redemption.
In short: in the cruel inhumane expulsion of these truly G-d-believing Israeli Jews, not only were they trampled down; so too was the Name of their G-d, the Almighty One. In this way the "disengagement" was truly, as orthodox Jews would say, Hilul Hashem - a desecration of His Name.
I therefore strongly believe that G-d will answer this vilification of His Name by the vindication of His Name - for the honor and sake of His great Name! His answer will come, not only in defense of His people who suffered such incredible sorrow and loss at the hands of the U.S. and Israeli governments, but in defense of His Name which literally was put into the mud together with His people's homes and places of prayer when they were destroyed.
And this desecration was witnessed on television by the whole world! Gentiles across the globe saw multitudes of Jews praying, hoping and crying out for G-d's intervention. Then they watched them being pushed from their homes and onto buses while still - holding in their hands their prayer books - they prayed and called upon the Name of G-d.
If G-d will not answer their cries and the cries of these their young ones who have been drifting aimlessly these last months stuffed into hotel rooms all over Israel without the coherence of the orderly family lives they once knew - if G-d will not answer their cry, then the biggest loser of this whole sordid calamity will be G-d Himself.
His Name and character have been found wanting. He failed to answer the cries of His own people, who believed in Him, trusting Him for a late miracle. It seems to them that nothing happened. At least not at that time.
Yet G-d did answer their anguished and fervent cry and prayers.
Less than a week after this horrible expulsion, the U.S. suffered one of its worst hurricane disasters in history when Katrina hit New Orleans and surroundings. Then Wilma struck, and who knows what else will follow for G-d to make His message clear to the U.S. administration, to President George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice: that they - by their policy against G-d's wish for His people - are on a disastrous collision course with G-d almighty, the G-d of Israel, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Himself!
And if what we have already seen is what had to happen, by the will of G-d to the United States, what then will happen to the people responsible for this Hilul Hashem here in Israel?
G-d will answer the cries, the weeping of His people. Of that I am sure. And His answer will be shocking in its firmness and severity, for it concerns the holiness of His Name and character which suffered such a trampling underfoot by the will of self-wise human governments.
For this, because He is G-d, the Holy One of Israel, there will be an answer - His answer - not only in the States but also here in Israel. And it may well come soon!
Amazingly appropriate therefore the words in the book of Job seem to be when it says:
From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind. He scatters His bright clouds and they swirl about, being turned by His guidance, that they may do whatever He commands them on the face of the whole earth. He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for His land, or for mercy. (Job 37:9-13)
It will be for the unity of His land and out of His mercy for those who have wept and prayed - Jews and Christians - that the living God of Israelis acting and will act.
