Weeping for her children

It is both ironic and tragic what is happening in the Middle East at Christmas time.

A conflict between 2 brothers thousands of years ago has now resulted in 2 nations whose hatred for each other will never cease till Jesus returns.

“Religious fervour”, “Patriotism”, whatever you want to label it is a powerful yet so often misguided loyalty.

When we put human life below our beliefs we always violate principles that transcend any belief.

When we happily murder our own flesh and blood because they don’t believe what we do something has gone seriously wrong hasn’t it.

The Bible teaches that there will be a treaty between Israel and Palestine, brokered by the AntiChrist. He will break that treaty and violate the temple and this will be the key to the beginning of the Tribulation. (Daniel 9:27).

Until then however God will not allow Israel to fall and will protect her as he has done so many times already.

In fact a quick study on Israel as a nation is incredible reading. They have been attacked relentlessly for generations and have overpowered larger nations time and time again.

So in our own lives lets ensure we aren’t inadvertently “fighting God” .

God promised Abraham that He would protect His people and give them the Promised Land.

In the same way he has promised you that if you live your life with a clean conscience and treat others as you wish to be treated, then blessing and goodness can flow into your life. Maybe this holiday is a good time to contact that relative you can’t stand, to ring that guy you ignored at work or to build bridges with that neighbour you always gossip about. You have time, do you have the will??
