ISRAEL AGAIN
Please make it a point to begin recognizing how many times Israel is mentioned in the news through the course of a day, week, or month and you will begin to see that there is something special about this nation. Why does the Promised Land which was given to the Jews thousands of years ago have so much significance in the world today?
God GAVE THE LAND OF ISRAEL TO THE JEWS
He gave them strict commands
Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always. Remember today that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the LORD your God: his majesty, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm; the signs he performed and the things he did in the heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his whole country; what he did to the Egyptian army, to its horses and chariots, how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red Seaas they were pursuing you, and how the LORD brought lasting ruin on them.
It was not your children who saw what he did for you in the desert until you arrived at this place, and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them. But it was your own eyes that saw all these great things the LORD has done. Observe therefore all the commands I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and take over the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,and so that you may live long in the land that the LORD swore to your forefathers to give to them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey. The land you are entering to take over is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you planted your seed and irrigated it by foot as in a vegetable garden. But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven. It is a land the LORD your God cares for; the eyesof the LORD your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end. So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today-to love the LORD your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul- then I will send rainon your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied. Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.Then the LORD’S anger will burn against you, and he will shutthe heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you. Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be manyin the land that the LORD swore to give your forefathers, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth. If you carefully observe all these commands I am giving you to follow-to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways and to hold fastto him- then the LORD will drive outall these nationsbefore you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you. Every place where you set your foot will be yours:Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the western sea. No man will be able to stand against you. The LORD your God, as he promised you, will put the terror and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go. See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse – the blessingif you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known. When the LORD your God has brought you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim on Mount Gerizim the blessings, and on Mount Ebal the curses. As you know, these mountains are across the Jordan, west of the road, toward the setting sun, near the great trees of Moreh,in the territory of those Canaanites living in the Arabah in the vicinity of Gilgal. You are about to cross the Jordan to enter and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you. When you have taken it over and are living there, be sure that you obey all the decrees and laws I am setting before you today.”
While it is true that the Jesus defeated the devil and his demons at the cross and Christ and his followers are the victors for eternity it must be understood that the final climax is yet to be worked out on the earth. The land of Israel will be on center stage as the devil and those who follow him will make a grand effort to destroy her to their own peril.
Please read Ezekiel 28:2-10 and Isaiah 14:12-21 to see how Satan was defeated. Read Revelation 12:7-10,12 and see that although the devil and his demons were cast out of heaven that they are even at this very moment raising as much havoc on earth as they can. Psalm 2 tells you how Satan, the demons, and all of his followers hate God and His Anointed (Jesus, God the Son). Psalm 83:4 shows how they conspire to destroy Israel as a nation (Does that sound like anyone you know?). It is advisable to go on to study more scriptures from there. There are many other scriptures and commentaries on this subject. So whether you choose to study audio presentations, video, the internet or any other means of learning please make a point to do so. Your future is very important to us. We love you and want you to make it to heaven.
THIS LAND OF ISRAEL IS SO IMPORTANT TO GOD. IT IS AMAZING THAT ALTHOUGH ISRAEL IS SO SMALL IN SIZE THAT IS THE CENTRAL FOCUS OF THE WORLD TODAY. IT IS AS IF THE UNIVERSE WAITS IN GREAT ANTICIPATION TO SEE WHAT THE FATE OF ISRAEL WILL BE. YOU SEE IF SATAN CAN DESTROY ISRAEL HE WILL HAVE EFFECTLY MADE THE BIBLE OUT TO BE A LIE. EVEN MORE THAN THAT HE WILL HAVE DISPROVED THE VERY EXISTENCE OF GOD OR AT THE VERY LEAST SHOWN HIM TO BE POWERLESS. DON’T YOU KNOW THAT THIS WOULD SO PLEASE ATHEISTS AND ALL WHO HAVE SET THEMSELVES UP AGAINST GOD ALMIGHTY. OF COURSE SATANS’S (THE DEVIL’S) PLAN WILL NOT SUCCEED BECAUSE JESUS WILL PREVAIL. GOD WILL RESCUE ISRAEL.
The time will eventually come when the devil (Satan) and his demons will be thrown in the bottomless pit forever but until that time those who know the Lord must remember James 4:7 which says,” Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Also 1 Peter 5:8 warns us to, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lionlooking for someone to devour,” and that we are to resist him.
“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.” Revelation 19:20
“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” Revelation 20:10
“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Revelation 20:14
UNBELIEVERS PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION:
“And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15
This is not a scare tactic. All of you who do not know Christ as your Savior please receive him into your hearts today while there is still time. This way you can be sure that you will not be included with those referred to in Revelation 20:15.
