The Blessing to Israel is on the National Level

Exodus 34:24 "For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the Lord thy God thrice in the year."

The Land: (It belongs to Israel, because everything belongs to God and God gave it to Israel.)

Comment on the Present Situation Concerning Israel

QUESTIONS: (1) Why do all the "experts" on the middle east blame Israel for the uproar going on over there when it has always been exactly that way before Israel was established there as a state in 1948?

(2) Why do all the "experts" demand that the Arabs should be given the Golan Heights when the Arabs have vowed to not rest until Israel is pushed into the sea?

(3) If the real Arab issue is only that Israel be moved back to "pre-1967 borders", how do the "experts" explain the Arab attack against Israel in 1967?

(4) Why do anti-Semitic Americans resent financial aid to Israel, but not to all the Catholic countries of the world?

(Romans 15:27 "It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.")

Why All The Hostility? (It is a spiritual battle of evil against that which is cherished of God.)

Acts 7:9 "And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him. . . ."

13:42-45 "But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy. . . ."

(The Lord foresaw this:)

Genesis 12:1-7 "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee. . . ."

A Woman (The whole world hates and curses this woman.)

Jeremiah 6:2 "I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman." (There are two women in Revelation.)

Revelation 12:1 "And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. . . ." (The Lord has exalted this woman.)

12:13 "And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman. . . ."

[Whatever God loves, Satan hates.]

12:17 "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed. . . ."

Another Woman (The whole world loves and makes deals with this woman.)

Revelation 17:3 "So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns."

v. 4 "And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour. . . ."

v. 6-7 "And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."

v. 9 "And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth."

v. 18 "And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."

[This woman is also typified by a city: it is Rome.] (This woman is not just a whore: she is the mother of whores.)

The Woman Hated

Genesis 43:32 ". . . the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians."

Obadiah 1:2 "Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised." (They always have been.)

Acts 18:1-2 "After these things Paul departed from Athens . . . because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome. . . ."

Falsely Accused

Genesis 39:1-21 ". . . an Hebrew . . . came in unto me to lie with me. . . ."

Acts 19:23-34 "But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians." (They are an idolatrous and murderous mob that loves money and the "Queen of Heaven".)

God’s Return to Israel

Jeremiah 3:14 "Turn, O backsliding children, saith the Lord; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion. . . ."
