Israel and Invincibility - Terry James -
The shooting down of an Israeli military jet over Syria as it apparently attacked an Iranian military site seems to have exposed a long-held fear of Israel's enemies of the region.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, following a statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, chided that the shooting down of the fighter jet on February 10 had shattered the myth of Israel's "so-called invincibility." It is thought to be the first loss of an Israeli military plane to hostile fire since 2006.
Zarif, in his glee over the shoot-down, said, "Israel uses aggression as a policy against its neighbors," accusing Israel of "mass reprisals against its neighbors and daily incursions into Syria, Lebanon." He added, "Once the Syrians have the guts to down one of its planes it's as if a disaster has happened."
His caustic remarks came following Netanyahu's holding up a piece of what he called an Iranian drone and accusing Iran of desiring to impose an empire across the Middle East.
The Israeli engagement with Syrian and Iranian military as of late has some quite astute prophecy watchers speculating that the Isaiah 17 destruction of Damascus, the Psalm 83 war, or even the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38 might be in the making.
Bill Salus of Prophecy Depot Ministry, for example asks: "an Israeli F-16 was shot down by the Syrian Air Defense Force after conducting an air raid on Iranian-backed positions inside Syria. Does this set the stage for the fulfillment of the Isaiah and Jeremiah prophecies concerning the doom of Damascus?"
Many who write are concerned about Israel and its precarious position amongst the Mid-East haters. Particularly, there are concerns about Benjamin Netanyahu and the political intrigues by which he is surrounded.
Not unlike in the case of our own president, it seems the enemies of sound thinking, democracy, and sanity are assaulting Netanyahu at every turn. So far, the globalists and all the others who come against these men are failing in their attempts to bring them-and their nations as democracies-down so that the world order can become reality in order to achieve their evil desires.
The Iranian's snarky remark about the myth of Israel's invincibility having been shattered betrays a deeper-seated anger. It involves the same sort of resentment the so-called "deep state" and Swamp "establishment" harbors for Donald Trump and Bibi's hate-filled enemies have for him.
The resentment and hatred seems to me to marinate in anti-God vitriol. Satanic fury is at the bottom of the rage.
It's as if Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif knows-or at the very least strongly suspects-that God has provided Israel with some degree of invincibility. The loss of a single plane to anti-Israeli, military fire in 12 years is reason to jubilantly proclaim Israel's invincibility is smashed. They mockingly call that invincibility "myth." But you have to know that down deep in the Arab-Islamist psyche, they sense that it's not a myth.
The devastating Arab forces losses of the 1948 war at Israel's rebirth into modernity, the 1956 war and 1967 wars led by Gamul Nasser, and the 1973 Yom Kipper war led by Anwar Sadat amount to strong evidence. Israel's seeming invulnerability to defeat must make invincibility seem far more to them than "myth."
I'm convinced that Egypt's Sadat came to the conclusion that Israel's God indeed assures Israel's invincibility. He thus wisely made peace with Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin while President Jimmy Carter looked on all those years ago.
God does assure that Israel will be a nation forever. But, at the moment, the Jewish state is not God's nation in the sense of being the eternal Israel, as promised. Israel is the Lord's chosen nation-chosen to one day be His people and His nation. This will happen when the remnant of surviving, believing Jews at Christ's return look upon their Messiah.
There is coming a time before then when they will seem anything but invincible. The Tribulation -the time of Jacob's trouble (Jeremiah 30:7)-will be the worst time ever for Israel. Satan, through his tyrant Antichrist, will wreak more devastation on the Jewish race and the nation Israel than have all the tyrants down through human history.
But, in the truest sense of the word invincible, the Jewish race-the nation Israel-is the one national entity God-guaranteed to never perish from the earth.
"This is what the Lord says, 'He who appoints the sun to shine by day, Who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar - the Lord Almighty is His Name; Only if these ordinances vanish from My sight,' declares the Lord, 'will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before Me.'" (Jeremiah 31:35-36)
