On Thin Ice With God

 On Thin Ice With God: The Growing Betrayal of Israel And Obsession With Dividing Jerusalem – By Jonathan Brentner - https://harbingersdaily.com/on-thin-ice-with-god-the-growing-betrayal-of-israel-and-obsession-with-dividing-jerusalem/ In regard to its policy on Israel, the Biden administration is skating on thin ice. In the natural realm, this represents danger and death. If Israel remains God’s chosenpeople to whom He gave the Land of Israel, and they are, then the current position of the U.S. government is foolhardy at best. Let’s begin by examining what President Biden and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken bring to the table. They claim that the only path to peace is the establishment ofa Palestinian State, which would divide both the Land and Jerusalem. Even worse, they are attempting to force Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to accept their solution. In an article on her website, Caroline Glick wrote, “The Biden administration showed its hand on Tuesday when U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken gave Israel an ultimatumto support Palestinian statehood or risk demonization by the administration.” This is blackmail; it’s the U.S. seeking to impose its will in defiance of Israel’s elected leader. This strong-armed approach displays a total lack of concern for its people. The January 22, 2024, Harbinger’s Daily update on Israel’s ongoing war contains quotes from the Israeli Prime Minister stating his total disagreement with the Biden administration.He recently rejected the U.S. President’s solution of a non-militarized Palestinian state. In doing so, he said, “I will not compromise on full Israeli security control of all territory west of the Jordan River.” Naivety When one considers the position of the Palestinians, one has to wonder if the Biden administration is naïve or purposely seeking to place the continued existence of Israelin jeopardy. Poll after poll reveals that the Palestinians do not favor a two-state solution. The chants of “from the river to the sea,” which we hear in demonstrations across the world,show their true intent: the total abolition of Israel. The January 22, 2024, Harbinger’s Daily Update quoted Khaled Mashal, a Hamas spokesman, as stating that their goal is the “elimination” of the nation of Israel. Is Biden really so ignorant of their demands as to suppose that giving the Palestinians part of the Land will soothe their murderous hatred of Israel and result in peace?Are those seeking a two-state solution genuinely naïve as to think this is the path to peace when those attacking Israel make it abundantly clear that they seek to wipe Israel off the map? It’s doubtful. Defiance of God Even though the nation of Israel is far from a godly entity at the moment, the Land belongs to God, and He has deeded it to the descendants of Jacob. Although the peacefulenjoyment of the Land has always depended upon the faithfulness of the people, the Lord gave it to them as an “everlasting covenant” (Psalm 105:7-11). Additionally, Scripture makes it clear that He forbids any dividing of the Land, which the world now proposesas the sole path to peace. This is just the beginning of the world’s obsession with Jerusalem and the Land of Israel (see Zechariah 12:1-4). In Joel 3:1-3, the Lord refers to the efforts of the nationsto divide up His Land as a reason for His judgment of them in the final climatic battle, which is likely His destruction of the world’s armies at His Second Coming. God will severely judge those who seek to divide His Land. Thin Ice The Lord has already shown His displeasure with the efforts of America’s presidents to pressure Israel into giving up land in exchange for peace. I have read several correlationsbetween natural disasters striking the U.S. as the result of the U.S. seeking to make such deals between Israel and her enemies. One website list over a dozen occurrences of God displaying His displeasure at the attempts of the American government to facilitate deals that would divide up the Land ofIsrael. In each of the instances, calamities struck somewhere in the U.S. Some claim that these are merely “coincidences,” but it has happened far too many times for it not to be a warning from the Lord. That’s why I say the Biden administration is skating on remarkably thin ice with its devious support of solutions that would endanger the welfare of the people of Israel. I don’t know when the ice will break for the Biden administration or for other nations seeking to enforce the two-state solution upon Israel, but the Bible warns that it mostcertainly will not end well for them. The world’s mindset in regard to Israel signifies the nearness of the seven-year Tribulation, the time of “Jacob’s trouble.” Although the growing betrayal of Israel on thepart of America and other nations troubles us, the Bible stated long ago that this would happen in the last days. It’s a part of God’s plan to bring His people to faith in the true Messiah before He returns to establish His rule in Zion. For us, the world’s increased focus on Israel signals our soon departure from the world.
