God’s Divine Retribution against Those Who Are against Israel

    Excerpts from the Jerusalem Post By EARL COX   April 3, 2014 

    A group of Israeli rabbis has issued an open letter warning that the United States Secretary of State John Kerry’s reckless peace efforts, if they should come to fruition, “will result in divine retribution” against those involved.  Kerry’s “incessant efforts to expropriate integral parts of the Holy Land and hand them over to Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian terrorist gang amounts to a declaration of war against the Creator and Ruler of the universe,” 

   They further stated that if Kerry continues on the path that he is on risks going down in history like Nebuchadnezzar and the Roman Emperor Titus, who “by heavenly punishment brought eventual destruction upon themselves for implementing destructive policies against Israel and the Jews.”

    God has on numerous times in history decided that the actions and deeds of a nation have gone beyond appropriate bounds, and He has definitely intervened with severe judgment.

     God’s judgment has responded to nations that have mistreated Israel and/or the Jewish people.  Look toward Egypt.  They used to be the bright light of the Arab Middle East, but now they are no better than a struggling third world country.  What has happened to the Canaanites, the Philistines, and the other tiny nations that used to occupy the land that God gave to the Jewish people? 

   The proud and powerful Adolph Hitler?  He never made it to a normal death.  However, we have often wondered how and why the nation and people of Germany seemed to escape retribution for their cruel annihilation of six million Jews.  Perhaps it is still ahead of them, perhaps not.  It is in God’s hands and in His plan.  What happened to the great British Empire?  It has fallen far from its lofty position as the greatest empire on the planet.  Certainly God had His hand in all of these judgments.

    Israel’s security depends on Israel’s relationship with God.  America is not the final authority in securing peace for Israel.  Peace is not based on any American or UN conditions or Palestinian promises.  God Almighty determines Israel’s destiny and His Word says that no weapon formed against Israel will prosper.  In fact, God’s Word also says that He will preserve and protect Israel as He destroys her enemies."

    I will add here that members of the U. S. Congress name Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.; Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.; and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. should take heed and learn how God dealt with Israel when she obeyed and when she disobeyed. They should, they must, take heed and learn how God dealt with those who cursed Israel -- "The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you.  I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others.  I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt."  (Genesis 12: 1-3)
