How do a group of people, exert an overarching influence over the morality of the world in order to gather the support necessary to steal a country from its ancient owners? Obviously, there must have been powerful factions with their own agendas that collectively brought it about. The Zionist lobby and their erstwhile ally, Christian Zionism is the best short answer. Collectively, they exerted influence in all the right quarters to bring the United Nations to a day, when they would consider it a reasonable decision to divide the holy land up between the Jews and the Arabs. The resolution was never accepted but the Zionists in Palestine went ahead anyway, and by violence and terror, slaughtered and evicted over 700,000 Palestinians to establish a nation they now call Israel.
In observing this for over a half a century of my lifetime, it’s occurred to me that there are facts available that if carefully exposed would vaporize the Zionist support, at least among thinking peoples.
First of all, throughout the West, everybody knows that the Jews are the people of the
Christian Bible. The story of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their progeny is well known to Jews, Christians and Muslims throughout the world. As the story goes, the Jewish nation was founded when God himself spoke with Abraham and told him that the people who would descend from him would be as numerous as the sand on the seashore. He also told him that a Redeemer / King would be among them - a Saviour that would fulfil the promise made to Adam in the garden, that the Enemy of man, the Devil, would one day be destroyed.
The story of the Jews' relationship to God unfolds progressively throughout the Old Testament showing how the Almighty watched them multiply into a million strong people who were slaves in Egypt. By divine intervention, and through his servant Moses, He brought them out of Egypt, through the Red Sea and to the foot of Mount Horeb, where he gave them the 10 Commandments and the ceremonial law. They were indeed a special people set apart for some purpose yet unknown to the world. But the world around them knew all about the miracles and the deliverances the Hebrews had experienced. The intelligent among them feared the Hebrew’s God.
In all of this miraculous history, God made promises to His people----Conditional promises.
Abraham and the spiritual remnant among the Hebrews knew the answer. There was a transition inherent in the promise to the church of the Old Testament which they understood. The promise of an earthly land, based on conditional obedience would be fulfilled eternally for the church in the glory of an eternal land- the new heavens and new earth yet to come. The majority of the Jews in the temporal land would fail the obedience test and forfeit the earthly promise of the eternal. When one understands this, the promises of the Old Testament can indeed be conditional in this earthly life and eternal in the life to come. To qualify, you have to find yourself by faith, part of the spiritual remnant.
That said, the Hebrews of the Old Testament had the blessing of God in their midst. He appeared to them regularly in the tabernacle worship. He supplied their food and clothes. He interceded for them constantly when faced with enemies. But the record shows that they constantly rebelled. In God’s very presence and with all of the historical evidence continually rehearsed in their ears, they rebelled against God and forfeited the conditional earthly blessings He had promised.
I submit that this was Gods plan, not that he willed their rebellion, for God cannot will evil. Rather He allowed their fallen nature to work the rebellion that is resident in the human heart. For 1400 years, He stayed with his earthly people and his church- the faithful remnant among them- constantly correcting them, forgiving them and restoring them, until it was clear to all the world, that even with God's very presence among them, they could NOT keep the 10 Commandments. Their very nature (ours too) was incapable. As the writer to the Ephesians says, they were "dead in trespasses and sins".
So God remained silent for 400 years. But at the precise moment of history, He sent the Lord Jesus Christ to become the final sacrifice that would suffer the penalty for His church, past present and future. He even permitted his earthly people, the carnal Jews, to be the instrument that would put the God-Man to death - the final blasphemous act that would prove to the world that no people, no matter how privileged could, on their own escape the death sentence inherent in their human nature.
The Law cannot be kept by anyone, and that irrefutable fact, drives all mankind ultimately to the cross and the Lord Jesus Christ. Galatians 5:22.
A few years later, in 70 AD, all the prefigurements of the ceremonial law were ended with the destruction of the temple and the scattering of the people. The two purposes for the existence of the temporal Nation of Israel were at an end.
Postscript : so what is this impostor Israel doing in the land that was once promised conditionally to Abraham’s natural seed? They are a deceptive fiction, skilfully introduced by the Devil to create war and turmoil in preparation for the final act of mans rebellion against God - the New World Order.
