Who or What?

I suppose many people have thought about what it would be like to be standing at the end of the world when violence breaks out on every side and pestilence is rampant. I for one, never dreamed that the end time pestilence would be man-made and that the cure could be worse than the disease.

As a child, I read my Bible about families breaking up and knew that there would be separation of best friends in the end times. Bible prophecies given thousands of years ago about the Final Redemption and the fulfillment of the Eternal Covenant that God made with Abraham, Isaac and Yaacov are standing ready to be fulfilled but somehow go unrecognized to the average world-ling of our day.

Of course no one would expect that atheists and idolaters would even acknowledge the Eternal Covenant between God, the Children of Israel and the Holy Land.

The world spins its story but that story is based on anything but truth. Only the Almighty Redeemer of the faithful will be able to demonstrate to the blinded eyes of this generation what is the truth about His promises.

Anyone who has an ounce of faith in God, knows that He is just and dependable to keep His Word even when all nations desecrate his Holy Times and Places and deny His Existence. The fact that people do not believe in Him does not limit His ability to perform that which He has promised.

And even though those who may be rightful heirs to the Land do evil, the land still belongs to Hashem and will not be given to idolaters or those who blaspheme His Name. He knows who belongs to the righteous remnant who keep their part of the bargain.

The nations imbibe the poison as they listen to the nightly news commentators and their godless theories about Israel’s unjust treatment of those who have sworn to wipe the people of Israel off the face of the earth.

According to Daniel’s prophecy, all nations will soon surround this little country, but at that time a mighty Deliverer will arise and God himself will unleash his wrath. (See Daniel 12) It will be a fearsome time for those who scoff and rise to destroy all that is God’s.

In the meantime, those of us with even a tiny bit of faith will hold our breath as we see events unfold before our eyes. It seems these events are happening with lightening speed. As we see everything setting up to cut off our livelihood, our ability to travel, our closest family ties, and our very lives, we will either succumb to the pressure to give in to the demands of the nations, or we will hold ever more tightly to Hashem.

The land of Israel trembles and many cry out for deliverance. Some realize the vanity of looking to governments or politicians or God forbid, corrupt allies, and cast their eyes heavenward. The only one to trust is the Almighty who once at the beginning created all things for our good and Who keeps His Covenant, ultimately ending all wars to save his faithful people.
