A Jewish Homeland By: David Ben-Ariel

Did God condemn the Jews to wander until Messiah comes but blessed every other
tribe of Israel with a national inheritance? Does that make sense? Is God fair? Is

User? The United States and Britain in Prophecy, that Israel's punishment was to last for
2,520 years (Lev. 26:21)?

After that time, around A.D. 1800, because of ABRAHAM'S OBEDIENCE, God
decreed that He would bestow His blessings. Did that 2,520 years of punishment

seed of holy imagination in Judah's mind.

Later, during the British Mandate, the British began to "look favorably" upon the
establishment of an independent Jewish Homeland, watering that holy seed. The
Balfour Declaration was part of a divine mandate to restore Judah to "Palestine" (a
Submit Satanic word the Romans used in an evil attempt to erase our father Israel's name off
the map - Ps. 83:4).

God utilized political Zionism for His purposes, just as He utilized America's
rebellion against the English throne. On the surface, neither were so special or
righteous, but both were instrumental in fulfilling prophecy.

As for the treatment of the former inhabitants of the lands that God decreed for His
people, whether Arabs or Indians, I'm sure the Canaanites would offer scathing
condemnation but others would see God's purpose being worked out, however
imperfectly to limited human vision. God addresses any injustices in His own way
and time (2 Sam. 21:1-14), but dismisses those charges that exaggerate or exploit
them to deny our basic biblical right to the lands He has chosen for us (Acts 17:26).

As the Greeks are representative of all Gentiles, so the Jews are representative of all
Israel. It is to Israel, specifically to the Jews, that God has committed the "oracles of
God" (Rom. 3:2). The oracles of God includes the DIVINE COVENANTS AND
PROMISES (Rom. 9:4-5). The Jews hold, in trust, the Biblical land deed/covenant to
the Holy Land for all Twelve Tribes!
GOD MADE A LAND-COVENANT WITH ISRAEL (Gen. 12:7; 13:15; 15:18;
17:8; 26:3; 28:13; 35:12). Not once did God promise the Holy Land to the
"Palestinians" (Philistines) so Bible-believers must reject their illegitimate claims!
Those who attempt to justify foreign occupation of our land or terrible treatment of
our people because of our sins are condemning themselves before God! (Isa. 47:6;
Jer. 50:7; Zech. 1:15).

There are many Scriptures that speak of a REPRESENTATIVE AMOUNT OF

JEWS living in Israel before Christ comes. Shamefully, God's ministers, and
consequently the Church, have often been BLIND to what God is doing in Israel
TODAY. We've failed to see the wonders that God has wrought, the TYPES that
foretell of greater things to come!

We've been ignorant of the biblical principle of DUALITY and have nit-picked the
prophecies demanding all or nothing! With that limited vision we would've argued
with Peter on Pentecost/Shavuot about Joel's prophecy being fulfilled! However, it
certainly was - IN PART! (Acts 2:16-21).

Consider the following:

God promised to "save Zion, and build the cities of Judah" (Ps. 69:35). (He doesn't
refer to them as "Palestinian" cities!) God has faithfully done that by rewarding
Jewish efforts (Annuit Coeptus) and respecting their blood, sweat and tears! (Isa.
61:4; Ps. 102:13-14). God has used the Jews to make the desert blossom as the rose
and protected them during this conversion process, just as Moses requested (Deut.
33:7).

I praise God for having blessed me to have lived in eight kibbutzim (collective-
farms)throughout Israel that have helped to fulfill these pioneer prophecies!

God clearly prophesied through Zechariah chapters 12-14 that the Jews would
AGAIN be living in their ancient capital of JERUSALEM, with their own rulers, and
that the "United Nations" would oppose them and ultimately be defeated. Zechariah
also shows the long-awaited recognition of Jesus by the Jews as God's Son and
Judah's Firstborn and the heartfelt repentance of the political (House of David) and
religious (House of Levi) establishment. In fact, Jesus said that the Jews in Jerusalem
wouldn't see Him again until they had this necessary change of heart (Matt. 23:39).

Zechariah also reveals that the Jews would again be a FORMIDABLE MILITARY
POWER in the Middle East with God working in and through and for them. Many
Israelis KNOW that God has been their true General and performed many miracles
on their behalf. I've heard Gershon Salomon, chairman of the Temple Mount
Faithful, recount his miraculous experience of divine protection on the Golan Heights
many times.

It's important to note that God has inspired the holy prophets to write about real flesh
and blood JEWS living in Israel - not Jewish imposters!

Why? Because those suffering from the sickness of anti-Semitism are out to spread
doubt and confusion about Israel's Jewish identity! They publish slanderous hate
literature attempting to poison minds against the Jews by promoting quack racial
theories and Nazi propaganda.

It's nothing less than Satan's desperate efforts to deny that God has the power to
fulfill prophecy! Bible-believers reject their bitter lies knowing God's Word is true!

Zechariah also agrees with the New Testament prophecies that reveal Jerusalem as a
thriving Jewish city that will suffer under a harsh Gentile occupation just before the
Messiah arrives in time (Rev. 11:2; Zech. 14:2).

Christ will liberate Jerusalem and secure it as His headquarters! Jerusalem, the site of
David's Throne, will be the seat of God's government! Jesus, like the prophet Daniel,
 foresaw that Jewish-Christians would be living and working in a Jewish State.
They'll witness the historic restoration of animal sacrifices and their abrupt cessation
by an evil European force, quickly followed by the "abomination of desolation" that
triggers World War III (Matt. 24:15-16; Dan. 12:11).

Meanwhile, God's Church (or select individuals if the Church continues to shirk its
responsibility) must ANNOUNCE TO THE CITIES OF JUDAH (the prophecy
doesn't refer to them as "Palestinian" cities or "Israeli-occupied") that Messiah's
about to appear! We're to boldly offer Judah the hope and comfort that a TRUE
PEACE is coming and to get ready for it (Isa. 40:1-3). We're to help prepare Israel
for the shock of a GLORIFIED CHRIST REVEALED AT LAST (vs. 5) and lead
them to expect an audience with a DIVINE KING whose ROYAL RADIANCE will
illuminate every nation!

We must identify Yashua (Jesus) as the "Son of Man" from Heaven that Daniel
previewed (Dan. 7:13-14), and stress that Zechariah gave an "eyewitness account" of
this same DIVINE SAVIOR descending from Heaven to reign as LORD from
Jerusalem over the whole earth (Zech. 14:3-4, 9, 16).

Remember this is no small task, and is quite controversial, since the Jews are still
looking forward to a human leader to save them from all their troubles!

The Two Witnesses will be the most influential in reaching the CITIES of Judah
from Jerusalem (Isa. 40:9; 52:7-8), effectively knowing their mindset and culture
(unlike so many others), but God's Church should still do what we can now.

These exciting Scriptures clearly prove (they're not assumptions) that with God
nothing is impossible: the Jews would again be living in an independent Israel,
resurrected from the dust of history just prior to Christ's coming, with Jerusalem as
their capital, complete with an effective fighting force, having been restored to their
ancient cities and energetically transforming the land from barren desert to
productive fields - all with God's blessing! (Ezek. 37:1-14). These Scriptures glorify
God as faithful and we should praise Him that His Word is good and true! Amen.
