PRO:Israel stands alone "If not us... Who? If not now... When?"  by G.M. Bist

   ...quoting a Jewish Sage.

   A SOVEREIGN GOD needs...

   GOD IS SOVEREIGN YET SOMETIMES NEEDS individuals to perform His
Will. In times past God, determined to deliver Israel from her enemies,
still required a Moses, a Joshua, an Esther, a Gideon... GOD PROMISED
THROUGH JEREMIAH THAT ISRAEL shall survive as a people, but yet still
needs human assistance. During the Holocaust some individuals were used
of God to prevent the planned extermination of Israel by her enemies.

   ISRAEL NOW HAS A TERRITORY...

   A STATE. The people have regathered in their own land. The formerly
divided nation is now ONE, just as Hosea prophesied 700 years before
the birth of Jesus Christ. AGAIN GOD HAS REBUKED HER ENEMIES WHO
said..."Come let us cut them off from being a nation so that the name
of Israel may be no more in remembrance." THE WARS FOLLOWING 1948 have
not altered God's faithfulness in defending His Chosen People. THE
RECENT GENEVA ACTIVITIES OF THE U.N. IN WHICH THEY BROUGHT TO A VOTE
THE CONDEMNATION OF ISRAEL, 138 to 2, shows how the world has lined up
against this little nation of only 9800 square miles. Only USA and
Israel voted against the resolution.

   THE USA's SUPPORT EVAPORATED

   THE NEXT day when they disclosed they were about to sit down with
the PLO.. This same PLO whose Covenant (Article 15) "...aims at the
elimination of Zionism (Israel)..." When the USA met with the PLO they
almost immediately agreed that Jerusalem was the crux of the problem.
THUS OVERNIGHT THE WORD OF THE LORD spoken through the prophet
Zechariah, 500 years before Christ, came into focus; "IN THE LAST
DAYS... I WILL GATHER ALL NATIONS TO BATTLE AGAINST....JERUSALEM... I
will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all nations..when they will
be around about her in the seige... I WILL ...DESTROY ALL NATIONS THAT
COME AGAINST JERUSALEM.." Zech. Chpts. 12-14

   As it is written, "And the Redeemer shall come to Zion..."Isa.59:20
"BLOW YE THE TRUMPET IN ZION..sound an alarm in my holy mountain,
tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;"Joel
2:1 "Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD shall preserve thee...Psa. 121:4&7 "I will also gather all
nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and
will plead with them..for Israel, whom they have scattered among the
nations, and parted my land" Joel 3:2 "WHEN THE LORD SHALL BUILD UP
ZION, HE SHALL APPEAR IN HIS GLORY" Psa. 102:16

   This is the Story: HERE ARE THE FACTS!

   ISRAEL NOW STANDS ALONE IN A WORLD HOSTILE TO HER SURVIVAL:

   A WORLD THAT WILL NOT FACE THESE FACTS:

   1) In 1922 the League of Nations gave Britain a "Mandate over
Palestine" to carry out the intent of the 1917 Balfour Declaration,
specifically for "a national homeland for the Jewish people". It was a
Trusteeship YET BRITAIN GAVE 70% of it (all the East Bank) to King
Abdullah for the Palestinian Arabs called, Transjordan, now Jordan.

   2) The Jewish presence was again established in 1947 when the U.N.
"Resolution for the Partition of Palestine" authorized in West
Palestine, in the remaining 30%, a Jewish & an Arab State. (Jerusalem
was to be internationalized). Not wishing to tolerate a Jewish state in
their midst the Arabs rejected the plan...Israel reluctantly accepted
the plan and declared a Jewish state on 14 May 1948.

   3) SEVEN ARAB NATIONS THEN ATTACKED ISRAEL THE FOLLOWING DAY. The
USA disallowed arms shipments forcing Israel to turn to USSR for
supplies. In 1949, against tremendous odds, Israel pushed back her
enemies and the world demanded a cease-fire along the Green Line.

   4) IN 1948 JORDAN ILLEGALLY TOOK JUDEA, SAMARIA & JERUSALEM... AND
EGYPT TOOK THE GAZA STRIP. From '48 to '67 Jordan & Egypt annexed these
areas WITHOUT A WORD OF PROTEST FROM THE WORLD GOVERNMENTS NOR WAS
THERE A CRY "THEN" for another Palestinian state.

   5) IN 1967 FIVE ARAB NATIONS ATTACKED ISRAEL AGAIN...but in the
miracle of the "Six-Day" war Israel, IN DEFENDING HERSELF, captured
Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. Thereby Jews could now
pray at the Western Wall...Jordan had not allowed this. South of Suez
canal the Israel Army surrounded Egypt's Army and defeat was imminent.
The USSR, who supplied Nasser, told USA that she would not tolerate an
Egyptian humiliation...thereby the USA forced Israel to withdraw from
Egypt. ONLY AFTER THE ISRAEL VICTORY DID THE CRIES GO UP "FOR A
PALESTINIAN STATE"...since then the world has been bombarded with false
propaganda and allegations that Israel is illegally in the land. Even
Canada and the USA officially require of Israel that she withdraw to
pre '67' borders, i.e., the Green Line. PLEASE NOTE WELL THAT NO
SOVEREIGN STATE HAS EVER EXISTED IN PALESTINE SINCE 70 A.D. Should
Israel withdraw to pre '67' lines she would be so small she'd be unable
to manoeuver or stop her enemies; in one area she'd be only nine miles
wide.

   ATTENTION: THIS IS THE "REAL" PLO TWO-PRONGED ATTACK ON ISRAEL Phase
one: Through the U.N., negotiate Israel into the untenable position of
surrendering the West Bank, Jerusalem & Gaza Strip.

   Phase two: Then after a respite, very brief, to attack militarily,
with all it's allies, from the North, East, South.

   ALL THE ABOVE IS EXACTLY AS THE PROPHECIES FORETOLD IN THE HOLY
SCRIPTURES. Nevertheless man's human efforts will come to naught. Jesus
said, "I have come that you may have life and that you may have it more
abundantly." Which means God has a plan for your life and for the lives
of nations as well, especially Israel. GOD IS HOLY, LOVING AND JUST.
GOD HAS A RESERVED SIGN ON ISRAEL. God has said to the nations, "Touch
not mine annointed...Touch not the apple of mine eye." THIS JERUSALEM
IS THE ANCIENT CAPITAL CITY OF MELCHIZEDEK, KING OF SALEM, CITY OF KING
DAVID. This is where Zechariah the prophet says of Jesus the Messiah,
the Christ, "Then shall the LORD go forth and fight against the
nations...in the day of battle..and his feet shall stand in that day
upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east..."
Jesus Himself said, "Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God,
believe also in me..." Jn. 14:1 "I am the root and offspring of David,
and the bright and morning star. Surely I come quickly." Rev. 22:16, 20

   REMEMBER GOD NEVER CANCELLED HIS PROMISE TO ABRAM (ISRAEL)

   Genesis 12:3 when He said: "I will bless them that bless thee and
curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall the families of the
earth be blessed."

   GOD PROMISED TO REGATHER ISRAEL FROM THE FAR CORNERS OF THE EARTH

   Ezek. Ch 36, 37: in May 1948 He fulfilled His Promise. GOD IS
FAITHFUL, JUST AND ABLE. God never breaks His Promise. HE WILL PROTECT
ISRAEL.. but He needs individuals to make His Will known...

   PLEASE BE URGED NOT TO REMAIN SILENT about the injustice to Israel
and her scriptural claims, and her legal human claims, to nationhood.
And may individual Christians be reminded that TOGETHER, WE WHO KNOW
OUR SCRIPTURES, AND OUR GOD, CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE by supporting Israel
in prayer, words, actions, and our deeds, saying from the depths of our
hearts; "ISRAEL YOU ARE NOT ALONE !!!"

   "The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David is with you, and so are
we!"

   "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye tenderly
to Jerusalem... her warfare is accomplished...The grass withereth...the
flower fadeth, but the word of our God shall stand forever." Isaiah
40:1, 2,8...

   THE WAY TO HEAVEN...!

   IS THROUGH (YESHUA) "JESUS" TO THE FATHER

   1) Jesus the CHRIST, the MESSIAH, came through the seed of Abraham,
Issac, Jacob, and David to Jesus...as the Holy Scriptures truly
foretold.

   2) Jesus is the REDEEMER and the SAVIOUR spoken of by Isaiah and
other prophets.

   3) GOD IS HOLY and man is a sinner. "But we are all as an unclean
thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do
fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
Isa.64:6 "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Rom 3:23

   4) GOD SENT HIS SON "For God so loved the world that he gave his
only begotten son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but
have everlasting life." Jn 3:16 "God commendeth his love toward us, in
that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. " Rom 5:8

   5) CHRIST IS THE LAMB SLAIN FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD. We are
"redeemed by the blood... which taketh away the sins of the world".
Leviticus 17:11 1 Pet. 1:18, 19 Rev. 5:9

   6) Jesus is knocking at the door of Your heart. He is the Good
Shepherd, the Redeemer, the Saviour. WHY NOT INVITE HIM INTO YOUR HEART
TODAY?

   PRAYER

   Dear LORD Jesus, I admit I am a sinner and ask You to come into my
heart and forgive me. I now receive You as Saviour and trust in You
alone to save me, making You LORD in my life. Thank You LORD Jesus.

   ASSURANCE

   "But to as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the
sons of God, even to them that believe on his name; which were
born...not of blood, nor the will of the flesh..but of God". John 1:12,
13
