BULLETIN TWENTY TWO
THIS WORLD HAS ITS SPIRITUAL FLAG FURLED,
AND THOSE WHO FOLLOW IT ASK FOR INTERMENT
Why is the nation Israel
Demonised ?
Slandered ?
Made subject to oil requirements
(as by British Foreign Minister, Bevan*1 after World War II,
deeming it necessary for oil purposes
not to offend Arab nations) ?Blamed for Middle Eastern wars, whereas in 1947
the more monopolistic regimes would not accept a UN
peace move, making Jerusalem an international city, and giving to Israel only separated bits of the Palestine promised
by Britain,
but largely given away and denied her:
while Israel was willing
to accept this plan!Accused of intransigence when it not only gave back Gaza, but Sinai also to its active enemies, both gained after winning a war to exterminate it, one in which Israel took these territories, the former then used to blast it, the donor, indiscriminately
with vast rocket attacks ?Denounced when it responded actively
in well-organised defence against those openly
dedicated to genocide against it ?Expected to negotiate with those determined that it should not exist, even with some alight with declared genocidal intent, as far as the nation was concerned ?
Ordered to stop settlement in the Capital it won back
when threatened or assaulted in 1948 and 1967,
as if the biblical prophecies of Zechariah 12
were to be undone, whereas they were applied precisely
in this series of staggering victories against many,
(including 1973) for the usurped
homeland of 1917 ?Exposed by a US President, who having strongly urged it not
to destroy the nuclear preparations of genocidally inclined
Iran, declaring the USA would look after it, then joined Iran, deadly enemy, in a military alliance ?Assailed by a UN which yet seeks to grab more of its
ludicrously little territory (compared with former 'Palestine'),
that left even after the betrayal
of the Homeland assignment ?Degraded by an anti-Semitic war, waged by those wearing
labelled angelic clothes, even as they seek not merely to kill Israelis, but to ruin even their commercial enterprise ?It is time Australia, in particular, recovered yet more of its earlier realism,
instead of playing with gender,
while selling operation of crucial functions
to governments or their agencies,
both hostile to democracy and
seeking their own expanding rule in this world!Threaten to exterminate a nation and it is always possible that
it will take action to defend itself. There is neither need nor right
in making the UN a new seat of government to a new order
of concentration camp for a surrounded Israel, glared at by those
implacable, unyielding, with many hostile votes
and but one sure for Israel.
There is no need to be surprised that this nation looks to realistic
defence rather than ruin, in the site of its thousand year occupancy.
Is there need to add to many nations raining ruin on it,
a further denunciation and dictatorship, by an international consortium of nations, even to heighten the bullying ?God in the Bible, is also involved, and so far EVERY detail in order, is being fulfilled in the vast coverage of the history of Israel therein
contained, along with God's plans for the Gentile nations (see Matthew 24, Revelation 19, Micah 7, Jeremiah 16:19-20 for example).Unbelief contrary to evidence, does not depose God
nor cancel His word.
Continued ignoring of the creation of the world and its conditions,
and need of and provision for salvation from its wickedness,
does nothing to God, though it may grieve Him;
but it will do much to those
whose discriminatory dynamic against Israel,
as likewise against the Christ of God,
makes for a coming direct confrontation with the One
who speaks unfailingly.His assigned land is given by appointment to Israel, a nation which was predicted to be exiled for spiritual failure (cf. Micah 5:1-3), but whose conversion to Jesus Christ is also predicted (Zechariah 12:10), and restoration likewise (Ezekiel 36-39, Jeremiah 30-33, Luke 21:24 cf. the Five Volume work, ISRAEL).
NOTES
*1 The British Foreign Minister, Bevan, spoke of the "grave risk in alienating Arabs ". How might this be done ? It could occur by their appearing to ... "endorse the Jewish aspiration for a separate State." They did not then endorse it, though the Balfour Declaration of 1917 on behalf of Britain, instituted Palestine, then under their care, as a homeland designate for Israel. This was later internationally confirmed by the victorious nations.
