Israel

For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the people who are on the face of the earth (Deu 7:6)

Israel is God's chosen people (Deu 7:6), those that try to destroy Israel, God will curse (Gen 12:3) Every nation that has tried to destroy Israel (the jews) has itself been destroyed, look at ancient Egypt, nazi Germany. For he who touches you, touches the apple of His eye (Zech 2:8) Indeed, God is called the God of Israel over 200 times in the bible, no other people group has this honour.

The Jews return to Israel

Also, I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the lands. According to their ways and their deeds I judged them. (Ezekiel 36:19)

This was fulfilled in AD70 when the Jewish temple was destroyed and jews emigrated from Israel. The jews were scattered far and wide throughout the nations for centuries, it wasn't until the 1800's that the Jews began to return to Israel. This was also foretold in the bible;

And I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among then nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Lord God

and

And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. (Ezekiel 34:13)

In 1948 this amazing prophecy was fulfilled. This is surely proof of the bible's divine inspiration.

Book - Judgement Day!Book - Judgement Day! by Dave Hunt

Why can't the Jews see that Jesus is the Messiah?

He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him (John 1:11)

Read the eleventh chapter of Paul's letter to the Romans.

It is because of Israel's unbelief that salvation has come to the gentiles, to make Israel jealous. We have been shown mercy because of their disobedience. Some of them have been cut off because of their unbelief, through faith we have been grafted in. And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again.

I thank God that I know the truth that Jesus is the Christ, but why cant Israel see it?

(Rom 11:25) For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery, lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fulness of the Gentiles has come in.

Israel, Islam and peace

Why is it that the middle east is such a war zone? What is the driving force behind these conflicts between Israel and her neighbours? To get the right answers you have to ask the right questions.

What is the common factor that these countries share who want Israel destroyed? What unites these people in their hatred for Israel? They are all muslims, they are all followers of Islam. The quran is the holy book for muslims, so what does it say about the jews...

The last day will not come until the muslims confront the jews and the muslims destroy them. In that day Allah will give a voice to the rocks and the trees and they will cry out, 'O muslim, O Abdullah, there is a jew hiding behind me, come and kill him!"

There is not an arab / muslim map of the world that shows the state of Israel. If the muslims put down their weapons today, there would be an end to the fighting. If Israel put down her weapons, Islamic countries wouldn't hesitate to wipe her off the map!

That is why there cannot be peace in the middle east. Islam cannot tolerate the jews even existing.
