Patriotic Nation: Defense of Israel

Defense of Israel

Just because someone is a patriot, and loves their nation does not mean that they remain silent concerning his/her nation's faults. You have noticed some of them haven't you? Maybe I stand a little bit on the negative side at times, but I refuse to be a blind loyalist to my nation and not speak when I see a problem, a sin, or an issue of foreign policy.

I have been ignorant concerning our nation's DEFENSE OF ISRAEL. I have gone through years believing that our nation has always been somewhat supportive of Israel, and just recently find out that that is not true.

To my shock and dismay I discover that when Israel was striving to become a nation back in 1948 the USA was not a supporter. Rather stood in stark opposition against it. Believe it or not Russia was a supplier of arms to the new nation. And our nation refused arms to them to help them fight off those who were opposed.

Sometimes I am not so sure that our nation is supportive of Israel being an independent, growing nation. Israel had lands, and it was our Secretary of State and others who have convinced them to pull out and give those lands back to the Palestinians. Are we being supportive when we threaten to withdraw support if they do not give up their land?

The leadership of Israel has "bent over backwards" for peace. We should applaud them for that. At what price though have they done this. There is one thing, that I know for sure, and that is; if we - meaning the nation of the USA - do not grow more supportive or Israel and convince them to keep their lands, and surrender nothing, then we may just start losing more and more of our freedoms. We have already lost many of them.

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD." Yes. God says also, "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed"

Are we defending Israel when we keep convincing them to give up land? Not at all. We are driving them right out into the Mediterranean Sea. However, I do have it on good Authority that the Nation of Israel will be preserved by a greater power than the USA. For that I am grateful.

Tim said...: Wow, that is so true. We should support our country, although we have faults. And I find it so weird that so many people do not support Israel (for reasons yet unexplained). Thanks.; June 7, 2007 at 11:09 PM

Thanks for your comment. Our Nation must be a defense for Israel or we run against our Creator.
Thanks again.; June 8, 2007 at 7:01 AM

Revival for Our Nation

The Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23). The glory of God was the reason for our creation. When Adam and Eve sinned in the garden of Eden it passed on to their children, and that is you and me. We also read in the pages of the Bible [God’s Word] that, “There is none righteous, no, not one”. (Romans 3:10). Righteousness is simply being right with God. Because we are sinners, yet God - who is holy loved us - sent His Son Jesus to die for our sins. The Just One [Jesus Christ] for the unjust [You and I]. “But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8). Here is the gospel of Jesus Christ; “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures; and that He was seen of Cephas [Peter], then of the twelve: After that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep [are with Christ]. After that, He was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all He was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10). “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). BE SAVED TODAY.
