Israel is a Miracle Under Assault

Israel is what they say does not exist — a miracle.Since its official establishment in 1948, modern Israel has existed under duress. Its strength has waxed, waned, then waxed again repeatedly. It began as a miracle and continues as an ongoing miracle. So, to those who don’t believe in miracles, Israel makes no sense. They repeatedly try to “help” in ways that can only hurt.Round after round of peace talks fail, yet the nation persists. Wave after wave of violence strikes at it, yet Israel survives. More than that, Israel prospers. Even Israelis struggle to understand. How could this happen?The answer is simple. God keeps His Word. God made certain unconditional covenants with Abraham and his descendents through his son Isaac and grandson Jacob. These covenants promised that God would make them His nation forever, and that a very specific piece of real estate was given to them forever. Although God predicted that they would stray from Him so that He would have to discipline them, He nevertheless swore that He would bring them back and fulfill all His promises to them. He also promised that though He would discipline them Himself, He would judge everyone who persecuted them. He also promised that He would bless all who would bless them. And that even if they would be under His discipline, He would curse all who mistreated them. What the unbelieving people of the world fail to understand is that God has consistently fulfilled these covenant-promises all through history.August 23, 1992......Talks resumed for Israeal to surrender land for peace. Within 24 hours, Hurrican Andrew slammed the US with a cost of 30 billion dollarsApril 27-Sept. 13, 1993.....Israel and the PLO work on and sign a compromise peace agreement in Washington D.C.. During this period, the USA was hit with the most widespread and devestating flooding in it's history, costing 21 billion dollars.August 25-Sept. 10, 2001......Just before plans pushed by the USA for the most comprehensive peace plan ever between Arabia and Israel. the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were attacked on 9/11/2001. Another land for peace deal pressured by the USA is met by a national catastrophe. The immediate cost was 40 billion dollars, the cost of the economic impact was far greater.Nov. 7-12, 2002.....During Ramadan, President Bush hosted a dinner to honor Islam and the "revelation of God's word in the holy Koran". When US officials flew to pressure Israel, 88 out of season tornadoes hit 7 states.Aug 28, 2005.....While the Jews dug up their dead in Gaze to re-bury them in new cemeteries after the US pressured Israel into evacuating Gaza, President Bush applauded the dividing of God's land. Hurricane Katrina formed as a tropical depression the very next day, becoming the largest disaster in US history as it devestated New Orleans, drove 1 million people from their homes, and cost the USA close to 200 billion dollars.Does anybody see a pattern? God protects Israel, and is warning the USA to stop pressuring Israel into compromises that weaken it amidst it's enemies.Thanks to Jack T. Chick for the recent historical references......easily documented by many sources. I watched these events unfold on the national news.
