Should Israel give land for peace? Read the following Shepherd to Sheep:
ISRAEL
"And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. {8} "Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God." (Genesis 17:7‑8)
It seems like as long as we can remember Israel has had a struggle with her neighbors and with the Palestinians. Since it became a nation once again in 1948 there have been wars and conflicts and struggles and contentions. Such a small nation and we wonder what’s all the fuss about? Why can’t there be peace in the Middle East? Why all the fightings about this small piece of real estate? Who’s land is it supposed to be anyway?
The Lord told Abraham that He would make an everlasting covenant with Israel and that He would give the land of Canaan as an everlasting possession to them. (Let’s not forget this was around 2,000 B.C.!) God has not forgotten His people. It was prophesied that God wou
ld bring them back into the land in the last days (Ezekiel 36-37). This would be in preparation to fulfilling His covenant with them (Romans 9-11). You see Israel rejected the Messiah and the kingdom of God never was ushered in. Since that point of rejection it has been the time of the Gentiles where the nations have been presented the gospel and are being brought into the kingdom of God (Mat. 16:18; 28:18-20). But after the Rapture of the Church, God will begin working with Israel again. Many will come to Christ during the Tribulation and leading up to Christ’s Second Coming (Rev. 7; Zech. 12:10). Then the 1,000 year millennial reign will be ushered in where Christ will rule over all! (Rev. 20)
When the terrorists hit us on 9-11, we saw news reports of the Palestinians dancing in the streets because of our dead. Have we forgotten that these terrorists want the complete annihilation of Israel and will attack anyone who will support her? Satan has always had it in for God’s people. He hates God and he hates God’s people. He knows if he can hurt God’s people, He can get back at God. So all throughout history there has been attempts to wipe God’s people out. We remember Pharaoh’s killing of the Hebrew boys (Exodus 1) and Haman’s attempt at a pogrom against the Jews in the book of Esther. Herod tried to slay the Christ Child (Mat. 2:16). Study history and you will see the persecution of the Jews throughout. And how could we forget the Holocaust of WWII? But God has always preserved His people! From them ca
me Christ our Lord! The Jews are God’s people and God has made an everlasting covenant with them and has given them the land as an everlasting possession. And the nation that supports Israel be blessed!
(Gen 12:3) 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."
(Psa 122:6) Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May they prosper who love you.

Obama has the most Catholic administration in USA history. Vatican Osservatore Romano editor Vian said on may 18th that Obama "in not a pro-abortion president." What does this prove? That the Vatican message on abortion has only been for politcal purposes. It was used to divide, to encourage Catholics to breed and to encourage non-Catholics to abort out of spite. The Vatican likes the abortion status quo in the USA for this reason. Their purpose is only conquest, not faith. Carolignian Brzezinski spawned Zia al Haq, Khomeini, and bin Laden - breaks up superpowers via Aztlan and Kosovo as per Joel Garreau's Nine Nations. Brzezinski, Buckley and Buchanan winked anti-Semitic votes for Obama, delivered USA to Pope's feudal basket of Bamana Republics. Michael Pfleger and Joe Biden prove Obama is the Pope's boy. Obama is half a Kearney from County Offaly in Ireland. Talal got Pontifical medal as Fatima mandates Catholic-Muslim union against Jews (Francis Johnson, Great Sign, 1979, p. 126), Catholic Roger Taney wrote Dred Scott decision. John Wilkes Booth, Tammany Hall and Joe McCarthy were Catholics. Now Catholic majority Supreme Court. Catholics Palmisano, Grasso, Damato, Langone, Dioguardi, Palmieri destroyed American industry. Subprime construction mobsters had hookers deliver mortgages to banks. McCain's Keeting started it all. They find American cars too advanced to use or their mechanics to fix. Their slovenly, anti-intellectual work ethic produces vacuous, casuistrous blather and a tangle of contradictory regulations. NYC top drop outs: Hispanic 32%, Black 25%, Italian 20%. NYC top illegals: Ecuadorean, Italian, Polish. Ate glis-glis but blamed plague on others, now lettuce coli. Their bigotry most encouraged terror yet they reap most security funds. Rabbi circumcises lower, Pope upper brain. Tort explosion by glib casuistry. Hollywood Joe Kennedy had Bing Crosby proselytise. Bazelya 1992 case proves PLO-IRA-KLA links. Our enemy is the
