PRAY ON TUESDAY
There is an outrageous attack on Israel and America taking place by Arab Terrorists right before our eyes, and not many Christians are aware of it.
This Tuesday, in Anapolis a meeting of Palestinian, Israeli, and other Arab interests, along with US and other authorities will take place in order to further slice Israel out of their rightful land. Now, every time the US has meddled with Israel to get them to concede land to the Palestinians, a Katrina, a 9/11, floods, mass murders, other natural disasters have occured. Every TIME dear friends! Check it out. If America gets involved with this program, expect to see something major happen to the US soon afterward.
Basically the bottom line is that the Palestinian Authority wants Israel to return to the pre 1967 borders, but also many of the holy sites in Jerusalem will be taken by the people who want nothing but death to Americans and Jews. This means all of East Jerusalem - which is more than the 1967 borders will go under Palestinian authority. When Bethlehem was given over to PA it was 85% christian. Two years ago it was 15%, and today it is less than 5%. Bethlehem is a ghost town, and it is so dangerous to venture there that tours are rare.
They would also take over the Garden Tomb, which fits some descriptions of Golgotha. Also the Pool of Bethesda, the Via Dolorosa, The Upper Room, The Eastern Gate (or Golden Gate) where Jews say the Messiah will return; The house of Caiaphus (where Peter denied Jesus), the Garden of Gethsemene, the Mount of Olives, and the Mount of Ascension. Not only are these precious historical and religious sites, they are also places that millions of tourists and pilgrims visit each year, and with one sweep of a pen they could become unavailable to both Christian and Jew alike.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Pray, Pray Pray. Especially on Tuesday - that the Lord would confound the enemy. My wife had an interesting thought the other night in which the story from 1 Samuel 6 and 7 came into play:
“When the Philistines heard that Israel had assembled at Mizpah, the rulers of the Philistines came up to attack them. And when the Israelites heard of it, they were afraid because of the Philistines. They said to Samuel, “Do not stop crying out to the LORD our God for us, that he may rescue us from the hand of the Philistines.” Then Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it up as a whole burnt offering to the LORD . He cried out to the LORD on Israel’s behalf, and the LORD answered him. While Samuel was sacrificing the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to engage Israel in battle. But that day the LORD thundered with loud thunder against the Philistines and threw them into such a panic that they were routed before the Israelites.”
1 Samuel 7:7-10 NIV
By Samuel’s act of worship, and the repentant hearts of the Israelites (Read the rest of the context to see the whole story) The Lord thundered, and the enemy was routed.
Please pray, and if the Lord leads you to fast on Tuesday, that would be a great idea as well. Pray that the enemy will be confounded, by God’s thunder, and that the American authorities will have the sense to see that this is also an attack on the US. I would bet that anyone, including the Palestinians, with a sensible mind would see the corelation between the attitude of the US regarding Israel, and the natural or manmade disasters which happen immediately afterward. Perhaps the Palestinians know something the Liberals do not manage to see, and they see this as another way to weaken further the US.
