Birth Pangs - The Land

Do u know whats all the fuss about in the Middle East today?

Why are the Islamic terrorists committing suicide bombing in the Israeli cities? Why is Hamas firing their Kassam rockets DAILY into Israel?

Why did Egypt, Syria, Jordan & some other Arab nations invade Israel multiple times over the past 60 years?

Why?

Well, u see, initially, the Arabs simply wanted to drive the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea. But they kept on losing...not just the war but also their land!!!

With their noses bleeding and realizing they couldn't drive Israel out with conventional warfares, they changed their strategy. And with a twist of evil genius, they re-brand the war effort into a struggle for the establishment of Palestinian Statehood! They sanctified terrorist acts into holy sacrifices for the liberation of "occupied territories"!

Late Arafat, from a cold blooded terrorist head became a nationalist hero!!!

Well, lets start from the beginning...


After WWI, the above was supposedly the land given to the Jews for the building of the State of Israel under the British Mandate approved by the League of Nations.


But cuz of much complain by the Arabs, a huge chunk was decided to be taken out for the Palestinian people... Yes, that's right!!! Most people didn't realise the world HAS ALREADY given a BIG piece of land for the Palestinian people - modern day Jordan!

Btw, there never was a "Palestinian" people or nation. Palestinians are simply Arabs.


And by the time the State of Israel actually came to be... only the CYAN color above were Israeli lands!!! And yet the Arabs were still NOT HAPPY!

With all these scheming and division over the lands by the Arabs & the nations in the early years, does the Bible have anything to say? Amazingly, in the book of Ezekiel, God was talking to the Mountains of Israel:

O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD... because the enemy has spoken against you, 'Aha!' and, 'The everlasting heights have become our possession,'... that you should become a possession of the rest of the nations and you have been taken up in the talk and the whispering of the people... I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all of Edom, who appropriated My land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and with scorn of soul... (Ezekiel 36:1-3,5)

God already knew 2500 years ago.
