THE GREATER ISRAEL

NETANYAHU CALLS OUT TEAM OBAMA AND SAYS ISRAEL WILL NEVER GIVE UP THE WEST BANK

 

“At present we have a problem with the territory called Gaza,” the prime minister said. But he noted that the West Bank is 20 times the size of Gaza, and vowed that he was not prepared “to create another 20 Gazas” in the West Bank.

CITING JOHN KERRY BY NAME, PM NETANYAHU SAYS HE KNOWS BEST ABOUT KEEPING ISRAEL SAFE, AND WON’T ALLOW WEST BANK TO BECOME ‘ANOTHER 20 GAZAS’

[Isaiah 61:1] For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet, until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, and her salvation like a torch that is burning [NASB].

On the fourth day of Operation Protective Edge, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a strong and sternly open rebuke to John Kerry, Barack Obama, and any one else who would seek to pressure Israel to relinquish control over the West Bank.

“I think the Israeli people understand now what I always say: that there cannot be a situation, under any agreement, in which we relinquish security control of the territory west of the River Jordan” — a reference to the Jordan Valley and the West Bank — as Kerry had urged during a US-led peace effort that collapsed in April.

Citing by name both Kerry and the US security adviser Gen. John Allen, who was charged by the secretary of state to draw up security proposals that the US argued could enable Israel to withdraw from most of the West Bank, including the Jordan Valley, Netanyahu said passionately, “I told John Kerry and General Allen, the Americans’ expert: We live here, I live here, I know what we need to ensure the security of Israel’s people.”

“Adjacent territory has huge importance,” Netanyahu said, and could be used by terrorists to dig tunnels and to fire rockets. The closer terrorists can get to Israel’s borders, he said, the more rockets they fire — as the current conflict was proving.

ISRAEL & JEWS IN THE BIBLE

Whether indeed Netanyahu said what he said or not, according to the Bible and its writer, God, there is no way that the Philistines or Canaanites will ever possess the Promised Land. The Land belongs to the Jewish survivors (mostly from Judah for Judah went to Babylon, by which time Israel was already dispersed; and when Judah returned to Jerusalem they came as Jews. During their absence Arabs moved in and that's when we come upon the first mentioning of Arabs in the Bible).   

Note: The word Arab comes from Aravah, desolation and wilderness.

Jews returned from Hitler's Holocaust and then established Kibbutzeem (collective farming), drained the swamps, planted trees and made the desert bloom again.  The British left then came the UN partition after which came the proclamation "The State of Israel is Born."  

At the point of giving Gaza to the Palestinians Israel started to run a test. Obviously Hamas, which won the elections by popular vote and now, united with Fatah, will never give up their struggle against the "occupiers of their land Palestine." 

When Saddam Hussein bombed Israel with his SCUD missiles the Palestinians rejoiced. Now they rejoice that Hamas keeps on firing thousands of rockets and longer range missiles terrorizing Israel; for that is all they know, terror.  They rejoice even though their houses are leveled with hundreds dead. They don't dare to speaks up against their beloved Hamas for they are equally being terrorized; and in a weird way love it. These people seem to not know love, joy and peace but only bondage and a twisted sense of blind belief and obligation. 

The rocket launchers are located in densely populated areas. When Israel retaliates they first send a warning, leaflets and duds, giving them ten minutes to evacuate and then they shoot. What is Israel aiming at? - Not the people but the rocket launchers and the weapons of terror. Those who heed the message do survive, but come back to a rubble. It's not the same with the Hamas terrorists who shoot wherever the rocket goes as long as it goes toward the inhabited places of Israel. Perhaps one of these rockets will land on the temple mount, wouldn't that be something?

The Gaza test proved that no Palestinian Arab wants peace with Israel. Deeds speak louder than words. Based on this failed test Israel has no other choice but to end it all. But how and when, we do not know, but Israel will end it somehow. 

PALESTINIAN STATE?

The Arabs do not believe in the State of Israel and that State's right to exist and yet at the same time they want their own state. According to the (Christian) Gospels 'what you saw you must reap, the way you want to be treated you must treat others', etc.  

Go figure. How is it possible to make peace and live side by side when one has a state and the other is deprived of it? In the name of what? How can you talk peace with people who in your mind are nonexistent? Yet, a country with parliament, president and prime minister constitutes a state, which the Palestinians turn a blind eye to. Naturally so, they ignore Israel, and the longer they do so the less and less they will have... if ever. 

At this point both sides won't give up territory of any kind; be it rhetorically, politically or actually. The vise's clamping teeth do come closer and soon they will lock so tight, irreversibly and retractably that any new peace initiatives will be buried and rise no more. 

Fools of their own making remain in their delusional state for so it is written:

[Isaiah 47:10-11] “You felt secure in your wickedness and said, ‘No one sees me,’ your wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you; for you have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one besides me.’ [11] But evil will come on you which you will not know how to charm away; and disaster will fall on you for which you cannot atone; and destruction about which you do not know will come on you suddenly [NASB].

ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION 

I have never heard anyone explaining this verse in a sensible way. What we hear is a bunch of sensational stuff, which too many have been addicted to. Strong words? Perhaps? Sometimes one must tear down the old in order to build something new and better.  

[Daniel 9:26] Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined [NASB].

Pay attention to the Book of Daniel for he specifically speaks of the Messiah who will be cut off. Then in the next verse he speaks about the Abomination of Desolation (Aravah, Arab and Islam).

[27] And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate.” 

Now read the words of Jesus:

[Matthew 24:15-16] “Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), [16] then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.

Obviously Daniel speaks of the Roman period, destruction of the temple (9th of AV 70 AD) and another exile. Then comes the establishment of the Roman Catholic church, (Byzantium) then in circa 600 AD comes Islam. Jerusalem eventually falls into the Islamic hands. The Dome of the Rock and the Mosque of Omar are setup in the place where they should not be (holy place).

This has already taken place. What is about to take place is the greater Israel, which the current events usher in. The temple will be rebuild, but not that God wills it, but rather man.

[Jeremiah 3:15-16] Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you on knowledge and understanding. [16] It shall be in those days when you are multiplied and increased in the land,” declares the LORD, they will no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of the LORD.’ And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor will they miss it, nor will it be made again.

But man will build the temple and the Messiah, who was cut off, will come again.

[Malachi 3:1-4] Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,” says the LORD of hosts. [2] “But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like fullers’ soap. [3] He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness. [4] Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the LORD as in the days of old and as in former years.

Obviously, this Messiah will come not as a lamb, but as a judge. This kind of a messiah Jews are waiting for. The first coming was to find the lost sheep of the house of Israel dispersed all over the world and mixed with the Gentiles (Matthew 10:6 & 15:24). It is so because of Romans 11:25. Anything else is confusing brought upon competition. Church has been grafted into the cultivated olive tree by grace UNTIL... There is the fulness of time. Paul completes it with [32] For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.

The greatest mistake most Christians make (leadership) is dualism as if Satan has plans of his own and he interferes with God's plans. This wobble confuses. The Sovereign over all creation God is fully in charge of times and epochs. However,  to a certain extent He permits man to have his way too, (in His permissive will), but ultimately His perfect will shall be done.

We are coming to an end of the Gentile age where all sheep have been gathered. We are being ushered in to a brand new reality, but barely a prelude to the coming of our Messiah.
