In our times of unrest, we can point to a tiny little country that is bigger than life! It is called Israel. This tiny little country was chosen by God, so He could show Himself MIGHTY!!!
It all started with a twin born to Isaac and Rebeka. Esau and Jacob were the twins with Esau being first and Jacob being second. Now Jacob came out holding the heel of his brother.
It was Jacob that wrestled with God almost an entire night and Jacob told God I WILL NOT LET YOU GO UNTIL YOU BLESS ME! Wow, something to be demanding of God huh? Nevertheless, God did bless him and changed his name from Jacob to Israel. Hence we have the nation of Israel! He was also from the line of Abraham and Sarah.
Next came King David, you know the one who killed Goliath. His son was Solomon the richest and wisest man ever. Solomon built a temple for God and then dedicated it to God and here is Gods response: “If (My) people who are called by (My Name) will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and TURN from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and heal their land! That could be America if the leaders and Christians would do what God said to do. Just a little side note from God; “Now My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in THIS place (which place? The temple Solomon built) I have chosen and consecrated this temple so that MY Name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.”
Now getting to the point; Jesus the Messiah and Savior then came! After that came a man named Saul who thought he was doing God a favor by killing the Jews and Christians. (Does this sound familiar)? So these children from Ishmael are saying the same things about us (Kill the infidel!) And thinking they are doing God a favor. II Chronicles 7:14 still stands from Our God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Get with the program rulers and Christians!
