The Beginning of
the Discord in the
Middle East
Understanding It - NOT
Justifying It
PURPOSE
The
purpose of this document is to assist the Faithful in identifying
some of the critical junctions in the history of man and the
consequences associated with the choices made.
Because mankind has chosen to disobey God at these critical times,
humanity has been brought to the brink of total annihilation.
INTRODUCTION
We received a letter from one of our collaborators
from which we quote:
One of the founders of a leading
Christian publication (who is now retired),
participated in an on-line discussion of Israel. A militant
pro Israel correspondent asked him: "Do
you think
the world would be better off if the.... worshippers of Allah
succeed in pushing Israel into the sea?"
To which he responded:
No
-- I think the world would be better off if the Jews had waited for
God to restore them to their originally intended land as the result of
their appropriate turning back to Him and
their repentance after their eviction, as foretold by Ezekiel.... not
through "taking the
kingdom of heaven by
storm" by grabbing what they think is their due without waiting to
receive it -- following
their own agenda instead of God's -- as they
have a lengthy record of doing. ...
The beginnings of modern Israel -- its spiritual foundations --
are
wrong, and no good result can ultimately come from an enterprise based
on rebellion against God.
etc.
It was obvious that our
collaborator wanted a confirmation from us to avoid falling into
anti-Semitism. Thus, this document.
BACKGROUND
Let us first highlight the historical junctions where man made very
wrong
choices, thus, bringing great misery upon himself. This
in no
way
implies the justification of
the instruments of misery which
God allowed upon mankind with the intent of
helping humanity back to the right path,
(1) any more that we would
justify Judas' betrayal... as some have!!
DETAILS
Our response to his question and concern led us to determine:
a. How
far back in history did the predecessors of today's Israel go wrong; and
b.
What were the consequences that we are still enduring.
The individual that we quoted earlier has expressed the truth about the
situation as well as anyone
could possibly do. He certainly was not being anti Semitic. As we have
said many times: constructive and
illuminated criticism - which is what he has done, is never "anti-"
anything. Instead, it is "pro truth" and "pro remedy".
With that said, we will now take what he has said to levels that may
shake up
many - Jews and Christians alike.
He states that:
The beginnings of
modern Israel -- its spiritual foundations -- are wrong, and no good
result can ultimately come from an enterprise based on rebellion
against God.
To which we add:
They were wrong
from the very beginning. We will confirm it to you, not
using our own arguments, but instead by using the Holy Scriptures.
We read in the Old Testament that:
1. Jacob, collaborating in the ruse his mother planned, stole God's
Blessing, through Isaac, by pretending to be Esau.
[Genesis 27]
2. Then in Chapter 32 of Genesis we read that:
28 ....Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel:.....
So, as you can see "Israel" was started
with
the wrong foot from the very
beginning by resorting to outright and shameless deception.
But no, we are not finished yet....
Abraham - The Father of
Faith?
Let
us understand this clearly: This great faith attributed to of
Abraham really came
about
AFTER God worked a major miracle - the conception and birth of
Isaac.
This fulfilled a prophecy at which Abraham's wife,
Sarai, laughed
at in
the presence of God.
What happened before the conception
and birth of
Isaac? Exactly the same thing that man is so good at: Ignoring
God's Will and imposing
his well flawed will!
God promised Abraham ...
4 .... He
(Abraham's servant) shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out
of thy bowels, him
shalt thou have for thy heir.
5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said to him: Look up to
heaven and number the stars, if thou canst. And he said to him: So
shall thy seed be. [Gen. 15]
But Abraham just could
not wait because he did not have the faith to believe what God
promised to him.
Sarai knew Abraham's weaknesses well and she pushed Abraham into the
arms of her Egyptian slave, Agar. This was to force Abraham
to have an
offspring, thus forcing the Hand of God.
[The "spirit of
Eve" lives on.]
Therefore, because of that
lack of faith in God's promise, Ishmael
is born and, just as God promised poor Agar in Genesis 21:
What art thou
doing, Agar? fear not: for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from
the place wherein he is.
18 Arise, take up the boy, and hold him by the hand: for I will make him a great nation.
The next logical question is: What is
that great nation that God promised Agar that would spring from
Ishmael's loins?
Both Jewish
and Islamic traditions (2)
consider Ishmael as the
ancestor of the Arab People. (3)
And the rest,
brothers and sisters, is history - a bloody history which will
only come to an end through the direct intervention of God.
Humanity has
proven to Him that, even after He sent His Son to explain the Law
and the Prophets, and then He
sent Mary to underscore Her Son's messages,
without a
doubt, most humans are incapable of obeying Him. Thus, we are
incapable of
taking charge of Creation as He intended mankind to do.
That is the end point that we are approaching - the End of These
(evil!) Times.
Then,
and only then,
we may start anew, just as God announced through
Jeremiah:
31 Behold the days shall
come, saith the
Lord, and I will make a
new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Juda:
32 Not according to the
covenant which I
made with their
fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of
the land of Egypt: the
covenant which they made void, and I had
dominion over them, saith the Lord.
33 But this shall be the
covenant that
I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord:
I will give my law in their bowels, and I will write it in their heart:
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall teach no more
every man his neighbour, and
every man his brother, saying: Know the Lord: for all shall know me
from the least of them even to the greatest, saith the Lord: for I will
forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
35 Thus saith the Lord, who giveth the sun
for the light of the
day, the order of the moon and of the stars, for the light of the
night: who stirreth up the sea, and the waves thereof roar, the Lord of
hosts is his name.
[Jeremiah
31]
CONCLUSION
To the world, we say: Exactly
what part of what miguel de Portugal (4) is announcing to the world
in the
Name of God can't you
understand?
If we make it any clearer, it would become
transparent!
