Описание: NOTES ON THE DRUMS OF WAR: FIVE STAGES ON THE ROAD TO ARMAGEDDON – PART II: THE PSALM 83 WAR

SCRIPTURE. [ASAPH] “O God, don’t sit idly by, silent and inactive when we pray. Answer us! Deliver us! Don’t you hear the tumult and commotion of your enemies? Don’t you see what they are doing, these proud men who hate the Lord? They are full of craftiness and plot against your people, laying plans to slay your precious ones. ‘Come,’ they say, ‘and let us wipe out Israel as a nation—we will destroy the very memory of her existence.’” - PSALM 83:1-4, TLB

QUOTATIONS

AL-BANNA. “If the Jewish State becomes a fact, and this is realized by the Arab peoples, they will drive the Jews who live in their midst into the sea.” - Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, ‘New York Times,’ 1948; edited

BEN-GURION. “The Land of Israel was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here their spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped. Here they first attained to Statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance and gave to the world the eternal ‘Book of Books.’ After being forcibly exiled from their Land, the people kept faith with it throughout their Dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their Return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom.” - David Ben-Gurion, ‘The Declaration of the State of Israel,’ Tel Aviv, May 14, 1948; edited

MEIR. “When peace comes, we will perhaps in time be able to forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, but it will be harder for us to forgive them for having forced us to kill their sons. Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.” - Golda Meir, ‘A Land of Our Own: An Oral Autobiography,’ 1973; edited

I. FIRST THOUGHTS

You will recall again my fascination with, nearly an obsession with, ‘Origins.’ All the more so the central focus of our discussion of this war – and mostly all others: ISRAEL. The very name provokes deeply rooted sentiments ranging from transcendental awe and reverence, all the way to churning hatred and vitriol nearly unmatched in relation to any other Nation and people.

‘Why’ is this so, beloved?

I intend to show you some of The Answer, discovered after decades of research, reflection, and an intense recent study of Israel commissioned by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews to develop a course on “History of the Jews” in 2018. To drastically understate it in today’s common vernacular:

“It’s complicated.”

ORIGIN OF THE COVENANT. One cannot possibly grasp the immensity of this subject without mastering, or at least appreciating its Ancient Taproot in the rich soil of Yahweh’s very Heart and Eternal Plans for Mankind.

It all started in a dusty Sumerian city-state by the name of Ur of the Chaldeans, located in the southern quadrant of what we now call, Iraq (Mesopotamia). History records that ABRAM was on his way from there to a place called, Haran, a journey of about 600 miles to southern Turkey.

“Now the Lord said to Abram, ‘Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others]. And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves].’” – GENESIS 12:1-3, AMP

THE SIGNIFICANCE. This Divine Commission has also come to mean many things to us in the present, not the least of which is that Israel is, both now and forever: THE ROOT AND BRANCH of God’s Eternal Provision for Mankind to be able to Return to God from his catastrophic Fall in the Garden.
