My friend, that is such a dangerous position to take, but a position of course that many share, and one that was predicted long ago. If you don't
know, the world focus on the mideast peace situation between Israel and the Arabs was predicted long ago.
"And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the
people of the earth be gathered together against it" (Zech12:3).
Seems to be true doesn't it? Isn't it odd that Israel, this tiny piece of land, is the focus of the whole world? Strange, isn't it, that a book
that many call a lie and laugh at, foretold this thousands of years ago? There's more. That war you think can be prevented by forcing Israel off
their land......gonna happen.....period. Ezekiel 38-39 speaks of this war. I'm sure you heard of it. It's the Gog Magog war. Many arab nations
including Iran, Lybia, Turkey and others, along with Russia and China will come against Israel. Odd isn't it....that we can already see the
alignment of the nations taking place...Russia, Iran, Turkey, Lybia, perhaps Syria....versus the US, Israel, perhaps the EU? WWIII possibly?
Ezekiel 38:17 “‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: You are the one I spoke of in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel. At that
time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them. 18 This is what will happen in that day: When Gog attacks the land of Israel, my
hot anger will be aroused, declares the Sovereign LORD. 19 In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in
the land of Israel. 20 The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the beasts of the field, every creature that moves along the ground, and all the
people on the face of the earth will tremble at my presence. The mountains will be overturned, the cliffs will crumble and every wall will fall to the
ground. 21 I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Sovereign LORD. Every man’s sword will be against his brother. 22 I
will execute judgment on him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and
on the many nations with him. 23 And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they
will know that I am the LORD.’
The above is what the Lord says He will do to the nations that come against Israel. Not a place that I would want to be found, that's for sure.
When God gave the land to Abraham, this is what he said: "The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s
household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a
blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." (Genesis
12:1-3 NIV)
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob gave this land to the Jews a long long time ago, and standing against that is a very dangerous place to be.
