Israel Alone In a Sea of Arab/Egyptian Upheaval

The civil unrest in Egypt has reached the critical point. Egyptian forces have killed over a hundred protesters and rioters, and the violence has spread to the Sinai Bedouin, who have attacked at the Rafa border with Gaza. 
Israel is now faced with hostile intents on all of her borders, including the Mediterranean Sea (Turkey backed by Iran). This includes Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, as well as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. 
Psalm 83 is looming, as all the countries mentioned in that Scripture are now in a position to attack Israel. Read Isaiah 17...this is a situation which, should Israel strike and defeat her enemies, she would be in a position to finally enjoy peace and prosperity (the recently discovered oil reserves). Add to that the many nations elsewhere who are backing the Arab initiative to create a state within Israel's territory and you have the further makings of an Ezekiel 38 and 39 scenario down the line.


Paraguay's government said on Friday it had decided to recognize a Palestinian state based on borders before the 1967 war, following similar moves by other South American countries in recent months.

Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia and Uruguay and Guiana have recently recognized a Palestinian state along the pre-war borders. Chile and Peru have also given recognition to a Palestinian state, but without specifying borders.
Other Arab and European countries are joined to this list of over 130 who  support the Arab's who call themselves Palestinians:  Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Spain, France, Portugal, Norway and Ireland are among the many on the list. 

This is not a time to be worrying about your financial future, but about your Spiritual future. God has drawn a line in the sand... who's side will you be on? Will you believe in Yeshua-Jesus and find forgiveness through His shed blood for your transgressions against a righteous holy God? Now is the day of salvation...it is freely given...you choose.

Confusion Among Israel's Enemies...

How many times in the Tanach (Old Testament) did God stand up for His people and send confusion among her enemies, causing them to defeat themselves? Too many to list here. All it took was for some, who believed in Him, to call out His name, and He listened and was moved on their behalf. Israel is not a God-fearing nation--yet. There are scoffers, nay-sayers, pagans, and just plain unbelievers, but there those who have come to believe in Yeshua HaMashiach, and God hears their prayers along with ours on behalf of His Nation--His Land. For the most part, Israel has a military presence that is unparalleled...but God wants them to know it will be He, who overthrows their enemies. And this is becoming more and more evident as each day dawns. The headlines tell all!! From Tunisia to Yemen, Lebanon, and now in the West Bank, God is at work, bringing down those governments who are against Israel, without Israeli military involvement. Take this latest development from the Al-Jazeera's TV Network:

"After assuming the role of prosecutor and judge, Al- Jazeera, the Arab world’s most influential TV network, has ruled that the leaders of the Palestinian Authority have betrayed their people and must therefore step down from the stage. The “defendants” have been found guilty of ceding control over most of east Jerusalem to Israel, relinquishing the right of return for millions of Palestinian refugees and conducting security coordination with Israeli security authorities." 


The analysis is that Abbas' government cannot survive this indictment, and the people agree, which could possibly lead to a Hamas takeover and a necessary Israeli response. I can see Psalm 83 taking place in the very near future, in which case, Israel WILL respond with military might and fulfill ancient prophecies. However this turns out, we need to be in constant prayer for Israel and for ourselves!
