My previous stance on the Arabs: they are the descendants of Ishmael who according to the Bible was an illegitimate child of a maid who was also blessed by God but whose child was rejected by God . The Bible also states that they will be a troublesome people and will not pursue the path of peace. This is why Christians chuckle when Muslims call their religion, the religion of peace.
My journey on revising my stand about Israel started earlier this year, when I saw a picture of an Israeli soldier shooting at a fleeing teenager at the back. This disturbed me for a long time. Then, I saw the video that went viral of a black Jew army officer being beaten up by two Caucasian Jew soldiers when he apparently was not doing anything wrong. It was so bad that the Prime minister had to go apologise publicly to manage a bad PR. This touched on a raw nerve for me. So this people I have supported all of my life, were actually racist to my kind? This played on my mind and encouraged me to investigate further.
I read books and studied articles over the year and a very disturbing picture emerged. I studied the Bible in order to clarify what God actually says about this people and how I was to relate to them.
In 2016, I finally concluded that the only binding command in the Bible is for me to to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and I believe God knew how troubled it would be. It also makes clear that the temple would be rebuilt which makes it clear God still has a plan for the place. Beyond this, I discovered that an average Jew is a proud, annoying individual. I also discovered that many of them are miserly and self serving. They have become very rich largely due to survival strategies over the years as they were greatly persecuted. I also discovered to my surprise that a few are actually racist and many don't really care about anyone who is not a Jew. They are very sly and control the decisions in the West by stealth. In the process of protecting their country, they continue to distabilise the peace of so many others.
In conclusion, I agree God chose them and blessed them but I'm also aware God opened it up and gave us Jesus who made it available to all. Israel is a country that reminds us of the Christian God and hence very important in that regard but not all Jews are religious and very many have not accepted Jesus. Israel has a right to exist with Jerusalem as the capital but wrong in not allowing the palestines to build theirs irrespective of their ludicrous demands. Israel controls the decisions of many Christians in the world, particularly in Africa but many Jews don't think much of Africans and have done very little for them, even the Falashas who were airlifted into Israel are treated poorly and badly in the country. The world continues to celebrate the Holocust as they should, but who remembers the millions of other people killed unjustly? Including the ones the West will kill by the end of this day?
I do not support the Arab countries as many ultimately are about proselytising the Islamic religion. I also see the duplitious nature of Saudi Arabia and Iran in sponsoring terror across the Globe but in this year, I finally revised my stand on Israel, I no longer support a blank cheque on their actions. All the promises are for those who will accept Jesus not all Jews. I also stop supporting all the men of God who continue to hand them blank cheques.
One rule should apply to all the countries of the world and that is equity and justice and I cannot continue to support The exemption of Israel from this. Thanks!
