"You should also know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times." (2 Timothy 3:1, NLT)
Not a "pleasant thought" after an extended weekend, but reality is always better for you and me than fantasy. "Reality Check:" The global news is not getting any better. The, "very difficult times," are upon us. A person who is not reading or listening to news is living in "Wonderland."
The Land of Israel is precisely that; the Land of Israel, the name given to Jacob after his struggle with the angel. The issue is really quite simple, isn't it? God gave the land to the Descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (Jacob), not Ishmael, or Esau. The "Owner" of the Land can give it to whomever He chooses. The one problem with humanity is it's unwillingness to accept the "God-Breathed" Word as, "God-Breathed." I talk with people from time to time who still believe that the Bible is mostly man's work with a little bit of "God" thrown in. No-- it's God's work with a little bit of man thrown in. The dominant "force" of the Bible is the Holy Spirit.
The prophetic "clock" is approaching 12:00. "What are you prepared to do?"
Father, in Jesus' Name, with all the deception in the world, keep me in, "the present truth." Amen.
