Israel, Land of God's Chosen.

As unpopular as this concept is, and anything I say is going to be unpopular anyway, there are still some facts that need to be addressed here. Israel is the home of God’s chosen people. The Hebrew people spent forty years wandering in the wilderness because they were unfaithful to the God of Abraham, but that God remained faithful to them regardless, always keeping His promise to His chosen ones. The Promised Land would be theirs, or at least their children’s, all they had to do was enter it, stand up against the nations already residing there, and God would help them defeat them. All they had to do was keep the faith of their fathers and they would inherit the land promised to them long ago. Keep in mind that these were slaves in Egypt, and had known nothing but the bountiful Egyptian landscape. Once in the wilds without benefit of civilization, most of them turned away from their original faith and followed either the gods of Egypt or chaos itself. Both led to destruction for thousands of Hebrew people.

Israel was not a nation for 2,000 years due to disobedience of the Hebrew people, but God yet again took mercy on the Hebrews and promised them that once again they would have the Promised Land for their own. That achievement was to mark the beginning of the Biblical “end times events”, which will not signify the end of the world but simply a new beginning for the believers in God. The event of Israel becoming a nation again took place in 1948, when the Jewish people of the world began to once again immigrate to the Promised Land. Are you aware that Israel, God’s chosen people, have never once lost a battle that God has directed them through? If they lost at all it was only because they lost faith in the one true God of their fathers. We all lose faith from time to time, sometimes with disastrous results, but no nation has been more tumultuous, and more hated, than Israel.

Why is that, you might ask? Why would Israel as a nation be more hated than any other on the planet? It’s simple, really. They have what we all want: The protection of God. They are His chosen people, therefore they are the most hated people. They have been persecuted, tortured, murdered, displaced and battled since time began, yet they still exist. No matter how hard we try we cannot wipe the Jewish people from this world. Yet, like the idiots we are, we keep trying, not believing that the Jews have a right to the land of Israel, because God gave them that right. Yes, there are four religions residing in that land at this time, though not always peaceably, but in reality that land belongs solely to the Jewish people and when they give up a piece of it to someone else, they are giving up their birthright.

Israel is the land that Moses was only allowed to look at because he sinned and was banned from ever entering the Promised Land, Israel is the land that an entire generation of Jews died for but could not enter. Israel is the land of plenty that grew virtually nothing in its desert wasteland for centuries until now. Why does it prosper now? Because the Jews are back in it, that’s why. 100 years ago, nothing grew in that land, and nothing could even be encouraged to grow there. It was a lot like trying to grow a garden at the South Pole, it just could not be done. But now, ever since 1948, that land is full of milk and honey and has become a most prosperous nation. If the Jews were gone from its soil it would return to a wasteland again, because that is the way God wants it.

So, even though the idea is an unpopular one, we still have to consider the facts behind the history of the nation of Israel. Hitler could not wipe them out, dispersion to the ends of the Earth didn’t do it, death, destruction, and hatred didn’t kill them off. The Jews exist, and they are deeply loved by God. They are the nation of Israel and the land belongs to nobody but them. Respect is due these valiant warriors who can defeat any army no matter its size or power, and our love is due them as well, because if we claim to love God we must also love His chosen.
