Holy Enigma !!!

The Enigma of Our Day

Mankind is not equipped by nature for peace. His history shows it to be so and there is no doubt of it. He is equipped with great abilities, but to be at peace with his neighbor is not given him by nature, that is by his birth. And issue de jour is that of the bully. We don’t want our children to be bullied, or to be bullies. But there are many bullies today; some we call gangs, or terrorists. Some of them rule nations and armies.

No surprise them that we see many at war with their neighbors near and far. Though there are greater and lesser conflicts, for decades, indeed since May 14, 1948 the most persistent conflict has been seen as between Israel and those who would destroy her. For nearly 2,000 years Israel was a nation without land, that is, without a homeland. That did not mean she was not a nation, for a nation is simply a family. This family whom we call the Jews was scattered throughout the whole world by the armies of Rome in 70AD. After that war and scattering the Jews were persecuted, bullied almost everywhere they went. Jews did make two notable attempts to take the land back, but they failed in each.

Today there are around 17 million Jews worldwide, that number being only ¼ of one percent (0.025%) of the 7,000,000,000 (7 BILLION) people in the earth today. Somewhat over 6,000,000 of them now live in Israel, a land about the size of the state of New Jersey. On May 14^th, 1948  this land given, or returned(?) to them by the United Nations. On THE NEXT DAY, May 15^th, 1948, six Islamic nations attacked Israel. Clearly mankind was not equipped for peace with the Jews after this their AUTHORIZED return to the Land. Israel has been fighting a defensive war there since that time.

(We are told that there was some conflict in Israel prior to this between Jews already returning to Israel wih the Arabs and with the British forces then present in Israel. After their treatment in Hitler’s Germany one could understand why. The Jews had never lost hope in returning to the Land and the fervor for that return had been growing worldwide ever stronger. What a relief it must have been to have the Land given to them in May 1948. What a relief it might have remained since were it not for the ancient enmity between Israel and her enemies.)

The question I ask is this: WHY ARE SO MANY POWERFUL AND WEALTHY NATIONS, AND SO MANY CRIMINALLY INSANE TERRORISTS OPPOSED TO EXISTENCE OF THE JEWS IN ISRAEL OR IN ANY LAND? Also: WHY ARE JEWS BULLIED WHEREVER THEY RESIDE BY SOME OR MANY OR ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE THEIR NEIGHBORS?

PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY: Why are so many so afraid of so few? This has been so for a very long time. Proportional to the world populations, in a room with 400 people, around 150 would be Christian, 150 would be Muslim, 40 to 49 would be other faiths and ONE would be a JEW! Throw out academics, throw out politics, throw out even common sense, but explain to me WHY the Jew is so hated, condemned, persecuted, assaulted and murdered by so many gentiles.

Israel has had a most powerful ally in the USA for many years. Not a few American Christians have taken a keen interest in Israel as they believe her to be “God’s timepiece.” They believe that what happens to Israel today and tomorrow to already be a matter of record in the prophecy of their Bible. These commonly called “Christian Zionists” are staunch supporters of Israel and defenders of the right of the Jews to the land of Israel. Other Christians do not think the same way. There is an entire theology (Covenant theology) among these which declares that God is finished with the Jews as a people and Israel as a nation. It is known that on May 14^th, 1948, when Israel was given her Land back, it was as if an earthquake has rocked the community of the Covenant theologians. Sadly many, even most(?) Christians are ignorant of Israel as important to the Christian faith, in the past or the future.

Why does the world not simply tolerate Israel? Could we gentiles not live and let the Jews live? “World peace” seems like a game whose rules require that Israel be accepted, with one side trying to lawfully guard her and the other committed to break every rule of law to destroy her. And who is the referee?
