The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;
He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever,
The plans of His heart to all generations.
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD,
The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.
(Psalm 33:10-12)
Â
Well, they certainly are straining to push out Palestine, and with increasing desperation. The international community is employing every conceivable approach and strategy to implement the next stage of the ”land-for-peace” process that will see another great chunk of the land God gave to the Jews stolen to grease the oil-and blood-stained Arab hands.
And, come to think of it, the Quartet midwife does constitute a formidable force:There is Christian United States of American President George W. Bush, the most powerful man in the world, principal visionary and sponsor of the two-state-solution, aided by powerhouse Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a lady keen to leave her particular mark on the history of this region.Then there is the secular-humanist and arrogant foreign policy chief Javier Solana, primary pusher for the United States of Europe – the continent with the longest and most sordid history of antisemitism, a prejudice that remains as pervasive as ever from England and France through Spain, Portugal, Germany, Poland and Italy.
We have Putin-the-Terrible, Russia’s new Czar-in-the-making and “former†KGB thug – who is expensively arming Israel’s enemies (and bumping off his own) even as he adds his increasingly influential weight to the political pressure on Israel.
And green to the scene, but clearly well-briefed, is United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, who “within the month†plans to visit Israel and the “Palestinian Authority†in order to “save†the peace process.
Enthusiastically assisting these parties at the birthing stool with helpful declarations and provocative demands is Britain’s soon-to-be-former Prime Minister Tony Blair, France’s apparently ever-living pro-Arab president Jacques Chirac, Lady-in-waiting for the White House Hilary Clinton, peacenik extra-ordinary Jimmy Carter, and a host of less significant, but no less dedicated [to Israel’s dissection], leaders around the world.
Divided about so many things, these nations, blocs and individuals have common ground in their resolve to see Palestine – so long a political fantasy and never a historical reality – born as soon as possible onto the world stage.
And it hardly helps, having weak Israelis – Jews like Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and, of course, the country’s eminence gris, Shimon Peres, enthusiastically anticipating the arrival of this monstrosity: another Muslim Arab state whose religion and nationalism (which is really one and the same thing) will immediately bond it integrally with the Islamic effort to rid “its†Middle East of this hated race.
One way or another, these leaders are convinced – and from their perspective how could they be otherwise? – their “solution†will come into being.
Never mind that the great majority of the Palestinian Arabs have repeatedly stated that they have no intention of “living side-by-side in peace†alongside what would be left of Israel. The world has determined how it will be, and with their combined and irresistible power will move heaven and earth to make it so.
Well earth, maybe.
Heaven, however, will not be moved. Heaven has decreed a different future for the Land and People of Israel from the “vain thing†plotted by the Gentile nations. And no matter how many or how prevailing these nations may be, to Him Who sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, they are “as a drop in the bucket and counted as small dust on the scales;†their people “like grasshoppers†in His sight.
All nations before Him are as nothing, and they are counted by Him less than nothing and worthless. … He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless. Scarcely shall they be planted, scarcely shall they be sown, scarcely shall their stock take root in the earth, when He will also blow on them, and they will wither, and the whirlwind will take them away like stubble. (Isaiah 40:17:23, 24)As they strategize about how to impose their will in the Middle East, there are a number of geographical areas these leaders – and the principalities and powers which influence them – focus their attention on, specifically the Land of Israel, the City of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount.
In the coming days we will be taking a closer look at what the world claims, asserts and plans concerning these places. And, far more importantly, we will see, and proclaim, what God has to say about them.
Great article Stan,The pure ,RARE truth !
As you laid out ,the World is united as one against Israel.
The degree of deception from the West with their phony peace plan which confuses God’s people who seem to believe that the west is good and the other nations are bad ignores the truth that trhe whole earth lies in the hold of the evil one.
There is no good nation ,bad nation in this war against God .
THEY ARE ALL EVIL AND ALL WILL FACE THE RATH OF GOD !
The chief superpower will recieve special judgment as Babylon under Beltshazzer recieve swift judgment as he trifled with the holy things of God during his great party.
In one hour Babylon was defeated ,weighed in the baalance and found lacking .The degree of evil and arrogance to steal God’s land and give it to His enemies is nothing less that terminal act.
The leaders of this world in rebellion against their Creator only do what comes naturally as the brute beasts they are.
It is unnatural to expect anything good from them .They are at war against God. and Israel is God’s agenda,love, place and people upon the earth.
They have imposed their evil agenda against Israel as they have their homosexual agenda upon God’s little one’s.
What else but His wrath awaits these leaders and nations who do the will of their god ,Satan.
Do not put your trust in princes Nor in a son of man (a human) in whom there is no help. Psalm 147
When God is finished His work in the earth ,all who survive will know that it is He who rules over all and it is He who fights for and defends His remnant Israel.
“I will punish the world for its evil,
And the wicked for their iniquity;
I will halt the arrogance of the proud,
And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
I will make a mortal more rare than fine gold,
A man more than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Therefore I will shake the heavens,
And the earth will move out of her place,
In the wrath of the Lord of hosts
And in the day of His fierce anger.
Isaiah 13
THE LORD WILL FIGHT FOR HIS OWN FOR THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S.
Stan, God Bless You. You have laid it all out carefully and precisely for all who read this to fully understand. I am so thankful for you and Jerusalem Newswire, StanGoodenough.com, etc.
I have begun to understand things I so desperately needed to know and UNDERSTAND….so many people think it really does not concern them….How they are fooled!!! Everything that happens in Israel affects not only every individual in the United States—but all throughout the entire world.
You have presented the truth….those who seek to turn their head, as though it does not concern them and their families and futre, are in BIG trouble.
I get up praying for Israel—I go to bed praying for Israel….Thank God I understand the world situation to a degree ONLY because of you and your articles. I trust you because you have proved to be trustworthy. I have been following your articles for one year….It has been an “eye-opener” and I know God sanctioned my “accidentally” finding your website….NO accident…God’s Hand at work behind the scenes.
Why do the heathen rage? Why—THEY DON’T FEAR THE MOST HIGH GOD—THAT IS WHY! The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom!
Thank you for being there for us. Thank you for all you have a godly part in….Thank you for Praying for Israel via E-mail. I look forward EVERY day to reading and praying over your E-mail.
You have been given much by the Lord Jesus Christ, and you are using it for His Kingdom. His Hand is on you and your family, and blessings are flowing your way. I pray for you all every morning and am so thankful you are there for all of us.
The World System continues its evil plan to destroy Israel….but God sits in Heaven and laughs at their folly. Israel will NEVER be destroyed….God has declared it….Hallelujah!!!.
We are on the Winning Side….I am thankful to have been taught as a little child to love Israel and the Jewish people.
Thank you again for always being here for us with the truth….
Praise The LORD, It is so good to read the thruth.Amen Kept up the faith In and work of Our LORD YESUHA.Please forgive my typing I am still learning
too use the net.
Stan, I don’t always agree with you, but, on this one you are RIGHT on TARGET!
Great article!
Stan, like Stephan, I don’t always agree but I look forward to your articles because they reveal keen Spirit derived insight. Let me say also, I have missed you. Perhaps I missed a post about your absence but never the less welcome back. Having said that, let me also commend Ryan, whose commentary I enjoy. We can only pray that our Father will say, enough is enough and Rapture the church.(Pre-trib).
Hi,
I love your article. it is too bad that Americans do not know how they have offended a holy God by dividing the land of Israel. I hope God will send a revival soon to our country before the great day of the Lords wrath! Joe
What a fantastic article! “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh..”
As spectators to the ineffective efforts of sinners to destroy Israel, we join in heaven’s hilarity!
Hi Stan, a few people who have responded, I ALWAYS agree with what you have to say, because it is ALWAYS the absolute TRUTH, as declared by the Almighty. Keep the truth coming, good to have you back after your absence. G-d bless and protect you and your family. Great article ! I personally can’t wait for the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to humble these arrogant world leaders and corrupt politicians when He comes to install His government from Jerusalem. …Maranatha…
This world’s system is driven by arrogance and greed. The world leaders arrogantly believe that they can do great things and bring peace to the Middle East, yet they do not even seek to find out what God’s says regarding Israel. They do not choose to remember God in their thinking. Yet, it is God’s will that will be accomplished and not theirs. The world’s leaders see the oil resources held by the Arabs and seek to placate the Arabs in order to have access to this oil. It is their greed for gain and lust for power that drives them.
God would have a man consult His word before making such important decisions. God would have a man to do justly and love mercy rather than to deal treacherously in order to obtain oil.
I await the coming of our Righteous King, Jesus Christ. He is the pinnacle of all that is good. He will right the terrible wrongs that this world’s leaders are doing and will do. Come soon, Lord!
