The default position of the “world community” is essentially anti-semitic. When a prominent occurrence takes place, such as the recent interception of supposed “humanitarian” Gaza blockade vessels, most media commentators frothed at the mouth, railing at Israel’s murderous intent. How different are the facts of the situation when compared to the media created perception of Israel’s guilt. None of this should come as any surprise to Bible believing Christians.Ezekiel 25:15 “Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it (Israel) for the old hatred;”
Hatred of the Jewish nation extends back several thousand years. Is Israel an innocent nation? By no means, but they are God’s chosen people. We need to learn to love that which God loves and hate that which God hates. Does God hate the Arabic nations? Again, by no means. God so loved the whole world. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die and rise again for the collective sins of the world. Therein lies the root problem of the world’s attitude to Israel. Jesus was 100% Jewish as well being 100% God. The world hates Israel because the world hates Jesus.
Matthew 10:22 “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake...”
As Bible believers we must gladly take the reproach of Christ, and with it deliver the Gospel’s message of God’s love to a world enveloped with hatred. Only Christ can bring freedom from the bondage of sin.
