God has demonstrated that He will bless His chosen people. He has called and blessed them since the time of Abraham. Even in the midst of suffering and loss, God has blessed His people. When Satan and his evil minions attempted to harm Israel, the Lord displayed His faithfulness and sovereign power by defeating Satan’s attempts to harm His people. Not only does He defeat the devil and evil, but God turns the attack into a blessing.
Iran and its proxy terrorist groups have intended to threaten Israel with annihilation. However, while Israel has suffered great loss, it is leading to a greater blessing for Israel and Jews around the world. Like Joseph said to his brothers, “You thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive” (Genesis 50:20). For many years, the Jewish people wondered about the apparent absence of God in their defense during the Holocaust. However, this horrific time ultimately opened the doors for the creation of the modern state of Israel. God turned their suffering into a praise.
The Lord has chosen to use suffering to bring about His perfect will in His people. Concerning Israel, the Lord has said, “I haven chosen thee in the furnace of affliction” (Isaiah 48:10).
Israel suffered great loss on October 7th. However, now the hand of God is pouring out many blessings upon the Jewish people. The Jewish people in Israel and around the world are experiencing a unique spirit of unity unlike anything in modern times. There is presently a spirit of sweet unity and comradery in Israel among all Jews. As a result of the explosion of antisemitism around the world, many Jewish people are planning to immigrate to Israel. The largest pro-Israel rally took place in Washington D.C. on November 14, 2023. (See photo.) The greatest blessing is the spiritual revival that is taking place in Israel. Israelis are seeking the face of God. It remains to be seen if this is the beginning of the great movement of salvation that will culminate in Israel during the Tribulation.
This certainly demonstrates that “If God be for us, who can be against us” (Romans 8:31)?
