Israel is a Blessing

The Lord promised Abraham that Israel would be “a blessing” to the nations (Genesis 12:2-3). In these last days, God continues to keep His promise. The Jewish nation of Israel is standing tall among the nations. It is a global leader that promotes real freedom, security, and peace. The world does not view Israel in a positive way. We must remember that we live in a world where good has become evil, and evil has become good. The enemies of God and Israel are wicked and promote deceptive lies against God and His people.

Today, Israel is leading the world in the fight for civilization. They are fighting the battle against the evil nations that are promoting Islam and communism. We are deeply indebted to them for leading the war against radical Islam and socialism.

I recently discovered an article by Gatestone Institute entitle “Israelis: The Heroes of our Time.” This article communicates the truth about Israel’s fight for freedom and democracy. Here are a few paragraphs from that article.

“The people of Israel are peace-loving. They do not eagerly seek to join battles, they do not desire to destroy and kill. Even so, they once again find themselves forced to defend their homeland, their faith, and their right to live in peace. Perturbingly, they are besieged by those who deny their right to exist. Terrorist organizations, such as Hamas and ISIS, in contrast, appear to be driven by aggression, at times even a lust for violence, believed by many to be divinely sanctioned.

“Notwithstanding immense peril to themselves personally, and their unprecedented commitment not to endanger anyone’s life unnecessarily, Israeli soldiers defend not only their ancestral place but also the core freedoms and the right to a home that frames Western civilization itself. At this time, however, Israelis seem to be alone in their task, and continually faced with obstacles their so-called allies place in the way of swift victory.

“The defenders of Israel are courageously overcoming challenges to their nation, their land and their faith. Israel is the only country in that part of the world embodying the institutions of democracy, individual freedom and human rights. Israel, like Ukraine and Taiwan, is worth fighting for. The citizens of Israel are sacrificing their lives so that we will not have to. The least we can do is get out of the way and be of help. They are heroes. They deserve our gratitude and support” (Gatestone Institute, “Israelis: The Heroes of our Time,” June 2, 2024).
