JUSTICE STANDETH AFAR OFF!
March 18, 2008

The condition of Israel in the days of Isaiah sounds very much like the moral condition of the Palestinian society today, and yet the vast bulk of the nations of
the world feel great sympathy for the Palestinians, and none for the Israelis.
Isaiah 59:4 – None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Isaiah 59:14,15 – And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. [15] Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Since they believe the Koran is inspired and Muhammad is the Prophet of their God Allah, they simply cannot accept that Isaac was Abraham’s child through whom God gave the Land of Israel to the descendants of Jacob. Nor will some 90 percent of the nations of the world accept it.
Genesis 15:18 – In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
Psalm 2:1-6 – Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? [2] The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, [3] Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. [4] He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
[5] Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. [6] Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Ezekiel 37:21-28 – And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: [22] And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all: [23] Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
[24] And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. [25] And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. [26] Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. [27] My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. [28] And the heathen shall know that I the Lord do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Zechariah 14:8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.
ISRAEL, DO YOU NOT BELIEVE YOUR OWN PROPHETS
? ALL THE LAND YOU ARE GIVING BACK IS YOURS. BUT NEITHER WOULD YOUR FATHERS GO IN TO FIGHT AND CLAIM IT AT FIRST, AND NEITHER ARE YOU. FORTUNATELY, YOU WILL ONLY HAVE TO SPEND 1260 DAYS IN THE WILDERNESS OF THE NEGEV, AS OPPOSED TO THE 40 YEARS YOUR FATHERS HAD TO DWELL THERE FOR NOT TAKING WHAT WAS THEIRS BY HIS DECREE. AND ONCE AGAIN YOUR GOD MUST SAVE YOU AND LEAD YOU IN TO TAKE WHAT HE GAVE YOU LONG AGO BY HIS GRACE.
Revelation 12:6 – And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Micah 5:6 – And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
Mortimer Zukerman’s article, “A Moral Outrage,” in the U.S. News is right on target as to which group the real sympathy should be extended.
I would certainly be amiss if I did not warn both individuals and nations that a day is coming when both will be judged for their attitude they demonstrated toward Israel, the apple of God’s eye.
Zechariah 2:8-13 – For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. [9] For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me. [10] Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. [11] And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee. [12] And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. [13] Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
And to those individuals and nations that think so highly of Palestinians, the descendants of the Canaanites, I would advise you to consider what it will be like in Israel after Christ returns at His Second Advent.
Zechariah 14:20,21 – In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar. [21] Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall BE NO MORE THE CANAANITE in the house of the Lord of hosts.

A Moral Outrage
Mortimer Zuckerman (U.S. News)
March 17, 2008
The world applauded when Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, forcibly removing Jewish settlers. At last, the Palestinians were free to show how they could build their own society.
But what did they do with their freedom? They elected the terrorist organization Hamas in 2006.
First Fatah and now Hamas have rained 4,000 rockets on Israel, killed 24, and wounded 620 – the equivalent of killing 1,200 Americans and wounding 31,000. The citizens of Sderot and Ashkelon have suffered a collective trauma; children fear that when parents leave for work, they will never see them again.
And what does the world do? It criticizes Israel for a “disproportionate” response. Israel is discriminating in trying to defend its people. It attacks Gaza’s rocket launchers, weapons factories, and terrorists, all hidden in civilian areas.
What is a proportionate response? None at all, it seems.
Hamas kills indiscriminately.
It makes no distinction between civilians and combatants. But it is Israel that earns the opprobrium.
Would Paris, London, Bonn, or New York sit back quietly if terrorists attacked from sanctuaries somewhere just off their borders
?
Palestinians continue to get away with their confidence trick of persuading the world that they are the victims. Hamas uses women and children as human shields and then exaggerates the casualties.
The U.S. forced the Israelis and the Palestinians to include Hamas in the 2006 election. Later, we caused the removal of Israeli control of the Philadelphi road, a crucial barrier in the protection against the smuggling of arms, insisting it be left to the Palestinians under Egyptian and European supervision. Israeli protests that foreign troops would not stop either terrorists or arms from making their way into Gaza went unheeded.
