What Does The Bible Say About A Future Palestinian State?

By Joel Richardson – “On November 29, 2012, 138 nations passed U.N. Resolution 67/19 on ‘The Question of Palestine’. The resolution expresses support for the right of ‘the Palestinian people… to their independent State of Palestine’.

In light of this deeply profound and historical event, and in light of the overwhelming emerging global bias against the Nation of Israel, it is essential that all students of the Bible stop to consider what the it says about the future of both the nation of Israel and ‘Palestine’.

When one surveys the many Biblical passages that speak of the return of the Messiah, it quickly becomes apparent that among the primary issues that Jesus returns to confront, is the persecution, marginalization and unjust treatment of Israel by the nations of the earth. Despite the fact that the anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist propaganda of the age are widely embraced even by large segments of the Christian Church, the Bible is clear that when Jesus returns, he will specifically execute judgment against the enemies of Israel.

According to the prophet Joel, just prior to the return of Jesus, a vast number of nations will invade Israel and surround the city of Jerusalem. Joel tells us that Jesus will execute judgment against all parties involved in this invasion as well as any who force the dividing of His land:

I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat. Then I will enter into judgment with them there on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they have divided up My land. —Joel 3:2

It is clear from this prophecy that a distinct Palestinian State will become reality. The prophet goes on to speak of the Lord executing vengeance against

PA Fatah Committee Member: We Will Never Lay Down Swords Before The Return Of All Palestinian Refugees

In other words, they promise to never lay down their weapons until Israel ceases from being a Jewish nation and is destroyed. But YHWH God has made a promise of His own that He, too, has every intention of keeping …

Joel 3:2,19-20, “I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land… Egypt shall be a desolation, And Edom a desolate wilderness, Because of violence [against] the people of Judah, For they have shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall abide forever, And Jerusalem from generation to generation.”

Fatah Central Committee Member Jibril Rajoub, 11/29/2012: “What brother Abu Mazan (Mahmoud Abbas) is doing is living proof of the independence of our decision making and our will. This is the sacred message borne by the greatest Palestinian since Jesus – Yasser Arafat. It runs in the genes of all the Palestinians. We are all Arafatists, and we are loyal to your blood, oh Abu Ammar, whose death we commemorate this month: We shall only return our swords to their sheaths when the (Palestinian) state is established, your hopes are realized, and the refugees return. Let me tell you that the refugees’ return is sacred to Fatah and to all Palestinians. Resistance in all its forms is the strategic choice of Fatah. Let us agree – and we are ready for that – that if there is shooting, we will shoot, and if there are demonstrations, we will demonstrate.”

Tunisia: Cleric Asks Allah To Annihilate Jews, ‘Strike Them With A Resounding Blow … With Your Hatred And Wrath’ And Leave Not A Single One

A non-existent Allah is not aware of their prayers. But YHWH the God of Israel is. And His response will not be upon the heads of the “accursed Zionists.” It will be upon their own …

Ezekiel 35:3, 5-6, 10-11, “… ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, ‘Behold, I am against you, Mount Seir, And I will stretch out My hand against you And make you a desolation and a waste… Because you have had everlasting enmity and have delivered the sons of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the punishment of the end, therefore as I live,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘I will give you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you… Because you have said, ‘These two nations and these two lands will be mine, and we will possess them,’ although the LORD was there, therefore as I live,’ declares the Lord GOD, ‘I will deal with you according to your anger and according to your envy which you showed because of your hatred against them; so I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.’”

Proverbs 10:30, “The righteous will never be removed, But the wicked will not inhabit the earth.”

Sheik Ahmad Al-Suhayli, 11/30/2012: “Ever since the days of the prophets, the Jews have been obstinate. They rebelled against the decrees and laws of Allah. Whenever Allah commanded them to do something, they did the exact opposite… The Jews continued with their deviations and transgression. Those accursed Zionist Jews even had the audacity to slay the prophets of Allah… In modern times, this accursed gang gathered once again in Palestine, by means of deception and trickery… Brothers, the Arab Spring that the media talks about will not truly be a spring unless we support our brothers in Gaza, and stand united with them, in order to drive those Jews out of Palestine and to liberate Jerusalem… Oh Allah, just like you destroyed the people of ‘Aad and Thamud, destroy this gang of Jews. Strike them with a deterring force that will destroy them… Oh Allah, you know everything that those accursed Jews have done – the corruption they spread on earth … Strike them with a resounding blow, and do not leave a single one of them. Oh Lord, rip them asunder, and disperse them throughout the land … ‘Soon the unjust will know what vicissitudes will befall them.’ ‘Oh Lord, do not leave a single one of them on Earth … strike them with Your hatred and wrath …'”

Egypt: Hundreds Of Protesters Storm, Set Fire To Muslim Brotherhood HQ In Cairo After Morsi Digs In During Address To Nation

Egypt’s Islamist dictator President digs in while vowing that the old regime would never be allowed to return. Which is unfortunate because under Mubarak there was relative stability, and there was relative peace. But that “will not come back again, ever” …

RT – “The Egyptian president has addressed the nation, accusing the foreign-funded opposition of trying to incite violence against his legitimacy. Following the speech, hundreds of protesters stormed and torched the Muslim Brotherhood’s Cairo HQ.

‘I separate the legitimate opposition from the vandals who committed violence,’ Morsi told the nation. ‘The opposition thinks Article 6 is a problem. I won’t insist on keeping it, and anyway, the decree ends after the referendum.’

Morsi said he will form a new assembly to write the constitution if the current draft is rejected by the referendum.

Morsi mourned those who died in front of the presidential palace, saying his ‘heart is bleeding for the loss of innocent lives.’

‘I feel responsible for the riots in Egypt,’ he said. ‘My fellow citizens are one body that cannot be separated or torn apart.’

The Egyptian president also attacked those who he says are serving the remnants of the Mubarak regime and trying to bring down the government. He said the reason behind the constitutional declaration was to protect Egypt from such conspiracies.

‘These people became rich through the ex-regime and are now spending their fortunes to burn our homeland,’ Morsi said, claiming that some of those arrested during the clashes outside the presidential palace have links with opposition parties, while others were paid to add heat to the conflict.

‘The ex-regime will not come back again, ever,’ Morsi stated.” Read more.
