God Will Save Zion (Israel)
By Stephen YulishAll of us that love Israel (Zion) are troubled as we see her enemies poised to
attack her. We see the new little Hitler, President Ahmadinijad of Iran, call
for her annihilation. We see Syria poised near the border on the Golan Heights
waiting to attack. We see Hezbollah preparing on the Lebanese border and Hamas
fomenting disorder in Gaza. The United Nations constantly chastises Israel as
does Putin of Russia, Solana of the EU and even the Pope. Israeli Prime
Minister Olmert continues the failed policy of giving away Israel's birthright
in hopes that it will pacify the enemy. It will not. Even the United States,
her staunchest ally, is unwilling to move its Embassy to Jerusalem and still
tries to resurrect the road map to destruction even though it will never work
because the Arabs do not really want peace. They want to drive the Israelis
into the sea. It would end the thorn in the heart of their relatively newfound
Muslim Holy Site of Jerusalem and prove that Muhammad and the Koran were
indeed correct in stating that the Jews would not return to that region. As it
stands today, the Bible has instead proven to be correct and the Jews have
returned to the land that God promised them as a legacy forever.
I am going to cite scriptures from the Sepher Tehillim, the Book of Praises,
the Book of Psalms which show that God will not forsake His firstborn people.
Not because they deserve this protection because they have indeed sinned and
rejected Him but because He made them a promise to them and God is not a liar.
We all should be thankful for that because we all too continue to sin but God
promised that all who call upon his Name shall be saved. And God is not a
liar."For God will save Zion" Psalm 69:35
"I have made a covenant with my chosen. I have sworn to David my servant. I
will establish your seed forever" Psalm 89:3-4"My covenant I will not violate nor will I alter the utterance of my lips.
Once I have sworn by My holiness I will not lie to David. His descendants
shall endure forever" Psalm 89:34-36"God will give His angels charge over you (Israel)" Psalm 91:11
"The Lord will not abandon His people nor will He forsake His inheritance"
Psalm 94:14"He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep" Psalm 121:4
"As the mountains surround Jerusalem so the Lord surrounds His people from
this time forth and forever" Psalm 125:2"Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion" Psalm 9:11
"Surely God is good to Israel" Psalm 73:1
"He declares His words to Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances to Israel. He
has not dealt thus with any other nation" Psalm 147: 19"Praise for all His godly ones, even for the sons of Israel, a people near to
Him" Psalm 148:14"For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has desired it for His habitation. This is
my resting place, forever. Here I shall dwell. I will abundantly bless her
provision.Her priests, I will clothe with salvation and her godly ones will
sing aloud with joy. Her enemies I will clothe with shame but on them crowns
shall shine" Psalm 132:13-16, 18"Let Israel be glad in his Maker.For the Lord takes pleasure in His people. He
will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation" Psalm 149:2, 4"The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together
against the Lord and against His Anointed.He who sits in heaven laughs. The
Lord scoffs at them. Then He will speak to them in His anger and terrify them
in His Fury" Psalm 2:2, 4-5"He sent upon them His burning anger, fury and indignation and trouble. A band
of destroying angels" Psalm 78:49
"May all who hate Zion be put to shame and be turned backward. Let them be
like grass upon housetops which withers before it grows up " Psalm 129:5-6"O Israel, hope in the Lord for with the Lord there is loving kindness and
with Him is abundant redemption. He will redeem Israel from all iniquities"
Psalm 130:7-8"Blessed by the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen
and amen" Psalm 41:13The Apostle Paul best summarized the fate of Zion, Israel.
"I say then, God has not rejected His people has He? May it never be! . God
gave them a spirit of stupor. I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall
did they? May it never be! But by their transgressions salvation has come to
the Gentiles to make them jealous. Do not be arrogant, remember that it is not
you that supports the root but the root supports you. a partial hardening has
happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in and thus all
Israel will be saved; just as it is written, The Deliverer will come from
Zion. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob. And this is My covenant with them
when I take away their sins .for the gifts and the calling of God are
irrevocable" Romans 11:1, 8, 11,18,25,26, 27, 29
