It’s Not About Israel, We are the Target

When you look at an individual tile of a mosaic you see one solid color. But when you zoom out, you see the whole picture.

In this age of rapidly developing sensational news stories we try to understand each one, and it becomes overwhelming. Could this be on purpose? When average citizens are bombarded with news of crime, inflation, high interest rates, and foreign conflicts, often they shut down and withdraw. They focus on paying their bills and keeping their children safe.

But what does God say? .... what is the end game? .... what is the 'real, big' picture God gives us? ...

Zechariah 12:2
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.”King James Version (KJV)

Zechariah 12:3
“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.”
King James Version (KJV)

Zechariah 2:8
“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.”King James Version (KJV)

Zechariah 14:3
“Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.”King James Version (KJV)

God will fight for Israel and the Jewish people at the final battle:

What a terrifically good assessment, Mr Gleason. Thank you. I'm sharing it.

Read the bible, especially the prophets for examples of what God may or may not do. God, historically had not blessed Israel until they returned to Him from their ventures into sinful activities.

The above is only partially true. God never 'forsook' Israel even when she sinned. Israel is 'Jehovah's wife' and though adulterous at times (and not the whole nation - let's not be pejorative which is the trait of antisemites and replacement theology 'so called' christians) God always restored Israel to greatness and when Israel's King of the Jews Yeshua/Jesus returns, He will deal with all the Gentile nations and defend His people at Armageddon and today (watch the news).
"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you." Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land that the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall put them in possession of it. It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." - Deuteronomy 31:6-8

Thank you, Anon. The few good preachers out there echo this truth.
