Is Hillary’s disagreement with Netanyahu going to destroy us?

It is claimed that the argument between Hillary Clinton and Netanyahu over the settlements is the worst problem between Israel and the United States in thirty-five years. Hillary slammed the Israeli government because the announcement to continue the building of Jewish housing in eastern Jerusalem came at the same time that Joe Biden made his appearance in Israel. She felt that the U.S. had somehow been betrayed when Joe had come to try and help bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians.

When a true Christian in America hears that there is a falling out between Israel and the United States it always has a tendency to be a cause for fear. Most true Christians understand that God has promised to bless those that bless Israel and curse those that curse Israel. So it is only natural that this would happen.

The Obama administration would love to be the group that brings peace to the Middle-East. The reason being that they would gain popularity and praise from all the nations. I personally do not believe that Obama cares for Israel or the Palestinians at all. It is power and praise that he seeks. It is easy for him and Hillary to get upset with Israel if they don’t do what the United States tells them to do. Israel is a sovereign nation and has the right to do whatever they feel is right with their own country. Obama would like to make Jerusalem an international city in an effort to bring peace. Israel is not up to that. How would you like for another nation to tell us that we need to make Washington D.C. an international city belonging to all the nations of the world? This is part of his solution for peace in the Middle-East and he isn’t the only one that has this view. It is wrong, Jerusalem, the city of David belongs to Israel by promise from God.

Obama is bad for the relationship between Israel and the United States and God will eventually move him out of the way. But, he will not be the man that the Bible speaks about that divides the land of Israel and is destroyed because of it. The church is so bad to proclaim something that is taken completely out of context in order to strike fear into the hearts of so many. I would like to repeat something that I have said in another article that I wrote concerning dividing the land

One of the scriptures that are used a lot these days are taken from Joel 3:1-2. It is a warning of the coming doom and destruction of anyone that divides the land of Israel. You can read numerous websites and blogs crying out "woe to them that divide my land" with various views of this thought. It is commonly believed that if anyone negotiates a division of the land in Israel it will bring destruction on those that do so. The following scriptures are the reality of this meaning and it has to be rightly divided.

According to Strong’s concordance the word Jehoshaphat means; "Jehovah has judged".

The 'valley of Jehoshaphat' is to be understood as a general term for the place or part of the world for God's final judgment on those enemies of Israel."

The Key to understanding the scriptures in Joel 3:1-2 is to actually read what it says.

1. It will be a judgement of God on the nations that have done certain things to Israel.
2. It will be in the last days when God comes to bring the final deliverance to Israel and the city of Jerusalem.
3. It will be a judgement on those that have scattered Israel into the nations.
4. It will be a judgement upon those that have parted or divided the land of Israel.

So we must keep these things in mind when we pronounce this terrible woe upon those that are involved in attempting to negotiate a peace in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine. Is this what they are doing? It is very important for you to know that I do not believe that giving away part of Israel to the Palestinians is going to bring any kind of peace. To give away Jerusalem would be catastrophic. I hate the thought of it.

You see the radical Muslims in that part of the world does not want there to be peace between the Palestinians and Israel. If Israel gives away this land it will not do any good. The war to drive Israel out of that part of the world will continue because it is the goal of the Islamic people. So negotiating land to the Palestinians is not going to bring peace to Israel or Palestine.

I personally do not believe that God is going to punish the leaders of America and Israel for seeking a peaceful solution to the continued turmoil that goes on in that part of the world. The reason I do not believe this is based on the meaning of the scriptures in Joel 3:1-2 and what Daniel says in the 11^th Chapter. I believe that this punishment and judgement will fall on the Antichrist and his nations at the time of Armageddon and this is why.

Notice that this verse says that the Antichrist "shall divide the land for gain." There is only one person in Bible prophecy that fits all the criteria of the four points that the scripture points to in Joel 3:1-2. When the Antichrist invades Israel at the middle of the Tribulation Israel will be overpowered and forced to run for their lives. In Joel it says scattered into the nations. They must flee or be killed. For just a short period of time right after the Antichrist takes over Israel he will divide the land among the Palestinians and some key supporters of his. This he will do to appear to rest of the Muslim nations that he is fulfilling all the prophecies that they have of him as the Mahdi or messiah to come. This will be short lived because the United States and her allies will invade Israel and drive him all the way back to the river Euphrates in Iraq. There, at that time, world war three will erupt. Finally at the end of this period the Antichrist will be enforced by kings from the east that will help him drive the US and her allies all the way back to the city of Jerusalem. It will be at that time that Joel 3:1-2 will take place when Jesus Christ himself comes to fulfill these scriptures and punish these wicked people for driving Israel from their land and dividing the land among themselves.

Yours in Christ,
Tommie Spurgeon
