Israel, the Prodigal Heir

July 2002
By Ishak Natan

‘The father of all lies’ has provoked and deceived the Palestinian Arab since time immemorial to drive the Israelis into the sea. The murderer of a Jew goes to paradise where countless virgins await as reward according to the religion of Islam.
On the other hand God Himself blinded the Jews after they had rejected their own Messiah, the Prince of life who came first in the flesh 2000 years ago, King of the Jews. Both sides are now suffering.

When in 1948 against all odds Israel was reborn as an unbelief nation, all hell broke loose. The surrounding Arab nations attempted four times to destroy Israel.
What was the reason? Because of the land which had been promised to the Israelis’ ancestor? It could be. 

But the ultimate reason to annihilate the Jews is this: 
‘The prince of this world’ knows that if the nation of Israel repents and asks her Messiah to come back to save her from final extermination, then the career of ‘the god of this world’ is finished. Satan’s doom will be ended in the bottomless pit.

To avoid this happen, he stirs up demonic hatred against the Jewish people in all places and draws support from all nations on this planet. Look only at the UN resolutions that have been produced until now (http://www.cdn-friends-icej.ca/un/record.html). From 175 total resolutions, 74 are neutral, 4 against the perceived interest of an Arab state and 97 against Israel. 

Since Abraham’s time Satan tried desperately to cut off the scarlet thread of redemption destined for the sinful human race. It is through the Jewish race that finally the last Adam as the savior of all mankind came, for salvation is of the Jews.

Therefore we ought to make the gospel of Christ known: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the 
Palestinian Arab. Let us pray to that end.
