Ive been thinking a lot about whats happening in Gaza. God chose to give the Jews His revelation. They were and still are His chosen people. He has loved them and punished them for thousands of years. In Jeremiah 1:7, YaHWeH says to them around 600 BC: Reform your ways and your deeds, so I may remain with you. If each of you deals justly with your neighbor, if you no longer suppress the resident alien, the orphan, the widow; if you no longer shed innocent blood in this place...I will remain with you in the land I gave I gave your fathers long ago and FOREVER. Thats pretty damning for the Jews today. Because they are the apple of Gods eye (Zech. 2:8), and God promised to bless those who bless them and curse those who curse them (Gen. 12:3), we should pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they prosper who love you. (Psalm 122:6) Jesus told a parable of man who sowed good seed in his field. In spite of this, weeds grew amidst the wheat, and the servants asked him if they should pull up the weeds. The master answered, No, if you pull up the weeds, you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest. (Mt. 13:30) The reckoning will come. Not just for the Jews or the Hamas, but for all of us. God sometimes allows us to do as we please, but one day, we will be judged. The Jews rejected Jesus and His teachings. Let us pray that we will all get to know Jesus better, and follow Him, so that we will not be caught up in the Old Testament an eye for an eye mentality!
