The Peace of Jerusalem

"The LORD had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:1-3 (NIV)

Who is standing up for God's chosen people today? Israel is fighting for her right to exist: defending herself against her enemies--enemies who have stated that their purpose is to destroy The Jewish State. Democratic leaders in Europe have condemned Israel for doing what it needs to do to secure peace against a ruthless enemy--so ruthless that it hides behind it's own civilians to wage war. The government of the United States has always stood with Israel--are we standing with her now? Our leaders say they support Israel on one hand, yet they view them as the aggressor in this conflict with Hamas, an acknowledged terrorist group. My question is, "Where is the Church?" Why is there no outcry from Christian leaders? If no one else stands by Israel, the Church surely should! Have we bought into the news media's version of the truth? You don't have to dig very deep to discover that there is bias there. Are we afraid to align ourselves with what is right, even if it is unpopular? Even if we might be persecuted for our stand? Many American Christians think they are immune to persecution, but persecution is coming. WAKE UP! Do we fear God or man? Will we bless Israel or curse her?

"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: "May those who love you be secure." Psalm 122:6
