God Blesses and God Curses Nations

Do you want proof the Bible is the Word of Go od? Below is your proof. Do you want proof Israel is God's Heritage? Below is your proof. Keep in mind the Bible is the only book where God tells us the future in advance and the historical record bears the truth of God’s prophecies.

I have written several articles on this topic before but I thought it would be good to refresh ourselves on God's blessings and curses in regard to Israel. If you wish you can search in the archives for a more exhaustive list of incidents related to Israel. 

The early 1990s marked a surprising and sickening departure from previous U.S. and western policy towards Israel. Beginning with President George H. Bush, more and more political pressure was placed upon Israel to surrender their land to the Palestinian terrorists. 

Study carefully these dates and you decide.

1991 30 October - The Oslo Accord

President George H. Bush promoted and proudly signed the infamous Oslo Accord at the Madrid Peace Conference on October 30, 1991. The Oslo Accord was labeled a "Land for Peace" accord that demanded Israel award their land to the Palestinian murderers and terrorists in exchange for peace. The perverse Oslo proposition was simple: give us your land and we’ll stop killing you. 

1991 31 October - The Next Day – The Perfect Storm hits

A very rare huge storm starting in the north Atlantic, moving east to west (wrong direction for storms to move - although in the Bible, the Holy Spirit and history move east to west). This storm was so unusual and contrary to "mother nature" it was immortalized by the book The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger and later a popular movie. Amazon says of the book The Perfect Storm, "Meteorologists called the storm that hit North America's eastern seaboard in October 1991 a "perfect storm" because of the rare combination of factors that created it. For everyone else, it was perfect hell. In The Perfect Storm, author Sebastian Junger conjures for the reader the meteorological conditions that created the "storm of the century" and the impact the storm had on many of the people caught in it."

Interesting, one of the first places The Perfect Storm hit was Kennebunkport, Maine. Waves over 30 foot demolished the home of guess who – President George H. Bush, the instigator of the Oslo Accord.

Before proceeding let us clarify who truthfully owns the Gaza Strip and West Bank. God does. He calls it "my land." Joel 3 deals EXACTLY with this issue. The Lord clearly states in no uncertain terms, He will "plead" with the nations such as the United States that "scatters" Israel and "parts His land." That is as much the Word of God as John 3:16.And the Untied States is not exempt – "all nations" means "all nations." 

Joel 3:1-2
1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

 Charles Spurgeon preached a message on "The Judgment of the Nations" on July 12, 1885. Excerpts of Spurgeon’s message follows: 

There is a judgment also passing upon nations, for as nations will not exist as nations in another world, they have to be judged and punished in this present state. The thoughtful reader of history will not fail to observe, how sternly this justice had dealt with empire after empire, when they have become corrupt. Colossal dominions have withered to the ground, when sentenced by the King of kings. Go and ask to-day, "Where is the empire of Assyria? Where are the mighty cities of Babylon? Where are the glories of the Medes and Persians? What has become of the Macedonian power? Where are the Caesars and their palaces?" . . .
The omnipotent, Judge has not ceased from his sovereign rule over kingdoms, and our own country may yet have to feel his chastisements. What is there about London [or the United States] that it should be more enduring than Rome? . . . What are we? What is there about our boastful race, whether on this side of the Atlantic or the other, that we should monopolize the favour of God? If we rebel, and sin against Him, he will not hold us guiltless, but will deal out impartial justice to an ungrateful race.
(Charles Spurgeon, Judgment of the Nations, July 12, 1885)

Middle East scholar, Robert Horenstein spoke on Israel's disengagement from Gaza Sept. 21 at the meeting of the Golda Meir/Mitzvah group of Hadassah.

Horenstein stated, "If Israel does carry out this withdrawal, you will see the violence stepped up, because Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade will want to show their people that Israel is leaving as a result of their terrorist actions. They have already claimed Sharon's proposal is a result of their armed struggle. I believe that Israel is under a lot of pressure from the Bush administration. . ."
A Haifa University demographer, Arnon Soffer, has projected that by 2015 all of Israel, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank will be 60 percent Arab, and this would make it impossible for Israel to retain both its democratic and Jewish character."
(Jewish Review, "Disengagement could spawn civil, external violence")

At the Mideast summit in Jordan on June 4, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas took the first tentative verbal steps toward a peaceful resolution of their longstanding and bloody conflict. Under pressure from President Bush, Mr. Sharon pledged to begin dismantling some "unauthorized outposts" of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and Mr. Abbas declared for the first time that "the armed intifada must end."
(http://www.wcpeace.org/israel-palestine.htm)

Over the last week, emotional scenes of Jewish settlers being forcibly removed have dominated the television headlines. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has talked of how these have been the "saddest days" of his life, and the words "pogrom" and "dispossessed" have slowly slipped into the language of many newspaper reports. . .
The Palestinian Authority and the United States want the pullout to be the beginning of the "road map" peace process, meant to bring about an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.
(Fox News, "Israeli Troops Pull Resisters Out of Synagogue", Friday, August 19, 2005)

The Gaza withdrawal was backed by the U.S. government. Some Middle East analysts and senior Israeli politicians entirely attributed the evacuation plan to pressure coming from the American establishment. . . "I welcome the disengagement plan,"stated Bush immediately following the announcement of the Gaza evacuation. "These steps will mark real progress toward realizing the vision I set forth in June 2002 of two states living side by side in peace and security."

2005 August - Under U.S. pressure, the Jews are forceably removed from their land.

During the month of August 2005, with unparalleled pressure from the United States – dreaded D-Day came. Over 8500 begging Jewish settlers were forcibly removed from the Gaza Strip. I watched in unbelief as the Jewish people were crying and pleading to remain in their houses and land. The Israeli soldiers came and literally dragged them from their houses. At the orders of the United States and against the protests of the Israeli government, bulldozers came and demolished their homes. The land was then given to terrorists who celebrated and shouted, "Death to Israel!" 

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told BBC News, "Jewish homes in the Gaza Strip will be destroyed when Israel pulls out its troops and settlers. . . The view is that there are better land uses for the Palestinians to better address their housing needs," adding that the parties would "work towards a plan for destruction and clean-up."

After the Gaza Strip debacle, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice immediately began urging Israel to vacate the West Bank, "Everyone has compassion for what the Israelis are going through right now, but it can't stop with the Gaza Strip."

The hypocrisy and hostility towards the nation of Israel by the Bush administration is unparalleled in U.S. history. Violently removing the Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip, then giving the land to the terrorists and murderers of Israeli children equates to Bush giving Florida to Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. Why didn’t President Bush give Saddam Hussein the land of Texas instead of bombing Iraq? That would be more logical than demanding Israel to forfeit a strategic defense area of the Gaza Strip and West Bank to vicious killers that hate and kill the Jews.

2005 23 August

Israel completed the evacuation of the Gaza Strip and gave it to the Palestinians. The Gaza Strip evacuation came directly from President Bush's "Roadmap to Peace." 

As my wife and I watched the pleading Jews dragged from their homes and land, I said, "God is not pleased with this. Somebody’s gonna pay big-time for this. God might start destroying some homes and running some people out of their land."

And somebody did. . . And boy did they.

2005 23 August – the Same Day - Tropical Storm Katrina appears

August 23, a small insignificant tropical storm slowly appeared in the Atlantic below the Bahamas named Katrina. From her beginning meteorologists stated the U.S. had nothing to fear. Katrina packed little punch, plus the computer forecasts kept Katrina calmly corralled in the Atlantic. Defying the computer models, Katrina turned south-east, scraped the south tip of Florida and then with the vengeance of a runaway freight train Katrina took an unexpected turn into the warm Gulf Coast. Meteorologists tracking Katrina’s unusual path labeled Katrina one of history's most bizarre hurricanes. 

2005 29 August - Hurricane Katrina hits New Orleans

Katrina raced directly toward New Orleans, harnessing deadly strength every moment. Literally recording wind strength "off the scale" On Monday, August 29, the nation watched in horror as deadly Katrina slammed and slaughtered the fragile Gulf Coast. Destructive Katrina left beautiful homes as piles of worthless rubbish. Deadly Katrina tossed bodies like litter along the highway. When Katrina ended her deadly mission America suffered the worst disaster in her storied history. As I saw the thousands of homes destroyed, my mind kept going back to those U.S. ordered bulldozers destroying the Jewish homes in the Gaza Strip. As I saw the thousands and thousands of United States citizens being evacuated from their land, my mind could not keep from remembering the Jewish people crying and literally begging to stay in their land. America found no mercy for the Jewish people. . . 

With no mercy. . . Katrina completely "bulldozed" tens of thousands of homes. Katrina completely "evacuated" the celebrated city of New Orleans. Hundreds of thousands are homeless, helpless and hopeless. The greatest displacement of U.S. citizens in history occurred. Over 10,000 people are estimated dead. Over 400,000 jobs were wiped out. President Bush has requested $50 billion from Congress for the first round of Katrina’s expensive bill. Estimates put Katrina’s final bill – over $150 billion.

Most reporters described the aftermath of New Orleans worse than anything they’ve ever seen.

On 11 March 2011 Japan was struck with the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (photo above) that occurred after the 9.0 magnitude Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. This catastrophe occurred only 14 days before the reactor was to be shut down. Previously Japan had pushed Israel to stop building housing settlements in the West Bank.  

If America and the world continues to blatantly defy the Word of God
with their hostility and hypocrisy toward God’s Heritage, Israel,
buckle up. . . you ain’t seen nothing yet. 

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. . .
So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. Psalms 83:4, 15

I think it paints a pretty clear picture that God blesses those that bless Israel and curses those nations that curse Israel.
