To the “Christians” who seem to think they were put here to criticize Israel a question—What makes the current state worse than the Israel of antiquity? What did they have, maybe a couple of Kings God called good? God did not choose the Hebrews because they were good, just, or obedient.
Modern Israel is exactly like it was in the Old and New Testaments. They, like you are lost absent faith in Christ. The fact is Israel exists in the modern world because God said it would. Are we supposed to put our faith in the actions of nations and their governments? God forbid!
These are the same people who sent men like Saul out to search out Christians to persecute and kill before his encounter with God on the road to Damascus.
God made a covenant with Abraham and promised him a land, and a Messiah from his seed, God charged them with HIS Oracles. Christ called the leadership of His day a “Brood of vipers.” Herod ordered babies slaughtered to prevent the birth of the very Savior who was promised.
You expect Israel to be less evil than every other nation in history? My Bible warns there are none righteous, no not one. Nevertheless…
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people[a] should be kept alive, as they are today.” Genesis 50:20
For the skin worshippers, who stake all their identity on the immutable fact of the skin color you were born with, the types who insist the White man is somehow more evil than any other race. Those who teach the current Israelis are not in fact Biblical jews, but usurpers. You know, the ones who insist the Hebrews were Black, as were the Egyptians.
If you hold to those beliefs, like Herod, two Black Pharaohs ordered the slaughter of Black babies. Moses, who you teach was also Black, was born in spite of the Black Pharaoh’s best efforts, escaped and grew up a Prince of Egypt himself. Upon discovering his true origins, Moses ends up killing an Egyptian who was severely beating a Hebrew slave.
Would this be considered Black, on Black, on Black crime?
Exodus 1:
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
“And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;” Exodus 3:7
The Bible teaches the slavery the Egyptians inflicted upon their Black Hebrew brothers was so sever it utterly broke the Hebrews physically and spiritually. Joseph’s own brothers, sold him into slavery in Egypt, not unlike so many of the African tribes who sold those they conquered into chattel slavery during the Atlantic slave trade. In fact, you can't convince me the very real genocide waged on Christians in Nigeria today, is less evil than anything Europeans exacted.
What I am about to suggest next, is going to make the deceived head’s explode—Like with Joseph who saved his people during severe famine—Many Africans came to a saving knowledge of Christ due to their bondage. Indeed, what man meant for evil, God meant it for good.
I say this often to unbelievers who do not understand faith. Faith is not belief without proof, it is trust in God without the slightest reservation. In my case, it is a faith born from personal experience in my life as I struggle in my walk with God, and the evidence of Him doing everything He said He will do historically in the world.
The state of Israel is one of those things—God said it and it is so. I don’t freak out about the perceived, or actual sins of Israel anymore than any other nation in the history of the world. Man is intrinsically evil without regard to skin color, nationality or any other worldly distinction—We must remember Matthew 7:3, as well as John 7:24.
I'm not distraught over what the people of Israel are doing, any more than other nations, not anymore than what color Egyptians and Hebrews were, or are. If you not only believe in God, but also actually believe God—No group is more or less evil than another—So… be my guest, obsess on Israel—meanwhile, yours truly is watching what God is doing.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
