The One-State Solution

Many of the world's "expert" politicians think that a two-state solution is the only solution that will bring about peace between the Palestinians and the nation of Israel. They want Israel to give the Palestinians some of their land so they can have their own country. It will NEVER work, and here's why.

First of all, neither Hamas nor the Israeli government want peace right now. Both sides in this Middle East conflict want the total elimination of the other. And, as if that isn't enough of a deterrent to peace talks, there is this fact. God does not want a two-state solution either.

Open up your Bibles to Ezekiel 37 and let's begin reading at verse 21...

"This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. 

That prophecy (highlighted in bold) was given to Ezekiel in 597 B.C. It was fulfilled in 1948, 2545 years later. God's Word never fails.

Then God told Ezekiel this:

"There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms." - Ezekiel 37:21-22

Why is there any question about this? It's almost like our politicians, many of whom CLAIM to be Christians, are not really reading their Bibles at all! Hmm. Strange . . . 

Why do we keep fighting against God and His will for us in this world? God has an answer to that question as well.

"Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’

“I have seen these people,” the Lord said to Moses, “and they are a stiff-necked people. Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.” - Exodus 32:7-10

If we would only listen and obey God we would not be having ANY of the problems that we are experiencing today.

I guess we are STILL a stiff-necked people. We should be praying for Israel, not condemning it. We are living in Satan's world, not the one God created for us. We will never learn.

But God will rescue us one day, and it will be soon. Only then will we know peace. Trust in Jesus today if you would like to experience that peace. "Repent, Believe, and forever Receive."

Oh, what a glorious day that will be!
