While many of us are planning our summer vacations, the situation in the Middle East seems to be deteriorating daily. Are we seeing the fulfillment of Zechariah 12:3, the prophecy that predicts the day when all nations will turn against Jerusalem? Certainly not the United States, Israel’s best friend in the world!???
President Obama’s public call for Israel to retreat to its 1967 borders is shocking. A return to pre-1967 borders would mean that Israel would be just nine miles wide in the middle of the country . . . nine miles from the Mediterranean Sea to the border with a Palestinian state! Jerusalem would again be divided and Israel would be forced to withdraw from the Old City, losing sacred ancient holy sites like the Western Wall. It is just unthinkable, especially for us who believe that God’s promise of this Land to the Children of Israel is irrevocable and eternal.
