2014, The Year for Middle East Peace Part 2: Aliyah or A Lie?

In the words of historian Howard Zinn, "History is always a matter of taking sides."[i] The late Columbia University English professor Edward Said added, "Facts get their importance from what is made of them in interpretation."[ii] Arguably, nothing lends itself more handily to their brand of postmodernism than mere mention of the word, “Israel.”[iii]

As Socialist International designates 2014 the Year for Middle East Peace, the anti-Israel crowd details her “long record of terrorism, even against the United States.” For example, in 1954 the Israeli government purportedly plotted to blow up American installations in two main Egyptian cities and, then, projected blame onto Egyptian nationals. Once the failed Lavon Affair was uncovered, the Israeli Defense minister Pinhas Lavon resigned over the incident.[iv] 



Thereafter, in 1967, Israel is said to have purposefully attacked the USS Liberty, an American Naval vessel patrolling near Egypt. Although the U.S. Secretary of State and Navy Chief Admiral blamed Israel for deliberately striking, the powerful Zionist Lobby ostensibly prevented a formal Congressional investigation.[v]

Even biblical depictions of backslidden Israel are disparaging. For example, mourning the wayward ways of Israel and Judah, the prophet Hosea characterized them as idolatrous and adulterous harlots, rebels, transgressors, liars, murderers, stealers, and scorners. He further likened them to “silly doves without hearts.”[vi] In New Testament times, Jewish leaders actively sought ways to kill Jesus.[vii]

Precisely because of wayward ways, God drove Israelis from their land, thus rendering them homeless among the nations—yet He lamented, “Oh, how can I give you up, Israel?”[viii] 

The answer: He cannot and will not.
Israel, Friend or Foe?

Why should people of faith embrace the unfaithful,[ix] those who are manifestly distanced from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Why even call them “God’s chosen (literally, ‘called out’) people”?[x] The answer is simple. Even in their obstinacy,[xi] God loves them. He longs to gather His own as a hen musters her chicks.[xii] By foreknowledge, He sees many returned to their homeland and turned to follow Him.[xiii] Then, they will “blossom like the lily” and “send roots deep into the soil.”[xiv]

To bless Israel is to be blessed. Through her, all the peoples of earth will be blessed.[xv] For instance, Americans owe a debt of gratitude to Haym Salomon, George Washington’s banker from Philadelphia. In the most desperate hours of the American Revolution, this Orthodox Jew appealed to fellow Jews for financing and, without note or interest, committed his personal fortune to the Continental Congress. Doing so qualified Salomon as “Financier of the Revolution.”[xvi]

Clearly, not all Jews are hardcore Zionists, “banksters,” or conspirators any more than all Muslims are suicide bombers. While Jews join the ranks of world-order opportunists, the one-world movement (which predates Abraham[xvii]) is by no means an exclusively “Jewish agenda,” as some suppose.[xviii]

Notably, God works for good in all things.[xix] Case in point: Christ’s enemies counted the crucifixion as their victory, but the resurrection proved otherwise![xx] Similarly, despite nefarious world-order politics and illegalities surrounding the nation’s founding, or thereafter, believers rightly celebrate the miracle of Israel[xxi] as demonstration of “the holiness of God’s great name”[xxii] and His faithfulness to Abraham’s progeny.[xxiii]

Even through fallen humanity, God never fails to work for good. With or without blind eyes and deaf ears, the Jews were created for God’s glory,[xxiv] for His name’s sake,[xxv] and for redemptive purposes.[xxvi] Throughout nineteen-plus centuries of the diaspora, God wondrously preserved unto Himself a faithful remnant. Ultimately, His “called-out ones” will look upon Him whom they have pierced and tearfully accept their Messiah as Savior and Lord.[xxvii]

God is Not a Man That He Should Lie

In the Old Testament, no Hebrew word corresponds to “promise.” Instead, “word,” “speak,” and “say” are used. Accordingly, God’s word is unbreakable; in fact, “it is impossible for God to lie.”[xxviii] Therefore, believers can trust the over 700 last-day scriptural references to God’s gathering His seed in “their own land, which He gave His servant Jacob,” and believe for God’s blessings outpoured through them.[xxix]

Ezekiel prophesied God’s taking back, gathering, and cleansing the diaspora. “All Israel will be saved”[xxx] and led down “a level path.”[xxxi] Living in the land God gave their forefathers,[xxxii] she will be His people and He, her God.[xxxiii] Moreover, God will equip Israel for Kingdom work—i.e., future erection of the fourth Millennial Temple, return of shekinah glory, and salvation of “all Israel.”[xxxiv] Prophetically, the generation that witnesses Israel’s reestablishment as a nation—specifically, the “boomer” generation—will not pass away until the whole of Christ’s Eschatological Discourse is fulfilled.[xxxv]

Repatriation of the Diaspora[xxxvi]

Scriptures allow primary and secondary applications with both literal and figurative meanings. For example, references to “national” Israel (as a people and/or land) point in type to spiritual Israel (New Covenant, “called out ones”). By Old Covenant command, male Jews were circumcised in the flesh (type), which act found greater, spiritual fulfillment in New Covenant believers’ having circumcised hearts (antitype). Both truths apply.[xxxvii] 

To the contrary, Replacement Theology insists that God is done with Israel and has permanently replaced her with the church, but this is not so. In response to the question, “Did God reject His people?” the apostle Paul exclaimed, “By no means! God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew.” Indeed, gentiles are charged with the task of repatriating (not supplanting) the diaspora.[xxxviii]In assisting the aliyah, gentiles take their part, along with Jewish pilgrims, in fulfilling God’s prophetic plan.

[iii]  Israel means “princes or prevailers with God,” as pertaining to national Israel (under Old Covenant law) and spiritual Israel (under the New Covenant—some Jews, as Paul; others, Gentiles). Israel is used to designate the son of Isaac (Jacob) or his descendants, the twelve tribes of the Hebrews. It refers specifically to the nation’s ten northern tribes, as opposed to Judah in the South.

"Speak kindly to Jerusalem” … “that her iniquity has been removed” (Isaiah 40:1-2). The prophet Ezekiel announced that God will take back, gather, cleanse, and put in a new heart/ spirit inclined to follow His decrees and laws. They will be His people, and He their God (Ezek. 36:24-28).

[xiv] Hosea 14:1-9

[xv] One need only consider the debt of gratitude Christian Gentiles owe the Jews, who pretty much had God to themselves thousands of years before Gentiles were grafted in. These owe their faith and very salvation to the Jewish lineage of Jesus Christ, a Torah-believing, feast-observing Jewish rabbi. Moreover, against all odds, and through brutal sufferings, Jews accurately recorded the Scriptures. Attested to by discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, they exceled as faithful custodians of the oracles of God.

    This is indeed a carefully crafted article by some one that knows how Bible translations can be used to suit a particular viewpoint.

    There are some fundamental errors in some assumptions. Unless the author never reads books or facts about the state known as Israel, she must be aware of the facts about some realities.

    One has to actually read both parts of the article to understand why certain words are interpreted the way they are.
    It is obviously to try and create a favourable picture about Zionist Israel.

    The context of the word Eretz in Ezekiel 38:12, for instance, must be seen as the centre of the region, not of the whole world.

    The vast majority of Bible readers have very little discernment and take at face value what they read and what is explained to them by experts.

    If the Bible and especially prophecies were so easy to understand, why did the Judeans (Jews) in the time of Jesus not recognise Him as the one mentioned in the prophecies about Messiah?

    Before I go further, want to affirm that I also believe that the descendents of Abraham ("SEED" Gen 12:7) are entitled to the land as proposed in the article. It is precisely at this point where my opinion starts differing from that of Debra Rae.

    After the Romans destroyed Jerusalem in 70AD, a substantial number of Judeans (Jews) must have remained in the land.

    Many of these "Jews" held on to their religion and many must have converted to Christianity.

    Many of these Christians and Jews lived peacefully among the Arabs. The arrival of Islam had complicated matters somewhat, but Mohammad gave clear instructions that Jews should not be harassed.

    Christians had it much more difficult, but even they were not harmed as long as they did not try to convert Muslims to Christianity.

    Historians do not clearly explain what happened to the "Jews" and where they went. We are told that the Romans expatriated the leaders, but no other Jews. I am not talking about the so-called lost tribes: Jesus knew their whereabouts when he sent forth the Twelve (Mat 10:5-7).

    In 2001, Dr. Ariella Oppenheim, a biologist of Hebrew University, published the first extensive study of DNA and the origin of the Jews. Oppenheim discovered that the Palestinians—the very people whom the Jews had been persecuting and ejecting from Israel’s land since 1948—had more Israelite blood than did the occupying Khazar Zionist Jews.

    Some of the Palestinians even had a DNA chromosome which established that they were “Cohens”—workers at the ancient Temple and synagogues of the Jews.” – Quote

    Her research found that the majority Zionist Jews came from Khazar blood. The Khazars were a Turko Mongol nation living between the Caspian Sea and the Black sea. (https://sites.google.com/site/derickwrite/khazar)

    By picking randomly I will use two examples of fundamental errors.

    The first one is the statement about Iran building or trying to acquire a nuclear bomb. The CIA says there is no such thing; it only exists in the disturbed mind of mr Netanyahu and the military industrial people who desire a war.

    The other well-known fact is that the "870,000" Jews who supposedly fled to Israel from Arab lands should be laid squarely at the door of the criminal activities of the Hagannah and Mossad. Read the book “Ben Gurion's Scandals” by Naeim GILADI. Giladi's Jewish family lived in Iraq for 2000 years and he has an interesting story to tell.

    You might also want to read "The Life of an American Jew in Racist Marxist Israel" by Jack Bernstein.

    Gilad Atzmon is another Jew who decided that he couldn’t live with the criminality any longer.

    The Zionists have murdered many Jews because they revealed the truth about Zionist criminality.
