I was only a young man of just 18 years of age when I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as being my saviour and deliverer. At that time I had accepted the son of God who had come upon the earth in the form of a mortal man to save us from our sins. Also at that time I had barely began to read the Bible.
As such, I was almost completely unaware of the general meaning of the majority of the Bible prophecies. Also at that time, I was also unaware that the son of God came here to the earth as a Jew. Moreover, that he had walked in the Holy Land which later on became the land of Israel.
Next month there is a very strong possibility that Israel is going to be divided up into two to make way for a separate Palestinian state?
Knowing that now is of a small relevance, or any concern to me at all. Even if I had known that was going to be the case all of those years ago it certainly would not have affected my decision to become a Christian. Just as I am sure that it does not affect the decision of the millions and millions of others who have decided to become Christians?
Even if they had known at the time of that decision Israel was going to be divided up, which I am sure most of those who make a decision for Christ simply would not know, would that have affected what they had decided to do? I think not!
There are some who have been saying that as the son of God walked here on the earth as a Jew (there is no disputing that though) and that furthermore there is a Jew sitting on the throne in Heaven.
However, as Judaism is nothing more than a religion, that cannot be the case. Otherwise, it would seem that the Jews are held over in favour above all other creeds and races right throughout the entire world which cannot be so, or else God would be thought of as being partial, (or biased) towards the Jews only?
That is not to say because his son walked here on the earth as a Jew, there are some who have been quite fond of saying that even as God has given the land of Israel over to the Jews to keep forever, he has also given a very severe warning in his scriptures about dividing the land of Israel up into two portions.
However, that is a statement that I simply cannot be in agreement with.
Additionally, some are saying that following that decision there is going to be an horrific world war in which there are going to be enormous casualties on both sides. They say there are several Bible verses which suggest that this is going to be the case. Nevertheless, in saying this I am not referring to the battle of Armageddon.
However, is this fact alone only the order of sequence of events for the fulfilment of the Bible prophecies, which has nothing at all to do with Israel being divided up?
After all, given the current state of the world economy the solution to the world's financial woes has always been to start a world war to get things going again? That has nothing at all to do with Israel being divided up into two portions.
Additionally, if there were a world war that starts after Israel is divided up then this can be nothing more than what has been suggested above, just the order of events, and really nothing much more than that at all?
