God has Plans for the Land of Israel!
On September 23rd, Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Palestinian National Authority, asked the United Nations to accept his request for statehood.
If the United Nations accepts this request, Mr. Abbas plans to create an official homeland for Palestinians in the regions known as the West Bank, Gaza Strip and a portion of East Jerusalem. On the other hand, the nation of Israel and the United States of America have their own plans to try and negotiate a solution to the disagreement regarding who has rights to this land.
Whose Plans are best? Students of the Bible will know that despite the best efforts of mankind to play politics, God Himself has his own special plans for the land of Israel.
Isaiah 2:2-4
Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say,“ Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and rebuke many people; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.,
As you can see by the scripture above, God plans to create a center of learning in Jerusalem (Zion). That learning center will teach everyone about God and his ways. The effects of this teaching will be so dramatic that it will put an end to war!
