1/1/2017. No Peace?

Raina, Istanbul. Western-Turkey.

Our New year has started off with the murder of thirty-nine people celebrating the new year? What ever name we have for Al-Quaida, they are showing us that they have no intentions of stopping?

America did deals in Syria with groups who they did not bother to check out, they did the same in the Ukraine and called it Freedom? But if one has learned anything from history, we should know that alliances come and go!

This was the same problem ancient Israel had in the bible, when they gave up on the God who had delivered them from Egypt and went their own way!

Psalm 81:10-14,  Exodus 20:2,  1 Kings 15:19,  Luke 10:6,  Romans 5:10,  Colossians 1:20.

Palestine. Part-One.

Is there really such a place and are there really a race known as the Palestinians?

Up to 1948 the Arab peoples who lived in the Holy Lands or what we call today modern Israel, would have described themselves as Egyptians or desert Arabs, Bedouin. But kindly to the British rulers from the fall of the Turkish Otteman Empire in 1919 to 1948 and their occupation of the region, they became jealous of the Jews and encouraged the Arabs to identify themselves with the ancient Philistines. Thus they encouraged division and are continuing to do that to this day with the international idea, that the only solution will be a two state one.

When we come to read the bible, if we believe it?  We will very soon discover that God has other ideas about the land and His promises to His people Israel.  Genesis 24:7, Romans chapters 9-11.

The word Israel is mentioned 1854 times in the whole bible, 1728 times in the Tanakh/Old Testament and 128 time in the New Testament. I was not able to find any references to Palestine, funny that?
