Yes, I said 1967 lies, not 1967 lines. President Obama today totally and shamelessly moved the United States of America into direct violation of Joel 3:2, the consequences of which will bring fearful calamities on America. I am not making this up. He proclaimed this seismic shift in US policy, at a time when this nation has suffered six weeks of continuous tragedies already, including two rounds of killer tornadoes, fires in Texas and now flooding in the Mississippi River and delta. I use the word seismic with great trepidation since earthquake is the one natural disaster we have not seen. To quote Thomas Jefferson, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.
Let’s look deeper into Joel 3:2. I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.
First, note that the historical timing of this event is clear from verse one; it is after God has regathered Israel from all the nations into their own land. The reason for the prophesied judgment of God is simple. The nations have divided His land.
Israel is now 45 miles wide; the entire country is only 45 miles wide! Reverting to the 1967 pre-war borders would make Israel 8 (EIGHT!) miles wide. What is wrong with this picture? President Obama has agreed to the Palestinian pre-condition demanded by Yassar Arafat. This division of the land would assure Israel’s destruction by the growing menace of radical Islam surrounding them. With friends like President Obama, who needs enemies?
Abbas, leader of the West Bank Palestinian Authority, wrote a New York Times Op-Ed wherein he rewrote history. He openly lied about history claiming that Israel attacked the Arabs in 1948, when the facts are utterly clear from recorded history. The UN voted Israel as a nation one day and the next day seven Arab armies invaded Israel to drive her into the sea. Three of those nations are still in a state of war with Israel since that time. Egypt and Jordan, who later made treaties, are about to break them.
The world is also rewriting the history of 1967. Again, Israel was drawn into war by invading armies. When the dust settled, Israel had a miraculous victory and control of more land (Gaza, West Bank, the Sinai and the Golan Heights). President Obama thinks it is a good idea for Israel to give it all back so they can try again. Either way, there will be war. Obama’s speech simply moves up the timing.
Helen Thomas was wrong. The Jews will not “go back where they came from.” There is no other place for them. Israel is their land and they are there to stay, not by UN permission, but by the authority of Almighty Yehovah God and His unbreakable promise.

(Dear reader, I have included the following text as evidence of God’s purpose This prophecy was spoken by God to the Land itself! This was the theme of my first book, Prophesy To The Land!)
“And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Yehovah! Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Because the enemy has said of you, ‘Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession,’ therefore prophesy, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Because they made you desolate and swallowed you up on every side, so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations, and you are taken up by the lips of talkers and slandered by the people”— therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yehovah! Thus says the Lord Yehovah to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, the valleys, the desolate wastes, and the cities that have been forsaken, which became plunder and mockery to the rest of the nations all around— therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Surely I have spoken in My burning jealousy against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who gave My land to themselves as a possession, with wholehearted joy and spiteful minds, in order to plunder its open country.’
“Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, and the valleys, ‘Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and My fury, because you have borne the shame of the nations.” Therefore thus says the Lord Yehovah: “I have raised My hand in an oath that surely the nations that are around you shall bear their own shame. But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are about to come. For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings.Then you shall know that I am Yehovah.Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, My people Israel; they shall take possession of you, and you shall be their inheritance; no more shall you bereave them of children.”
‘Thus says the Lord Yehovah: “Because they say to you, ‘You devour men and bereave your nation of children,’ therefore you shall devour men no more, nor bereave your nation anymore,” says the Lord Yehovah. “Nor will I let you hear the taunts of the nations anymore, nor bear the reproach of the peoples anymore, nor shall you cause your nation to stumble anymore,” says the Lord Yehovah.’ ” Ezekiel 36:1-15.
Before I read your post I read a transcript of what Obama said and my reaction was to put it on my facebook page and I commented “Whenever heads of states go against Israel bad things happen to it. Do a study of the history of this. You will be shocked. This isn’t so much about Israel than it is about the the authority of Yehweh the Lord God to give land on this planet to whom ever he righteously pleases. Honor God almighty and give back to Israel all the original borders He gave to Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. Get ready if you can world. ” Man ” in his arrogant humanism and rejection of The One Truth Jesus/Yeshua and His Holy Word handed down from the people of Isreal will land himself in a very uncomfortable place.”

Brothers,
We will stand with you until the last. Do not lose hope for all of our hope is in the God of Israel. A little while and the last offenders will be dealt with by God Himself for it is a fearful thing to fall in the hands in a angry God.
Many have come before and though these are days of great trial Israel will one day very soon see the open hand of the God of Israel.
Israel is being processed by God Himself. O’ you Israel “Return to the Lord you God”.
God is no longer interested in you playing with your pet sin which so easily besets you. He is calling all Israel to a life of holiness.
Repent and turn back to the Lord your God and you will see His great deliverance in your land.
Man is not your deliverer. The Lord your God is His name. Return, O’ Israel and see His Great deliverance.

I’d like to preface my comments by saying that there are many things I don’t know. So I’m asking. I am curious why we think God is still interested in giving Israel that land, when Jesus didn’t seem to think it was very important, even going as far as foretelling its destruction. Never mind that in many ways (not all, not everybody), it seems to me that Israel as we know it today is very little like the nation it was called to be – righteous and separated to God – doesn’t it look very much like the rest of the world?

Thank your for your two great questions. Actually, Jesus said He came only to the lost sheep of Israel, but sent His disciples to all the world. The basis for the Land promise rests not on Israel at all, but on God’s immutable promise. This is quite clear in the literal reading of Ezekiel 36, the first half of which is a prophecy to the Land, not the people. It even includes God raising His hand in an oath of promise. Therefore, the fulfillment depends not on Israel’s behavior, but the faithfulness of the One Who promised. In the second half of the chapter God declares five times that Israel profaned His name everywhere they went and thus His promise was not for their sakes, but for His holy name’s sake. He is the God Who keeps covenant “even to a thousand generations”.
God finishes the chapter explaining that at the end, He will change the hearts of His people Israel, forgive their sins, sprinkle clean water (Holy Spirit) on them and heal their land. Prophecy elsewhere declares they will return to the land before their hearts turn back to God. So, it is true that they want to be like other nations, but this is about to change. Jesus declared that He is the only way to the Father; therefore I believe that Israel will ultimately forsake pitifully looking to the US for salvation and recognize that Yeshua is the Messiah. We must not blindly support every decision of the Israeli government, but look to the purpose of God, and support the decisions that line up with God’s promises.
