Elisha Vision – Commentary

While you were celebrating the holidays, Israel made a momentous decision.

Israel Announces “Donald Trump Train Station” in Jerusalem  Israel Railways has decided to name the final stop on its soon-to-open high-speed Tel Aviv-Jerusalem line after US President Donald Trump. Israel Today

There is an outpouring of appreciation for President Trump because of his historic decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, along with moving the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The new high-speed train was supposed to end at the Central Bus Station, but will now end in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City (near the Roman Cardo, for you who have been to Israel).

“But that’s not all!” as they say in TV infomercials. The Trump name will likely appear on streets and parks as well. But before you criticize, consider that the Palestinians regularly and systematically name streets, parks and soccer stadiums in “honor” of terrorists.

Israel plans a Trump rail station as Trump-naming frenzy sweeps country In addition to the station, Trump-naming frenzy has swept across Jerusalem and Israel, where multiple municipal projects are expected to bear the name of the 45th President. CNN

“So what?” you may ask. Well, Israel’s response to Trump’s recognition reveals the reality of the deep connection between our two countries. The United States was indisputably founded on Judeo/Christian principles, in other words, the Bible. To feign neutrality is to deny reality. The Trump foreign policy is reality based. By taking leadership in the world regarding Israel, Trump assures the continued blessing of Yehovah God on our own land.

Yehovah had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.” Genesis 12:1-3

This is why I believe 2018 is a time of blessing and favor for the US, as I wrote in my blog last week. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain.
