Now that Hamas has been defeated, there is discussion about “the day after.” However, let us take a step back and look at the big picture. First, in Gaza, Israel will stay and insure safety and demilitarization. There is no turning back to terrorist control. It’s over. Israel won!
But God has a master plan of regathering all the exiles of Israel from all over the earth, with a few million more to come. It is happening every day, but what about “the day after” the return and restoration? What will Israel look like then? Here are just a few of His promises after they returned, highlighted in bold from Jeremiah 31.
“Hear the word of Yehovah, O nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shepherd does his flock.’ For Yehovah has redeemed Jacob and ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he. Therefore, they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, streaming to the goodness of Yehovah. For wheat and new wine and oil, for the young of the flock and the herd; their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, and they shall sorrow no more at all.”
“Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old, together; for I will turn their mourning to joy, will comfort them, and make them rejoice rather than sorrow. I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says Yehovah.” Jeremiah 31:10-14
This is quite the list – Gather, keep, redeem, ransom, sing, well-watered soul, no sorrow, rejoice in dance, abundance, and satisfaction with God’s goodness!
While in the heat of battle and intensity of attacks, remember the God of Israel. Christians worship the same God Yehovah. There is personal application for us also, as we discern great fear, distress, and dread hanging over America like a cloud. Even for us, in spite of the election pressures, God is on the Throne. He has a purpose and promises for believers personally and also for our nation. Do we deserve His judgement? Of course we do. However, He may not quite be finished with our nation. I pray for His mercy, not justice. I don’t want to get what we deserve. I pray that we will be a sheep nation who remains faithful to Him at the last. Let us be merciful with the character of our loving Father God.
“For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.” James 2:13
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and victory over her enemies. And remember to VOTE THE BIBLE!
