Greetings dear saints and others and welcome to this special edition concerning Israel. In recent days as the just (as in justified or righteous) war in Israel is proceeding as it must I am once again seeing talk of a two-state solution from the government of the United States. This is the spirit of antichrist on full display, deep darkness, deception, combined with an astonishing ignorance and a gullible leadership and public. What I believe Stalin called the useful idiots. Scripture tells us that Israel is the “apple of his eye”, listen to the prophet Zechariah to gain instruction for us all.
Zechariah 2:8 (KJV)
8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
Israel and its eternal capital city of Jerusalem are constantly in the news. The two-state solution idea which is to subdivide Israel forming another country call Palestine which has never existed. Palestinians, the name Palestine, is derived from the Philistines. Ancient enemies of which Goliath was one and not so ancient who on the 7th of October executed an awful act of barbarism killing at least 1400 Israelites in the most cruel manners and taking over 200 persons hostage into Garza (ancient home of the Philistines).
“The word Palestine derives from Philistia, the name given by Greek writers to the land of the Philistines, who in the 12th century bce occupied a small pocket of land on the southern coast, between modern Tel Aviv–Yafo and Gaza.”

“Many Palestinians trace their collective ancestry to the Canaanites, and consider the concept of “Arab” to be pre-Islamic (including the Quranic and Biblical patriarchs).”

The idea of a two-state solution which dates back to about 1937 which is before Israel was again a sovereign nation. This idea is an anathema, an abomination to God and therefore should be the same to the whole body of Christ. Several recent U.S. Presidents have supported the two-state solution, even some who were professing Christians and should have known better.
First off let me make the point that the land of Israel is already parted or divided contrary to the title deed given the Jewish people by The Blood Covenant made with Abram (later Abraham).
Genesis 15:18 (KJV)
18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
As we can readily see from the map at the top of this teaching, modern day Israel does not even occupy 10% of the land given it by Almighty God so the countries involved in this deal are already under the judgment of God. Now there are countries, the whole world really, who are looking to part or divide Israel even further. Let’s take a look at God’s take on that.
Joel 3:2 (KJV)
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
I for one do not want to see America be one of the nations gathered into the valley of Jehoshaphat (Armageddon) where in the great judgment of the nations and the wrath of God blood will flow to a horse’s bridle.
Revelation 14:20 (KJV)
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Let us pray that America has no part in the parting or dividing of the land of Israel. We must not be a party to a two-state peace treaty. Between you and me, peace will never come to the Middle East and Israel, until the end of the Tribulation and the Second Coming of Christ. Our role toward Israel as individuals, as a Church, and a nation, is to bless Israel. That is not to say that Israel is always right but we must always have Israel’s back. Look at what God said to Abram along these lines.
Genesis 12:1-3 (KJV)
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. (Bold added by Dr. Wood)
So, you want to be blessed, bless Israel. There are two major ways that each one of us can bless Israel and that is with our giving (natural things – money), and with our prayer, speaking the Word of God over that people, that nation. The Blood Covenant was initiated with what is recognized as the first Jew, Abram, later named by God Abraham, and through that Covenant came Jesus to the Cross of Calvary to redeem all, Jew and Gentile alike.

2 Chronicles 20:20 b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
