Has the U.S. Turned its Back on Israel for Good?

U.S. Blocking Weapons to Israel?

Let’s make one thing clear, how you treat God’s people determines your future. This was spoken thousands of years ago in the book of Genesis.

Genesis 12:1

1 The LORD had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.

God gave the Jewish people the land of Israel. After punishing the Jews for their sins and dispersing them throughout the world, He miraculously gave the land back to them in 1948 after two thousand years.

Genesis 12:2-3

2 “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

God has, is and will bless those that bless his people. God will curse those who curse his people. This is something the world doesn’t seem to understand or want to learn from history. So let’s look at what is happening right now in politics. It’s actually something the main stream media (MSM) will not report on.

Since the current Obama administration has taken power, they essentially have placed an embargo on military equipment being shipped to the state of Israel. Most all major requests from Israel have been blocked. This includes advanced U.S. weapons such as AH-64D Apache attack helicopters, refueling systems, advanced munitions and data on a stealth variant of the F-15E fighter-bomber. Israel also requested shipment of 387 bunker buster bombs that could penetrate Iran’s nuclear facilities but the U.S. has blocked the delivery. Washington has also put a huge amount of pressure on the leadership of Israel to give up construction in Jerusalem and make unthinkable concessions to the Arabs. Michael Oren, Israel’s ambassador to Washington, has claimed the situation represented the worse crisis in US, Israeli relations in 35 years. The once great relationship between the U.S. and Israel appears to be failing quickly.

Since Israel became a nation on May 14th, 1948, the U.S. have been its greatest protector and friend. So going forward, if the U.S. continues down this path, God could easily lift His hand of protection on it. In the past, the U.S. congress has always been steadfast in supporting the only democracy and true friend in the Middle East regardless of how the president saw Israel. It seems that the majority in Washington are less concerned about supporting God’s chosen people and more concerned with their own political future.

How does this relate to bible prophecy?

Let’s look at a prophecy that talks about the state that Jerusalem will be in close to the time of the Rapture.

Zechariah 12:3

On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.

Israel today is surrounded by her enemies and Jerusalem has become a burden to all those that do not understand and trust in God’s words. All the nations that do choose to go against her will injure themselves. This has been the case since 1948 and will continue because it is written in the bible.

There will also come a time that Israel will stand alone against the armies of Gog. I have always struggled to see how the U.S. (Israel’s greatest supporter) could stand by and not lift a finger to help Israel in its time of need. But with relations becoming so strained, imagine if the Rapture occurred tomorrow. The great restrainer is taken out of the world along with those that believe in Jesus Christ. The only people left are those that have no love for Israel.

The relationship between the U.S. and Israel is extremely important and going forward, we must have the wisdom to elect leaders that understand that significance.
