WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?
By Randy Loudenslager
Whose Side Are You On? This is an appropriate question considering the times. Israel's invasion of Palestinian communities to destroy their terrorist infrastructure and the confinement of Yassar Arafat within two rooms of his three story office building in Ramallah has stimulated the opinions of what would appear to be virtually everyone.
Have you chosen a side yet? Your choice will fall into one of four possible positions. The first is support for Israel alone. The second is support for the Palestinians alone. The third is somewhat supportive of both parties. And the fourth is that you don't have an opinion, or better said, you don't care.
If you find yourself in categories two, three or four then you are considered by God as an enemy of Israel and thus an enemy of God. It will be the enemies of Israel who God will annihilate on the plains of Megiddo (Armageddon) and the mountains of Israel. He will topple their cities and consume them with fire and storm. Get the picture? Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. Israel is the apple of God's eye!
God is a loving God, but He is a king and in fact He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords and a just king cannot allow rebellion to exist in his kingdom. We either serve him or we are against him. Joshua put it best when addressing the Israelites in the promised land. He didn't ask them who they would serve, he simply told them to serve whoever they chose but as for him and his household they would serve the LORD. Make no mistake God loves the Palestinians, but even rebellious children need to be punished. If they obey they too will share in the Father's inheritance. Too black and white for you? You will find no shades of gray in the Bible or with God. His will always prevails whether His creation thinks it is fair or not.
The people of this world are taking sides and most have chosen against Israel. Should this surprise us? Didn't the scriptures foretell these things? For those who choose to side only with Israel you are the majority in only two nations on earth, Israel and the United States. That will change soon.
God said he would send a delusion over the earth so that the world will believe the lie. It has come. It is time to take stock of your life and prepare to give an account to the one who made you. Jesus Christ is coming back and all who have rebelled against his kingdom will not be allowed into it. I look forward to the day that my LORD will say to me 'well done good and faithful servant.' Jesus Christ is coming back as a conqueror. Humble yourself before him, repent of your wicked rebellion against him and then serve him obediently. Do these things and you will receive His promise to raise you up on the last day.
