Shalom,

Amos 9:13-15 contains one of the promises of God for the nation of Israel:


  13Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine and all the hills shall melt [that is, everything heretofore barren and unfruitful shall overflow with spiritual blessing]. 14And I will bring back the exiles of My people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards and drink the wine from them; they shall also make gardens and eat the fruit of them 15And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be torn up out of their land which I gave them, says the Lord your God.

Israel was again declared a nation in 1948 and the Jewish people have been returning to the Land from every corner of the world since that time! This promise says that when God brings them back, they will never be removed again! It is not only fruitless for all of these nations to come against Israel, it is very dangerous for them to come against God's people! When someone comes against God's people, whether it is the people of Israel or the Church of Jesus Christ, they are actually coming against the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible! I would NOT want to be in THEIR shoes when God decides to judge THAT! YOU don't want to either! They are NOT perfect, just as WE are not, BUT they are HIS! Bless them and BE blessed! Amen! Here is an older song called "The God Of Israel Is Mighty". The lyrics are below.


The God Of Israel Is Mighty 

The God of Israel is mighty
The God of Israel knows no defeat
He leads His people into battle
Before Him His enemies must flee

Chorus
Cry out with a shout of victory
Lift your voice all the earth
Sing and dance
At the triumph of our King
For He has won the war
And spoiled the enemy


The God of Israel is our champion
His right arm has got the victory
Our praises rise as incense before Him
He fights for us and routs the enemy

Shalom in Him!
