I was truly blessed by the message shared by Pastor Dave during our worship service last Sunday. The message was centered on the Israel-Islam conflict and how Psalm 83 prophesied about this very event that rattles the whole world today. This conflilct is not only about religion nor political issues, but a family feud (because of spiritual rejection) that grew into deep hatred as generations passed, which traces back from the time of Jacob (Israel) and Esau (Edom - from where the line of Islam came from). However, even in all of this, our God is still sovereign. He allows this conflict to continue so that His chosen people (Israel) will turn to Him once more for refuge and salvation and know that Jesus is the Messiah. He has a plan for Israel and though it's sad to know that they have to suffer like this, still God will not abandon his people. As for the Moslem nations, we need to continuously pray that the hatred blinding their eyes and hearts will be removed so that would come to know who the TRUE GOD is.
Let's pray for the situation in the Middle East. But let's especially pray for Israel. For once Israel returns to God and will acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Messiah, then we'll see our Father in Heaven again.
I would like to share with you this link to help you at least grasp what Psalm 83 says (turn up the volume). I hope you will be blessed as I was.
Have a blessed day ahead!
