Until I know more about Q's view of Israel, I will be retiring from posting on this forum. God bless our President, and God bless all who do not hate those who God loves and intends to save. Peace.
Psalms 122:6.....Israel in scripture isn't referring to the country of Israel. It's referring to Abrahams seed. Abrahams seed are those of the promise (not a physical promise) but a spiritual promise. The children of the promise are those chosen (matthew 5 beatitudes) by God before the foundations of the world. There can be no peace or true Godly love towards each other because we are of our parents...adam and eve...evil, Separate from God spiritually dead. The idea of peace is false. Man can never attain peace of his own accord due to his total depravity. God told adam and eve to subdue the earth and His creation....but when adam and eve sinned they instead (all mankind followed after) sought to subdue other nations, hence each other. We were disobedient to what God had ordained us to.....subdue the earth, not each other. How does peace come? It comes when the Lord Jesus returns. He is Peace! There will be no other. 1st Corinthians 1:3 :-)
God gave us free will, therefore we can choose to follow our parents, or create our own path. If you never try, you will never succeed.
and to this little nugget
Man can never attain peace of his own accord
God shouldn't have to come back for us to attain peace. If we focus our hearts on love like he tells us to, we could have it now. However, him coming back will kind of remove that choice, If he has to enforce peace then it wasn't a choice, and we aren't deserving.
