In conjunction with all of these events in nature I have also been aware of many news stories concerning the State of Israel.
Many world leaders including our own have come out in favor of a Palestinian State. On the surface this sounds good and I do not have a problem with the Palestinian people having their own country, but forcing Israel to "give" up land or be carved up is not right either. As I read the bias coming from the media, many world governments and all of Israel's neighbors most would seem to wish Israel as a nation and a people would just die and go away.
As I mull all of this information around in my mind one thought keeps popping into my mind, a Bible verse. That verse is Genesis 12:3 "And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." Now while God was talking to Abram in this passage in verse 2 He tells Abram that he will become a great nation. We now know that nation as Israel. Israel is God's chosen people and nation. I fully believe that God literally blesses those that stand with Israel and curses those that do not.
For the majority of the last 60 years the United States had stood by Israel, supporting her in numerous ways. Unfortunately in the past 5-10 years we have increasingly seen our Government not only back away from Israel but actually at times force them to act contrary to their best interest. Could the events and disasters occurring have any correlation to what is happening not only in the world but here in the U.S.? Could all of these disastrous events be the result of God following through with His promise to Abram? I am not a prophet or a great Biblical scholar but in my humble opinion many of these "natural" disasters are the beginnings of God removing His hand of protection.
