God Will Save Zion (Israel)

By Stephen Yulish

All of us that love Israel (Zion) are troubled as we see her enemies poised to attack her. We see the new little Hitler, President Ahmadinejad of Iran, call for her annihilation. We see Syria poised near the border on the Golan Heights waiting to attack. We see Hezbollah preparing on the Lebanese border and Hamas fomenting disorder in Gaza. The United Nations constantly chastises Israel as does Putin of Russia, Solana of the EU and even the Pope. Israeli Prime Minister Olmert continues the failed policy of giving away Israel’s birthright in hopes that it will pacify the enemy. It will not. Even the United States, her staunchest ally, is unwilling to move its Embassy to Jerusalem and still tries to resurrect the road map to destruction even though it will never work because the Arabs do not really want peace. They want to drive the Israelis into the sea. It would end the thorn in the heart of their relatively newfound Muslim Holy Site of Jerusalem and prove that Muhammad and the Koran were indeed correct in stating that the Jews would not return to that region. As it stands today, the Bible has instead proven to be correct and the Jews have returned to the land that God promised them as a legacy forever.

I am going to cite scriptures from the Sepher Tehillim, the Book of Praises, the Book of Psalms which show that God will not forsake His firstborn people. Not because they deserve this protection because they have indeed sinned and rejected Him but because He made a promise to them and God is not a liar. We all should be thankful for that because we all too continue to sin but God promised that all who call upon his Name shall be saved. And God is not a liar.

“For God will save Zion” Psalm 69:35

“For the Lord has chosen Zion. He has desired it for His habitation. This is my resting place, forever. Here I shall dwell. I will abundantly bless her provision…Her priests, I will clothe with salvation and her godly ones will sing aloud with joy… Her enemies I will clothe with shame but on them crowns shall shine” Psalm 132:13-16, 18

“Let Israel be glad in his Maker…For the Lord takes pleasure in His people. He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation” Psalm 149:2, 4

“He sent upon them His burning anger, fury and indignation and trouble. A band of destroying angels” Psalm 78:49

“May all who hate Zion be put to shame and be turned backward. Let them be like grass upon housetops which withers before it grows up “ Psalm 129:5-6

The Apostle Paul best summarized the fate of Zion, Israel.

“I say then, God has not rejected His people has He? May it never be! … God gave them a spirit of stupor… I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall did they? May it never be! But by their transgressions salvation has come to the Gentiles to make them jealous… Do not be arrogant, remember that it is not you that supports the root but the root supports you… a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, The Deliverer will come from Zion. He will remove ungodliness from Jacob. And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins …for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” Romans 11:1, 8, 11,18,25,26, 27, 29
