Good evening, I’m still reporting on SR 1257 – Why the U.S. Must Continue to Support Israel. Good afternoon, I’m still reporting on the roots of the US struggle against Islamic terrorism, and why US support for Israel is a must. Those who have followed this channel for many years may have noticed that I try to stay out of the gunfire lane between those who support the Palestinian cause and those who support Israel. Why, because the arguments just become so complex, you could waste away your entire life trying to figure out if Israel’s latest response to a bunch of Palestinian knife attacks was justified or was it too much? There is no human way to divine the truth of which side, on a particular day, is right. So, on the ground level, there is no way to figure it out. But on the macro level, it’s not hard at all. In Genesis 12, verses 1-3, God provides his blessing on Abraham: Now the Lord said to Abraham, “Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you; and I will make a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing; 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 shall be blessed.” At this time, Abraham lived in Ur, [http://www.flickr.com/photos/lubinski/] the ancient city of Mesopotamia. Its ruins lie halfway between the modern city of Baghdâd, Iraq, and where the Euphrates River runs into the Persian Gulf. His destination was the land of Canaan – approximately the borders of modern-day Israel, including the West Bank. [insert, attribution: by ] So, Abraham – at age 75 - hit the road with all his family and herds – for Canaan land. Once in Canaan, Abraham fathered a son at age 86. His first-born son was named Ishmael, but since his wife, Sarah thought she could not conceive, Ishmael was born by Hagar, the Egyptian handmaiden of Sarah. Ishmael became the father of all the Arabs. God told Abraham that he would make a great nation from Ishmael, and he would make him a great warrior, however, God also said that Ishmael’s hand would be against everyone, and everyone’s hand would be against him, and that he and his descendants would live in hostility to the rest of the world and he would settle to the east of Canaan land – that is today’s Saudi Arabia. And that is certainly what we see today. Islam is certainly the avowed enemy of all western nations. But remember, God made it clear that Ishmael was a part of His overall plan, it’s just that Ishmael would not inherit the promised land – that would go to Isaac, Abraham’s next son, born when Ishmael was 13. The next year, Ishmael and his mother Hagar were ejected from the family in favor of Isaac and sent to the lands of the east – basically what is now called Saudi Arabia. Ishmael was the first person to speak pure Arabic – mostly descended from an ancient form of the Aramaic language. Ishmael bore 12 sons, who became tribal chiefs. He died in Mecca, Saudia Arabia, in 1774 BC. 2,344 years later, the prophet Muhammad was born in 570 AD - a direct descendent of Ishmael. But now back to the descendants of Abraham’s other son, Isaac. About 200 years after Isaac’s birth, his son, Jacob moved the clan into Egypt due to a severe drought in Canaan – about 1880 BC. At first, the Egyptians welcomed the Jews, but soon they worried that through their hard work the Jews could end up taking over, so they enslaved them. After 430 years of slavery, Moses fled Egypt with all the Jews who then fought their way back into Canaan by 1398 BC. God reaffirmed the exact boundaries of Canaan to Moses in Numbers, Chapter 34, and reaffirmed his blessing on the Jews in Numbers Chapter 24. The bottom line is that to most Christians, this is clear Biblical teaching and as long as America continues to bless Israel, then God will continue to bless America. And when – or if – America ever turns its back on Israel, God will curse America. Bill Still is a former newspaper editor and publisher.
