JESUS told His disciples:
Matthew 10:22
King James Version
22 And ye shall be hated of all men
for my name's sake:
but he that endureth to the end
shall be saved.
In this 22-minute video, it was noted that Israel is losing its public relations war with social media.
Does it matter so much how the world perceives Israel?
Doesn't she answer to GOD alone?
Hasn't the world made up its mind about Israel already?
Sure, there's an information war going on against Israel.
But ought she be surprised?
She was never loved, except by GOD.
And many don't care for the LORD.
Many have gone astray, as well.
Satan has done his work in distancing man, from GOD.
And the Jews have always been the enemy's favorite target.
CHRIST's enemy is known by this name, too:
Ephesians 2:2
King James Version
2 Wherein in time past
ye walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh
in the children of disobedience:
In this world, Satan lords over the "air waves".
That's legacy/old media for you.
Forget justice, and fairness.
He spews his lies, and deception.
What greater attack than towards Israel?
You can know who is for GOD, by the work they do.
It they set information right about besieged Israel, you'd know they're for CHRIST.
And that they honor the Jews.
Who's really gotten terrible "publicity" these days.
We imagine Satan foaming in the mouth, as he attacks Israel, through his many minions.
Is it any surprise?
Acts of desperation, folks.
Revelation 12:12
King James Version
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens,
and ye that dwell in them.
Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea!
for the devil is come down unto you,
having great wrath, because he knoweth
that he hath but a short time.
Let's not be surprised, this hatred for the Jews.
"Bought" media will never acknowledge the atrocities of October 7.
Expect no support, nor sympathy.
Expect no real understanding.
JESUS knew that, from the beginning.
JESUS is a Jew.
He knew what He was up against.
Especially He wanted to redeem His people.
JESUS warned His disciples:
Matthew 10:22
King James Version
22 And ye shall be hated of all men
for my name's sake:
but he that endureth to the end
shall be saved.
But He also declared:
John 4:22
King James Version
22 Ye worship ye know not what:
we know what we worship:
for salvation is of the Jews.
Apostle Paul puts things in perspective, too:
Romans 1:16-17
King James Version
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:
for it is the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth;
to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God
revealed from faith to faith:
as it is written,
The just shall live by faith.
Gentiles who attack Israel have no idea their salvation is inextricably linked with unbelieving Jews.
Romans 11:15
King James Version
15 For if the casting away of them be
the reconciling of the world,
what shall the receiving of them be,
but life from the dead?
Romans 11:31
King James Version
31 Even so have these also now not believed,
that through your mercy
they also may obtain mercy.
Romans 11:28
King James Version
28 As concerning the gospel,
they are enemies for your sakes:
but as touching the election,
they are beloved for the father's sakes.
Anyone who cannot see the suffering of Israel -- attacked on seven fronts outside, and one from within -- has got to have bought into Satan's deception, and illusion.
And yet, tiny Israel survives all that onslaught.
Not just because she is brave, smart, and has great survival skills.
It's primarily because she is GOD's chosen nation:
Deuteronomy 7:6
King James Version
6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God:
the Lord thy God hath chosen thee
to be a special people unto himself,
above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 7:7
King James Version
7 The Lord did not set his love upon you,
nor choose you,
because ye were more in number than any people;
for ye were the fewest of all people:
Isaiah 43:21
King James Version
21 This people have I formed for myself;
they shall shew forth my praise.
In its simplest analysis, all that GOD loves, Satan hates.
And the latter is hell-bent on Israel's total destruction.
As if that would ever occur.
There will ALWAYS be a REMNANT.
If you're born again, you'd know Israel is loved by GOD.
What, then, should Israel do, in the midst of all this hatred, and misinformation?
JESUS waits for her to do one thing:
Matthew 23:39
King James Version
39 For I say unto you,
Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say,
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
The LORD waits for Israel to acknowledge He is the MESSIAH.
That He has come, and will come again.
At the moment, Israel remains "blind".
But it is for GOD's perfect purpose.
Romans 11:25
King James Version
25 For I would not, brethren,
that ye should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest ye should be wise in your own conceits;
that blindness in part is happened to Israel,
until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Romans 11:32
King James Version
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief,
that he might have mercy upon all.
Romans 11:30
King James Version
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God,
yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
In these end times, Israel must acknowledge JESUS as the Messiah.
It's the only way she can have peace.
She must also focus on these:
John 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
Colossians 3:1-2
King James Version
3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.
1 John 4:4
King James Version
4 Ye are of God, little children,
and have overcome them:
because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world.
Israel ought to be relieved she is not loved by the world.
1 John 2:16
King James Version
16 For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
She must not be concerned how the world paints her.
It's all "cosmetic", these things of the press, and media.
(And let's not forget whose payroll they're on.)
One day you're loved.
Another day, you're deplorable.
One day you're "hot".
Another day, you've become old news.
So, do you create some new controversy?
Do you want to keep feeding the vulture mill?
Do you want to be famous, or infamous?
Do you believe in "any news is better than no news"?
Does it matter what the world thinks?
Can you correct such thinking?
Why would you want to be part of such insanity?
With rampant digitalization of media, expect more unfairness.
Now, anyone, and everyone can spew their "two-cents" worth.
And it was never about honoring GOD, or His chosen nation.
Forget monitoring what the world thinks of you.
What does GOD think of you?
Remain with CHRIST, Israel.
Acknowledge your LORD!
Be not perturbed with the world.
Know its true nature, as well as that of man.
Lose no sleep
over how you are perceived.
There is no truth in that, and in the world.
It's all subjective anyway.
Why be caught up in it?
Cultivate a SOUND mind -- care for CHRIST instead.
Believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
The world is insane, and will remain so, until JESUS returns.
