Have you ever thought about what would happen to your faith if Israel was destroyed or became a state like South Africa is today and the world kept turning and history was still made?
“Have you ever thought about what would happen to your faith if Israel was destroyed or became a state like South Africa is today and the world kept turning and history was still made?”
A laughably asinine question. I mean, just out of curiosity, have YOU ever thought about what would happen to your smug certitude if what YOU believe, as a basis for living, turned out to be utter crap?
Basically, the “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob” has staked his own reputation and the reputation of His Word on the fact that He can and will keep Israel as a nation before Him forevermore.
IN OTHER WORDS, He’s saying if he can’t or doesn’t do THIS VERY THING, then He is not the God who knows all, the beginning from the end and the situation is not as he says, that there is NO OTHER GOD besides Himself.
SO, you’re right in that if he does NOT do as he says, he is not God as He says He is and how He describes Himself.
NOW ... thus far, from the time of Creation to now ... He has done everything that He said He would. So, if you’re asking me if he will continue doing so on the remaining things left ... I’ll say YES according to his track record thus far! ... :-) ...
One additional thing, too ... for other Christians, if God can’t preserve Israel (is unable to do so, because of things He cannot control) ... He will not be able to fulfill his promise either for Ressurection.
