God’s Promises to Israel

God promised Abraham that out of him would come a great nation. God is not going to let that nation be destroyed. In Jeremiah 31:35-37 God said something very important about the nation of Israel. In this passage God tells us that one of three things must happen if the nation of Israel is to be destroyed. If none of these three things happens, then the nation of Israel will never be destroyed and will never stop being a nation. Let’s see what these three things are:

1) The day-night cycle must be stopped (Jeremiah 31:35-36). God is saying, “If you want the nation of Israel to stop being a nation then you must find a way to stop the day from coming after the night and stop the night from coming after the day.”

2) The heavens must be measured (Jeremiah 31:37). God is saying, “If you want the nation of Israel to stop being a nation then you must be able to tell Me how many stars there are in My Universe.” Even if men build bigger and better telescopes, do you think they will ever be able to see all the stars in the universe? ______

3) The foundations of the earth must be searched out (Jeremiah 31:37). God is saying, “If you want the nation of Israel to stop being a nation then you must be able to dig a hole to the center of the earth.” Will man ever be able to do this? _______

God will not break these promises to Israel! If the enemies of Israel want to be successful, then they need to find some way to stop the sun from rising, they need to start building much better telescopes, and they need to get busy digging to the center of the earth! The Jews do not need to worry. Their future is quite safe!

God is not going to let that nation be destroyed.

God has already allowed it to happen twice before. Any argument based on “God won't allow it to happen” is demonstrably false. The prophecies given in the Bible will be fulfilled in the fullness of God's time, not yours. Which may (or may not) mean Israel will have a third catastrophe, and a fourth and a fifth, before the prophecies are fulfilled. God's call, not mine, not yours.

As for Bible predictions, I've been predicted at and quoted at since the 1950’s, with the assurance at that time, and every decade since then, that it would all happen within a few years, a decade at the very most. Yet here we are. And your prediction that it is imminent is more accurate than all theirs, why exactly?

To repeat myself: the prophecies given in the Bible will be fulfilled in the fullness of God's time, not yours or mine.
