Zionism, Palestine and the 'Freedom Movement'
https://theindependentalliance.org/7th-october-2023-the-day-that-the-freedom-movement-died/
We are seeing such polarisation these days. There is division among groups which were united on the subject of mRNA Covid-19 injections, and even on the subject of the Ukraine-Russian War. These are now saying that Israel is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of Gaza in order to push its own economic and energy interests, vis à vis the Ben Gurion canal from the Red Sea, through the Negev desert, via Gaza to the Mediterranean gas fields - with lucrative potential in the European market.
What is apparent though, is the fact that many in the so-called 'Freedom Movement' have no
spiritual/Biblical understanding - and are therefore themselves not free. Without God's perspective, people will always
be divided - and one group will always seek to create division in another. God
has always used evil people to bring about His own purposes, and if, without
spiritual understanding in specific situations, we oppose them 'in the flesh' -
ie. in our own activist strength and wisdom, we might well find ourselves
acting against what God wants.
Matthew 16:23, 26:52-53, John 19:11
The 1917 Balfour Declaration situation came
about as a result of a mixture of things. This pretty balanced article explains
some of the strands, but it leaves out the spiritual component. https://www.fpri.org/article/2015/01/origins-and-evolution-of-zionism/
In Britain, there was a considerable amount
of support among Bible-believing Christians for the Zionist idea. They saw it
as the beginning of the fulfilment of Biblical prophecy. The 19th century
author George Eliot was one of the most influential, with her brilliant book, 'Daniel Deronda' -
(the protagonist is a man who doesn't know he's a Jew, but whose life events draw
him towards supporting the idea of Jewish nationalism).
Then there were Bible
preachers and Christian writers who spoke and wrote about the fulfilment of
prophecies about the return of Jews from the Diaspora to the Promised Land, as
a precursor to the Return of Jesus.
It was British Christian Evangelicals (born-again Christians) - who came from
the cradle of the 17th and late 18th and early 19th century grass-roots
spiritual revivals, (ignored and pooh-poohed by the majority) who not only
changed Britain's social situation (eg. emancipation of slaves, factory acts, prison
reform, education for the poor) but were looking at Biblical prophecy and
praying for its fulfilment (even people like Sir Isaac Newton wrote about it -
a fact which Christians have known for years, but which is only now being
realised by the mainstream media).
There are many non-Christians in the Freedom Movement today who reject Israel, because they know that the Rothschilds et al financially supported the early Zionist movement. They also supported Britain's war effort. Chaim Weizmann, a Zionist bio-chemist, discovered the use of the bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum (the Weizmann organism). This, when fermented, produced acetone, a key substance in cordite, used to manufacture explosive propellants critical to the Allied war effort in the First World War, giving it the edge over Germany - in return for which Britain passed the Balfour Declaration). These Jews, who can figuratively be called the 'Synagogue of Satan' (Jesus' own words in Rev. 3:9) originally a group of Jews persecuting the early Christians in the ekklesia (congregation) in Philadelphia Asia Minor, are anti-God. Their god is money/Mammon - and arguably, they have links to modern Luciferian worship.
Many of them are bankers (names like
Warburg, Rothschild, Loeb, Strauss, Goldman-Sachs, Fink, Schiff etc) - many of
them support and have historically supported BOTH sides in world wars and
revolutions. Other wealthy Jews support US presidential campaigns. I was amazed
to discover how much Trump was supported by such individuals, for example. On
the other side, there are evil people like George Soros supporting Leftist
agendas and the Democrats; Soros's son, Alexander, has now taken over the reins
of his Open Society Foundation empire.
With all of these movements, God's perspective is invisible - because it’s only seen by those who have NO agenda of their own, and are not emotionally sucked in to support one side or another. Even those who claim to be lovers of Israel all too easily end up supporting Jews against Palestinians, because they believe that because God has allowed Jews to come back to Israel, the nation as such, can do no wrong.
The Bible is
clear about the fact that God will bring back His people to the Land, (Psalm
126:1); “restore the fortunes of Jacob” (Nahum 2:2; Isaiah 49:6); “show favour
to Zion” (Psalm 102:13), Isaiah 2, Jeremiah 31, Ezekiel 36. The prophets agree
that Israel’s last-days restoration would be 2-phased:
1. A physical return to the Land
2. a spiritual return to God
- that
is, Israel would return to the Land in unbelief for the purpose of
coming to belief.
Israel might well be involved in ethnic cleansing in Gaza - for all the above reasons – and they are unaware of God's plans in the background - and are only after their own agenda. On the other hand, those who support Hamas are complicit in calling for the murder of Jews, the appalling abuse and exploitation of Palestinians, for political reasons and the eradication of the State of Israel, which God has allowed to be reinstated for HIS own purposes.
