Israel is surrounded by enemies

Wheel of misfortune - Nation/Politics - The Washington Times, America’s Newspaper: “The law of unintended consequences continues to throw up more consequences that were not intended. Israel is now boxed in between three pro-Iran entities (Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas) and two pro-al Qaeda terrorist groups — Hezbollah that is dominant in Lebanon to the north and Hamas that now controls Gaza, the size of Washington, D.C., to the south.

Both are sworn enemies of the Jewish state. Hamas, a radical offshoot of Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, first rose to prominence by planning and executing the first intifada against Israeli occupation in 1987. Like Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas also runs welfare services for the poor, which in Gaza is almost the entire population of 1.5 million.

In 2006, Hamas startled the world and frightened Israel by winning legislative elections and seizing control of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its ministries. It refuses to deal with Israel and shares the conviction of Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Israel’s demise is preordained.”

It all sounds rather prophetic to me. Does any sane person think that all these enemies will allow Israel to live in peace if Israel just gives up some more land so that more terrorists can dwell there?

There is an additional point I would like to make, notice that Israel’s enemies love to fight each other. If Israel would trust God they will see his solution. That also is ultimately prophetic but probably not in the soon to arrive next war.
