US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled a peace plan today. We have seen this many times. Presidents and others propose peace. People wave flags. We all hope. Right? But do the people who oppose Israel want a deal? Do they want a little more land? It seems what they want is for Israel to not be there.
I believe only God can bring peace because it will require a change of heart, a complete and lasting transformation of all the souls looking at this and thinking one thing to suddenly think and believe and uphold something else entirely.
In 2018, Trump did something no other President could (would) do and that is to move the American embassy to Jerusalem. I found it encouraging and unexpected. I suppose I had grown accustomed to things being impossible. It gave me hope. Maybe this is also not impossible.
What do you think?
I am a Trump supporter and I am a God supporter. You are right about God giving peace and that is what we need!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chatty!
DeleteI alo believe only God can bring peace.
ReplyDeletePresident Trump showed indeed much courage and boldness by moving American embassy to Jerusalem.
If God wants, everything is possible.
Thank you, Duta. I think you may be the only blog follower I have in Israel. Here I am writing about it, but you are actually there and this effects you immediately. Keep us informed! :-) Blessings
DeleteI'm thankful for what President Trump is doing. I stand by him and I stand with Israel. I'm not sure there will be peace though. I agree that they just want Israel gone.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mari. God bless Israel.
DeleteI pray for peace - God will do it at just the right time...we have to keep the faith. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDebbie, thanks! I think so too, at just the right time. I wonder when that will be.
DeleteNothing that happens in this world would shock me anymore. I do hope it works.
ReplyDeleteHow about something good? 馃槃 Ha ha...maybe something good will happen and, honestly, I think that would shock me!
Deletehope and pray for peace dear Sandi
ReplyDeletei believe that lord will be taking care of all his beloved men!
Thank you, Baili!
DeleteThe countries around Israel want them away, only God can save them.
ReplyDeleteOnly God. Not us. Not Trump. Only the Creator of it all.
DeleteI do not get mixed up in politics as a unit, but I can change my heart condition to be a god in myself and live according to what Jesus taught and share with other people about the role in our Lord Jesus' life.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Agnes. I am not sure I understand what you meant. Do you mean we can only control what is in our own hearts, our own attitude? I think so too. God bless you!
DeleteHi Sandi,
ReplyDeleteI believe God uses 'fire to fight fire' and I believe He is using Donald Trump to do things which others would not do. When I think of the Spiritual thing that is going on Isaac and Ishmael come into my mind - children of two different mothers - one Egyptian and one Jewish (one of the world and one of the Spirit)
Thank you, Brenda. It is like seeing the same story over and over.
DeleteGod brings peace to people, but people do not want to see it.
ReplyDeleteI hope they will this time.
DeleteGod is going to take care of Israel, I don't think He'll let them be destroyed and dispersed again. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, Ps. 122:6.
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteI am a Trump supporter too and appreciate what he has done. I also think God will take care of Israel.
ReplyDeleteAmen. Thanks, Henny Penny.
DeleteWe know that God is in control, and we pray for Israel every day. Thankful for our President at least trying hard to do what is right on their behalf. God is using him for the good of Israel. In God's time, things will happen that will complete the prophecies in His Word concerning them. We just have to trust God and be patient and wait.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pamela. So true!
DeleteHope is always the thing we hold fast to.
ReplyDeleteFor peace among people.
To tread lightly and live with nature.

DeleteI pray for peace in this beautiful holy land!
ReplyDeleteYes! 馃槉
DeleteI admire Trump, he's a business man first, politician second, he has created a starting point for negotiation, a new neutral ground to work from. I have high expectations for a solution in the Middle East and think God will use him well in this.
ReplyDeleteHopeful...
ReplyDeleteI have to speak up for the suffering of the Palestinian people. There is wrong and suffering on both sides. This peace plan did not include the Palestinian people. I pray for peace and justice for both sides, but I think it will be a long time coming.
ReplyDeletePraying for peace for all.
DeleteSandi,
ReplyDeleteI think Trump is leading our country in the right direction. Something that hasn't happened for a long time. But, will there be peace on this earth? I don't believe we'll have a true peace because humankind is imperfect. We will not know everlasting peace until we reach the shores of Heaven. That being said, I am more hopeful for tomorrow.
Thanks,
DeleteCathy.
Praying for peace for all...
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Nothing is impossible with God. In His time . . .
ReplyDeletePraying for peace. And God's grace.
"Nie potrzeba wam, bracia, pisa膰 o czasach i chwilach. Sami bowiem dok艂adnie wiecie, 偶e dzie艅 Pa艅ski przyjdzie tak, jak z艂odziej w nocy1. Kiedy bowiem b臋d膮 m贸wi膰: «Pok贸j i bezpiecze艅stwo» - tak niespodzianie przyjdzie na nich zag艂ada, jak b贸le na brzemienn膮, i nie ujd膮. Ale wy, bracia, nie jeste艣cie w ciemno艣ciach, aby 贸w dzie艅 mia艂 was zaskoczy膰 jak z艂odziej. Wszyscy wy bowiem jeste艣cie synami 艣wiat艂o艣ci i synami dnia. Nie jeste艣my synami nocy ani ciemno艣ci. Nie 艣pijmy przeto jak inni, ale czuwajmy i b膮d藕my trze藕wi! Ci, kt贸rzy 艣pi膮, w nocy 艣pi膮, a kt贸rzy si臋 upijaj膮, w nocy s膮 pijani. 8 My za艣, kt贸rzy do dnia nale偶ymy, b膮d藕my trze藕wi, odziani w pancerz wiary i mi艂o艣ci oraz he艂m nadziei zbawienia. Poniewa偶 nie przeznaczy艂 nas B贸g, aby艣my zas艂u偶yli na gniew, ale na osi膮gni臋cie zbawienia przez Pana naszego Jezusa Chrystusa, kt贸ry za nas umar艂, aby艣my, czy 偶ywi, czy umarli, razem z Nim 偶yli. Dlatego zach臋cajcie si臋 wzajemnie i budujcie jedni drugich, jak to zreszt膮 czynicie"

Tak w艂a艣nie si臋 stanie i my艣l臋, 偶e ju偶 wkr贸tce. 艢wiat jest ju偶 bardzo zepsuty, a B贸g zapewni艂 nas o swoim przyj艣ciu. I przyjdzie ...

Delete"You don't need brothers and sisters to write about times and moments. For you know for sure that the Lord's day will come like a thief at night1. For when they say: "Peace and security" - suddenly destruction will come upon them as well as pain on a pregnant woman and they will not escape. But you, brethren, are not in the dark so that the day will surprise you like a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not sons of the night or darkness. Let us not sleep like others, but let us be awake and sober! Those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 And we who belong to the day, let us be sober, clad in the armor of faith and love, and the helmet of hope for salvation. Because God did not destine us to deserve anger, but to achieve salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that we may live with him or live with him. Therefore, encourage each other and build one another, as you do. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
This is what will happen and I think soon. The world is already very broken, and God has assured us of His coming. And he will come ...
