Ezekiel 28:25-26

Israel Gathered in Security
“Thus says the Lord God: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered and manifest my holiness in them in the sight of the nations, then they shall dwell in their own land that I gave to my servant Jacob. And they shall dwell securely in it, and they shall build houses and plant vineyards. They shall dwell securely when I execute judgments upon all their neighbors who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
God used Cyrus as a tool to do this, he also has done this other times, and in 1948 God restored Israel as a nation. But it took many years before we had a President who moved our Embassy to Jerusalem. On, December 6, 2017, President Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and stated that the American embassy would be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Today we once more see Israel in a war with evil people who want to destroy the Jewish people. We see foolish college students wanting the nation destroyed, and we see the foolishness of the country that has allowed the migration from the Middle Eastern nations to poison their thinking against Israel.
This we do know that God has spoken and a time is soon coming when Israel's Messiah will return and set up His kingdom in Jerusalem. And all of Israel's enemies will live in peace with them.
Let us end this paper with a promise God made to Abram before God Changed his name to Abraham. "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. (Genesis 12:2-3) And our God is a promise, Keeper.
