You Would Think

“I will… gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; they have also divided up My land.”  (Joel 3:2)

Revelation arrives in the heart, and with it comes a supernatural elevation of God’s wisdom—greater insight into the matters about which we pray and seek the Lord. Divine wisdom converts even the shallow thinker into someone capable of greatness.

Concerning God’s eternal plan for Israel and the Jewish people, many know the Lord has set His love upon the Jew, and His protective hand is firmly on Israel and her beloved city, Jerusalem. His judgment is decreed for any person or nation causing division of the Lord’s land, any division of Israel and Jerusalem. 

The Lord says the land is His—Israel is the Lord’s land. The strength of the bully opposing His plan is already broken—every eye will see an end to torment inflicted by this bully. The bully’s strength is contained within words that damage, but in this deliverance season the time has come for the bully to be dealt with on his own gallows.   

You would think nations and their people would see the Lord’s hand on Israel and grasp His ancient declaration that Israel’s land cannot be divided. When human hearts harden against God’s plan, the ability to reason is diminished. The resulting danger cannot be overstated. 

Stepping away from the Lord’s plan opposes truth—God is Truth. Compare such opposition to truth to when truth is known. When instead of opposition to truth, we steward truth: “’Buy truth and do not sell it, also wisdom and instruction and understanding.”

For Israel and all those who choose the Lord’s side, the Lord both goes ahead of you and is your rear guard; your righteousness blazes a wide, supernatural path, one which God’s glory guards from behind. Wisdom and the reverential fear of the Lord guard your mind and deliver you from the bully! Every oppressive and controlling voice grows silent, dumb. Hallelujah!

Stay on the Lord’s side. His truth is marching.

Amen.
