“OCTOBER
7th … A DRESS REHEARSAL … WHAT!!!?” “OCTOBER
7th … A DRESS REHEARSAL … WHAT!!!?”
So we are
all watching our TV’s as a written
statement from Hamas is read out, which says
“October 7 is just a dress rehearsal.”
Incredulously
shaking our heads, we say “What’s
wrong with these Arabs? Don’t they love their children, wives and
fellow
Arabs?”
(Answer:
I’m sure they do, but their hatred for
Israel is greater.)
I mean an Israeli
general has just come on
and said “Israel will now deliver the mother of all thumpings to
Hamas!”
But those
who know the Bible are not surprised … all
because of Esau’s perpetual hatred toward Jacob … it may have
started out as
“ancient” but has now become present, continuous and on-going.
It is not
an enmity, hostility, rivalry, opposition
or episodic state of mind, but pure hatred.
Here
is the word of the LORD spoken by the prophet
Ezekiel 2,600 years ago, against Esau (the Arabs, Mt Seir,
Hamas,
Hezbollah, Iran, UAE, the so called present day ‘Palestinians’… which
they are
not … and supporters thereof, all the Arab nations) … as follows …
“Moreover
the word of the LORD came unto me,
saying, Son of man (Ezekiel),
set thy face against mount Seir (descendants
of Esau), and prophesy against it, And say unto it, Thus saith the
Lord GOD;
Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out
mine
hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate. I
will lay thy
cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt
know that I
AM THE LORD.
Because
thou hast had a PERPETUAL HATRED,
and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of
the sword
in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an
end:
Therefore,
as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare
thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith (since
and with) thou hast not hated blood, even
blood shall pursue thee. Thus will I make mount Seir most
desolate,
and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that
returneth. And I
will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills,
and in thy
valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are
slain
with the sword. I will make thee PERPETUAL DESOLATIONS, and
thy
cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I AM THE LORD.”
(Ezekiel
35:1-4,5-8,9)
How did
this come about?
When
Jacob, God’s blessed people of Israel (Romans
9:7-10,11-13), had their exodus from Egypt, its chief enemy, Esau, sought to
wipe
them out altogether … siding with all other nations intent of wiping
them out.
As
the Bible states, it was Esau that had the
inheritance of Isaac, the land, but gave it up for a meal of lentils
(Genesis
25;29-31,32-34). Jacob didn’t hate Esau as such, but simply deceived him as
he was
covetous (1 Samuel 15:23) … it was from that time on that Esau,
and
the Arabs, had his, and their perpetual hatred toward the
Jews.
Jacob
(Israel) deceived Esau (the original
Arab), but Esau has had a PERPETUAL HATRED toward Jacob since
then.
What
do all the versions say? How far short do they
come in meaning?
“
… perpetual enmity …” (Amplified) … “enmity”
is not “hatred” but an active opposition
or hostility … something that man should be able to fix up you think …
thereby
giving hope.
“
… perpetual enmity …” (Roman Catholic edition of
the Revised Standard version)
…
once again, “enmity” is not “hatred” but an
“active opposition” or “hostility’ … something that man should be able
to fix
up you think … thereby giving hope.
“
… indefinitely lasting enmity …” (Jehovah’s
Witness New World Translation) …
“indefinitely
lasting” means an “unspecified period
of time” … this means it could get fixed up tomorrow or next week or
next year
… … something that man should be able to fix up you think … thereby
giving
hope.
“
… Israel’s constant enemy …” (Good News) … an
“enemy” will have active opposition or
hostility or may not have hatred … and “constant” means remaining the
same over
a period of time … and continual meaning not continuous … … something
that man
should be able to fix up you think … thereby giving hope.
“
… you hate my people …” (The living Bible) … this
could last a week or two … … something that
man should be able to fix up you think … thereby giving hope.
“
… everlasting enmity …” (New American Standard) …
NO! …
the perpetual hatred of the King James Bible, of
the Arab to Israel, will come to an end after the thousand year
millennial
reign and the new universe will enter into the day of God (2 Peter
3:12) … so
this enmity, not hatred, will not be everlasting.
“
… ancient hatred …” (New King James) … NO! …
“ancient” is not “perpetual” … with the former
giving hope that a man-made solution could be found. “Perpetual” means
“ancient” PLUS on-going, continuous with no let up.
“
… ancient hostility …” (New International
Version) … “ancient”
misses the meaning and a “hostility” is not a “hatred”.
So
Dear Reader, all the versions give hope that a
man-made solution may be found with peace conferences, treaties,
“cease-fires”
and such like.
The
King James Bible says otherwise … there will be
no peace until the Prince of Peace comes back (Isaiah 9:6).
To
end this perpetual hatred of the Arab to the
Jew, only God can do this.
How?
The
rapture of Christians being caught up will be
the first step … and the rest will be history … as they say … prophetic
future
history.
The
wheels have been in motion since Jacob deceived
Esau and God is the only one that can bring all this to his end … MAN
CAN
NOT!
Lesson:
ONLY THE KING JAMES BIBLE BRINGS OUT THIS MEANING
of perpetual hatred … not some watered down terms of the versions that
attempt
to give man some hope for a solution of his making.
All
the ‘bible’ versions give hope to the LIE
that man can solve the Middle East impossible gordian knot.
