Israel Shall Not Be Moved

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Why I know Israel wins in the end.  No one can drive them out of their land.  The Lord said He would restore Israel, and He fulfilled that prophecy on May 14 1948.  Once they are back, they will never leave again.

Jeremiah 16:14-16 

Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers.”

Therefore behold the days are coming: The previous word from Jeremiah was about as dark as could be, with God promising I will not show you favor in the land of their coming exile. Yet as if God could not help Himself, that word of despair is immediately followed by a wonderful and gracious promise.

 No more shall it be said, “The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt”: God’s deliverance of His people from Egypt was the central act of redemption in the Old Testament. Through the Passover celebration and in many other ways, God constantly reminded Israel of this great work.  

c. But, “The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them”: God made a remarkable promise – that there would be a new measure of His greatness and redemptive power. The new measure would be the return from captivity when God would bring them back into their land.

“The reference to ‘all the countries’ shows that the prophet was predicting a restoration from a general dispersion after the Exile.” After AD 70 the Jews were scattered unto the four corners of the earth.  No nation could survive that, however the Jews did!  Because of God.  A greater than Egypt may very well be pulling them back from all nations

God was so determined to fulfill His promise to a return to the land, He sent out fishers (to catch them) and hunters (to hunt them down) to return them to the land of promise. Even so far as the cleft of the rock. (Place of hiding and safety.)

No one could deny the greatness of the deliverance from Egypt, but the regathering was even greater.  Here God pulls them back to their homeland

Isaiah 43:5-6 God says I will bring your descendants from the East (behind the iron curtain), from the west (Western Europe & America), the North (following the fall of the Soviet Union), the South (Ethiopians Jews in 1991).  God brought His sons and daughters from the ends of the earth, to a land given to Abraham.  No people group could have accomplished this on their own.  But God…..

Why do I believe Israel will never be defeated, because they have returned and made the desert blossom like a rose.🌹 

 There is a valuable spiritual analogy here. The initial work of redemption in the life of a believer is great; but the restoring work of the believer – when God brings a chastened child of His out of a metaphorical exile and back into His favor and promise – this work may sometimes be regarded as even greater. This is the principle God revealed to Jeremiah.

None of us are too far gone that Jesus cannot restore.  Welcome home child, you belong in the Father’s arms!

Compromise

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

We always hear, or at least we used to hear about the art of compromise in politics.  There would be a debate and sides would be established and parameters set. In the end would come a time of give and take and, presto, a consensus would be established and common ground would be achieved.  I am not always in favor of compromise. Sometimes issues are so gravely important that one should stand their ground. Other times compromise provides a great way to give and take and ultimately meet in the middle for the common good.  For example compromise on life issues such as abortion will not happen for me. Spending on the military or amounts to cut from the federal budget are great examples of issues to compromise on. Unfortunately in our day and in the past 40 years the only compromise in Congress usually means conservatives or Republicans are the ones to give.  Democrats are always the takers. Vivid reminder of this is the deal Tip O’Neill and President Reagan worked out to in the 1980’s to cut the federal budget. O’Neil wanted to raise taxes and cut the budget later. Reagan agreed. Taxes went up and the budget was never cut. That my friends is how the Democratic party views compromise.

Never compromise with the enemy.  Are the radical left wingers my enemy, yes if they want to destroy America.  Killing babies up to and including birth, moving us to socialism, doing away with borders, raising taxes to destroy the country, taking our guns away and taking over our health care with medicare for all..making us a European country with death panels, then yes they are my enemy.  

I stand for the Constitution and freedoms that have been fought for.  I believe in the American way of life, nothing more nothing less. I will fight the left wing ideas and never compromise.  God save our republic. God Bless America the land of the free and the home of the brave. Never compromise your God given liberties.  Never ever give up the good fight of faith. Never! Ever!

Campaign Issue No. 2 Israel

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The second biggest issue for me is Israel. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East and has always been a friend to the U.S. We in exchange rely heavily on their support for our intentions in the region. I always want to vote for a pro Israeli candidate.

America is closely tied to the people and the land of Israel. The people of Israel consider 3 presidents as having been a type of Cyrus.

At midnight on May 14, 1948, the Provisional Government of Israel proclaimed a new State of Israel . On that same date, the United States, in the person of President Truman, recognized the provisional Jewish government as de facto authority of the Jewish state. The people of Israel consider Harry Truman as a type of Cyrus

When Ronald Reagan in 1987 told Gorbachev to tear down this wall, and millions of Jews behind the iron curtain were allowed to immigrate to Israel it was a moment of Biblical proportions. To this day Israel looks at Reagan as a type of Cyrus.

Present day President Trump is considered a type of Cyrus because he moved our Embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. A move promised by several U.S. Presidents, but never followed through with. Trump has been the most pro Israeli President we have ever had.

The Bible tells us that those who bless Israel, God will bless. I am thankful for that promise. I personally believe that part of our greatness has come from that strategic alliance between our great countries.

I will always vote pro Israel!
