13 Reasons Why Modern Israel Cannot Be The Fulfillment Of Old
Testament Prophesies?
Credit: Bienchido
1. Israel's rejection of her Messiah sealed her doom.
“Oh Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! Behold, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT UNTO YOU DESOLATE. For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.'” - Jesus, Matthew 23:37-39
How can Israel be "restored in unbelief" (as many churches teach) if she was destroyed "for" unbelief?
2. Old Testament promises to Israel must be understood in light of New Testament interpretations.
Example: Acts 15:12-19
“The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them. When they finished, James spoke up: ‘Brothers, listen to me. Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles to take from them a people for his name. THE WORDS OF THE PROPHETS ARE IN AGREEMENT WITH THIS, as it is written':
"After this I will return and REBUILD DAVID’S FALLEN TABERNACLE. Its ruins I will
REBUILD, and I will RESTORE, that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, even all the Gentiles
who bear my name, says the Lord, who does these things known from long ago." [Amos 9:11]
'It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.'”
James applied the 'restoration of David’s fallen tabernacle' to Christ's church, not a restored Israel.
3. The Old Testament land promises were fulfilled in the days of Joshua and Solomon.
The Promise: “On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram and said, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.’” - Gen. 15:18
Fulfillment under Joshua: “And the LORD gave them rest on every side, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers, and not one of all their enemies stood before them; the LORD gave all their enemies into their hand. NOT ONE OF ALL THE LORD'S GOOD PROMISES TO ISRAEL FAILED; EVERY ONE WAS FULFILLED.” - Joshua 21:44-45
Fulfillment under Solomon: “Judah and Israel were as many as the sand by the sea. They ate and drank and were happy. Solomon ruled over all the kingdoms FROM THE EUPHRATES TO THE LAND OF THE PHILISTINES AND TO THE BORDER OF EGYPT.” - 1 Kings 4:20-21
4. The land that God gave to Israel—”forever and ever”—was conditional upon Israel’s obedience.
God warned: “…if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan, or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your own ruin, then I will let you live in this place, in the land that I GAVE TO YOUR FATHERS FOREVER AND EVER.” - Jeremiah 7:6-7
Israel disobeyed: “You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered Him.” - Acts 7:52-52
An everlasting covenant with a condition attached ("If you do not... ") is not unconditional.
5. The Likud Party governing Israel today are non-Semitic Ashkenazis, which are linked genetically to Eastern Europe and Russia, not the Middle East.
Non-Semites have no Biblical or legal claim to Palestine.

6. Contemporary Judaism, the chief religion of Israel, is based on the Talmud, not the Old Testament of the Bible. Prime Minister Netanyahu confirms, "... we will define in the law, the Gemara [the Jewish legal text that analyzes the Mishnah, together forming the Talmud] as a basis for the Israeli legal system."
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/180440
The Talmud is racist, xenophobic and supremacist. It sharply denigrates gentiles (all non-Jews) and insults Jesus Christ.
7. Modern Israel is mostly atheistic and agnostic, in contrast to Old Testament theism.
8. The founding of modern Israel in 1948 was not an "Act of God," but a theft of Palestinian lands by European Zionists, the US State Dept. and the United Nations. Israel's founding was also largely promoted by the footnotes of the Scofield Reference Bible.

9. The Hebrew genealogies were destroyed by the Romans in the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem, rendering any Jewish claim to Palestine impossible. (McClintock & Strong Cyclopedia, 3.771)

10. Israel regularly steals land from the Palestinians; their homes are bulldozed and many of their
women and children killed, in violation of various Old Testament post-captivity decrees, for example, Ezekiel 47:21-23:
“You are to distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. You are to allot the land as an inheritance for yourselves AND FOR THE FOREIGNERS RESIDING AMONG YOU and who have children. You are to CONSIDER THEM AS NATIVE-BORN ISRAELITES; along with you, THEY ARE TO BE ALLOTTED AN INHERITANCE among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe a foreigner resides, THERE YOU ARE TO GIVE THEM THEIR INHERITANCE,” declares the Sovereign Lord.”
11. Israel is a racist nation, in contrast to numerous Biblical prohibitions against discrimination, for example, Exodus 22:21:
"Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt."

12. Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel, is the 'homosexual capital of the world,' in contrast to many Old Testament scriptures prohibiting sexual perversion.

Israel spends millions of dollars promoting the LGBT community.

13. The Old Testament was superseded by the New Testament, and repudiates the notion that Israel today is "God's Chosen.” The New Testament refers to Christ's church as the “Israel of God” (Gal. 6:16), a “Chosen Nation” (I Peter 2:9), “New Jerusalem” (Rev. 21: 2) and the “Bride of Christ” (Rev. 19: 6-8). Old Testament promises fulfilled in the New Testament affirm a theology of 'fulfillment,' not 'replacement' (as Zionists claim); Christ grafted the church into Israel (Romans 11:11-31; Eph. 2: 11-13), not the other way around. Christ's church thus consists of both believing Jews and believing gentiles (Eph. 2: 11-18), making Christ "a light to the gentiles (Isaiah 42:6) and Abraham "the father of us all” (Rom. 4:15-17). “The testimony of Jesus [not Israel] is the spirit of prophesy.” - Rev. 19:10.
Modern Israel is the ultimate 'end time' con-job. America's reckless, incompassionate churches never tire of gifting Israel with lavish annual outlays of billions of dollars and military equipment to crush and terrorise her Palestinian neighbors. Many of them holding to Jesus Christ as Savior.

Did God Rig The 2016 Presidential Election?
Facebook religious fanatics think so:
“It really does not matter for whom you vote. God will decide who wins and who looses.”
“I believe that God has a reason why Trump won and I see why.” (The reason was not given.)
Donald Trump became our President because of God's 'permissive will': God permits His free-will creatures to choose. Alternatively, God sets up or removes political leaders regardless of elections. This is His 'purposive will,' imposed by whatever means He chooses, for a greater and sometimes longer-term purpose (see Daniel 2:21; Job 34:24-25, 29).
God is Sovereign and does not rig elections.

Is Israel Pushing President Trump Into A War With Iran To Save Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Scandalous Career?
- War has always been a favored tactic of embattled politicians, to increase their popularity
and deflect criticism.
- The rhetoric of the Trump Administration has been very similar to that of the Bush
Administration: Iran is painted as the ‘Big Bad Wolf’ that America has to attack to save the
world.
- A leaked US embassy cable in 2009 warned that Israel was in danger of becoming 'The
Promised Land’ of organized crime. .
- Israeli money laundering by international criminal syndicates is reaching an annual $39
billion. .
- Zionist bankers, casino owners, media magnates, entertainers, movie producers (all of them
enemies of Christianity) are flourishing under Netanyahu .
- Tel Aviv, Israel's largest city, is the international capital of homosexuality.
- Israel pays for abortions at any stage of the baby’s development. .
- Netanyahu is a Talmudist (the "traditions of the elders" that Jesus condemned).
Netanyahu promises that the Talmud will be the Law of Israel.
- Modern Israel has been defended by the frail writings and sermons of John Darby, Cyrus
Scofield, Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey, John Hagee, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, Jim Bakker,
Kenneth Copeland. LaHaye, All of them will hound Washington until our politicians wage war
for Israel, sending your sons and daughters to fight to the last drop of American blood.
What kind of a nation would sacrifice their sons and daughters for a nation of crooks, liars and reprobates? "America First," not "Israel First."
“I know what America is. America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won't get in our way”
- Benjamin Netanyahu (2010)
Israeli Prime Minister
(Update: Netanyahu won the election)
