Lion Of Judah

Lion of Judah

"Behold, the Lamb of God!" (Jn. 1:36)

"Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah . . ." (Rev. 5:5).

Jacob said, “Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s children shall bow down before you. Judah is a lion’s whelp; from the prey, my son, you have gone up.

 He bows down, he lies down as a lion; and as a lion, who shall rouse him? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the obedience of the people” (Genesis 49:8-10).

In this passage God looked at Judah as a strong warrior and likened him to a young lion sleeping in its den after devouring its prey. Perhaps it was this strength of character and determination that God foresaw in this tribe that influenced Him to choose Judah to be His lawgiver and the tribe from which His Son would later be born (Hebrews 7:14).

Our Rock

 

When we were little, most of us were told the story of, "David and Goliath," and how he defeated the giant with a little stone, but did you know another stone of God would come on the scene? 

That stone would also save David's life. It's called the, "Rock of Ages!" You see, David would face another giant in the future and like Goliath, he hated the one true God - his name is called, "Sin." 

No one able to stand against Israel

Israel Promise

The Bible warns the destiny of the World is inseparable from Israel and Jerusalem. The Bible says God would one day re-gather the children of Israel back into their land from among many nations around the world. The Bible says they would be re-gathered in unbelief . 

God warns He is not re-gathering the children of Israel into their Land because they deserve it, but because His Name and His Word are at stake (see Ezekiel 36:17-23) . and because He loves them. They are His chosen people. 

The Bible warns God would then make Jerusalem a world trouble spot. The Bible says all nations of the world will turn against Israel. The Bible warns during this time 'Gaza will be forsaken' . and offers a stark warning. 

Then, one day when the armies of the world will gather in and around nation Israel (the coming battle of Armageddon) and when all seems lost for the children of Israel, the Bible says a believing remnant will recognize their Messiah from Scripture, and will call upon His Name. He will then return to save Israel. 

The Bible also tells us 'after these things' the little nation of Israel and the children of Israel will rule over all the nations on Earth, in peace, under her King and Messiah Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew). 

The Bible says all of the covenants, promises, curses, prophecies, and blessings God has made to the children and nation of Israel will be fulfilled .

   "Search from the Book of the LORD, and read,

    ‘Not one of these (prophecies) shall fail;

     not one shall lack her mate.’

     For My mouth has commanded it,

     and His Spirit has gathered them."

     (Isaiah 34:16)

Israel Proposed & Offered Arabs Rejected all

 

Arabs Only Reject Palestinian 

 PEEL COMMISION: 1937 Rejected By Arab

The Commission was established at a time of increased violence; serious clashes between Arabs and Jews broke out in 1936 and were to last three years. On 11 November 1936, the commission arrived in Palestine to investigate the reasons behind the uprising. The Commission was charged with determining the cause of the riots, and judging the grievances of both sides.

 Chaim Weizmann made a speech on behalf of the Jews. On 25 November 1936, testifying before the Peel Commission, Weizmann said that there are in Europe 6,000,000 Jews . "for whom the world is divided into places where they cannot live and places where they cannot enter."

The Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, testified in front of the commission, opposing any partition of Arab lands with the Jews. He demanded full cessation of Jewish immigration. Although the Arabs continued to boycott the Commission officially, there was a sense of urgency to respond to Weizmann's appeal to restore calm. 

Israel's Secret Weapon - Faith

Israel faith

“Blessed are you, Israel!
    Who is like you, 
  a people saved by the LORD?
He is your shield and helper 
   and your glorious sword.
Your enemies will cower before you, 
   and you will tread on their heights.” — Deuteronomy 33:29 

In Deuteronomy, after Moses had concluded blessing each of the twelve tribes of Israel, just prior to his death, Moses gave a general blessing to the entire nation. He said: “Blessed are you, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the LORD? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will tread on their heights.” 

The Jewish people have returned to their homeland, a feat never accomplished by any other nation, is nothing less than miraculous. As Moses said, 

              “Who is a like you, a people saved by the Lord?”
