THE PALESTINIANS AND ARABS ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE!

  The Arab leaders are saying that the holocaust in Europe did not happen! They deny that six million Jews died under the evil reign of Hitler. They believe that if they say this long enough and loud enough that many people who are so ignorant about history will start to believe them and lose sympathy for Israel.

   There is trouble brewing for the Arabs who hate Israel and who wish to drive her into the sea! God's wrath will fall upon them soon, or certainly in the time of the tribulation, which I believe is not far off!

   Psalm 83 gives the warning, and that psalm virtually quotes what many Arab leaders are saying even today.

   The chapter starts out pleading for God "not to remain silent, or be still" because of the hatred of the Arabic people surrounding Israel (v. 1). Those calling for Israel's destruction are "making an uproar, and are actually the enemies of God" (v. 2). They are really hating God and exalting themselves (v. 2b). These Arab peoples are "making shrewd plans against God's people" (v. 3). They "conspire together against God's treasured ones" (v. 3b).

   The Arab nations call out "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more" (v. 4). Further, "They conspire together with one mind; against God do they make a covenant" (v. 5). The peoples making this partnership are those who live around the people of Israel in the land: Edom, the Ishmaelites, Moab, Ammon, Amalek, the Philistines, Tyre, Assyria (modern day Iraq). The Arab enemies say: "Let us possess for ourselves the pastures of God" (v. 12).

   God will someday make them like "the whirling dust, like chaff before the wind, like a flame that sets the mountains on fire" (vv. 13-14). They will be terrified with "God's storm" (v. 15). They will be "ashamed, dismayed, humiliated and perish" (v. 16-17). However grace is still available to these Arab enemies of Israel. The hope is that they would seek God's name (v. 16). For certain, they will find out who is in charge and who controls the world! "They will learn that God alone is the Most High over the earth" (v. 18).

   The Most High is the name of the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ. See Daniel 7:18, 22, 25. The Arabs are in rebellion against Israel's Lord and Savior! – Dr. Mal Couch
