If I sometimes doubt God's promises to me, I have to confess that I doubt his word even more when it comes to Israel. Especially now, when it seems that all of the nations are abandoning any semblance of goodwill towards Israel; when it looks like all of the turmoil and torment in the mid-east will result in Israel being besieged as never before.
God's word is true, God's promises will come to pass and will come to pass in circumstances that make it clear that it is only God and his hand on his people that have brought it about. God will show himself holy among the nations. His people will live in safety and punishment will be inflicted on those who malign God's chosen. We may not see it in our lifetime, but God's promise will stand if only for one reason.: that the whole world will know that God is the Lord God of Israel. Even at this moment, for any that would see, he is showing himself holy among them in the sight of the nations.
