Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

World War III (if that’s what this conflict is, in the Middle East) is vastly different than any we’ve had before. Daniel, the major and minor prophets, Jesus Himself, Paul, and of course Revelation, all tell us a great “time of trouble,” military, political, social, is coming in the last days (cf. Dan. 12:1; Matt. 24:21, etc.). Many who say they believe the Bible wonder if this will lead into Armageddon.

 

A letter writer in the Sacramento Bee today speaks for millions—the modern nation are the same “Israel” whom God recognized in the Old Testament as His one and only “chosen” people; therefore He will give victory to modern Israel and woe to any nation that doesn’t help her. This supports the millions in money and in military support America gives Israel continually. Religion is at the bottom of this conflict.

 

Radical Muslims also claim Abraham as their “father” and see Israel as the same as America; hence their hatred directed West. But all seems well for Israel, and its establishment appears to be divinely ordained.

 

But one little detail of history is disturbing: in the personal presence of the Son of God (no other nation got that close!) the leaders of the Jews, while they were still His constituted people, renounced their nationhood under God and His special protection. In their blind fury against Jesus of Nazareth they voted: “we have no king but Caesar,” John reports (19:15). Thus they surrendered their special ethnic birthright as Esau did his (Gen. 25:33, 34; Heb. 12:16). Now they depend only on their force of arms, which until now in conflict has always prevailed. (And God loves them as He loves any nation.)

 

Meanwhile, remember that we live in the great solemn Day of Atonement, when the heavenly “sanctuary” is to be “cleansed” (Dan. 8:14). That means our hearts must first be cleansed!
