STREAMS IN THE NEGEV

It seems like God is using Israel as a sword to bring necessary division within the Body, just as Yeshua came to bring a sword even within family relationships. Peace is for those who believe, and walk in the light.

It is true, that from a purely Palestinian Arab perspective, Israel’s being here may certainly be catastrophic for many of their lives, just as the Holocaust continues to be for many Jewish people. But, as believers, we need to see both these events in the light of God’s word, His righteousness, and His redemptive purposes leading up to the return of the Lord. If we can not agree here, it is very difficult to talk or act together when our basic assumptions are not compatible.

Who among all of us are willing and able to go on together from this common basic understanding, and trust the Holy Spirit to bring others along?
