They Divided My Land
By Hal Mitchell, The Bard of Hearthstone Hills
On Sep 17, 1787 the Constitutional Convention was concluded in Philadelphia. When Benjamin Franklin emerged, a savvy woman asked him him “What do we have sir; a Democracy or a Republic?” Franklin replied “A Republic, If You Can Keep It”.
A couple of days ago, VP J.D. Vance concluded a meeting with P.M. Netanyahu, regarding the peace treaty that Trump had engineered between Israel and Hamas. In the background, I hear old Ben Franklin’s voice saying “If you can keep it!”
The treaty seems to be holding, but I am concerned about one very important thing! It is that Trump has told Netanyahu “Do not annex the West Bank”. The “West Bank” is part of the ancient land God gave to Israel which is Judea and Samaria!In God’s eyes, Israel already owns Judea and Samaria!
In Joel 3:2 – NKJV, it says: I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.
In 2005, after pressure from Pres. George W. Bush, Ariel Sharon, the then PM of Israel, bulldozed Israeli settlements in the West Bank, but shortly thereafter, he suffered a massive stroke from which he never recovered.
Then, on August 29, 2006, Hurricane Katrina ripped through the City of New Orleans causing $125 Billion in damage and killing an estimated 1,392 people! Could it be that God does not like his land being divided?
