Gary Varvel: Disarming Iran

AllIsrael.com reports: “Following the Israel Defense Forces confirmation that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in a gunfight with Israeli soldiers, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement saying, I have a message of hope to the peoples of the region: The axis of terror that was built by Iran is collapsing before our eyes.”

Hamas and Hezbollah leaders have been neutralized. Iran’s proxies have been cut off. I’m praying that their reign of terror is coming to an end.

God made an eternal covenant with Israel. Psalm 89:3-4 says:

“I have made a covenant with My chosen;

I have sworn to David My servant,

I will establish your seed forever

And build up your throne to all generations.” Selah.

1 Kings 2:45 says,

But King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord forever.”

Notice how long this covenant is to last? FOREVER. King Solomon was Jewish. His father David was Jewish. Jesus is Jewish and the covenant will be fulfilled by the Messiah who is Jewish. There is no throne in Jerusalem today but there will be during the Millennial Reign of Christ (Revelation 20:1-7).

I heard from a man this week who has a problem with Israel’s prosecution of the war. He doesn’t like the Israelis taking land from its enemies. What does the Bible say? 

Joshua 1:3-6 says,

3 I (God) will give you (Joshua) every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.

Despite the fact that Iran and its proxies have said that they will “drive Israel into the sea,” God has miraculously gathered the Jewish people back to His land of Israel and has protected them from daily attacks. Just look at the land deed in the verses above. God promised the Israelis the land from the Mediterranean Sea to the river Euphrates. Israel has never historically owned that much land. But God promised and during the Millennial Reign of Christ, it will happen.
