It’s not all Israel’s fault

Contents

Part 1. Why the world turned against Israel after October 7^th and the war in Gaza

• Hamas / Muslim Brotherhood – what the Hamas Charter says – a commitment to destroy Israel.  How should Israel respond?
• The PLO’s Phased Plan and the Palestinian State – why this will not bring peace and safety to Jews or Arabs.
• Jews and Christians as dhimmi (‘protected’) people in the Muslim world.  How Israel reverses this world view.
• Muslim apocalyptic teaching about the Mahdi.  What it means for Muslims, Jews and Christians.
• The present Middle East line up after the Gulf War.  War or peace for Israel?

Part 2.  A biblical response to the above

• God’s covenant with Abraham and its relevance to the situation today.
• What the Bible says about the dispersion and regathering of the Jewish people.
• Significance of Israel’s rebirth – first the physical and then the spiritual (Ezekiel 36-7)
• Worldwide conflict over Jerusalem a sign of the last days.  (Zechariah 12-14)
• The coming of the Messiah – for the first or second time?  The one hope for real peace and safety.

²⁵ For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. ²⁶ And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:

“The Deliverer will come out of Zion,
And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;
²⁷ For this is My covenant with them,
When I take away their sins.” Romans 11.25-27
