Israel’s finalizing annexation plans

Post by Alexander »

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to begin the annexation of illegal Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, including parts of the strategic Jordan Valley, from July 1, fulfilling an election campaign pledge.

The plan to annex as much as one-third of the occupied West Bank was given impetus by US President Donald Trump's unveiling in late January of his so-called "Middle East plan" as Netanyahu stood by his side.

As the annexation battle has built to a fever pitch in Israel — among activists and politicians, if not the general public — July 1 loomed as a possible decision day. Opposing camps squared off for weeks, trying to either force or stay Netanyahu’s hand. But on the eve of the big day, with the prime minister’s decision unknown (or unmade), activists on both sides remained baffled as to whether the next few days would mark a deadline or a starting line; a history-bending declaration or a silent moment of indecision..

It's only illegal in the sight of the UN, which is the evil organization. Israel is just reclaiming territory that is rightfully theirs but continuing on this path is just another reason for the nations to descend and attack it.

Imagine if you were surprise-attacked by all your neighbors simultaneously, then against all odds you won fair and square, acquired strategic land in the process (and as a bargaining chip), then the neighbors that lost refuse to show up at the bargaining table to settle the affair, then they run to the UN to have them attempt to fix the problems that they themselves created, all while swearing to destroy you.

Then on top of that, the whole world hates you over a few controversial "facts"... While the whole world ignores far worse offenses committed by the rest of the international community. Consider China and Russia and all the annexation they've committed without so much as a sneeze from the UN, not to mention human rights violations.

Double standards all over the place.

dividing of the promised land - Israel, is not going to make the Lord very happy.


"Is it possible that annexation of the West Bank is the Hook In the Jaw that The Lords speaks of in Ezekiel 38/39?? "


(this video below he did back in Jan. of this year
Jan 29, 2020

"the apple of God's eye, which is Jerusalem, is being divided"


2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1 Thessalonians 5

unlikely. in the context of ezekiel, "hook in the jaw" is language referring to the dragon of the nile (pharaoh), who symbolises egypt as a whole, who the levite talks about in chapters 29-32

ezekiel 29
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt;
speak, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his streams, that says, ‘My Nile is my own; I made it for myself.’
I will put hooks in your jaws, and make the fish of your streams stick to your scales; and I will draw you up out of the midst of your streams, with all the fish of your streams that stick to your scales."

job 41
“Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook or press down his tongue with a cord?
Can you put a rope in his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?"

isaiah 37
"Because you have raged against me and your complacency has come to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will turn you back on the way by which you came."

funnily enough, this is related to my response to spirit. the allotment of abraham was from the egyptian sea to the euphrates, something both literal and figurative, as wicked worldly kings/kingdoms are often described as sea dragons living in seas/rivers. abraham's portion extends west to the empire of egypt and east to the empire of babylon.

genesis 15
On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates"

which is certainly what isaiah is playing with here, whose prophecy certainly culminates in the fulness of times when satan's day of power expires and he is taken out of his river (ezek 29), "no one [daring] to molest or make afraid" becoming a thing of the past -

isaiah 27
In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea...
In that day from the river Euphrates to the Brook of Egypt the Lord will thresh out the grain, and you will be gleaned one by one, O people of Israel.

so israel technically has rights to a much larger portion than a little sliver. this was what david did in the books of samuel, he established the reign of yhwh over the swath of land god gave abraham.

i suppose the question to ask in this particular circumstance is whether or not the country "israel" created in 1948 is the israel, or at least a part of it. as for myself, i simply don't know yet, could see it going either way. aforetime satan gloried in his sovereignty from "the river (euphrates) to the ends of the earth", but this is a new day -

psalm 72
May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth!

Hitler used similar reasoning during the beggining of WWII. Ofc, that doesn't make what he did right, or what the Israelies are doing wrong (or vice versa for that manner). Just pointing out that such reasoning has flaws.

The State of Israel cannot claim to be the rightful claimants to Abraham's allotment. Never ever

I'm way out of my wheelhouse here because I know almost nothing about the history of Israel, but doesn't the land rightfully belong to whoever is occupying it? If a nation takes land by force or treaty or by first-come-first-serve what's the difference?
