God Is Getting Them Ready
Published on September 14, 2009 By KFC Kickin For Christ In Misc

A Jewish friend in my neighborhood sent this along.  I thought it was quite timely given the subject matter I've been engaging in lately with some fellow JU'sers.  Much of this I've been expousing forever it seems.  Because it's true. 

 

  This is why I love being a Jew: 

Our condition has never been better than it is now! Only the television and the media make people think that the end of the world is near. Only 65 years ago, Jews were brought to death like sheep to slaughter.. NO country, NO army. Only 60 years ago, seven Arab countries declared war on little Israel, the Jewish state, just a few hours after it was established. 

We were 650,000 Jews against the rest of the Arab world. No IDF  (Israeli Defense Forces) or Air Force. We were only a small group of stubborn people with nowhere to go.
 
Remember: Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Egypt, Libya, and Saudi Arabia, they all attacked at once. The state that the United Nations "gave" us was 65% desert. We started it from zero. 
 
Only 41 years ago, we fought three of the strongest 20 countries in the Middle East, and we crushed them in the Six Day War

Over the years we fought different coalitions of Arab countries with modern armies and huge amounts of Russian-Soviet ammunition, and we still won.

Today we have a beautiful country, powerful army, strong air force, and a thriving high tech industry. Intel, Microsoft, and I.B.M. all develop their business here. 
 
Our doctors have won important prizes in the medical development field.
 
We turn desert into prosperous land.

We sell oranges, flowers, and vegetables around the world. 

We launched our own satellite! Three satellites at once! We are in good company; together with the USA (280 million residents), Russia (220  million residents), China (1.3 billion residents) and Europe (France, England and Germany – 35 million residents), we are one of the only countries in the world that have launched something into space! 
 
Israel today is among the few powerful countries that have nuclear technology & capabilities -(We will never admit it, but everyone knows) 
 
To think that only 65 years ago we were disgraced and hopeless. 

We crawled out from the burning crematoriums of Europe, we won in all our wars, With little bit of nothing and we build us an empire from nothing. Who are Khaled Mashal (leader of Hamas) or Hassan Nasrallah ( leader of Hezbollah) to try and frighten us?  
 
As we celebrate Independence Day, let's not forget what this holy day is all about; we overcame everything.
 
We overcame the Greeks, 
 
We overcame the Romans, 
 
We overcame the Spanish Inquisition
 
We overcame the Russians pogrom, 
 
We overcame Hitler, we overcame Germany, we overcame the Holocaust
 
We overcame the armies of seven countries.
 
Relax chevray (friends), we will overcome our current enemies. 

Never mind where you look in human history. Think about it, the Jewish nation, our condition has never been better than now. So let's lift our heads up and remember: 

Never mind which country or culture tries to harm us or erase us from the world. We will still exist and persevere. Egypt? Anyone know where the Egyptian empire disappeared to? The Greeks? Alexander Macedon? The Romans? Is anyone speaking Latin today?  The third Reich? Did anyone hear news from them lately? 

And look at us, the Bible nation – from slavery in Egypt, we are still here, still speaking the same language. Exactly here, exactly now. 
 
Maybe T he Arabs don't know it yet, but we are eternal nation. All the time that we will keep our identity, we will stay eternal . 
 
So, sorry that we are not worrying, complaining, crying, or fearing… 
 
Business here is beseder (fine). It can definitely be much better, but it is still fine. Don't pay attention to the nonsense in the media, they will not tell you about our festivals here in Israel or about the people that continue living, going out, meeting friends.
 
Yes, sometimes morale is down, so what? This is only because we are mourning the dead while they are celebrating spilled blood. And this is the reason we will win after all.

Basically, the moral of the story is that we Jews don't like dying and any attempt to get rid of us is doomed to fail.

Thank you for posting this KFC.

G-d bless you.

Some pictures of Israel, of Akko and Zikhron Ya'akov:

(Zikhron Ya'akov was one of the first Jewish settlements founded by the Rothschields. Akko was one of the Canaanite cities of old.)

Yes, this is true.  But the reason behind all this is because it is of God.  Otherwise the Jews would have failed a long time ago.  We need to remember to give credit where credit is due. 

Thank you for posting this KFC. G-d bless you.

Thanks Leauki.  On occasion I do pray for the peace of Jerusalem not only because we have been instructed to do but because I know what that really means in the whole scope of things. 

the only disagreement I would have here is the first sentence.  I do think this is all part of the beginning of the end.  It's a process.

Anyone who thinks that the existence Hebrew-speaking Jewish state with a capital Jerusalem nearly 2000 years after its destruction is not a miracle needs to have their head examined.

I think it's both. G-d gave us the strength to become a lot more than we would have been alone. The potential was within us. I think the message is that any people could do it, if they only trust that it can be done.

The end might be near, but it is not the end the media prepare us for.

Europe (France, England and Germany – 35 million residents)

 

Just to get your facts straight - Germany: 82 million residents, France: 60 million residents, England: 58 million residents

Apparently rejecting the divinity of Jesus is the path to happiness.  Who knew?

nobody, because if you think that, then you've been deceived!

oddly the letter to me seems very old testament-ish.  we, we ,we ,we.  if i remember right, God eventually let them do it on their own occasionally to remind them how weak they were without Him.  Israel gets wasted and disappears into something else for a time, before God re-establishes them.

Yepp. Happens occasionally.

Well, another reason for the jews' "success" is that they have the USA backing them up 100%.  I mean, turkey or iran could take them out easily...

I mean, turkey or iran could take them out easily...

and they are both going to try...according to biblical prophecy (Ezek 39) but it's not going to be as easily as you think.

Yeah.

And the Arabs thought they could take them out easily.
