It has nothing to do with my eschatology. It's just a simple fact that you can't make "deals" with terrorists. The Palestinian people (Muslims) have an ideology in which they seek to drive Israel into the sea. This is evidenced by their own intifada history, bombings, homicide attacks, and their own media AND what is preached in their mosques. Not only in Palestine, but throughout the Arab world, including America!
Palestinians have been furnished with handouts from the United States/UN for years and have done NOTHING to rise above their corrupt leadership and make something of themselves. Not even Arab countries want them! But with their persistence of terror and murder, they have succeeded in bending and breaking the will of the leader of Israel, after arm twisting by our own President, to go along with the plan (Road Map) or have US funds cut off from Israel. They have won. If you think the withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and turning over Bethlethem and even Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine is going to be appease them and there will be peace, you've got to be kidding. How can there be peace when the goal is to drive all Jews into the sea and destroy the little satan and big satan?
Contrast the lazy and violent Palestinian people with the Israeli Jews who, after having become a Nation in 1948, created a virtual rose blooming in the desert from a land of dust and stones and ruin. They have met with adversity from all over the world, been driven from Arab lands, having their wealth stolen and confiscated by the same, and have been ridiculed and hated throughout history. Yet, there they are - still. With much more resilience and endurance and tolerance than the average American citizen would have, living under the same circumstances and threats. And, yes, I do believe the "jihad" will be coming to America one day and it is a matter of time and has nothing to do with eschatology.
And, regardless of eschatology, pre-mil, post-mil, pre-trib, post-trib, whatever - the fact is, God says the Land there Belongs to ISRAEL. Abrahamic Covenant. Period. Now you can choose to ignore that or pass that off as not applicable to today or the future and blah, blah, but that is what I believe from the Bible. Now we can slide back into eschatology on that point, I suppose. And you can persist in making inuendoes about me and what I believe, but in the end, what you believe about me doesn't really matter, does it? And it doesn't change a thing when it comes to Biblical prophecy or what God says. If I am wrong in accepting what God said about the Nation of Israel and whether or not that Nation is in existence today, then I am wrong. If I am wrong in believe that Ezekiel 38 and 39 will come to pass, then I am wrong, and my beliefs have nothing to do with the future outcome of anything. I didn't invent eschatology.
But I believe once God says something, it is everlasting - especially when He goes to great lengths to explain that it is an everlasting covenant. Like the Abrahamic Covenant. Who am I, dust that I am, to question whether God meant everlasting when He said it or not? I take what He said at face value.
Additionally, I do believe the Scriptures when it says that one day ALL of Israel shall be saved. I also take that at face value. Period.
