TRENDING:

In-Depth: The United Nations Vs The God Of The Universe

Robert Gottselig

Let’s be honest, the United Nations is nothing more than the United nothing. Last week at the UN, a shameful declaration for a two-state solution was endorsed.

Of course, the United States voted no. “Make no mistake,” the US told the General Assembly, “this resolution is a gift to Hamas.” Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Dannon rightfully stated that “the only beneficiary is Hamas.”

“When terrorists are the ones cheering, you are not advancing peace; you are advancing terror,” Dannon underscored.

Let me get this straight… Out of the 193 members in the United Nations General Assembly, 142 countriesโ€”including Canadaโ€”voted in favor of this declaration.

Only now have they condemned Hamas. What in the world took this assembly so long to recognize the demonic, horrific atrocities of October 7th, 2023? That alone is despicable. Now, they want to reward Hamas and the Palestinians with a two-state solution.

Here’s a news flash: the Palestinians are not interested in a two-state solution. Their mantra, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” means no Israel. If you want to talk about a genocide, there you have it. They dream of Israel’s eradication, they chant it daily, and they teach it to their children.

The Palestinians are never going to be satisfied with pre-1967 borders. They already had those borders from 1948 to 1967. Syria occupied the Golan Heights, Jordan occupied the so-called “West Bank”โ€”Judea and Samaria, which is Israel’s heartlandโ€”and Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip. There was no talk about creating a “Palestinian state” between 1948 and 1967. And yet, in 1964, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was created. What were they going to liberate if they already possessed pre-1667 borders?

What the world is demanding Israel return to is not going to do any good. The Palestinians want the entirety of Israelโ€”not two states living side by side.

This whole idea of a “long lost land called Palestine” that had its own unique culture, people, and government is a lie. The name “Palestine” came into effect in 135 AD when the Roman Emperor Hadrian, enraged by the second uprising by the Jewish people against Roman authorities, renamed the land “Provincia Syria Palestina.”

Everyone living there was known as Palestiniansโ€”the Jewish people included. In fact, the Arabs never wanted to be called “Palestinians” until Yasser Arafat, Chairman of the PLO, came on the scene. All of a sudden, the narrative changed, and he rewrote history.

Our foolish world leaders, the media, and everyone else who hate Israel buy the lieโ€”and it’s shameful.

In the past, Israel has welcomed a two-state solution, bending over backwards to make peace with the Palestinians. Her enemies, on the other hand, would rather push her into the sea than see the land divided. The Palestinians teach their children every day to hate Israel and the Jewish peopleโ€”in their school textbooks, in their mosques, in their marketplaces, and in their media. They are corrupting the minds of the youth to think that Israel has stolen “Palestinian land.” Nothing could be further from the truth. They encourage their young people to be martyrs and to kill Jews. When they do kill Jews, they brazenly receive compensation from the Palestinian Authority’s “Pay for Slay” program to look after their families. It’s despicable and disgusting.

The world is not sympathetic to the Jewish people. Despite the massacre of Israelis on October 7th, they want to reward Hamas and the Palestinians with a two-state solution.

Furthermore, the Palestinians and Arabs rejected a two-state solution on at least four occasionsโ€”1937, 1947, 2000, and 2008. If that’s not enough to show the world that the Palestinians aren’t interested in two states, look at 2005. Israel turned over the entirety of the Gaza Strip, free of all Jews, to make peace. Ariel Sharon, the Israeli Prime Minister at the time, said, “Let’s make peace.” How did that turn out? The “test run” failed. Forty thousand rockets rained down, and the most horrific atrocities imaginable were committed against Israel. It didn’t work out well then, and it would by no means work out well in the future.

Yet the United Nations pressures Israel while ignoring these facts. They should be called the United Nothing because, really, they are good for nothing.

The United Nations issued more resolutions against Israel than any other country combined. The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has had 103 condemnatory resolutions against Israel, 38 against Russia, 37 against Syria, and only 15 against Iran. The UN General Assembly has had 154 condemnatory resolutions against Israel, 24 against Russia, 20 against Syria, and only 8 against Iran. That says it all.

When it comes to the United Nations Security Council, Amir Tsarfati posted a chart showing that since October 2023, over 60 meetings have been held on Gaza, while a staggering 215.9 million people in other countries face hunger emergencies. But let’s blame Israel!

Tsarfati is right when he says, “No Jews, no news.” Sadly, this is the world we are living in.

So why are these countries voting in favor of this disgraceful declaration? Because they refuse to look to God’s word! World leaders are hellbent on casting resolutions against Israel, and they have no idea what they are doing.

It’s antisemitic. Plain and simple.

Wake up, world! You are bringing God’s judgment upon you and your countries. In Genesis 12:3, God simply says that He will bless those who bless the Jewish people and He will curse those who curse them. Contrary to statements by Tucker Carlson, this includes the modern state of Israel!

Genesis 12:1-3 reads, “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

That promise, amongst the other six promises that we find there in this Abrahamic covenant, is sealed by God himself in Genesis 15. Abraham is in a deep sleep, and God ratifies this unconditional and everlasting covenant. Israel’s name is on the title, and nobody’s going to change that.

I’m not saying you have to agree with the Israeli government. I am saying that God has promised the land of Israel to the physical descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Period. If you don’t like that, take that up with the God of this universe!

If you are going against Israel, God’s chosen people, while dividing the land He swore to them as an everlasting possession, you are heading for severe judgment. In Joel 3:2, God, referring to the Tribulation period, says, “I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land.”

All nations, all means all!

When Israel’s enemies of the past conquered the land, they never sat at a drawing table and said, “Let’s divide the land.” They kept it for themselves. Only in our day are they dividing up the land.

If leaders want peace and prosperity, they need to stand with Israel.

The sad reality is that the nations will continue to be united against Israel. It is only going to intensify in the coming years and culminate at the second coming of Christ. In fact, there is also going to be a demonic plan in the Tribulation period to finally destroy the Jewish people altogether. It will come from a leader called the Antichrist, who is possessed by Satan.

Satan hates the Jewish people because one day they are going to call upon their Messiah, and He will return. Jesus’ return spells Satan’s doom. In the book of Revelation, we read that Satan will be cast into the bottomless pit for a thousand years and then eventually into the lake of fire for all eternity. He knows that. If he can prevent the Jewish people from calling upon the name of the Messiah, he can’t be judged. That’s the crux of the matter. That’s the crux of antisemitism. It is satanic in origin.

There should never be a Christian standing against Israel. If so, they need to have a long talk with the God of this universe. True believers love the things God loves. God loves Israel and the Jewish people.

In Zechariah 12, God says that He will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. Think about that for a moment. In Matthew 25, when Jesus returns, He is going to judge the nations for how they treated His brothersโ€”the Jewish people. That’s how much Jesus loves them. If you hate Israel, you should let that sink in.

Attempting To Usurp Sovereignty Over Death: Cryonics, Euthanasia, And The Oldest Lie

In the end, whether through euthanasia or cryonics, these are not triumphs of human hope but towering monuments to human unbelief โ€” an icy altar erected by those who would rather stake eternity on the cold singularity of engineered death or the fantastical dream of an earthly resurrection than bow before the coming King.

Is Israel Still A Part Of Godโ€™s Ultimate Plan Of Redemption?

In Romans 11, Paul is proclaiming that even though Israel rejected Jesus, that doesnโ€™t mean Godโ€™s plan of redemption was thwarted. Instead, it was spread to the nations and the once-severed relationship between God and His creation was reconciled in Jesus. Thatโ€™s real good news. However, the news gets even better, Paul looks ahead prophetically to that day when Jesus will return

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Has Been Failing Australiaโ€™s Jewish Community For 25 Years

The Australian Jewish News reported that Mr Albanese had also been at a Canberra rally in 2000, referring to him as a โ€œpro-Palestinian Labor MP.โ€ Sadly, as it is now, so it was then. Synagogues were vandalised in both Sydney and Canberra (the locations of the two rallies), and Jewish families were advised to avoid public displays of faith. ย  Where did Australia go wrong? In part, 25 years ago. Anthony Albanese failed Australiaโ€™s Jewish community in 2000, and he failed them again in 2025. By Godโ€™s mercy, may this be the last of his failures.
