Vengeance For Israel

Shall Arab rage wipe Israel fore'er from the globe,
The fruit of Judah's life erased by fears
Of bombs hidden beneath each Muslim robe,
Herod's babe-killing reprised in our years?

Shall Islam's rockets streak the starry sky,
Hurling death upon those who've known it long?
Will murder end, or must death be nigh,
Until God's Chosen from earth fully gone?

The enemies of Israel best beware,
The Lion of Judah stands upon His feet;
The trumpet of God is raised high to blare;
Vengeance for Israel her foes will soon meet!

The Bible contains many prophecies that describe the devastation God is to pour out upon the enemies of the nation of Israel. The Arabic/Islamic nations that have hated Israel since the days of Abraham are predicted to receive God's vengeance for the seven wars and countless acts of terrorism since 1948, the year Israel was reconstituted a nation. The natural enmity that began when Ishmael, the forefather of Arabs, was expelled by Abraham in favor of Isaac, who founded the Jews, was multiplied fourfold when Muhammed formed the religion called Islam in 610 A.D., and designed it to be in direct contrast to Judaism and Christianity.

To become a Muslim, the prospect, whether a convert or a defeated enemy trying to avoid beheading, must recite the words, "There is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet". Muhammad was not a prophet, for he claimed only to recite the words spoken to him by the angel Gabriel, supposedly exactly as Allah spoke them. His function was to repeat them, not create them, as a prophet would have done. To further antagonize the God of the Jews, Yahweh, those same key words are shouted heavenward five times a day by almost 2 billion Muslims estimated to be in the world today.

The God of the Bible is angry at hearing Muslims deny His Lordship, and He is angry at their oft-repeated cry to exterminate Israel from the face of the earth. All you have to do to sense God's anger is to read the words of Ezekiel, a prophet in the Bible, foretelling what is going to happen to Israel's enemies when Jesus Christ returns to the earth the second time. The words of God, "Then they shall know that I am God!", repeated 67 times, show His anger. One of many prophecies is quoted:

"I will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declared the Sovereign Lord. Every man's sword will be against his brother. I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed. I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the Lord." (Ezekiel 38:21-23)

You can read between the lines and sense God's anger at being told that Allah is the only god, and that He is interested in proving to the world that the Islamic claims for Allah are false.
