Steve,
I was reading your blog on the English and how there acting towards Israel…my question is…could this be very dangerous to England to act this way to the Israelies? God said in the end time he will defend them no matter if everyone was against them…this sounds like very dangerous ground to be treading on with God…could God be looking at this and say maybe I will not pertect England anymore because of this….? I just believe this is not a good thing for England to be doing…I have never seen so much hate from the E.u towards Israel in my life….this goes way past England alone this is a E.U. hate feast.

Dear Scott,
Your email raises a good point concerning the UK’s growing animosity toward the Israelis. Those who hate and oppose the tribe of Judah in the latter days will have God for an enemy as well. Zephaniah 2:1-9 records God’s absolute promise that the Jews (Judah) will have a homeland in the old Promised Land in the latter days of our age. That prophecy mentions the “seacoast” and “Ashkelon” as parts of the prophesied nation of Judah in the latter days, and that has been fulfilled. Zechariah 12 and 14 mention “Jerusalem and Judah” so often together that it is also clear the city of Jerusalem must be part of Judah’s nation in the latter days, and that prophecy has been fulfilled also.
Zechariah 12:2-3 records God’s promise that he will defend Judah and Jerusalem in the latter days even if “all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” I’ve tended to take that prophecy in a military sense as Zechariah 14 prophesies God will intervene in a war at the end of our age to rescue Judah and Jerusalem, but your email raises a valid point that this promise may have economic implications as well. Those nations which seek to harm Judah and Jerusalem economically or commercially in the latter days may feel God’s judgment come down on their own economies, currencies, etc. If the British set themselves against the Israelis at a time when God has declared he will defend them, the British will put themselves in the very dangerous position of fighting God as well.
