DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reggie Kelly addresses the confusion surrounding the present state of
Israel, highlighting the mistaken order of the modern return and the
unbiblical optimism concerning Israel's future. He points out the
dangerous belief in Israel's 'inviolability' held by key leaders in the
Land, leading to a false sense of supernatural divine protection.
Despite scriptural evidence indicating Israel will face Antichrist's
fury, there is a widespread belief that obediently returning to the Land
will provide safety, creating an astonishing deception fueled by
emotional presuppositions and end-time complexities.

A brief answer to a query on whether we can rightly and scripturally
'expect' that the Lord will safeguard the Land of Israel at this time. A
fuller apologetic is expected.

There is great confusion that exists among many concerning the present
state of Israel. Many are confusing the distinct stages of the modern
(1948 to present) return; and this mistaken order predisposes them
towards an unbiblical optimism concerning Israel's future. Many of the
key leaders in the Land today subscribe to the ancient heresy of
Israel's 'inviolability.' They can conceive that Israel may indeed be
tested and buffeted by enemies, but expect nothing on the scale of a
future Jacob's trouble and the collapse of the modern state.

Certainly, to us it is clear that Israel will be the first focus of
Antichrist's fury throughout the 42 months of his persecuting career,
but against a volume of scriptural evidence to the contrary, they
consider the Land the special object of supernatural divine protection;
and that the greatest safety for Jews from the brunt of Antichrist
persecution will be for those who have 'obediently' returned to the
Land, the "ark of safety." Astonishing deception! One would think that
this is clear enough from scripture, but the issue is almost hopelessly
complicated by emotional presuppositions.

There is much more to this issue than meets the eye, but it is an end-
time deception of the first magnitude that has ironically infected the
messianic leaders in the Land more than anywhere else, except parts of
Europe and Russia where these leaders exercise their greatest influence.
