Love Your Enemies
Share ThisAnyone who doubts the Bible is a prophetic book, is just kidding themselves. One of the most astonishing truths in there is ‘Israel will be a burdensome stone until the end’.
I try so hard to remember in this time of ‘Jacob’s trouble’ (or the ‘beginning of sorrows’) not to hate my enemies. I know they are murderous devils who can’t be reasoned with. I imagine them roasting in hell when the devil and his army ‘will be put in prison 1000 years’. Human nature I guess, but no excuse.
My Lord, Jesus told me to love my enemies. Believe it or not, this is easier than hating them. No matter what their reasoning, they are murderers, and so I am not saying we should not stop and/or kill them before they kill us first. Just love them while we are putting them out of their misery. However, ‘fear not the one who can kill your body, fear The One Who can kill your soul’. I wish that we could have all lived in peace, but the enemy just can’t get past it and will never let Israel live in peace.
However, He does not say love THE enemy, meaning the devil. Terrorist miscreants after all, are devil worshippers. They call him god, and he is their god. The thing is, they do not realize who he is. They are deluded, and are to be pitied, not hated.
You think the devil walks up and says, Hi, I’m the devil, call me god? No, he would delude and mislead his ‘followers’ to make them think he was God. These poor, ignorant suicide bombers think they are going to heaven for commiting murder in the name of god? It is just so horribly tragic. Don’t they know God is Love?
Anyone who knows anything knows God said ‘Vengance is mine’. The One God would never in a million, trillion years condone this. Therefore, their prophet is the false prophet, and the one they call god, is the enemy, who is the beast. His name is hatred.
I would like to say if the Palestinians had been treated better when Israel reclaimed their homeland, and we made it possible, that we wouldn’t be in this mess today. But long before, the Muslim holy book declared Israel their enemy. My God said he would punish severely, anyone who (sic) attacks Israel.
In the meantime, what can we do but pray. Hate is poison to our souls. This is why Jesus said we should love our enemies. When they crucified Him, He said, ‘Forgive them, they know not what they do’.
When I stop hating them just for a second, I feel such compassion and sadness for my brother. We need to start listening to what it is they are so troubled with us for. It may not do any good, because they can’t be reasoned with. But then again, they say the weapon that no one can resist is love. So far the other weapons just kill and maim each other. Call me Pollyanna, but I still dream of a world where we love each other because every creature created by God is our family.
If you believe the Bible, you know how it turns out. So what is there to fear? God wins. Good wins. Hands down. He is love, not hatred.
Love those that hate you.
