Yesterday I drew up an analogy between Joshua and the Gibeonites…
…and…
…modern Israel and the Palestinians that…
…I suspect some of you may have thought was a bit of a stretch.
Well, I can assure you, it’s not.
So to put any doubts to rest…
…let me show you some more similarities between…
…Israel’s modern day struggles with the Palestinians and…
…what Joshua faced in his dealings with the Gibeonites…
…that are just downright spooky.
SIMILARITY 1: Gibeon Approached Israel With Lies And False Pretenses:
In the same way, the Palestinian leaders also approach Israel with “peace treaties” based on false pretenses. The truth is the Palestinians don’t want peace. They want to destroy the Israelis and take the Promised Land for themselves. And what makes matters worse is that the government and people of Israel are well aware the Palestinians don’t want peace. Yet they continue to kowtow to them.
SIMILARITY 2: Joshua Suspected That Gibeon Had Ulterior Motives Behind Their “Peace” Treaty
In the same way, every time modern day Israel enters into some ridiculous peace treaty with the Palestinians, they smell something fishy that is later confirmed when afterwards they are pressured to hand over more land that God rightfully gave to Israel or are asked to allow thousands more Palestinian refugees who want nothing to do with the God of Israel to come into the land.
SIMILARITY 3: In Spite Of Gibeon’s Deception, Joshua Still Went Ahead With The “Peace” Agreement
As I type these words, Israel is doing the EXACT same thing today. In spite of knowing full well that the Palestinians want to destroy them, Israel continues to attempt to make peace with their sworn enemies by seeking more agreements and promises that are directly opposed to God’s commands and His Will as outlined in His Word.
SIMILARITY 4: The “Peace” Agreement With The Gibeonites Served As A Prison Of Confusion That Would Trap Israel For Many Years To Come In the same way, because of all the compromises modern Israel has made in their attempts to appease the Palestinians, they have created such a confusing web of confusion that even the most intelligent political minds on the planet have no idea how to even begin solving this so-called Middle Eastern crisis. Back tracking is now an impossibility.
SIMILARITY 5: Joshua Thought It Would Be Wrong To Break The Dumb Agreement He Made With The Gibeonites
In the same way, Israel seeks to honor their stupid peace treaties with the Palestinians in spite of knowing full well the Palestinian leadership has zero intent in honoring these agreements. And why? They say that Hashem is calling them to adhere to Jewish values of love, mercy and humanitarianism. And you know who supports Israel in all of this peace-making nonsense? The United States Government and all the liberal Christian churches out there. For crying out loud, how many rockets does Israel have to have launched at their innocent citizens before they come to their senses?!
