The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Genesis 35:9-12, “Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and
He blessed him.
10 God said to him, ‘Your name is Jacob; you shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.’ Thus He called him Israel.
11 God also said to him, ‘I am God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come forth from you.’
12 ‘The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and I will give the land to
your descendants after you.’”

If you have any questions or misgivings regarding the current Israeli-Hamos war, the above
verses (esp. v. 12) should clarify which nation is in the right! Furthermore, Biblical history revealed
in Scripture is as sure and reliable as its doctrine. The History of Israel is literally filled with wars.
How could we expect otherwise, since Satan perennially sets Israel’s enemies against her!

Remember the “6 Day War”? We were in Australia when that occurred, and I shall never forget
my conversation with an Aussie soldier. He was fuming and fussing because of his connection
with the Australian military. I remember saying to him, “Don’t worry about this! You’re an
Australian.” His quick and rather terse reply was: “I know that! But, I’m Jewish! I need to be in that fight.”

The biggest requirement for those of us who are not Jewish is to believe that the LORD is with them
in this and every battle, especially battles that concern land the LORD gave to them centuries ago!
Are we so naïve to believe that the LORD has forgotten or rescinded His gift to the Jewish nation?
He has not rescinded His promise to Israel; nor has He rescinded His promise of Eternal Life to those who have trusted Him for salvation!

“The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached
the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, ‘ALL THE NATIONS WILL BE BLESSED
IN YOU’” (Gal. 3:8).

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
