HAMAS VS ISRAELIS--IS THERE A SOLUTION?

Israeli vs. Palestinian--The Core Problem
January 11, 2009 Daniel 9:20-27

Imagine that instead of arguing over the NCAA Football championships Oklahoma and Texas were engaged in hot combat. Sirens constantly screamed in Mckinney—not warning of tornadoes but of incoming Katyusha rockets from Norman. Children huddled underground in shelters and tried to learn their ABCs.
How long do you think Texans would allow this kind of assault to go unchallenged? So we invade and discover that this is exactly what our enemies wanted. As we counter their rockets with our jets, the escalating civilian deaths move world opinion against us. Our enemy is a terrorist organization that shoots rockets at civilians and uses human suicide bombers. They are also a humanitarian social organization feeding and providing medical supplies and a court of justice in a formerly bribe invested, hopeless population.
This gives you only an initial feel for the issues that fuel the present Gaza War as Israel and Hamas lock down in deadly struggle. Anyone want Clinton’s job as the next Secretary of State with this as the first item of business on the table?
The economic analyses describe the stench of poverty and corruption that plagues Gaza. Political analysts sift through the history and catalogue the attempts at peace in the Middle East, but the angry cries to fight to the death continue. Few ask the deeper question raised by a first century Jew named James, “What causes conflicts and disputes among you? Where do they come from?”
The prophet Daniel answered this question in Daniel chapter 9. He knew all about threats against Israel. He saw his land and Temple destroyed. He himself lived in Captivity, yet as he prays, he does not look for political or economic solutions. He agrees with the answer that Jesus’ step brother James gave. ““ Do they not come for your cravings that are at war within you? (James 4:1)
Down on his face Daniel confessed his sin and the sins of his people. God responded and sent Gabriel, a powerful angel, to reveal God’s answer to the problem of Jerusalem and His Jewish people.
