“…they have divided up MY land”, Joel 3:2
Many nations are saying they will recognize the non-existent state of Palestine. So far the USA, Germany and Italy refuse to recognize such a State. But other nations, including France, Britain, Canada, Australia and more, are saying the world should give this Palestine the land of God – including ancient Samaria (which they call The West Bank), Gaza and the Golan Heights. But you all must understand: this is God’s land. It’s not theirs to give away. It is the land of God, promised by Him to Abrahan and his seed – and now it belongs to Judah, now called “Israel” by most, as land promised to them by God.
There will be serious repercussions from God Almighty to anyone or nations who get involved in carving up God’s land.
Think about this too: in effect, we’ve already experienced for the past ten years a Palestinian state! We all knew it as “Gaza.” Israel gave up that land about ten years ago to the Palestinians living there supposedly in return for peace from the Palestinians and Hamas. But there has never been peace from Gaza. Gaza had its own government, no Jews were allowed to live there, but what happened? Gaza rained down thousands of missiles against Israel and periodically conducted terrorist strikes on civilians. They spent hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, not for the intended projects like roads, hospitals and infrastructure – but for building missiles and bombs and building hundreds of miles of underground tunnels to hide their terrorist intentions. Many of these underground tunnels were purposely built under civilian homes, hospitals, schools, mosques and even UN buildings – thinking that would render them impossible for Israel to strike. Even as I write this, I saw a report how Hamas is shooting at Israeli soldiers from within the Gaza Al-Shifa Hospital! So when we see Israel demolishing buildings, it’s because Hamas is using those buildings and people as shields. Israel warns people to leave, then they have no choice but to destroy those buildings, to get at Hamas.
Even in northern Israel, there was an agreed-upon “Buffer zone” between Israel and Hezbollah – land that neither side was supposed to be in. But Hezbollah used it all along for underground tunnels, and the place from which to fire missiles into Israel. So giving Palestinians “land for peace” has never worked.
So when you see Gazan houses, buildings and roads being demolished by Israel, it’s because of these terrorist tunnels underneath those same buildings and roads. After the vicious Oct 7, 2023 genocidal attack by Hamas against Israel, Israel had a right to eradicate Hamas, wherever they were hiding after their Oct 7 vicious attack. Don’t forget: On Oct 7, Hamas burned people alive, cooked Jewish babies in ovens, raped countless girls and women, beheaded many, and then took over 250 hostages back to Gaza after killing hundreds more unarmed civilian Israelis. Many of those same Israelis had been offering jobs and medical support for those living in Gaza – but look what they got back from Hamas in return. Israel is not beheading anyone, or raping Gazan girls or burning their babies alive like Hamas did. There’s no equivalency. Remember too that civilian Palestinians in Gaza cheered the capture of the Israelis as they were displayed to them on the way to their hiding place. Many of those hostages were wounded, raped or naked – or even already dead.
Note by the way, a similar word in Hebrew for Hamas means “violence.” Look up “Hamas” in the Search bar of this website to see where else Hamas is mentioned in scripture.
MANY times in recent years, the Palestinians rejected the “Two-State solution” – meaning two countries intended to live peacefully side by side: Israel and a country called Palestine. Why did Palestinians consistently reject all Israel’s offers in the past for a Palestinian state? Because the plan also recognized the right for Israel to exist. But ALL Palestinian -related charters call for the annihilation of Israel and Jews. All of them do. To them, there can only be one country – Palestine, within those borders. THEY themselves often chant, “From the river (Jordan river) to the Sea (Mediterranean), Palestine shall be free.” Those boundaries acknowledge nothing for Israel’s existence. Nothing. Be very, very aware of this.
I expect Palestine will be glad to see countries voting to have a Palestinian state but I predict they will never accept a “two-state solution.”
But you all need to also understand something very, very serious about all this. God Almighty in His word calls the disputed land, “MY Land.” HIS land. God’s land. Let’s read it. You have to understand how GOD views all this. God promised all of that land to Abraham and his descendants who came through Isaac and Jacob (Israel) – Gen.12:7; 17:8; 26:3; Exodus 33:1-2.
Let’s see what the one true Living God says as one of the primary reasons for His hot anger against Gaza.
Joel 3:1-2 "For behold, in those days and at that time, When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.”
If you continue reading Joel 3, you will see that God promises terrible punishment and destruction on those who get involved in taking God’s land. Even Jews and Jewish leaders who surrendered land to Palestinians were always struck by God one way or another shortly after dividing up God’s land.
Remember we’re commanded to PRAY FOR the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6). Let’s be sure we’re doing that
Now notice God’s further warnings of dire consequences for all nations and peoples – and especially Gazans -- who fight against Israel.
Joel 3:4 "Indeed, what have you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia?
Will you retaliate against ME? But if you retaliate against Me,
Swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head.”
Joel 3:12-16 "Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.
Come, go down; For the winepress is full, The vats overflow —
For their wickedness is great."
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark, And the stars will diminish their brightness.
16 Yehovah (the LORD) also will roar from Zion,
And utter His voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake; But YHVH will be a shelter for His people,
And the strength of the children of Israel.”
Joel 3:19-21 "Egypt shall be a desolation, And Edom a desolate wilderness,
Because of violence against the people of Judah,
For they have shed innocent blood in their land.
But Judah shall abide forever, And Jerusalem from generation to generation. For I will acquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted; For YHVH dwells in Zion."
And frankly God’s word against the Gazans is not pretty because of what they continually do against God’s people Israel. Here’s God speaking:
Amos 1:6-8 ESV Thus says YHVH: "For three transgressions of GAZA, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they carried into exile a whole people to deliver them up to Edom.
7 So I will send a fire upon the wall of GAZA,
and it shall devour her strongholds.
8 I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; I will turn my hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish," says YHVH God.”

By the way, just as I had dogmatically said a while back, there will be no rapture and there was no rapture on Sept 23 or 24, 2025, though countless false prophets have been telling us it would happen this year. They prophesied falsely last year as well. Be VERY leery of “prophets” who say God showed them a vision, or revealed to them prophecies in a dream. God says they claim He revealed things to them when God says He did no such thing (Jeremiah 14:14; 29:9) and they are lying.
And why can’t people just read the clear statement of Yeshua that when He DOES finally come to collect his Bride the elect saints, it will be AFTER the tribulation of those days – which is ahead of us still. It can’t get clearer than this. Don’t let false prophets use up any of your time or cause you to fear. But BE ready. Be spiritually awake. Repent and turn from sins. Be ready for when the Christ does return to gather his Bride. But look at the timing Jesus so clearly gave for that event:
Matthew 24:29-31 "Immediately AFTER the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 THEN the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”
Pray for Jerusalem, for Israel, for Prime Minister Netanyahu and our own president Trump. Don’t support giving up God’s land to any Palestinians. It’s not their land! It’s the land of God and He wants nobody dividing up HIS land. But do be watching. Watch also your own spiritual state. BE READY. Stay awake and alert. Repent of lukewarmness and Laodiceanism. Hallelujah.
