You know that I struggle with this in my
own life big time. Jacob struggles with
the question of all questions.
Why? Why, God? Jacob was so good. He
only wanted to do good. He didn't have a
bad bone in his body. Why do you put him
up against Asav and Lavan at all? Why do
you send evil his way and make him
escape being killed, working for slave
wages for 20 years, used and abused over
and over again? Why did you do that to
such a good man? You look at Israel
today, by far the best country in the
region. We have no natural resources.
We're not sitting on our tails just
sucking up oil and selling it off to
other nations. And everyone in Israel
has a place. Every religion has a place.
It's the freest country in the Middle
East. Israel as a country is so good.
Hashem, why you send Hamas on us? Why
Iran, the jihad, and all their proxies
against Israel? Like, what is that
about? So many hearts are turning
against Israel. Why are you making
Israel's life so hard? Why do we have to
deal with this evil? That's a real
struggle that Israel is dealing with
now. And so, it's like a replay of
Jacob's life all over again. It's not
just that evil exists. Evil is harming
the good. Jacob really struggled with
God. All of Israel after 2 years of war
is struggling. Like what is going on?
Why the challenges, the pain, the
hardships? Everyone I speak to is going
through a certain exile. Why are these
people of light confronted with so much
darkness? That is the struggle with God.
When we hold on and we prevail, we
become Israel. So what does that exactly
look like? So here are my thoughts.
goodness. It's just not enough. It's not
enough to be good, hiding in a tent,
locked away, being good in theory. You
can be as tame or as righteous as you
want. But as long as you're hidden away,
you haven't really accomplished Israel's
mission.
Israel means to struggle with man, to
struggle with God, and prevail.
Shalom. My name is Jeremy Gimpel. We
started an online seminar teaching
life-changing biblical wisdom revealed
from the original Hebrew and straight
from the mountains of Judea. With global
instability on the rise, more and more
people are turning to God, realizing now
they don't exactly know where to look
for guidance. The Bible says the
guidance will come from the land of
Israel. What started as an online
seminar has grown into a global
fellowship with hundreds of members from
over 30 countries. We are participating
in fulfilling prophecy as we learn the
Bible through the eyes of prophecy with
a focus on what it's telling about us in
our lives today. What you will discover
is that the wisdom transmitted thousands
of years ago is speaking directly to us
in our time right now. Instead of
learning the Bible as a religion, it's
the Torah of Israel, the living guidance
of God. So, please join us for our next
online gathering and get access to the
full library of teachings that the Land
of Israel Fellowship is offering. I
don't know how you found this video or
what compelled you to click on that
link, but I don't believe in coincidence
and I would encourage you to take the
next step on your journey toward the
land of Israel. I hope to see you at the
Land of Israel Fellowship. Shalom.
