History Revolves Around Jesus & Israel

Is it just a coincidence?

Zechariah 12:1 This message concerning the fate of Israel came from the LORD: "This message is from the LORD, who stretched out the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the spirit within humans. 2I will make Jerusalem and Judah like an intoxicating drink to all the nearby nations that send their armies to besiege Jerusalem. 3On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone, a burden for the world. None of the nations who try to lift it will escape unscathed.

President Bush’s Road Map to Peace calls for “a progressive Israeli withdrawal from the occupied territories in a series of confidence building measures.”

August 17, 2005 Israel starts the forced evacuation of the Gaza Strip (21 communities) and the West Bank (4 communities). A total of 25 communities are to be destroyed and turned over to the Palestinians.
Jerusalem Post

August 23, 2005 - The last Israeli settlements, Netzarim in the Gaza Strip and Homesh and Sa-Nur in the West Bank are evacuated and turned over to the Palestinians.

August 23, 2005 - Tropical Storm Katrina was birthed in the Bahamas.
Chicago Tribune

August 29, 2005 – Hurricane Katrina slams into the Gulf Coast and destroys communities from New Orleans to Alabama.
Hurrican Katrina

Is it just a coincidence that the disengagement took 7 days and there were 7 days from the time Katrina was birthed until it slammed into the Gulf coast?

Is it just a coincidence that the Gaza Strip is along the coast of Israel and major damage to the United States happened along the coast?

Is it just a coincidence that the West Bank lines the Jordan River and New Orleans is on the Mississippi River?

Could God be saying "you mess with Israel and I will mess with your country?" How many communities were destroyed because of Katrina? Was it 25? Was it less? Are there more to come?

What is God saying?

What is our response?

Tom,
You bring up some interesting points. It is an important time to keep both eyes wide open and not sleep as so many others do.
The next time Secretary Rice and the President put the squeeze on Israel I won't be surprised to see more devestation and calamity here.
These blind leaders of the blind will be incapable of understanding the connection as their pride blinds them. watch.org and babylonthegreatisfalling.net are a few who understand the hour is late for us.
