Bury St Edmunds Christadelphians

In a multi-faith society there is confusion and uncertainty. Are all faiths equally valid? Is there only one right way based on one set of beliefs?

The Christadelphians are convinced that the Bible is the one true revelation from the one true God and that only by reading, understanding, believing and obeying that Word can anyone have a hope beyond the grave. All statements on religious topics should be assessed in the light of Bible teaching, a practice commended in the days of the apostle Paul.

We invite you to search the Scriptures with us.

Israel’s future under threat?

Current hostilities should not surprise Bible believers, for the attitudes and actions of Israel’s hostile neighbours were foretold many years ago. If you compare a map showing Israel’s enemies in Psalm 83 with a modern map of the same area, you will see a remarkable correspondence with the nations seeking Israel’s hurt and destruction.

Psalm 83 begins

Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

Note the similarity with the following documents. First, from Hezbollah Manifesto (1985 & 1988)

The Necessity for the Destruction of Israel

We see in Israel the vanguard of the United States in our Islamic world. It is the hated enemy that must be fought until the hated ones get what they deserve. This enemy is the greatest danger to our future generations and to the destiny of our lands, particularly as it glorifies the ideas of settlement and expansion, initiated in Palestine, and yearning outward to the extension of the Great Israel, from the Euphrates to the Nile.

Our primary assumption in our fight against Israel states that the Zionist entity is aggressive from its inception, and built on lands wrested from their owners, at the expense of the rights of the Muslim people. Therefore our struggle will end only when this entity is obliterated. We recognize no treaty with it, no cease fire, and no peace agreements, whether separate or consolidated.

Then from the Hamas Covenant (1988)

Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.

The Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine is an Individual Duty:

After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying.

Now read to the end of Psalm 83 to see the ultimate outcome.

You may have noticed the bold red text in the manifestos quoted above - their authors are aware of God’s promises to Abraham, indeed Islam claims that the promises belong to them, so they falsely accuse Israel of secret territorial ambitions. But the promises were made by God himself, this is God's plan, not Israel's...

In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: Genesis 15:18

The present situation will get much worse before it is resolved. To learn more of the inevitable outcome, go to the expanded article, Israel's future under threat?.
