The Good Side
(Islam views the West as its Enemy)
“The West” is made up of Europe and the Western Hemisphere plus Australia and New Zealand; in other words, the World of the Holy Bible. They look on Israel as an outward and out of place appendage of “the West” (“people of the book”).
So the lines are drawn between Western Civilization versus Islam (from Morocco to the Philippines). It is in fact, Islam of the Koran versus Judeo-Christianity of the Holy Bible.
This means that we look into the Bible to see what our side teaches (what the Bible teaches).
4000 years ago Yahweh (the God of the Bible) made a Covenant with Abraham giving Abraham and his offspring thru Isaac and Jacob (The Jews) the Land of Canaan. This land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, between Mount Herman and Elat, became the Holy Land. It was Yahweh’s special land and He gave it to the Jews unconditionally unchangingly and everlastingly, the year Abraham entered Cannon was 1875 BC. See Genesis 12:1-7, 13:15-17, 17:1-13). written 1420 BC
Because of this Israel has the Divine Right to the Holy Land. No one else has the right to occupy it and/or call it their own property or their own land.
Now, it is true that God removed Israel from the Holy Land. This was because of Israel’s disobedience and idolatry. The Covenant God made with Israel, through Moses was 600 years after the Covenant He made with Israel through Abraham. This second fellowship with Israel: if they were faithful to God, He would bless them in the Holy Land; if they were unfaithful to God, He would discipline them by exile off the Holy Land.
God said that even if He had to discipline them (as a Father with His children), that He would operate on His original Covenant with Abraham. This is stated in Leviticus 26:39-46 Written 1380 BC. For additional Two Covenant information click here.
God also promised to return The Jews to their homeland and re-establish Israel as a nation in the Holy Land. This is repeated many times in the Old Testament.
A few key passages on this promised return of Israel are these:
Jeremiah 16:14-16 written 600 BC
Ezekiel 28:24-26 written 580 BC
Amos 9:11-15 written 700 BC
Zechariah 8:7-13, 22-23 written 520 BC
God will use Gentiles to carry the Jews home:
Isaiah 43:5-6 written 700 BC
*** Israel became a nation again May 14, 1948 ***
Also God is going to make Jerusalem a huge problem for all the World’s nations:
And He is going to strongly Judge all the nations that try to take the Holy Land away from the Jews:
Psalm 83: 2-18 written 1000 BC
Joel 3: 1-8 written 835 BC
Since the Christian Church came from the Jewish roots through the life and death and resurrection of Jesus a Jew; and since the Christian Church shares the Holy Bible with the Jewish religion; we are considered one civilization: The Judeo-Christian civilization of “The West”. We stand together because we are related to the same Book (Bible) and to the same God (Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob). So, to Islam, the Judeo-Christian world is its greatest “enemy”, its greatest roadblock to reaching their goal in this present crisis.
This brings us to the present crisis: what is it all about, anyway? Who is fighting whom, and why?
