All Israel News is reporting that this week’s vote by the United Nations (“UN”) General Assembly demanding that Israel fully evacuate the West Bank within twelve months or face massive international economic sanctions and arms embargoes has infuriated Israeli officials, as well as pro-Israel Evangelical and conservative leaders in the United States and around the globe, who regard Judea and Samaria not as the “West Bank” but as their biblical homeland.
Also upsetting are the continuing efforts of UN Secretary General António Guterres to obtain the authority to implement sweeping emergency powers if he declares that various international crises or “complex global shocks” necessitate fast UN action, as first laid out in a 26-page position paper issued during March 2023.
Former U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (R/MN), who is currently Dean of the Robertson School of Government, Regent University, told Frank Gaffney, Founder of the Center for Security Policy, Washington D.C., that what Secretary General Guterres and the UN General Assembly are trying to do is “to have each of the nations on earth give a portion of their national sovereignty to the UN, so that the UN can make decisions that will impact all nations on earth.”

My brothers and sisters, the position of the UN, whether regarding Israel or virtually all of its human rights decisions, has been consistently flawed and skewed in the direction of totalitarian countries.
The completely unbiblical view of the world, and in this case, the significance of the Holy Land – where Jesus was born, taught, was crucified, was resurrected as the Savior of the World, and to where He will return to establish His reign upon the earth, could not be more apparent.
Scripture makes it clear that in the latter times, some (or many) will be affected by deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons:
1 Timothy 4:1-2 (NKJV)
The Great Apostasy
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron…”.
The evil one has a nearly complete stranglehold upon the UN – which speaks to how many millions of persons across the globe still need to be saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus!
Praise God that it is the will of the Father for ALL to be saved:
1 Timothy 2:4-6 (NKJV)
God Desires All To Be Saved
“[God our Savior] desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all…”.
As believers, and so long as we have breath, let’s pray for a global revival that softens the hearts of the deceived toward Jesus, allowing for the Holy Spirit to penetrate hardened hearts and for the truth of the gospel to be heard and accepted across the globe.
The truth of the scriptures penetrates our hearts and brings life, but sin brings ignorance, hardness of heart, and the unwillingness to name Jesus as Lord:
Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (Amplified Bible)
“These words, which I [God] am commanding you today, shall be [written] on your heart and mind. You shall teach them diligently to your children [impressing God’s precepts on their minds and penetrating their hearts with His truths] and shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.”
Ephesians 4:17-18 (ESV)
Do Not Allow Your Heart to Become Hardened
“Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.”
And we should never forget, ignore or minimize that Satan (i.e., the evil one, the devil) is the deceiver of the whole world:
Revelation 12:7-9 (ESV)
Satan Thrown Down to Earth
“Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world [emphasis mine]—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.”
