Israel, you shall not be alone, forsaken or rejected! (Isaiah 62-1-4). By the grace of Adonai this is a new dawn for a better experience in a world consisting of a post-colonial Africa and Middle East. Scroll to consider👉🏾..
Consider what?…through Adonai’s biblical promises you shall counter the impact of the past ages of colonial and imperial subjugation at the hands of the ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Romans, the Spanish Inquisition, German Nazis and now war with Hamas. I believe Yeshua can carry and understand such struggles as he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities and was rejected of men (Isaiah 53). It makes sense that only He can divinely and exclusively relate to your complex history, unlike many who choose to ignore the wider context.
As a man who tries to delight in the law like King David (Psalm 1), I can relate to following the precepts of Adonai and hoping in His promises, yet sometimes only experiencing rejection after rejection or battle after battle. Similarly, Yeshua is known as the Son of David, both who said, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Psalm 22:1). Adonai has not forgotten Israel! You are a first born son (Exodus 4:22), carrying greater moral and spiritual responsibility. Thus, Adonai holds you to higher standards in contrast to other nations! Try to make the links. P.S. Psalm 22 has additional Yeshua references.
Jacob, your forefather, “wrestled” with Adonai. So perhaps it is almost prophetic for you to do the same today, me too. But I try to surrender to his son, Yeshua, who is key for real peace which starts within. “Within”, because according to scripture, your enemies shall dwell among you geographically to test your faith in God (Judges 2:20-23; 3:1-6). Better to find inner peace before the end of days or a false peace comes.
Yeshua has not given me all the answers to my questions, yet ironically He is my Answer, Truth and Peace. Israel, like myself, you need Salvation. I believe your Isaiah 62:1-4 redemption has already started!
P.S. Like King Taharqo (Tirhakah), some of the sons of Ham should always try to assist Judah.
