Satan's Plans Are the Opposite of God's
- God promised to preserve the people of Israel; therefore, Satan wants to wipe them out.
- God promised to bring us back to the Land; therefore, Satan wants to keep us out (or drive us out).
- God promised that Jesus would return to a Jewish Jerusalem; therefore, Satan wants to keep it out of Jewish hands.
- God promised that a Jewish Jerusalem would welcome back the Messiah; therefore, Satan wants to keep Jews away from Jesus.

Why We Love Israel
5. Because no People is so near and yet so far
5. Because no People is so near and yet so far
Hebrew: Kiddush HaShem (קִידּוּשׁ הַשֵּׁם) = The Sanctification of the Name
A Jewish daily prayer:
He is the living God to save,
My Rock while sorrow's toils endure,
My banner and my stronghold sure,
The cup of life whene'er I crave.
I place my soul within His palm
Before I sleep as when I wake,
And though my body I forsake,
Rest in the Lord in fearless calm.
He is the living God to save,
My Rock while sorrow's toils endure,
My banner and my stronghold sure,
The cup of life whene'er I crave.
I place my soul within His palm
Before I sleep as when I wake,
And though my body I forsake,
Rest in the Lord in fearless calm.
