We May Be Different, But We Are United ✡ "In the Midst of Shomron" - ISRAEL365

And it came to pass, when they were come into Shomron, that Elisha said: ‘Hashem, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.’ And Hashem opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Shomron. II Kings 6:20 (The Israel Bible™) וַיְהִי כְּבֹאָם שֹׁמְרוֹן וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלִישָׁע יְהוָה פְּקַח אֶת עֵינֵי אֵלֶּה וְיִרְאוּ וַיִּפְקַח יְהוָה אֶת עֵינֵיהֶם וַיִּרְאוּ וְהִנֵּה בְּתוֹךְ שֹׁמְרוֹן מלאכים ב' ו:כ va-y'-hee k'-vo-am sho-m'-ron va-yo-mer e-lee-sha Ha-shem p'-kakh et ay-nay ay-leh vi-yir-u va-yif-kakh Ha-shem et ay-nay-hem va-yir-u v'-hi-nay bi-tokh sho-m'-ron

Today's Israel Inspiration When Elijah the Prophet ascended to heaven in the fiery chariot thus ending his life on earth, he bestowed upon his closest disciple, Elisha, his own supernatural powers including the ability to perform incredible miracles and a special closeness with God. Today's verse tells the story of one such instance when the Israelite army was facing attack from the Aramean nation. Elisha in particular was threatened as the King of Aram had sent out a warrant for his capture. But when the Aramean army approached Elisha and his forces, Elisha called out to God "Let their eyes be struck with blindness" so they would not realize whom was their target. Once the enemy was hit with such a weakness, Elisha was able to trick them, brought them to a place far away from the Israelites and removed the danger that threatened his people. From here we see absolute determination to remain rooted in the land God promised and remove any threat no matter what it takes.

Weaving together the facts of history, author Dr. Tricia Miller depicts how the blatant anti-Jewish sentiment exhibited by the evil Haman very closely relates to the contemporary issue of the contested legitimacy of the State of Israel as part of the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict. Indeed, Miller provides a helpful context for identifying the theological and historical errors that form the very foundation of the deeply flawed modern anti-Jewish and anti-Israel narrative that Palestinian Christians are promoting with the help of Evangelical leaders in the United States.
