I must admit that this report is one of the most nauseating news accounts of a Christian pastor that I have ever encountered. I would count it as one of the most egregious betrayals of Christâs New Covenant by a âChristian ministerâ that I have ever witnessed. The Scripture tells us, Ye that love the LORD, hate evil. (Psalm 97:10). Well, this is pure evil.
âIt wasnât until the Persians completely wiped out the Amalekites that Godâs will was fulfilled in that judgment,â Pastor John MacArthur told Shapiro. âNow, you might not like the fact that God is a judge but when God determines that Iâm going to protect my People Israel and youâre going to attack My People Israel, I have a plan for My People Israel, as the New Testament says, so all Israel will be saved, thereâs coming a kingdom he will fulfill every promise he ever gave ⊠God is going to preserve that people and if you are a threat to that people, historically speaking, God says you need to be removed.â
âI think about that story so often when I think about this is like the modern version of Amalek and until they are wiped out this is just going to go on and on,â MacArthur continued. âI know I donât want to be callous about things but God has in his sovereignty made a decision for the preservation of Israel into the future into the Kingdom of Messiah â thatâs his plan, thatâs his promise.â
âYou can be a part of that by coming to the Messiah and being a part of his kingdom but if you attempt to destroy the very people that are the heart and soul of Godâs plan, then you come under the Judgment of God and I think Israel is acting â even though theyâre, you know, a secular nation in the large sense because salvation is individual not national â I think their desire to protect and preserve them and to fight in a really, a Terminal Way, against those who would destroy them follows the divine pattern of God for the preservation of that people until he fulfills his plan for them,â MacArthur added.
âYou also know in the Old Testament, God said to the children of Israel when you go into the land destroy the Amalekites, destroy them, because Iâm bringing judgment down on their heads for their sins â I mean theyâre like a cancer in the world,â MacArthur responded.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opened the war by labeling the Palestinians âAmalekâ and other Israeli officials followed.
