Who is behind everything that happens in the nation of Israel?
Satan is behind everything that happens in the nation of Israel. As soon as God announced to Abraham that a separated people would bring the Redeemer, Satan went into high gear to thwart God's program. Israel's unbelief, attacks from the Gentile world, and today's global pressure against Israel are Satan's ploy to destroy the Jews and stop God's prophecies.
Les teaches that just as soon as God announced to Abraham that through this man He would bring out a separated people and that through this people would come a Redeemer of the whole human race, Satan immediately put everything in high gear to thwart the program of God. History shows that Satan has constantly fought God's dealing with the nation of Israel. Everything that comes about in the nation of Israel, in their unbelief, in their attacks from the Gentile world, Satan does. Even today, Les explains, the whole world is voting against the little nation of Israel and trying to push them tighter and tighter into a smaller area of Jerusalem. That is the Satanic ploy to get rid of the nation of Israel, because if Satan can succeed in getting rid of the Jew and the nation of Israel, then God cannot perform His prophecies, since all the prophecies rest on Israel.
