The whole world, including the overwhelming majority of what passes for the Christian church today, is under strong delusion. Exactly as God’s inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, eternal living and active Word tells us plainly, clearly this is how it will be in the very last of the last days.
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians 2:5-12
Apostle Paul is directing his words to the time within the Great Seven Year Tribulation, but if wise, if keen in knowing, if discerning and rightly dividing matters, you then know nothing happens in a vacuum, nothing happens overnight or out of the blue, contrary to many people thinking otherwise. Lawlessness, corruption, delusion, wickedness oozes, ekks, slithers, drips, and slides in slowly until a person is treading everything around them, their feet no longer on a solid foundation as their world has become filled with lies and evil. Which they have permitted and even, along the way, accepted and given their approval to. Drowning in lies and evil. How’d that happen? Slowly and being asleep in one’s soul and spirit. Not abiding, living in the whole Word of God. On autopilot. Deceiving themselves as they are deceived. Imagine that.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the Lord.
They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
But shall not find it.”
Amos 8:11-12
God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 1:18-32
It is all an erosion process. Entropy. The wearing down, the breaking down. Of everything. We live in a time of the greatest lawlessness, wickedness, unrighteousness, and strong delusion with people, many people, most people believing lies and refusing the truth than at any other time in over a hundred years. Even in the past, in times where someone would dispute this and bring up times in world history of great lawlessness and delusion there has never been such a time as this, which we all live in, wherein sexual depravity, abuses, violence, all manner of immorality, perversions, lying, lawlessness, wickedness and strong delusion are the norm, the accepted and approved.
In places, in institutions that would never have been touched, at least touched to the depth and breadth they now are in all things evil, sinful, wicked, and in blatant rebellion against God.
To the point — Israel will stand and go on even if the evil world in all its rage, darkness, hatred of God and Jews, hatred of Israel and the truth, hatred of God’s Word — Israel will stand even if somehow the deceived authorities in this world cutup Israel into pieces and only left one Jew in one space.
Because Israel is God’s land. Jerusalem is God’s city. The Jews are His people whom He made a covenant — an eternal promise, because God has never and will never go back on His Word, unlike men and women, and children do.
Israel will stand. Forever. Even during every great and horrible tribulation. Israel will stand. Israel is the apple of God’s eye.
God is with Israel. God is not with the world or anyone who comes against Israel and His people.
You don’t like that? Tough. Too bad. Take it up with God when you come face to face with Him in Judgment. He is the Creator. It is His world. You are His creation. Think you’ll be able to tell God He’s wrong? What, this isn’t what is taught in your church? Your pastor says otherwise? Well, you’re in the wrong church, and your pastor/preacher/minister/priest is telling you lies and isn’t telling you what is contained within God’s faultless, perfect, eternal, and unchangeable Word.
Tell your pastor/preacher/minister/priest to do an in-depth series of sermons on Romans 9, Romans 10, and Romans 11, along with the conversion of Saul of Tarsus, a Jew, a Pharisee, a persecutor of the Way, those who were following the LORD Jesus Christ — for if God was done with the Jews and Israel with the advent of Christ, the LORD’S crucifixion, death, and resurrection how was it Saul was spoken to by Jesus and converted? Born again from above? And the first followers of Jesus were almost exclusively Jews?
But don’t go off on a tangent. Make sure to have your pastor/preacher/minister/priest do that series of in-depth sermons on Romans 9, Romans 10, and Romans 11 — making sure he prays in front of the congregation that he be entirely led in his words by the Holy Spirit of God and not utter one false word, not one word of his own.
See how that goes.
Let me know in the comments section below.
Israel isn’t going anywhere. And if you are among the remnant who do faithfully believe and obey, or yet lost and unsaved, but will become saved, you will come to know as you go to Jerusalem each year, regularly to honor, worship, and glorify the King of kings, the LORD of lords, Jesus Christ, Yeshua Hamashiac, Who sits on the throne of David and rules over all the earth. From Israel. From Jerusalem.
The world is going to die and go to hell with their spiritual jaws locked onto a two-state solution like a pit bull locked onto the backside of your mailman unless such darkness and evil repents and sees, comes, enters into the Light, the Truth, the Way, leading to Life — that’s Jesus!
Oh, before I go for now…want to really do the right thing? Give people the land they deserve and were promised? Do the right thing? Show compassion? Well, then, it’s time to make Israel the size and territory God laid it out to be in His Word. Go check that out as well in the Holy Bible [God’s words to us, His will to be known to us] and get back to me. Oh, and tell your pastor/preacher/minister/ or priest, and let me know how that went as well.

Two-State Delusion: Why Efforts To Carve A ‘Palestinian State’ Out Of Israel Will Inevitably Fail
June 3, 2025
By Les Crawford
Reprinted from Harbinger’s Daily
In response to the Israel-Gaza war and the ongoing tension between the Israelis and Palestinians, the proposal of a two-state solution is again on the table as a viable way of bringing peace to the region. Is this idea reality or fantasy?
Some historical background assists in answering this question. First, what is the two-state solution? As far back as 1937, Britain suggested splitting what was left of British Mandate Palestine into an Arab state in the south and a Jewish state in the north, with Jerusalem as an international zone. Britain saw this plan as an expression of its commitment to the Jewish people as voiced in the 1917 Balfour Declaration, as well as a solution to the uncontrolled violence in the region.
The Arabs (they did not call themselves Palestinians until 1967–68) rejected the proposal; and Britain realized that it demanded the forced relocation of large populations, which was not viable.
Carving Up the Territory
After World War II, the newly formed United Nations on November 29, 1947, passed Resolution 181 to partition British Mandate Palestine into two entities: one Arab, one Jewish. The Jewish leaders welcomed the U.N. plan; the Arab leaders rejected it. On May 14, 1948, the 30-year-old British Mandate expired. The British left the region; and Israel declared statehood, leading to the War of Independence as Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and Transjordan (now Jordan) all attacked the fledgling Jewish state.
All these countries had been part of the 400-year-old Ottoman Empire, which was defeated in World War I. After that war, the League of Nations, the U.N.’s precursor, gave the British a mandate to govern three former Ottoman provinces plus Palestine, a 45,560-square-mile (118,000 sq. km) piece of land that extended well beyond the Jordan River. It gave France a mandate to govern what are now Syria and Lebanon. Syria and Lebanon eventually secured their independence.
From the three Ottoman provinces, the British created Iraq. What remained was Palestine, the territory the League of Nations had designated for a Jewish national homeland. However, the British gave 77 percent of that land to the Arabs in 1922 to create Transjordan. Wrote Middle East expert Elwood McQuaid, “That left the Jews with a mere 23 percent—10,478 square miles, of which 4,500 square miles were desert.”
Israel won its independence in 1948 and established borders slightly beyond those in the U.N. Partition Plan. In 1967, Israel fought another major defensive war and, against all odds, won again. As a result, it gained control of the enormous, oil-rich Sinai Peninsula, which it gave back to Egypt in exchange for peace; Judea and Samaria (the West Bank); the Golan Heights; and Gaza. Israel also reunified Jerusalem, which the Jordanians divided after they seized the Old City in 1948 and expelled the Jewish people, who had lived there for centuries.
Since 1967, the Arabs have been searching for a way to reclaim lost ground, which has become the focus of the so-called two-state solution, as they demand Israel return to the pre-1967 borders.
In 1993, the Arabs and Israelis negotiated the first round of the Oslo Accords. While many matters remained unresolved, it seemed progress was being made to create another Arab state alongside Israel as a pathway to peace. However, an Israeli assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in November 1995 because of the Oslo Accords, dramatically halting the peace process.
In July 2000, U.S. President Bill Clinton hosted Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat at Camp David in hopes of obtaining a peace settlement. Barak offered, among other things, 92% of the West Bank; 100% of the Gaza Strip; a Palestinian capital in eastern Jerusalem; and sovereignty over half of the Old City. Arafat refused, enraging President Clinton. Two months later, Arab violence intensified when the Second Intifada erupted, prompting many observers to claim Arafat never wanted peace; he wanted all of Israel.
In 2002, Arab states proposed their own plan called The Arab Peace Initiative, which included recognition of Israel in exchange for a Palestinian state. (The Arabs have consistently refused to recognize Israel’s right to exist.) But Hamas massacred 30 civilians and injured 140 during the Jewish holiday of Passover, scuttling attempts at peace.
U.S. President Barack Obama tried to restart the peace process in 2008 but insisted Israel return to the pre-1967 borders, which Israel could not do for security and other reasons.
Roadblocks and Other Obstacles
For decades, all attempts at obtaining a two-state solution have met significant roadblocks. A major obstacle is the Arabs’ steadfast refusal to recognize Israel. Iran, the mastermind behind many terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, adamantly rejects the Jewish state’s legitimacy. This impassible barrier has existed since 1948.
Fueling the problem is the second insurmountable barrier to a two-state solution: the Arabs’ intense hatred of the Jewish people. The Israelis’ nearest neighbors would utterly destroy them if at all possible.
Hamas, Gaza’s governing authority, categorically states its agenda as the destruction of Israel. Other terrorist groups in the region share Hamas’s goal. Hatred of the Jewish people is imbedded in the Palestinian culture, which propagates and glorifies Jewish genocide.
This attitude applies also to the Arabs governed by Fatah, led by Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority (PA). As the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir said, “You cannot negotiate peace with somebody who has come to kill you.”
Many other complexities also hinder a two-state solution. The Arabs demand all descendants of former refugees be allowed to return to Israel proper. There are issues involving the Temple Mount, Jewish rights in eastern Jerusalem and the Old City, security arrangements in strategic areas, continuing settlement of Jewish and Arab populations, access to holy sites, and so much more.
Furthermore, who would govern a newly formed Palestinian state? Hamas certainly cannot be trusted after it savagely butchered more than 1,200 Israelis on October 7, 2023, and kidnapped hundreds more. Neither a residual Hamas nor the PA are suitable candidates, and it is highly unlikely a foreign authority would be acceptable to either side.
Despite this reality, on June 10, 2024, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution S/2024/448, which expressed an unwavering commitment to a two-state solution unifying the Gaza Strip with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority. This plan mimics President Obama’s solution some years earlier. In response, on July 17, 2024, Israel’s Knesset rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state, as the proposed governing authority would never be acceptable to Israel.
The Lord has His own solution: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, forever” (Ezek. 37:21–22, 25).
The two-state solution will not work. But in the end, the Lord has a one-state solution that will work forever.
