THEY NEED TO DO THE MATH

With all the conflict in the Middle East, all the antisemitism, all the hatred of Israel and the Jewish people, it is increasingly evident that Israel's enemies don't realize that to be an enemy of Israel is to be an enemy of God. Read part of this Psalm by Asaph, Psalm 83:1-8

1 O God, do not be silent. Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet, O God.

2 Don’t You hear the uproar of Your enemies?

Don’t you see that Your arrogant enemies are rising up?

3 They devise crafty schemes against Your people;

they conspire against Your precious ones.

4 “Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation.

We will destroy the very memory of its existence.”

5 Yes, this was their unanimous decision.

They signed a treaty as allies against You—

6 these Edomites and Ishmaelites;

Moabites and Hagrites;

7 Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites;

and people from Philistia and Tyre.

8 Assyria has joined them, too,

and is allied with the descendants of Lot.

You'd think they might have done their homework...or else God really doesn't figure into their plans and schemes. They haven't "done the math."
