“On that day, when
all the nations of the earth are gathered against her
, I will
make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to
move it will injure themselves.” 

Zechariah 12:3

On the floor of the United Nations
General Assembly,
in front of the nations of the world,
Netanyahu quoted from the Bible no fewer than five times
. Surely
more than any other speech in UN history.

1. “Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob”

Calling up the fathers of faith, Israel’s
Prime Minister pronounced to all that it is not the United Nations, nor
the United States, nor a slipshod “two-state solution” that will
establish the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, but only the
promises of the God of Israel as spoken in His word to their
forefathers.

For Israel’s Prime Minister, it seems,
God’s word is as politically correct and relevant today as ever.

2. “The Persian king Cyrus
issued a famous edict in which he proclaimed the right of the Jews to
return to the land of Israel and rebuild the Jewish temple in
Jerusalem.”

In this brilliant admonition of Iran’s
anti-Israel madness, Netanyahu pointed out that it was the Persian King
Cyrus himself who supported the return of the Jewish people to Israel.
How shrewd of the Prime Minister to remind the Iranian people that they
themselves were instruments in God’s hands to fulfill His plan to
establish the Jewish people in the Land of Israel….

Like the prophets of old, Netanyahu
directly confronted that ancient enemy of Israel calling upon them to
abandon the path of fighting against God’s will concerning the Jewish
people. Fighting against the purposes of God will only backfire
in the end. For “presidents of Iran have come and gone,” said Netanyahu,
“and (yet) we re-established our sovereign state in our ancestral
homeland, the land of Israel.”

3. “A wolf in sheep’s
clothing”

Apparently, Israel’s Jewish Prime
Minister also reads the New Testament. This quote taken directly from
the Gospel of Matthew suggests that the true nature of Israel’s foes
will be revealed by their actions, as seen in the following verse in
Jesus’ sermon: “By their fruits shall ye know them.”

After systematically recalling a long
list of the new Iranian president Rouhani’s murders, killings and terror
over the years, Netanyahu exposed the “brazen contrast, this
extraordinary contradiction, between Rouhani’s words and Iran’s
actions.”

One could almost picture Jesus himself
over-turning the tables in the Temple as Netanyahu tried to shake the
world’s leaders out of their apathy and wake them up to the imminent
dangers of Iran’s deceitfulness….

4. “Israel will stand
alone”

…when Netanyahu declared in his speech
that if necessary Israel would stand alone to defend herself against the
Iranian nuclear threat, the Prime Minister was referring to a prophecy
in Deuteronomy 33:28.

The prophecy reads,
“Then Israel shall dwell in safety, the
fountain of Jacob alone…happy are you O Israel! Who is like you, a
people saved by the Lord.”

Constantly under pressure from the
nations of the world, Israel’s prime minister seems to have internalized
the profound truth that more than any other nation in the world Israel
must trust in the Lord for her salvation.

5. “I will plant them upon
their soil never to be uprooted again”

Quoting from the Prophet Amos in English
and then in Hebrew, Netanyahu made it clear to all who are listening
that no threat, nuclear or otherwise, will remove Israel from the Land.
For the Lord Himself has established His people here.

“The people of Israel have come home
never to be uprooted again,”
concluded Netanyahu.
