Dividing Israel, Defying God: The World's Dangerous Path Toward Judgment

This September, the world will take one more dangerous step toward disaster.

At the United Nations General Assembly, a growing coalition of nations—once counted as friends of Israel—will formally push to recognize a Palestinian state. Canada. France. The United Kingdom. Nations who once stood against terrorism are now preparing to reward it with legitimacy, flags, and U.N. seats.

Make no mistake: this is not about peace. It’s about power. It’s about appeasing an ideology that has raised its children to hate Jews and murder Israelis. And it’s about something even more sobering for believers: this is another step to fulfilling bible prophecy.

France, co-chairing a UN summit with Saudi Arabia, has confirmed it will recognize a Palestinian state this September. Canada—once a bold ally of Israel—has caved under pressure, linking recognition to vague “reforms” within the Palestinian Authority. And the UK has issued an ultimatum: either Israel halts its operations in Gaza and abandons future annexation efforts, or London will proceed with recognition.

These decisions are not occurring in isolation. Ireland, Norway, Spain, Slovenia, and others joined the chorus in 2024. By this fall, more than 147 of the 193 UN member states will recognize a Palestinian state—roughly 75% of the global community.

In other words, the world is uniting to divide the land of Israel.

For those who take the Word of God seriously, this is no small diplomatic debate. Scripture warns—repeatedly—that dividing the land of Israel is a direct provocation against God’s purposes.

“I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for… dividing up my land.” —Joel 3:2

“On that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people… and all who try to lift it will hurt themselves.” —Zechariah 12:3

In their rush to impose a “solution,” the nations are sowing the seeds of divine wrath. They believe they are peacemakers, but in reality, they are playing with fire—eternal fire.

This international movement eerily resembles the prophesied global alignment against Jerusalem. And though the final chapter of history has not yet arrived, we are watching the table being set.

This is not just spiritually reckless—it’s politically insane. Here are five reasons why the creation of a Palestinian state in today’s conditions will only lead to more violence, not peace:

The Palestinian Authority has spent decades glorifying violence, naming schools after terrorists, and broadcasting genocidal messages on state-run media. The children of Gaza and the West Bank have not been raised for peace—they’ve been raised for martyrdom. Creating a state under this education system is not justice. It is state-sponsored hatred.

After Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, it got rockets in return. Do we really believe that creating a terror state right next to Jerusalem will bring quiet? Recognition will embolden radicals, not restrain them. The frontline will move from the border to the bedroom communities of Tel Aviv.

Yes, you read that right. The PA operates a “pay for slay” policy—giving monthly stipends to the families of terrorists who kill Jews. This isn't just an evil practice—it’s taxpayer-funded jihad. And yet the West is rushing to bless this regime with full statehood.

Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, slaughtering 1,200 people and kidnapping over 250. In response, what has the international community done? Sanctioned Israel. Condemned its defense. And now, rewarded the ideology that made those attacks possible by granting its supporters the keys to a nation.

Let’s be clear: while Hamas fires the rockets, the Palestinian Authority writes the checks and cheers from the sidelines. The ideological difference is minimal. Both parties reject the Jewish state’s right to exist. Both promote “return” fantasies that mean the destruction of Israel. Recognition won’t elevate moderates—it will hand radicals a microphone.

A recognized Palestinian state will not be satisfied with the West Bank. The heart of their campaign has always been Jerusalem—particularly East Jerusalem and the Temple Mount. Once statehood is secured, international pressure will mount to divide the Holy City. That, according to Zechariah 14, is the line God Himself will not allow the nations to cross without consequences.

We are living in days of global deception. What is being sold as “peace” is in fact the reward of terrorism. What is being presented as diplomacy is, in truth, a direct challenge to God’s covenant with Israel.

The nations of the earth may gather to vote, legislate, and divide—but the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will not be mocked. His promises still stand. And those who seek to divide what He has declared indivisible will find themselves facing something far more fearsome than public opinion: the judgment of the Lord of Hosts.

Let the Church be watchful. Let the people of God be vocal. And let every believer remember: the fate of nations is not determined in the United Nations—but in the throne room of Heaven.
