The Book of Psalms As A Prophetic Book - Part 2

In my last post i discussed how the early years of Israel found its prophecies in the Book of Psalms and I paused at the year 1973, the year the Yom Kippor War took place. It was an amazing year and Israel took back the whole of the Golan Height which belonged to King Solomon during his reign and was included in the Book of Genesis when God declared that He will give the land to Abraham and his Seed forever.

Psalm 91 -In the first Gulf War, Saddam Hussein rained 39 Scud missiles into Israel and miraculously none in the land was killed by any of the missiles. The Lord protected the nation like a mother hen would over her young chicks and we can find the reference in verse 4, "He shall cover you with His feathers and under His wings you shall take refuge." Who would have thought that when Israel was asked by the USA not to get involved in the Guilf War that Saddam Hussein would have fired all those 39 missiles and look at the wonder of our Lord protecting His own helpless ones in the land of Israel. The fact that no one was killed was a miracle. Granted there was one death but the cause of death was a heart attack - an old man saw the effects of the missile on his home and his heart gave way.
Psalm 205 -In this psalm we have an account of how our Lord delivered the children of Israel from the land of Egypt and how He had been given them the land as an inheritance (verses 42-45). In September 2005, the IDF was sent into Gaza Strip to remove the Jewish settlers so that the Palestinians could occupy their former homes. In the psalm there was much sorrow from the people but He was there to remind them that He is for them and that He will care for them.
Psalm 208:9 -"Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe, Over Philistia I will triumph". Who would have thought that President Bush would be greeted by a pair of shoes when he visited Bagdad in November 2008 and who would have expected Israel to attack the Gaza Strip to take out the Hamas terrorists for what they had been doing to Israel - over 8000 shells were fired into Israel from Gaza Strip in the spell of three years. Israel finally said, "enough is enough!" and unilaterally took action to silence the terrorists. Verse 12-13 tells us, "Give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless. Through God we will do valiantly for it is He who shall thread down our enemies." Israel had been left to defend for itself; even its best friend (USA) turned against it and criticize it for what it did.
