Read this article titled: Maldives: A destination that bans Israelis, would you book a vacation there? - opinion
The subheadline reads: How long will it take before the Israeli ban broadens into the total exclusion of all Jews, no matter where they hail from?
The Bible-quoting writer, Cookie Schwaeber-Issan, is described as "a former Jerusalem elementary and middle school principal. She is also the author of Mistake-Proof Parenting, available on Amazon, based on the time-tested wisdom found in the Book of Proverbs."
What we have here is a believing Jew who thinks God is going to punish the Maldives President, the Maldives Parliament, and the Maldives Citizens, for "cursing" Jews, God's so-called "chosen" people, and God's so-called "chosen" land called Israel.
When unthinking, ignorant and arrogant people like this Cookie express their skewed opinions under the democratic right of free speech, one might wonder, why does God favor one race over the others? Why then did He create all kinds of races? What's so special about Jews anyway? But I guess this kind of logic can't be realized by a believing Jew.
Some interesting excerpts from the article:
The Maldives, a magnificent paradise that embodies the most sought-after and luxurious heavenly destinations, is being governed by the evilest of regimes, willing to disavow God, who has warned against the devastating effects for anyone who holds his beloved Israel in contempt.
In such cases, the Almighty has given us a foreshadowing of how He will respond to such acts: “I am exceedingly jealous for Zion; yes, with great wrath I am jealous for her. (Zech. 8:2)...
Nonetheless, the war has provided an acceptable outlet to rail against God’s chosen. But now that it’s out in the open, the Maldives should also be prepared to face the consequences of their actions, because their decision doesn’t go unnoticed.
Genesis 12:3, the scripture that clearly reminds us that anyone who curses Israel will themselves be cursed, is still in effect, bringing the resulting punishment upon those who hate the people and the land that God created for Himself.
Should I shudder with fear?
