Is this not what has been testified in this chapter? Israel will not know peace until the Prince of Peace
               rules in her midst. As long as the people of Israel reject their Messiah, they will be beset with enemies
               and undergo many trials and much injury. It is a manifestation of great arrogance for any nation to
               promise Israel peace when she has not first made peace with her Savior.


               The space shuttle Columbia disintegrated as it was attempting to re-enter the atmosphere. A piece of
               foam had broken loose from one of the rocket tanks during lift off and had struck one of the small
               heat shields on the surface of the shuttle. The dislodged heat shield allowed enormous heat to
               penetrate the skin of the shuttle leading to a fire and explosion. It was a rebuke to the hubris of man
               that its greatest piece of technology was destroyed by a piece of foam.

               There was much more to the event, however. The space shuttle disintegrated over Palestine, Texas.
               The first piece of debris was found near the town of Palestine. Following is an image published by
               the Associated Press on this disaster.

















               Here is another image.

















               The message from heaven is clear. “Do not touch My anointed. Do not usurp My role as the lifter of
               Israel. Israel will not know peace until she knows the Prince of Peace. Israel will be as a heavy stone
               to all who attempt to lift her. All who do so will be severely injured.” In the Old Testament do we not
               read that Yahweh chastised Israel every time she turned to the arm of the flesh for help?

               Ezekiel 29:6-7
               “All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am Yahweh, because they have been a staff of reed to
               the house of Israel. When they took hold of you by your hand, you broke, and tore all their shoulders;
               and when they leaned on you, you broke, and paralyzed all of their thighs.”


               If it is a grievous error for the nations to seek to fulfill a role only Yahweh can provide for Israel, is
               it not also error for Christians to stretch out their hands for good or for evil toward this nation? If
