1. G-d acting through people, and
2. People saying they're doing what G-d wants them to do?
This is a very pertinent question, since Christians, Jews, and Muslims all have differing ideas about the future of Jerusalem, and all three claim they're doing what G-d wants them to do.
In a related matter, why is the US using drones to spy on Iran? If you'll recall, the Vietnam War got underway in earnest when a US asset (Navy destroyers) allegedly came under fire while allegedly in international waters. The reality is the Vietnamese did NOT shoot at them, and they appear to have been in Vietnamese waters as a deliberate provocation intended to provide a pretext for war.
Perhaps THAT is why our drones are there ... and perhaps, as the Iranians say, we violated their airspace.
Is ANY of this what G-d wants us to do?
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5:38-39 KJV
Doesn't this apply to relations between nations as well as between individuals?
