Warning to Governments: Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos warns about consequences for those who oppose Israel

Cayey, Puerto Rico – September 13, 2025

In a new statement centered on an analysis of the international landscape, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos issued a warning to leaders and governments, urging them to thoroughly reconsider their foreign policy decisions regarding Israel, in order to avoid consequences that, in his view, could prove gravely harmful to their nations.

The message, released on September 13, 2025, is grounded on a reading of Old Testament texts and presents a direct connection between the position states take toward Israel and their future stability.

Jerusalem as An Axis of Protection and Conflict

Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos centered his analysis on chapter 12 of the book of Zechariah, which describes a scene of confrontation surrounding Jerusalem. Drawing on that reference, he maintained that the destiny of nations would be shaped by their actions toward the Israeli State.

In that context, he stated: “All nations need to know these prophecies so they don’t make a mistake, so they don’t end up regretting it afterward”, stressing the need to incorporate this kind of analysis into political decision-making.

He also warned about the impact that a lack of awareness on these subjects can have on the way states are governed: “Due to the decisions made by these leaders and presidents who don’t know the Scriptures… they say things that end up hurting the people”, drawing a direct connection between leadership, knowledge, and collective consequences.

A Critique of International Positions

The message included specific references to recent decisions on the international stage. In particular, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos questioned statements made by certain countries, noting that they reflect an insufficient understanding of the conflict.

In that regard, he said: “Like Spain, which has said something it shouldn’t have said. They speak about things without knowing”, extending his criticism to government advisory teams.

He further urged political advisors to incorporate new sources of analysis: “Instead, those same people behind the scenes (the advisors) should search, search the Scriptures… that is what God has always commanded: search the Scriptures, so as not to make a mistake”, emphasizing the need to reassess decision-making processes.

Action and Consequences in the International Stage

One of the main points of his argument is that the consequences nations face are not random, but the direct result of their own actions.

Within that framework, he explained: “For divine judgment to come upon a nation, upon a government…: it has to carry out an act to earn it”, introducing a cause-and-effect logic between political decisions and long-term outcomes.

Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos also warned about the current context, stating: “There is a great judgment upon all those nations that have been against Israel, and those that at this time will be against Israel. And they are against Israel! or they are turning against Israel”, in a statement that reinforces the cautionary tone of his message.

Somewhere Between Warning and Outcome

The closing of his address presents a clear duality: just as unfavorable decisions can lead to negative consequences, to be aligned with Israel is presented as a path toward stability and prosperity.

In this sense, his message forms part of a sustained line of narrative that seeks to influence the foreign policy of states and public opinion, combining strategic analysis, international positioning, and long-term projection.

In a global landscape marked by tensions and shifting power dynamics, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos reiterates one central point: a nation’s position toward Israel is not a secondary matter, but a determining factor in its destiny.
