Under Attack, but Under God's Protection!

Israel AND the United States of America are both under attack from Islam/Arab Muslims seeking to destroy both countries and peoples.

But we are both also under God's Protection, and that can be attributed to God's Promises and to our Prayers. We must continue to fight at the foot of Heaven's Throne and stand fast on the Truth in God's Word~His Whole Word, both Old and New. These are critical days that are only going to get worse, and we need to make sure we know "who" we are and "why" we are.

God will not be mocked: His Word is sure, and He is faithful to His Word. But we need to be on our knees!!

40 maps explain the history of the Middle East

Much attention is being focused on the economic chaos of the United States and other countries, such as Greece, and diverting attention away from the most important part of the world: Israel and its eternal capital, Jerusalem.

The link below will take you to a website comprised of 40 maps, showing the history of the Mediterranean and Mid-East countries. Though it is biased in its tone toward Israel, it does make for an incredible study and understanding of what has happened there and is happening now.

Night Is Falling

Night is FallingBy Matt Ward

The focus of everybody's attention is on the recent Supreme Court decision over gay marriage. It really is a perverse juxtaposition. The Middle East is on the brink of self-destruction and the entire world wide economy is about to self-implode. Life for everybody on this earth could get drastically worse very quickly, yet the issue which occupies all the attention is gay marriage. Why?   
The real motivation in this decision is not perhaps what it seems.

The real issue here is not to win equality in marriage for gay people, as so many believe. The real agenda here, and it is a satanic one, is to marginalize Christians. That is why this is being celebrated so widely and why, despite the plethora of other more important events and issues around the world, it occupies such a place of prominence.

The real agenda here is to put Christians in a position where they are finally legally exposed if they follow and practice their faith. The endgame is "to get" Christianity.

The desired outcome is not to liberalize and bring equality for gay people; the desired outcome is to put Christianity directly within the cross hairs so that its adherents can be proactively attacked and persecuted.

If you live in the United States of America and you are a Bible believing Christian you woke up in late June criminalized. If your desire is to live your life in a way pleasing to your Savior, then hard times are ahead; you and your beliefs have been rejected by the legal system of your country.

The repercussions of this judgment will be far reaching.
People write often, men and women that I respect, about the possibilities of national repentance and the spirit being poured out once again upon us. People better than I believe that if we would just turn our hearts back to God, then even now He would forgive us as a nation. With all my heart I wish that this were true but in reality, I simply don't believe that it is possible anymore.

There is no coming back from what has just happened.

What has taken place is an absolute affront to God. God ordained marriage as a covenant between one man and one woman. It is a picture of Jesus Christ's relationship with His Bride. This decision fundamentally corrupts God's will for mankind and it mocks Him.
 
This decision is a very deep offense to the nature of God. Even the rainbow colors, which are the symbol of the Pride movement, is purposely offensive and insulting to God. It is designed specifically to cause God offense. These are the colors which symbolize God's deliverance of mankind from a time of evil the likes of which this earth had not seen before.
 
A rainbow even surrounds the holy throne of God Himself. This rainbow, a symbol of deliverance, has now become corrupted and twisted, now in our time a symbol of sin and rebellion, the symbol of the Pride movement.
 
As I write this my heart is very unsettled within me. I am deeply troubled spiritually by what has happened. When we look at the biblical example of Sodom and Gomorrah, we need to understand that these cities were not destroyed until the leadership of these places actively mandated a homosexual lifestyle. With this decision America finds itself in an identical situation to Sodom and Gomorrah.

God loves mankind, deeply and desperately. He loves us so much that He has told us what is good for us and what is bad through His Word. He cares for us to such a huge extent that He has actually put Himself in the place of our execution. God Himself stands directly in our stead on our behalf.
 
God loves humanity, each and every person within it.
Yet it is because of this love that God will ultimately allow each person and nation to decide for themselves what they think is good. If a nation chooses friendship with God then He will come and make his home with that nation. If a nation chooses to walk away from God and follow its own path, God will allow it.
 
This decision means that America has chosen enmity with God. There will be consequences for it. For those of you who will hold to Jesus and His testimony, you are now marginalized, set apart.
 
Even though I genuinely believe that as the bride of Christ we will not see the wrath of God come upon this world, I do believe, especially in light of this decision, that we will see persecution.
 
From this moment on we will never be as free as we once were in our faith. We will be systemically harassed. I believe that there will be a brief pause now, a moment of calm while people and forces take stock of what has happened and what it means.
 
Then will come the outright persecution. You are in the cross hairs. You have been warned.
 
Attend to your God and His Son and be about His work. The night is coming when it is not possible to work. In fact, I think that dusk has already begun to settle on this fallen world.

The Nazarene and the prophet ~ Glenn Fairman

Posted with permission:

The Nazarene and the Prophet

It should not seem surprising that as the curtain begins to close on the History of Men, that two great universal systems of apprehending the Divine have commanded center stage: Christianity and Islam. Although both posit their ends in the worship of the One God, when one scratches beneath the surface, the stark differences become manifest. One need only look to the personalities that are held out as templates for their acolytes to emulate. Jesus, the humble and meek, (yet possessing the power to create and dissolve the material universe), suffers unto death the penalties that man has been so deserving of -- sacrificially performing that magnanimous act of love that reverberates across the Universe. He calls us to forsake our carnal lives -- not as an empty act of nihilism, but as a means to shed our hatreds, pettiness, and the worm of resentment and pride that gnaws at our unregenerate cores. Jesus commands that we renounce every vestige of the world that would war with all things emergent from the light. In Christ, and in the fullness of his love, we are the transformed sons and daughters ransomed back from the folly of our desire to flee and disconnect -- reveling in that unruled passion to be the final arbiter of our own faltering trajectories.

And in the Prophet we have the antithesis of the Christ. Mohammad stands as the great archetype of every Muslim. He is the warrior, the sublimator -- the fanatic incarnate who draws the line: "submit, convert or perish." Islam reinforces human distinction, elevates human pride and normalizes the earthly and vicious. All is permitted in waging the grand jihad that will inexorably lead to the submission of the earth under the monolithic law of a terrible and distant god -- a deity whose cold hand and dark gaze inject an anxiety and terror into every believer. Mohammad can murder. He can engage in rape and theft. He views women as chattel and children as his playthings. He can engage in treachery and genocide for the sake of his dark vision of the lord god. Christ paved the way for flesh to be made spirit, for rebels to become children and heirs to His kingdom. Mohammad promises a voluptuary paradise of sensual delight -- the Celestial Whorehouse of God for unquestioning slaves who enact his bidding -- men who unquestioningly shed human blood in the fearful name of their exacting and vengeful lord. 


So many centuries hence, we can discern in our matured civilizations the ripened fruit of these two men. Indeed, it seems as if the West, which is wildly intent upon shedding the Nazarene's ethos, is centrifugally spinning into spiritual darkness, while Mohammad's maddened distortion of orthodox fire and wreckage is ascending long past the point of no return. From the Christian ethos, the Logos of ordered architectonic genius has permeated our understanding of causality and rationality. Christianity has given us science, opened our eyes to the existence of transcendent truth, kindled our knowledge of man's worth in the eyes of God, and in the final reckoning, upended the wickedness affirming the lie that one man exists for the sake of another's arbitrary will. The aesthetic of the loving God has uplifted and imbued our poetry, philosophy, and politics with the sublime and ironclad foundations from which we have constructed our interpretation of the Good Life. Moreover, our enlightened positions as sons and daughters of the Most High have shown us that grace and mercy can be reconciled, at least for a time, upon the pillars of liberty, equality, and wisdom.
  But it is in the action of affixing its flinty resolve against the spirit of Jerusalem's heritage that Islam-Rising casts its opaque veil over the human heart, just as it unleashes that same savage vigor that lurks so cruelly within the unrestrained children of men. In the Fundamentalist Muslim's worldview, the notions of tolerance, democracy, and political equality are scarcely allowed the honor and authority that the West so foolishly takes for granted, except for that smothered and squalid egalitarianism that languishes at the bottom of a boot. And although slavery was outlawed in Saudi Arabia a generation ago, it exists now, through the blessing of Koranic legitimacy, in its myriad forms throughout the many prison windows of the Islamic world. In truth, we would be liars if we were to ignore Islam's ancient internal battleground that condemns its silent and subjugated women to the receiving end of its own political/theological mailed fist. 

The god of Mohammad remakes nothing, redeems nothing, and loves nothing. He demands obedience through the instrumentalities of blood and divine hatred. As a Capricious Wraith of Unmixed Terror, he cultivates fear in the subjects and slaves who blindly follow his lead through the unwavering Orthodoxy of Despair. But in Christ, we see a revelation of God altogether "other" than we should suspect: Deny your hatreds, place yourself last, shed your pride, love your enemy, and pray for those who wish you evil. And if you must perish for your beliefs, let it be with clean hands and the blessing of Christ's love on your lips. For we are not commanded in service to a devil who demands that the flesh of innocent women and children should be sacrificed by means of a bomb vest to quell a tyrant's ancient bloodlust. 

It has been said that ye shall know the tree by its fruits. Let us take this wisdom to heart as we labor to plumb the mystery contained within the Character of God.

History Repeats Itself . . .

L'HISTOIRE SE REPETE
Will Obama's bad deal with Iran lead us to a third World War, in same way as Chamberlain's bad deal with Hitler led to the second World War?


There is a parallel to be drawn with what has happened in the past and what has unfolded during these last decennia relating both to the political landscape in the United States and to the political situation we find ourselves in here in Israel.

In earlier United States' history both parties - Democrats and Republicans - were basically pro-American and patriotic.  Both had their country's wellbeing as their overall concern, the Democrats more from a left-liberal standpoint, the Republicans from a more conservative one.

This has now changed as the Democratic Party has moved so far to the left that it is barely - at least as a party - still patriotic or pro its own nation.

In many ways this is now also true of the political situation in Israel between the leading parties: Labor and Likud. Labor - under the leadership today of Isaac Herzog and Tzipi Livni - must have realized this when it attempted tamper with its departure from the former (at least patriotic) Labor leadership by deceitfully calling its politically conceived union "the Zionist Camp." For they have to know, even among their own members, that pro-Israel patriotism or old fashioned Labor Zionism of the type of Golda Meir or even Yitzhak Rabin has largely disappeared.

It is no secret that Rabin himself never believed in or pursued a path towards an independent Palestinian state, notwithstanding the dishonest claims and misquotes attributed to him after his death in support of their post-Zionist positions in his party by members and ideologues who were further left than he. The misrepresented prime minister called even the Oslo Accord (which was not for a Palestinian state but only for Palestinian Arab self-rule) "the bastard child I was forced to accept."

As in America, so in Israel; these socialist labor oriented parties - the Democrats and the Labor Socialists - have moved so far to the left as to endanger the overall security and wellbeing of the nations they helped establish!

While this has for some time and increasingly been the nationally destructive trend with America's democrats, it appears that only now a few more conservative leaning members of that party are waking up to it.  Under the leadership of President Barack Obama, his chief and ever-present advisor Valerie Jarrett, and other certainly leftist leaning associates, the Democratic Party has veered into becoming a universalist socialist 'do good party' to everybody, first and foremost to the downtrodden poor and underprivileged inside America.  Then, as a logical conclusion of this global leftist outlook - it has manifested a willingness to treat favourably even those nations that pose a threat to the US (eg. Iran, Cuba and others); an effort to be good, non-discriminatory towards Islamic states, as Obama clearly spelled out at the beginning of his first term in office during his speech in the University of Cairo in Egypt.

This has all recently been played out in front of the world in relation to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's firm commitment to providing safety for his people from the Islamic threat posed by Iran's pursuit of power - not only by way of the nuclear bomb it is developing, but also through Tehran's increasing influence via radicalized Islam over Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and others.

The uncompromising stand against Islamic-oriented enemies (not only of Israel but also of the wellbeing and safety of the US as these foes call Israel "only" the small Satan and the US the big Satan) stands diametrically opposed to the socialist global mentality or philosophy of today's White House.

It is therefore good, not just for Israel's security but also for America's, that Netanyahu has been invited to address both houses of Congress on the specific issue that threatens both nations!

What was to be expected is that the first and fiercest criticism of this invitation to address America's leadership came from the not so patriotic socialists in both Israel and the US.  And herein lies the parallel:

Just as British ideologists cut from this type of cloth stood behind Chamberlain's efforts to reach an agreement with Hitler in the face of the German threats in Munich, so does today's White House leadership desire to reach an equally futile agreement with the mullahs of Iran.

Reacting to the way many of the more readily deceived Brits embraced and applauded Chamberlain's agreement with Hitler - which the prime minister declared had secured "peace for our time" - but which was made with a man whose openly-stated goal (like that of Iran's Ayatollahs) was the final destruction of the Jewish people, the as yet un-empowered Winston Churchill told Parliament: "We had a choice between shame and war - we chose shame but we shall get war."

We know now, as the British people themselves were soon to learn, that the mistaken belief in a weak and false agreement on paper itself brought about the Second World War, with more than 50 million dead, six million of which were Jews. Had a European Jewish leader then been invited by Churchill to address Parliament to warn about the serious consequences of this mistaken trust in Hitler should he - as Israel's left together with the new post American leftists demand Netanyahu do - have declined to use such opportunity to save his own and Europe's people from a sure catastrophe?

What can possibly be wrong with the Speaker of the Congress, John Boehner, inviting a Jewish leader like Benjamin Netanyahu to help ensure that the necessary bipartisan majority will block a false and dangerous agreement with Iran which again may well cost the lives of millions of Americans?

Thanks be to God that at least there is a Churchill-like majority in both houses of Congress who are ready to listen to Netanyahu before - like Chamberlain - Obama further endangers his nation and Israel by appeasing the evil dictates of today's Hitler-like despots!
