Israeli Demise; A Free-world Nation Does Nothing

WWW.NEWSMAX.COM, September 30, 2012, reports, "Kissinger: No More Israel In 10 Years - New York Post columnist Cindy Adams asserts that former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger predicted the end of the state of Israel within 10 years. Adams does not specify when or where Kissinger made that statement. But she writes: "Middle East horror. Democratic Party dissing Jerusalem. DC's anti-Israel mentality. Obama, busy raising reelection funds, no time for beleaguered Netanyahu. The Oval Office attitude versus the Red Line. Iran's oath to destroy our only friend in that part of the world. "Reported to me, Henry Kissinger has stated - and I quote the statement word for word: 'In 10 years, there will be no more Israel.' "I repeat: 'In 10 years, there will be no more Israel.'"

I, your author, have listened with great interest to the speeches of two men delivered at the United Nations this past week of September 23, 2012. Only one spoke words that in my mind and heart reflect true leadership in and for the free world. That man was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

I then heard an interview with a retired United States four-star general (Sorry, I don't recall his name) but, I heard him none the less. The comment he made was that Islamic terrorists, extremists, are bent on eliminating all U.S. influence in the middle east. That is their goal. He also spoke of the "Cold War" and how Russia responded to certain inhalation if they continued to pursue a path of nuclear armament. That worked because they were atheistic communists. The terror of the middle east today is that the Jihadists glorify death. They care nothing about life as we do or as Israel does. Ours is a culture of life and liberty. A terrorist Jihadists culture honors destruction, death, and an apocalyptic radical religious end that will bring them ultimate victory.

As the U.S. continues its troop withdrawal from that region of the world, as we stand aloof from Israel, and as Iran continues it's boisterous threat to wipe Israel off the face of the map, her demise comes closer and closer to the possibility that she may not exist at some point in the future.

Do I know that for a fact? No I don't. Here is what I do know. God's word teaches clearly that those who love Israel and pray for her will prosper (Psm 122:6-9). Those who will bless Him who blesses Jerusalem (Psm 147:2,12-20) will be on the right side of history.

As I listened to the speeches of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Barack Obama this is what I heard. Obama never once referred to the "9/11" attack on Benghazi that left U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead as terrorism. He only mentioned that these were "killers and dissidents" who need to be "hunted down and brought to justice"; as if this were a street killing somewhere in the United States. He said the attacks were a spontaneous reaction to a 15 minute video on YouTube that insulted the Muslim world. And who has been arrested since the attacks? The creator of the video, under the guise of a "parole violation." So much for free speech.

Netanyahu on the other hand spoke of the threat of terrorism in the middle east and other parts of the world. He spoke clearly and he spoke succinctly of the threat in Iran who continues its march to acquire a nuclear weapon. He put forward a "red line" strategy to prohibit Iran from gaining nuclear weapons. Much of which our administration has ignored.

Any American citizen could listen to these two speeches and tell which one deals with reality and which one is full of hapless rhetoric. Obama really believes his Muslim roots will bring the whole world together as the, I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing, song says, "in perfect harmony." But this strategy has not worked, is not working, and will not work with those who only seek our elimination. This strategy will only weaken our nation. Our resolve must be to stand with Israel and to move with certainty against any and all aggressors who come against the free world. Any straight thinking American citizen can see that. But I don't think Mr. Obama believes that common citizens can think.

If you have any doubt that we may see an Israeli, and perhaps our own, demise by the willful acts of terrorists, I encourage you to read my September 28, 2012 post, While We Sit In Silence. Here is a quote from that post:

"Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts - the fanatics who threaten our way of life."

While We Sit In Silence!

Normally this is not a place where I share the writings of others. However, when something I believe is worth understanding comes across my desk it an imperative to share and not just an optional thought.

As with any prodigal, a parent must be alert to all the influences upon that life so that prayer and necessary action can be applied. Please excuse me this once. The Republic is at stake. 

Look back at the 1940s and learn from history. The following is quoted:

"Germany was not classified as a "melting pot" like America during WW2....very few Germans didn't think they were the master race...they got rid of the Jews and all that was left was the residue. History says...that we as a mighty nation will have our down-fall by being rotten from the inside out...etc then the vultures will move in, like they have now...

'[This is] a German's View on Islam - worth reading. This is by far the best explanation of the Muslim terrorist situation I have ever read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this [piece] is said to be Dr Emanuel Tanya, a well-known and well-respected psychiatrist.'

A German's View on Islam 

                       A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

                       'Very few people were true Nazis,' he said, 'but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.'

                       We are told again and again by 'experts' and 'talking heads' that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

                       The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honour-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

                       The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the 'silent majority,' is cowed and extraneous.

                       Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant.. China 's huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people..

                       The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

                       And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were 'peace loving'?

                       History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:

                       Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.

                       Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

                       Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

                       Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just ignores the threat without sharing it, is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and pass this on [share this blog] and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and pass it on - before it's too late.

                       Now Islamic prayers are said to be introduced into Toronto public Schools while the Lord's Prayer was removed (due to being so offensive?)

                       The Islamic way may be peaceful for the time being in our country until the fanatics move in.

                       And we are silent.

Respect The Sanctity Of...

Though I do not agree with the current U.S. administration's political and social values, I do highly respect the sanctity of their life and their right to speak their views. I have served in the military and would serve again to protect those rights.

I pray for the protection of our national leaders in this political season. I pray that they will express their views and be transparent in their campaigns. I pray that the people of this great nation will be drawn back to godly values and God's redeeming love (Psm 16, especially vv 4-6). Only then will we once again see a representative government that honors and respects God. The government, after all is nothing but a reflection of who we are as a people. 

This "hope and change" will not come, however, because of an election. It can only come by a change of heart in the people of this nation (within all parties). Only this kind of change can put our nation in line with the divine will and purposes of God. What say you?

Has God Sent A Famine Of His Word?

There is a dearth of the word of God in our time. How long shall we be satisfied with no word from God? Let godly men speak into your life. Would you take ten minutes here to let God speak a word to your heart? 

Behold the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD. - Amos 8:11

O, Lord GOD, would that Your people would hear from You again.

A Call To Anguish

This seven minute excerpt from a David Wilkerson message should tear at your soul for the need of revival in the church and awakening in America. Will you pray for our prodigal nation? Will you pray for this beloved prodigal child who is blind to the her sin. Will you pray for the the stained heart of His beloved church?
