The Beginning of the End?

I once had a hopelessly naive, that is to say stupid, friend who said that she can’t imagine Israel being destroyed. I think that is the ongoing idea that permeates the US governments attitude about Israel. The Bush administration doesn’t think Israel can actually be destroyed, God or Jesus or someone will save it. Therefore it is perfectly reasonable to demand that Israel puts itself in danger and constantly gives to it’s enemies the keys to Israel’s destructions. Cause somehow miraculously Israel will be saved. But the canary in the coal mine can’t hold out forever. Especially in a world that wants to deny we are even in a coal mine and insists the war on terror is a bumper sticker. Then there is Olmert who will undoubtedly go down in history as Israel’s worst Prime Minister. And I am becoming convinced will also be remembered at Israel’s last Prime Minister. I think Caroline Glick is bar none the best source of info on the Middle East. Read her as if your life depended on it, because someday I am sure it will. http://jewishworldreview.com/0707/glick070607.php3

Some people need to remember the Assyrian King, Sargon II! He was helped in his victories, (see 2 Kings 17:23-24) by the “Lord (who) put Israel away out of his sight.”

By the way, Sargon II was the guy who lost those ten tribes of Israel, permanently.

It will no be the Lord abandoning Israel that will destroy it this time. Isreal will go as a lamb to the slaughter; a sacrifice to Islamic appeasement. And once Israel is gone, we won’t be far behind.

Maybe He will abandon them for they insistence on practicing socialism? If the reason, the United States had better watch out!

UPDATE: It just occurred to me that maybe we are assigning “abandon” to the wrong one. I recall in my religion-classes that it is we who abandon Him!

This isn’t about the will of God it is about what is always about, what is was about 70 years ago. Human beings are weak in the face of true evil. They want to appease it or bargaim with it or be sensitive to it’s needs. Radical Islam wants to start with Israel and then finish off the rest of us. And a lot of people think if we let them have Israel they won’t come after us. Same idea that sent Chamberlain scurrying off to Munich. It will have the same results unless you know of a Churchill somewhere waiting the wings.

I agree with you about human beings as weaklings and as bargainers to appease evil. For us in this current age, 70 years ago is the most fresh example of man’s stupidity. A stupidity that Chamberlain selfishly offered strangers in order to protect his own countrymen. Let’s remember it is only the worst example of our so-called modern age.

Our first parents abandon the Lord and they had caused themselves to be ‘east of Eden (away from God).’ The history of man is about a constant denying of the will of God. Today, we witness within the Western ‘civilization’ people who believe in their ability do anything, everything alone since they believe we are alone. That is secularism.
That is the fallacy of Babel. We begin to think that we can build in our own name a different route to a socialistic heaven from the ancient route toward God’s. This denying, this weakness, these foolish bargains are products from east of Eden.

Waiting for another Churchill who may be in the wings is like waiting for the new Moses, a returning Jesus, or the next Reagan. We must not bargain away in belief it is just a temporary stay of evil until one’s expected leader/event happens. Liberty depends upon a concrete foundation: a global return to personal responsibility. Life isn’t a recreational pursuit.
