The motives behind Glenn Beck’s recent trip to Israel now make more sense with his announcement Monday morning that he will be holding a major rally in Israel this summer.
“I believe I’ve been asked to stand — in Jerusalem,” Beck told his audience recounting a list of times in history when people and nations failed to stand with the Jewish people. Beck explained, as he has often in the last year, how the life and thinking of the German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer has influenced him: “He asked people to stand for the Jewish people.” He told of Bonhoeffer’s call for pastors to stand with him. Only six did.
Beck detailed current challenges facing the nation — “Things in Israel are going to get bad…it’s only a matter of time.”
“They are going to attack the center of our faith, our common faith, and that is Jerusalem. And it won’t be with bullets or bombs. It will be with a two-state solution that cuts off Jerusalem, the old city, to the rest of the world.”
“It is time to return inside the walls that surround Jerusalem and stand with people of all faiths all around the world.”
The event will unfold under the designation “Restoring Courage,” with a clear intention that it serve as a step forward from last summer’s “Restoring Honor” rally held on 8/28 in Washington, D.C.
Beck explained that final dates and details are still coming together. He expects that there will be a full week of activities in Israel. There will also be ways for people to participate from here in the United States.
As full details become available they will be posted on Beck’s e-mail newsletter.
Beck explained that a trip like this will be “really expensive” for anyone wanting to participate. He said his team has been working on putting together packages that will make the trip as affordable as possible for as many as possible.
“I don’t know how many people will come,” he said, “But if we can gather seven then we’ll have one more than Dietrich Bonhoeffer did.”
Ummm... Christian Organizations? KOsher???
Into Replacement Theology, are we?? Sniff.. sniff..
Sounds interesting but dangerous. These are crazy times.
These are Zany times. America is head for collapse. The GOP is eating their own. A-holes abound. Going to make it difficult to know who to stand with when the country collapses and problems start.
“I just have a problem with a guy who was a morning zoo radio guy 5 minutes ago being the arbiter now of what is just and right in the world.”
35 years ago Rush was working with the Royals baseball team. No degree either. Nothing one can do about any of it. The ones who are in education, for the most part, are into indoctrination. Very few like Dr. Michael Savage, David Barton, David Horowitz, Walter Williams, Col. Allen West and the people at Media research Center and Heritage Foundation. Educational system is a mess anyways.
You are incorrect. I can judge. I can judge everything against the Word of God. I can not judge a persons heart that only is God’s.
I rather think that I’m a fairly decent judge of character. I SAID there are good people and bad people. Bearing in mind that I am an Orthodox Jew, the antichrist has no particular function in my life...Lucifer was the planet venus, the morning star...daystar, son of morning was the king of persia, lucifer rofocale was the lightbearer that lit the torch at the roman games. Shaitan waa the adversary and a son of G-d sent to test man, not enslave him. But evil exists and it is human in nature, not supernatural. I sure know evil when it confronts me or I confront it.
Having said that, I do not make deals with evil... would you?
Dang!
That's what Joseph Smith claimed as well!
I'm not Italian; but DANG! that Mussolini fellow made them TRAINS run on time!
it’s a cult in the USA as well...
You must have skipped over the book of Job then, as well as other OT passages that shows that evil is also supernatural.
Having said that, I do not make deals with evil... would you?
Not knowingly, but then under Christian theology evil can (and does) disguise itself as something 'good'. Though I stand in agreement that Jerusalem should not be divided, you want to hitch yourself to a person who's foundational religious beliefs places Jerusalem in a secondary position to Missouri, or who's fundamental teachings claim that THEY are the true Jews in the world? Or that the One G-d is actually just one of a plethora of gods and goddesses who was once a man and progressed to becoming a god?
Choose carefully - not always the one who is the loudest for something is really for that same thing independent of another agenda.
So; you are SELECTIVE in your tolerance of other faiths; eh?
Well dang! saul the butcher claimed the same thing.
JERSUS said:
Matthew 19:17
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Nope. islam is a politic. I am not tolerant of genocidal politics.
And you have been doing a real good job of JUDGING folks in this thread.
who in the sam hill is jersus?
Really? Where?
Its quite possible that you are correct, however I’ve not seen Mormons willing to put themselves in harms way, especially like this-———
Are you aware of how many times, they have had genocide pulled on them? Not in other countries. Right here in America.
But thank you for noting at least, that whatever it was, it was a good job. I try.
