[Seeing More Clearly Now]

If Kerry has any friends, they ought to remind him quickly of the kabbalistic curse that was placed on Ariel Sharon for his dastardly uprooting of the Jews of Gaza. Very little time passed after that rarely invoked curse before Prime Minister Sharon had a massive stroke and lived for many years in a vegetative state until his death a few weeks ago.

At this point, thanks to the reading and study I've been doing and all that comes from it, I now feel little more than pity for John Kerry and I must forgive him for his many trespasses.

I'm in enough trouble as it is, with my own sins to account for, and I'm grateful to not to be him or have to account for his.

Poor misguided, deceived soul. May he also answer the knock on the door before The Purification to come and follow the advice and Wisdom from the Teacher who knocks and speaks so softly.

Hmmmm, I don't like Kerry, and surely he's a snake in the grass to Israel. However I don't quite get portraying the Temples' destruction(s) in the past the fault of other people...

Both the destruction of the 1st (Solomon's) Temple by Nebuchadnezzer, and Herod's Temple, were ordained by God, as terrible judgments of the people of Israel, and prophesied long in advance. The destruction of Herod's Temple by the Roman general Titus in AD 70, was prophesied personally by Jesus Christ some 40 years before. (Mark 13:1,2; Luke 21:6)

500 years before, Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzer, who had previously destroyed the 1st Temple, according to the book of Daniel after being humbled by God by being driven literally insane for seven years, repented, and then gave one of the greatest testimonies glorifying God in the Bible:

But at the end of those days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven, and my sanity returned to me. Then I praised the Most High and honored and glorified Him who lives forever:

For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom is from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does what He wants with the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth. There is no one who can hold back His hand or say to Him, “What have You done?”

At that time my sanity returned to me, and my majesty and splendor returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and my nobles sought me out, I was reestablished over my kingdom, and even more greatness came to me. Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and glorify the King of heaven, because all His works are true and His ways are just. He is able to humble those who walk in pride. (Daniel 4:34-36)

My point is while the destruction of the Temple(s) in Jerusalem were surely great calamities for the Jewish people...God ordained it, and ultimately it was their own fault.....

Why would Israel worry about this misfit of humanity? Kerry is a well primed example of US culture/state. A eunuch at best, certainly nothing more, in any regard. He will follow the lead of God, no matter what lies are told.
