Sadly, anti-Semitism is alive and well in 2010. The recent incident with the Turkish ship bringing "humanitarian supplies" to the Palestinians has sparked a world-wide outcry of anti-Israeli sentiments. President Obama and this current administration has been very clear in its' support for the enemies of Israel, putting us on the wrong side of God. The bottom line is that Israel has every right to defend itself from those who brazenly call for the destruction of the state of Israel and all of the Jewish people, just as we have the right to defend ourselves from those who seek our destruction..
Like in everything, God's Word gives us the clear truth regarding Israel. Please, do yourself a favor right now and get your Bible and sit down and spend the next 10 minutes reading the anchor verses for today, Genesis 12:1-7, 13:14-16, 15:18; Deuteronomy 9:4-6; Joshua 1:1-11, 21:43-45. You could spend hours reading all the passages in God's Word that confirm that modern-day Israel is the land God promised to Abraham and gave to His children. You do not have to be a Bible scholar to quickly realize in just the few key passages I have given you today that the land of Israel is indeed the exact land God Himself promised to His children 4,000 years ago, and fulfilled that promise in 1385 B.C. when Joshua took possession of that land.
Having laid the Biblical case to support that the land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, now you can see why giving away even one inch of that land to anyone else is going against God Himself. No person, no nation, has the right to give away what God promised and gave to the Jewish people. Those who do make themselves an enemy of God! Over and over throughout the Bible and human history, nations have invaded this land, taken it over, only to be defeated in the end. The land of Israel is only 20,330 sq km, slightly smaller than the state of New Jersey. Out of the billions of square miles that exist on this earth, this is the only place on the planet God literally promised and gave to His children. For anyone to go in and try to give a piece of that land away is foolish.
That is why the current "peace plan" the United States has had such a large role in working out will never work and has actually put our nation on the opposite side of God . . . again! Let me be clear. The Gaza Strip belongs to ISRAEL! The West Bank belongs to ISRAEL! Jerusalem, all of it, belongs to ISRAEL! For this nation to be involved in any deals, even under the guise of "peace," that involves giving away the land God gave to the children of Israel is taking on God Himself. Not to mention that this land is being given away to the ENEMIES OF ISRAEL.
My friend, one of the problems many have with the Bible is that they can't understand why a God of love would command His children to go to war and "kill every man, woman, child, and living thing" as He did many times in the Old Testament. The reason was this. God in His omniscience knew that the enemies of Israel, those who came to possess their land, had no desire for peace but the complete destruction and annihilation of the Jewish people. The complete obliteration of the Jewish people was their ONLY goal, not peace. Sadly, there are some people who have no desire for peace, only death and destruction and you either destroy them or they destroy you. That is one of the sad realities of living in this fallen and evil world.
For those who oppose the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, they either don't understand or are completely blind to the fact that there are people on this planet whose only goal is the complete destruction of the United States and every person who lives here. That means you and your family too. I am thankful that this current administration understands this fact and that the peace-nuts we see on TV constantly don't have the power to impose their Pollyanna views of life on the defense policies of this nation or we would all be in grave danger. The sad reality is that there are real people alive this very moment whose very real goal is the complete destruction of the United States. We will either kill them or they will kill us. We are blessed that our forefathers understood the evil that exists in this world or we would not be here today, enjoying the wonderful freedoms and life we do.
Israel also clearly understands the reality that there are people who desire their death and destruction. They don't have the luxury of great oceans on either side as we do, and their enemies literally live all around them. That is what makes this current "peace plan" so silly. To actually take some of the small amount of land that belongs to Israel and literally give it to their enemies is absurd and ridiculous. It will only embolden and empower those who seek the destruction of Israel. Again, make no mistake about it. While we and others seek "peace," it takes TWO to make peace.
Despite the claims by the Palestinian leadership, their goal is NOT peace but the destruction of Israel. I have always been amused at why anyone thinks it is necessary to give the little strip of land God gave to Israel away to her enemies, when Israel is surrounded by Arab nations with VAST AMOUNTS of land who could easily assimilate their Arab brothers into their countries. Why do the Palestinians have to live on the land God gave to Israel when there is plenty of land in neighboring Arab countries they could live on? What is wrong with a "peace plan" that gave some of the land in surrounding Arab countries to the Palestinians?
I want to close with a powerful promise God made to Abraham 4,000 years ago in Genesis 12:3, "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." This one verse of Scripture is why what is happening in Israel right now is so critical to THIS NATION! In being part of a plan to give away the land God gave to Israel to anyone, especially her enemies who seek her destruction, puts us on the wrong side of God. We should be seeking the BLESSINGS of God, not His CURSES!
Even though most Jewish people have rejected Christ as their Savior, blinded to the reality that He is the Messiah they were promised in the Old Testament, they were, are, and always will be God's chosen people. The promise God gave Abraham in Genesis 12:3 is still in effect today. Our Christian faith is traced back through the children of Israel. The last events of this world will be played out in Israel. That is why we need to pray for and support the Jewish people and God's plan for the land of Israel. Our blessings in life come from following God, not being in opposition to God!
Quite a title. While the Jews have rarely had an easy time of it, there are ~7,000,000 20th century Jews that would disagree with your premise.
That is, they would if they were still with us.
Sorry, but that is Biblical truth.
End times level? You mean like the “end times level” prior to WWII which ironically, did not result in the “end times” nor with the return of Jesus Christ? =.=
Strikes me as more hyperbole than anything else.
I would like to believe that God knows that America is full of Israel-loving Christians who abhor Obama and his evil.
So, when the title says "End Times Level" it means just that - the "end times" as outlined in the Bible which will happen right before Christ's return.
You know -our generation.
But, it will very soon cease to be "hyperbole" and become a grim reality.
In fact, the bad stuff is already beginning to happen.
This has nothing to do with the creation if the state of Israel...it has all to do with the history of anti-semitism, which if one did take the time to study, one would determine exactly what those “end times” anti-semitism levels truly are/were....those levels have not been reached since their height prior to WWII....
Ping!
Maybe the end of Israel and its neighbors as we know them, but not the end of man kind, unless there is a planet sized asteroid headed our way. War there will be horrible costing many lives, but it won’t affect, say, the tribes in the dark amazon. There will be devastation and horror in the Mid East on all sides, but not the end of the world.
Perhaps because the levels are still rising. You cannot know what the "Height" is until it's been reached and starts to level out or decline. You are making a comparison based on incomplete knowledge of what we are in the process of.
"Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires. They will say, "What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created." [IPeter 3:4-5]
Of course you would use a biblical quote on scoffers to attempt to discredit, refute, or counter another’s counter mention or argument.....how quaint. Apparently, your understanding of the bible and “end times” is far more than those “end times” prophets who came before you....and were wrong. Ironic, huh? =.=
Obama has been extremely clear in his support of Israel’s enemies from DAY ONE. From DAY ONE Obama has been showing his muslim sympathies. I expect he is proud of the muslims in his beloved Pakistan who hanged a 7-year-old boy. Islam is pure evil. The democrats put this muslim in our White House, and it is up to the democrats to remove him from our White House.
like I said.....scoffers!
Darkness cannot hold up against the Light, no matter how much you condemn or criticize.
You make the boy that cried wolf, and those who came before you crying wolf and fire, look like amatuers. Have a good one and I pray that the Lord will truly continue to bless you.
Today, Russian schools teach the Bible, while American schools ruthlessly purge it. Russians are rediscovering their Christian heritage, while we are suppressing ours. In some ways, these societies are heading in opposite directions.
At this point, the Gospel is facing off against two remaining global enemies: America's state church of secular humanism, and Islam.

You mean the truth has pushed your blood pressure up?
I am not sure whether I should be thankful concerning the prayer though. Darkness has a tendency to loosely throw around the word “lord” to clothe itself in sheep’s clothing.
