"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the Heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of the Lord."(2 Peter 3:10-12)
Last week the hooligans, terrorists, dictators and mad men gathered at the infamous UN in New York. Our President also spoke about dividing Israel and in particular Jerusalem. By allowing these idiots to enter our country and speak against Israel we brought judgment upon our nation. While these evil people were here the states of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee endured floods that cost our citizens a billion dollars. Wild fires have now cost the state of California $300 million dollars and water in California is two-thirds below its normal level. America's bread, the central valley of California, basket is ravaged by drought. This area produces the bulk of our lettuce, cabbage, almonds, honey dews, water melons, broccoli, artichokes, etc. Today American Samoa and other parts of the Pacific and large parts of Indonesia were hit with 8.0 earthquake and a killer Tsunami.
America, wake up pray and repent! We are bringing devastation upon ourselves. If you think your country is polarized now I predict it is only going to get worse if President Obama insists upon dividing Israel and giving East Jerusalem and Samaria to the thugs of Hamas and Fatah.
Solzhenitsyn said all the evils that occurred to Russia: the brutal Czars, Bolshevism, Leninism, Stalinism, the evils of communism and 30 to 50 million dead Russians in WWII can all be blamed on one thing - Russia forgot about God.
In September 1942 the Nazis reached their military objective, the new border of their Germanic, Empire, Stalingrad on the Volga River. The Wehrmacht (War Machine) was literally on the eastern bank of the river. The Soviet army held on to isolated pockets and still managed to transport its soldiers across the Volga for the fight. Stalin had hundreds of thousands of grunts to throw into the meat grinder. He did not care how many men he lost he was going to hold Stalingrad at all costs. At the same time the number of troops in German units began to reach low, critical mass. The Germans had finally reached a point where they could not replace combat veterans with experienced troops. As the battle in Stalingrad raged at the same time the Nazis began mass killing the Jews, communists and other undesirables throughout the conquered portion of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The Einsatzgruppen, special killing troops, began their killing rampage. Suddenly the Germans, who were on the verge of total victory in the Soviet Union, were surrounded in a pincer move with Soviet armies closing the gap to the rear of Stalingrad. Do you think there is a link between mass killing the Jews and the Nazi defeat on the eastern front? Do you think God quit caring for his chosen people even though the Nazis were butchering them? Satan took Hitler and Nazis to the apex of world power and empire and God plunged Hitler and the Nazis into the abyss.
Ironically, the absolute horror of the Holocaust had a positive influence. After the Holocaust, Jews in Europe left for the homeland in Israel. A piece of the prophetic puzzle began to fall into place.
The incidents listed below are clear evidence of linkage between man’s actions and the Jewish people.
On 31 Oct 1991 President George Bush Sr. spoke in Madrid, Spain concerning “Land for Peace.” The Madrid Peace Process would have given the West Bank (Judea & Samaria) to the Arabs. On the same day “The Perfect Storm,” (later made into a movie starring George Clooney) struck Kenny Bunk Port, Maine. It was one of the worst recorded storms in the north Atlantic with waves of 120’ to 150’. This storm traveled 1000 miles. 30’ waves struck the President’s home in Kenny Bunk Port nearly destroying it. The president and his friends spent several frantic days salvaging furniture, throwing water-logged items out, salvaging mementos and, repairing the home.
On 23 Aug 1992 at 0600 hours Hurricane Andrew struck Florida. It was the greatest natural disaster to hit the U.S. up to that time, causing 30 to 40 billion dollars in damage. It made 180,000 people homeless in Florida and 25,000 homeless in Louisiana. On 23 Aug 1992 at 1000 hours the Madrid Peace Process moved to the U.S. and President Bush spoke again about the “Madrid Peace Process”.
During his life Yasser Arafat met on 14 occasions with U.S. officials On each of those occasions one of the following occurred: tornado, hurricane, floods, the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke, impeachment proceedings were brought against Clinton and the stock market went down.
Of course we all know about 9/11/01 but how many of us know that on 13 Sep 01 the U.S. was going to announce to the Saudi Arabians that the U.S. was going unilaterally adopt a two state policy and recognize a Palestinian state. Furthermore, on 23 Sep 01 the U.S. would make the announcement publicly at the U.N. General Assembly. 9/11 changed all that.
I believe there is a spiritual connection between President Bush’s comments on 24 June 2002 concerning a two-state solution in Israel and the U.S. receiving false intelligence concerning Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD). On October 7, 2002, Bush announced he had overwhelming evidence of such weapons. That intelligence drove America and its allies into a war. On June 24, 2002 President George W. Bush became the first American president to declare that he was ready to divide the land of Israel into a Jewish state and an Arab state. “The United States of America,” he said, “will support the creation of a Palestinian state.”
Between 16 and 30 August 2005, Ariel Sharon expelled 9,480 Jewish settlers from 21 settlements in Gaza and from four settlements in the West Bank. Once it became clear that the evictions were definitely going ahead a group of conservative Rabbis, led by Rabbi Yosef Dayan, placed an ancient curse on Sharon known as the Pulsa diNura, calling on the Angel of Death to intervene and kill him. Israel formally left Gaza on 11 September 2005 and closed the border fence at Kissufim. While Sharon’s decision to withdraw from Gaza sparked bitter protests from members of the Likud party and the settler movement, opinion polls showed that it was a popular move among most of the Israeli electorate.On 27 September 2005, Sharon narrowly defeated a leadership challenge by a 52-48 percent vote. The move was initiated by Sharon's main rival, Benjamin Netanyahu, who had left the cabinet to protest Sharon's withdrawal from Gaza. The measure was an attempt by Netanyahu to call an early primary in November 2005 to choose the party's leader.
Sharon was hospitalized on 18 December 2005, after suffering a minor stroke. I think Sharon’s incapacitation relates to Sharon giving God’s land, Gaza, to the Arabs. During his hospital stay, doctors discovered a heart ailment requiring surgery and ordered bed rest pending a cardiac catheterization scheduled for 5 January 2006. Sharon did not heed his doctor’s warnings and returned immediately to work. He suffered a hemorrhagic stroke on 4 January, the day before his scheduled surgery. After two surgeries lasting 7 and 14 hours, doctors stopped the bleeding in Sharon's brain, but were unable to prevent him from entering into a coma.
Ehud Olmert became acting Prime Minister the night of Sharon's second stroke. Knesset elections followed in March, with Olmert and Sharon's Kadima party winning a plurality. The next month, the Israeli Cabinet declared Sharon permanently incapacitated and Olmert officially became interim Prime Minister in office on 14 April 2006.
Sharon has undergone a series of subsequent surgeries related to his comatose state. He has remained in a long-term care facility since 6 November 2006. Sharon is in a persistent vegetative state with almost no chance of recovery.
In 2005 The Palestinians voted Mahmoud Abbas into office as the head of the Palestinian Authority. On 11/11/2005 President Bush announced he was inviting Abbas to the White House. At the same time California was rocked the worst storm in 120 years of recorded weather.
On Monday, 16 July 2007 President Bush gave a speech concerning the “The Final Status” of Jerusalem. He said, “It is time for the Israeli’s to forget about the West Bank, and to look towards the Negev (desert) and to look towards the Golan Heights but to forget about the West Bank because it is going to become a Palestinian State. Bush also mentioned giving East Jerusalem to the Palestinians. On 20 July 07 the sub-prime crisis began and we have been in an economic morass since.
In June 2008 Condoleezza Rice angrily met with Israelis concerning the Israelis building new homes in East Jerusalem. Rice was angry because the building of new homes would disrupt the “Final Status” negotiations for Jerusalem. The U.S. wants to give East Jerusalem to the Arabs and East Jerusalem would be the new Arab capitol. At the same time violent floods rocked Iowa and closed Iowa State University. The floods destroyed Iowa’s crops. At the same time the price of oil began rising in the U.S. while the U.S. dollar fell.
In August 2008 Condoleezza Rice was in Israel to discuss the “the Final Status” once again. At the same time tropical storm Faye struck Florida four times.
On Thursday 10 Sep 08 it leaked out that the Bush administration was attempting to secretly negotiate “The Final Status” of Jerusalem. The U.S. State Department attempted to deny discussions about Jerusalem and claimed that such negotiations are held in secret. On 11 Sep 08 Hurricane Ike struck Galveston Texas and other parts of Texas and Louisiana. On 13 Sep 08 Hurricane Ike hit Ohio and several other states. Ike caused $500 million in damage in Ohio alone. On Sunday, the 13th Lehman Brothers failed with approximately 639 billion dollars lost. On Monday the stock market lost over 300 points.
In November 2008 it was reported that the President of Iran, Ahmadinejad, was ill. The nature of his illness has been kept secret. Do not be surprised if this man is brought down or becomes sick because of his hatred for the Jewish People.
In February 2009 Obama guaranteed Israel’s withdrawal from the West Bank. The Palestinian Authority (PA) said it had received a guarantee from President Obama's administration that understandings reached with Israel during President Bush’s term in office will be utilized as starting points for current and future talks with the Jewish state. This move limits the incoming Israeli prime minister ability to negotiate, since the PA can cite points of agreement made during previous talks between Bush and Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. The PA officials said they were enthusiastic about the new tone of the White House and about recent meetings with Obama's Mideast envoy, George Mitchell. They said they believe that under Obama the Palestinians can extract from Israel concessions reaching "much further" than during talks held under the previous administration. A senior PA said, “Regarding all understandings achieved between the parties, the Obama administration told us they will give guarantees to carry them out and the number of settlers to be removed from the West Bank will be much more than 60,000." The PA official was referring to previous negotiations in which Israel expressed a willingness to withdraw from up to 94 percent of the West Bank and move about 60,000 settlers into central settlement blocks closer to Jerusalem. Obama wants Israel to withdraw from nearly the entire West Bank. Keep in mind the Lord clearly states, those who divide Jerusalem he will divide and also On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem. Zechariah 12:1-9
In February 2009 Tzipi Livni, who ran for the position of prime minister in Israel, said Israel must give up considerable territory in exchange for peace with the Palestinians. She told a convention of American Jewish leaders, "we need to give up half of the Land of Israel," using a term that refers to biblical borders that include today's Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, repeating her well-known view that pulling out of Palestinian areas would be for the good of Israel, in order to maintain it as a Jewish state.
I think if Livni forces other Israeli politicians to do this she will bring disaster upon herself. I reiterate, the Lord clearly states that he will divide those who divide Jerusalem and he will destroy those who destroy Jerusalem. Livni, Barack Obama and the dictators of the world would be wise to heed the word of God.
In March 2009 Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, said the U.S. will "vigorously" pursue the creation of a Palestinian state. Hillary said a peace agreement that includes a Palestinian state "seems inescapable and the U.S. will be vigorously engaged in the pursuit of a two-state solution every step of the way." Netanyahu's criticism in the past of peace talks with the Palestinians and the possibility of Palestinian independence has raised concerns that his new government could clash with the U.S.
God gave the land of Israel as an everlasting inheritance to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and it is foolhardy for any nation or leader to attempt to overturn God’s express will, even if it is the strongest nation in the world. I submit that leaders in America, Europe in Israel are secular and do not read the Bible.
It is true that some of Israel’s politicians are themselves ready to divide Israel. Some Israeli leaders see no other way to keep Israel as a democratic and a Jewish state. If Israel were to officially annex the West Bank as part of Israel, then, as a democracy she would have to give all the Arab Muslims citizenship, and Israel would instantly cease to be a Jewish state. It is a quandary that absolutely no one can solve except the God of Israel.
Nevertheless, the Bible says: I will judge them [the nations] for harming my people, for scattering my inheritance among the nations, and for dividing up my land.
THE NATIONS JUDGED
1 "In those days and at that time,
when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will gather all nations
and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. [a]
There I will enter into judgment against them
concerning my inheritance, my people Israel,
for they scattered my people among the nations
and divided up my land.
3 They cast lots for my people
and traded boys for prostitutes;
they sold girls for wine
that they might drink.
4 "Now what have you against me, O Tyre and Sidon and all you regions of Philistia? Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done.
5 For you took my silver and my gold and carried off my finest treasures to your temples.
6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, that you might send them far from their homeland.
7 "See, I am going to rouse them out of the places to which you sold them, and I will return on your own heads what you have done.
8 I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far away." The LORD has spoken.
9 Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare for war!
Rouse the warriors!
Let all the fighting men draw near and attack.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords
and your pruning hooks into spears.
Let the weakling say,
"I am strong!"
11 Come quickly, all you nations from every side,
and assemble there.
Bring down your warriors, O LORD!
12 "Let the nations be roused;
let them advance into the Valley of Jehoshaphat,
for there I will sit
to judge all the nations on every side.
13 Swing the sickle,
for the harvest is ripe.
Come, trample the grapes,
for the winepress is full
and the vats overflow—
so great is their wickedness!"
14 Multitudes, multitudes
in the valley of decision!
For the day of the LORD is near
in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will be darkened,
and the stars no longer shine.
16 The LORD will roar from Zion
and thunder from Jerusalem;
the earth and the sky will tremble.
But the LORD will be a refuge for his people,
a stronghold for the people of Israel. Joel 3:1-16
Footnotes:
a. Joel 3:2 Jehoshaphat means the LORD judges ; also in verse 12.
Today, Islamic totalitarian powers covet world domination. No amount of talking or negotiations will clear away the dangers of Islamic terror and totalitarianism. The U.S. is now seriously financially weakened. This is not just a Bush failure. I believe this is judgment on our nation, which though blessed like no other since the history of man began, has turned its back on its Maker.
As Amotz Asa-el, an Israeli journalist, concluded: “Tragedies call into question the role of chance, error, fate and destiny in human life, as they pit man against forces hopelessly stronger than him. The forces George Bush met, and stood no chance of confronting, were historic and biblical. Bush faced crusading, suicidal zealots, billowing battlefields, collapsing skyscrapers, rising new powers, gushing stocks markets and soaring ocean waves.”
Many people will read the facts and scripture verses above and attribute man-made causes and reasons for the events that occurred. However, I think linkage of current events, weather and other phenomena to Israel and its people and our not heeding the Lord is quite clear. The verses in Bible are blunt and detailed and yet man insists upon putting himself at the center of the universe, adopting man-made treaties, resolutions, imposing immoral, and sinful laws. Treaties and agreements are worthless pieces of paper, when one party to the treaty is permitted to lie to an infidel, as the Qu’ran instructs Muslims to do. If Americans and Europeans insist upon the Jews giving up their land and dividing God’s Covenant Land of Israel then a great disaster will befall America and Europe. God has clearly spoken through his Bible that any nation that touches Jerusalem will be destroyed and that any nation that attempts to divide Jerusalem will be divided itself.
God has a prophetic plan for Israel’s people to be saved by Jesus Christ. No human being will be allowed to interfere with God’s plan.
It is absolutely critical that we pray for America and the peace of Jerusalem. We must also pray that the Lord gives Barack Obama wisdom and that he will be a righteous leader. However, if Barack Obama divides Israel and Jerusalem I believe we will continue to feel the wrath of God and these natural disasters, political division and hatred in America and around the world will increase.
