Someone Must be Wrong |

RaptureReady.comDecember 02, 2008 Excerpt from the article: The psychopaths who run Iran are so sure they have the final solution to the Jews, they can’t discern that history itself is dead-set against them. They should remember their ancestors, the Persians, who failed miserably in their own extermination plans. With every Israeli concession, her enemies stupidly lick their chops and anticipate victory. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, visiting Moscow this week to ask the Kremlin to please help with Iran (think JFK asking Russia pretty please to remove the missiles from Cuba), pledged to turn over a patch of ground — a Russian compound — in Jerusalem, to Moscow. It is symbolic, of course, because Russia has no military presence there. Yet the power of symbol pushes Israel further down the path of seeming vulnerability. I say “seeming” because it is much like a lion lying down and feigning injury while a bunny rabbit plays all around him. The Bible tells us that as Israel becomes more vulnerable in the last days, that is precisely the moment that God rises up to defend her. The ultimate fighting lion will arise and destroy His enemies. We are upset that Olmert is weak. We are upset that Iran is saber-rattling. We are upset that the international community desires to carve-up Israel. But it has to be this way! Three thousand years ago, David recorded God’s judgment on the people of Israel. Now we have a situation in which Israel is becoming more vulnerable, though in her own sovereign land. This week, Michael Freund wrote in the Jerusalem Post: “[Shimon] Peres and those who backed the Oslo Accords owe all Israelis a belated apology. On September 13, 1993, when Rabin shook hands with Arafat after signing the accord, I along with many other television viewers felt a sense of gloom. Not because we were any smarter or wiser, but simply because we knew, deep down, that you cannot compromise with evil, however easy and tempting it might appear to be.” Now it is time for the second half of the story. The half that ends with Israel’s permanent survival. Her enemies don’t see it coming. |
