The Prophetic Peace Plan--government vs God
There were three stories
over the weekend that had prophetic significance to
every American. One was the lighting of the Christmas
tree at the White House, another was the
election outcome in Egypt, and the other was a
public showing of disdain for Israel
by the Secretary of Defense. All were seemingly
unrelated, but they serve as examples of a deeper
problem in American foreign policy that has long
reaching prophetic consequences. Neither the man who
occupies the Oval Office nor his Administration
understand who God is and the truth about God's people
and God's ways. America, under this Administration, has
taken a harsh turn that places our nation as an active
prophetic tool of God's enemies.
In lighting the White
House Christmas Tree, the president said, "More than
2,000 years ago, a child was born to two faithful
travelers who could find rest only in a stable, among
the cattle and the sheep. But this was not just any
child. Christ's birth made the angels rejoice and
attracted shepherds and kings from afar. He was a
manifestation of God's love for us. And He grew up to
become a leader with a servant's heart who taught us a
message as simple as it is powerful: that we should love
God, and love our neighbor as ourselves." The president
has always missed the point about Jesus. He continues to
characterize Jesus as a great leader and a servant who
just taught us to treat one another well--it's the
Islamic Jesus.
The express purpose of
the Christ is found in Isaiah 9:6, "For unto us a child
is born, unto us a son is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The prince of Peace." Apart from Jesus Christ,
there can be no peace. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta
was reported by Reuters to have scolded Israel and told
Israel to get back to the "damn" negotiating table with
the Palestinians. This Administration misses the point
entirely. Giving land to the so-called Palestinians,
whose sole objective according to their organizations'
charters is to drive the Jews into the sea, will never
create peace.
There is a peace plan in
place. It is found in nearly every prophet's book in the
Bible, including Revelation. It's called The Day of the
Lord, where Jesus Christ returns to earth to set things
straight. And it is about land--the deed to the earth
that only Christ himself is worthy to open as found in
Revelation 5. No amount of land given to Palestinians
will bring peace. Only the Prince of Peace will bring
peace--not those posing as god via government. The third
story about how the leaders of the West were surprised
that radical Islamists were winning elections in Islamic
lands shows us the foolishness of America's leaders in
supporting Islamists--that they are tools of prophecy
ushering in the end times, but doing so by standing with
evil. Prepare for the consequences.
Have a Blessed and
Powerful Day!
