Dear friends:
 
My message titled “Where is America in Ezekiel 38” on March 22 discussed the attack on Israel in Ezekiel chapter 38 and the fact that, strangely, Israel’s most powerful ally, the United States, is not mentioned or alluded to as coming to her defense.  See http://www.injesus.com/index.php?module=message&task=view&MID=LB007ECJ&GroupID=2A004N9G .
 
I suggested four possible reasons why America is not mentioned.  Below is one more, plus added information on the previous number 4.
 
1.  Another possible reason.  In response to my message, pastor friend F.M. Riley of Missouri added a fifth possible reason, and the possibility he cites is a valid one.  He said it could be from a crippling natural disaster unlike any the nation has ever before experienced, but is known to be currently threatened.
 
Pastor Riley is a knowledgeable prophecy scholar and follows these things more than anyone I know.  He said (an excerpt):

“Jim…. The New Madrid fault line is 65 years past due for a major earthquake.  When the last major quake occurred on this fault line in 1811-12, the area was sparsely populated and there were few casualties.  If such a major quake occurred today, there are ten million people living along or in close proximity to that fault line.  Millions would die, especially if the entire Mississippi River basin slipped beneath the sea….  Add to this the Hayward fault line in California which is overdue for a major quake and is showing every sign of breaking loose with a major quake in the near future.  The Hayward fault line feeds right into the San Andreas fault and also into Yellowstone National Park.  If the Hayward goes, it is very likely that half or more of California will drop off into the Pacific, and that the Yellowstone caldera will break open and explode into violent eruption.  All of this could all happen in just one 24 hour period, and when it is over there will no longer be a nation here.”

(Note: To me, the Yellowstone possibility is especially ominous.  If that blows it has been estimated that everyone within a radius of  hundreds of miles -- millions -- will die.  Personally, I see this as possibility after the rapture.)
 
2.  An anti-Israel President?  The number 4 possibility in my previous e-mail was that a future U.S. President would be dedicated to disarming the United States and/or be anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian, ignoring past commitments to Israel. God forbid, as it is bad enough now. 

Barack Obama: Since many are saying that Barack Obama will win the Democratic nomination and will probably be the next President, below is more relevant information that has come to me.

a.  Obama anti-Israel?  According to www.israelnationalnews.com, an Arab activist, Ali Abunimah, claims to know Obama well and that he has met him on numerous occasions at pro-Palestinian events in Chicago.  He says that Obama is hiding an anti-Israel stance.

b.  An Obama connection to terrorists is being discussed by various sources. There is a far-reaching scandal brewing for presidential hopeful Obama, says a radio talk show host based in Oregon. Syndicated talk host Laurie Roth's revelations make the news story about Obama's relationship with a racist, anti-American pastor look like child's play.  A top official at the Pentagon during former-President George H. W. Bush's Administration and a former CIA intelligence officer maintain that Barack Obama and former Weather Underground honcho William Ayers funneled money to Professor Rashid Khalidi, a known terrorist sympathizer.  Khalidi serves on the faculty of Columbia University in New York and is best known as the professor who invited Iranian President Ahmedinejad to visit Columbia University after he finished his speech at the United Nations. According to confidential sources, Khalidi has direct ties to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), a group on the US State Department's list of known terrorist groups.

Similar information about Obama and possible terrorism ties is summarized at http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/mar2008/mjm324-3.htm.

John Stephenson of NewsBusters, says: “Barack Obama has been running his campaign in the style of a revolutionary. Just how radical and liberal Obama is has been well hidden by the campaign. If you haven't heard about his friendship with the leaders of the radical group, the Weather Underground , you can thank the media. ( Video Here.) Just how radically left this man is can be seen in what company he keeps.”

Rick Moran asks the ultimate question: “Will the media expose Obama? Will they criticize Senator McCain if he tries to paint Obama as a radical? Will they dig deep into Obama's associations and associates to discover the truth?”

Hillary Clinton:

Hillary Clinton is not off the hook here.  It has just been revealed that Hillary Clinton’s top confidante is assistant editor of an Islamic journal.  Huma Abedin, the top confidante and closest aide for Hillary Clinton, is an assistant editor to an Islamic Journal called “Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs” http://www.imma.org.uk/editorialboard.htm.  See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1989906/posts.

This is unbelievable!

We have long been concerned about the pervasive Islamic infiltration of our nation and our government.  It now appears they have targeted Democratic Presidential candidates as their best hope to gain power and wield influence in an election the Democrats are expected to win.

The spiritual entity behind Islam. We know the identity of the spiritual entity behind Islam.  We also know that this spiritual identity hates Israel and has always tried to annihilate the Jews.  We also know he is clever and devious.  It should be no surprise that he is trying to exercise his influence in the next President of the United States.

But we also know that this spiritual entity is a defeated foe, and the God of Israel and our Lord Jesus Christ will have His own way to accomplish His good purposes.  Bless His name forever.

If any such Islamic influence is determined as affecting John McCain, I will immediately report it and it should be widely publicized, as I hope this will be.

Jim
