Hello All,
EAR -Thank you for your detailed reply. You have a very different perspective to mine. In fact, we are very far apart in our perspective of history. I will attempt this reply without sounding confrontational - because this is not helpful.
Yes - I firmly maintain that Israel is a police state. It's a mere shadow of what God intends. You say that I am denigrating the relationship between the USA and Israel because (and I quote from your post) "Without the protection of the USA over the last 75 years, the Arabs would have destroyed Israel a long time ago". The continued existence of Israel is down to Almighty God and has ZERO to do with the USA. Israel has provided the USA with an invaluable ally in the Middle East in order to manipulate the Arabs and control Middle Eastern oil. The USA 'protects' Israel on the surface. In reality - the USA manipulates Israel. If the USA was a proper protector, the Jewish people would be living in peace - not in constant fear. The Jewish people would have full access to the Temple Mount. If the USA was a proper protector, the Palestinian and Arab threat would have been nullified a long time ago. Let's not be naïve. The Biden administration are providing the so-called Palestinians with the means they need to exist. They are also determined to ensure that Israel enacts the two-state solution - dividing God's Holy Land.
You appear to have sympathy for the Ukrainian administration and that the Russian people (and I quote from your post) "will be deeply ashamed when they find out the truth". I am of the informed opinion that we will ALL be ashamed by the actions of our various governments when the truth is fully revealed. Be that as it may - you paint the Russians as the aggressors. Have you ever played the game of Risk, EAR? Russia was forced into aggression by the expansion of NATO. I am certainly not claiming that Putin and his gang are as pure as the driven snow. Far from it. Zelensky of Ukraine is an actor. A very, very bad actor. Between the Biden administration and the entire global criminal cabal, the world is entering perilous times. Evil men waxing worse and worse etc. Zelensky, Ukraine, the Bidens....the tales of disgusting corruption are well known. I am bewildered that you don't seem to know this.
To answer your last question as too why I count from 70AD to 2023 and not 30AD etc. 70AD is an historically validated year for the destruction of Jerusalem and the scattering of the Jewish people. Our LORD Jesus' crucifixion year differs between scholars and researchers. With some laying down great arguments for the years 30AD to 35AD. It's not a settled historical fact. Whereas 70AD is.
As for the evidence of the rise of the 4th Reich - it's all around us. One must be blind not to see it. Book banning, Jew hating, gender bending idiocy is everywhere. And a lot of it emanates from the USA and Europe.
Blessings to all.
