This is so very sad and I believe it marks a loss of freedom in America as the world moves closer to the 7 year Tribulation Period after the upcoming Rapture. Israel turns 75 years old on May 14th, and the hour now is very late in these End Times! From the parable of the fig tree in the Bible, we are the "generation" (from the establishment of the State of Israel in 19i48) to see all end time events fulfilled right up to the Second Coming of Christ after the 7 year Tribulation Period!
