"Nations - Blessed and Cursed"

 
Have a gander at this link, Doves. It shows Afghanistan back in the days of yore. When her people were relatively carefree and fun loving. Obviously, Christianity still had a chance of flourishing - or at least had some breathing space. Life looks pretty good - if  tad 3rd worldy. Do a bit of research - any country, where islam took over and crushed the people, descended into war and poverty. Look at India - still very much 3rd worldy. China - has been to hell and back due to communism and a ban on Christianity. So called 1st world countries (USA, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia etc) were all based on Christian culture. Initially !! It's not hard to join the dots and recognise how Christian nations have been blessed. When the leaders espoused Christianity. Everything goes pear shaped when leaders start declaring "we are no longer a Christian nation".  Honestly - I've done a little research and it all matches. Christian leaders equal God's Blessings There's little to do when ones leaders turn against the God of Israel.. Israel is different. They have been blinded (in part) to allow the gentiles entry into the family of God. Israel, chosen nation and people have had to go through the mill, as an example to the rest of the nations. How the plop hits the fan when you don't obey and how the sun shines down when you DO obey. Israel lives under a very different dispensation to Christians - BUT they have always worshipped the One True God. The God of Israel.

There is not much time left for this world. It has gone too far.
