A storm of prophetic proportions
Could
the storm centered over Illinois during the weekend have been the
consequence of the current Administration's throwing Israel under the
bus and aligning itself with Iran by lifting sanctions against its
nuclear program? Now before you hit the "unsubscribe" button and run out
of the room screaming, just consider a couple of things.
The news media has not reported much about Secretary of State John
Kerry's unilaterally lifting sanctions against Iran in hopes of
negotiating at least a public win on Iran's nuclear program. But Iran,
playing its usual rope a dope cat and mouse game, didn't blink, and
Kerry not only lost, but also lost the credibility of the US in the
process. Then comes the storm.
I
have read Carolyn Glick of Frontpage Mag for many years. I must say
that I have not seen her so agitated as in her November 15 column. Here
are some excerpts: "As for Kerry's lies to the US's chief Middle Eastern
allies, it was the British and the French who informed the Israelis and
the Saudis that...the draft agreement exposed Washington's willingness
to effectively end economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for
Iran's agreement to cosmetic concessions that will not
slow down its nuclear weapons program." White House correspondent and
author of "Eye to Eye" Bill Koenig has documented consistent major
political, financial and natural catastrophes occurring within 48-72
hours of a US president coming against Israel. He has gone as far back
as President Nixon in these events.
There
are many people who believe degrees of replacement theology and say
that Israel of today is not the prophetic Israel of the Bible. They cite
theories that the Jewish people do not have the spirit of God in them
and that because the Jews rejected God, He no longer considers them His
people. These are misguided. Israel is Israel. Jerusalem is Jerusalem.
And the prophecies about the end times are true. It was God who made
covenant with his people. Genesis 17:7, "And I will establish My
covenant between Me and thee and thy seed
after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant to be a God
unto thee and to thy seed after thee." Genesis 12:3, "And I will bless
them that bless thee, and curse him that curses thee."
Covenants
made by God are not broken like those made by men. The Lord promised
that Israel will become a nation again and his people would return
there. The Lord also said he will put his spirit into his people.
Ezekiel 37:21-22, "Behold I will take the children of Israel from among
the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side,
and bring them into their own land, and I will make them one nation in
the land upon the mountains of Israel." For me, I do not see it as mere
coincidence that the occupant of the Oval Office's adopted home state of
Illinois got hammered with a storm after he tried to support one of the
major end time players against Israel--Iran. Just saying...
