Israel is Israel's Only Hope Vs. an Iranian Nuke Program



Please note that I am looking at this from a purely strategic point of view.  Most accurately, from a spiritual point of view, Jesus is the only hope for Israel.  And Jesus, Israel's Deliverer, will do just that at His Second Coming.  In the meantime, the spiritual warfare behind the scenes manifests itself in the following ways in the physical realm.  Let's remember to obey the Scripture:  "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:  May they prosper who love you" Psalm 122:6 (NASB).

If true, this could be considered a major act of betrayal to Israel:

Recent U.S. policy in the Middle East has so far produced two results:  1) more animosity to the U.S. and 2) more trouble for its "chief" ally, Israel

Saudi Arabia to get its own bombs if Iran goes nuclear:
Pakistan built nuclear weapons for Saudi Arabia: report

My Note: ultimately, they have very divergent goals for the Middle East with Israel desiring to live in peace with its neighbors with borders that it considers vital to its security and the Saudis being more willing to see developments on the ground that result in a Sunni domination of the region and hurt Israel in the long run.


And Europe is no friend to Israel:
EU survey: Every fifth Jew victim to anti-Semitism

My note: this article also shows an equally shocking number of Jews feeling that the country in which they reside is not safe and considering emigrating as a result.

Update: Latest school shooting in Colorado   'His intent was evil': Colorado high school gunman intended to shoot numerous people, sheriff says By Daniella Silva, NBC News He shot Claire Esther Davis , 17, who just happened to be sitting nearby with a friend as he headed toward the library. The girl suffered severe head trauma and remains in critical condition at Littleton Adventist Hospital.   "Our beautiful daughter Claire Davis has severe head trauma as a result of a gunshot. She needs your continued prayers," the family statement read.  Note:  The lone gunman killed himself after shooting Claire though clearly armed to do much more.  Thanks to the actions of an officer, the results were far less than the carnage he apparently wished to unleash.  Please join me in praying for Claire and all those impacted by this act of violence. image location Join me in praying for the families of Newtown who will experience their second Christmas  season w

Rob Bell's Love Wins: Chapter Four: Does God Get What He Wants?

Before I start, I want to make clear something from an earlier blogpost. I wrote of future events from a premillennial, dispensational perspective. By no means am I implying that is the only orthodox position. I will leave it to others who comment to give other orthodox perspectives, if they wish. My issue with Bell is not orthodoxy but what I view as error and obviously many godly, conservative Christian scholars agree with that assessment. Our differences over orthodox doctrine are within the family. We believe that Bell’s is outside of orthodoxy. The title of chapter four reveals the depth of Rob Bell’s misunderstanding.
