Sometimes Broken Records Play the Clearest Music
Yes, I’m going to invoke Zechariah again. Or Jeremiah. Or Ezekiel.
It’s fascinating to realize that since Scripture is all true, one day, Israel will find herself completely alone in the world. What a bizarre prediction. Yet God said over and over that it will happen.
It’s sort of like the question, “Where is America in Bible prophecy?” One conclusion must be that we are sidelined in some way in the very last days, losing our superpower status.
So it is we ask, What possible conditions will there be when Israel loses her few allies? We speculate.
This week, there were flare-ups between Israel and the Americans. For me, the number one thing to always keep in mind is that Hamas (read: Gazan Arabs) murdered Israeli children in ways that would have made the Assyrians blush. Raping and murdering an 8-year-old girl?
Personally, I’d give Israel a permanent green light to do whatever they wanted in Gaza. But the painful fact is, President Trump—and especially his VP, J.D. Vance—do not at all have a biblical view of Israel’s current situation. They just don’t. Get a load of these comments, per The Times of Israel:
“US President Donald Trump on Thursday declared, ‘Israel is not going to do anything with the West Bank,’ as officials from his administration leveled harsh criticism against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government after lawmakers advanced legislation to annex parts of the West Bank while Vice President JD Vance was visiting the country.
“’Don’t worry about the West Bank,’ Trump told reporters at the White House, in his first comments on the matter since the Knesset voted on the two bills Wednesday. ‘Don’t worry about it,’ he repeated. ‘Israel’s doing very well. They’re not going to do anything with it.’”
For his part, Vance left in a bit of a huff this week, having spent a couple days in Israel. He felt that the Knesset vote was “stupid” and he was personally offended by it. I did not at all hear him say he was offended by Gazans murdering Israeli men, women, and children.
Vance is Catholic. How devout I have no idea. Trump appears not to have personal faith. They don’t have a view that sees Israel as a key cog in History. They do not appreciate the specialness of the Jewish people, especially Future Israel.
Back during the campaign, key Trump allies began speaking almost in a biblical way. “West Bank” (an Arab term used to erase Jewish history…”Judea-Samaria”) was referred to in a biblical sense. It was the first time in my life that I had heard major political figures speak that way.
Was it only to gain votes?
Looks that way.
Trump has also bragged that he basically tells Bibi what to do. He says things like he will decide this and that.
American presidents making decisions for Israel has been a disaster the last 60 years.
Now come reports that American drones are monitoring Gaza. Maybe some U.S. troops on the ground. What is this?
So again. We read the Prophets, specifically those passages that relate to the very end of time. What in the world would account for a tiny nation in the Middle East not only out of friends, but attacked by an international coalition army representing every nation on Earth?
Well, what we are seeing now is exactly how that could/will happen. Israel’s greatest friend and ally of all time, the great United States…turns on the Jewish state? And with a “friendly” President? LBJ, Carter, Bush I, Clinton, Obama, Biden…all devils when it came to Israel. They will answer one day to the Judge for how they treated Israel. They endangered Jews.
But we are living in a moment when the American president is a friend. His grandchildren are Jewish. He has had great friends in the Jewish community for 50 years. He moved the embassy to Jerusalem. Recognized Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights. And many more good things. The strike on Iran was iconic.
And yet he squeezes Israel when she needs a free hand. His fresh-faced VP is offended.
(I guarantee you J.D. Vance would not be a friend to Israel. His friends like Tucker Carlson would make sure of that.)
We are not there yet. More from The Times:
“Another US official warned Thursday that Trump will ‘f**k’ Netanyahu if the Israeli leader jeopardizes the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, according to a Channel 12 report.
“’Netanyahu is walking a fine line with President Trump. If he keeps going, he’ll f**k up the Gaza deal. And if he f**ks up the deal, Donald Trump will f**k him,’ the official reportedly told the outlet’s correspondent Barak Ravid.
“’In English, it sounds even cruder,’ news anchor Yonit Levi noted at the end of Ravid’s report.”
This is Nixonian language from the current administration.
“Netanyahu updated Vance about the Knesset vote during the vice president’s visit, assuring him that it was merely a ‘preliminary vote’ and would ‘go nowhere,’ the public broadcaster Kan reported.
“’This cannot happen while I am visiting here,’ Vance was said to have retorted. American officials reportedly warned Netanyahu that the vote could provoke a backlash and destabilize ongoing negotiations over the ceasefire.
“Leaving Israel on Thursday afternoon, Vance said at the airport that he was told the initial passage of the bill was a ‘political stunt’ and ‘purely symbolic,’ but that, if so, it was a ‘very stupid political stunt, and I personally take some insult to it.’”
Such temerity from the young upstart standing in the shadow of the man that has fought for Zion all his life.
Israel will take her land, all of it, at the appointed time. No one can stop them. The Lord of History has decreed it.
All this is why I continue to say that the current conflict is going to become the trigger to Armageddon.
