On Apr. 21, America’s new Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, officially presented his credentials to Israel’s Pres. Isaac Herzog.
Herzog noted that:
- Huckabee is beginning his new job at a decisive moment in Israeli history.
He warned that:
- Iran continues to pursue its radical vision of regional dominance and destabilization – on its own and via its proxies – while pursuing nuclear arms and openly calling for the destruction of Israel.
Huckabee replied:
- I never had a conversation with him (with Trump about the Ambassador’s job. I got a call out of the clear blue).
- The president did not say, ‘Would you think about going? Have you ever considered? He simply called and said, ‘Mike, you’re going to be my ambassador to Israel.’
- You don’t say ‘no’ to him. And quite frankly, I felt it was not so much saying ‘yes’ to a president – it was certainly that – but it was ‘yes’ to a calling from God Himself to come and fulfill what I believe is not just a job but a mission.
Huckabee added:
- I share with you that concern that the Iranian regime – and all of its hostility that has been inflicted upon the world for 46 years – continues to threaten not just the peace of Israel but the peace of the United States.
- I constantly remind people that the Iranians have said, ‘Death to Israel,’ and chapter two is, ‘Death to America.’
- It has always been their desire that Israel would be the opening act, and then it would be America’s turn to face destruction.
- Or to put it another simple way, Israel is the appetizer, and the United States is the entrée.
- We care deeply, Mr. President, about the threats that face Israel, because those are also the threats that face our country.
Our Ambassador said it well: the opening act is ‘Death to Israel,’ the so-called ‘Little Satan,’ and chapter two is ‘Death to America,’ the ‘So-called Great Satan.’
Many nations have opened their doors to hordes of Muslims with high hopes of providing them with better living conditions, good jobs, peaceful lives, and more, but it has rarely turned out that way.
Many have remained peaceful for a few years, produced large families, been careful not to assimilate, then started to build mosques, run for elective office, etc.
Many have started holding protests on college campuses, calling for days of rage, started attacking Jews, committing violence, etc.
It is a pattern that can be checked out with France, Sweden, Belgium, Nigeria, the Netherlands, and others, or in the U.S. state of Minnesota, as far as that is concerned (AOC, the Squad, etc.), or with Christians in Plano, Texas.
It is important to understand that their main goal is not better living conditions or peaceful lives.
Their main goal is to establish Islam as the one-world religion and political power.
I agree with Huckabee, but will say it like this: In the radical Islamic world, chapter one is about the destruction of Israel, chapter two is about the destruction of the U.S., and chapter three is about the establishment of a global Islamic religious and political system.
Israel is the appetizer, the U.S. is the entrée (main course), and the world is the dessert.
(My opinion: The radical Islamic hatred of Israel is more than antisemitism. It is a deliberate attempt to dominate the entire world.)
(My opinion: Some Muslim nations are worse than others, but perhaps the worst of the worst is Iran. America needs to speak softly and carry a big stick.)
(Update: On Apr. 25, 2025, Paraguay officially declared that Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards are terrorist groups. U.S. spokesperson Tammy Bruce said, “Iran remains the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world and has financed and directed numerous terrorist attacks and activities globally, through its IRGC-Quds Force and proxies such as Hezbollah and Hamas.”)
Here are some recent stories that seem to indicate that the end of the age is near.
One, on Apr. 24, 2025, it was reported that three people have been indicted on charges of bomb-making and defacing a Jewish Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA.
One has served in the Air Force National Guard, fraudulently obtained top-secret clearance, and expressed the desire to die as an Islamic martyr (killed in the act of jihad).
According to the report, this is a growing pattern in the U.S.
Two, concerning Islamic terrorism: on Apr. 22, 2025, Islamic terrorist disguised as soldiers stopped vehicles, demanded ID cards, ordered occupants to recite Islam’s declaration of faith, and when they couldn’t, the terrorists brutally killed at least 27 Hindu tourists in Kashmir (a disputed area between India and Pakistan).
The massacre occurred less than one week after Pakistan’s Grand Mufti issued a fatwa declaring that all Muslim governments are religiously obligated to wage jihad (holy war) to reclaim all land that was once ruled by Islam.
That came almost one week after Pakistan’s Grand Mufti issued a fatwa calling for global Muslim governments to launch a military war against Israel.
(My comment: Wake up, world. Huckabee is right. Israel is the appetizer, the U.S. is the entrée (main course), and the world is the dessert.)
(Update: India and Pakistan are both nuclear powers, and for two days, there have been military reports of cross-border firing. This is a highly volatile situation.)
Three, concerning perilous times at the end of the age: on Apr. 24, 2025, Israel’s Channel 12 TV reported that Israeli officials are concerned that the US Administration is hastily rushing toward a bad deal that will not prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb.
Israeli sources said U.S. declarations of real progress are deeply disturbing.
Four, concerning Iran: on Apr. 26, 2025, Time Magazine reported that Trump said if we don’t make a deal (with Iran), I’ll be leading the pack (in an attack on Iran).
(Update: On Apr. 27, 2025, Netanyahu said Israel is prepared to act alone if Iran refuses to abandon its quest for nuclear weapons.)
Five, concerning a normalization agreement (that MAY be the agreement that is strengthened by the Antichrist after the Rapture): on Apr. 25, 2025, Fox News reported that Pres. Trump is scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates next month, and he expressed optimism that he could broker a normalization deal between Israel and the Saudi Kingdom.
Trump said,
- I think Saudi Arabia will go into the Abraham Accords.
- I think it will be full very quickly.
Six, concerning the Two-State Solution and peace in Israel: on Apr. 27, 2025, Israeli Prime Min. Netanyahu told a group of diplomats and policymakers:
- The idea that creating a Palestinian state would bring peace is folly, nothing more than folly.
- We just tried a Palestinian state in Gaza.
- You saw what that brought, right?
His understanding is Biblical, whether he realizes it or not.
The Two-State Solution, normalization agreements, rebuilding the Temple, offering animal sacrifices, Israel’s great army, and Israel’s great weapons won’t bring peace.
Israel will not have peace until the Jews accept Jesus as their Messiah.
Seven, concerning wars and rumors of wars and the destruction of Damascus in one night: following Islamic terrorist attacks on Druze communities in Syria, on Apr. 30, 2025, Israel launched an airstrike on Islamic terrorists near Damascus.
Israel warned the Syrian government that Israel will strike more targets in Syria if Syria does not stop the Islamic terrorist attacks on the Druze.
Eight, concerning an increase in knowledge at the end of the age: on Apr. 22, 2025, Technocracy News & Trends posted an article by Noor Al-Sibai that quoted Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, who said:
- Once AI begins to self-improve and learn how to plan, it essentially won’t “have to listen to us anymore.”
- At that stage, AI will not only be smarter than humans but will also reach what is known as artificial superintelligence (ASI), which occurs when AI becomes smarter than all humans put together.
Here is a link to the entire article:
Nine, concerning globalism: on Apr. 29, 2025, Paul Dragu (The New American) wrote this about Canada’s new Prime Min. Mark Carney:
- Carney is an elite globalist He has an economics degree from Harvard, he is a former central banker (he served as the governor of the Bank of Canada and the governor of the Bank of England), he is a former World Economic Forum Young Global Leader along with his predecessor Justin Trudeau, and he has ties to the Bilderberg group, Chatham House, and the United Nations, for which he was appointed as special envoy for climate action and finance.
In my words, he is a globalist to the core, and Canada needs our prayers.
Ten, concerning wickedness and the attempt to destroy Israel: as I write this, several major fires are raging in Israel, and it appears that they have been deliberately set (perhaps by Islamic terrorists, but no official finding as of yet).
Several people have been hurt, at least five communities have been fully evacuated, and two major highways have been closed in both directions.
Israel has requested international help, and it is flowing in.
(My comment: No weapon formed against Israel will prevail.)
FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).
Finally, are you Rapture Ready?
If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
