The Long Struggle

Israel sent another terrorist to hell this week.

Muhammad Odeh, the “new” head of the Hamas “military” wing,

Al-Sayyad Telegram channel, issued a death notice for this fiend:

“And the knight descended [from his horse].”

This is presumably some sort of relation to the fantastical “night ride” of Muhammad on his horse, from Mecca to Jerusalem, in the 8^th century.

Delusion breeds delusion. In the case of this new Muhammad, he is now in torment in the next life, ignorant of the truth in this life.

The very day of October 7, Israel vowed to hunt down each of the rats that took part in 10/7. The stories of that day are as cruel and barbaric as those testimonies from the Bataan Death March and subsequent POW camps for our guys in World War 2. Anyone—anyone—that cannot or will not condemn 10/7 is every bit as fiendish as the perpetrators themselves.

And just like the Holocaust deniers, we are seeing today that many Westerners, from the safety of social media, are questioning whether 10/7 even took place!

Even though Hamas gargoyles posted the real-time brutalities on social media.

This is the worst part of the whole story, the denial by the West and their supposed allies. Those “allies” include Jordan.

I have long though Jordan to be a duplicitous traitor to the West, more steeped in Muslim ideology than their public face projects. King Abdulla I was on the way to being a friend to both Israel and the West, until he was assassinated on the Temple Mount in 1952. His son, King Hussein, was a fairly decent ally. He at least knew Israel saved his life many times and, if reports can be believed, he tried to warn Israel of the impending Yom Kippur attacks in early 1973. He wasn’t believed.

Their successor, the dangerous King Abdullah, is a snake. British-educated, this urbane, seemingly moderate Middle East monarch plays a double game. His wife, Queen Rania (a “Palestinian” born in Kuwait), pushes “Palestinian” propaganda 24/7.

A recent article by superb analysis Dr. Raphael Medoff addresses this problem.

“A new study of the books used in Jordanian schools has found that they ‘continually justify’ the October 7 atrocities as ‘a response to Israeli oppression.’

“That’s consistent with the assortment of rationalizations, minimizations, and denials of October 7 that have been heard from prominent Jordanians. Recall what Queen Rania said: ‘It hasn’t been independently verified…that Israeli children [were] found butchered…There’s no proof of that.’

What a shrew. What a diabolical shrew.

She knows very well that Islam allows such murders of the “infidels” and her faux-classy demeanor can’t hide that fact. She is a propagandist and jihadist just like the others.

“Remember Ahmad Daqamseh, the Jordanian solder who massacred seven Israeli schoolgirls in 1997? The Jordanian authorities released him after serving just 20 years in prison. When he returned to his hometown, ‘dozens of relatives and well-wishers gave him a rousing welcome…People flocked to see him,’ Reuters reported at the time. ‘The release of this hero has cheered us,’ a prominent member of the Jordanian parliament, Saleh Armouti, declared.

“Can anybody imagine Charles Manson or Jeffrey Dahmer receiving a hero’s welcome if they returned to their hometowns? Of course not. Because American schools do not teach that killers are heroes. Jordanian schools do—at least when the killers’ victims are Jews.”

This struggle Israel is forced into has been a long one. It will continue until that blessed moment the Father releases His Son to come rescue us. The world is absolutely hurtling toward total destruction. We are not capable of saving ourselves. One blessed day, all this will be nothing more than a distant memory. In His mercy, the Father has promised to wipe all unpleasantness from our minds as we walk into eternity.

Maranatha!

The Great Ignoring

As wars for Israel’s existence rage on multiple fronts, it continues to fascinate me that so many people miss what Israel is all about. This is due to many factors.

American and European seminaries have been breeding grounds for unbelief since at least the 19^th century. That usually surprises people. We think our seminaries are “safe places.” They are not. The Germans and British were harming the faith and turning out confused pastors by 1860. This has filtered down through the modern Church Growth Movement, because the devil is very clever. He molds untruths to fit his agenda.

Too, the Bible predicts that the Church will have its share of lukewarm Christians, and those that love their soft religion.

“For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.” (2 Timothy 4:3,4)

What we are seeing now is literally a fulfillment of prophecy, and a very obvious one. But most Christians today in the pews do not know about this verse because no one has taught it to them. What they do know is Joel Osteen, Jesus Calling, and verses meant for the Jews but lifted by the Church. That is all pure trash. (Btw, if you want to understand what Jesus Calling is really all about, check out the work by Warren Smith.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

That verse is primarily for the Jews, for Israel. But American Christians have it on coffee mugs and framed prints. Ironic!

We see right now, this day, Israel besieged on every front by enemies. At least seven fronts being engaged right now. I read a report this week detailing how Hamas has reconstituted its forces, using Western weakness to do so. And mocking us as they go. Right now in Gaza, Hamas is melding battlefield strategies (and sophisticated ones) with religious ideology. Iraq, often forgotten in the modern war on terror, is shot-through with Muslim death cult ideology and extreme Jew-hatred. That’s just for starters. The Bible told us Israel would be friendless in the very last days.

But people are missing the importance of prophetic fulfillment. Sure, there are still plenty of prophecy “experts” focusing on fringe topics. That brings in the cash, as people are titillated by teachings they are told are biblical. Meanwhile, scores of prophecies already fulfilled prove the Bible’s authority. Yet these largely go unlearned because it’s not as sexy as speculating which European monarch right now is the antichrist.

Chuck Missler knew, though. He said it many times.

“The Bible is the only book that hangs its entire credibility on its ability to write history in advance, without error.”

Wow! Yes! This is the point. We sit on the very cusp of future history. But so many are blind. Even at the same time the prophecies that outline Israel ending up alone. Those pieces are being put in place.

A report from the Meir Amit Center spells out how Iran is playing the West:

• Senior Iranian officials strongly condemned the elimination of the head of Hamas’ military wing, Izz al-Din al-Haddad, in the Gaza Strip and emphasized that his death would not harm the path of the “resistance” until the “elimination” of Israel.
• In a statement marking Nakba Day, the Iranian Foreign Ministry emphasized its country’s support for the Palestinian people’s right “to resist occupation and apartheid” and for the right of return of Palestinian refugees.
• Senior Iranian officials reiterated Tehran’s demand for an end to the war in Lebanon as part of its proposal to end the war with the United States. The Houthi leader claimed that Hezbollah’s “resistance” operations are “legitimate.”
• Iran welcomed the formation of the new government in Iraq headed by Ali al-Zaidi.

It’s the same playbook Sadat used in Egypt, and Nasser used as well. This week, a “Captain Allen” on X posted this:

On This Day — May 18, 1967

18 days before the Six Day War, Arab leaders openly broadcast their planned extermination of Israel.

Egypt’s official Voice of the Arabs declared:

“The sole method we shall apply against Israel is total war, which will result in the extermination of Zionist existence.”

Two days later, with Syrian troops already massed on Israel’s border, Defense Minister Hafez al-Assad declared:

“I, as a military man, believe that the time has come to enter into a battle of annihilation.”

All this rhetoric was predicted in the Bible, regarding Israel’s position in the last days. Yet scores of churches are missing this completely. Bible prophecy is ignored today by most of the American Church.

So we have all this momentous stuff going on around us and fewer people are biblical in their thinking. Again, that in itself is a tremendous fulfillment of Bible prophecy. It is a privilege for us in the minority to see these things falling into place.

As always, I urge you to do your part where you are. We don’t have to try and change the world. We are obligated to reach our families, friends, and others in our personal orbit. The world might be ignoring Israel but we won’t.
