The Monster is Gone

Well, there’s no other subject this week, right?

Yamamoto is dead! Saddam swings from a rope!

Donald Trump has potentially reshaped the Middle East from one decision.

This week, the American president ordered a hit on the world’s top terrorist, Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. Arguably the most powerful man in the Islamic country of Iran, Soleimani’s arrogance had brought him to the point of landing at the Baghdad Airport, only miles from the besieged U.S. Embassy. In the week prior, Trump sent the Marines and 750 paratroopers from the 82^nd Airborne to bolster the embassy, ringed by terrorist “militias” backed by Soleimani. Trump also issued a direct threat to Iran.

Next thing you know, a drone strike cremated the odious Iranian, along with others from his entourage.

I have not often seen broadcasters—many of whom are Never-Trumpers—struggling to keep from expressing admiration for the President’s boldness. Yes, the usual suspects, themselves traitors, are criticizing the move. But the consensus is, this is a game-changer.

German journalist Julian Reichelt has written:

“President Trump has freed the world of a monster whose aim in life was an atomic cloud over Tel Aviv. Trump has acted in self-defense – the self-defense of the US and all peace-loving people.”

I tell you in all seriousness, I woke up thinking the identical thing this morning. Iran’s leadership has its main goal as terminating Israel.

And see what God has done.

Why in the world cannot people read history and quake in the presence of Israel? Do people not believe history? Do they ignore it?

The international community certainly ignores Bible prophecy.

But this is what the Lord says:

“Yes, captives will be taken from warriors,
and plunder retrieved from the fierce;
I will contend with those who contend with you,
and your children I will save.
 I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh;
they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine.
Then all mankind will know
that I, the Lord, am your Savior,
your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.” (Isaiah 49:25-26)

Soleimani, as we now know, was also responsible for hundreds of American deaths. He helped devise explosive devices that blew apart our brave men and women in Iraq and Syria. Maimed others for life.

Now he literally awaits being thrown into the Lake of Fire at the resurrection of the dead.

Soleimani was also plotting attacks on American diplomats when the missile came in his car window. Trump has saved more lives.

What will be exciting is watching how this strengthens Israel in the region. For those who worry about the Iranian threats of retaliation, just know that they are limited in what they can do. I concur with some experts who believe this will show that the Emperor has no Clothes. Not that they can’t do damage, but as others have said, if Trump could do this to Iran, he can do anything.

MAGA!

ISRAEL!

Provocation?

According to a Jerusalem Post report, Israel plans 2,000 more housing units in Samaria, while in 2019, 617 Palestinian homes were demolished.

The units will be built in the Harasha outpost and a little beyond. According to the UN, Israel plans a whopping 22,000 new housing units in the “West Bank.”

We shall see. That is ambitious and, with the demolitions, will be seen as a red flag waved in the face of the international community. As we’ve written before, good and bad things are happening simultaneously where Israel is concerned.

On the one hand, we have historically good relations between the U.S. and the Netanyahu administration, which is giving great cover to the Israelis. With Netanyahu announcing that he wants to annex the Jordan Valley, and Trump’s State Department giving the green-light to consider the Golan Heights as sovereign Israeli territory, Israel is enjoying boom days.

Of course, this doesn’t even take into account the astonishing move of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem in 2017.

What we also know, however, is that the other side is relentless in their evil. The Left never rests, and will give no peace to Israel in the coming years. The stage is setting up “nicely” for Zechariah’s prophecies to be fulfilled, because Jerusalem will be the match that lights the great and terrible Day of the Lord.

And although FOX’s Pete Hegseth recently produced a wonderful report on the source of the Palestinian Christians’ plight in Bethlehem (featuring my good friend, Brian Schrauger), the BBC is continuing its usual flawed reporting on same.

According to a CAMERA report:

“Barbara Plett Usher, notorious for her tearful eulogy of arch-terrorist Yasir Arafat  and her participation in BBC’s longtime campaign to delegtimize Israel, was sent to Bethlehem to report about Christmas there.”

In part, this is Usher’s report:

“Bethlehem, regarded as the birthplace of Jesus, typically sees a tourism boom at Christmas and this year looks like it could be one of the busiest years in recent memory. But as a Palestinian town in the West Bank, Bethlehem is also feeling the economic effects of the Israeli occupation. Israel has restricted movement out of the West Bank and confiscated some Palestinian land to build Jewish settlements.”

This kind of stuff, these falsehoods, only inflames Israel’s many international enemies, and keeps going the fictional narrative that the “Occupation” is responsible for the Arab ills.

There are more problems.

A rash of anti-Semitic attacks—in the U.S.!—the latest at a Hannukah celebration in New York portend troubling days ahead. This is especially so as the generation of “leaders” like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez become more emboldened to spew their anti-Jewish filth.

We must brace ourselves for what is to come, and enjoy these days of relative peace.

As always, we know that our Lord is watching and in control.

Maranatha!
