God’s Miracles

What Israel has accomplished since October 8, 2024 is nothing short of miraculous.

In fact, Raylan Givens posted on X a quote from Benjamin Netanyahu:

“PM Netanyahu on Channel 14: ‘Hashem performs miracles for us every day, we are living in historic times.’”

(Hashem of course is God in the Hebrew.)

Dov Hikind, founder of Americans Against Antisemitism, said this that Israel’s restraints are getting ready to come off:

“’Look, I guarantee you that the Israelis will finish the job with the Houthis and with Iran in due time, as they’ve done with Hezbollah, as they’re doing with Hamas,’ he said. ‘It’s all going to end with a great victory for Israel and for the West, because what Israel is doing is very, very important to democracies all over the world. So I don’t think there’s a dispute in Israel. They are going to do the job. They know what to do. They know how to do it. It is only a question of time.’

“’Let’s be very, very clear: The Biden administration has hindered Israel from doing what it needs to do for a very long period of time regarding Hamas, regarding Iran,’ he continued. ‘I mean, why hasn’t the United States dealt with the Houthis? We are a powerful country. We have everything in that area. Why haven’t we sent a message to the Houthis that would have ended all this? And the reason is because the Biden administration is weak, period.’”

I think it’s more than that. Meaning, the Biden “administration” is literally a devilish clan doing the work of their father, the devil. Seriously. Literally.

I don’t think the Regime in Washington has been weak, or is weak. They are immoral. Their worldview is devoid of morality and ethics because they are far from God.

“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God.” (Isaiah 59:1-2)

Despite this evil arrayed against them, the Israelis are advancing. At this moment, they are crushing into powder the remaining Hamas terrorists in Gaza. They have Hezbollah devastated and at bay in Lebanon. Iran is next. The mullahs are going down.

Today, missiles from the Houthis targeted Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and Judea-Samaria. And get this, Israel has destroyed a 10-mile tunnel in Gaza. Ten miles! This is madness, and a colossal moral failure on the part of the international community. Which is far from God. The world is silent when Jews are murdered. But the tiniest, most insignificant criticism of Israel is shouted from the rooftops.

Here’s a bigger problem for Israel, though. According to the Jerusalem Post:

“Eighty-three-year-old Holocaust survivor Ludmila Lipovsky was murdered in a terror stabbing attack outside her nursing home in Herzliya on Friday morning. Security guards neutralized the attacker before arresting him.”

The scum that snuffed out her life (she survived the Nazis!) was also a Trojan Horse:

“An initial investigation revealed that the terrorist was a Palestinian resident of the West Bank city of Tulkarm who had previously served a prison sentence in Israel. The Shin Bet added that the suspect was a former Shin Bet aide who had helped thwart terrorism in the West Bank.

The suspect’s collaboration with the Shin Bet was later exposed and he was transferred for rehabilitation in Israel. He has now been transferred to the Shin Bet for questioning.”

Transferred for questioning? “Rehabilitation”?

Why is he still breathing?

He murdered this precious angel and he still lives?

This to me is a chief problem in this whole equation. You can maintain your humanity, while at the same time responding in such a way that the enemy is deterred. And what should be that deterrence? You kill one of ours? You’re automatically dead. But there is no Ze’ev Jabotinsky in Israel today. There are diplomats and soft-spoken intellectuals that abhor a vigorous response.

Israel will be able to still win wars, but they will do so because God has decreed it. What will continue until Messiah comes back is this back-and-forth killing, this sick violence against Jews.

The Arabs of Israel should be moved out of the country. Get rid of all of them.

(This view has cost me work and relationships within the pro-Israel community, I can tell you. I can also tell you that doesn’t matter to me. A serious, realistic response to a century of Arabs murdering Jews is what is needed.)

At this point, it is obvious that God is sustaining His People, just as He said He would.

“Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.” (Jeremiah 31:35,36)

These are among the most beautiful words ever recorded in human history. The astonishing love that the Father has for the Jewish people makes my heart sing, as my wonderful mother would say.

We are witnessing a sea-change of miracles from the Father, from the Lord of History, the Creator of everything. He is coming soon! Until that time, I hold the precious Jewish people close in my heart.

Have a fabulous New Year!

Maranatha!

The Spirit of Prophecy

This being the “Season of the Reason,” it’s good for us this week I think to talk about Jesus. He’s “Israeli” and as a Jew was born in Bethlehem, so this is a profitable discussion for us just days before what I hope is a joyous Christmas for you.

This week, Pete Garcia posted this intense thought on X:

“I had a pastor tell me once, ‘I don’t focus on the book of prophecy, I just focus on Jesus.’ The book of Revelation 19:10: ‘…For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.’”

(I’m a big Pete Garcia fan, a veteran who is known in the prophecy community. He knows his stuff. His comment struck a chord with me.)

We all know that too many pulpits in America today refuse to talk about Bible prophecy. This is dismaying and, to be honest, infuriating. These alleged shepherds are depriving their congregations of great hope and the Blessed Hope by ignoring 35 percent of the Bible.

I wrote a piece on my Patreon page this week about Bethlehem. In it, I cited a few examples of CHRISTIAN LEADERS that in the last century have worked hard to cast doubt on the historicity of Jesus’s birth in that little Judean town. Some say it’s outright myth, some say the prophet Micah cited the “wrong” Bethlehem (they claim, wholly without evidence, that the town of Jesus’s birth was the Bethlehem of the Galilee). To add a finer point to it, these skeptics deny the Virgin Birth!

In 1961, Rev. James Pike, Episcopal bishop of California, said that the Virgin Birth is a “primitive myth.”

In 1964, a Baptist editor said that while a majority believed in the Virgin Birth, a “substantial minority” do not. This minority did not need to believe in the Virgin Birth in order to accept the deity of Christ, because it isn’t dealt with by Paul, or in the Gospels of Mark and John (This is called the “Argument from Silence”).

A new United Church of Christ curriculum of that era taught youth that it isn’t important to believe in the Virgin Birth.

The question is, why would they do this?

Because they are of their father, the devil. That’s the answer. We often try to find other, kinder and softer reasons, but this is the reason. Most people have no idea how absolutely corrupt the seminaries in this country have been for 150 years. Really. They turn out pastors that deny the faith—which, very ironically for them, fulfills NT prophecies that teach of the coming apostasy in the last days. You can’t get more compromised than denying the Virgin Birth and the accuracy of the prophets.

Remember, it is God Himself—the Lord of History—that has given us very specific, detailed prophecy, so that we can be sure of our faith. As Pete wrote, we should be highlighting the fact that Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. Denying prophecy is denying the Redeemer, the Messiah sent to pay the penalty for the sins of mankind. We each have only to accept, as Paul wrote in Romans 10, that God sent Jesus in the flesh and raised Him to life after three days in the grave.

When a pastor refuses to preach the whole Bible, he is engaging in dangerous and sinister work.

There are plenty of terrible examples of churches in the U.S. holding bizarre services, especially at Christmas, when they have “captive” audiences that normally don’t attend church. Featuring the “Grinch Stole Christmas,” complete with professional dancers, is not preaching the Gospel.

Jesus is indeed the spirit of prophecy. Scripture tells us so. If pastors (your pastor!) isn’t teaching this, and growing the congregation in a healthy understanding of eschatology, you’ll have to do it yourself in your own network.

This is the perfect time of the year to teach your children, grandchildren, neighbor, or anyone else the beautiful story of Jesus born in Bethlehem, and the marvelous, stupendous, astonishing prophecy given in Micah 5:2, that the Messiah would be born in a tiny hamlet way out in the sticks. It happened 700 years later! In fact, David and Jesus would both be born in Bethlehem, 1,000 years apart. Two kings, one eternal.

I pray that each of you will experience pure joy and contentment and peace this Christmas season.

And most of all, remember the Reason for the Season!

Blessings to you all.
