Endangering Your Own Country

It shocks me more than almost anything related to Israel in the last 30 years.

Of all the threats to Israel’s sovereignty, I never thought it would come quite so much from within. Like most impregnable armies, Israel is not likely to be defeated on the battlefield. Better to attack from within.

When news broke a while back that some reservists were refusing to serve due to their dislike of Benjamin Netanyahu’s judicial reform efforts, I was blown away like many others were. What is this? We aren’t talking about France or Brazil or even the Arab countries. This is Israel, a nation of survivors from millennia-old attacks. One of the pristine features of Zionism is that it holds that Jews have a right to defend themselves in their own land. For 2,000 years they were vulnerable precisely because that option was unavailable.

As most of you know, Netanyahu is attempting to beat back the leftist judiciary in his country. Similar to what we are dealing with in America. Think Netanyahu is blowing smoke about being attacked by his leftist enemies? Try getting slapped with multiple bogus indictments as a (*former) president in the U.S.?

Think globalist agendas don’t exist? Think those are conspiracy stories?

Netanyahu has been fighting the same entity for almost 30 years.

According to the Times of Israel:

“The Israeli Air Force has suspended several high-ranking reservists, a Friday report said, a day after the Navy suspended a senior reservist who had vowed to halt volunteer duty to protest the government’s judicial overhaul.

“IAF chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar agreed to suspend the service of several brigadier generals, the Kan public broadcaster reported, apparently following the lead of the Navy, which suspended Rear Adm. (res.) Ofer Doron on Thursday.”

A vice admiral named David Sa’ar Salama has given up his volunteer reserve duty, because he said he refuses to “live in a dictatorship.” Wow.

Do you see how leftists work? They work to build a dictatorship, then they accuse their ideological foes of being the ones building the totalitarian web. It’s common knowledge that Israel’s judiciary is infected with socialists and worse. Slowly over time, and with help from Western friends, Israel’s political elites have been moving the country into harm’s way. It’s exactly the same situation we have, with our ruling elites in Washington making decisions that directly threaten our country.

Netanyahu decided to take on this cabal. And they mean to hang him for it. As the man most responsible for Israel’s security, he realized a devastating situation existed within. So he took on yet another major challenge.

The revolt is a grave one, “sparking fears within the military of harm to its operational preparedness.”

It is predicted that at least 10,000 reservists will not show up for duty, in protest of the overhaul.

“Netanyahu’s coalition has rejected the reservists’ protests as a dangerous and unprecedented form of political blackmail by the military. Some coalition lawmakers suggested the protests are tantamount to an attempted military coup.

“Security officials voiced concern on Monday that, by allowing repeated public attacks on top military brass, Netanyahu was trying to shift responsibility onto them over the current harm to the state of military readiness.”

Whatever the outcome, and let’s hope this is short-term, Israel has been breached in new ways by the same diabolical entity that threatens the rest of the West. Globalists will stop at nothing to take down the last bastions of freedom.

Let us continue to pray for Israel in her unique situation.

The Toughest Job in the World

It’s truly incredible the issues that threaten Israel. Domestic, foreign, cultural, militarily, politically. An article this week from Ynet News highlights all this.

When Benjamin Netanyahu decided to tackle judicial reform, he knew it would ignite a firestorm of opposition. His job is unimaginably tough! As I say all the time, his situation runs so parallel to Donald Trump’s. Their respective political enemies sometimes cross. Many of the same corrupt operatives that have been dispatched to Israel during election season—by Bill Clinton and Barack Obama—are the same ones now trying to keep Trump out of the White House. Each man is embroiled in legal woes that threaten not only their positions, but their freedom as well.

Here I want to digress for a minute and explain what I think is going on. As believers, we know that the one behind all this ultimately is the devil. Personal evil is real, it exists. A certain madness envelopes such an entity, so that he pushes agendas that are irrational, destructive, and without moral constraints. Because the Bible tells us that this evil influences men, it’s easy to see why the international community’s leadership pursues insane agendas.

Recently I was re-reading a terrific book, Banquet at Delmonico’s, a story about Charles Darwin’s friend, Herbert Spencer, and his 1882 lecture tour throughout the United States. The British sociologist is responsible for some of the most evil initiatives ever seen. Here I want to quote one section, and my point here is to help you see how whole societies can be set up for a fall. Morally, one must maintain vigilance, if one is to stay away from the influence of the evil one. So here is the fascinating insight from Edward Youman’s, an American scientific writer in love with the idea that evolution would be embraced:

“Spencer will in time reap his greatest conquest in Germany. The whole nation is pervaded with religious skepticism, and they are without any philosophic guidance.”

Wow. There you have it. The collapse of biblical thought in a society will lead to disaster. Youman could not have known just how successful Spencer’s and Darwin’s work would be in Germany…50 years into the future.

Godless worldviews, particularly in government, lead to mind-bending evil. It is what afflicts the United States and, to some extent, Israel, right at this moment.

I firmly believe one of the main weapons the devil has used for the last 100 years is Marxism, fashioned after the Soviet version. By 1920, Lenin and Stalin were plotting to take down the United States from within. I seriously doubt they ever intended to confront the U.S. directly, even during the nuclear era at the height of the Cold War. What they did intend to do was send a flood of agents to infiltrate every single layer of our society. That’s what happened and explains why we are in the predicament we are in now. Israel is in much the same dilemma.

His enemies say that it’s obvious Netanyahu is trying to subvert legal justice in his own case by neutering the judicial authority. The same criticism is leveled at Trump.

However, I would point out the extreme corruption at the root of these criticisms of Bibi and Trump is the real threat. But because they have the benefit of corrupt Media covering for them, it’s hard for the truth to get out. But I did digress!

The writer of the article I mentioned believes the Israeli government is putting too much emphasis on judicial reform, and not enough on military threats, particularly from the north.

From the article, there is this very interesting observation:

“Iran succeeded in arming and equipping its proxies with precision weaponry. Until about a decade ago, precision weaponry was an advantage held by Israel against the adversary’s “dumb” missiles and rockets. Today, Iran is successfully advancing the production or adaptation of precision missiles and assault drones.”

It’s clear that Iran wants the option of bringing a multi-pronged war against Israel, using proxies in the region. Direct confrontation, terrorism, even the use of militias from Syria, Iraq and Yemen all threaten the Jewish state, potentially.

The article’s writer makes another great point. While Israel knows how to protect its own citizenry, it is less able to defend against precision weapons aimed at infrastructure, power stations, water treatment plants, etc.

It’s very obvious the Iranians are trying to take out Israel before Israel takes out Iran.

Our job, on the outside looking in, is to continue praying fervently for Israel. That is what we do best for our Jewish friends, and we believe it has tangible results. We hate evil, and look forward to the day it will be vanquished once and for all, by our Great King.
