What is John Kerry doing? Have you heard the term, “the most dangerous man on earth?” Well, maybe that’s a stretch and maybe it isn’t. But the wreckage he is creating is staggering. Sure, much of it is coming down from his boss, Barack Hussein Obama.

The Obama/Kerry locomotive has been trying to jam a peace deal down Israel’s throat. They threaten that if Israel doesn’t accept the ludicrous terms, it would de-legitimize Israel. They leave out of the equation the fact that Israel has no peace partner. Time after time the “peace partners” walk out as has Arafat, Hamas, and Abbas.

In Bill Koenig’s most recent Koenig’s Eye-View from the White House, he quotes columnist Caroline Glick. She states:  “Once again, on Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry tried to extort Israeli concessions to the PLO by threatening us with a Western economic boycott.

“Kerry is obsessed with Israel’s economic success. Last May, he told us that we’re too rich to surrender our land. Now he’s saying we’ll be poor if we don’t do so.

“The anti-Semitic undertones of Kerry’s constant chatter about Jews having too much money are obvious. But beyond their inherent bigotry, Kerry’s statements serve to legitimize the radical Left’s economic war against the Jewish state.

“Administration supporters and fundraisers from Code Pink and other pressure groups, as well as the EU, understand that if they escalate their economic and political persecution of the Jewish state, their actions will be met with quiet understanding, and even support, from the Obama administration.

“This is so even if the State Department issues indignant press releases expressing fury [that] those Israeli elected officials have the chutzpah to object to Kerry’s behavior.

“Israel has been subjected to plenty of abuse from American secretaries of state. But Kerry’s incessant talk of ‘illusory’ Jewish money is unprecedented.

“Why does Kerry believe he can get away with this? The overwhelming majority of U.S. lawmakers oppose economic warfare against Israel.  The vast majority of Americans support Israel and believe that a Palestinian state will support terrorism and be hostile to Israel.”

Glick goes on to provide the troubling answers. “The answer is as infuriating as it is apparent. It is the Israeli Left, and through it, much of the American Jewish community that enables Kerry’s diplomatic aggression against the Jewish state. Operating under their cover, Kerry feels free to engage in anti-Jewish bigotry directed against Israeli society.

“He believes he is immune from allegations of ill will toward Israel even as he places the full weight of the U.S. government behind a plan that will endanger Israel, bring no peace, destabilize the Middle East, and fail to win the U.S. any friends or allies in the Islamic world.”

Some in Israel are comparing Kerry to Haman and warn that his plans amount to a war on God.

A group called Rabbis from the Committee to Save the Land and People of Israel sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry this Sunday, warning him to end his “antagonism” towards Israel. The rabbis sharply criticized Kerry for his plans to establish an Arab capital in Jerusalem for Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, and to have Israel withdraw to the 1949 Armistice lines.

Recently, Kerry threatened Israel with an international boycott if peace talks fail, in addition to previous threats of a “third Intifada” last year.

The Rabbis, although not believers, still made an accurate statement. They said, “Your incessant efforts to expropriate integral parts of our Holy Land and hand them over to Abbas’s terrorist gang, amount to a declaration of war against the Creator and Ruler of the universe.”

They concluded, “If you continue on this destructive path, you will ensure your everlasting disgrace in Jewish history for bringing calamity upon the Jewish people — like Nebuchadnezzar and Titus who destroyed, respectively, the first and second great Temples and the entire Holy City of Jerusalem, and who, by Heavenly punishment, brought eventual disaster upon themselves, too.”

Though they lack the light of the Holy Spirit, they have still spoken truth. America has endured a winter like no other. In my area, the Upper Midwest, the temps this winter have beencompared to that on Mars when factoring in wind chills. Wrap your brain around minus 70 degrees. The West is experiencing a 100-year drought. Forests will soon be aflame in a dozen states.  We do not know if there is a connection but it doesn’t hurt to ask.

There are consequences to continually pounding God’s land and people; making deals with her staunch enemies such as Iran; compromising her safety day after day; favoring her barbarian Islamic neighbors with back door deals; arming her enemies.

Israeli journalist Michael Freund calls Kerry a bully in a china shop. He states his arrogance is only preceded by his ignorance. He recently made up a country: Kyrzakhstan. One of the most powerful men in Washington and the world doesn’t know there is no such nation.

As Gary Bauer writes, the Iranian leader is responding to this kind of “give peace a chance” leadership by sending warships near our coast.  And the regime’s state-run media is treating its citizens to propaganda videos featuring the bombing of Tel Aviv and sinking of an American aircraft carrier.

John Kerry is conducting delusional diplomacy. It comes from a man and an administration that is drunk with power and that thinks they are world rulers when, in fact, they are utter fools.

His answer to his critics? He and Obama have a commitment to finding peace in the Middle East. Not true. They have an agenda that promotes every radical Islamic cause in the Middle East, that marginalizes every Christian in the region, and that would bring about a swift end to Israel and her people.

For such actions, there are terrible consequences. We are forcing our best ally to negotiate with a gun to their head.

The Bible’s references to end-time “strong delusion” are appropriate here. In fact, there is no other explanation. Yes, the Antichrist will specialize in that but before that

Ben Stein has a recent article in The American Spectatortitled, Is This Really Happening? The sub-title reads, “Obama Accedes to Israel’s Possible Annihilation.”

Stein writes, “I really cannot believe what I am seeing in the news about the U.S. and Iran. In 2013, less than 70 years after the end of the Hitler regime in Europe that killed half of all of the Jews in the world, roughly half of the Jews in the world are threatened with annihilation again–and the U.S. administration is not only going along with it, but cheering on the possibility.”

He further writes, “Hitler did not have nuclear weapons, thank God, and there was no tiny little country like Israel where 7 million of the race he hated with such a crazed vengeance lived. So he had to send police and militia and the Gestapo and the SS and local anti-Semites to round up the Jews.

“The Iranians in the recent past, have pledged to destroy the Jewish people in the Middle East. Some of their leaders have boasted that if Iran gets nuclear weapons, Iran will have ‘a holocaust in an afternoon’ by rocketing a few nuclear weapons into Israel.

“Naturally, the Israelis are desperately worried.

“The problem is that Iran has made many promises about stopping the nuclear program. It has not kept any of them. It has not signed the non-proliferation treaty. It has not allowed inspectors in its most secret plants. It has raced on towards nuclear weapons that could, in a half hour or less, cause another holocaust.

“Iran is the world’s leading state sponsor of terror. Many of its top brass have expressed a wish to see an earth rid of Jews altogether. For Mr. Obama to trust these people–the same ones who killed 300 Marines in a terror attack in Beirut 30 years ago last month–to actually change their stripes and suddenly become trustworthy, is deeply naive or worse.

“It’s death for Israel. It’s another Holocaust and the world–except for France–is standing by saying, ‘Go for it, Iran. We trust you.’ There is something biblically horrifying about the whole situation.

“This is no time to reduce the sanctions. If Iran actually destroys its nuclear factories and labs, that’s a better bet. But just for a promise of a freeze to stop the sanctions that can be reversed in hours?

Stein closes by asking, “Have we learned absolutely nothing from Hitler? Will we have the most wicked stain possible on the human race again within one lifetime? Obviously, Mr. Obama is willing to take the chance–with the lives of seven million Jews. Maybe Congress will have more heart.”

Who would have anticipated that America would one day cheer for the annihilation of Israel? But that’s what is happening. And for that there are consequences. Horrific consequences.

Ken Blackwell writes a penetrating article in The Christian Post stating, “Now, the world is distracted and distressed. Financial meltdowns, ethnic conflicts, and a toxic popular culture combine to unfocus our gaze. Iran is proceeding — boldly, defiantly — toward nuclear weapons. The Obama administration clearly has no idea how to prevent this.

“Mr. Obama assures Israelis if they like their country they can keep it. But his word is not to be relied upon.”

Blackwell continues, “Can it be that salvation–at least in this temporal sense–is once more to come from the Jews?Nothing can be clearer than that if the world must rely on Barack Obama to stop the Iranians, they will not be stopped.”

Blackwell concludes, “For these reasons, we need to look to Jerusalem for our security. Once again, the peace of Jerusalem is linked to the fate of the world. This time, let us pray the leaders of the Jewish state do their duty without fear, without interference, and without deference to a muddled leadership in the White House.”

Of course we look to God for our security, but Blackwell is double emphasizing the importance of Israel and our dependence on her rather than Israel’s dependence on America. Our foolish leaders cannot see this. He that keeps Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121). I don’t think she is going to be annihilated! America may be, but not Israel.

America is currently in a Luke 21 scenario: We have “distress with perplexity.” We have dilemmas for which there are no solutions. There is no way out of the ObamaCare steel trap. No matter which way we turn in the maze, we run into a wall!

How about 80 tornadoes close to Christmas? Is there a message to us in that nightmare?  Perplexity.

Despite the fact that we have a more than trillion dollar deficit, an almost 17 trillion dollar debt, and roughly 100 trillion dollars in unfunded Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security liabilities, we seem incapable of slowing down our spending. Our country will be bankrupt in 5-15 years unless something is done. Perplexity.

The more government expands, the more freedom contracts and less vibrant and healthy our society becomes. This is producing an Orwellian country. Perplexity.

The degenerate and dishonest behavior of our politicians, school shootings, abortion, trashy reality TV, drug use, gang activity, gay marriage and children being born out of wedlock, among many, many other issues, are eating away at the core of our once-solid values. Perplexity.

I believe some of this national decline is directly tied to our support or abuse of one of our best allies, Israel.

Always pay attention to the meaning of Genesis 12:3. There are blessings and cursings involved with the treatment of Israel.

It just never ever pays to stick your finger in the “apple of God’s eye.” No nation, denomination, church, political party, ministry, or individual, will get away with it forever. Behavior has consequences.
