Ominous Signs

Since the day in May of 1948 when Israel was founded, numerous Islamic enemies have publicly proclaimed their goal of destroying Israel and the Jewish people. Ominously, three current news headlines proclaim loudly and clearly these stated goals.

Ahmad Karimpour, a senior adviser to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, said if the Supreme Leader Khamenie gave the order to destroy Israel, the Iranian Military can do it quickly. Providing further detail, he stated Iran could raze the Zionist Regime in less than 8 minutes. He went on to say they have test fired a missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers with an error margin of 8 meters.   

Two additional stories about the Palestinians also prove the emphasis of our message this week. The Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority, Rami Hamdallah, recently stated that the former Mufti of Jerusalem who was leader of the local Arab population during World War II sided with Hitler and his Nazi Regime. He met numerous times with Hitler and helped Nazis recruit Muslim troops. He also agreed with the Nazis on the extermination of all Jews in the Holy Land. This is the example set for current Palestinian leaders.

Lastly, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu issued a personal invitation to Palestinian Authority President Abbas to meet for direct peace talks. Netanyahu in his offer stated, "It is time to sit down together and work out our differences so that peace may reign at long last." For the second time in as many months, the Palestinian Authority response was a callous "NO." The intentions of Iran and the Palestinian Authority past and present is obvious for all to see and understand - destroy Israel! 

However, as we study our Lord God's Word we understand the truth about the future of Israel. Zechariah 8:2,3,7,15 state, "Thus says The Lord of Hosts: 'I am zealous for Zion with great zeal;with great fervor I am zealous for her. . . I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem . . . Behold, I will save My people from the land of the East and from the Land of the West; I will bring them back, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. They shall be my people and I will be their God . . . I am determined to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do not fear.'"  

Hallelujah! Keep Praying! 

May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Each Day,
