The Word That Placed America in Jeopardy!

“Now the Lord said to Abram., Go forth from your country, And from your relatives and from your father’s house, To the land which I will show you; And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you. And make your name great; And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse.  And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed” (Gen. 12:1-3).

Hey Gang, I pray you will forgive me this morning but I feel like I am busting inside and need to get some things off my chest.  So let me do some rambling and, if it gets to heavy, or something that you really do not want to hear, just hit the delete button.

 I have used the illustration of John Poole in other blogs, where at the end of a powerful salvation message he challenged those who did not know the Lord to surrender their lives to Christ.  A man in the middle of the auditorium began to shout, “Somethings fixen to happen”.  He said it over and over again and it kind of got into John’s gizzard but the longer the gent shouted this the more it moved from his gizzard to his excitement meter and Poole began to shout, “I don’t know when it’s fixen to happen but I am fixen to be part of it. “

And what is that word?  Abstain!  For the first time in America’s history, America turned its back on the only true friend we had in the world.  Barack Hussain Obama did it, despite enormous pressure from the government of Israel, President-elect Donald Trump and members of his own party in Congress, Barack Hussain Obama decided to stick a knife in Israel’s back at the United Nations.  

What that means in legalese language is “The UN Security Council adopted a resolution that calls for a “two-state solution based on the 1967 lines” and that shockingly states that “the establishment of Israel  settlements in the Palestinian territory occupied since `1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and must go”.  For decades, the U.S. veto power on the UN Security ‘council has shielded Israel from these types of resolutions, but this time around Obama decided to betray Israel by allowing this vote to pass.  Needless to say, this vote is going to have enormous implications for Israel, for the United States, and for the entire globe.

Several days ago, when there was much rhetoric filling the airways as to whether Barack Hussain Obama  was going to follow his predecessors and veto this resolution or take revenge against a person he has proven that he distained, throughout his presidency by shoving the knife into the back of our ally, I read  an article titled “The Real Reason Why America Had Been Given A Reprieve” 

In that article the writer presented a rather compelling case as to why we have been spared.  Simply stated, because we have always protected Israel’s back with our veto power.  But what about now? 

In 2008, William Koenig penned a book that he titled Eye to Eye, subtitled “Facing the consequences of dividing Israel”, in which he listed 45 catastrophic events and 12 lessor events that occurred in our nation after demands where placed on Israel to give up covenant land.  In my humble opinion, none, not a single one, even comes close to comparing to any of the 57 catastrophic events of the past Friday before Christmas/Hunakkah!

In the past months, as the pre-election fiasco was at its grubbiest peak, I was able to keep the anxiety levels are a minimal level by simply not tuning in on the news.   Add to this the periodic prophetic messages that came across the computer suggested there would be a miracle on election day.

Does that mean I was free of anxiety.? Not by a long shot.  As we neared the end of our current occupant of the Oval Office and knowing there was movement afoot to bring the Israel-Palestinian issue to a vote in the United Nations, and knowing that the rumor-mill was filed with growing suggestions that our president would support the resolution that demanded Israel return to the 1967 borders!  Now that folks is cause for concern, with the full knowledge of God’s warning when we made such suggestions before.  But this was not a suggestion, this was a pure act of betrayal against a nation that has been our ally since its inception in 1948.    

But even more profound it was a betrayal against God!   Joel made that very clear when he wrote: ”Then I will enter into judgment with them here on behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations;  And they have divided up My land” (Joel 3:2B). 

But even before Joel spoke these words, go back to Genesis and read these words: “And I will make you (Israel) a great nation and I will bless you.  And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse, And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed” (Gen. 12:2-3).

This has not been a nice morning message following Christmas, but we do have a mighty God who has promised that He will take care of those who humble themselves before Him, pray diligently, seek God until you lock into His ways, and put off the things that offend the Lord. (2 Chron. 7:14).  I close with a promise from God through Paul “And we know that God causes all thigs to work together for good to those whole God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom. 8:28)  Are you locked into His purposes?

Blessings,
