In God’s time

It was just two weeks ago that the Lebanese provided a hero’s welcome for some freed terrorists. Such is the moral depravity of the Lebanese that they welcome back the scum who did this (from the Jerusalem Post):
In 1979, Kuntar and three other gunmen made their way in a rubber dinghy from Lebanon to [...]

Actual, factual history (as opposed to Arab or lefty versions) demonstrates that “Palestinians” did not previously exist as a coherent national or ethnic group. However, some pre-modern inhabitants of what is now Israel were labeled “Philstines”, hence the name given to the area; i.e. “Palestinian” is a translation of “Philistine.” The Philstines were [...]

Ezekiel

The current nasties in charge in Iran have threatened to wipe Israel off the map, using nuclear fire. Words are cheap, they say, but sometimes the saner course is to take apparent madmen at their word.
I was reminded of this warning that God will protect his people Israel. Ezekiel 28:
25 Thus saith the [...]

This rather remarkable piece of news was delivered by Saeb Erekat, who is the Palestinian’s chief negotiator with Israel. According to this article in Ha’aretz, Erekat “rejected on Monday the [Israeli] government’s demand that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state.”

Moral dilemma

According to this story in the WaPo, some 2,000 refugees fleeing Sudan. From the WaPo, the basics:
Israel closed the door Sunday on a surge of asylum-seekers from Sudan’s Darfur region and from other African countries, the largest influx of non-Jewish refugees in the modern history of the Jewish state.Authorities announced that they had expelled [...]

"most abhorrent"?

First, let me say that, although I think he is an idiot of the first water, I pray for Jimmy Carter. Pray that he will read the Scriptures he seems to have forgotten in his very public persona of piety.
Nice alliteration, there, John Luke, now get to the point. The point is that [...]

"I am Cyrus!"

Israel and the Jews have always had lots of enemies and likely always will. But there are also some rather excellent friends of both the modern state of Israel and the Jewish people. And they are to be found among Protestant Christians.
