The persecution of Christian believers both at home and abroad

Interesting development here – maybe part of setup for Ezekiel 38-39?

Ezekiel 38-39 predicts that an alliance of Russian and Iran, along with others, will attack Israel.  Russia is supplying the technology and know-how to Iran to build their nuclear warheads.  If Israel tries to take out Iran’s nuclear facilities with a preemptive strike, you can bet that Iran and Russia, their nuclear supplier, will be rather put out.  Don’t expect the U.S. to lift a finger in Israel’s defense.  Expect maybe some “tough talk” and finger wagging from our President and state department while we abandon our ally and hide over here in the other hemisphere.

The following article shows that the Russians are focused on the Jews for some strange reason as they take over the Ukraine.  Hmmm I wonder what’s up?

Now the Russians are denying…

Encouraging signs of alliance between Jews and Christians

I found This Wall Street Journal editorial in this morning’s paper to be very encouraging.  I think that increasingly, and especially under Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership, Israel is recognizing more and more that Bible-believing Christians worldwide are their most faithful ally.

They seem to recognize that although the U.S. on an official diplomatic level has all but thrown them to the wolves, the worldwide community of true Christian believers has nothing but respect and love for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel.

It would be understandable, to me, if Israel harbored suspicion and animosity toward all of Christendom, given many centuries of harsh treatment at the hands of the supposedly “Christian” establishment in Rome.  That persecution was inspired by Satan, perpetrated by evil men, and had no valid root in New Testament theology.  However it seems that today the message of support and honor from millions true Christian believers throughout the world toward Israel and the Jews is starting to resonate with Israel and the Jews.  In my view, just another sign that we are getting close to the time of the end.

Here’s the article written by Israel’s current ambassador to the UN in support of persecuted Christians throughout the Islamic middle east.

“Arab Spring” leads to unchecked persecution of Christians

See the above article.   Christians are being persecuted by Muslims at an unprecedented rate in the middle east.  Sounds like this “Arab Spring” that the media liars claimed was toppling dictators and bringing positive “democratic” change to the Muslim world is just an excuse to make war against Christianity.  The only “change” so far is that nations that were once friendly with Israel are no longer friendly and that nations that once protected their Christian minorities are now persecuting them like crazy.

Of course the current administration is still lavishing BILLIONS in “foreign aid” and tons and tons of free military equipment on these nations without interruption.

Here’s a question:  how can we as Christians be patriotic and send our children into the US military to follow the orders of this commander-in-chief who absolutely works against and opposes everything we believe and stand for?  How can we continue to root for the US on the world stage when the US has been hijacked from the inside by people committed to its destruction?  Am I wrong?  Some of my sons best friends are graduating from West Point this year.  I shudder at the thought that these wonderful young men are going to take their orders from this Administration.
