It’s being reported that during Bush’s visit here next week that it will not be the IDF, Mossad, Israeli Police or Shem Bet who protects him in Ramallah but Abbas’s Fatah Organization. That means that Bush will be surrounded by terrorists from the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade an organization on the US terrorists list. A terrorist group within Fatah that has killed more Israelis than Hamas has. Bush’s protector will be Abbas the head of the PLO and other terrorist organizations.
This brings up an obvious observation, why would the PLO, Fatah, Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade want to keep Bush alive. But then the answer is also obvious and I hope you haven’t missed it. They know that it is only through Bush and his Saudi Peace Plan (Road Map) that they have any chance of destroying Israel. They know it, we know it and everyone who cares to know it understands what Bush is trying to accomplish and why.
What is also disturbing is there are still so many “Christians” in the US who are Bush supporters. The reason it is so disturbing is if they are “Christians” then they have or should have read God’s Word the Bible and know what happens to any nation or person who comes against Jerusalem or Israel. The truth is their concern is not their relationship with God but their misguided trust in a government that has gone astray. Their god is not the God of the Bible, but material things, they know the Prophetic Word of God yet they will only accept that which is pleasing and feeds their bellies. While Pastors stand behind pulpits every Sunday and preach messages that deny the truth of the reality of Israel and God’s Word, preaching a message of replacement theology, more interested in keeping their high paying salary and entertaining the congregation with programs and building projects while the rest of the world is going to hell in a hand basket.
There are still many true Believers in God’s Word and know Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah but for the most part they lack the conviction to stand up for what they believe. As Islam moves forward killing Believers around the world by the tens of thousands daily they somehow believe it won’t come to them, but they are mistaken. For even as you read this Islam the Devils plan is knocking on their front doors.
God is not only concerned about what you say and do where you live, but if you know His Word you know you should love and support Israel for it is the Jew and Israel He has chosen to bring His Word and final acts to the Human Race, for God will certainly stand true to His Word and He will bless those who bless Israel and curse them who curse Israel. Gen. 12:3.
As for the US and President Bush, judgment is coming and it won’t be long. You should be thanking God every day for giving you another chance to act on what you believe and bless God by being obedient to His call on your life.
As we look for nuclear or chemical attacks in the US Cities we may be over looking another real possibility of destroying the US economy. It has occurred to me that there must be a reason that Bush suddenly pulled back from calling Iran a nuclear threat. He has openly stated that his intelligence for the past few years has been wrong and that Iran has stopped building the bomb several years ago. This is what I think has happened for what that is worth. Russia has told Bush that if he attacks Iran they would consider it an attack on Russia. China has told bush that if he attacks Iran they will call in all their debt and drop all the dollars they now hold, and that would be disaster to the US economy and cause bankruptcy. And a country with all its troops over seas and in total bankruptcy could not fight such a war. Bush now has found himself caught between his friends the Saudis and the threats of Russia and China all this spells the end for the USA. The bottom line is you best do what you can with what you have and I wouldn’t wait around to long in doing it. But better advice would be to get on your face before God and ask Him what He would have you do.
For those of us who have been called by the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) to a ministry we best have tunnel vision and be about the Father’s business. Keeping in mind that God’s timing and His ways are not ours, so don’t do anything foolish and remember that you must protect your family to the best of your ability but without God’s leading even that could cause you to do foolish things.
For me and my family and those who God has called to this Ministry we will keep going forward for we have heard very clearly from God and know we must save those who we can. We need to purchase the larger boat and if those reading this would reach deep in their pockets that could be a reality in time, if not we will do the best we can with what we now have. God knows each of us and more important He knows our hearts so if you have done what you believe to be all you can do, God will be pleased with you, success is not measured in heaven as it is here on earth.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem for our son Joel and all the IDF soldiers. Pray for this Ministry and your part in it. Shalom, jerry golden
Many of my American friends have taken some issue with this article and I want to say the following
Firstly I want to say and I hope everyone knows that I fully agree with, fully support and have posted Dr. Michael Brown’s articles refuting John Hagee’s heresy about the Jews not needing to believe in Jesus to be saved. John Hagee’s view are completely unbiblical and are heretical!
However I think there is a common human fault, in that we as Christians do not seem to be able to find the proper balance on issues such as this. And because of that we see the body of Christ very publicly shred each other, thereby I believe injuring the body of Christ and grieving the Lord.
I believe True Spiritual Wisdom witnesses and can help us to find that proper balance. But I think it requires of us to remove all shackles of Theological partiality concerning Physical Israel. And that can be difficult at times.
I see the John Hagee’s move too far in one direction and then I see what is known as the Christian “left” move to far in the other direction towards an anti-semitic Replacement Theology.
I hope we alll can agree that Biblically the Jews are not saved unless they believe on Jesus Christ. So that is not an issue here.
What I see happening is Christians being drawn towards either extreme view needlessly. Because they allow themselves to be drawn into false straw man arguments.
Such as: Should we as Christians defend Israel unconditionally?
The real question should be and it does not require us to have a specific theological viewpoint on where physical Israel fits into God’s plans to determine if we can find the answer to it, just that we have good Biblical spiritual wisdom and insight to determine what is right and what is wrong:
Should we as Christians defend the right of Israel to exist as a nation and defend its right to have defensible borders?
To me the answer is simple. Israel has proven over and over since its founding that it is willing to go the extra mile to live in peace with its neighbors.
Its neighbors on the other hand have shown repeatedly that they are not willing to reciprocate. They have shown the complete opposite and more!
To this very day their very public known aim is the complete annihilation of Israel!
I say that since Israel as country has repeatedly turned the other cheek, (a very Christian principle) to its neighbors, and even though as Jews they live in blindness and rebellion against God, we are obligated by God’s law to defend their right to exist as a nation against their wholly hypocritical neighbors who very shallowly and grudgingly agree to international agreements soley for western consumption, but in reality show very clearly in their speeches and rhetoric to their own people that they will not rest until the nation of Israel is utterly wiped off the face of the map!
What we lose in this fast paced modern world is the loss of historical context and why specific situations exist today. Such as the Israel / Arab issue.
Again it does not require that we have a specific Theological viewpoint on where physical Israel fits or does not fit in God’s plans to understand how we should conduct ourselves towards Israel as Nation to Nation.
It only requires that we stand on the firm foundation of Biblical Morality. In this instance as a Nation we agreed with many other nations that Israel had a right to be established as a nation and to have defensible borders. The true historical context of this is that there is contrary to popular opinion no specific group known as Palestinian, this name was established by Israel’s Arab neighbors (Jordan, Egypt, and Syria) in order to give international legitimacy to a separate “Palestinian” Arab State, for the simple reason that they found they could not defeat Israel militarily, but were shrewd enough to know that if they could create a new separate national identity to Jordanians, Egyptians and Syrians living in Palestine, then over a period of time they could undermine the established state of Israel by using this new “Palestinian” entity as a proxy state with which to foment unrest, and turn international opinion agaisnt Israel, its called asymetric warfare . If you cannot defeat a much stronger opponent via direct military action then you wear then down via an extended international geo-political and terrorist campaign.
The U.S. also agreed that Israel’s neighbors had a right to exist and have defensible borders. And in God’s eyes as a nation we are bound to the agreements we make and to justly administer and honor those agreements.
I have studied for years the geo-political events of the Middle East, I have traveled there and I can say without a doubt and without a need to lean on a specific theological viewpoint, that physical Israel although in blindness to God, are a light in the Middle East. And we as a nation need to vigorously defend their right to exist and have defensible borders. now I know many Americans will say that we as a Nation have defended her right to exist vigorously, but unfortunately we as a nation, and our governments have not done that. Our governments since the very establishment of the State of Israel have acted with two hands towards Israel. We have acted in the time established method of hypocritcal geo-political statecraft. Which is not based on right and wrong it is based on finding a “common ground” between opposing sides. And this “common ground” is devoid of what is Biblically right and wrong. And as a country we bear and will bear the judgment in how our governments have functioned towards Israel and other countries in that regard.
One of my major studies at University was Political Science, and the art of statecraft practiced since time imemorial and the founding of the first nation, it is the art of manipulating other nations whom you wish to control but are unable to by force, instead you create or perpetuate a situation of tension between them that requires you to be the arbitrator, the discipliner, and the benefactor. The U.S. has acted in this role in the Middle East since the end of WWII and the decline of the British Empire. We are but the latest in a long line of empires that have adopted the previous empires geo-political handbook on how to “manage” troublesome areas within our sphere of influlence ro our onw purposes.
American Christians do need to wake up and understand that although many times on the surface our governments have seemed to strongly support the nation of Israel, in actuallity, behind the scenes the mechanisms of Geo-Political Statecraft have been just the opposite. And further they have not been done with the motivation to do what was Biblically morally right by any means.
This article IS very important because it speaks very clearly to the direction American Evangelical Christianity is headed ie to an apostate Rick Warren Global Peace Plan ideology that does not use Biblical wisdom, but actually draws from an Atheistic Humanism Ideology. This is what “International law” is based on. And although many Christians will criticise the State of Israel for not following all of “international law” what they fail to realize is that International law is not based on God’s laws. it is based on what is perceived as the “common good” for the “world community” at large!
So lastly we need to as Christians tread very carefully about not allowing ourselves to be drawn in a direction like so many of our past theological giants have done, that makes us want to be or sympathize with the temporal hand that seems to punish physical Israel for her spiritual blindness. We need to be like the good Samaritan and disregard the fact that the man laying in the road is not of our faith, but to act in accordance with what is morally right in the eyes of God.
We should always proclaim very vigorously as the Apostle Paul did that Judaism (The Old Covenant) has been superseded by the new covenant in Christ Jesus, but in that to have the wisdom to know that doesn’t prevent us from defending Physical Israel’s right to exist via God’s universal laws of justice.
God Bless,
John Baker
