GAZA Lies and the Soon Coming Necessary Destruction of Jerusalem

 Why I Stand with Israel

I support Israel not primarily because of my eschatology, but because my faith calls me to love my neighbors and contend for justice.
First, the Jewish people are the single most consistently persecuted minority people in human history. From ancient to modern genocides, they have been hunted, hated, and murdered more than any other minority people group in the world. They have suffered in ways few can comprehend. Tragically, much of this pain has come at the hands of professing Christians. Recognizing this glaring fact of history is a part of what it means to be aware of reality, to "read the room" at this moment in history.
Most Jews are aware of the long history of Christian mistreatment of Jews. Most Christians have no idea. Christianity's selective memory / historical amnesia doesn't just fuel misunderstanding, it allows unrepentant sins to continue and even be repeated.
My support for Israel is a practical extension of my Christian faith that calls us to defend the poor, the marginalized, and the oppressed. To care about justice is to care about those suffering injustice.
Now hear me clearly: Palestinian children are just as precious as Jewish children. Their suffering is real, and it breaks my heart. Their pain, however, stems from their own corrupt leaders who have consistently chosen to trade offers of peace for toxic ideologies, particularly the more racist aspects of Islamic eschatology and Islamic replacement theology. A theological vision that seeks to carry out a genocide against the Jewish people causes everyone involved to suffer.
This brings me to theology. Any version of “Replacement Theology” (whether it's called Fulfillment Theology or Inclusion Theology) that erases Israel’s future is structural antisemitism. This doesn't mean that everyone who adheres to these systems hates Jews. Many are sincere, but sincerity does not sanctify error. To erase the Jewish people’s identity, purpose, and covenantal destiny is to do what no other form of racism dares: claim that God Himself has rejected an entire ethnic people.
That is theological racism. It is Christianity's longest and most pervasive unrepentant sin. I will have no part in it.
Joel Richardson

My two cents... The leaders of Gaza lie and let their people die. The surrounding Arab community (did you know Egypt has a border with Gaza and could let all the refugees into their country if they wanted to) does not ever help Gaza, because Gaza is a tool to be used to incite Jewish hatred. The gullible West falls for it because the principalities and powers that rule over every nation but Israel hate the God of Israel. The God of Israel is God Most High and he has a plan for the end of this age that includes an anti-christ (probably currently residing in Syria), a vicious attack from all the nations that surround Israel that leads to a horrible destruction in the land of Israel. For a brief time the current nation state of Israel will enjoy a time of peace and a rebuilt temple. The clock that is Jerusalem will be ticking at that point. Forget saving up for your kids college, forget your 401K, the Kingdom is coming. If this evil age extends beyond 2034, I will be very, very surprised.

Cohen Bitter Old Man

 Leonard Cohen was incredibly talented. 

Sadly, somewhere a long the line, he had a choice and that choice was to humbly accept the Messiah of Israel or to turn inward.

Based on this lyric he turned inward, "As he died to make men holy
Let us die to make things cheap"

But somehow the truth is the gifts and calling of God are not withdrawn.

We have indeed made a cheap gospel, cheap grace, I think Bonhoeffer called it.

It sells.  It fills seats.  It self perpetuates.  It does not invite persecution.  It is ear-tickling.

It is time to call a lie, a lie, the time is too short to play games.

Beyond Categories

 I want to say, "Only Satan would want you to dig up the sins of your past in great detail."

But is that true?

Remember we serve the God of Israel and at one point He led Samson to marry a Philistine.  It  made no sense to his parents and frankly, it makes no sense to me, but there it is staring us in the face. What will we do with it?

How can we wrestle with the scriptures?

Pause, SELAH, for a Moment of Introspection

 https://www.wypr.org/wypr-news/2025-07-14/skepticism-questions-and-healing-remain-after-baltimore-mass-overdose-hospitalizes-27

27 people simultaneously OD on the streets of Baltimore. 

Here and gone in the "news cycle".  No tears, no cries, no real investigation.

 https://www.cbsnews.com/news/camp-mystic-campers-counselors-killed-texas-flooding/

27 Campers and counselors killed in Texas flooding.  We are broken with sorrow, funerals are paid for, heroic rescue efforts for days afterward. Go Fund Me's all over the place.

 HHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMM?

Way back in the day I worked at a "home" for court placed kids whose parents had many issues that spilled over on to them.  I have kept in touch with a few of them and one of them made this video.

I love it.

Where are the tears, where are the programs, where is the funding for those being actively killed by the greed that drives the illicit drug industry?

The Key

 

"Israel reveals the hearts of men and Jerusalem sifts the nations."  Phil Haney

 

This quote from Phil Haney deserves to be on billboards all over this world.  Not because a majority of the public will understand, but to put the principalities and powers on notice that there is a remnant that does understand.  And to let Phil Haney's voice still speak even though they killed his body.

I Kill and I Make Alive

 The Most High God makes this statement.

If we can trust Him to kill what needs to be killed, then when He moves with resurrection power, we will see the New Creation that He makes alive. 

Resurrection only comes after death.

Have Your way, God of Israel.

SRA (Satanic Ritual Abuse) is as Real as Human Trafficking

 Some voices are denying that SRA is real. This is deception. Survivors of SRA need us to believe them, support them and stick with them through the process of discovery and recovery.

In humility we realize that according to the scripture the only thing that prevents us from being perpetrators of such evil is the grace of God to keep us from the opportunity, so we pray for those entangled in it, perpetrating it. May sinners turn before the Day of the Lord overtakes them.
