President Obama has managed to mangle the facts so many times, in such high places, that my amazement factor is on overload. However, one cannot but be amazed at his rhetoric, and the technology that allows this kind of soaring rhetoric – thanks to tele-prompters – however, we also must ponder this fact: “there is nothing new under the sun.” What we learned from this speech is present statistical evidence is not important, (the number of Muslims in America), we are just waiting to give the farm away to save them from themselves…and quoting the Holy Koran (!) is one way to earn points with Muslims – please note the places of applause closely.
As a follower of Christ, I am distressed at his lumping Jesus into the equation in the manner he did – knowing what I know about Muslim beliefs. Jesus was given a ‘pass’ only as one of the Muslim prophets. He exists for them, but they expect someone higher: the Mahidi. Just ask the President of Iran…who is certain this person shall appear on the scene soon and that all faithful Muslims should do all they can to hasten it by killing as many Christians and Jews as possible. Perhaps, being Obama said he was a Christian, he should have asked Jesus question instead: “and who do you say I AM?”
Some situations do not deserve ‘respect’ – Obama’s word for all seasons and reasons. I refuse to respect liars, slanderers, murderers, rapists, sodomites, and those intent on the destruction of other nations for whatever reason. And, while you are entitled to your opinion, if you want to cozy up with the enemy and believe this garbage, be my guest. Just give me ‘respect’ when I refuse to pay for it through programs that are scams to do one thing: promote an agenda to mainstream a system of belief that wishes to destroy mine! I absolutely refuse to tolerate your toleration! I like free enterprise, taxation with true representation and the right to state my opinions and beliefs without having to water them down with a little ‘lie’ to make them palatable. I cringe inside at the Obama soft sell of Islam – to Islamists and to, for the most part, an unsuspecting dozing American electorate.
Jesus came to bring a “sword” – and anyone who wishes to stand with Him in this hour will lift up the “sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God” and not listen to voices calling for “peace, peace, when there is no peace.” There will be no peace, until the PRINCE OF PEACE comes to straighten out this mess. I did not originally think Obama was the anti-Christ, but I’m beginning to wonder. If he’s not, this speech reaffirms my original insight - he certainly looks more and more like a forerunner. Hope you all are “looking up” and praying you are ready to stand before the Son of God and the Son of Man…with faith in Him not in any man.
So how is your faith level these days?
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” “Cast all your cares on Him for He cares for you.” May the Lord find us in peace and ‘spotless’ – separated from the world, the flesh and the wiles and schemes of the evil one.
Amen.

How God will use Jerusalem in end times
“Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the peoples round about, when they will be the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day, I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people; and that burden themselves with it will be cut in pieces, even through all the nations of the earth be gathered together against it…And it will come to pass, in that day, that I will seek to destroy all nations that come against Jerusalem.” Zechariah 12:2, 3, 9
“In that day” – a prophetic marker to indicate a future day, but one drawing nearer, when God will use Jerusalem as a standard by which to judge the nations of the world. Just as He’s used it to show the nations His glory, He is moving the clock forward again. Israel is His timepiece. Nationally, God can test the pulse of a nation by their attitude towards Israel. Look hard at our current U. S. policy decisions.
Excerpts from current commentaries regarding Israel:
Dick Morris: (A secular American Jew) - Death of Israel - Rasmussen Reports
“Israel’s life is in danger. If Iran gets the bomb, it will use it to kill 6 million Jews. No threats of retaliation will make the slightest difference…Obama, bent on appeasement, would likely not retaliate with nuclear weapons. And Israel would be dead and gone.”
“Those sunshine Jewish patriots who voted for Obama must realize that we, as Jews, are witnessing the possible end of Israel. We are in the same moral position as our ancestors were as they watched Hitler rise but did nothing to pressure FDR to take any real action to save them or even to let Jewish refugees into the country. If we remain complacent, we will have the same anguish at watching the destruction of Israel that our forebears had in witnessing the Holocaust. One thing is increasingly clear; Obama is not about to lift a finger to stop Iran from developing the bomb. And neither is Hilary Clinton. Obama may have held the first Seder in the White House, but he’s not planning to spend next year in Jerusalem.”
Abbas Zaki: Ambassador to Lebanon – a Muslim
Excerpt: International Christian Embassy Report in Jerusalem on May 26th
“With the two state solution, Israel will collapse because if they get out of Jerusalem what will become of all the talk about the Promised Land and the Chosen People? What will become of all the sacrifices…just to be told to leave? They consider Jerusalem to have spiritual status. The Jews believe Judea and Samaria to be their historic dream. If Jews leave those places, the Zionist idea will begin to collapse. It will regress on its own. Then we will move forward.”
Diana’s Note: The Arab world is mixed regarding Obama. They feel Israel and U.S. pose them the greatest threat. Watch for Obama’s June 4th speech to the Muslims, as the Muslim world believes there is hope with Obama – dating to his promises to open a new era with them. What is very clear, Jews and Muslims see the threat of the destruction of Israel as a current real possibility. That Obama had Netanyahu agree not to deal with Iran for six months is unbelievable. Evidently, the idea of a dead Israel is more important than stopping Iranian nuclear ambitions before they can unleash it on Israel.
These are times of testing preceding the coming of the Lord to open the eyes of His people, the Jews, to their Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus.
God’s test for us: Do we, as Americans, understand God’s redemptive plan for the earth? Will we support His will for Jerusalem? Will we further His plans in preparation for His future restoration “on earth as it is in heaven” for Israel, or fight against it?
The Word of God is verifiable. Not one prophecy has failed. Not one promise will go unfulfilled. God will not be mocked, nor will those who love Him be forsaken. Israel is the “apple of God’s eye.” How terrible for those who think they can trade land to appease the implacable evil schemes of those who desire to destroy her. We all will give account to the Judge of every created soul.
As Jews fight for the land He gave to Abraham, Issac and Jacob; those of us who have been grafted in to the covenant promises of God and believe in Christ, those waiting on earth for His appearing, will be transported to their heavenly home.
In the meantime, “pray for the peace of Jerusalem” and fight for her safety…we are always called to “overcome evil with good.”
“Lift up your heads, for your redemption draws near.”
