Are you getting anxious about what is happening? Are you following events day by day?

I am taken back by all the protest against Israel and the support for the Hamas.

I think what is happening is like, 1 Kings 22:22 - 23. Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD. And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’

All that scripture says will happen, will indeed happen, and appears to be happening now.
He also promises to protect His Own in the time of trouble.
I see a report clueless joe was ushered out of the WH due to protests, if BO orders him to forsake Israel, I can see where he would do so. Also see Turkey prepping troops, could be Turkey AND Russia as the King of the North?
We who are here were foreknown and there is a responsibility who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Clueless Joe might even abandon Israel over this as a lame excuse if his mind (B.O.?) tells him to?

No, not anxious and yes following the events day by day.

This is not how I see it.

I think we will see a progression until Israel has to take out the nuclear missile capability of Iran. That will cause an outrage in Iran and they will go full on berserk mode which will cause Israel to reduce Damascus to a ruinous heap with a nuclear bomb, the "Samson option". This in turn will create massive protests worldwide reminiscent of what Lot saw in Sodom and then the rapture will take place.

I think you will see things get progressively worse until the scenario I just laid out. What people are seemingly not mentioning is that the IDF is systematically taking apart Hamas. Wiped out their "navy", and is in their tunnels killing and destroying Hamas and their weapons. We are also seeing impressive victories against Hezbollah.

Being against Israel's actions towards the people of Gaza is not support for Hamas.

When you're allowing evil to stay in your country, you pay the price. Hamas is using innocent people as human shields.

The people of Gaza are equally guilty just as the Germans and Japanese were guilty of what their leaders did.
They allowed it to happen.

The average muslim doesn't know anymore about islame than the average American Christian knows about Christianity.
Much of the "humanitarian aid" was used to create this war, that hamas could field this may for the attack and Israeli intelligence did not notice? Was there a stand down?

The nations are kicking it up in the threats, and conflicts, because it is close to the New Age Christ negotiating peace in the Middle East.

Controlled conflict brings about controlled change.

The nations government have people in position that go along with a one world government, so they are waiting for the New Age Christ to establish peace in the Middle East.

The Pope elected 72% of the Cardinals so the majority will elect the new Pope that will go along with the New Age Christ.

When the man of sin starts working in the world the nations governments, and the Pope will come together like clockwork.

I agree with you. It's shocking to me to see how many support terrorists like Hamas. Anti-Semitism is alive and well sadly. And worse those who are Anti Zionist and don't believe that Israel has a right to exist. "Palestinians" chant "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free". They don't believe in Israels right to exist. They have turned down land for peace 4x !!! Israel sits on 1% of the land in the ME and STILL their haters won't allow them a homeland. I will continue to say it, God is a Zionist when it comes to the land of Israel!! He will keep His promise and the replacement theology false doctrine folk can forget it. God promised them the land and they will have it, or God is a liar!

But it is the belief that Israel does not have the right to defend their own nation.

It's very sad that some think so little of Israel that think Israel should do nothing when terrorists come across their border with men and missiles and murder over 1000 people... and Israel should not respond?

Disagree all you want... Israel is going to clean house and the Lord Jesus Christ will help them get it done too!

Actually, the US and other nations have always tried to retrain Israel to stop them from cleaning house... now Hamas has gone too far and Israel will now do what is in their best interests just like other nations would do in the same situation.

This may be the start of WW3 where the world gathers up against Israel and the yellow US democrats ruining the US government will back away from supporting Israel... if the US does that, you can expect some bad things to happen here at home... in blue states.

Kinda like when the first Prez Bush was in the middle east telling Isreal to give up more land... a storm was destroying his family's home up on the east coast. That was hilarious! Score one for the Lord! banana_dancing.gif

Christians should NOT be getting anxious about these matters, since Christ already said that there will be wars and rumors of wars. Neither should we be spending much time following these events day by day. They will proceed according to what the warring parties decide from time to time. War is war, and may Israel win this war on terrorism and clean up the mess in its backyard.

We should be aware of the signs of the times. We are told to be prepared.

Prepared for what? Is it not to meet the Lord at the Resurrection/Rapture, which is always presented as being imminent?

I have decided that it is very challenging to respond to the content of a post when a person who has not yet grasped the new testament and still thinks we are in the old testament.

It is also a challenge to respond to people who have not yet grasped that spiritual salvation is a gift which is eternal.

As well, it is a challenge to respond to people who somehow think God did not bring to fruition all that He promised in Jesus (spiritual Israel) but somehow held out on the land.

As challenging as it is, I am going to respond by saying I predict after WW III the Christians who are left will ban dispensationalism as a huge error in understanding scripture and God and because of the atrocities it supported in its name.
