JEWS IN THE NEWS

Hamas and Israel are locked in a death struggle. In Gaza, 100,000 souls have been killed or injured. Many hundreds of thousands are homeless and in danger of starvation. The bombs that continue to fall from planes made in America are also made in America. President Biden is on the horns of a dilemma. He is committed to protecting the Jewish state from Islamic terrorists but believes Israel’s response to the murders of 1,300 Jews is disproportionate. He is conscious that many Jews (especially young ones) and Muslims in America have found a common cause: the killing of innocent civilians in Gaza is a gross violation of the laws of warfare. He is also aware that PM Netanyahu is a soiled politician who is determined to lead the Jewish state, if for no other reason than staying out of prison.

Cries of racism tend to confuse the issue, and charges of antisemitism are sometimes a cloak to cover sin. Let it be plainly said: ANTISEMITISM IS AN OLD EVIL that can never be justified. So also is the killing of innocent civilians. Look at Gaza. A temporary cease-fire will solve nothing. Only God’s grace can change hearts, and the policy of “bombing the hell out of them” is shortsighted and counterproductive. Every bomb that strikes Gaza and kills innocent men, women, and children is producing more terrorists. Terror produces terror. Does anyone in Israel and Gaza remember the Jewish baby that King Herod tried to murder? The Hebrew Old Testament calls him the Prince of Peace, and there will be no peace in Israel without him.

THOUSANDS ATTEND ALEXEI NAVALNY’S FUNERAL IN MOSCOW

Russia’s conscience was buried on Friday, March 1, 2024. Against the wishes of the Kremlin leaders, thousands of brave Russians attended the funeral of Alexei Navalny that took place at Borisovsky Cemetery in Moscow. The Putin regime that has taken Russia back to the dark days of the Soviet Union that murdered millions of dissidents has been accused of murdering Alexei. All of Mr. Putin’s critics have either been shot, poisoned, thrown out of high-rise buildings, or killed in plane crashes. Putin has denied any responsibility for these killings. While the Russian authorities tried to intimidate the family and friends of Alexei, thousands of Russians attended, and many shouted words of defiance:

“Russia will be free!”

Ambassadors from America, Great Britain, and Germany came to the cemetery, and their presence served as a temporary shield against Russian police brutality. But it is expected that there will be mass arrests during the next few days. One man was heard to say, “Alexei was not afraid, and neither are we.” History records that Russia has produced the very best and the very worst people. Alexei was one of the best, and we salute this brave martyr.

ISRAEL TAKES A HARD RIGHT TURN

Prime Minister Netanyahu is riding a wild steer. If he stays on, he will go where the wild beast wants to go. If he is tossed, he will be gored, mauled, and mutilated. The wild steer is the far-right group of Israeli politicians who are the equivalent of the Pharisees of Christ’s day. They believe Jesus is an impostor and that they have a divine right to all the land of Palestine. They are now in charge of the Israeli parliament and are motivated by extreme Zionist aspirations. To stay Prime Minister, Netanyahu needs to appease them and illegally keep building Jewish settlements on the West Bank, an activity that has been opposed by every American administration, with the exception of the Trump presidency which itself was captive to right-wing Evangelicals.

Palestinians like the Jews have a political right to a homeland, but extremists in both camps will continue to make that dream illusionary. History has shown that there is no peace without the Prince of Peace. The Jewish prophet Isaiah wrote about it in his book in the ninth chapter and sixth verse, but who in the Middle East is listening? Certainly not Netanyahu and his Pharisee party. Certainly not Hamas.

IT’S 1939 AGAIN!

During the 1930s, Germany prepared for the Second World War. America slept, and Britain dozed. A defeated superpower nursing legitimate grievances rearmed. That power was Germany. The war of 1914–1918 had been a disaster. The German economy was bankrupt. The mighty Deutsche Mark had collapsed. If it took a wheelbarrow load of the paper money to buy breakfast, a truck load was needed to buy dinner. Inflation was out of control. Germany had been badly treated by the victorious allies (Britain, America, and France), who imposed onerous reparations upon the bankrupt nation. Hitler watched, waited, planned, and stirred the masses with his Nazi propaganda that seethed resentment.

Russia was defeated in 1991. The mighty Ruble collapsed. The shops were empty. The great USSR fell apart. Eastern Europe, once a buffer against the West, became a part of the West, exposing Russia to Western influence and exploitation. (Russia has long feared invasion from the West.) Allied assurances that NATO would never expand to Russia’s borders were ignored. A young KGB officer in East Berlin declared that the collapse of his USSR was the greatest disaster of the Twentieth Century. His fears seemed justified when Ukraine, once part of his Communist empire, became an ally of the West and sought membership in the camp of the enemy, NATO. The enemy was no longer a distant threat; it was next door. The young officer was Vladimir Putin.

Conditions that preceded the Second World War look very much like what’s happening now. Russia, like Germany, is angry and resentful. Russia, like Germany, has rearmed and is intent on restoring her lost empire. She has already invaded Ukraine. Putin threatens to use nuclear weapons. America is divided. Congress is impotent. Putin sees America and the West as corrupt and weak. China, North Korea, and Iran are standing with Russia. Even India and South Africa are supporting Putin. The Middle East is in turmoil. Israel and Hamas are locked in a fight to the death.

Old hatreds, long-held grudges, perceived injustices, broken promises, and dreams of national glory are coming to a boiling point. In fact, the pot is about to boil over. It appears that we have entered the times described by the prophets of the Bible. The Great Tribulation that Jesus described may well be upon us. It’s 1939 again.

“Therefore, be ready, for in such an hour as you think not, the Son of Man comes.”

WILL DONALD TRUMP FULFILL BIBLE PROPHECIES?

Former President of the US threatens Europe and encourages Putin.

Donald Trump has told the European nations who are a part of NATO that unless they pay up, he will tell his friend Putin he has permission to invade them. Bible prophecies teach that the End Times will be marked by wars, desolation, and a “Time of Trouble” such has never occurred in human history. Evangelicals in America, fervent supporters of Trump and his policy of America First, believe they will escape any future troubles by being taken home to Heaven. This idea that has no Biblical support is called the Rapture. It really means that Donald’s Christian fans can enjoy prosperity now and escape any problems in the future.

The Rapture will get them out of harm’s way. Trump appeals to his Evangelical base because he has successfully attacked the radical liberal policies of the Left-Wing Democrats while promising his faithful base the benefits of heaven on earth now and unending glory to come. Trump successfully glosses over sins that would have horrified Republican Party stalwarts (think Reagan and the Bushes) by encouraging a watered-down form of Christianity. He just may be the man who starts the Third World War.

The poor Democrats with their weak Woke agenda have inadvertently helped Trump prepare the world for a time of instability and terror. But the Republican Evangelicals are laughing; they will be in Heaven when the great Time of Trouble starts. Too bad for them, the Rapture is a hoax.

CONSTANTINE RIDES AGAIN

A giant new statue of the Roman emperor has been set up in Rome. Like the hero Destry that Churchill so admired, Constantine is riding high again. The movie “Destry Rides Again” was a favorite of England’s Prime Minister when the Nazis were threatening Great Britain.

Today, Constantine, like Destry has returned to acclaim and favor. The new forty-foot statue is a replica of the one that Constantine commissioned for himself after 312 AD. The imposing replica was created using 3D modeling techniques from scans of nine original parts that survived 1700 years of violence and neglect.

Today, the giant Constantine, wearing a gilded tunic and holding a sceptre and orb, towers and glowers over the citizens of Rome. “Destry” is back in town. Constantine the Pagan Roman, for political reasons, professed conversion to the Christian Faith. He was instrumental in bringing about a marriage of Church and State thus creating the Papacy that ruled and persecuted dissidents for over 1000 years. Constantine actually made possible a religious reign of terror during the “Dark Ages.” Wylie, the historian said, “The noonday of the Papacy was the midnight of the world.”

Constantine’s policies of politics and religion are now back in favor. Millions around the world, especially in America, are looking for a new Constantine who will defeat the Pagans (godless Liberals) and produce a new Christian society where Church and State are united. But instead of Utopia, they will get the Mark of the Beast. See Revelation 13 and 2 Thessalonians 2. Those with insight and a knowledge of history will oppose these current developments. Christianity is a matter of the heart, not the product of legislation. Constantine may be riding high, but he’s on the wrong horse. So are his followers.

HAMAS AND THE RAPTURE

Prime Minister Netanyahu has the enthusiastic support of America’s Evangelicals lead by Donald Trump. The Evangelicals believe that Israel is the ‘Chosen’ of God and is fulfilling Biblical end time prophecies. The Rapture, an idea that is not taught in the Bible, is seen as the grand climax to all Evangelical hopes with the Faithful being whisked away to Heaven. Donald Trump is the God anointed champion of Christian values against the evil plots of Democrats and God hating Liberals. So tens of millions of Americans believe.

BUT, Netanyahu is no believer in Jesus, nor are his Israeli supporters who see Jesus as an impostor, and false Messiah. None of this troubles the Evangelicals the majority of whom have never opened a Bible, except perhaps to retrieve a lost photo of Aunt Mary.

Hamas is a dangerous terrorist organization. Many students of the prophecies of the Bible believe that Hamas is a general part of the prophetic scenario. They understand the End Times will be full of violence that will climax in the personal return of Jesus, but without all the nonsense that goes with Rapture theology.

Christians would do better if they did not confuse their politics with Jesus and the Bible. The Bible is about our salvation, not the Democrats or Republicans. Christianity is about telling the truth and living a godly life.
