Another interesting commentary

This one comes from a Jewish media outlet. I found it particularly interesting that United States General David Petraeus said that Israel was, "a strategic burden on the U.S." I wonder how widespread this opinion is throughout the current administration. For the U.S.'s sake I hope not too wide spread.

Interesting commentary from the Washington Times

I found this to be a very interesting and well written commentary.

Coincidence?

I don't think so.

U.S. policy becoming more openly belligerent toward Israel

The United States continues its march down the dark path to becoming a curse and not a blessing to Israel, as our leaders have begun to openly adopt a more belligerent attitude toward Israel and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

It appears Prime Minister Netanyahu was the recipient of a 43 minute "tongue lashing" from U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. It seems U.S.-Israeli relations are at an all time low.

Read this article for a synopsis of the situation.

Interesting read

This is a very interesting article. Apparently secular news sources are beginning to pick up on the growing trend of anti-Israeli policy in the current administration.

Our foreign policy is progressing down a dark path. Pray that the eyes of our leaders understanding be opened.

Genesis 12:3

The U.S. should tread carefully

Very soon indirect peace talks will begin between Israel and the Palestinians brokered by the United States. It is very important that Christians here in the United States pray for our leaders that God gives them the wisdom to stand with Israel and not push them into surrendering land for peace. We must pray we as a nation bless Israel and not curse Israel through our foreign policy.

It's not just us

I have posted here numerous times that bad foreign policy on the United States part involving Israel could have consequences for our nation. Well, the U.S. is not alone. I find the timing of the following interesting. I have posted two articles here. Read them in order to appreciate the timing.

Palestinian statehood without negotiations with Israel?

According to the following article, the Palestinian Authority is considering a plan to petition the United Nations to create an independent Palestinian state outside of negotiations with Israel. Sadly, according to this article, our government would be in favor of such a plan.

I say once again, we need to pray for our leaders to have wisdom in dealing with the nation of Israel. We do not want to be found as a nation standing against Israel.

Foundations of the New World Order

One of the things we know about the future of our world is that the day will come when the earth will come under the control of one man, the Antichrist, and under the control of a one-world government. While this is a future event, it is possible to see what could be the foundations of such a government being laid today.

The following article shows how the United Nations is working even now to bring about a global type government. However, the U.N. is not out and out promoting their plans as what they are. They are using the "issue" of global warming as a cover for their true intentions.

The science advisor to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher called the U.N.'s Copenhagen climate change conference a cover for their real agenda of laying the groundwork for a global government. Consider this quote form the linked article below in relation to this position, "But the major topics are a global system of governance and what amounts to the next stage of a radical transformation of the world economic and social order, in the name of saving the planet."

One more point before moving on to the linked article: For years the term New World Order has been used by believers and unbelievers alike to refer the the coming one world government. However, those in high positions have made the decision to now use the term "globalization" in place of New World Order. They have done this due to the reaction this term causes in believers. Keep this in mind when you hear the term "globalization" on the news.

More pretext for war

As if a war involving Israel and Syria or Iran didn't already seem inevitable, the following article shows further cause that could bring it about.

The United States and the "kings from the east"

One of the questions students of Bible prophecy often have is, "where does the United States fit into end-times prophecy?" Many theories exist on the topic, however the consensus is that the U.S. does not appear in Bible prophecy. For a thorough examination of the topic I would suggest reading The Late Great United States by Mark Hitchcock. I believe this book is a must read for all Christians in the United States.

If the United States does not appear in Bible prophecy than something must happen to the most powerful empire the world has ever known to render her unimportant in last days' events.

Another aspect to consider in studying the Biblical prophecies of the last days is that there will be a powerful nation come from the east, Revelation 16:12. Many Biblical scholars agree this is a reference to the area of Asia we would refer to as the far east, which includes Japan and China.

With these two ideas in mind, the eventual decline of the U.S. and the rise of the "kings from the east", I would like for you to read these articles.
