America’s Most Dangerous Time
Terry

I once
wrote the following in an article titled “Israel
Betrayed by U.S.?”:
Israel
today stands in the bull’s eye of rage. This is true in the case of being
targeted by the Jewish state’s perennial antagonists, the Arab and Persian
Islamist enemies. It is true in the case of the entire international community,
whose constituent nations see Israel as the congestive blockage to regional and
world peace. But it is the growing antagonism by United States presidential
administration operatives that is most disconcerting while this beleaguered
planet wobbles toward a time of unprecedented trouble.
As a
matter of fact, that coming time of unparalleled strife that will bring all
nations to Armageddon is termed “the time of Jacob’s trouble” by Isaiah the
prophet: “Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the
time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7a).
And,
it is Jacob’s trouble–the prophesied end-of-days dastardly treatment of Israel
by the nations of earth–that will cause the God of heaven to bring them to
Armageddon. This is what the prophet Joel foretells: “I will also gather all
nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will
plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have
scattered among the nations, and parted my land” (Joel 3:2).
Will
America Betray Israel?
We
come to the question “Israel Betrayed by U.S.?” The article’s title is in the
form of a question because like so much of this American administration’s
dealings, the “transparency” presidential candidate Barack Obama and then
President Obama promised is not forthcoming. Obama’s intended dealing with
Israel is wrapped in an impenetrable fog of political doublespeak…
Since
the time of that writing, a number of years have passed. Mr. Obama began his
administration almost from the very first day by treating Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu like a White House exterminator–having him come in
a door other than the front entrance reserved for dignitaries who are honored
with official reception by the president.
The
president, shortly after that first meeting with Netanyahu, abruptly left
the prime minister and went to have a private dinner, presumably with his
family. It was an undeniable snub.
This
was apparently meant to be within keeping with his promise to have “the most
transparent administration ever.” It was certainly transparent that this
president has an utter disregard for Mr. Netanyahu and for Israel, our
number-one ally in the Middle East, if not our top ally in the entire world.
Subsequent
snubs and disrespectful attempts to bully the Israeli leader and the Jewish
state are too numerous to get into. Obama’s attempts to intervene within the
sovereign affairs of Israel have not abated as of this late hour in the Obama
administration. In fact, they have increased dramatically.
While
there is less than nine months of his time as president remaining, Mr. Obama is
said to be planning many interventions into Israeli autonomy.
In yet
another audacious display of intrusion into the affairs of Israel’s dealings
with its internal enemies–many of whom plot and carry out deadly attacks
against Jewish citizens–American’s diplomatic enforcers are at work.
Ordered to do so by Barack Obama, America’s State Department minions join with
those determined to force Israel to bow to international demands in the matter
of housing construction in volatile areas of contention.
One
news item reports:
WASHINGTON
(AP) — Diplomats say the U.S. will endorse a tough new tone with Israel in an
upcoming international report. The report is to take the Jewish state to task
over settlements, demolitions and property seizures on land the Palestinians
claim for a future state…
The
harsh language marks a subtle shift. Washington has traditionally tempered
statements by the so-called “Quartet” of mediators with careful diplomatic
language…(Source: Matthew Lee and Bradley Klapper,
“US to Take Tougher Tone on Israeli Settlements in New Report,” Associated
Press, 5/7/16).
Early
on in the first Obama administration, the pressure to force Israel to give in
to diplomatic pressures of land for peace became a driving force in
U.S./Israeli relations. The effort has only ramped up since that time. It is as
if this president has an obsessive compulsion to impose his will before his
time is ended in the White House.
My
personal sense is that it is indeed the president’s compulsion that is in play.
Because it is the nation Israel we are considering, however, there are also far
more powerful intrigues involved. Ephesians 6:12 is at the center of this last
minute drive to make the rearrangements that Israel’s greatest hater wants
accomplished, it seems to me.
But,
my personal sense of prophetic importance of what all of this vitriol pointed
toward Israel means is of little consequence. What matters is what the
prophetic Word of God says about His chosen nation and its destiny, both
near-term and in the ultimate sense.

In
that regard, the things we will see develop in these days and months leading up
to the November election and beyond can be of profound significance. And
in the America and the world vs Israel struggle, we can find little reassurance
that anything good can come forth.
America
has entered a most dangerous time.
