America's Contribution to Armageddon
y Terry James
I caught the
tail-end of a former general saying on FOX News, I paraphrase, "This
administration is complicit in prepping the way for World War Three..."
Such a statement
from a top military commander who is recently retired grabs one's attention as
few others pontificating on geopolitics can.
The retired
officer --perhaps one forced from service by this president, I can't say
because I don't know the circumstance of his leaving the U.S. military-- went
on to talk about the upheaval in most all of the Middle East caused by American
withdrawal in so many key areas of the region. The vacuum created, the general
was saying, is setting up the world for a war of unimaginable scope.
Particularly,
he was commenting on the growing threats and actions between Saudi Arabia and
Iran, which has flared following Saudi's execution of a high profile Shiite
cleric and a number of others.
Iran's
response was the takeover of the Saudi embassy building and the looting and
ransacking of its contents. The reaction on both sides continues to escalate,
dividing Islamic nation from Islamic nation along Shiite/Sunni religious lines,
and threatening a war that could spread into a global conflagration, according
to the general and other pundits.
President
Obama has come under consistent criticism from military officers who have
either resigned because of differences with the administration's way of
handling military involvement around the world, or who have been forced out
because of conflict with advice offered the president on military matters.
Those
retired or resigned officers who continue to criticize Obama's use of military,
and his dealings with America's and Israel's destruction-vowed enemies, point
to the danger to the nation --and the world-- in the administration's actions,
paving the road for Iran
This, they
say, is insanity --giving the very Islamists who want to bring on their version
of Armageddon the capability to do so through acquiescence to Iran's demands on
nuclear development and their demand that sanctions be lifted, and access given
to $150 billion as part of the lifting of those sanctions.
The protest
of America's military experts seems to make no difference whatsoever, any more
than did the advice the generals gave in warning the president against first
telegraphing the removal of American forces from Iraq, then in actually
removing those forces.
Such action
was all but unprecedented in modern, American, military strategy. The result
has been, and continues to be --as predicted by the generals-- a power vacuum
that is in the process of igniting the whole region in a conflict that is
almost certainly unstoppable.
As written
about before in this column, Israel remains strangely silent as all of the Arab
and Iranian states around the tiny Jewish state begin to burn like a grass fire
surrounding a log cabin.
But Israel
is no such inanimate, ordinary spectator. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and the IDF know that Israel is the actual target when these wild men
--as the Bible terms them-- finally zero in on their most hated enemy. Israel's
trigger finger is on the ultimate weapon and will pull that trigger to defend
itself.
Thus there
is a cry for peace and safety by the likes of American Secretary of State John
Kerry. It is really, however, a demand that Israel be disarmed and
marginalized. This is so Kerry's new friends, the Iranian Mullahs, can have
their way, bringing, he and the rest of the world's diplomatic fools believe,
peace at last.
It is
arguable to contend that the whole Middle East region would have been far
better off if America had never gotten involved there. This is something that
is said time and time again by those who want to blame George W. Bush and his
father for committing troops to the region in two military actions. This is, at
least in part, a mistaken contention, however.
The Lord,
Himself --it is obvious to students of history, when combined with study of
Bible prophecy-- determined that the United States would be a major part in the
founding of modern Israel and a major physical agent of Israel's protection.
The current
American president and his ideological, leftist bedfellows display the
reprobate thinking that comes from anti-God rebellion as forewarned in chapter
one of Romans. A prime example of this upside-down lunacy is on display when
thinking on the situation in the president's dealings with both the nation of
Iran and with the American people.
In the
matter of Iran, Mr. Obama and his ilk indicate they think it is just fine to
arm the Armageddon-planning Mullahs with nukes. This, despite the fact these
madmen have stated time after time they plan to destroy the great Satan, and
the little Satan (America and Israel).
At the same
time, the president and his leftist, political associates indicate they think
it will make America safe by disarming American citizens by the threatened
executive action on so-called "gun control."
The Iranian
Mullahs can be trusted with nuclear weapons and their delivery systems that can
destroy
Such
insanity almost certainly is in the process of making our nation culpable in
helping bring on man's final war.
Thankfully,
all of this means, as always, that Christ is about to call His church --all
born-again believers-- to the safe-shelter of their Heavenly home.
It is
imperative, therefore, that all who belong to Jesus Christ determine to lift
that name that is above every other. Thus, so that many who are lost will be
drawn to the Lord. He is the only hope for those who are heading into the worst
time in all of human history.
Are you struggling with a big
decision or wondering how your eternal future will play out?
Why not talk to the God of the
universe and let Him work in your behalf?
He says, “I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will
counsel you with my eye upon you" (Psalm 32:8).
Ask God to show you what to do.
Pray the following prayer:
“Heavenly
Father,
I
admit that I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You. I now want to
turn away from my past sinful life and begin a new life with You.
Please
forgive me. I now receive your Son, Jesus Christ as my Savior, my Master and my
Lord. I believe and confess that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and
rose from the dead.
I
want to receive all that Jesus Christ has provided for me as my Savior. Your
Word says, ‘Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved’ (Romans 10:13).
I
believe and confess that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and
no man comes unto the Father, but by Him.
Lord
Jesus, I pray and ask You, to come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I
thank You that you have given me eternal life, and according to Your Word, I am
born again.
Heavenly
Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit that is in me now. I
surrender my life to You. . I promise to study Your Word – the Bible.
Use
me for Your glory.
In
Jesus Name. Amen.”

lyrics
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Above all powers, above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began
Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified
Laid behind a stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose
Trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all
Above all powers, above all kings
