Never Quit
One thing that is apparent from Trump’s first weeks back in office: the enemy never takes a minute off. As I write this, the ridiculous “Pentagon leak scandal” is ramping up after battle plans made their way to a reporter for the Atlantic. In reality it’s a minor issue, but the Left acts like a military coup just took place. With Chuck Schumer hunched over a batch of papers in the background, one odious Democrat congressman read from prepared remarks and claimed this was the worst leak he’d ever seen.
There must be a special level in hell for people that knowingly lie 24 hours a day.
It’s even worse in Israel, if possible. David Ben Gurion might have declared statehood in 1948, but he also allowed leftists to rule the country from within. That’s why they are still controlling the media, judiciary, and now part of the military. It is, in my view, a satanic attempt to stop men like Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu from advancing their countries’ interests.
It is literally painful to watch the damage done by covert operatives that constantly snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The way I see it (for what that’s worth), there are only a relative handful of smart people making decisions. It might be time to bring in someone from the outside to make decisions. I saw this wise comment this week from Dumisani Washington, a pro-Israel Christian that fully understands the issues:
“The gravest mistake that American Christian organizations and churches are making where Israel’s war against Hamas (al-Qaeda, etc.) is concerned is not explaining that this is a religious, spiritual war. Hamas wants to kill all Israelis (Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druze) and obliterate the Jewish State enroute to establishing an Islamic caliphate. They do not care about a two-state solution or any type of coexistence. Further, the same ideology at work in Hamas is what fuels the Islamists in our own country. In other words, we’re next.”
I’m not sure at all that Trump understands the existential threat from Islam. He initially wants to negotiate with Iran about their nuclear program. Then again, it might be a feint. At this minute, American aircraft carriers are in the Indian Ocean, the perfect striking position to take out Iran. This would also no doubt include the Israelis. Are we about to see what we have hoped to see for 20 years? No American president had the courage to remove this evil threat.
For our part, we have a flood of traitors in government. And media. They literally hate our country. And Israel has almost the exact same situation. This week a Jerusalem Post editorial lambasted the government for initiating judicial reform (Israel’s judiciary is awash with leftists, like ours, that want to influence policy via their activism). I remember a time when the Post was led by men like David Bar Illan and Conrad Black. Now, apparently, the Post (like the Times of Israel) prefers to undermine conservative prime ministers.
And back to Washington’s astute comment. I have noticed for a while that some pro-Israel Christian organizations are not strong enough in their opposition to evangelical leaders and organizations that in reality are enemies of Israel. Individuals like Russell Moore, Shane Claiborne, and organizations like the Telos Group…they don’t like Israel, or at least they don’t have a biblical worldview when it comes to Israel. Moore, a former leader in the SBC (now, tragically, managing editor of Christianity Today), while writing what appeared to be a supportive column on October 7, 2023 (I thought it strange his column was ready to publish the very day of the Hamas invasion), tipped his hand in the second paragraph that he does not consider modern Israel a link to the ancient prophecies of the ingathering of the exiles.
“Some might assume that evangelical Protestants automatically support Israel based on eschatological views that cast the modern state of Israel in some role in biblical prophecy. For some, this is indeed the case. Many of us, though, don’t share those beliefs. We believe the promises of God are fulfilled in Christ, not in the 1948 Israeli Declaration of Independence. Many of us are quite willing to call out Israel when we believe it is acting wrongly. We don’t believe the Israeli Knesset is somehow inerrant or infallible.”
There you have it. What a disgusting and smug statement. Moore says it right there: he does not see Israel as anything special biblically. This man spent a decade bringing in Reformed theology into the Southern Baptist Convention. He is also a political operative that supports leftist models. He is part of the opposition that never quits.
We have many, many enemies. We are living in momentous, tumultuous times. We must continue to pray hard and be vigilant. Educate ourselves.
They never quit.
Neither do we.
