Tangible Help

 As we head into the season of thanksgiving and giving, I’d like to talk this week about two tangible ways you can help Israel.

First, let’s talk geopolitics.

It was reported today that U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with new Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:

“US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke with Israeli defense minister, Israel Katz, on Saturday, the Department of Defense said.

“’Secretary Austin emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety and security of the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL forces in Lebanon,’ a Pentagon readout of the call said.”

More trash from the Deep State operative Austin. For background, most of you are aware I do not consider the current U.S. government to be legitimate. A coup occurred four years ago—it looks like, INCREDIBLY, the Republican Senate is every bit the enemy that the other side is—and Lloyd Austin advocates the policies of Barack Obama and various other anti-Semites in Washington.

Austin and his handlers are concerned about UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon), yet another corrupt, anti-Israel coalition that operates from the fetid bowels of the United Nations. I hope Trump will withdraw the U.S. from this cesspool.

UNIFIL has been the worthless “peacekeeping” force in Lebanon lo these many years, standing by while Hezbollah murders Jews.

Take out the trash, Mr. President-elect!

So, though I know you are fervently praying for Israel, I would ask that in this season, you re-double your prayer efforts and ask the Lord to continue thwarting the plans of the enemy. And the enemies of Israel are numerous.

Now, and this has implications for Bible prophecy, there is still strong support for the Jewish state, even internationally. Geert Wilders of the Netherlands, Javier Milei of Argentina, and various religious organizations strongly support Israel.

So we are NOT in the season of Gog-Magog, since A) Israel does not dwell in safety and B) there is still some support for Israel.

In any case, pray very hard that the plans of the wicked will come to nothing. The evil Biden and his Regime have sinister plans for Israel over the next several weeks. They are already holding back missiles vital to Israel’s defense and offense. This despicable act will not go without judgment in the future.

Please get on your knees and implore heaven to keep every Jew in the world physically safe.

On another note, there is something else practical and tangible that you can do.

I noticed a great post this week by a dear Israeli friend of mine. He posted a photo of the interior of an Israeli supermarket. On one display (in Hebrew) was a message to customers that due to the hardships everyone is enduring at the present, they are offering some items for free! They tell people to take what you need. I do not know exactly who is subsidizing this, but the store owner is already not getting rich. Many of them are sacrificing to help out their neighbor.

Which brings me to this idea: If you are a Christian pilgrim visiting or planning to visit Israel, go into as many of these stores as you can and give a donation. Tell them you heard about this program offered by Israeli store owners and give them 100 shekels. Depending on what the dollar is doing at any given time, that’s $25 or $30. Hand them a 100-shekel bill. Sacrifice yourself. If you can only offer a widow’s mite—I’m not being facetious or snarky—please do that. If you can do more, please do that.

Let those people know that you love them and cheer loudly for them from the United States (or whatever country you are from). Thank them for sacrificing for their brothers and sisters.

Think about this: if you are planning on going on a tour in the future (I am still planning on going with Chris Quintana’s tour in the spring) ask your church to send you with some extra cash expressly for this effort. Donate as much as you can!

Thank you!

As we often say, we are living in momentous times. EXCITING times! I am overjoyed to be privileged to live in this time in history. Let’s all lean-in for the duration, to help the Apple of God’s Eye!

The Last Week is Almost Disorienting

 (Check out my Patreon page this week, as I expand on the following in some detail)

The past 10 days have been a reminder that just when we think we have things figured out, God throws us a curveball.

Just as it was in the 2016 election, most of us were feeling dread, assuming we were doomed to a Hillary Clinton presidency. Facing four or eight years being ruled by one of the evilest people in our nation’s history…well, that was just too much.

Then Donald Trump won.

Maybe we got complacent or whatever, I don’t know, but most of us were blindsided by 2020. So much has happened in four years. In the past months, we have been on a rollercoaster, hoping against hope that the clownish Kamala Harris, illegitimate to boot, would not ascend to the presidency. It was unthinkable.

Perhaps God has decided that we are Nineveh and not Sodom. Maybe that’s why Trump one.

(I want to be clear: I do not consider a political savior to be The Savior.)

Now, Trump’s Cabinet appointments are nothing short of astonishing. I won’t go into each of them, but want to focus on one, Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary. And how it touches on Bible prophecy. I found out things about him this week that I did not know and I am amazed.

Hegseth, the FOX anchor and 20-year Army veteran (and Harvard and Princeton grad, to boot), is too much for the Left. In their epic, rolling meltdown since Trump smashed Harris and the equally clownish Tim Walz, the people who have tried to destroy our country are foaming at the mouth about Hegseth. A combat veteran (two Bronze Stars), he is intimately familiar with the military. But his crime is that he is not an Establishment, warmonger Military Industrial Complex Swamp Rat.

Which makes him perfect for Defense. That rotten, soggy sewer—decimated by perverse freaks and DEI advocates—has been gutted by the criminals Obama and Biden. Remember, Obama purged the military of competent generals in 2012, replacing them with Marxists and deviants. That’s how you get photos of sexual deviants wearing uniforms.

That’s about to end.

Which brings me to an amazing thing I happened upon this week involving Hegseth.

Just as new UN Ambassador Elise Stefanik will prove to be a true friend of Israel (in stark contrast with the Anthony Blinken-type vipers), Hegseth must be the only Defense Secretary truly linked to Israel.

And here’s where it gets super interesting.

A few years ago, Hegseth was speaking to an audience in Jerusalem, talking about the move of the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. He said this:

“When you stand [in jerusalem], you cannot help but behold the miracle before you,” said America’s next defense chief. “It got me thinking about another miracle I hope all of you don’t see as too far away. …there’s no reason why the miracle of the reestablishment of the Temple on the Temple Mount is not possible. I don’t know how it would happen, you don’t know how it would happen, but I know that it could happen, that’s all I know.”

“He went on to stress that in order to reach the goal, people, believers, both Jews and Christians, need to understand that ‘facts and activities on the ground truly matter.’ To that end, he encouraged those who support Israel to visited the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria and to promote Israeli sovereignty there.”

He also, incredibly, shot down talk of a Palestinian state!

Am I dreaming??

An American Defense Secretary talking like this? It’s unprecedented. A defense chief with an actual biblical worldview?

Perhaps we are living in the period in history in which the Temple will be rebuilt.

Whatever, the events of this week and public remarks by a U.S. cabinet member are seismic shifts in geopolitics.

Hold on!
