Wednesday, September 11, will certainly be a day of reflection for the United States. The major US TV networks will be offering programming all day long to mark the anniversary. (President Bush will be busy; below is his schedule for that day).
As the United States prepares for the 9-11 anniversary event, we are in great expectation of President Bush's planned address on Iraq to the UN General Assembly Thursday morning in New York. Yesterday five members of his administration hit the Sunday news talks shows to explain the Bush position pertaining to Iraq.
On Thursday President Bush will be making a courageous stand on Iraq. In Iraq we have a madman with a barbaric history that will be fully exposed to the world community. This man has a diabolic plan, but the world community has been saying to leave him alone.
Saddam is the person who is establishing a Jerusalem Army to come against Israel. He is the one who has been helping the Palestinians against Israel. He has slaughtered large numbers of his own people and even members of his own family. He has been developing weapons of mass destruction to use on Israel, the United States, and others of his enemies in the world.
The world community is going to hear the facts on Saddam Hussein; how they vote will say a lot about the condition of our world's leaders. The Arab nations stated last week they are against the potential attack by the US on Iraq and that if it happened it would open the "gates of h-ll."
Do you think this position has anything to do with Israel? Absolutely! This is the same group who was part of the ally base for Desert Storm in 1990. They refuse to join the US this time around because they want the pressure exerted on Israel, not Saddam. Ironically, Saddam is a greater threat and menace today than he was in 1990-even, if history is not to be ignored, to his own Arab neighbors.
Many world leaders, especially the leaders of the larger nations, have stated their disapproval of the US plan to eliminate Saddam Hussein. Will Bush's UN address change anything? It is doubtful, but it will be a formal public address on one of the most evil, if not the most evil, man in the world today. Our Lord has provided a situation where the world is going to hear the case against Saddam and see their position publicly.
This situation reminds me of the middle of last year when in 120 days most nations of the world established their position on God's covenant land in. These nations' positions were spoken through the UN, the EU, the Arab League, or directly for themselves, as in the case of Russia, China, France and a few others. Even the Vatican, the World Council of Churches, and the National Council of Churches unfortunately called on Israel to leave the occupied [disputed] land.
The attention Saddam Hussein is receiving is truly unbelievable. It is also becoming a very divisive factor for the world community. It is the top news now. This will likely be a very pivotal week.
Even if the UN and the world community does not stand with the US and Britain in backing the ouster of Saddam Hussein, it appears President Bush and Prime Minister Tony Blair will go at it alone.
Islam
There is a spiritual war going on in Israel and throughout the world. The radical fundamentalist Muslims have declared war on the Christians and Jews throughout the world. Yes, there are some very nice Muslim people, but we are in a war with the bad element of Islam and they are becoming more radical and vile every day. They are out to destroy us and to dominate the world in the name of Islam.
The demons of darkness are tormenting the world with their diabolic plan. You can sense it increasing here in Israel and in the United States. Satan knows his time is short, and he is on a path of destruction. His agents, Saddam Hussein, Yassir Arafat and Osama bin Laden, are all targeted by the United States.
As a 30-year veteran of the Defense Department told me last month this is a war we weren't trained for. Our previous conventional war training has a defined enemy in defined borders. This enemy can be on your street, in your town, in your country and only a few can create outright havoc. These people are possessed; we can't even begin to comprehend their thinking or ways because they are totally contrary to our way of thinking. They are liars, they are deceivers, and they are a total manifestation of evil. We can hear their nonsense daily on TV.
America is at war
As we watch attentively the situation with Iraq, we are also watching the forces of darkness in the United States. We have heard before from President Bush that we are good and they [the terrorists] are bad. Yes, the terrorists are evil, but so is a nation who has allowed 40 million children to be eliminated in their mothers' wombs. We are watching the aggressive gay community push their agenda on our schools, government, and communities. The name of Jesus Christ is not accepted in some schools, and, except as a swear word, is mentioned less and less on TV and radio. Many in the church have lost their fear of the Lord. We are also living in the time when good is called bad and bad is called good. Christians are also being persecuted for their belief in Biblical values; we are called intolerant to perverse lifestyles. The American media has their agenda and continues to manipulate public opinion. So what does the Lord have planned for America? We will likely see the darkness get darker and the light brighter and more profound. As Christians, we must continue to look to our only hope, which is in Jesus Christ. He will be with us every step of the way and wants to work through fully yielded vessels. He has exciting and mighty plans and He is looking for those to participate with Him. It is not about us and our agenda; it is all about His plan! It is all about Him and His redemptive plan for our times!
Thoughts from Israel
I have been absorbing a lot in Israel since our arrival two weeks ago. I will have more on my observations later this week. I have experienced the heightened security now prevalent in Israel. We have also visited with many people as we have traveled around Israel. Israelis are resolute people. They are adapting well in a very trying time. They have experienced many tough times in their history since their becoming a nation in 1948. They have also lived through the horror of suicide bombings since the beginning of Madrid. Their neighborhood has become much tougher over the eleven years.
Late last week there was a truck stopped carrying 1400 pounds of explosives that was designed to mar the Rosh Hashana celebration here in Israel.
The Jerusalem Post stated today that the Israeli Security forces arrested twenty Palestinians, including senior members of the Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, in a number of operations in the West Band and Gaza since Friday. As usual, a very high percentage of these events are averted. Praise the Lord!
Now Israel is waiting in great expectation of what is ahead with Iraq, Syria, and the Palestinians. Israel's neighbors want their destruction; however, the Bible states it will be the enemies of Israel who will be ultimately destroyed.
Today the Sydney Morning Herald reported that Iraq is pointing their 20 mobile scuds (and other weapons) at Israel in an anticipation of a US attack. The mobile launchers are being deployed in the western deserts of Iraq.
Please continue to pray for President Bush, his family and his staff's protection, and that he seeks the Lord's perfect will and follow it.
