“…Friday’s child is loving & giving…”
“…swing on a star, carry moonbeams home in a jar, and be better off than you are…or would you rather be a….”
I just finished listening to an assessment of what’s really going on within the war between hamas and Israel, and it’s just as shocking to me as it was to witness how many people claiming to be Americans came out to side with Israel’s sworn enemy, and demonstrating such hatred towards Israel that it boggled my mind.
How and why is that happening?! Yet, I need to remember that most of us, Americans included, have grown up with very little knowledge of God’s word which teaches us all about Biblical Israel, as well as we all have extremely little knowledge of just who Jesus of Nazareth was/is, and why we who believe in Him are called by His title of “Christ”–that’s Greek of course, but the New Testament was written in Greek
So, we, who belong to Jesus, go by the wonderful name of “Christian”. Yet, not enough Christians even have a viable, working knowledge of God’s written word, let alone the actual Word of God, which is Jesus Christ.
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” [Isaiah 9:6 AKJV]
Yet, we, as Americans, have an inherent obligation to uphold the freedoms we have been guaranteed tohav e and to hold within our own constitution. We are told that we have the unalienable right to FREEDOM OF SPEECH. So, sure, it means those who hate Israel can say so outloud if they wish.
It also means that they can NOT try to shut down the free speech of those who support, if not love, Israel, so who support them. Especially support them in their ongoing struggles to keep others, such as adherents of hamas, from doing them harm, both physical harm, as well as emotional harm with their constant words, most of which are downright lies, spoken against them.
Certainly, freedom of speech means people can abuse others by lying about them, but, since that’s so, those who know the Truth need to speak it out far more loudly in order to rebuff the lies. Right? Of course!!
Yet, why does it seem as though the Truth whispers, while the liars seem to be shouting their lies from the rooftops, and from every publication, radio and tv station known to mankind these days? It’s atrocious!
When the size of those crowds of hamas supporters, from around the world, were shown on tv screens, I was not only shocked, but sickened! How in the world, I wondered, can so many people be in support of the murderers, and against the family members of those who were so brutally murdered?! It’s like having a judge and jury all made up of the family members of each murderer in this case–it’s ridiculous!
{I want to assure everyone right now that, should much harm come to Israel due to the medling by the dems in charge of our govt. right now, God Almighty still has this lovingly delivered to them, yet it’s a firm warning for you}:
” 12 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
“…3 and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed…” {Genesis 12:1-3 AKJV}
The thing is–God never rescinded what He said about that to Abraham. Therefore, I’m thinking that it’s still in effect. How else can I rationally, and logically explain why seemingly sane people from around the world could side with the murderers against those they’ve killed, whose kin are now attempting to eradicate those responsible? As well as to destroy their horrid cashes of arms that they’ve planned to use to kill even more Israeli men, women and children?! People who have always sought to live peaceably with/next door to those who want to go on hating them forevermore. It’s astounding
Is their undying hatred for the Jews based on lust for the land the Jewish people live on? Could that seemingly endless supply of animousity against the Israelis be based on jealousy because God chose the Jewish people for His very own? [Even though most of us were never chosen by God to be among His people, yet He still loves all of us.] As God has said about the Jewish people, they are “the apple” of His eye, so woe to those who harm them.
This time of the year is so special to all of us. It’s harvest time here, in the northern hemisphere, with the days and nights growing more steadily frosty with each passing week. It’s our time to give Thanks to God for His harvest, no matter how bountiful or meager. It’s His gift to us all, so if it’s meager we should stop to ask “Why?”, since our behavior is behind most of His gifts to us.
The constant struggle we witness taking place all around us, especially these days, is not merely a matter of “good vs. bad”. Instead, it’s the ongoing war between “Good/God vs. Evil”. So, if our thoughts and behaviors reflect more of the “Evil” we are capable of, rather than the “Good/God” side of our very nature, then perhaps our harvest will be far more meager than it could have been. That’s actually For Our Own SAKES.
Because, as the Lord Himself told us all through His own disciples, who wrote down all that God wished to be included in His written word to us all:
“6 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” {John 3:16 AKJV}
Don’t look on what I said as some kind of nagging, overbearing guilt trip I’m trying to send you on. Just look at it as coming from someone who cares about you and wishes to let you know what God has said, both about how He loves Israel, and how He loves ALL of us. As well as how He views the sins we commit, not the least of which is lying[!], which brings immeasurable harm to us all in more than just one or two ways. Also, hatred is a soul-killer. Love leads to forgiveness, which together lead to a good life, and to healthy minds. So….
