Rank Hypocrisy

"White House Doubles Down on Pushing for Netanyahu's Removal as Israel Approves Rafah Military Operation." CBN

What was that about not interfering in the affairs of sovereign foreign nations? It seems that only applies to Russia supposedly interfering in US politics. America is sinking into the morass of moral rot. God bless America? I'm not so sure.

It is just too bad that Netanyahu and the government of Israel failed to see the doubling dealing of Biden from way back (when he gave billions to Iran). Israel should have been prepared for no support from America, and not become dependent on American arms and military equipment. Then Israel could have simply told Biden to mind mind his own business, and stay out of Israel's affairs.

Maybe the Lord will put Trump back in the big house.

Trump supporting Israel will get the world to hating Israel even more so this could help further along end times events.



Their not stupid, they know the democrats are pushing hate towards Israel

Maybe the Mossad will hack in to our election computers and rig up a win for Trump which would help get them more support.

A bit late for that. Israel has been dependent on US help for decades. Israel has developed a lot of its own weapons and has probably the best military in the world for its size. Biden has to be real careful that he does not paint Israel into a corner. Israel has nukes. If they face real threat to their existence, they might just use them.

Putin has already promised to nuke Washington DC if matters get out of hand. So another one from Israel should complete the job.

They have what I think they refer to as the Samson Option which is if they think they are about to be defeated they will light up the entire middle east with nukes and everyone dies.

That of course is not going to happen since the Lord is preserving Israel and will not allow them to be defeated.

Events are coming to pass to fulfill Scripture.
The woman, the harlot, the whore is about to be judged.
The US is that woman.

Nah. Putin knows that Washington is his best asset at the moment. Netanyahu, on the other hand............

There are number of theories about the Harlot. Why the USA? I've heard an former Muslim say that it is Mecca, others say Rome.

I am inclined to agree. And I think it the threat of nukes that has preserved Israel up until now. The last major attack on Israel was in 1973. Israel gained a nuclear weapon (apparently) in the late 1960's. There is evidence to suggest that they conducted a test in 1979. And this is why Iran is desperate to produce nukes and Israel is determined to stop them - and anyone else in the region.

Look at all that is said in Scripture including the Daughter of Babylon that is often referred to simply as Babylon.
Hinder most?last great empire.
Great seaport
Worlds merchants have become rich because we are the world's greatest consumer of goods.
Forces our will on all the world.
Greatest military.
I could go on, and on.
What present day empire/nation best fits?

what would that have meant to the people of the first century?

It was a future kingdom. John was speaking of end time events, not the first century.

I think when Jerusalem was destroyed many realized to whom God was referring.

Which on is Net and which one is Yahu?

the letter was sent to those in the first century. why?

Who would he sent it to?
All the New testament was recorded in the first century and sent to believers in the first century.
While some were dealing with first century issues and events and this gives us instructions on how to deal with them today if and when they arise.
There are many verses that deal with future events and end time events and make that clear.
That is why it is so important to know how to study and to study with much prayer and a sincere desire to know the truth.
Many people approach Scripture searching for Scripture to support what they believe and often give private interpretation to verses and words to do just that,
We must be able to set aside what we THINK we know, what we believe, what we have been taught and allow the Scripture to teach the truth.
This can be more difficult for some of us that others, but I believe all can understand and know if we sincerely desire to know, spend much time in prayer, put aside what we believe and think we knpw and allow thw Scripture to teach us.

I agree

This belief about supporting Israel in our current time comes from dispensationalism, which is Only about 200 years old. It became popular in the late 19th century in America. So you have to ask yourself do you believe that God hid this interpretation from his people for around 1,800 years? Because before then most Christian’s believed that these events happened during the Reign of Nero.

Many truths of God's word were lost or suppressed up until the Reformation. Restoration of a number of truths has been progressive. For example, Martin Luther did not practice baptism by immersion, but he did remove the restriction on marriage for priests.

Did God hide these truths or were they there in His word all the time? The nation of Israel did not cease to exist in Nero's time. The diaspora was foretold in God's word, the consequence of Israel's rebellion. What could be worse than rejecting the Messiah? It was not just while Jesus was here. Israel hounded and persecuted the church relentlessly. Rome destroyed Israel while God looked on, not helping at all. The Roman general Titus reportedly refused to accept a wreath of victory, as there is “no merit in vanquishing people forsaken by their own God.”

There are many prophecies that can only be fulfilled with a restored nation of Israel. I do not say that Jews are saved automatically, far from it. They still mostly reject the true Messiah and they pay a price. However, God's promise remains and the fulfillment began in 1948.

I'm English and I was born as the British empire began to crumble post WW2. Britain threw Israel to the wolves even before there was a restored nation. There is nothing great about Britain now. America has been transformed over the same period of time. Britain was destroyed by two world wars, America was greatly enriched. America has been a staunch supporter of Israel while Britain chose to pander to the Middle East instead. I do not believe that this is coincidental. America herself has been slowly turning her back on God since the 60's. The moral rot has well and truly set in. The consequences are obvious. If America deserts Israel, then that will be the end of America as a great power, just as Britain's greatness is merely a memory in history books. Even that memory is being torn down by those who insist on judging societies of the past by the hypocritical standards of today.

From a purely natural point of view, Israel is the only remotely democratic nation in the Middle East. On that basis alone she is worth supporting. She is the only nation in the region where Jews and Muslims live together in relative harmony. People seem to forget that 25% of Israel's population is Arab and most of those are Muslim.
