It is 2,000 B.C. Again - Jim Fletcher - http://www.raptureready.com/rap15.html
The few evangelical Christian leaders, nationally, who still stand strong with Israel are warning that anti-Semitism has risen to dangerous levels all across the globe. In particular, John Hagee is often heard to say that, "It's 1938 again," in reference to the acceleration of hate crimes against Jews in Europe, in the lead-up to World War 2.
I would argue, however, that anti-Semitism has always been at dangerous levels, going back to the dawn of the Jewish people, in the time of Abraham. Global communications makes it appear in our day that things are escalating, but remember that Jew-hatred has appeared in every era.
What is shocking to us now is the sheer number of global leaders that stand for it.
Caroline Glick, writing in this week's Jerusalem Post, made a bold (but wholly accurate) statement:
"U.S. President Barack Obama is mainstreaming anti-Semitism in America.
"This week, apropos of seemingly nothing, in an interview with Mathew Yglesias from the Vox.com website, Obama was asked about terrorism. In his answer the president said the terrorism threat is overrated. And that was far from the most disturbing statement he made.
"Moving from the general to the specific, Obama referred to the jihadists who committed last month's massacres in Paris as 'a bunch of violent vicious zealots," who "randomly shot a bunch of folks in a deli in Paris.'"
Obama's loathing of Israel is well known; I believe he is also an anti-Semite, as are certain evangelical leaders in the United States who advocate for the Palestinians. It is incredible to most of us that we live in a time in which the American president is an enemy of Israel. Frankly, didn't we expect this after the Rapture?
And yet, the targeting of Jews around the globe is having the effect of driving Jews toward their homeland. In fact, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is openly saying that very thing, telling European Jews that the attacks will continue and even get worse...and that Israel is their home.
Is this not a remarkable fulfillment of prophecy?
Hear the prophet, Jeremiah:
"Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
"They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
"Hear the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock."
The famous "Return" of the Jewish exiles, from the Roman expulsion in the second century, has been a phased event, I'd say, beginning in the 1880s and continuing to this moment.
This is more remarkable because it is being driven in part by a hostile U.S. political gang/cabal/regime that is also mainstreaming jihad and the drive for shariah law.
That's just the way it is. If it walks like a gigantic duck and quacks like a gigantic duck, it's a gigantic duck.
And it's time for the rest of us to duck.
This morning, I open my computer to see that a synagogue in Copenhagen has been attacked; a security guard was murdered by a terrorist, but prevented the latter from entering the building, where 80 worshippers attended.
Now, the Danish government is contradicting Netanyahu, saying they have the situation under control. If I were a Jew living in Europe, I'd immigrate to Israel...where I'd be safe.
Meanwhile, Obama & Team continue to aggressively peddle the delusion that, "What Jihadist Terror War? What, me Worry?"
I want to note something that I think is extraordinary, because I think it gives us a clue of what we're dealing with here in the U.S. Many of us who study Bible prophecy are shocked at the rapid advances being made by our enemies, but it's important to understand the language and concepts they use when appealing to the masses. Let me say something clearly:
Obama's brand of delusional thinking (although he is not inept or stupid) and disinformation is identical to that of the evangelical leaders in this country who are helping him further his agenda. This ranges from Rick Warren's "civil forum" of 2008, in which he (I believe purposely) mainstreamed candidate Obama to a vast evangelical audience-to the "non-violent" evangelical leaders who call themselves "peacemakers."
So notice what Obama said after Hosni Mubarak was forced-out in Egypt, in 2011:
"Egyptians have inspired us, and they've done so by putting the lie to the idea that justice is best gained through violence. For in Egypt, it was the moral force of nonviolence...that bent the arc of history toward justice once more."
Only a dupe or a totalitarian criminal would make such a statement, given the amount of information available to an American president.
Obama knew that Mubarak, while not a democratic leader, was still infinitely more desirable than the Muslim Brotherhood.
Yet, here is the specific point I want to make: Obama's language about "the moral force of nonviolence" is identical to language used by a growing number of evangelical leaders (most of whom are in the "leadership" conduit/orbit of Catalyst conferences).
The problem is, their "nonviolent" approach is giving the green light to jihadists around the world to rape, murder, and pillage. To this they would protest loudly, of course, but one has only to pay attention to their methods and then see the global jihad advancing everywhere. Western weakness just might be the death of us all.
Look, we live in a fallen world, and even those on the right and the left would acknowledge it is often a brutal world. What we disagree on is how to make it tolerable.
It is a fact of life that from the time the Israelis captured the West Bank in 1967, until the delusion of Oslo appeared in 1991, fewer Jews in Israel were murdered by Palestinian jihadists, and global jihad terror was dramatically less than it is now.
Why? Primarily because the Israel Defense Forces wouldn't permit the barbarians to operate. In other words, all of us in the West enjoyed peace through strength.
Not the fairy tale world of the "nonviolent" peaceniks who now have helped make the world a much more dangerous place.
For example, the Holy Land Trust's Sami Awad...he of the "nonviolent" method. Why has he not roundly condemned Hamas and Islamic Jihad in his own country? By parroting the PLO line in American churches, Awad has also helped soften American resolve. Do the math; the more American Christians who are convinced of the "nonviolent" model, the less American Christians are remaining vigilant.
Which brings us back around to the original theme this week: yes, global anti-Semitism is on the rise. But the Bible tells us that Israel and the Jewish people will survive and endure.
Sadly for the rest of us, the rotten fruit of Jew-hatred down through the ages is about to culminate in the pouring-out of God's wrath on the nations for the way they have treated His people.
It's 2,000 B.C. again. And 1,000 B.C. again. And A.D. 1 again. And A.D. 1,000 again. And 1938 again.
And A.D. 2015 now.
