America's Contribution to Armageddon - Terry James - http://www.raptureready.com/rap16.html
I caught the tail-end of a former general saying on FOX News, I paraphrase, "This administration is complicit in prepping the way for World War Three..."
Such a statement from a top military commander who is recently retired grabs one's attention as few others pontificating on geopolitics can. The retired officer --perhaps one forced from service by this president, I can't say because I don't know the circumstance of his leaving the U.S. military-- went on to talk about the upheaval in most all of the Middle East caused by American withdrawal in so many key areas of the region. The vacuum created, the general was saying, is setting up the world for a war of unimaginable scope.
Particularly, he was commenting on the growing threats and actions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, which has flared following Saudi's execution of a high profile Shiite cleric and a number of others.
Iran's response was the takeover of the Saudi embassy building and the looting and ransacking of its contents. The reaction on both sides continues to escalate, dividing Islamic nation from Islamic nation along Shiite/Sunni religious lines, and threatening a war that could spread into a global conflagration, according to the general and other pundits.
President Obama has come under consistent criticism from military officers who have either resigned because of differences with the administration's way of handling military involvement around the world, or who have been forced out because of conflict with advice offered the president on military matters.
Those retired or resigned officers who continue to criticize Obama's use of military, and his dealings with America's and Israel's destruction-vowed enemies, point to the danger to the nation --and the world-- in the administration's actions, paving the road for Iran to build a nuclear force.
This, they say, is insanity --giving the very Islamists who want to bring on their version of Armageddon the capability to do so through acquiescence to Iran's demands on nuclear development and their demand that sanctions be lifted, and access given to $150 billion as part of the lifting of those sanctions.
The protest of America's military experts seems to make no difference whatsoever, any more than did the advice the generals gave in warning the president against first telegraphing the removal of American forces from Iraq, then in actually removing those forces. Such action was all but unprecedented in modern, American, military strategy. The result has been, and continues to be --as predicted by the generals-- a power vacuum that is in the process of igniting the whole region in a conflict that is almost certainly unstoppable.
As written about before in this column, Israel remains strangely silent as all of the Arab and Iranian states around the tiny Jewish state begin to burn like a grass fire surrounding a log cabin. But Israel is no such inanimate, ordinary spectator. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the IDF know that Israel is the actual target when these wild men --as the Bible terms them-- finally zero in on their most hated enemy. Israel's trigger finger is on the ultimate weapon and will pull that trigger to defend itself.
Thus there is a cry for peace and safety by the likes of American Secretary of State John Kerry. It is really, however, a demand that Israel be disarmed and marginalized. This is so Kerry's new friends, the Iranian Mullahs, can have their way, bringing, he and the rest of the world's diplomatic fools believe, peace at last.
It is arguable to contend that the whole Middle East region would have been far better off if America had never gotten involved there. This is something that is said time and time again by those who want to blame George W. Bush and his father for committing troops to the region in two military actions. This is, at least in part, a mistaken contention, however. The Lord, Himself --it is obvious to students of history, when combined with study of Bible prophecy-- determined that the United States would be a major part in the founding of modern Israel and a major physical agent of Israel's protection.
The current American president and his ideological, leftist bedfellows display the reprobate thinking that comes from anti-God rebellion as forewarned in chapter one of Romans. A prime example of this upside-down lunacy is on display when thinking on the situation in the president's dealings with both the nation of Iran and with the American people.
In the matter of Iran, Mr. Obama and his ilk indicate they think it is just fine to arm the Armageddon-planning Mullahs with nukes. This, despite the fact these madmen have stated time after time they plan to destroy the great Satan, and the little Satan (America and Israel). At the same time, the president and his leftist, political associates indicate they think it will make America safe by disarming American citizens by the threatened executive action on so-called "gun control." The Iranian Mullahs can be trusted with nuclear weapons and their delivery systems that can destroy the world, but the American gun-owner can't be trusted to have a Second Amendment-guaranteed right to own and bear arms.
Such insanity almost certainly is in the process of making our nation culpable in helping bring on man's final war.
Thankfully, all of this means, as always, that Christ is about to call His church --all born-again believers-- to the safe-shelter of their Heavenly home.
It is imperative, therefore, that all who belong to Jesus Christ determine to lift that name that is above every other. Thus, so that many who are lost will be drawn to the Lord. He is the only hope for those who are heading into the worst time in all of human history.
