One that calls for a response

Former New York (Jewish) Mayor Ed Koch said: “I weep today because my president, Barack Obama, in a few weeks has changed the relationship between the US and Israel from that of closest of allies to one in which there is an absence of trust.”…our closest ally… has been demeaned and slandered, held responsible …for our problems in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.” Ed Koch says he suspects the plan is “to so weaken the resolve of the of the Jewish state and its leaders so that it will be much easier to impose on Israel an American plan to resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict, leaving Israel’s needs for security and defensible borders in the lurch.”

God says: “Because they lead my people astray, ‘Peace, Peace’ they say, when there is no peace.” … “I lift my hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever, when I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries and repay those who hate me. I will make my arrows drunk with blood, while my sword devours flesh: the blood of the slain and the captives, the heads of the enemy leaders. “Rejoice, O nations, with his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will take vengeance on his enemies and make atonement for his land and people.” (Ezekiel 13:10; Deuteronomy 32:40-43).

The Jerusalem Connection says: To think that our leaders refuse to consult much less implement the clear declarations of Holy Scripture regarding Israel, is to place this nation in extreme peril. In the last analysis our only hope is to follow Jesus’ command, “Be always on the watch and earnestly pray that you may have the power to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36).
