One that calls for a response

Rep. Louie Gohmert [R-Texas] and 46 co-sponsors introduced House Resolution 1553; it “condemns the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its threats of ‘annihilating’ the United States and the State of Israel, for its continued support of international terrorism, and for its incitement of genocide of the Israeli people.”

It “supports using all means of persuading the Government of Iran to stop building and acquiring nuclear weapons” and pledges that the U.S. will ensure that Israel “continues to receive critical economic and military assistance, including missile defense capabilities, needed to address the threat of Iran.”

In addition, it “expresses support for Israel’s right to use all means necessary to confront and eliminate nuclear threats posed by Iran, defend Israeli sovereignty, and protect the lives and safety of the Israeli people, including the use of military force if no other peaceful solution can be found within a reasonable time.”

God says: I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest of them were killed with the sword that came out of the mouth of the rider on the white horse.” [Revelation 19:11-21].

The Jerusalem Connection says: War with the Muslim world is inevitable. It is a fact of the prophetic future. It’s just a matter of time. Islam refuses to tolerate the existence of non-Muslims. They must convert or die. But the day is coming when Yahweh and his Messiah will tolerate no opposition. Those opposing him will be struck down and ruled with an iron scepter. Resolution 1553 signed by one-third of the House Republicans is merely a warning shot across the bow of Islam. And we will either be on God’s side in this battle or we will be destroyed. As we approach the elections of 2010 and 2012 we need to pray as we have been told to pray – that those in authority over us “may be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth.” And if they refuse and reject the truth, that God would refuse and reject them. We can no longer live under Godless, deceitful and corrupt leaders. O Yahweh, have mercy on your people, in Jesus name, AMEN.
