Things are becoming increasingly concerning for the whole world. As of this writing Israel and Iran are pummeling one another and the damage to both countries is colossal. Missiles are lighting up the night skies of the whole Middle East and as a Christian, I have a couple of things to try and remind my Christian brothers and sisters, lest we allow our thoughts to stray into places we have to avoid.
I guess one of the preeminent concepts our Savior teaches us is that we take no pleasure in the misfortune of others, no matter how strongly we might feel that some of them deserve such. Our Christian obligation in these troubled times is to pray for peace. To pray for God’s grace to find those who suffer. It’s tempting to allow our human nature to overcome our spiritual nature in this situation and adopt the position that some of those people had it coming, but by doing so we put ourselves in a judgement seat which does rightfully not belong to us. What we are witnessing happening in the Middle East what with Israel getting bombed is a tragedy and we must resist the temptation to find satisfaction in the destruction that is upon them. Those who follow my posts will probably think this is an about face from my normal thoughts on the behavior of Israel, and I guess to be honest it is a departure from things I usually say, but it is nevertheless a spiritual stance that I believe we all must strive for.
Tel Aviv is beginning to look like the destruction of Gaza and if that is a fitting result of genocide, well, that’s for God to decide. He warns us to allow Him to take vengeance, so as Christian believers, we have to understand that whatever payback the Zionists are receiving, it is God’s will. The Iranians aren’t faring any better and we need to earnestly pray for peace over there as well. In the end, what happens to warring nations is not ours to decide. Christians do not support war, violence, and destruction. When we can honestly take the position that we do not wish for ill fortune upon anyone and pray for their relief, we can rest assured we are doing our spiritual duty with no malice for anyone.
Aside from where our spiritual responsibilities lie, it’s noteworthy to understand the naked truth that this war did not have to happen. There was no reason whatsoever for Israel to start bombing Teheran. Many justifications have been attempted, but none have succeeded in convincing the discerning mind that those attacks were necessary. We all know what’s going on and it has little to nothing to do with the likelihood that Iran was working on a nuclear weapon. Iran has had the technology and the infrastructure in place for decades to develop a nuclear bomb, so the urgency with which Netanyahu tries to convince the world was not urgent at all. The nation of Israel has long worked to establish itself as the dominant power in the Middle East. It has been stated many times by many authorities, both pro and anti-Israel, that Israel has a plan in place to create a Greater Israel, which of necessity must include land from several countries including Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and others. They have been slowly but steadily gaining this objective over the years, but the number one objective was, and is, the elimination of the Palestinian people from the land they have claimed as Israel.
As long as Iran is a powerful military nation that supports the Palestinians and opposes Israel, they are regarded as a threat – not so much a threat to Israel – but both to their plans for greater Israel as well as their unaccountable ability to murder people at will, so their leaders, especially Satan’s chief servant on earth, Benjamin Netanyahu, have dedicated themselves to the objective of getting the US to defeat Iran militarily. He has attempted to con the US and the United Nations into believing Iran was on the verge of a nuclear weapon, and this verge has lasted 20-30 years, so the passage of time itself has revealed this claim to be a lie, but he isn’t deterred. As of today, Donald Trump seems to be torn between showing his loyalty to Zionist money (don’t forget Miriam Adelson’s $100 million “campaign contribution”, nor the attendance of the richest Zionists in the world at his inauguration) thereby outright declaring his treachery to the US and our interests, or doing the right thing and avoid spilling American blood and treasure by shutting down US support for the greater Israel project.
As things now stand with Trump sending material support to Israel exactly like Biden did – and by the way, did anyone else notice the Kharma in Trump falling on the airplane steps the same as he made fun of Biden for doing? – he, Trump seems to be getting ready to get American forces into an affray that Russia and China are almost certain to engage if he does. This does not concern Netanyahu in the least. As I said before, he is Satan’s chief servant on earth today and the more death and destruction he can bring down on humanity, the more he pleases his master. He does not care at all if the casualties are American, Iranian, nor Israeli. His objective is death, and it should be painfully obvious to everyone, especially Christians, that death is his goal and as much death as possible. If the shooting were to somehow stop, Netanyahu would most likely be prosecuted, by Israel no less, for his criminal behavior an his corruption. But more devastatingly for his designs, he wouldn’t be able to kill anymore. These wars he is initiating are precisely to preserve his standing as the leader of Israel and thereby his ability to cause death.
I know it sounds hyperbolic to say this guy is only interested in death and destruction, but look at Gaza; look at Libya; look at Tel Aviv right now. He could have prevented every death, every crumbled building, but he pursued a path of wanton destruction and murder in every case. I firmly believe the Nimitz was sent to the Middle East as a sacrificial lamb for Israel to commit a false flag by sinking or destroying. Trump knows this – the Nimitz is our oldest carrier, due to be decommissioned soon, so it wouldn’t be that great of a loss materially, but there are a lot of families who would be destroyed by losing the sailors and air wing personnel if it was sunk. It wouldn’t be the first American ship attacked by our “greatest ally” either. Google the USS Liberty. Neither Netanyahu nor Trump would care one whit for the loss of 6,000 American sailors, but it would serve to provoke a bunch of unsuspecting red state barbarians to support an all-out war, because you can rest assured that it will be done in such a way as to make it look like Iran did it. Look for an Israeli submarine attack, probably with a nuclear weapon, which would, of course have the added benefit of serving as “proof” that Iran has nuclear weapons. Trump would get to be a wartime president, Netanyahu would get his wildest dream-come-true, the deaths of a bunch of servicemen with the assurance of many thousands more deaths to come!
I served on the Nimitz back when she was first put into service – I’m (what’s known in the Navy) as a plank owner of the Nimitz. I was one of those green shirt guys on the flight deck, responsible for operations and maintenance of the catapults and arresting gear. It would break my heart to see her get sunk or busted up just because servants of Satan want to get their jollies by killing a bunch of service people and starting a World War. I don’t believe that back in the day when I served that the US would have supported, much less risked American lives, to conduct a genocide. But back then presidents didn’t openly take bribes from wealthy Zionists, thereby committing themselves to the service of Satan.
As I mentioned earlier, none of this war and destruction had to happen. It is being waged because it enrages Benjamin Netanyahu that there is a sovereign nation that refuses to bow their backs to him and there is nothing he relishes more than to satisfy his master by the shedding of blood. He prefers to murder those who are powerless to fight back, but when he has the US military at his disposal, he knows he can get massive of numbers of people killed, and that is his objective. If you can’t see that Netanyahu’s game is death and destruction – anyone’s – then you’re not looking.
At the start of this post I said that as Christians we must not wish misfortune on anyone, nor take pleasure in the woes of other people, and I hold to that. Recognizing where the problems are coming from and praying for their cessation does not count as wishing ill-will upon those destined to suffer. Indeed, we must, with as much conviction as possible, even pray for men like Trump and Netanyahu. We must stay in the Keep of Jesus Christ, looking out at the ills of the world from our impenetrable spiritual fortress – the strength and security of the Rock of Ages. Our own turn for death and destruction will come soon enough.
When I mentioned Trump falling on the airplane steps, I wasn’t taking pleasure at his misfortune. I was pointing out the fact that God’s justice takes many forms, some people take that for Kharma, and if that’s what you want to call it, ok, I guess. But you have to admit, as much as Trump would like to differentiate himself from Joe Biden, in my humble opinion, there are a lot more similarities than differences. Especially in their slavish subservience to Netanyahu and the Zionists.
God bless all.
