http://www.hallindsey.com/ This week on the Hal Lindsey Report he gave some good information on topics we have been talking about on this forum. About Israel and the statements made by Obama and others like David Patraeus. Good report about the Hutaree Militia. He covers alot of what has been discussed here recently. You can also catch the Report on some Christian TV stations. There is other good news reporting on the website. Like the Judge in Ohio telling residents to,"arm themselves".

This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report'
On this week's edition of "The Hal Lindsey Report": Among Christians, few images endure as much as the Sea of Galilee. It is a central motif in the Gospel story. Much of Jesus' ministry occurred near or upon the waters of the Sea of Galilee. He found many of his disciples there. He performed some of His greatest miracles there. He taught many of His greatest lessons there.
But like other things in our troubled world today, the Sea of Galilee is having its problems. Low water levels and even lower fish populations have forced the Israeli government to close the Sea of Galilee to fishing for the next two years. Is this a metaphor for what is happening in the spiritual world around us?
The Muslims are screaming that Israel is preparing to desecrate Temple Mount by building a Third Temple there. Never mind the fact that the Muslims are the interlopers in this scenario! What is causing them to say this? Besides the fact that their hostility toward the Jews is being mightily encouraged by the way the President of the United States is treating Israel or hundreds of buses are tooling around Jerusalem with large signs on them calling for the rebuilding of the Temple (they're advertisements sponsored by a hard line orthodox Jewish group), the Muslims are keenly aware of 'the Hurva prophecy.'
A respected Jewish sage once predicted that Jerusalem's main Ashkenazi synagogue -- now known as Hurva Synagogue -- would be destroyed twice and rebuilt twice. He prophesied that after it was rebuilt the second time, construction on the Third Temple would begin. Hurva ('the ruin') Synagogue was built in 1700 and destroyed in 1721. It was rebuilt in 1864 and destroyed again in 1948. In 2000, reconstruction began on the third incarnation of Hurva Synagogue. It was completed this year and rededicated on March 15, 2010. That's why the Muslims are nervous.
Everyone is beginning to realize that President Obama harbors a distinct hostility for Israel, especially the conservative government of Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, it's becoming obvious that the Obama Administration's "rage" over Israel's insult to Vice President Biden and the rest of the US by the announcement of the building project in the Jewish neighborhood of Ramat Shlomo, is merely a trumped up excuse to exert pressure on Netanyahu's government in an effort to make it fall.
However, a recent report by the head of the US Central Command, General David Petraeus, caught everyone by surprise. He declared that Israel's actions are causing the US to lose support among moderate Arab states. In fact, he said that American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are "bearing the consequences." I suppose this confirms the suspicions of the Israelis. A recent poll shows that 90% of Israelis believe that the Obama Administration is more pro-Arab than pro- Israel. Israeli - American relations are now at their lowest ebb since the presidency of Jimmy Carter.
Folks, we need to pray earnestly that our leaders will not turn their backs on God's covenant people. If they do, it's bad news for America.
Winston Churchill once said, "Appeasement is like feeding an alligator in the vain hope that he'll eat you last." Former New York City mayor, Ed Koch wrote this week, "[Muslim] hatred of the US has little to do with what we do and a lot to do with what we are -- a free, secular, and democratic country that protects the rights of women and minorities. No amount of appeasement will change this undeniable fact." There's a lot of wisdom in those two statements. I hope someone in Washington is paying attention, but I'm not hopeful.
Finally, the mainstream media is absolutely giddy with delight. They really needed something or someone to come to President Obama's (and their) rescue. And the Hutaree Militia obliged. Actually, it wasn't the militia's idea, it was the idea of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and quite a collection of other law enforcement agencies. Last weekend, a massive force of government law enforcers launched raids in three states. When the rain-soaked dust cleared, the authorities had succeeded in capturing the entire Hutaree Militia -- all nine of them. I know I'll sleep better now.
Seriously, though, the media is giddy because the Hutarees call themselves a 'Christian' militia. And in their effort to marginalize the rampaging mobs of citizens angry about the passage of ObamaCare, the Left needed "poster boys and girls" for those millions of out-of-control, heavily armed, hellbent-for-anarchy middle class mom and pop, grandma and grandpa American terrorists about to erupt in armed rebellion! Now they've got one (or nine).
But, somehow, I don't think the American public is buying it. Deep down, I believe most Americans know that we Bible prophecy teachers have never even INSINUATED that we should prepare to make an armed assault on the government. They know it's a diversionary tactic.
That said, this week I'll share with you my thoughts on your rights as citizens and how Jesus said we should prepare ourselves for the persecution that lies ahead. He also gave specific instruction about what we should and should not do when we are brought before kings and rulers (as we will be). And He gave some spine-tingling promises about the end results!
