GB, Ranger and Powderman are all speaking with enlightenment..
For one unacquainted with eschatology; they are worth listening to.
Yes, Ranger...it looks more and more like itr will be Jews and Christians against the terrorist factions of Islam, however large a percentage of Islam that faction will be....
I do believe, again based on eschatology, that much of "old Europe", will NOT be with us...look at the hard time they give our President when he refuses to take The Palestinian side against Israel.
One reason things will go rapidly down hill if a Dumacrat is elected, is because they (Kerry?) will probably will turn their back on Israel...
A prediction!....! IF THE U.S. TURNS THEIR BACK ON ISRAEL, GOD WILL TURN HIS BACK ON THE U. S. !!
You can take that to the bank!
Someone, in an earlier post said that God does have a middle initial in his name.
I expect they are not familiar with Jewish belief ....
They believe that God's name is too holy to be spoken so simply, so familiarly...somewhat like "using his name in vain"..
I am not so sure but that we born-again Christians should be reserving such awe and wonder for him, and follow the same practice!
Even as children, most of us are taught not to refer to our earthly father by his first name....how much more reverent should we be with Holy God's name....selah...
I know that the only way to heaven FOR ME is through Jesus Christ' I will not judge others, especially not God's chosen people...
"Now we see through a glass darkly..." I Cor 13:12
We are now seeing certain things in seemingly greater profusion than ever before...Huricanes (whirlwinds), earthquakes, pestilences (eg aids,SARS, West Nile etc.), earthquakes today and more coming soon, Volcano in Japan, Mt St Helens awakening again. (Matt 24)
Scripture tells us that Satan's people will kill us (Christians) and think they are doing their God a favor..sound familiar?
Beheading is one of Satan's children's favorite way of killing us,,(Rev20:4)
I do not accuse the Islamic radicals of being God's servants...they indict themselves...they indict themselves by choosing to be enemies of God's chosen people and those that have been grafted into His family...
