Former President Jimmy Carter made it public how "he has been in love with the Palestinian people for many years." He insists there can never be peace in the Middle East until everyone opens their arms to groups like Hamas. To the Palestinians he said, "I hope someday in the future to address you in your perpetual capital, Jerusalem." Sounds good but it really was a lie! Our not-too-informed President, Barack Hussein Obama, said that Israel has had a right to exist in the Holy Land since the Holocaust. This is false! Their right to exist there goes back to God's promises that began in the OT. The drive to "go back home" to the Promised Land has been in the working stage since the Jews were scattered in A.D. 135 but for over two hundred years, this yearning to return has been in the works in earnest! Obama does not know his history. In a revisionist frame of mind he believes that Jerusalem is the home of the three faiths—Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. This too is wrong! Only the Jews hold the title deed to the land, and to Jerusalem, as given to them by God! It is the amillennial Catholic Church that has tried to lay some kind of claim on Jerusalem. It is not theirs! With Obama's statement that Israel has had a claim on the Holy Land since the Holocaust, Prime Minister Netanyahu has set the record straight by saying, "Our prophets always envisioned peace; we bless each other with Shalom (peace); our prayers end in peace." Be prepared for some who are "Christians" to cut Israel free from the promises of the prophets. The Protestant denominations are shifting even more to the left. This will be part of the Apostasy that we are rapidly moving toward. – Dr. Mal Couch |
