Look at our world...
I'm going to discuss one man and one woman and one tiny nation.
The man is Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He spoke to the United Nations General Assembly today in New York City. This is some of what he said..."Today, the Zionist regime (he doesn't recognize the state of Israel) is on a definite slope to collapse, and there is no way for it to get out of the cesspool created by itself and its supporters (mainly the United States). American empire in the world is reaching the end of its road, and its next rulers must limit their interference to their own borders." He gave a thumbs-down as President Bush denounced Iran as a sponsor of global terrorism.
This is the man who denies the Holocaust ever happened and continually says that Israel should be "wiped off the map." He doesn't believe women have any rights and might be mere months away from having a nuclear weapon he could shoot right into Tel Aviv.
The woman is Sarah Palin. She was scheduled to give a speech at a rally against Ahmadinejad outside the United Nations headquarters but was dis-invited. (I won't go into the specifics of that...you can read an article I've posted below if you would like more information.) In her speech, she was going to speak against Iran's leader and point out his "agenda that threatens all who seek a safer and freer world." She was going to stress how "the world must awake to the threat this man poses to all of us. (He) denies that the Holocaust ever took place. He dreams of being an agent in a 'Final Solution' - the elimination of the Jewish people. He has called Israel a 'stinking corpse' that is 'on its way to annihilation." Yet, no one wants to hear the truth of the matter...
The tiny nation I speak of is Israel. Unfortunately, Iran is not the only nation who would like to see an end to the state of Israel where currently over 7 million (one more million than were killed in the Holocaust) Jews live now. I believe God himself gathered the diaspora (the dispersed Jews) back to the Holy Land. Yahweh will not let Israel be destroyed. I believe nations will come against her but she will cry out for her Messiah (who their ancestors crucified) and Yeshua will come and save her.
So, I watch our world with great interest because it does matter what is going on...and I don't want to be caught asleep at the wheel!
