In his considerations of the “end times” (the biblical end of the world), Joel Rosenberg (see his book “Epicenter: Why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your World”) ponders the threat to Israel by Russia, Iran and their allies and the possibility that the United States will not come to Israel’s defense. The question I had when I read the book a couple of years ago was: what happened to the United States? Until recently it was not possible to imagine that the United States would not stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel and help defend it. But with the Obama administration we are witnesses to Israel being denied any help defending itself, and instead the Obama administration throws its support to Fatah and Hamas and treats Iran, a mortal enemy not only to Israel but to the United States as well, pleasantly and respectfully.
Mr. Rosenberg’s position comes from the Bible (Ezekiel 38-39) which states that no one will come to Israel’s defense when it is surrounded and threatened by its enemies, and the answer to my question of what happened to the United States is: Obama happened to the United States. Obama’s anti-Israel administration seems to support the predictions of the Bible about the “end times”. Without the United States no one will defend Israel, and events of biblical proportion will become daily news.
The next election is critical in ways directly related to the continued freedoms and prosperity of the United States, but also of the larger relations with the world in general, and perhaps our relations with Israel being the most important. In November 2010, we elect a new congress which must be prepared to repeal or defund Obamacare, the EPA, the Department of Education, the IRS and Obama’s Czars, and they must begin the reversal of the current legislature’s over-spending and its leftist regulations controlling our lives and our businesses. But possibly equally important will be our support and alliance with Israel. The next congress can assure sales of weapons to Israel and publicly assure friendship and support for Israel and its leaders when they visit the United States.
The next election will be the most important in our nation’s history, and we must vote for people who have the courage to act wisely and who understand the difference between right and wrong and be willing to act accordingly.
