What We're Praying/Talking About

Our faith in action, or our small contribution in trying to apply what we're taught in Hebrews 5-6 and James 2:17-26 for the benefit of our dear brothers and sisters within the Body of Christ...

Obama And Israel

There's no disputing that tension between President Obama and the state of Israel is heating up. Of course, that doesn't bode well for us in the long run.

In fact, earlier this week we saw the latest in a series of this administration's "offensive" acts towards that tiny nation that the rest of the world loves to hate.

Here's the photo that got all of the attention:


While that image created quite a stir politically, there was an article associated with it that had one quote in particular that REALLY caught my eye.

Here's the quote from that column that should give all of us cause for concern regarding out nation's new stance with our only true ally in the Middle East:

Israel's Channel One TV reported that Netanyahu was told Tuesday by an "American official" in Jerusalem that, "We are going to change the world. Please, don't interfere." The report said Netanyahu's aides interpreted this as a "threat."

Wow! That's an arrogant, bold, provocative statement to say the least, isn't it? Prophetically speaking, the response from the Lord upon this nation won't be tempered especially when He always has more than enough reason to exert His divine judgment upon us for the multitude of our sins.

Sadly, it's becoming quite clear that the Obama regime (and that's EXACTLY what it's shaping up to be -- a "regime" and not an administration) has very large goals in mind, and they are now posturing against anyone who is in the way.

Here's the question: What is Obama going to do if Israel doesn't head his warning? It sure seems like the intensity of these "talks" are escalating!

One can only pray that his story has no bearing on the report that Netanyahu plans a major policy speech next week in what some political analysts are suggesting could be his proposal to back a two-state solution.

As students of end times Bible prophecy, we already know that it most likely will not be anything good, and it will certainly move us all that much closer to the start of the Tribulation.

Time is short my friends. Keep looking up. Lord come quickly!

Netanyahu will be giving his speech today (June 14th). Please keep him in prayer as he must be under tremendous pressure from Washington and from factions in his own government. It just feels like the very hounds of hell are snarling at his feet.

Obama knew what he was doing when he released that photo. And it never would have gotten out of the White House without his authorization. He knows full well what the gesture means, too. It's part and parcel of his cultural background.

I don't believe showing the sole of one's shoe is significant in the Jewish culture; however, Jewish people by now certainly know of Obama's background and that he understands the significance of such a pose. He released the photo to the press letting it be known he was on the phone with Netanyahu? If I were Netanyahu, I wouldn't be taking it lightly.

Shoes aside, the body language alone suggests to me an inherent lack of respect for the seriousness of the conversation at hand. Feet on the desk is more in line with a phone call from the wife with a reminder to pick up milk and bread on the way home, than it is a discussion of serious foreign policy.

Now about the shoes 'on'....
I think its more than a little lack of respect. Moses and Joshua were commanded to take off their shoes when they were standing on holy set apart ground...Nothing about the office desk or out of round mishapen oval office of an anti-christ like Obama serving in place as the re-incarnated Egyptian deity or combination there of is holy unto our Abba but unto the unholy taskmasters of Babylon which the US has been 'changed' into.

When Boaz took ruth as his 'bride' he removed his sandal. Obama is showing his arrogance toward the Most High God and clearly serves on the wrong side of the current conflict. Still trying to rule Jer USA lem...and there are still tares in the land...

Netanyahu just backed a 2 state solution.
He said he would accept a demilitarized palestinian state!

This whole picture of Obama with his shoes upon the desk is one of supreme comfort and confidence, one with the whole world in his hands, control unlimited.

And, now, with the news that Netanyahu just backed a 2-state solution, dear Lord, come get us!
