And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. |
I think of the great dispensations where
the Holy Spirit lit up the human spirit to
shape the universal church, as troubled
as she's always been. When Martin Luther's
soul was on fire, or when King James had
more than a political fire in his belly to
reform a corrupt and antiquated pagan
system, it was due to the conversion in
their souls by the Holy Spirit.
In my mind, both King James and Martin
Luther, although flawed individuals, were
mighty warriors, yet, they lived in a world
where Jerusalem was defunct, and no one
exactly was fighting over her. After the
Middle Ages and the Crusades, the Templars
of Jerusalem and that era passed, Jerusalem
went back to its pre-Canaanite period where
it consisted of bedoin Ishmaelites. No one
fought for her or against her in the years
past the 16th Century.
It wasn't until a series of events occurred in
the 19th Century, when the Jews of Europe
were systematically disenfranchised and
persecuted, when the zeal for Zion occurred
and the desire to have a homeland to escape
scourges seemed to be the panacea.
Out of the dust of the Holocaust, the nation
of Israel rose in 1948, 60 years ago...
Ironically, the orthodox Jews fought harder
than anyone to prevent this because as religious
people, they realized that only under the
Messiah could the land be resurrected.
However, they based this upon the Messiah
coming, not the Messiah having already come.
Therefore these prophecies in Zechariah
must have been confusing for them, as well
as for every prior generation of Christian
to understand or relate to.
We are in a totally different vantage point.
We were raised in a world where every day
nations of this world rant and rave about
Israel. Israel is blamed for everything.
I love Bob Dylan's "Neighborhood Bully."
In this song, he perfectly illustrates the
hypocrisy of the world. Yet, this hypocrisy
illuminates how it is a spiritual precondition
than political state of mind. It's a form
of spiritual hypnosis for the residents of
the world to react with such enmity
towards this tiny little nation, yet, the
end of the world pivots upon them.
Well, the neighborhood bully, he's just one man, His enemies say he's on their land. They got him outnumbered about a million to one, He got no place to escape to, no place to run. He's the neighborhood bully. The neighborhood bully just lives to survive, He's criticized and condemned for being alive. He's not supposed to fight back, he's supposed to have thick skin, He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in. He's the neighborhood bully. The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land, He's wandered the earth an exiled man. Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn, He's always on trial for just being born. He's the neighborhood bully. Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized, Old women condemned him, said he should apologize. Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad. The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad. He's the neighborhood bully. Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him, 'Cause there's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back And a license to kill him is given out to every maniac. He's the neighborhood bully. He got no allies to really speak of. What he gets he must pay for, he don't get it out of love. He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side. He's the neighborhood bully. Well, he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace, They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease. Now, they wouldn't hurt a fly. To hurt one they would weep. They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep. He's the neighborhood bully. Every empire that's enslaved him is gone, Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon. He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand, In bed with nobody, under no one's command. He's the neighborhood bully. Now his holiest books have been trampled upon, No contract he signed was worth what it was written on. He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth, Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health. He's the neighborhood bully. What's anybody indebted to him for? Nothin', they say. He just likes to cause war. Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed, They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed. He's the neighborhood bully. What has he done to wear so many scars? Does he change the course of rivers? Does he pollute the moon and stars? Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill, Running out the clock, time standing still, Neighborhood bully. |

Goy is interpreted as "nations". This word
has it's literal roots in defining all non-Hebrew
nations and people. In the broader sense,
it refers to the context of this very verse, in that
every last nation is coming against Jerusalem.
We'd like to believe that the USA is not going
to ever be in that coalition, but, we host the
United Nations, the most virulently antisemitic
institution . We defer to their authority on
matters of world importance, and when the
Arab and Islam nations decide to wipe Israel
off the face of the map, we'll be in that
Goyim group, especially with a Muslim
sympathizer and shill for President, if that
happens. A man with the name of Osama
Hussein will not back Israel when it comes
down to the last stands. He'll throw her
to the dogs... That's why he never speaks
about Israel, except in glib generalities,
yet how many Democratic Jews will
campaign for him? It makes my head swim.
The end of the world as we know it comes
when all nations are against Israel. In that
day, the LORD will destroy the haters.
For thousands of generations, man has
gotten away with persecution, genocide,
and depriving the children of Abraham
their civil rights. Enough is enough. WHat
is included, though, is the House of Judah,
for to the Islamic mind, there is no difference
between the Jew or Christian. They've already
wiped out millions of Jews, and now they
are slaughtering Christians, only our media
conceals this fact. Instead, we have propaganda
towards the same God-forsaken places in
Africa, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia etc. where
genocide against Christians has never been
greater.
The candidate for the antichrist, Obama Osama
Hussein, appeared in a picture dressed in
Somalia tribal dress as a show of solidarity
for them. This is a country that mutilates
girls' genitalia at 8 years old, without anaesthetics.
They then sew up their labia, and if the
girls don't die then and there, or weeks
later from excruciating infections, they
usually die later on from intercourse
and hemmhorage or childbirth.
These are fiendish devils who we are
giving aid to grow and get strong, while
our own democratic nation is falling apart.
The only supporters of Israel have been
England and the USA, but, England is now
almost entirely a Muslim nation, and they
won't lift a finger to help Israel. Israel
has no allies. The USA is all but through
with her, and if the man with the
Islamic name and unknown agenda
gets in, it's all over for Israel.
We know that when it's all over for
Israel, it's sayonara world. This is
the fate of all nations who come
against the nation of Israel, whether
secular national Israel, or the persecution
and execution of Jews and Christians
which is happening all over the
Middle East, Africa and all the nations
where Islam has initiated Sharia law
and totalitarian governments.
This shouldn't depress us. It should
liberate us to read what will happen
to these evildoers and demons. They
will be met, face to face, with Jesus
Christ himself, and their fate is not
hidden, as we shall see and read.
