Tonight on the Hal Lindsay Report (Fall of 2015 also Hainley inserts)
The coming alliance between Russia and Iran represents one
of the pivotal points in Bible prophecy.
We’re seen them flirting with one another for years, but it is now
becoming something more.
Last year, the second most important man in Iran visited
Russia. It wasn’t the president, Hassan
Rouhani. It was the leader of the
notorious Quds Force, General Qassem Soleimani.
First of all, why did Vladimir Putin want to see the
terrorist-in-chief of the world’s chief terrorist nation? Second, why would Putin break an
international law that he signed-off on to see this man?
The United Nations has sanctions in place to prohibit
Soleinmani from traveling outside Iran, yet Russia, who voted for the sanction
in the UN Security Council, openly invited him to Moscow
.
Could there be a clue in the English translation of the name
of that notorious organization. Quds
Force. It translates to “Jerusalem
Force”.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power,
openly questioned why Soleimani was welcomed to Russia in violation of the
international sanctions.
This will get interesting.
The Bible very specifically names an alliance between Russia and a group
of Muslim nations led by Persia, or modern Iran, as an aggressor against Israel. Now, Russia and the leader of a terrorist organization from Iran
apparently dedicated to the destruction of Israel, are getting chummy!
Folks, this isn’t just prophecy, these are today’s
headlines! (2015 & 2016)
From time to time, I’ve mentioned the growing insidious
movement among those on the left, even mainline churches, to punish Israel for
not committing national suicide by surrendering itself to the Palestinians.
It’s commonly referred to as BDS. That’s Boycott, Divest, Sanction Israel.
But the concept is not always easily identifiable. In fact,
it is often cloaked in subtle nuance, but the effect is the same: cripple
Israel to the point it is no longer able to survive as a nation.
At the Republican candidates’ first debate last summer, this
diabolical scheme showed itself. And the
gentleman who suggested it probably doesn’t realize the implications of his
proposal.
Responding to a question from Bret Baier, one of the
evening’s moderators, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who favors eliminating all
U.S. foreign aid, said, “Each one of my budgets has taken a meat axe to foreign
aid…”
When asked if that would harm Israel, Paul said, “…even
Benjamin Netanyahu said that, ultimately, they will be stronger when they’re
independent.
Baier followed up by asking: “But you still say that Israel
could be one of the countries that is cut from financial aid?
Paul responded that “we cannot give away money we don’t
have”.
Never mind that all U.S. foreign aid to all the countries of
the world combined only amounts to much less than one percent of our nation’s
budget. We’d be better off if he took
his meat axe to entitlement programs which account for more than two-thirds of
the U.S. budget.
The point is that cutting off aid to Israel Is a bad
idea. Sometimes you have to spend money
to save money.
Buying (and using) a toothbrush may save money on dental
bills. Buying oil changes may prevent
the need for later costly auto repairs.
U. S. aid to Israel, which is about half of what we give to
Afghanistan, works the same way. Israel
is the only stable democracy in the region.
Of all the countries in the Middle East, only Israel’s security needs coincide
completely with those of the United States.
Several countries in the Middle East, Iran foremost among
them, have vowed to wipe Israel from the map. (And we just gave them????)
They don’t attempt it for one simple reason: Israel’s military
strength. So continuing to help Israel
stay militarily strong saves money and lives by deterring those attacks.
A strong stable Israel is far cheaper than a Middle Eastern
war. One that we would have to spend
billio0sof dollars and much blood to end.
To those who wish to end U. S. assistance to Israel, I say
simply: Let’s not be penny wise and pound foolish. The Bible says it stronger. God says that He will bless those who bless
and protect Israel. He will curse those
who curse or abandon her.
Finally, this week I want to debunk a notion that will be
deadly to anyone who falls for it, even Christians. That’s the idea that we can qualify for
heaven by faithfully doing the things we are commanded to do and not doing the
things the Bible prohibits.
It simply will not work.
Man cannot qualify himself by the
works of his hands. God does not grade
on the curve.
The Law proves that.
A note from
gramps. The incidence of Russia increased
blatant buzzing of U. S. ships and increased belligerence in world affairs
could give one the feeling that they/Russia are testing the waters to see if
the United States, or for that matter anyone on in the world, is taking them to
task. While America reduces our military
and refuses to get involved in the affairs of the world, the bear from the
North continues to arm the enemies of the so-called free world and expands
their power base.
Note: Several months ago Russia tested the Turkish
boundaries; when one of their fighters penetrated the Turkish border – results
– one less Russian fighter. The only
thing that Vladimir Putin understands is “power” and a willingness to use
it. The same is true for the power base
in Iran.
Question? For many years the United States was the Big
Brother that provided a covering for the nations of the world that came under
the tyrants of the world. If America
should continue on its decline military who will move into that void? The alternative is “the tyrants of the world
will rapidly move into that void” – that is Stan’s way.
Ye,s Russia and Iran recognize strength and
power and will one day pay the piper in a big way for their arrogance against
the God of Heaven; but Satan has no such respect for those who oppose him. He
just waits for the opportunity to try a different tactic. When he tempted Jesus in the wilderness,
notice, when he realized that he was rapidly losing the battle did not admit
defeat but retreated until “a more
opportune time” (Luke 4:13).
Hey gang: that is precisely what he is doing to each
and every soul that has walked this earth.
That is why it is essential that you keep your armor polished and on,
your lamp filled with the oil of the Holy Spirit, be aware of what is happening
in the world and how it fits into the Prophetic Word and, by all means, stay
prayed up to the minute and your mind filled with the Word of God.
Blessings.
