As we close out another tumultuous year, half of America is hopeful and half is committed to Alinsky-style political harassment. <\/p>\n

Barack Obama stands in the middle of all of it.<\/p>\n

For too long, American conservatives hoped against hope that Obama’s nasty attitude toward Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu was simply an anomaly, and that he didn’t really dislike Jews or Israel. <\/p>\n

Such hope ignored Obama’s radical background, steeped as he is in Marxist thought and, for our purposes here, a decidedly pro Palestinian bent.

The Muslim Quarter, Jerusalem’s Old City.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Yet his recent order to abstain from voting on UN Security Council Resolution 2334\u2014which condemns Israeli “settlements”\u2014is considered breathtaking, even as he prepares to leave office in three weeks. <\/p>\n

The truth is, Obama wishes to significantly weaken Israel, and this is obvious even to the user-friendly media he has relied on for eight years.<\/p>\n

Jake Novak of CNBC notes that the eyelash-size country in a sea of mammoth Muslim nations commands a great deal of attention from world powers:<\/p>\n

“It’s safe to say that for a tiny nation the size of New Jersey, Israel commands an unjustified amount of the world’s attention. It can even be called an obsession.”<\/p>\n

The supreme irony here is that while Obama & Friends (international political leaders, diplomats, religious figures, media hacks) would laugh at the idea, their obsession with the Jewish state is a direct fulfillment of Bible prophecy.<\/p>\n

Zechariah 14:1 speaks of a coming time when Israel and Jerusalem will become an obsession for the international community:<\/p>\n

“A day of the Lord is coming, Jerusalem, when your possessions will be plundered and divided up within your very walls.”<\/p>\n

We are at a seminal moment in history. Pro Israel forces battle with pro Palestinian forces, and on any given day, each side seems to grow stronger. But for those of you with a mind open enough to consider that Bible prophecy is legitimate, hear the sad words of the prophet Jeremiah (30:13,14):<\/p>\n

“There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sore, no healing for you. All your allies have forgotten you; they care nothing for you.”<\/p>\n

We are not there, yet. Israel still has friends in high places. <\/p>\n

But the Day is coming. The Normandy invasion of World War 2 was called “The Day of Days.” However, the true Day of Days\u2014the great Day of the Lord as spoken of in Scripture\u2014is still future.<\/p>\n

It is coming. And fast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
