DISPATCHES

There are cogent arguments for staying out of the Israeli conflict. By cogent I mean that there is logic there....but all that logic disappears when you consider that Iran is another Nazi Germany. There was no appeasing that monster. There is no appeasing or dealing with the same hatred that the Iran government has. There was no avoiding the Nazi aggression. So when discussing what to do with Iran....there is no....'this is dangerous'....or....'that is dangerous'....for not confronting Iran is not only the most dangerous option of all....it would be a....guaranteed....catastrophe. There is supreme evil in the world....Russia 1917 was one instance....Germany 1933 was another....and Iran today....and for quite some time now....is yet another. I posted the following paragraph in December....2012:

"Everything is going along fine, according to the plan, Ahmadinejad's plan. We are nearing the end of December, the time allotted for Iran to prove that it will comply with the United Nation's demand to exchange its low-enriched uranium for fuel rods that could not be further enriched for making a bomb. Iran gave a proposal to start the exchange, with some modifications, modifications that would further delay the total exchange of uranium promised. Increased sanctions may be immanent. Iran may choose a few months of sanctions in order to enrich enough uranium for some kind of weapon. There are two parts to this problem. The first is Iran's attempt to join nations such as Pakistan with nuclear weapons capability. Sanctions seem to address this problem. There is a second problem though. Should Iran be able to make just one bomb, or a few smaller devices, this would be enough to destroy Israel or inflict enormous casualties on an American army. It also has to be considered that a ballistic nuclear attack by Iran would immediately be identified whereas terrorist activity using these devices leave room for denials of any involvement. Iran is delaying, and even a total capitulation to the demands at this late date would be somewhat unsettling."

May God if it be in His perfect will....awaken those who truly know Him....as to who this man really is....and how he is an enemy to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The whole world may follow him....along with millions of evangelicals in America....but may God relent in judging His church....and bring us together for what is ahead.

Generally....at events such as a military academy or yesterday at Fort Bragg....soldiers....marines....etc....tend to cheer Donald Trump as a hero. If they knew who he has been his whole life....if Vietnam veterans knew who this man is even today....they would sit or stand stone-faced in his presence.

Generally....evangelicals believe that Donald Trump is somehow furthering the cause of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It they knew the ulterior motives of this man....if they understood what truly furthers the gospel and what hinders or distorts it....and if they recognized that every warning in the New Testament on what type of people to avoid at all costs and not to have any fellowship at all with....pointed directly to Donald Trump....they would not let other Christians be fooled by him without at least a challenge....and pastors would not let his name be mentioned under the church roof.

Fox news....and all these radio hosts and commentators and podcasters....are killing you....figuratively speaking....it is poison that they are giving you. You need to back away and ask God for wisdom on what is going on. Forget your Steelers and your US Open and your plans....and hone in on what is most important. Well....you're not going to do that....but keep it in mind for when you see that the problem is bigger than you think.

A military parade....coinciding with his birthday. This is something that only Putin or Xi or Kim Jong Un would do....probably only Kim Jong Un. I wonder if Trump will line them all up on the grandstand....Rubio and the rest....that's what Putin does The estimates are just about 7,000 military personnel. That's an interesting number for when Elijah was threatened by Jezebel he took off for the hills....where God reproved him for thinking himself all alone....and told him that He had reserved 7,000 that had not bent the knee to Baal. There surely are 7,000 pastors today who have not bent the knee to Trump.

It is truly an odd feeling.....watching.....and experiencing as an empire collapses....America being that veritable empire for most of a century.....absurdities coming out of the mouths of absurd leaders....living and breathing idols worshipped in almost every home....violence so commonplace that each new attack only affects us for fifteen minutes to a half hour of our time....unless it's celebrated on Dateline or something like that where it gets our attention for up to two full hours. Cameras are everywhere. I saw a man drive by just today....well the car was driving....and he was sitting there with his arms folded! You can pick your gender. With all this and more going on....pastors in every city and town and rural route in America take the mic at the pulpit.....supposed shepherds....and warn of absolutely nothing. All the Dr. Frankensteins are warning about the artificial intelligence monsters that they created....they should know....but no one is listening to them. Drones deliver pizzas....it won't be long until they deliver a warrant for your arrest. Big Brother is finally here....

According to us....January 6 was a peaceful protest. Their protests are all violence. Our whistle-blowers are all brave and honorable. Their whistleblowers are all liars. Our inspector generals are all honest. Their inspector generals are all political. Our subpoenas have to be obeyed. Their subpoenas should be ignored. Our special investigators are heroes. Their special investigators are traitors. Our journalists are fair. Their journalists are to be purged. We no longer have any intellectual integrity or ethics....nor do we defend from the high ground anymore. The king has by decree outlawed all protest....unless we happen to protest something.

                                                                          


So who am I to report....the polite waiters that have always served me Mexican food....or the hard workers doing lawn service in my town....or the group of men putting a new roof on....or the man who is working fast every morning to fill the milk and butter refrigerators....or the gracious ladies who work in every hotel that we stay in....or maybe a woman and the child in the stroller....who is praising God in Spanish for the new life for her family? Most of these people are probably living in fear right now. A few centuries ago we were the....'invaders.' Answer me this....all the families that were torn apart to ship the healthy over here to be slaves....and only half of them made the voyage alive....they were not invaders right? God gave us a poster....so to speak....Leviticus 19:34...."You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God."

There is cutting out waste in government....and there is destroying multitudes of lives....that won't be a drop in the bucket on the debt....but will continue to keep captive the once but no longer rigorous mind of the conservative voter. There is finding and arresting and deporting violent gang members....and there is destroying multitudes of lives....the numbers of which won't be a drop in the bucket....but will continue to stir up the fear and anger in the once but no longer rigorous mind of the conservative.
