Bibi......We Hardly Knew Ye

               Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had always been an example of pure dedication to the security of his beloved Israel. Indeed....it was always an encouragement just listening to him powerfully and yet eloquently explain Israel's position and determination....but time has worn him down....time and his forced and subservient association with the President of the United States....Donald John Trump. Trump does this to everyone who voluntarily or involuntarily flies too close to his flame. He is the only one who survives the turmoil that he causes.

              On February 4, 2020....Trump gave the most absurd State of the Union Address....where the greatest things were going to happen all over the world....but God had other plans....as the Covid 19 virus was replicating at the time. Here are a few words from that speech.

"Tonight I stand before you to share the incredible results....(of the past three years)....Jobs are booming....Incomes are soaring....Poverty is plummeting....Crime is falling....Confidence is surging....and our country is thriving....America's fortunes are on the rise.....America's future is blazing bright....our pride is restored....("Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" Proverbs)....we are moving forward at a pace that was unimaginable just a short time ago....and we are never going back....we are advancing with unbridled optimism"....and the address ended with this...."This nation is our canvas, and this country is our masterpiece. We look at tomorrow and see unlimited frontiers just waiting to be explored. Our brightest discoveries are not yet known. Our most thrilling stories are not yet told. Our grandest journeys are not yet made. The American Age, the American epic, The American adventure has only just begun. Our spirit is still young. The sun is still rising, God's grace is still shining, and my fellow Americans, the best is yet to come."

              On September 19, 2023....Benjamin Netanyahu gave a similarly absurd speech to the United Nations. He had by then bought a condo on the island of Donald Trump. Here are a few words from that speech....and some of my commentary....just as Hamas was finishing preparations for the October Sukkot attack.

"Imagine the blessings of finally cracking the genetic code, extending life by decades, and dramatically reducing the ravages of old age...imagine a world with boundless clean energy." John Lennon is not the person that any God-fearing man should be referencing....but that's what he (Netanyahu) did....by name....and it disturbed me a little in how he felt that he needed to remind people of what he personally had accomplished. He did acknowledge towards the end....the dangers in this latest quest for peace in the Middle East....but it was almost as an afterthought. I also found it odd how he emphasized....first the great potential of artificial intelligence...."the most consequential development of our time"....and then immediately after....the great dangers of artificial Intelligence. Actually I found it very disturbing that he would make AI which he said is...."progressing at lightning speed"....such a major part of a major speech.

Note: "And he (Jesus) said to them, 'I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven'." Luke 10:18 ESV

             

           

                Mr. Prime Minister....if a seven-year timeframe is ever mentioned on the peace agreement....I refer you to a book that was found in a stack of books on the bed table of David Ben-Gurion....after his death....The Late Great Planet Earth....by Hal Lindsey.
