Shalom in Messiah Yeshua,
Our only real 'shalom/peace' comes by trusting in God's Word and Name. His 'more sure word of prophecy' (2 Pet. 1:19) is our rock. As the world spins out of control, we can trust God to do like He did in 'Esther', and work behind the scenes. In Rev. 17:16-17 ten kings align with the anti-Christ, and hate the harlot, dealing harshly with her. Why? Because God has put it in their hearts to do His will, to act with one accord, in giving their kingdom to the anti-Christ until the Words of God are fulfilled.
Hastening the coming of the Lord
God heard our prayers for a Bibi Netanyahu/Likud definitive victory, yet immediately after, the US, EU and UN pressed on Israel to create a 'Palestine' dividing God's land (Joel 3:1-2). This demonic 'peace' process is seen as the solution for world peace and security - more urgent than dealing with the Islamic State [IS], Christian genocide, an Iranian nuke, a hungry Russian bear, a growing Syrian graveyard, and rising anti-Semitism in the West. As nations come against Jerusalem, politically and economically so far, we are that much closer to Zech. 12:2-10; 14:1-21.
It might be decades before Messiah returns, yet end-time prophetic events are unfolding rapidly. Yeshua's first coming saw over 300 prophecies fulfilled in the span of 33 years. So today, before His return, we are seeing many prophetic fulfillments quickly following one another.
After the Israeli elections
The Middle East's [ME] only democracy elected Netanyahu again and President Obama had a tantrum. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach noted Obama saying in a Huffington Post [HP] interview, that the US takes Bibi at his word, but when Bibi said a Palestinian state wouldn't happen on his watch, then the US needs to reassess its ties with Israel. Of course, we were relieved when Netanyahu said this, and pray God holds him to it. But a White House [WH] spokesman said, Words matter.
There will be consequences…
Boteach asks, if what foreign leaders say matters, why doesn't this apply to Iran? Its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, recently said, Death to America,
as the nuclear negotiations were on-going. Suddenly, Iran's words don't matter?
Also these US-Iran talks are happening as Iran's leaders threaten Israel's destruction, as Khamenei had tweeted, there is no cure for Israel other than annihilation.
If words matter, why is the US speaking to his government? The hypocrisy is startling.
Boteach sees Obama upset because Bibi refuses to cave in. He won't withdraw from Judea and Samaria and allow Hamastan on his eastern border the way it is in Gaza…He won't go quietly into the nuclear night while America appeases one of the most violent and vile regimes on earth. This darned Bibi guy just won't bend.
("For Obama, Bibi's words matter…" S. Boteach, TOI Blogs, 22 Mar. 2015)
Boaz Bismuth asked, Whose side is Obama on?
The day after the elections, Israelis woke up to a surreal reality: The ME is being ravaged by countless problems, but…Obama wants to talk only about a Palestinian state.
In that HP interview, Obama casually mentioned his concern about possible chaos in the ME…
Yet on Bibi's 'no-Palestine-on-my- watch' statement, he said, A two-state solution is the only way for the long-term security of Israel…to stay both Jewish and democratic.
So he ignored the extenuating circumstances in the region, [and] blatantly ignored the wishes of the Israeli voters.
("Whose side is Obama on?" B. Bismuth, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 27 Mar. 2015)
There is also a spiritual dimension. God's enemies - spiritual and in the flesh - hate God's people (Ps. 83:1-5). They hate the election results. Yet the Word warns us this would happen as God restores His people. I will cause the captivity of Judah and… Israel to return, and will build them as before. I will cleanse them
of all their sins against Me. And it shall be for Me a name of joy, praise and honor before all nations… which hear of all the good I do to them. And [the nations/gentiles] shall fear and tremble (i.e. with rage) because of all the good…I bring to it.
(Jer. 33:7-9)
US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) spoke against Obama's post-election hostility, saying Israel is what the US wants in the ME, a democracy with a free enterprise economy, and a strong US ally. Noting Israel's unique
call as the Jewish homeland, especially after the Holocaust, he is proud that America has stood with it all these years, yet he fears such support is in danger
today.
Angered when Bibi said conditions for a two-state solution do not exist,
Obama hinted at removing US support for Israel in the UN by either backing or not vetoing a UN Security Council [SC] resolution recognizing a 'Palestine'. Rubio said Israeli withdrawals from Lebanon and Gaza turned them into rocket launching areas, the Palestinian Authority [PA] rejected every peace offer, and PA incitement vs. Israel and Jews has increased. So Bibi is right that the conditions do not exist for a peace deal with people who teach their children that killing Jews is a glorious thing… [and] that there's no such thing as a Jewish people…
If Israel is not worthy of our unconditional support, what ally …can feel safe in their alliance with us?
("Senator Rubio Rips Obama's 'Historic Mistake' on Israel," Arutz 7, 20 Mar. 2015)
Wall St. Journal columnist Bret Stephens said, There is an upside-down quality to [Obama's] world view. His administration is now on better terms with Iran…than it is with Israel.
Bibi has become persona non grata for his comments doubting the current feasibility of a two-state solution - this, while his [PA] counterpart Abbas is in the 11th year of his four-year term,
and who last year threatened Israel with a global religious war if Jews are allowed to pray
on Jerusalem's Temple Mount. Yet Obama insists Abbas is the best peace-partner Israel will have, which only reinforces what Bibi said. ("WSJ columnist slams Obama as 'Orwellian'," Israel Hayom, 25 Mar. 2015)
Bibi did NOT 'flip-flop'
After the elections, Fox News' Megyn Kelly asked Bibi about his 'no-Palestine-on-my-watch' statement, which seemed to reverse his 2009 Bar Ilan Univ. speech, favoring a two-state solution.
He denied retracting what he had said then in calling for a demilitarized 'Palestine' which recognizes Israel as the Jewish state. What he did say is that this is not possible today. Abbas rejects Israel as a Jewish state,
and is in a unity government with Hamas. Also, the ME situation has so changed that any territory we withdraw from is immediately taken up by Iranian-backed terrorists or by IS.
Bibi said Israel is the most threatened nation in the world, and he has the responsibility to ensure
Israel survives, saying that's why he was elected. ("[Bibi] insists no flip-flopping on Palestinian state," Foxnews, 19 Mar. 2015)
Bibi goes to Washington: Before the speech
We believe that Netanyahu accepted this controversal invitation to speak to the US Congress, because his father, an astute historian, taught his sons to learn the lessons of history, a maxim much of the West ignores today. Bibi knew there were at least six million reasons why he could not/would not be silent.
Israel's US Ambassador Dermer said this opportunity must be taken, as a lesson of recent Jewish history is that the world is a more dangerous place for the Jewish people when the Jewish people are silent.
("…PM's speech Boehner's initiative," JP, 1 Feb. 2015)
Former legal advisor to Israel's Foreign Ministry, attorney Dan Illouz, said Obama wants any deal; Bibi opposes a bad deal
, and seeks a better deal, thus he is a thorn in Obama's side. Seeing how dangerous Obama's vision is, Netanyahu is actually protecting the West from Obama's folly. [He] is to Obama what Churchill was to Chamberlain,
a fierce critic of the latter's appeasement of Nazi Germany. Yet Obama's appeasement of Iran is more dangerous, since while the hateful ideologies of Islamism and Nazism are similar, this time, nuclear weapons are involved.
("Obama's Churchill, Netanyahu's Chamberlain," D. Illouz, JP Op-ed, 12 Feb. 2015)
Bibi goes to Washington: The speech (March 3rd)
Click here to see and hear the speech.
Click here to read it.
Netanyahu focused on the dangers of a nuclear armed Iran for Israel and the world. With the feast of Purim starting the next night, he recalled a powerful Persian viceroy named Haman,
who planned to destroy the Jews 2,500 years ago. Today another Persian potentate
wants the same thing. The Ayatollah Khamenei mixes the oldest hatred, anti-Semitism, with new technology, tweeting in English, Israel must be annihilated…
This regime also poses a grave threat
to the world. In 1979, it established a brutal dictatorship with a new constitution, calling on Iranians to export the 'Islamic revolution' globally by any and all means. America's founding document promises life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness;
Iran's pledges death, tyranny, and the pursuit of jihad.
Today, as ME nations collapse, Iran is doing just that. Acting in Gaza, Lebanon, and on the Syrian Golan, it surrounds Israel on three sides. Iran now dominates four Arab capitals, Baghdad, Damascus, Beirut and Sanaa [Yemen].
While many hope Iran will join the community of nations, [it] is busy gobbling up nations.
While Iran fights ISIS, both aim at a global"militant Islamic empire,
and only disagree as to who will lead it. The difference is that ISIS is armed with butcher knives, captured weapons and YouTube, whereas Iran could soon be armed with intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear bombs…To defeat ISIS and let Iran get nuclear weapons would be to win the battle, but lose the war,
which is what will happen, if the current agreement is approved.
He warned against the deal's two major concessions.
First, leaving Iran's vast nuclear infrastructure intact gives it a short break-out time to the bomb.
Restrictions and adherence to the deal will be supervised by international inspectors,
but they only document violations; they don't stop them.
Inspectors did not stop N. Korea from a bomb. Iran has already defied them several times, and the IAEA, the UN's nuclear watchdog agency, just said Iran still refuses to come clean about its military nuclear program.
Since Iran has proven it cannot be trusted
, this concession means Iran could get a bomb by violating the deal.
Yet the second concession is more dangerous: Iran could get [a] bomb by keeping the deal,
as virtually all restrictions on it expire in about a decade, leaving it free to build as many nuclear weapons as it wants.
Why would anyone make this deal?
Do they hope Iran will change for the better…?
This regime will not. It has held on to power for 36 years, and its aggression is growing. Would Iran be less aggressive when sanctions are removed and its economy is stronger?
Also, many Sunni Arab nations, to defend against Iran, will race to get their own nukes. So this deal ignites a nuclear arms race in the most dangerous part of the planet.
He then listed three things that could turn a 'bad deal' into one that Israel and its neighbors may not like, but with which we could live, literally…
Before removing restrictions or sanctions, demand that Iran, stop its aggression against
its ME neighbors. …stop supporting terrorism around the world,
and stop seeking Israel's annihilation. If Iran wants to be treated like a normal country, let it act like a normal country.
To Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel, who was in the hall, Bibi said, I wish I could promise you…that the lessons of history have been learned. I can only urge leaders of the world not to repeat mistakes of the past; not to sacrifice the future for the present; not to ignore aggression in the hopes of gaining an illusory peace. But I can guarantee you
that we Jews will no longer remain passive in the face of genocidal enemies.
Israel is back in its land, For the first time in one hundred generations, we…can defend ourselves,
and he promised that, even if Israel has to stand alone, Israel will stand…
Pointing to Moses' image in the chamber, he said, Moses led our people from slavery to the gates of the Promised Land. Before the people of Israel entered the land of Israel, Moses gave us a message that has steeled our resolve for thousands of years. I leave you with his message today.
He then said in Hebrew,
(Deut. 31:6a)Be strong and resolute, neither fear nor dread them
!
After the speech
Jeffrey Herf wrote, …cultural historians know what Netanyahu …expressed so eloquently,
that often leaders of nations hold beliefs that are absurd, irrational, dangerous and evil. Political leaders…trained as lawyers and foreign policy experts…educated in the social sciences that have too often been dismissive of the causal importance of cultural and ideological factors in politics have a far harder time grasping the causal importance of ideologies such as militant Islam.
Many Western foreign policy experts have great difficulty taking the ideological motivations of adversaries with the seriousness they merit…The reality of fanaticism and irrationality in Iran and… radical Islam is difficult for our foreign policy elite to grasp.
Yet Bibi explained its impact on Iranian policy with courage and intelligence
, calling for unity to face this common threat. With all that demeans politics, at times a man of conviction looks into the face of evil and calls it by its name,
making a difference. ("Nothing new in [Bibi's] speech?" J. Herf, TOI blogs, 11 Mar. 2015)
Palestinian scholar Bassam Tawil is no fan of Israel, yet he said Bibi was right to warn Congress about Iran's overt aggression, as even Iran's 'moderate' Pres. Rouhani admitted, Iran's diplomacy with the US is an active
jihad
.
Many in the ME now see Bibi as a hero.
He spoke despite the objections of many…willing to accept personal, political and diplomatic set-backs to look after his people's security. Throughout history, prophets have often been without honor in their own countries, and have been rejected by the very people who should pay attention to them.
("Hero of the ME: The Israeli Messenger," B. Tawil, Gatestone Institute, 18 Mar. 2015)
Isi Liebler said this was an historic event
as the leader of the Jewish state, addressed the US Congress and was received so warmly. As the 70th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation had just passed, he asked, Could those who endured the Shoah or were engaged in the struggle to establish a Jewish state have dreamed that within a century a Jewish leader would obtain such recognition from the most powerful lawmakers in the world? We are indeed living in extraordinary… [even] miraculous times, and it ill behooves us to take our status for granted.
("Netanyahu's congressional tour de force," I. Leibler, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 10 Mar. 2015)
Obama & Kerry's amazing ME miracle!
The American Interest website wrote, Today we witnessed something … most of us would not have expected to see in our lifetimes: an Israeli Prime Minister came to Washington not just as the voice of Israel, but also of much of the Sunni Arab world…
Bibi's analysis of Iran's recent progress in its hegemonic quest, his case that the oil crash gives the West fresh leverage when combined with sanctions, and his warning that this agreement would lead to a regional nuclear arms race - the King of Saudi Arabia would have said much the same. The oil crash, in fact, was Riyadh's geopolitical masterstroke, aimed squarely at Tehran.
This is the ironic success of Obama's administration, as Israel and Sunni Arab states
are so alarmed by Iranian advances and receding…American security guarantees that they have made common cause… Today, Bibi spoke not just for Israel, but for many of its Arab neighbors, too.
("Israel speaks for the Sunnis," The American Interest, 3 Mar. 2015)
Columnist Dr. Al-Faraj, in the Saudi daily Al-Jazirah the day before the speech, said, he was very glad
of Bibi's decision to speak against the nuclear agreement,
as this serves the good of the Arab Gulf States much more than the foolish behavior of one of the worst American presidents.
("Even Saudis Want Netanyahu to Address Congress," Israel Today, 3 Mar. 2015)
Other Iranian news
Boaz Bismuth says the idea of an Iranian nuclear weapon is surreal and frightening…
Clearly the Arabs are against this, so why can't Obama to read the writing on the wall?
("Obama is charging toward an Iran deal…" B. Bismuth, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 29 Mar. 2015)
As negotiations were going on, an Iranian general said, Israel's destruction is non-negotiable.
Bibi was furious that not even this impacted the negotiations. ("[Bibi]: 'Unconscionable' that world talks with Iran as Tehran calls for destruction of Israel," JP, 1 Apr. 2015)
After the P5+1 Iranian deal
As we write, a framework deal between the P5+1 world powers and Iran concerning its nuclear program has been agreed upon. Or has it? Current disagreements between participants on what was actually agreed sounds very much like God hearing our prayers and confounding those who hate Zion (Ps. 129:5).
We now hear that no deal was signed, and the versions of what was agreed upon are so far apart that we wonder if the negotiators even talked to each other. Again, an answer to prayer, yet for a brief period folks thought something had been accomplished. It was then that Bibi told Obama, This deal would legitimize Iran's nuclear program, bolster Iran's economy, increase its aggression and terror,
and make Iran's path to a nuclear bomb easier. ("…Iran deal puts Israel's future at risk," JP, 3 Apr. 2015)
Netanyahu tried to get an Iranian affirmation of Israel's right to exist
included, but that was nixed by a State Dept. spokeswoman. So Israel's security is not considered as a factor in this. ("State Dept. rejects call for Iran deal to affirm Israel's 'right to exist'," Fox News, 4 Apr. 2015)
Yet God has made a commitment to Israel's security which does not depend on any man-made deals, but on His commitment to His covenant promises (Ps. 121:4; Jer. 31:10, 35-37, etc.)!
Defense Minister Ya'alon summed up Israel's concerns: It's not that we don't believe the White House…We don't believe the Iranians.
("Ya'alon: Iran deal 'a historic mistake…" TOI, 6 Apr. 2015)
After the deal was announced, Bibi was on several US TV news programs in what seems to be a lobbying effort
against it. He clearly stated, Israel will not accept an agreement which allows a country that vows to annihilate us to develop nuclear weapons, period.
("Netanyahu's Main Campaign," Bridges for Peace, 6 Apr. 2015)
A criticism leveled at Israel from supporters of the deal is for condemnation…without proposing an alternative. Yesterday, in a briefing with foreign media, International Relations, Intelligence & Strategic Affairs Minister Y. Steinitz detailed Israel's demands, which among other things include: a cessation of nuclear research and centrifuge development; shutting down the underground enrichment facility at Fordo…; exposing the military aspect of Iran's nuclear program…; an Iranian commitment to transfer its entire stockpile of enriched uranium outside its borders; assurances that international inspectors will be able to examine any site inside Iran at any time.
("Congress won't make it easy for Obama," B. Bismuth, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 7 Apr. 2015)
Obama dropped his own bomb, when interviewed by NPR, saying, What is a more relevant fear would be that in year 13, 14, 15, [Iran has] advanced centrifuges that enrich uranium fairly rapidly, and at that point breakout times [to get a nuclear bomb] would have shrunk almost down to zero.
Bismuth: If this is the case then the fear over the emerging permanent status deal is justified, because it merely postpones rather than prevents the nightmare scenario of Iran with nuclear capabilities that are military in nature.
("The Obama doctrine: After me, the flood," B. Bismuth, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 8 Apr. 2015)
Insightfully, Prof. Efraim Inbar does not believe a 'better deal' exists because of the essential nature of the Iranian Shiite regime. Yet denying its ratification by the US Congress could create better international circumstances for an Israeli military strike. In fact,
Israeli criticism of the deal now helps legitimize future military action. Indeed, Netanyahu is the only leader concerned enough about the consequences of a bad deal with the guts and military capability
to order a strike, and only this can stop Iran at this time. ("There is no better deal with Iran," Prof. E. Inbar, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 9 Apr. 2015)
Join us in prayer for God's control over Israel's leaders to know if, when, and how to strike, and for Him to continue to save many Iranians.
Exactly what was agreed upon?
A source of confusion is the vastly different versions of this deal, the 'Fact Sheets' that the US and Iran have produced. And Tehran just added another stumbling stone, as Rouhani said, [Iran] will not sign off on a deal…unless all sanctions against it are lifted the same day the deal is signed…The Iranian nation has been and will be the victor in the negotiations.
Yet a week before, Obama stressed that sanctions would not be lifted unless international inspectors were satisfied that Iran had indeed complied with requirements for inspection and the number of centrifuges it is allowed to have for nuclear development.
US officials also said the sanctions would be phased out over time.
Other different interpretations are found in most of the tenets of the deal, including the number of centrifuges Iran will be allowed to have, what it will do with its uranium stockpile, and other issues.
("Rouhani Reiterates: No Deal Unless Sanctions Immediately Lifted," Arutz 7, 9 Apr. 2015)
'Peace' - the world's favorite idol today
Dror Eydar notes that with Iran and the Palestinians, the essence of the dispute between the Israeli government and the Left, both in Israel and around the world,
is whether we dare believe them. Bibi and most Israelis do not. ("Jeffrey Goldberg's libel," D. Eydar, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 29 Jan. 2015)
Palestinian UN ambassador R. Mansour says that creating an Islamic state in Israel's heartland is one of the most effective measures to combat extremism in our region, because extremists receive their fuel from the injustice of the Palestinian people.
Really? Remember Gaza. ("[PA] want UN timetable for statehood," Israel Hayom, 7 Apr. 2015)
Aliyah & the Hunters (Jer. 16:16)
Some Israelis only want Jews to return out of a love for Zion, yet the Jewish State was created as a haven from anti-Semitism.
In Jan., after the Islamic terrorist attacks in a satirical magazine office and a kosher market in Paris, Bibi joined world leaders in a march against terrorism. While there, not bothering about political correctness, he said to French Jews, The State of Israel is not just the place to which you turn in prayer… [It] is also your home.
There has been an increase in French aliyah because of anti-Semitism.
In 2014 France was the top source of immigration to Israel,
with almost 7,000 new immigrants, double that of 2013.
Again, not being politically correct, Bibi said the attacks were part of radical Islam's war against all others. After establishing its bases in the ME, terrorism is now sending its arms throughout the world.
The groups have many names, but they're all motivated by the same bloody…fanaticism that knows no borders…
As proof, Hamas' official publication praised the Paris murderers.
He said a united stance can defeat this. But if we ignore the true root…that extremist Islamic terrorism seeks to exterminate Western civilization as a whole, including the Jewish people,
then what happened in Paris will grow. These are not frightening words or prophecies of rage; this is the simple reality … In order to fight terrorism, it is simply necessary to fight it.
("Netanyahu to French Jews: Israel is your home," Israel Hayom, 11 Jan. 2015)
Elliott Abrams, senior fellow for ME Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations, questioned why there were not more Je suis Juif - I am a Jew - signs in that Paris march? The journalists knew what risks they were running. Their offices had already been bombed,
and it was guarded by police. Yet the Jews were only shopping for Shabbat. The journalists were killed for their deliberate actions, challenging and criticizing Islamic beliefs. The Jews were killed for being Jews.
("Solidarity with journalists, not Jews," E. Abrams, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 12 Jan. 2015)
Dan Margalit, said that Israeli politicians who blasted Bibi for calling the Jews home because they do not want Israel seen as a country of asylum,
have a basic misunderstanding of Zionism, even of the Exodus from Egypt.
Israel's Law of Return for Jews makes it a safe haven, and despite conditions in exile, Israel's leaders are not exempt from the obligation to encourage Jews to follow God's commandment to Abraham:
("A time to offer pride," D. Margalit, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 12 Jan. 2015)Go from your land, your birthplace and from your father's house, to the land which I will show you
(Gen. 12:1)…
The call to kill all Jews is a legitimate criticism of Israel.
Aharon Lapidot says that this horrific sentence was uttered by the general prosecutor's office of the city of Linz in Austria - a legal official in an advanced Western country… [The] country that gave us Hitler has reached a new low of injustice and insensitivity.
The official was defending a Facebook post by an Austrian of Turkish origin, which had Hitler's picture and a made-up Hitler quote: I could have killed all the Jews, but I kept some alive so you would understand why I wanted to kill them in the first place.
The post also called for Allah to eliminate the Jewish state from the face of the earth.
Did the post break an Austrian law forbidding glorification of the Nazis
? The prosecutor said no, as this was only legitimate criticism of Israel's actions
in Gaza last summer.
The real question is if the call for the destruction of Jews… falls within the boundaries of the freedom of speech definitions.
Recent terror attacks vs. Jews in Europe show words can kill.
In reality, the prosecutor's statement was worse than the post, as it legitimized anti-Semitism, yet freedom of speech
cannot be a license to kill Jews.
("The legitimization of anti-Semitism," A. Lapidot, Israel Hayom Op-ed, 16 Feb. 2015)
Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky sees Israel in the midst of a historic time,
as half of French Jewry has decided their future is not in France.
He knows the media often labels him the prophet of doom
regarding European Jewry, but there is no future for Jews in Western Europe. It can take 5 years or 20 years, but there is a strengthening of the Islamist community and a growing hatred of Israel from
the liberals. The two together make Europe a very uncomfortable place for Jews.
("There is No Future for Jews in Western Europe," Arutz 7, 17 Feb. 2015)
Final thoughts
Israel Today reports on a new survey showing that a majority of Israeli Jews,
calling themselves secular
or traditional,
want to understand the Bible, with 57% willing to commit a brief time each day to reading it.
Cal Thomas: Israel, which embraces Western values of free elections, religious tolerance and pluralism, a free press and equal rights for women is treated by…Obama and his administration as Iran should be treated. Do these people suffer from diplomatic dyslexia, or anti-Semitism? …
In Dt. 17:7, God instructs the ancient Israelites:
