Whodunit or Whorunzit?
June
2007
To
my Friends who watch the Middle East news
and those who should,
Just over a week ago in a Jerusalem Post
article on the Fatah-Islam terror eruption
in the Palestinian camp in Lebanon, the
author presented his analysis that it
is those miserable Syrians that
are behind the blow-up and gave his reasons.
He could have been right. But maybe
he wasn't? Or maybe only half right!
And we have as well, boundless insights
by the "experts" into the dire daily devastation
that is Iraq. It is really Iran
we are told that is behind that whole disintegration
to any semblance of sanity.
And most certainly, as opinion goes, it
was both Iran and Syria that
fueled the ferocity of the Hezbollah missile
barrage that terrorized Israel's entire
north last year.
And of course, to others, it is Al
Qaeda that is currently pulling
strings in Gaza, as well as in Iraq,
as well as everywhere else across the globe,
to undermine the stability that once was.
Like it or not, the "good old days" have
now crawled in bed with the Ice Age!
All of this finger pointing is only partly
true. These desperate demons of darkness
probably did have a hand in
it. Maybe even a whole arm!
But really, what does the global media know
about a Creator in Genesis 1:3 who "rebuked
the darkness and there was light" --
let alone reporting it?
What does CNN know of "loving
the darkness rather than the light" of
Jn 3:19, let alone declaring it?
What does SBS understand of "putting
darkness for light and for light darkness"
of Isa 5:20, let alone identifying it?
What does the BBC comprehend of "loving
evil rather than good" of
Ps 52:3, let alone exposing it?
What do Reuters, AFP, NY Times and all the
rest sense of the stinging reality of "seeking
the good and not evil" of
Amos 5:14, let alone advocating it?
My friends, the mini-minds of humanism know
nothing except cornering a culprit, because
in their low-level space suits, there is
nothing that can possibly fly higher than
themselves!
Indeed, I do recommend keeping good track
of how things are playing out in the global
arena, because in the end of the day, a
tad of wisdom will probably help us in keeping
out of harm's way. But the grand Plan of
it all is that light
and darkness, good and evil,
will battle it out until the very end.
That is the real battle that will not be
sidetracked all that much, even when a hornet's
nest in the haunts of ancient Babylon happens
to be stirred up.
Play with conspiracy culprits if you will,
and there will be those on the world stage
who will probably play the game with you.
Certainly there are always pawns to pull
the trigger, but there is only One Ancient
of Days with a Plan. Watch the Plan,
not the pawns.
So with that filter of the facts, let's
check what's happening on the world scene:
On Israel's currently corrupt leadership:
With a fiery confrontation now in Gaza,
the politicians seem to finally be semi-successful
in pulling themselves up by their bootstraps.
But this is only a replay of ancient Israel
in Isaiah 3:4-6.
"I
will make boys their officials; mere children
will govern them.
People will oppress each other--man against
man, neighbor against neighbor.
The young will rise up against the old,
the base against the honorable.
A man will seize one of his brothers at
his father's home and say:
You have a cloak, you will be our leader;
Take charge of this heap of ruins."
On Iraq (alias Babylon II):
Is this a realistic semi-rerun of Isa. 21:9
which actually happened the first time in
538BC?
"Look,
here comes a man in a chariot with a team
of horses.
And he gives back the answer: Babylon has
fallen, has fallen!
All the images of its gods lie shattered
on the ground."
Certainly the full aftermath of Iraq is
hardly over yet, but Scripture seems to
be playing out once again in that biblically
demonic capital of the ages.
Interestingly, there is a parallel prophesy
with nearly identical text in Rev. 18:3
for yet one more Babylon in
yet another day. (See a more complete insight
into this in my latest book, "Who
Told You that You Were Naked?").
On Al Qaeda: The Christian Science Monitor
came out with a headline, "Is Lebanon
facing a 'new breed' of Al Qaeda?" on
May 24, 2007. Excerpts:
"…Much
like other Al Qaeda-inspired militants,
the Fatah al-Islam fighters have strapped
explosives and detonators to themselves
and appear determined to keep fighting until
the end.
Saad Ghorayeb, the analyst, warned that
the environment in Lebanon and the region
is conducive to the emergence of other groups
that share Fatah al-Islam's militant ideology.
'If this group is wiped out, another will
emerge,' she says. 'These small groups
have the ability to breed and mutate, and
are very difficult to completely crush.'"
On paramilitary training camps unabashedly
spread across America: These in-full-view
compounds are fully protected by their "democratic
rights" like Islamberg in upstate NY.
If you look up nothing else on this report,
you've got to see this one! Click
on: Islamberg
in Upstate NY If Dr.Williams'
report does not come up immediately from
the CFP Homepage, click on "Printer Friendly"
in the top row of options. These are the
unhidden camps, not to mention the added
myriads of clandestine cells across the
USA.
And there's a related URL on a poll of the
mindset of young Muslims in the US (those
of whom it was hoped would become democratized
moderates): Peering
through a glass half-full, darkly from
Townhall.com.
On Iran (ancient Persia): We
see her end-of-days scenario in Ezek 38:4b-7a,
in teaming up with Prince Gog:
"…And
bring you out with your whole army -- your
horses, your horsemen fully armed and a
great horde with large and small shields,
brandishing their swords. Persia,
Cush and Put will be with them, all with
shields and helmets, also Gomer with all
its troops and Beth Togarmah from the far
north with all its troops -- the many nations
with you. Get ready, be prepared…"
With a grand finale in Ezek 38:18 and on
into chapter 39, it looks like the Ancient
of Days has "been there, planned that".
But there could be a few other fireworks
before that act comes off.
Like Hezbollah and Hamas:
INN.com notes that in an article:
Hamas Calls on Followers to Murder Israelis
"Hamas
issued an official call on Sunday night
asking its followers to murder Israeli Jews
wherever possible. Those who follow
the call would be fulfilling the Muslim
command of Jihad, according to Hamas.
The statement released by Hamas asks Muslims
to take whatever weapons they manage to
obtain and to kill Jews wherever they find
them, without hesitation. 'The time
has come,' the group said, 'to kill the
occupier.'
And there is one more URL of interest that
you might look up by translators Marcus
and Crook of Palestinian Media Watch re:
Current
Hamas Ideology and Strategies
But when all is said and done, we have a
divine insurance policy against all these
virulent efforts like the "immovable
rock"
verses of Zec 12:1-3 and the "Then
the Lord my God will come and all His holy
ones with Him,"
pledges of Zec 14:2-5. We've seen
that pair of promises a few times before,
but actually they happen to be closer now
than the last time I mentioned them!
So whatever comes off that's a bit ugly-like,
we just need to have enough sense to huddle
behind a Big Abba, and it doesn't matter
a whit whodunit!
Abba knows, and whoeverdunit is gonna get
it.
And that should be good enough to knock
down those conspiracy bugs with fly spray!
Blessings and shalom,
