Destroying the Foundations: Tyranny (Force)
The Bible is clear that the destroyer in our world is Satan and his demons (John 10:10, Revelation 9:11). His main vehicle for destruction is force, which is human tyranny in many forms.
The most obvious method of destruction is unjust war–such as religiously-tyrannical Iran firing 300 missiles at the sovereign state of Israel last weekend. Thank God that through the prayers of millions, Israeli defense, and the support of other nations, little damage was done.
It was a grim reminder that evil tyranny is alive and well. And it’s not just afflicting Israel.
A spirit of tyranny (force) is also rising in America to destroy our godly foundations.
Don’t Give Up on an American Renewal
I believe that the latter part of the 20th century and first of the 21st could be described one day as the “Great Turning Away” of the Western World from God, faith, freedom and the blessings that flow from Bible-based nations and civilization.
It will be lamented as one of the most foolish and tragic rejections of truth in the history of humankind. Though Europe is further down that destructive path, America is not far behind.
But don’t give up yet on another American renewal. Nearly 70% of U.S. voters still believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Truth About Israel, Gaza, and Hamas
It’s amazing that Israel, a nation of only 8,000 square miles and nine million people (same as New Jersey) sits at the center of world attention. There’s only one reasonable explanation:
God.
I visited Israel in 1974 and what I saw was life-changing. The history of the land, walking in the footsteps of Jesus, and sensing that it stood in the center of a global bullseye, made it the most unique place on earth.
Keep your eyes on Israel. And don’t believe the lies about the Jews, Gaza, and Hamas. Read More
