Sites To Read

http://www.understandthetimes.org    I have often referred you to the site where the LightHouseResearch.com tells of the emerging church teachings. I now want to refer you to the link at the first of this page. It is a site that publishes articles about things happening in our world that Christians should be aware of. It is easy reading, but gives the reader much more to search out. 

Here is an article from the recent newsletter of Understanding the Times:

September 27 - The US joins the world


Article: Israel And The Last Days

US President Barack Obama last week firmly aligned his administration with the Arab world, joining the rest of the international community in its position against the Jewish State of Israel.

Addressing some 140 world leaders gathered in New York for the 64th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, Obama condemned as an illegal "occupation" Israel's presence in its ancestral homeland. And he roundly rejected the right of Jews to live and build communities in the hill country they believe was given to them by their God.

But while, according to the American leader, Israel's people have no right to possess, dwell in and govern the land of their fathers, the United States must insist that Israel "respect the legitimate claims and rights of the Palestinians."

Obama's position indicates his acceptance and intention to champion the Arab narrative - which insists that the "Palestinians" have lived in the land "from time immemorial" and have the right to be formed as a nation in it.

He has thus rejected the Jewish narrative - which holds that this was the Land of Canaan given to Abraham, then Isaac, then Jacob and then Jacob's descendants; that the nation took root here nearly 4000 years ago, growing and developing in this land and ruling as sovereigns over it; that following the Jews' expulsion from the land they kept burning for two millennia the fire of their intended return; that they are not a foreign implant, not a colony, not in the land in order to assuage stricken western consciences following the Holocaust; that the Palestinian Arabs have no national history - neither in this land nor anywhere else, and that the creation of an Arab state in the historical Jewish homeland constitutes land theft and poses an existential threat to Israel.

Critics slammed Obama's speech as the most anti-Israel message ever delivered by a president of the United States. America's former ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, slammed Obama's address as "the most radical anti-Israel speech I can recall any president making."

Folks, this is getting serious. The time when many armies will come against Israel and God will intervene on their behalf is very near. And most of us as Christians believe that before that time Jesus will come for His own, so the time of the Rapture is so near that we dare not be ready.  Our nation is rapidly entering into the One World Community, and Tony Blair just well may be the leader of this community. We all need to read what is currently going on in our world. We cannot afford to be ignorant of the signs of the times. Some say that they just want to be ready and wait on Jesus to come. They don't want to know what is happening in our world. I think this is wrong. As we see the times growing closer, we are spurred to tell the gospel of Jesus even more to everyone we know. We must continue working until Jesus takes us out of this world. None can afford to sit idle.
