Thirty of our best warriors shot down in flames! How should we react? We grieved the loss, but why did it happen? Was it just a lucky shot by the Taliban? Was it God’s fault? Is it ridiculous to consider God in this tragedy? Does the Bible ever apply in real life situations today?
Much has been written about the excessive personal credit taken by President Obama reporting Osama bin Laden’s death. (Compare with President Bush on the capture of Saddam Hussein). We know it was Navy Seals Team 6 that got Osama. How quickly the same team makes headlines again, this time in the spectacular loss of 22 of their own.
There is an eerily appropriate comparison in the Bible when Joshua led Israel into the Promised Land. Jericho fell without a shot, through the fear of Yehovah, as He gave supernatural victory. However one Israelite, named Achan, kept some of the spoil that God had banned. Achan coveted the gold and silver and hid it in his tent. You discover in the reading of Joshua 7 that Israel lost 36 men in their next battle against a weaker city, Ai.
Joshua’s response was to fall on his face before God inquiring what happened and God answered: Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff. Joshua 7:11
I see this parallel with our loss of 30 troops, including 22 from Seal Team 6. We should repent and ask God what happened. Setting aside the literal idea of a Seal stealing something from Osama’s compound, I see a major sin of personal pride in the way our President took too much personal credit. One could make the case that he stole the glory that should have been given in thanks to Yehovah God. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 16:18. Let the Holy Spirit bear witness. This is more than politics. It is also not about one speech, but a pattern of arrogance laced throughout the Obama presidency. It is about our nation’s future and the nature of leadership. Jesus was clear about His attitude: The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. Matthew 20:28
If President Obama is not re-elected, he will have no one to blame but himself.
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. Philippians 2:5-7.
Let all who follow Jesus have the same attitude Jesus had.

Destroy Israel for World Peace?
23 08 2011Al Quds Day: Dateline London, England, UK 8-21-11
Whatever happened to merry olde England? Witness the young boy holding the sign. Thanks to the Elder of Ziyon website for the picture and links regarding the Al Quds terror rally in London on Sunday 8-21-11. “It is time, Brothers and Sisters, for Al Quds to be liberated. For Islam and people of the world who wish to pray there to the one God. And we say here today to you Israel, we see your crimes and we loathe your crimes. And to us your nation does not exist, because it is a criminal injustice against humanity. We want to see Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt go to the borders and stop this now. Liberate Al Quds! March to Al Quds!” These were the words spoken by Lauren Booth (Tony Blair’s half-sister-in-law) at the Al Quds Day terror rally organised by the Islamic Human Rights Commission in London’s Trafalgar Square yesterday. She had just pledged her support for Hamas. Richard Millett
Just what exactly is Al Quds Day? Al Quds Day is an Iranian holiday created by Ayatollah Khomeini, expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people and opposing Zionism as well as Israel’s control of Jerusalem. In Iran, it is held on the last Friday of Ramadan, August 26 this year. The name al Quds is Arabic for Jerusalem and is their attempt to revise history and the Muslim claims that it was always Islamic.
Make no mistake, it is not about land or freedom or oppression. It is about Jerusalem! It is about Israel’s very right to exist as a Jewish state. The Bible is crystal clear that Jerusalem is the center of all prophetic scenarios of end time events. Jerusalem is the prize coveted by many groups and nations. The UN wants to turn it into an international city. The Vatican wants control. The Muslims want to seize it and eliminate the Jews and all memory of Israel’s existence “Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.” Psalm 83:4 NLT
There indeed is a Jerusalem DAY coming when God will complete His purpose. The prophetic timing is quite specific as seen in this verse: For behold, in those days and at that time, when I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of My people, My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have also divided up My land. Joel 3:1-2
The timing is after Israel has been regathered from the scattering (or Diaspora) to all nations. After Israel is back in the land, Yehovah will then gather the nations there to judge them because they divided His land! I highly recommend you read the rest of Joel 3 where God details exactly what and how He will do it. Jerusalem will be holy, Israel will be forgiven, the land will be fruitful, and Jerusalem will abide forever! Praise the name of the living God Yehovah and his resurrected Son Yeshua ben Yehovah, Jesus Son of God.
