Focus Point #2

Well, here I am again as promised with another focus point that we must keep in mind as we read and study the Word and observe world events.

It is imperative that we keep our eyes on the Lord. I think most of us who are believers love and trust our president. I think he knows the Lord and seeks His guidance every day, but when he made the statement that we would "win the war on terrorism," that might have been the politically correct thing to say, but biblically he's on shaky ground.

What with the millions of Muslims (hundreds of thousands in every major country in the world) and I realize they are not all radical in their hatred for Israel and America, but when push comes to shove, I have no doubt as to which God they will align themselves with. For sure it won't be Jehovah! They won't even acknowledge He exists. But no big deal. I don't think there is such a being as "Allah" either.

I've often asked myself - what has led up to this (I think) never ending war? In W.W.2 our military defeated Germany and Japan. In Vietnam our military defeated the Viet Cong. Well, they could have if the politicians would have stayed out of it and the same goes for the Korean "conflict."

Those wars ended. We could tell when it was over. But not this one. What city, what country do we invade to destroy this insidious, demonic agenda that says "There is no room on this earth for the Jewish people, they must be destroyed?" Isn't it strange, for the first time in history we have a political system that's based on Atheism? Who? Communist Russia. And for the first time in history we have not one country but many who espouse not Atheism, but a system that's built on and operates as anti-Christ! (I John 2:18; 2:22; 4:3 and II John verse 7)

The war on terrorism is not political, it's spiritual. And the major combatants are not Israel versus Hamas and Hezbolla. It's not Iran versus the USA. It's a spiritual conflict. It's God versus Satan himself! That's why Paul says we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Our enemy is evil - it's Satan and his demon army. And our weapons are not physical. We won't win this (no, not never) with rockets, guns or any other new invention. Our only hope of victory is our Hero, our Champion, our One and Only Celebrity....our precious, victorious Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

It should be then, no surprise for us to observe the insidious "bed partners" - atheistic Communist Russia and anti-Christ Iran, Iraq, Syria, Jordan and every other nook and cranny Islamic cell blocks around the world.

Until the next time.

Blessings,

Bro. Bob
