Prophetic crisis: White House pressure on Israel
Against the backdrop of record cold temperatures, snow and yet another foreign policy crisis in Ukraine, the occupant of the Oval Office received a healthy dressing down by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The US president opened his meeting with a press appearance citing several crisis around the world that he and Netanyahu would be discussing. Netanyahu responded, “Iran calls openly for Israel’s destruction, so I’m sure you’ll appreciate that Israel cannot permit such a state to have the ability to make atomic bombs to achieve that goal. We just cannot be brought back again to the brink of destruction.” Then he fired another volley across the occupant’s battered foreign policy ship.
Netanyahu said, “The 20 years that have passed since Israel entered the peace process have been marked by unprecedented steps that Israel has taken to advance peace. I mean, we vacated cities in Judea and Samaria. We left entirely Gaza. We’ve not only frozen settlements, we’ve uprooted entire settlements. We’ve released hundreds of terrorist prisoners, including dozens in recent months. And when you look at what we got in return, it’s been scores of suicide bombings, thousands of rockets on our cities fired from the areas we vacated, and just incessant Palestinian incitement against Israel. So Israel has been doing its part, and I regret to say that the Palestinians haven’t.”
He continued, “Now, I know this flies in the face of conventional wisdom, but it’s the truth. And the people of Israel know that it’s the truth because they’ve been living it…Mr. President, you rightly said that Israel, the Jewish state, is the realization of the Jewish people’s self-determination in our ancestral homeland. So the Palestinians expect us to recognize a Palestinian state for the Palestinian people, a nation state for the Palestinian people. I think it’s about time they recognize a nation state for the Jewish people. We’ve only been there for 4,000 years.” While the US president tried to make light of the meeting and place extremely tough issues in with a large number of others, Netanyahu focussed the discussion.
The press conference indicated a prophetic crisis for America. The US president’s earliest policy in April of 2009 was to warn Israel that it must accept a peace agreement with the Palestinian terrorists in return for the White House preventing Iran from a nuclear weapon. Since then, the US has expanded Islam throughout the Middle East by assisting the Muslim Brotherhood and al Qaeda in creating turmoil and ousting leaders. Iran’s progress on a nuclear bomb has largely gone unabated. The world is a much more dangerous place because of the actions of this White House. Domestically, the US is faced with a weather crisis, an employment crisis, a budget and deficit crisis, and a Constitutional crisis.
In the end times, in the day of the Lord, Zechariah 12:9 says, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” The consequences of electing evil leaders is eventual destruction. The US has leadership that is directly advancing the nations that come against Israel. The warnings of the consequences are all around us, yet we as a people seem remiss to take strong action against these leaders.
