The modern nation of Israel recently celebrated its 76th birthday. Unlike previous years of great fanfare and rejoicing, this year’s celebration was marred by great sorrow and fear. The 2024 celebration occurred while the Jewish nation was at war with Iran and its proxy terrorist groups in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. This celebration was preceded by Iran’s first direct attack upon Israel with more than 350 powerful missiles. Israel celebrated the victory over this attack with the destruction of 99 percent of these missiles. However, Israelis realize that this bold attack by Iran marks a new era of concern for the future of Israel and its people.

The Israelis also realize due to the deceptive and liberal news media, they are in a public relations war with the entire world. And to further complicate matters, the United Nations membership, including the United States, are condemning Israel for defending itself against those who are aiming to destroy the Jewish nation. The world has chosen to make Hamas and the Palestinians the victims, while Israel is being viewed as the perpetrator of genocide.

For centuries, the Jewish people have had to endure lies about them, motivated by Satan, who is fueling the world’s hatred. Once again, they are facing a world that is against them and is calling for their annihilation.

However, the greatest pain that Israelis are facing is the betrayal of their historic friend and ally, the United States. Since the beginning of the modern state of Israel, the Israelis have had no better ally and friend than the United States of America. That friendship reached its pinnacle while President Donald Trump was in office. However, that strong bond turned to sorrow with the new anti-Israel policies of President Joe Biden.

After the painful and deadly attack by Hamas upon Israel on October 7, 2023, Israelis received the immediate verbal support of President Joe Biden. However, in sharp contrast, this was followed by an avalanche of false accusations and condemnations of Israel and its quest to use military force to destroy Hamas. This wicked military terrorist organization and its forces were guilty of the heinous crimes committed against Israel on October 7, 2023.

The U.S. is joining the world in calling for Israel to halt its war against Hamas, without demanding Hamas to immediately surrender the Israeli hostages. The U.S. demands that Israel not attack the southernmost point in Gaza, Rafah. Israel knows this is where the remaining forces of Hamas are located.

Israel is refusing to halt its war against Hamas and has begun its invasion of Rafah. As a result, the Biden administration has halted shipments of military armaments that are desperately needed by Israel to accomplish its mission. This move has been met with great opposition by many Americans.

On May 12, 2024, The Jewish Press released an open letter written by 80 retired U.S. military leaders in support of Israel. The letter reads, “Given our experience as retired American military leaders, we are very concerned about the security impacts of increasingly strained U.S.-Israel ties as Israel becomes a growing source of domestic division. We therefore feel compelled to declare that a strong Israel is vital to the United States national security, and it is imperative that America unequivocally stand by this indispensable ally.

“Amid surging antisemitism in America and the world, following the largest one-day loss of innocent Jewish life since the Holocaust, U.S. support for the only Jewish state should be clear, unwavering, and not conditioned. The benefits of this partnership for the American people and this important region are many, and too valuable, to forsake.

“America must support Israel as it restores its security, shattered on October 7, against Iran and its terrorist proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen that all seek to destroy the Jewish state. These forces are also enemies of the United States and everything we stand for. This Iranian-backed axis of terror, as well as other adversaries and allies around the world, are watching closely to see whether the United States will stand by one of its closest allies fighting in self-defense, even when the going gets tough.

“Against these barbaric enemies, Israel stands on the front lines of the fight for civilization, the lone stable, democratic American ally in a critical, yet tumultuous, region. Israel is a visceral part of the West with its liberal democracy, ethnically diverse population, and support for individual rights. Even in facing adversaries who respect neither the laws of war nor human life, we believe Israel has fought in accordance with the laws of armed conflict.

“Outside the United States, Israel arguably has the most innovative economy in the world. It is a leader in nearly all the key technologies that will determine whether the global balance of power in the 21st-century continues to favor U.S.-led forces of freedom and democracy.

“Israel also has one of the most capable militaries and intelligence services in the world, to America’s benefit. Our militaries work hand in glove, sharing intelligence and military lessons, and co-developing cutting-edge defense technologies. More than any other American ally, Israel has always sought to defend itself by itself. Still, U.S. forces recently helped defend Israel against an Iranian onslaught. Israel’s military and intelligence services have also often protected U.S. soldiers and citizens and provided critical intelligence.

“Israel has traditionally been the source of overwhelming bipartisan support. So, it should remain. We can disagree, as all allies do, but signs of public division only embolden the forces of violence, instability, and extremism that threaten both America and Israel. When we stand together, however, peace and regional stability become possible.

“In these challenging times, we reaffirm our friendship and bond with the State of Israel—and urge all Americans to stand by our close friend and partner” (The Jewish Press, May 12, 2024).

It is apparent that the Biden administration is doing everything it can to oppose Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government. Biden is working behind the scenes in Israel to foment a deep division in that country which will oust Netanyahu and elect a more liberal government that can be manipulated by the liberal U.S. policies. There is evidence that U.S. taxpayers’ funds are being used to pay the radical anti-government demonstrators in Israel. (See photo on this page.) Furthermore, this liberal U.S. administration shows it support for the enemies of Israel while it wants to tie Israel’s hands and make it vulnerable to those who want to wipe the Jewish nation off the face of the earth.

The U.S is now acting more like an enemy of Israel, rather than its friend and ally. In the three terms of the Democrat administrations of President Barak Obama and President Joe Biden, the U.S. has begun to subtly change its relationship with Israel. Do not listen to what these presidents have said about Israel. Look at their actions and policies. These administrations have made the enemies of Israel the allies of the U.S. They have made Israel the new enemy. This is clearly illustrated in their support of the evil regime of Iran, which has consistently declared for more than five decades that their Islamic leadership is committed to the complete annihilation of the Jewish nation of Israel. This was clearly illustrated with the direct attack of Iran upon Israel a few weeks ago.

The most fatal flaw of the current U.S. administration’s policies is the attempt to join the world in demanding Israel to give up a large portion of their Promised Land and Jerusalem for the creation of a Palestinian terrorist state. The nations of the Middle East have demonstrated for decades that they are determined to destroy the Jewish state of Israel. Israel currently refuses to give in to these international demands because they view this as suicide. Furthermore, the Palestinians on the West Bank have verbalized their support for Hamas.

The U.S. and the entire world are at war with Israel over a tiny piece of property that God gave to the Jewish people in an everlasting covenant 4,000 years ago (Genesis 17:7-8). In essence, those who oppose and curse Israel will be opposed and cursed by God (Genesis 12:3). In an amazing passage in Jeremiah 30, the Lord communicated to Israel that He would not destroy Israel (Jeremiah 30:11) but would terminate all the nations who attack or oppose His people in the last days (Jeremiah 30:16).

Finally, in Jeremiah 30:22-24, God said to Israel, “And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.”

God has promised that any nation who opposes the Jewish occupation of the holy city of Israel will be crushed by Him (Zechariah 12:3). God has declared that any military attack against Israel and Jerusalem will be “smitten” by Him (Zechariah 12:4). Speaking of these last days, the Lord has warned, “I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem” (Zechariah 12:9).

It is not an accident that in the last few months President Biden’s policies against Israel are bringing a powerful response from God. Look at all the natural disasters that are taking place in the U.S. – violent record-breaking storms producing flooding, hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes. These storms are destroying American homes, farms, factories, schools, etc. At some point this could cause the collapse of the insurance agencies in the U.S., driving up insurance premiums beyond what is affordable.

All that is happening is the hand of God fulfilling His promises of judgments (plagues) upon those who oppose Him and His will for His people, Israel. Psalm 148:8 declares that “fire, and hail, snow, and vapor; stormy wind [fulfill] his word.”

Dear friends, we are just beginning to feel the hand of God’s judgment upon America. He is calling us to repentance. He is calling us to submit to Him and His divine will. He is saying to the leaders of the world, ^“Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him” (Psalm 2:10-12). If we do not repent, America will be crushed by God!

I t is time for the saints of God to wake up to the reality that our days on this earth are numbered. Be ready for the shout that will take us out!

The Fall of Sudan to Evil Nations

While the rest of the world is focused upon the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, there is a critical development happening in the African nation of Sudan. Russia, China, and Iran are attempting to seize control of Sudan. They are attracted to the gold and minerals in Sudan. They also want to establish a key maritime base at Port Sudan. This will allow this evil coalition to control the critical shipping lanes in the Red Sea. Also, it would complete Iran’s strategic encirclement of Israel. Iran already controls Israel’s northern borders with Lebanon and Syria. It controls its southern borders with Yemen. Therefore, Sudan would help to encircle Israel to the south and west.

With the inclusion of Sudan into the coalition of Russia and Iran, the end-time coalition of Gog and Magog nations is now complete. In most translations, they mention Ethiopia as a part of the coalition of nations that come against Israel in the last days (Ezekiel 38:5). However, looking at the names and locations of the ancient nations in Ezekiel’s day, it would be more accurate to say that it will be Sudan, not Ethiopia that will join Russia, Iran, and Turkey in the future battle of Gog and Magog.

Manipulation by Mass Migration Why is the Biden Administration so adamant about having an open border policy? Why has it allowed millions of illegal immigrants to infiltrate our nation’s southern border? The truth is, the liberal socialists in this country realize this is another way to destroy the old America and recreate a new America that will adopt the socialist/Islamic agenda of the New World Order. Both history and common sense tell us that an open border policy is dangerous. One of the chief responsibilities of any good and faithful leader is to defend and protect his country. The basic way to do this is to seal and control the borders to keep out the enemies who want to infiltrate to destroy and create disorder, bringing about the ultimate demise of that country.

One of the evil tactics of the New World Order is to first break down the present order of sovereign nations and all of the people’s attachment to their culture and world order. This present order was set in place by God with the judgment at the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11. The people of the world in Genesis 11 were united against God. They wanted to defy God’s order to multiply and spread out over all the earth (Genesis 1:28). In this revolt against God, they wanted to unite and create a new order that would worship other gods. The purpose of the tower was to view and chart the heavenly stars and planets and worship them (Isaiah 47:12-13). They believed that the order of the stars and planets held the secrets to life. Like all pagan cultures, they worshiped the creation rather than the Creator (Romans 1:20-23). So, God judged them and stopped their agenda. They all woke up one morning and were speaking different languages. Along with this language barrier, the people were separated from one another and formed different cultures and nations.

Now, in a similar way, the evil leadership of the world is attempting to reverse the consequences of God’s judgment at the Tower of Babel. Once again, they are worshipping the creation – “mother earth.” Furthermore, they want to reunite the people of the earth and make them one in a rebellion against God and His laws (Psalm 2). Speaking of this evil agenda, God told Daniel, “They shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another” (Daniel 2:43).

A documentary has been produced by Epoch News about the mass migration taking place at the U.S. southern border. It reveals that the U.S. government and the United Nations are encouraging, aiding, and financing the movement of millions of people traveling from South America through Mexico into the United States. This is all a part of their evil strategy to destroy the United States. When people are mixed with different languages and customs, while worshiping other gods, it will destroy the sovereignty of that nation. This is an ancient tactic that was used by the godless and ruthless leadership of the Assyrians 2700 years ago. After the defeat of the 10 northern tribes in Israel, the Assyrians deported most of the Jewish population and imported various Gentile people groups to weaken the region of northern Israel. Their plan worked. The result was the mingling of the Gentiles and Jews to create the Samaritan people, who were part Jewish and part Gentile. It was Satan’s attempt to weaken the nations (Isaiah 14:12) and destroy the message of God coming from His chosen people, Israel.

As believers in Jesus Christ and His ambassadors, we need to be aware of the deceptive agenda of our evil leaders. Please join me in prayer for our nation and churches. As spiritual watchmen on the walls of America, we need to sound the warning of these developments.
