The brutal Hamas attack on communities in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, is still impacting Israelis. The Israeli government has realized their communities were outgunned and undertrained to defend themselves against the murderous terrorists that attacked them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to World Israel News<\/em>, \u201cIsrael\u2019s Defense Ministry and the IDF say they\u2019ve completed the nationwide rollout of thousands of Israeli-made \u2018Arad\u2019 assault rifles to local emergency\/rapid-response teams in border-area communities [at a cost of $31 million], cementing a major shift in how Israel hardens civilian-adjacent defenses after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas massacre. \u2026 [These] Israeli-manufactured weapons-and-optics \u2018systems\u2019 for these teams, built from hard war lessons are designed to keep communities from ever again waiting helplessly for reinforcements\u201d (World Israel News<\/em>, January 8, 2026<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too many Americans do not realize that we live in a dangerous and violent world. We can thank President Trump and his team for providing a good defense along our southern border. We need the wall and other border police to guard our borders to keep us safe from those who intend to harm us. We also need to support the special police force, ICE, that is attempting to round up thousands of dangerous illegal fugitives in our country and return them to their place of origin before they illegally entered America. Many of these evil people have blood on their hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Bible, providing civilian citizens safety from evil is one of human governments chief responsibilities. Listen to what God has said, \u201cLet every [person] be subject unto [their government]. For there is no [power] but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves [punishment]. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Will you then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and you shall have praise of the same: For [the ruling authority] is [acting as the servant] of God to you for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he carries not [punishment] in vain: for he is the [servant] of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil\u201d <\/em>(Romans 13:1-4<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God has called government leaders to provide its citizens protection from evil people. This also includes the use of force. It is my firm conviction that the current policies of the Trump administration to capture illegal evil people from our communities and deporting them is in exact alignment with the Word of God and our U.S. Constitution. This policy exalts good and condemns evil. More importantly, it honors God who created all men in His image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great problem we are experiencing in America is due to the moral collapse of some of our citizens. They are calling evil, good; and good, evil. The Bible warns us, \u201cWoe unto them that call evil good and good evil\u201d<\/em> (Isaiah 5:20<\/a>). This moral failure is causing a very serious division in America that will destroy our nation. Jesus said, \u201cIf a kingdom be divided against itself, that house cannot stand\u201d<\/em> (Mark 3:24). If we do not stand on the solid rock of the holiness of God and His Word, then our house will collapse during this storm that has come to our shores (read Matthew 7:24-27<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nation of Israel is the canary in the coalmine for the nations of the world. If the leaders of our world, like Israel, do not call evil for what it is and be determined to defend its citizens from that evil \u2013 even with deadly force, then civilization will be destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The message of the holy Bible has the eternal answer to this great problem. If we do not turn to the Lord and His Word, we will have no hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer for America and the world is found in Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
