My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
because you have rejected knowledge,
I reject you from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children. – Hosea 4:6
We tend to believe what we want to believe, at least to some degree. I can’t say that I am any different. I wanted to believe that President Trump was who he said he was on the campaign trail. For a few months early last year, I wanted to believe the Q conspiracy. We all want things to get better without going through hell fighting for it. Some think that Putin really is the savior of the Russian people; and China, well China is not exactly what you might think it is either.
When I first heard that Israel was not the friend in the Middle East that I had been taught by my evangelical pastors, I wanted to believe that they were wrong. They were anti-Semitic. We need to bless Israel or we will be cursed. That is what I was taught by my pastor at the Community Bible Church where I was baptized in 2002. That was what all of the evangelical pastors were teaching. I wanted to believe they were right.
I came across some things in the past couple weeks or so that have caused me to conclude that we are witnessing the most amazing deception I have ever seen or read about, at least to date.
We need to identify the Enemy because, if we do not know who our Enemy is, we lose. Sitting still and waiting is not an option. Doing that will only increase the chances the Enemy wins, and maybe in the short run, it does anyway. But maybe it is not supposed to win, yet. Maybe we still have a chance to put things off, at least for a few more years. If we miss that chance, our children and grandchildren can point the finger at us and ask us why, if we knew this was happening, we did nothing.
We have been very well conditioned to keep our mouths shut about one of our enemies. Even so, this enemy still feels the need to push legislation that flies in the face of our 1st amendment right of free speech.
SB1 Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act of 2019 was the very first bipartisan bill introduced in the Senate after the government shutdown was temporarily stayed for 3 weeks, not only that, it passed 77-23 with only Senator Rand Paul to slow it down with his dissent. Apparently, nothing else was as important as this bill, which makes it illegal to criticize Israel. If you want to do business with the US government you must sign a loyalty oath in all 50 states. Did anyone hear about this? No? I thought so.
