JNS poll: Israeli public believes now is the time to attack Iran’s nuclear installations

Israelis also say the Biden administration seeks to undermine Israel’s war effort, support Trump over Harris by more than 50 points.

Israelis are almost unanimous in their support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision not to coordinate the airstrike that targeted Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah with the Biden administration in advance of its commission, a new JNS poll conducted by Direct Polls show.

JNS asked, “According to reports, Israel did not coordinate with the United States in advance of it carrying out its operation to assassinate Hassan Nasrallah. Do you think it was the right decision or the wrong decision?

Eighty-three percent of respondents responded that it was the right decision. Nine percent felt it was the wrong decision. Eight percent did not know.

For the past several decades, Hezbollah ground forces and missile arsenal in Lebanon have deterred Israel from attacking Iran. Fearing that Iran would order Hezbollah to attack Israel with daily barrages of thousands of missiles and order its ground forces to invade the Galilee, Israel delayed acting directly against Iran’s nuclear and missile installations.

Finally, JNS asked which candidate for U.S. president Israelis believe will be more sympathetic to Israel’s interests. Sixty-five percent of respondents said Republican candidate Donald Trump would be more sympathetic to Israel’s interests. Just 13% of Israelis believe that Democratic candidate Kamala Harris would be more supportive of Israel. Fifteen percent of respondents said that both would be equally sympathetic to Israeli interests and 7% said neither would be sympathetic to Israel’s interests.

The results of the JNS poll align with results of one commissioned by Channel 14and conducted last week by Direct Polls. That survey, carried out the day before Israel’s elimination of Nasrallah, asked the public whether they believed that the U.S. has weakened or strengthened Israel in its struggle to remove military threats to its national security from the south and the north of the country.

Fifty-seven percent of respondents said the U.S. has weakened Israel. Thirty-five percent responded that the U.S. has strengthened Israel. Eight percent didn’t know.

The thrust of both polls indicate that Israelis believe that the Biden administration does not share or support Israel’s war goals and are concerned that the administration will use the lame-duck period
between the Nov. 5 presidential election and the inauguration of the next president on Jan. 20, 2025, to undermine Israel’s capacity to win the war.

Direct Polls questioned a sample of 520 adults (aged 18 and older) representing Israel’s general population.

JNS asked the public whether Israel should now seize the momentum it has gained through its recent strikes on Hezbollah to attack Iran before the U.S. elections. Sixty-two percent of the public answered affirmatively. Twenty-six percent said that Israel should abstain from using its momentum to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities ahead of the U.S. elections. Twelve percent said they did not know.

This time it is different, there seems to be a resolve that was never in Israel before to do what they feel they must do to protect themselves. Next step could be the nuclear facilities in Iran. It will have to be done sooner or later. Later may be too late. God be with Israel. Protect and guide them according to your will. Amen Rh

‘Jesus Met Us There’: Massive Revival Moment as 10,000 Seek Jesus at University of Arkansas Benjamin Gill

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

In the fourth major collegiate revival in less than a month, thousands of students gathered at the University of Arkansas on Thursday night to seek Jesus Christ and find salvation in His name.

Unite US reports that 10,000 students from 67 different universities gathered in Bud Walton Arena.

“Jesus met us there,” the ministry said in an Instagram post. “We were blown away by His presence in the room and how it carried over to baptisms. It was a night we’ll never forget.” 

One young man shared his powerful testimony right before getting baptized at the event, saying, “I spent a lot of years running from God. I just came to Jesus about five weeks ago, but I got caught up in, I’ll just say it, cocaine and alcohol. I had a lot of really near-death experiences and I think Jesus had his hand on my life because I should not be here.”

Evangelist Tonya Prewett reports that, so far, over 2,000 salvations and over 800 baptisms have taken place through the Unite US campus events over the past year.

“I believe this is the generation that will usher in the greatest move of God we’ve ever seen, and we’re seeing that,” Prewett said during a recent podcast. “And I do believe what we had in the fall and the spring of this past year is just the beginning. Greater things are coming, and I feel for the end of this year and leading into 2025, something greater is coming. God is doing something across this nation… I do believe this move of God on college campuses is ushering in a greater awakening.” Praise God! Hoping this move of God spreads across the nation. Rh

Christian Perspective on the 2024 Election

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

First off, Christians have a moral duty to vote and to vote Biblical values.  Pastors or church members who say we should not get involved in elections are checking out of society.  Governmental decisions directly impact all areas of life.  When the Church is silent, evil and greedy power hungry politicians are free to destroy our country.  We must vote!   Look at the moral issues of today.  Are not Pastors and church members supposed to speak into the immorality that we are witnessing on a daily basis?  Yes!

As a Christian there are certain issues I can not vote for.  What does the Bible say?  Does your candidate or party platform endorse these anti God issues?  If so, the choice is simple.  You can’t as a Christian vote for these people.  Case closed.

Nonstarters for me are, abortion, transgender surgeries, homosexual marriage, porn in our school libraries, promoting the gender dystopia in our schools or society, lgbtq+ and since breaking the law is sin, open borders.  We cannot allow immorality and we can’t permit our country to be overrun by people who want to be in America and not be Americans. These are the moral issues only, not to mention high taxation, inflation, energy independence, rule of law and other issues that are more governmental instead of moral.

Christian cannot praise Jesus on Sunday and vote for immorality on Tuesday.  Case closed.  Tell it to Jesus

One candidate and party has embraced all the immoral issues that I could never accept.  So not voting for her or anyone else identified with “that party” is an easy decision.

Now comes the hard part.  The other candidate and party has softened its commitment to life, while still professing a stance of support for the Pro Life position. Going so far as to blame Pro Life supporters for losses in the 2022 midterms. Not good.  Having a fund raiser with a pro gay and lgbtq group. Again a horrible look. Hmm that doesn’t look or sound very good.  This candidate is very good on Israel, energy, ending wars, the border and the economy.  This candidate also appointed many conservative judges including three on the Supreme Court. See the conundrum.  The moving away from traditional Biblical values is frightening to me.  But in the final analysis a candidate that loves America and wants the best for its people and is pro freedom of speech and religion is a big plus.  

In the final analysis one Party and candidate is an absolute NO for moral and ethical reasons.  The other Party and candidate have major flaws, yes major, but is by far the best hope for America at this time. Do I wish a more conservative Godly man or woman were running? Absolutely!!  Is he going to save America? No! Only a true spirit of repentance, and a return to our Godly roots will be the only hope for us.  We are on the brink of destruction.  This is the most important election in our history.  Will we still be a nation after this election, yes but what kind?

I will vote for Trump with my nose pinched and hope for better days.  Which quite honestly I have done for almost all Presidential elections in my lifetime. The saddest part of this composition is the fact that if close to one-half of our country truly will vote for the democratic “Demonic Duo”, we have lost the status of “A Christian Nation”.  

The truth is we are not voting for a Pastor, but the leader of the free world!  A Samson who takes the jaw bone of a donkey and destroys the enemies of the United States of America.  

If my people…will return to me saith the Lord! 2 Chronicles 7:14. Rh

DAUGHTER OF LIES

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

by Mario Murillo | Sep 17, 2024 | Mario Murillo Ministries | 0 comments

This is a prophetic warning. It is the first time the Holy Spirit has ever compelled me to prophesy over an election.

The first words I heard were, “Daughter of Lies.” The second words I heard were, “There is no coming back from this.”

The Lord took me to 1 Samuel 8. Israel wanted a king. God told Samuel to solemnly warn the people that they were choosing disaster.

1 Samuel 8:7-9, And the Lord said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also. Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.”

Why was the term “Daughter of lies” spoken to me? This allegory explains it:

“We have an employee that we hired 3 1/2 years ago. She was given tasks but did not complete a single one of them. She had a performance review and failed it, so she backstabbed her elderly supervisor.

“Now she is demanding a promotion in November, but she refuses to interview for the new position. She promises that if she gets the promotion, she will do all of the tasks she had failed to do before. But she won’t do them now in order to force us to give her the promotion.

“What should we do?”

Sincerely, the USA.

Here is what Samuel told Israel that choosing an evil leader was going to cost them:

It will cost them their sons and daughters.

1 Samuel 8:10-11, So Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who asked him for a king. And he said, “This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots.”

It will bring wars.

1 Samuel 8:12-13, “He will appoint captains over his thousands and captains over his fifties, he will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers, cooks, and bakers.”

He will take the best.

14-15, “And he will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants. He will take a tenth of your grain and your vintage and give it to his officers and servants.”

He will steal the productivity of the workers for his own enrichment.

16-17, “And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men, and your donkeys, and put them to his work. He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his bondservants.”

You will lose the voice of God.

18-19, “And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.” Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, “No, but we will have a king over us,”

It is all about globalism: They will lose their unique identity.

20 “that we also may be like all the nations, and that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.”

The same list of woes applies to us if we elect Harris.

The Holy Spirit is warning you that Kamala will cost you your children’s future.

God is warning you that she will take us into wars.

The government will take the best. Her socialism will impoverish American workers to enrich the ruling elite.

But here is the heart of the matter:

Disaster was embedded in the utterly insane desire of the Israel to “be like other nations.” Likewise for Harris—it is all about globalism.

Satan knew that Israel’s uniqueness was the Law of God and the presence of God. To be like other nations spelled doom.

In the same way, Christianity causes American exceptionalism. That is why the Left fights so bitterly to destroy our Christian roots.

20,000,000 illegal immigrants were brought here by design. The plan is to destroy our freedom and our identity as a Christian nation. The plan is to herd us into obscurity.

But here is the ultimate question: What does it mean for a Christian to vote for Harris?

That is the most chilling part of this prophetic warning. God left the worst for last. After Samuel took great pains to show them the calamity their choice would bring, He gave them the ultimate warning:

18, “And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the Lord will not hear you in that day.”

God is asking you a question. How can you possibly believe you will emerge unscathed if you violate everything the Word of God teaches, and then vote for her anyway?

I wholeheartedly agree with every word Mario wrote. This is a moment to save America and to also save the world. Because for the One World Government to rule, America must be destroyed, or at the best weakened beyond recognition. Rh

‘Every Election Is Crucial’: Northern Virginia Pastor Calls Christians to Vote with Biblical Values

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Leesburg, VA – In a sermon Sunday, Pastor Gary Hamrick of Cornerstone Chapel urged Christians to rise above political apathy and vote with unwavering adherence to biblical values. Addressing the congregation and live-stream audience, Pastor Hamrick sought to send a warning and a challenge beyond his northern Virginia church. 

CBN News Senior Correspondent Tara Mergener has the interview.

Hamrick’s annual election sermons, which attracts viewers worldwide and generate upwards of A million views online, reflect his influence within the Christian community. 

In the sermon, Hamrick highlighted statistics that show out of approximately 90 million Christians in the United States, 40 million are expected to stay home on Election Day, and 15 million are not even registered to vote. He attributes this apathy to a misplaced focus on candidates’ personalities rather than their policies and principles. Furthermore, he pointed to a broader issue within the church: many churches have become silent on critical social and political issues, leaving their congregations without guidance on how to navigate these complex times.

“The stakes are too high for us to ignore,” Pastor Hamrick said. “Voting is not just a privilege; it’s a duty. It’s our responsibility to be good stewards of the freedom and values we’ve been entrusted with.” He drew parallels to biblical stewardship, referencing the parable of the two servants to emphasize that just as the master entrusted his possessions to his servants, so too has God entrusted Christians with the privilege of living in a free country and participating in its governance.

Hamrick condemned the cultural narrative that frames moral and social issues as purely political and criticized the trend of churches retreating from addressing these issues from the pulpit, which he believes contrubutes to widespread confusion and inaction among Christians. “Churches have gone silent on these crucial matters,” he said. “It’s time for pastors to step up and guide their flocks with biblical clarity and courage.”

Regarding the upcoming election, Pastor Hamrick addressed a range of critical concerns, including judicial appointments, the sanctity of life, support for Israel, biological sex, and religious freedom. He expressed disappointment over the lack of a truly pro-life candidate, noting that neither major candidate fully aligns with pro-life values. Nevertheless, he encouraged voters to evaluate candidates based on policies that align closest with their biblical beliefs, even if no candidate meets all criteria perfectly.

He also gave practical advice for those looking to engage in the political process. He urged church members to be registered, become election officers, and, most importantly, engage in prayer. “We need to pray for our candidates, our country, and trust in God’s sovereignty,” he said. He reminded his congregation of the importance of faith in the political process, asserting that no matter who occupies the White House, God remains on the throne.

“Christians must rise above apathy and engage in the electoral process with a focus on their values. “Every election is crucial,” he emphasized. “We cannot afford to sit this one out. Vote according to your values, and trust in the Lord’s plan.”

How I pray we could have 10 thousand Pastors with a vision to encourage their congregations to vote Biblical values. That would transform our nation. Rh

INGRASSIA: The Art Of The Choke: How Kamala Harris’ Dumpster Fire Of A CNN Interview Indicates That She’s Not Presidential Material

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

By Paul Ingrassia 

The takeaway of any honest viewer of Kamala Harris’ much-lambasted interview with CNN’s Dana Bash this past week is that of someone overwhelmed – burdened, one might say – by the stresses of campaigning, and for that reason, wholly unsuited to the office that she seeks.  Even though the Left would beg to differ, one can still level a criticism against a so-called “person of color” that is not based on race or gender, but rather, stands alone as an objective assessment of the candidate’s performance.

In terms of conviction, Harris cut the opposite of the image of a confident leader.  The fact that she needed Tim Walz with her in tow, who has been needled by the press as “Kamala’s comfort dog” – someone who is supposed to provide assurance for a candidate palpably in over her head, is hardly the look of a strong, independent woman.  Rather than be the change candidate, the impression was a candidate ill-equipped in every possible way to take on the solemn and sober duties of the highest political office in the land.  Not a good look for a president.

Kamala’s uncertainty began with her non-responses, which invariably devolved into “word salads” of jumbled and confused thoughts, decoupled from specifics on policy or anything resembling a novel or coherent line of reasoning.  This was immediately on display when Bash pressed Harris on her pivot on several policies, especially fracking.  In 2020, as a Democratic candidate for president, Harris ran on a platform of banning the practice unilaterally.  Her change now is obviously born of political expediency, plain and simple.  Everyone knows this gambit: she is desperately trying to pander to crucial voters in Pennsylvania and other rustbelt states, whose economies so heavily depend on the oil and gas industries.  Only a fool would deny that incontestable fact.  So too would a fool believe Kamala at her word, and think she has come to a genuine change of heart on that issue.

Luckily, most people aren’t fools. This was evident by the downward trends in prediction markets and major pollsters, which had Kamala Harris riding the wave of a manufactured “honeymoon period” narrative in the weeks after Joe Biden was forced out of the race. The fallout of the CNN debacle was swift and unforgiving: Polymarkets, a betting platform, which had Kamala leading Donald Trump before the CNN interview, immediately reverted to having the 45th President ahead once again.

Nate Silver, a left-leaning pollster who created FiveThirtyEight, also yielded a forecast model that gave Donald Trump a five point advantage over his opponent in taking the electoral college. These polls and prediction markets indicate that Americans can detect a choke and bullshit artist when they see one, and Kamala Harris, whose acted out the Art of the Choke in realtime on CNN, came across in the worst possible way: an unapologetic liar, willing to say anything — including adopting President Trump’s own policies, and rhetoric — to get herself elected.

This is especially true given her previous, well-documented devotion to the Cult of Climate Science, which was zealous and extreme. In 2020, if it were up to her, she would have wiped the oil and gas producers off the face of a planet.  Now, of course, her handlers tell her to speak out of both sides of her mouth to pander to what they hope are gullible voters.  This explains Kamala’s garbled answer to Bash, professing that her “values have not changed,” even though she now, apparently, supports fracking – at least until November 5th.
