Cause and Effect: A Terrifying New World

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

I am a big believer in “reap what you sow”, it is a law of God if you will. Not only did we get a feckless, inept leader in Washington after the stolen election in 2020, we also got a terrifying new world order. The balance of power in the world has been thrown into chaos. It used to be America with it’s moral and intestinal fortitude was the undisputed leader of the world, free or not. However now evil nations bent on destruction and dominance have emerged.

Just this week China has upped the ante in the Middle East. China just signed a deal with Iran to invest $400 Billion in the next 25 years. China and Iraq recently signed a deal for a $5 Billion deal on development of an oil power plant. $30 Billion to Qatar for natural gas projects. China buys huge amounts of oil from Saudi Arabia. China, Russia, and Iran have just teamed up doing military exercises together. What about Israel?

If what we hear is true Iran is only days away from being nuclear. Israel has vowed not to ever let Israel get nuclear weapons. The Middle East is and always has been a powder keg ready to explode, but with China becoming much more prolific in their dealings there, it may be only a matter of time.

Where is America? We are discussing pronouns and bowing down to the gender police. Cause and effect, a stolen election and a socialist agenda will destroy America and set the world on fire. Yes we are reaping what we have sown!

Epilogue – A weak church and weak Pastors have allowed evil to run amuck and begin the weakening process of a once great nation. God have mercy upon the United States of America. When the righteous reign the people rejoice, but when evil reigns the people groan. Rh

By Mark Schwendau

An earthquake that is said to have measured anywhere between 7.4 and 8.1 in magnitude has struck southern Turkey near the city of Gaziantep near the Syrian border. Gaziantep is said to have a population of around 800,000. The earthquake was said to have killed scores of people in both Turkey and Syria, and many are believed to be trapped under building rubble.

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said the 7.8-magnitude quake struck 23 kilometers (14.2 miles) east of Nurdagi, Gaziantep province, at a depth of 24.1 kilometers (14.9 miles) at about 4:17 in the morning local time. It is said to have lasted about a minute. Strong tremors of aftershocks have been felt after the quake.

Terrible devastation throughout Turkey and Norther Syria. Tremors into Iran and Israel as well. Rh

Contending for the Faith Part 1

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Commentary writer Matthew Henry said “a traitor inside the church is worse than a thousand outside the church.” Many times those of us who strictly contend for the faith are looked upon as hard liners or too conservative, but in society today fundamental truth needs to be shouted from the rooftops. When so called Pastors deny any part of the Bible as the word of God, or try to minimize or throw away what God has said, they are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Shepards are called to lead and feed the flock of God. Today not so much. (Isaiah 56:10-12) Pastors need to speak out on issues from their pulpit! Don’t be a sissy. Don’t be afraid because now is the time for men of God to be leaders not follows. We should change the atmosphere wherever we go. Find a man like that to support. Brave and strong in the Lord. By the way, get involved in what is happening today politically as well. Get out of the Church and do something. Preach issues from your pulpit. Tell your parishioners God will judge your vote. Vote Biblical values!

Most of our moral issues plaguing us today stem from nonsensical interpretation of the scriptures. Pastors, of which I am one, drive me crazy with the their fear of losing members. Preach the word, be a good Bible teacher. Don’t compromise. An old Preacher told me this over 40 years ago, “Son the people who are with you can’t leave you, and the people who aren’t with you can’t stay.” What he meant was those who want the truth will be drawn to you and those who want their ears tickled will leave. Great advice for any endeavor, just be yourself and say what is right and true and be passionate.

If you have as good Pastor, encourage him constantly. He needs it. If you go to a dead and dry church, get out of it. Christian’s don’t need junk food, they need to be fed from the Word. Rh

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un threatens nuclear response to US and alliesThe isolated country tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Friday shortly after warning of “fiercer military responses.”By JERUSALEM POST STAFF, REUTERS Published: NOVEMBER 19, 2022 00:16

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un pledged to counter US nuclear threats with nuclear weapons as he inspected a test of the country’s new intercontinental ballistic missile, state media KCNA said on Saturday.

The isolated country fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) toward the East Sea on Friday, the South Korean military said, in protest over the United States’ move to reinforce its “extended deterrence” protection of South Korea and Japan.

Attending the site with his daughter and wife, Kim said threats from the United States and its allies pursing a hostile policy prompted his country to “substantially accelerate the bolstering of its overwhelming nuclear deterrence.”

Conversation With an Arab Israeli About Netanyahu’s New Right-Wing Gov’tWhat do Israel’s Arabs think of the emerging coalition and its “extremist” right-wing members? What do they think of Bibi himself? By David Lazarus—Israel Today

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The conversation started when Emil came to the office to upgrade my computer. “Ahalan u’Sachlan” I greeted him with my basic Arabic and soon recognized an intelligent young man as open to conversation as I.

Sitting down to a Turkish coffee, I learned that Emil completed an upper graduate degree in political science, so I asked what he thinks of Israel’s emerging right-wing government coalition that was elected under Benjamin Netanyahu. After all the “bad news” I’ve heard about his “extreme” right-wing partners and how Israeli Arabs are angry and protesting even to the UN, I was curious to hear it from the horse’s mouth, as they say.

I was surprised by this young Arab’s response.

“Netanyahu is a good thing for the country,” insisted Emil. “He is stable and straight forward. You know what you are getting with Bibi.”

Israel Today: So you’re not concerned about his right-wing coalition partners, some of whom are labeled as “extremists”?

Emil: Not at all. Bibi knows how to handle these guys. He is not going to let the government be taken over by extremists on one side or the other. We’ve watched him for too long to know that Netanyahu is wise and doesn’t let anybody push him around. The country needs his kind of stability.

Some of these right wingers like Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir are calling for what some see as anti-Arab policies. As an Arab Israeli, you’re not concerned?

First of all, I do not like to judge people before we see who and what they are about. We need to let these guys who come from the far right have a chance, and see what they do. There is no reason to already get all bent out of shape before they have even begun. I don’t see why folks on the left are so upset already when nothing has been decided. And don’t forget, Mr. Netanyahu will be prime minister.

And secondly, it has always been the right-wing governments that have made practical peace agreements with the Arabs. Like with Egypt, Jordan and at least trying with the Palestinians, when Ariel Sharon withdrew from the Gaza Strip and other withdrawals from the West Bank.

Why is that?

Because right-wing governments are clear in their objectives. You know what they want and from that position you can make a deal. The left are always a bit wishy-washy. The issues are not clear, and you never know exactly what you are going to get. Much of the time their idealism is unrealistic and so we never get anywhere.

And the fact that Netanyahu’s coalition partners are all religious Jews? Either Orthodox or National Religious?

Actually, most Arabs connect with their conservative views on social issues. So in many ways we prefer the right-wing religious conservatism to the left-wing progressive secularism. If you look at all the Arab parties in Israeli politics, they are all conservative when it comes to social and religious issues. It fits our culture.

Why haven’t you gotten involved in politics given your graduate studies?

To be in politics you can’t be honest with yourself, and I didn’t want to live like that. So I studied electronics and now enjoy working with my hands and getting things done that I know helps folks.

You could do that in government as well.

Not really. The whole thing is just a balagan (too messed up).

Benjamin Netanyahu a Survivor

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Few politicians have dominated politics in the way Benjamin Netanyahu has in Israel over the past quarter century. Netanyahu has served as Prime Minister for 15 of the last 25 years, and while the final counting of absentee ballots may affect the makeup of his next government, “Bibi” Netanyahu seems certain to return to that office after this week’s election. Aided by divisions among his opponents, and a realization even among Israelis critical of one or more aspects of his personality or tenure that he is the only man who can govern, Israel’s voters have brought back one of the world’s most reliable politicians in

Biden and the democrats have tried to influence this election just as Obama. Even now with the hand writing on the wall screams of anguish are emitting from democratic socialist who want Israel to be as weak as possible in the Middle East.

Well I’ve go news for you arrogant pols in America, God has his hand on Israel. Shut up and allow Israel to determine it’s own path.

British Prime Minister – Friend of Israel?

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Rishi Sunak, who will be the new British new prime minister after becoming Conservative party leader on Monday, is considered a strong supporter of Israel and a friend of the UK’s Jewish community.

At a Conservative Friends of Israel event in August, Sunak declared Jerusalem is “indisputably the historic capital” of Israel and that there was a “very strong case” for moving the UK embassy from its current location in Tel Aviv.

But Sunak, a former Treasury chief, also acknowledged “sensitivities” over the issue.“It’s something I’d like to do,” he said. “If it was that easy, it would have been done by now”. Per watch.org

Mid-terms Upcoming

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Midterm elections here in the United States are just around the corner. They are less than three weeks away. I believe that the Republicans will win the house back easily with a large substantial margin of victory, the Senate will also be turned over into the hands of Republicans. My biggest fear, which is always my fear with the Republican leadership, is do they have the stomach or the gonads to stand up against the democratic party. Too often McConnell and McCarthy have a tendency to grab defeat out of the jaws of victory. If only we had people of character in the leader ship of the republican party we might actually change this nation back to a moral compass of which it was founded on. Too often we have a uni party in the United States. All politicians want the same thing, our money, our constitutional authority and a way to control the people.

Do I really think anything will change after this election? No not really. Of course there will be changes and it will be a better place to live and gas prices will eventually come down and the 401(k)s will eventually go up. But the course of this once great sovereign country is on the down trend. We need true conservative moral leadership and unless the swamp or the ruling class creatures in Washington DC are defeated and gone, we will never really change. Do I sound defeated, maybe, but possibly a spark of the true American spirit lives on.

Pray, Engage, and Impact. rh
