The Enemy of them All

Attention Christian Zionists –

Very few of us are Israeli. Except for a sprinkling of locals, none of us has the right to vote in Israel’s national elections. Many would argue that what takes place in the reshaping of the Jewish state’s political landscape is none of our business – that we should leave the citizens of Israel to choose the leader they want, and stay out of it.

God is sending one of His own from Jerusalem to sound the alarm to the world. He wants the nations to heed the warning before the window closes and the chance to choose truth over lies is gone.

It has long prided itself on this, especially in its reporting on Israel in a world alongside the likes of the rabidly pro-Arab CNN and BBC. … Read more
