On Watch for August

“I Will Remember The Land.”

“But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and that they also have walked contrary to Me…then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember; I will remember the land,” Leviticus 26:40,42.

Nothing Has Changed

A majority of the current coalition members of parliament voted to change the Kadima party’s constitution to allow for a primary to take place by mid-September replacing current Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. Since most members of the coalition are in agreement to a two-state solution for peace and not concerned about dividing the land it is not likely that anything will change. The only hope is for a candidate from the opposition party to win in the election in 2009. The only one at the moment in the running is former Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu. It is still too early to tell. Whoever will take over for Olmert in the interim will pretty much proceed in the same direction.

The Odd Couple

President Shimon Peres hosted Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the Presidential residence recently. Peres gushed at how their relationship has grown over the last fifteen years. Peres runs a close second to Olmert in brilliant statements.

“I never would have imagined us meeting like this. The feud between our peoples is decades long, but we have never lost hope. We will continue to weather all adversities and we will reach our goal of understanding, respect, economic prosperity and tolerance. After all, even the political Right has come to the conclusion that the two-state solution is best," concluded Peres. Is he telling us the Right has become Left?

Once again, the Palestinian President added another demand to the “only” solution. In addition to Jerusalem, borders and refugees, he added water. In actuality, Islamists not only want Israel, they want your country as well.

Wave Goodbye to America

Did you know that Muslim Arabs are buying out collapsing Western banks and businesses and gaining growing international power? The Abu Dhabi Investment Council paid $800 million for 75 percent of New York City’s Chrysler Building. They also purchased the failed Citibank. But don’t worry. Abu Dhabi’s director of international affairs has reassured American officials that they would not use their investment organizations or individual investments as a foreign policy tool. Sleep well.

Pray that the Lord will raise up men in the coming elections, both in Israel and the United States, that will lead their nations in Godly wisdom, integrity and boldly speak the truth.

Pray for the people to rally together in unity and cry out for forgiveness and declare that God Himself is Sovereign.

“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” And the Spirit and the bride say, ”Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Revelation 22:12,16,17, 20.
