If you need a sign that we are living in the Biblical times of Romans 1:18-32 take 5 minutes and listen to the news today. From the overwhelming majority of news outlets. From what has been and continues to take place across America on college and university campuses, at high schools, and in almost every American major city.

The fever of Jew-hatred building to a coming Kristallnacht in America.

It’s already begun in some places.

And what is the conclusion from those I see and hear on broadcast news? Even on FOX News, which is the primary broadcast news source I listen to and watch. We are living in a time when people have things upside down!

Really? Are you kidding?

First, we have in place the most deluded and lost Executive administration in American history in place. The weakest Executive administration in American history. Making the Jimmy Carter administration appear like it was really General George Patton’s by comparison.

Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., along with his lengthy period of blatant corruption has gone to bed with CAIR, with Emgage [Emgage], with Iran, Qatar [two Islamic nations supplying Islamic terrorism and having a white-hot hatred of Jews, Israel, America, and the West determined to eradicate Israel and America from the planet and establish an Islamic caliphate to usher in their Madhi, their Supreme Imam — think Antichrist], and the Biden administration which is chock full of Barack Hussein Obama administration officials have been and continue to aid and abet Israel’s and America’s enemies. Lying continually. Double-speak. Gobbly gook language. Desiring the status quo to remain and for Hamas and the Islamic threats against Israel to remain intact, in place.

We are supposed to be Israel’s greatest ally and friend and yet take some time to research the facts. The truth. Especially what is being said now and actually done.

Listen to the words spoken by those in positions of power in Washington, D.C. Listen to the words spoken by the talking heads sitting behind shining large glass and wood desks spewing as they do. Listen to the people. Observe. Watch.

Things may appear upside down and unlike anything seen by anyone presently alive but things are more than upside down, which is the view of a person that may possess sense, critical thinking, and a degree of rational thinking but also possessing a worldview rather than a Biblical view of things.

Look around. Listen. We are living in the age when God has given the people over to their wicked and unrighteous minds as He knows in His infinite wisdom and knowledge those who are eternally lost and are those specifically written about in Romans 1:18-32.

It is time, past the time really, to begin to truly grasp, understand, and then do something regarding the times in which we live.

Don’t wait for a worldly solution, a political solution, or a diplomatic solution. Those never really come do they no matter the summits, treaties, and all the talk, talk, talk, and more talk. They only provide an illusion of a solution but are never really lasting or a true solution.

Looking for answers? Looking for the only truth and solution found on this earth? That is only found in God’s Word. The Holy Bible. Inerrant and infallible. Unchangeable. The only book that is one hundred percent true while also being the only book on earth ever, or that ever will provide past, present, and future spot on history.

Rather than be counted in the number, the legions discussed in Romans 1:18-32 turn to the Lord. Not away from Him. Seek the Lord. Seek the truth. Seek solace and peace, joy, comfort, and salvation, true security, eternal security in the Lord Jesus Christ, in God as Father, in the Holy Spirit, and in the Holy Bible.

For these are most turbulent and troubling times. Of escalating war and demonic activity, of hatred and the people being so lost, so inside down if desiring to explain things that way, so troubled, so filled with lies and serving Satan that do not repent, will not ever repent, adamantly refusing to turn to the Lord — knowing the evil taking place, partaking of it and actually approving of it! Are we not in those words, is not this that Biblical time?

Times are going to become more confusing, more difficult, more troubling, more turbulent, and trials and tribulations are only going to increase.

The people will become even more upside down and more evident of living in Romans 1:18-32.

What are you waiting for? World War III to be officially declared and the armies of the world moving towards Israel in their vain and foolish attempt to remove Israel and the Jews from the face of the earth?

Waiting for the 2024 American elections deluded that will somehow make things right, make things better?

Are you truly keen for the truth? Understanding? The how and why of the what and what is the only real solution?

Heed the day. No one knows what tomorrow brings let alone next year.

Heed the day. Heed the times of the day. From a truly, consistent, daily, nightly, always Biblical perspective.

Believing. Obeying. Faithfully. Asking the Holy Spirit for spiritual wisdom as you read — then pondering, deeply thinking — meditating on what has been read and studied. Holding God’s Word in the heart. Your heart. The greatest shield and deterrent against evil.

Nee proof of the reality that we’re living in Romans 1:18-32? Just listen for a few minutes to what is spewing from the tongues — THE HEARTS — of those in positions of power and authority. How twisted everything is. Upside down if you will, but all that really means? The people have been given over by God to their wicked, evil, reprobate, unrighteous minds by Him as He knows their hearts and minds and that they will never repent, never seek salvation through the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, never accept the atoning blood of the cross to wash away their sin. They are so enslaved by Satan, so in the darkness, so much themselves darkness — the truly walking dead in their sin and blood lust.

Wake up and stop waiting for some person to come along and fix things. Make it all better.

Wake up to the only fix possible is the one in an individual heart that has repented and turned to the Lord Jesus Christ — and this applies to those who have been Christians for a year, a week, ten years, or fifty, sixty years but are now more in tune with the world than the Word. More carried away by the world than the Word of God.

Get right with God. Today. Tonight. And remain so.

For the times are only going to become more difficult and trying. Much more difficult and trying.

And certainly do not fall prey to the constant barrage of twisted words — lies — emanating from the tongues, the HEARTS, the cold dead dark hearts of Satan’s ministers and minions attempting to lead people along the path they are on. Which only leads to the Second Death, eternal damnation in the pit of hell.

Yes, it’s that important and all about that really. It’s a much larger and greater spiritual war everyone is engaged in than all the conflicts taking place at this moment, which in all likelihood are only going to escalate unless America develops a spine, and can find the way to the truth — to no longer aiding and abetting the enemies of America, the enemies of Israel the outcome is going to be one the people of America could never have imagined happening.

Don’t fall for the Islamophobia scam!

 

A false narrative about Muslims being under attack after the Oct. 7 atrocities has it backwards. It is Muslim groups and their leftist allies who are fueling the surge in antisemitism.

 

November 2, 2023

What’s the federal government doing in response to a massive surge in antisemitism on American streets and college campuses since the Oct. 7 atrocities on Israel by Hamas terrorists? It’s getting serious about stopping Islamophobia.

The announcement that President Joe Biden has assigned Vice President Kamala Harris to work on developing “the first-ever U.S. national strategy to counter Islamophobia” can be dismissed as nothing more than a political gesture. It’s clearly intended to counter the bitter criticism he has received from his party’s left-wing intersectional base that is deeply upset about the president’s support for Israel.

As The New York Times has reported, the Democratic Party is splintering over the administration’s stand in support of Israel’s efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists running the Gaza Strip. Not even his efforts to delay the Israeli offensive or his insistence that it allow humanitarian aid to enter the terrorist-run enclave that effectively resupplies Hamas has been enough to dampen the criticism that is placing his re-election campaign in jeopardy.

While his pro-Israel stand has shored up his support with centrist Democrats and independents, his party’s intersectional wing is, unlike most Americans, hostile to Israel. The only way for him to conciliate them is to double down on the administration’s embrace of the ideology of racial and ethnic grievance that is the driving force of liberal Democrat activism in the 21st century.

The myth of an anti-Muslim backlash

The nation has been shocked by the brazen Jew-hatred on display in the pro-Hamas demonstrations in many cities, in academia and in the widespread increase in anti-Jewish incidents. But even as the administration acknowledges this dismal reality, it is also buttressing a false narrative about hatred for Muslims.

Prejudice against any group is deplorable, and where there are incidents of bias against Muslims or Arabs, they should be vigorously condemned. Yet as FBI statistics for the past two decades have shown, there is little or no empirical evidence to back up the claims that Muslims faced a backlash of prejudice after the 9/11 attacks.

Throughout this period, it has been the Jews, who constitute a small fraction of the population, who have been the targets for the vast majority of religious hate crimes. That continues to this day with a real backlash. Paradoxically, the worst mass slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust—the barbarous Oct. 7 attacks that resulted in the deaths of 1,400 men, women and children, the wounding of thousands and the kidnapping of as many as 230 civilians—has created a surge of sympathy for Hamas and their jihad to eliminate the one Jewish state on the planet and to slaughter its Jewish population.

The evidence of burgeoning Jew-hatred on American streets and college campuses comes in many forms. It’s not just demonstrations and speeches where mobs chant their support for the destruction of Israel and their contempt for Jewish victims. It also means acts of intimidation and violence against individuals or those who publicly express their opposition to Palestinian terrorism.

Vandalizing victim posters

The most ubiquitous evidence of this hostility to Jews has been the frequent incidents in which people are tearing down posters showing the images of Israelis who are being held as hostages in Gaza. As another Times article made clear, those who commit these acts of vandalism believe that it is wrong to highlight Jewish victims since it distracts from their efforts to flip the discussion about the war Hamas launched into one about Palestinian suffering. According to the Times, the posters are viewed as “anti-Islamic war propaganda.”

The fact that so many people are carrying out this anti-social act—who, after all, would think of tearing down a poster for a missing cat or dog, let alone one about a child abducted by terrorists—speaks to something truly insidious in our culture. While there have been no reports of police tearing down the posters—as they have done in British cities such as London and Manchester, presumably to soothe the hurt feelings of Muslims who are offended by them—the contempt that these Muslim and leftist vandals feel for Jewish victims is raw, unadulterated antisemitism.

But as counter-intuitive to the facts as it may be, it actually makes a great deal of sense that an administration that has embraced the intersectional worldview of critical race theory, like Biden’s has, would attempt to flip the script from this blatant antisemitism to one about alleged Islamophobia.

To those who have embraced the woke catechism of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), the only legitimate forms of diversity or inclusion involve those races or groups designated as victims. From that point of view, it doesn’t matter that incidents of Jew-hatred overwhelmingly outnumber those few reported incidents of anti-Muslim prejudice. Since Jews and Israel are falsely labeled as possessors of “white privilege” and oppressors—and Arabs and Muslims are “people of color” and victims—only the latter really count.

The administration’s willingness to impose DEI policies that reject equality in favor of racialized quotas rendered their much-ballyhooed plan to combat antisemitism meaningless. And that betrayal is only underlined by the pivot to Islamophobia in the midst of the greatest crisis to face American Jewry in living memory.

If young people on college campuses, as well as thugs on the streets of all backgrounds, are tearing down posters of Jewish victims, it is because they have been indoctrinated to believe that Jews have no right to live in freedom in their own land or to defend themselves. In the upside-down world of intersectionality, it is the terrorists and their supporters who deserve sympathy—not those they attack or the forces seeking to stop the murderers from striking again.

That’s the reason why the administration believes that it must play the Islamophobia card.

The one story that backs up this decision is the murder of a 6-year-old Palestinian-American child by his family’s landlord, reportedly because of anti-Muslim prejudice. This murder was shocking and tragic. But that incident—likely motivated, like so many mass shootings including those at synagogues, by mental illness as much as bias—does not demonstrate a national problem. More to the point, those crying out about Islamophobia are, in almost every case, the same people and groups who are guilty of promoting antisemitism.

An unreliable source

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is the source most often cited for the claim that there is a surge in Islamophobia. To say that it is not to be trusted on the subject is an understatement. Founded in the 1990s as a fundraising group for Hamas in the United States, it has since rebranded itself as a so-called civil-rights organization. But it has been consistently guilty of promoting Jew-hatred and has sought to silence groups that called attention to their incitement by falsely labeling them as Islamophobes. That continues to this day when it reacted to the Oct. 7 atrocities by refusing to condemn Hamas and, instead, blaming Israel for the attacks.

Once one strips away the veneer of concern for a religious minority, CAIR demonstrates that most of what is called Islamophobia involves those calling out groups like its own and others that champion efforts to destroy Israel or to target Jews and Israelis via illegal BDS discrimination campaigns, for their open antisemitism.

As we have seen in the last month, Muslims and Arabs are not the ones being attacked by Jews or, for the most part, by anyone else. Instead, they are the ones who are targeting Jews—and as the videos of the pro-Hamas demonstrations and the poster incidents show, they think they are right, even proud, to display their Jew-hatred.

It is no consolation to recognize that Biden’s Islamophobia initiative will be no more serious than his administration’s efforts to combat antisemitism, or that he has assigned the least respected and most ineffective member of his team in Harris to lead it.

Nevertheless, putting the government’s imprimatur on what is nothing more than an effort to create a false moral equivalency between a surge in antisemitism and the belief of those fueling that hate that they are the real victims is deeply troubling. Criticism of the antisemitism spewing forth from the Muslim and Arab sources—and those who back up their hatred—is not a form of prejudice. The Islamophobia scam means legitimizing those supporting the eradication of the one Jewish state on the planet and the murder of its Jewish population. Rather than helping to curb prejudice, the Biden administration is encouraging it.
