JOEL ROSENBERG ANALYSIS OF PM'S SPEECH TO CONGRESS - For JUST A MINUTE Radio on Friday 110527

Wonderful end of the week coming… IT’S FRIDAY!!!

 

What we have here is a success – because at the beginning of the week we thought (some thought) there would be a lot of missing folks.

 

Well… that didn’t – just like it didn’t happen a couple of times before.  So perhaps it’s three strikes and you stop falsely scaring people.  But… it’s a free country!  And we do want to keep it that way.

 

Anyway I’d like to send kudo’s to Mr. Minister Netanyahu for the masterful speech he delivered in the House to the Joint Session of Congress.  I’ve listened (and watched) more than my share of speeches in political settings. This one was really excellent – even including the young person who yelled from the gallery.  For she gave the world a chance to see we really do have free speech – even under the most secure circumstances. And the PM adroitly took the opportunity to drive that point home for the world to see.

 

I’m not familiar with all the details, but some time back when Joel Rosenberg was writing for WORLD magazine out of Asheville, I had the opportunity to talk with him and discuss some journalistic point. He’s a wonderfully successful Christian and writer. I’m glad he’s one sane fellow, well adjusted and happy and on our side! May his tribe increase!

 

So – we had a defeat in New York’s 26^th Congressional District – but we shouldn’t have.  And we can see how those who want to worm their way over to the winning side can ingratiate themselves to harm our cause and effort.  It’s not a tragedy and won’t set us back – but it is a good reminder that the object of running for office is not to push yourself forward but to be faithful to the cause and true to its principles.

 

Well – that’s another speech for another soap box.

 

Right now I’m right glad the GOP is seeing this as a tough road to drive and a steep hill to climb – BUT IT CAN BE DONE with the Lord’s help. Let’s not get cocky and think that it all depends on us. It depends on the Lord and in Daniel’s famous words to Nebuchadnezzar – …”The Most High God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that He appointeth over it whomsoever He will.” (Dan. 5:21b).

 

So I’m not going to beat this dead horse again. Just let us be assured we’re doing the right thing in the right way.  We can *always* get the Lord guidance on such questions.

 

Times up for me after midnight again… so we’ll convene next week. Meanwhile the Lord bless you all and keep you  and make HIS fact to shine upon you and give you peace!

 

Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

JOEL ROSENBERG ANALYSIS OF PM’S SPEECH TO CONGRESS

            Just a Minute: Author Joel Rosenberg, accurately describes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before the Joint Session of Congress as excellent and points to an "epic battle" underway.  He also warns that Iran and its nuclear program is a great threat and describes Hamas as the new ‘al Qaeda.’

          But unfortunately the Prime Minister actually never cites the Bible nor calls for the Jews to trust Christ as Saviour. He does commend American friendship and pleads we should stick with Israel in the dark times approaching. Will this be the case?

          Rosenberg would like to believe so but agrees Biblical prophecy says otherwise: He cites Scripture indicating Israel may well be all alone in the last days, and believes only the Lord will be faithful. The question then becomes will Israelis turn their hearts to the Lord? Rosenberg turns to his namesake – Joel the Prophet and reminds us the Lord is going to judge "all the nations" because "they have divided up My Land." (Joel 3:2 ESV) For an even clearer picture read the book of Joel for yourself.
