Israel is God's unfinished business. How do some Christians see Zionism? In fact most don't see any biblical warrant to recognize a Jewish state. Even where some Christians don't have any particular animosity against modern secular Israel, they deny any biblical mandate for its existence. For example Isaac Munther … [Read more...]
On Jews and Credit Card Identity Theft
On Jews and Credit Card Identity Theft - I know that's a weird title to an article. But stay with me. This is more about the Jews than credit cards. Imagine that someone steals your credit card. You get statements from your bank detailing purchases you never made. Someone has taken over your identity. You are still … [Read more...]
Can We Trust Prophecy?
Can we trust prophecy? Some people caution against it. Over the years there have been various attacks mounted on the study of prophecy. Many of these have focused on recent infamous (and failed) predictions of Christ's Second Coming made by certain individuals. During the course of time there have been spectacular … [Read more...]
National Israel Will Always be Israel
According to the Bible, as I understand it, national Israel will always be Israel. This is despite the employment of theological terms to suggest otherwise. National Israel will always be Israel, not the church pretending to be a better, more spiritual version. Israel failed in many areas. But what can we honestly say … [Read more...]
Another Peace Plan Boat Floats down the River
And so another Peace Plan Boat Floats down the River. It was a long time coming, with speculation aplenty about the "Deal of the Century". Is it headed for the same ghost-ship harbor where all the other plans have ended up? I'm not optimistic. In fact I'll wager it was dead in the water even before the details … [Read more...]

And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Gen 12:3 Perhaps it's just me, but the King James language's authoritative tone captures this warning better … [Read more...]
The Church is Not Israel
The Church is not Israel. The church is not Israel! The church is NOT Israel. True Israel is NOT the church! The church is NOT True Israel. The church is not Israel - spiritual, national or otherwise... No, I haven't flipped out like writer Jack Torrance in the book-movie The Shining. He typed pages and pages of: … [Read more...]
Israel Punching Bag
The corporation I once worked for drummed into us the inevitability of change: "Get used to it." They meant company re-structures. Some things never change, though. Israel will always be a punching bag. Maybe it was because it was around the time of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. But I was seeing an … [Read more...]
Anti-Semitism, the Jews and Israel
What's the connection between anti-Semitism, the Jews and criticism of Israel? Read the following words very slowly and repeat as often as necessary: It's the Jews! The world hates Jews. It will concoct any excuse and any conspiracy theory to hate them. History is full of such examples. They hate Israel because it … [Read more...]
On Thralls and Palestinianism
My wife will have conniptions over the title of this article. She creates suitable graphics for articles which appear on our website. Often it's a challenge. But enough of her problems - here I am again ranting about one of my favorite vexing topics. Where am I going with all this? Let's start with Thrall. One … [Read more...]
