Is there any connection between Islam and terrorism? Honestly, it should be a rhetorical question by now. Still, for whatever reasons, many resist connecting the dots. Within minutes of news reports that there was an explosion at a concert in Manchester, social media lit up. There were those who quickly raised the … [Read more...]
Should We Apologize for Israel and Balfour?
There has always been the sentiment among some groups that the Balfour Declaration has led to victimization of the Palestinian people. They say it was a mistake, and that we should attempt to make amends. Christian scholars such as Stephen Sizer, Colin Chapman, Gary Burge and others have been spinning this yarn for … [Read more...]
Putin – New Boss on the Block
Putin - New Boss on the Block? I suspect he thinks he is. In a previous column I mentioned the interaction between Putin and Netanyahu. Putin informed the Israeli Prime Minister that this wasn't 500 BC. In other words - despite its rhetoric - Iran wasn't planning another Jewish genocide. Putin was brazenly … [Read more...]
Return of the Peacemakers
Putin recently informed Netanyahu that we were no longer living in the 5th century BC. I'm not sure what the Israeli Prime Minister thought of that remark but I'm betting he didn't jump on the phone to announce the good news to Mossad. As Brian Shrauger reports, the context of the conversation occurred three days … [Read more...]
Israel – Don’t Go There

Zech 12:3 and Zech 14:3 should echo strongly in everyone's ears. I recall having a vigorous conversation with someone regarding the … [Read more...]
The Coming Prophetic Kingdom

When we moved into our current house there was a study with plenty of book shelf space. That space has been quickly filling up. It doesn't help attending a … [Read more...]
Merry Christmas from Muhammad and Devotees
Have a Merry Christmas from Muhammad and Devotees. The Prophet Muhammad's legacy of terror has reached out from the past and wished many western Christians another merry Christmas. It's an upward trend. This was why Gatestone Institute was able to send out an accurate early warning to Europeans for 2016. So far, … [Read more...]
Israel’s Biggest Trouble
What is Israel's biggest trouble today? Modern Israel's problems echo those found in Jewish history. This is because Israel is fundamentally Jewish (descendants of Jacob-Israel). For this reason, unjust criticism of Israel must be considered in light of Israel's Jewish ethnicity. As far back as the records show - … [Read more...]
This infatuation with Israel
What is it about this infatuation with Israel we have? Everyone loves Israel. Sure they do! Not just Israel - the Jews as well. They love them to death. Forgive me; my sarcasm just spilled onto my keyboard. I hate it when that happens. An interesting thing happened the other day. I discovered something about a … [Read more...]
Death Terrorism & the Middle East
Death Terrorism & the Middle East, a Biblical Perspective. What is happening and how should we respond as Christians? I only came across this gem recently; unfortunately far too late to post it here as a lead-up commentary to 9-11-2016. However, the following message delivered by John MacArthur fifteen days … [Read more...]
