The Middle East conflict has plagued the world for centuries, and nations, perhaps greater than ours, have tried and failed to solve the Jewish question. The difficult answer can be found in understanding one man, his family, and his covenant with God. The Bible declares God made a covenant with Abraham to give him a homeland in the Middle East in what is known today as Israel, to make his name great, to bless him with innumerable descendants, and to bless all the families of the earth through him. Is this ancient history about Abraham’s descendants relevant to our circumstances in the world as we know it today? Should the story of Abraham’s life have been better left alone to decay in some museum or dusty archive? Not a good idea. Does it bring anything worthwhile to bear on our present day worldwide issues? Yes, it certainly does. A word from the Author: Any nation that coerces Israel into “Land for peace” negotiations and who refuses to recognize Jerusalem as totally Jewish including the Temple Mount will forfeit their future. If America joins this chorus, judgment will surely come from the God of Abraham, the only True God, the God of the Bible. I have taken special notice of the slowly eroding support for Israel and have taken the last ten years to research and assemble the evidence in as readable a format as possible. Herein I lay out the case that Israel may soon find herself alone, without her closest ally for support and in return we may lose favor in Heaven. This far outweighs any election results. Under the Obama administration and the John Kerry State Department, our country was on a collision course with Jehovah God, the true God, the God of the Bible. I write not just to defend Israel but to warn my beloved homeland. May God grant America repentance while there is still time. If America withdraws from Israel, one nation will survive the break-up and one nation will die. Which one lives, and which one dies? To answer these questions will take courage. To ignore this warning would be catastrophic.

Churches should be awesome. They should inspire the very best spiritual response from the Christian, and they must aspire to be convincing to the unbeliever as well. A church can be more than simply a Sunday service and is meant to be an important everyday entity. The Lord himself conceived the church and through Him, the church was actually born. It is called a “glorious church” (Ephesians 5:27). A church functioning with the Lord is a potent force. A church without him is dead, ineffectual and potentially a force for evil. The identity and practice of a local New Testament church are, Therefore, of supreme importance. A clear understanding of the church makes it easier to be courageous for the Lord in ministry. I want to share this courage with you.
