Where Is 'Peace' on Earth?

It's in the news everyday. There is the uprising of nuclear threats from Iran to destroy not only God's people in Israel, but America as well. Up until recently, 911 in fact, we viewed this kind of stuff from the comfort of our hown homes and would passively thank God that it wasn't us. But, it is us and unless we start taking a stand on the reality that our country is under a threat of turning into an Islamic nation, we will be left wondering how it happened. There is a conspiracy going on right under noses...can't you smell it?
A woman named Nonie Darwish is an Egyptian born Christian who immigrated to the U.S to escape Islam. She has recently had a book published called "Now They Call Me Infidel". She says that Americans must understand that radical Islam wants to impose its repressive Sharia law on the U.S. by the middle of this century. By 2050 she claims that Muslim teachers on the East coast of the United States will impose this law on America. We are not just being threatened by terrorism, but also by the conquering culture of radical Islam. One of the major threats is organizations such as the Council of American Islamic Relations. She claims they use American free speech laws to squelch criticism of Islam. This is certainly true. Instead of being afraid of offending anyone we should be screaming and asking how can they demand equality while the home they came from gives no respect to any other religion? Can't you detect the conspiracy of hypocrisy? Unless we fully start paying attention and stop snoozing, we will be left only with the consequences to pay for, mainly our freedom!
Not only this but the threat of dividing Israel is a major threat to us as well. It blows my mind that President Bush who I thought was a Christian man seems to be leaning on the counsel of men and not God. Last week the Annapolis Peace Summit was held in Annapolis, Maryland. It is the conspiracy to divide Jerusalem. President Bush is agreeing to divide Jerusalme before the end of his term in 2008. It is his belief that the Palestinian cause is the root of Islamic hatred for Americans. One reason he most likely is agreeing to this is because he has advisors telling him that it will affect his legacy in the most positive way. We'll see.
Since 2003, phase 1 of this "Final Status Plan" was to disarm terrorist organizations, but this failed. Phase 2 of this plan was to dismantle all terror organizations and their infrastructure. HAMAS, Islamic Jihad, al-Aksa Martyrs Brigade to name a few would have been forced to turn over all illegal weapons and stop terror incitement. This was not implemented either. Just the opposite happened. HAMAS took over Gaza; Abba's own terror organization, Fatah and al-Aksa Martyrs Bridgade continue to kill Jews.
If this division takes place, Israel will be a living hell. God's chosen people will be forced to live next door to a state controlled by Islamic fanatics such as HAMAS. All I can say at this point, may God have mercy on all those responsible.
As news-worthy as all this is, it's not new. Yes, I believe that God is in control and I also believe that we are living in a time where each one of us is under a yoke of God's judgement or the yoke of His grace. I know how God handles those who are against Him. Who's side are you on?
The 83rd Psalm was a national lament which includes prayer concerning Israel's enemies. The writer of this Psalm was Asaph who divides this Psalm into three parts. 1. A plea for help (vs.1) 2. A protest against Israel's enemies (vs.2-8) and 3. A petition for God's divine judgement (vs.9-18). Asaph implored God to confound His enemies as he had prayed so many times before. Asaph speaks of hostile nations against God as His enemies. These terrorists are God's enemies, not just ours.
"O God, do not remain quiet; do not be silent and, O God, do not be still. For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, and those who hate You have exalted themselves." Psalm 83:1,2
It's obvious that the Islam religion is pushing their beliefs down our throats because it is the only religion and the best one at that. This is exalting themselves in a gross fashion.
"They make shrewd plans against Your people, and conspire against Your treasured ones. They have said, 'Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more.' For they have conspired together with one mind; against You they make a covenant." Psalm 83:3-6
This lines up exactly as it's reported today. I already mentioned the shrewd plans of slowly turning America into an Islamic nation. The attempt to divide Jerusalem is a valid plan to wipe God's people off the face of the earth. The Koran may not tell them, but God's Word makes it no secret that Isreal and His precious people will outlive everything else on earth. It's also no secret that everything concerning God or Christmas are being abolished from this country. America which was once known as the land of the free, one nation under God is disappearing. In fact, at one time we even said, "God bless America". How will you feel when one day your children and grandchilren will pay homage to Allah? This is what we are facing unless we get back to our Christian roots, our heritage. It's something worth fighting for, don't you think?
Like Asaph, perhaps we should pray the same way as he continued this lament.
"O my God, make them like the whirling dust, like chaff before the wind. Like fire that burns the forest and like a flame that sets the mountains on fire, so persue them with Your tempest and terrify them with Your storm, fill their faces with dishonor, that they may seek Your name, O Lord. Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever and let them be humiliated and perish, that they may know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, are the most High over all the earth." Psalm 83:13-18
Asaph makes it no secret how he wants God to repay these wicked people. But also take notice how he also prays that they may come to know God. We are commanded to pray for our enemies. Remember, God is no respector of people, He wants the same thing for everyone...salvation through Jesus Christ. Can you pray with me for these people?
