Yup....why should 21st century people think we have risen above such barbarity?? I feel not so much fear as I sense a deep certainty of great darkness of evil and judgment about to fall. I make no pronouncement that these are the “last of the LAST DAYs” Biblically speaking since other bad times have fallen upon nations; save only to point out that during past “dark ages” there was no nation of Independent Israel like there is now!
God has made his own act in planting Israel again in our historic but current timestream...as a reminder that he intends to keep his everlasting covenants. When and where will he invade, next??!!
