Apu (🇦🇷🇨🇦 for 🇮🇱🇮🇷🇺🇦) @Apuntes_ Netanyahu was quoting Will Durant, and calls it an UNFORTUNATE conclusion about how evil has overcome good throughout history because good has not been "strong enough". In fact, it contexualises the statement that democracy must re-assert its will to defend itself

Romance stories on film mostly are the men of the dark side saddling up with a good woman.
Most women through time have always dreamed of taming a bad guy to their sense of decency.
So, runs over good until good cannot withstand it any more.Good looks to a redemptive future (Book of Job), evil says I am your future, past and present, get used to it
Earth is the place the devil and the devil’s demons were placed, as all Believers know. The democrats and rinos most assuredly are the devil’s demons. The Facts are instructive regarding the evils of democrats and rinos. President Trump is not perfect but President Trump did point at the evil ones. Is sincerely wonderful to witness.
We must remember that throughout histry “Democracy has been used as an excuse to establish totalitarian regues of every sort.
Accuracy dictates nothing but Republican democracy, pure democracy is a curse and always will be.On the other hand monarchy, sooner or later also becomes distinct tyranny.
Where lies freedom? With any government that governs least.
The angels who left their station (Genesis 6) were placed in chains in Tartarus (2Peter 2:4). Demons are the souls of their offspring, the Nephilim. Because they are neither fully man nor fully human (unholy mixture - look at Leviticus - unclean is defined by mixing things that must not be mixed or blood, because blood is life), their spirits have nowhere to go but wander the Earth looking for bodies to inhabit. That’s what possession is.
Oops... “neither fully angel nor fully man...”
Haters are going to hate, though. People hear what agree with their own thoughts, so if one hates Jews already and are suspicious of them, then they don’t care about the context. Sad, but true.
Strict, observant, radical Muslims are counting on us to be moderate and not fight back.
Heiser would agree with your statement.
and that is absolutely right. Its great to be a good guy and moral and righteous and all that.....but you’d better have more armed might and the will to use it than those who wish to do you and yours harm. That’s reality.
As I understood his quote, he was saying that it is true that good can lose to evil temporarily, but the long-term is with the good. As long as the good is firm.
Thank you W.M.
If you're weaker than your enemies or if you are unwilling to act (out of moderation), your "firm" position won't mean much.
You nailed it. Perfectly.
I look at it as a sinewave. The bigger the up, the bigger the down has to be. If IRGC had been handled, just after the Soviet Union fell, it wouldnt have required nearly the same effort that we have put forth since the beginning of March.
The Lessons of History - Will and Ariel Durant
Very true. But Trump is the only president since the fall of the USSR with the political guts to act.
the “good” does seem to arrive late in history - when it shows up. we should do better rising in defense of it.
