Always watch Israel. That’s where it’s happening.
Now THAT, SkyDancer, is a profound statement!
Current events must really drive the atheist crowd mad. One tiny nation, a small portion of humanity, which claims to be "God's Chosen People", is the focus of world events!
"How can this be? There is no 'God Person'!"
"Why is Israel ALWAYS in the news?"
Or, as the little 'slingshot shepherd boy' who later became the Warrior-Poet-King, wrote 3000 years ago concerning one of his descendents, a Man of that little nation:
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed..."
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. Psalm 2
