I would be very interested in knowing IF there are any nominal Christians or fair-minded non-Christians who have read the above Scriptures AND who

A) had some sort of emotional, spiritual, intellectual light go on as they did--something that strongly said there WAS a fit that they hadn't noticed or known of before.

And/or

B) Had a marked intellectual asent, understanding that such seem to apply more than they might have thought beforehand.

No.

The scriptures simply remind me again that it's all about Israel - then, now, and in the time to come. After all, her people were "blessed to be a blessing." I only wish they acknowledged that blessing.....

[Walkin Man]

Ge:12:1: Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

Ge:12:2: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

Ge:12:3: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

How about these verses? The Lord lays it out, plain and simple. If a person or country blesses the Jews, God will bless them. If a man or a country curses the Jews then the curse of God, the Ancient of Days is upon them. Do the muslim countries ever cease from cursing the Jews and Israel? The curse of God Almighty is upon them all and one day they will all be destroyed because of their hatred of the Jews, IMHO.

I found your article very interesting. While I have become a firm believer in the past fifteen years. I am being asked many questions by nominal or non- believers, especially now. It is difficult for those that have not tried to learn about the Bible, scriptures or God to understand. Scripture goes way over their heads and they tend to cling to their false beliefs because it is simply easier. Like anything else in life, knowledge and being informed- in order to make any decision is work. Many aren't willing to give the time or energy to find out truth....look for some negative comments and let God sort them out. Blessings to you.

I have prayed much on this general subject lately. I am begining to think the OT has little relevance to the current situation. God wants to save not destroy islam.

The hardline islamic states are preventing their people from hearing the Gospel. Jesus said the gospel must be preached to all the world. It is arguable the islamic world is the last unpreached area of the world. What is going on may, somehow, result in enough political change that the Gospel is allowed.

The OT prophecies will be fulfilled, but I don't think until all the lost have had an opportunity to hear His Word.

BTW, thanks for the post!

How about:

Psalms 27:1 <> The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I don't know that I'd quote the Old Testament in an attempt to rebute the "violence of the Koran".

The Old Testament isn't so pretty itself.

Do you see Ezekiel 38 and 39 fulfillment on the near horizon?
