Following a good night's sleep, I have to say my comments last night were overdramatic :-). However, I would still observe that the outcome looks bleak for American Jews, unless there's a significant reversal of societal trends.
The alignment of radical leftists with Moslems is particularly hostile to Orthodox Jews. Considering TomSmedley's comments - and looking at my own little army - maybe the rabbi isn't just thinking wishfully about American Christians' taking a stand to defend the Jews. Maybe enough of us will, if it comes to that point.
satan HATES the Jews because Jesus came from among them. he has always tried to destroy them but God has always preserved a remnant. Anti-semitism isn't new, as you know. This is a spiritual battle and can only be won through interaction with a Holy God and his archangel, Michael, who is the prince over Israel, its protector. God will not allow Israel to be destroyed. Injured, yes, but never destroyed no matter how loudly the Iranian president shouts. We always need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and also our Jewish people here in America, to know the God of their fathers!
