re: It’s terrible to contemplate the evil we face. I don’t think I’m overdramatizing when I say that the vast satanic wickedness Israel and America are facing is akin to what animated the forces of evil in World War II.

I agree. It is earth changing and history shattering what happened at the UN the week with an American president unilaterally throwing Israel under the bus and siding with those who design to destroy Israel. I am totally dismayed. I believe what the Bible says when it says to Abraham & his descendants that God will bless those that bless them and curse those that curse them. Nothing good can come of Obama decision to stand against Israel in support of a terrorist nation.

Several quotes come to mind from Lord of the Rings where good is pitted against evil. I believe we are in precisely the same situation:

Galadriel: The power of the enemy is growing. Sauron will use his puppet Saruman to destroy the people of Rohan. Isengard has been unleashed. The Eye of Sauron now turns to Gondor, the last free kingdom of men. His war on this country will come swiftly. He senses the Ring is close. The strength of the Ringbearer is failing. In his heart, Frodo begins to understand. The quest will claim his life. You know this. You have foreseen it. It is the risk we all took. In the gathering dark, the will of the Ring grows strong. It works hard now to find its way back into the hands of men. Men, who are so easily seduced by its power. The young captain of Gondor has but to extend his hand, take the Ring for his own and the world will fall. It is close now, so close to achieving its goal. For Sauron will have dominion over all life on this Earth, even unto the ending of the world. The time of the elves is over. Do we leave Middle-Earth to its fate? Do we let them stand alone?


Gandalf: The fate of the world will now be decided.


Theoden: So it begins.

And this:

Pippin: "It's so quiet."

Gandalf: "It's the deep breath before the plunge."

Pippin: "I don't want to be in a battle. But waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse."

Isn’t it amazing how prescient Tolkien was. Truly, much of his work was God-inspired.
