I guess Replacementarians must live their whole lives in their dark, tiny, pretend tidy, little boxes.
Ask any minister routinely ministering in deliverance ministry . . . Things have worsened. Some say they have worsened seriously since we went into iraq—something about hoards of stuff being loosed from the pit at that time from that region.
I certainly know from my own life and observations in foreign lands as well as in the usa that the demonized individuals have !not! Become fewer nor mildly demonized.
It is still incredulous to me that even secular folks watching the news the last 10 years alone would think that demonization had decreased! Shocking. My keys really are currently stuck on all caps. And i don’t have time to use replace case on every paragraph.
Pat yourself all over the head and back, you have no idea where we have traveled to, because if we boast, we are to boast in the Lord. Jesus walked everywhere and probably never left a 100 mile square as an adult. Besides the kingdom is within.
And this is the foolishness in believing that today's headlines define history.
Regarding Iraq, if we read beyond the headlines, we will see that the "Surge" in Iraq has "worked" beyond all expectations. The Islamic nations are being wrestled to the ground. If God has chosen to do this by an American army, then God be praised.
