This new year is just chock full of surprises. Now, after the fall of the government in Tunisia, Egypt is under siege, with Jordan also exhibiting extreme stress! All around the Middle East any government that has been friendly to the U.S. or Israel, seems to be under great attack and the results most likely will be that Muslim extremists will instill new forms of government that will no longer tolerate Israel or the U.S.! Relationship with these new governments will be tenuous at best! Christians and Jews are already pretty much hated and persecuted throughout the region and will be more so now.
Quite a few of these Muslim organizations that are vying for power want to instill Sharia Law, which treats women like property, and punishes homosexuals with the death penalty, in addition to the killing of Christians and Jews who do not renounce their faith!
"And He said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, did you lack anything? And they said, Nothing. Then He said unto them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one!" Luke 22: 35& 36.
Adhering to the tenets of Christianity calls for us to try the way of peace FIRST! However, here Christ clearly is telling us that, if necessary, the taking of life in self defense or in defense of those that are weak and defenseless may be necessary at times. Please keep this in mind as we watch what is happening over there. We could be getting a glimpse of what will be happening in the streets of America in 20 or 30 years, if our government continues to ignore the will of the people!
