Israel: The Eye of the Storm
 
 

 

 
Talking with World Net Daily editor Joseph Farah on air over the weekend, the both of us were intrigued that a nation the size of New Jersey and it's neighbor, Lebanon, the size of Rhode Island, could be causing the world's media to focus on the area 24/7. Since the media have no particular Biblical knowledge, why the attention? Something is drawing them to the "center of the earth" as the Bible calls the Middle East. Even when there is no blatant conflict, there are more journalists stationed in Israel than in any other nation.
There are other wars raging where thousands more are victims but the media pays them little attention and only focuses on the current Middle East conflict. Other news items of the day are not even reported. One has to wonder if there is something in the Heavenlies causing the world to focus on this tiny speck on the map.
Now we learn that Ariel Sharon may pass away in the coming days and when he does the world's diplomats will rush to Jerusalem for a funeral. Again, all eyes on Israel as some of the world's kings, presidents, prime ministers, and more, make their way to God's land.
Yet most churches will tell you there is no relevance as it concerns God's land and people today. The church has replaced her.
The program from July 22 with Joseph Farah and Bill Koenig will be posted later today, Monday, here http://www.olivetreeviews.org/radio/mp3/ If you haven't heard Dr. David Reagan's take on the issue from the week before, I encourage you to check that program out as well. Our "radio archives" are simple to use, even for dial-up users. Also check out our podcasting.
This ministry exists to help you understand the times, generally from a biblical perspective. Those of you receiving these regularly know these columns are not used for fundraising; however, in the dead of summer we often remind our supporters not to forget your local church and para-church ministries like this one. Thanks to those of you who have been generous and who keep us afloat. Your notes and emails mean so much.
NOTE: If you would like us to email you a promotional fall conference flyer for you to hand out or post, please just reply to this email with your email address. You may duplicate the flyer and use at your discretion. The event is October 6-7 in St. Paul, MN: "Understanding the Times 2006" with Joseph Farah, Dr. David Reagan, and Roger Oakland. We will also show the new film "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West." On air Saturday Joseph Farah said that film alone is worth your attendance at the event. All details can be found herehttp://www.olivetreeviews.org/conferences.shtml
As the struggle in Israel and Lebanon only escalates, the world curses, some cheer on the terrorists, but Christians are on their knees. Continue to pray that this war does not worsen and bring in more evil nations, that the enemy be divided and confused, and that God's Sovereign Hand be upon the innocent which makes 20th and 21st century war so difficult. It's not tape-delayed. We watch it and grieve. Good people in both Israel and Lebanon are having their lives shattered. May it make them more open to the gospel.

Awaiting His return, Jan Markell
