The United States and the War in Ukraine (Part Two)
Part One As an issue, the war between Ukraine and Russia is a very complex, complicated situation. I hear both left and right criticizing the Trump administration on its handling of the war. When you listen carefully, you hear something about support for Ukraine. What in fact is support for Ukraine? Support for Ukraine? People […]
The Tension in Scripture Between God’s Covenant with and Chastisement of Israel
Part One Part Two Theological Tension Theological tension refers to the concept in Christian theology where seemingly contradictory truths coexist and must be held in balance without reducing their complexity. Tension acknowledges that the Bible presents multifaceted truths that, although appearing to conflict, are, in fact, complementary. Sometimes men use other terms, such as […]
Eschatology Is Affecting the Foreign Policy of the United States
Part One Premillennialism and Foreign Policy A large percentage, I would say 35% of the population, of Americans is premillennial. Almost 100 percent of those were Trump voters in the 2024 election. Premillennialism takes literally the Old and New Testament promises to Israel. Amillennialism and postmillennialism are growing in the United States, but it is […]
My Personal Observations of Israel as a Story
Airport Tel Aviv I’ve been to Israel in person. My wife and I landed at the Tel Aviv Airport, the second largest city in Israel, even though you wouldn’t know Jerusalem was largest. Tel Aviv has skyscrapers and to an American it looks like a major city. Jerusalem doesn’t. It looks like nothing you’ve ever […]
The Dovetailing of Biblical Eschatology and United States Foreign Policy
Religious Influence on Government Virginia Baptists under the leadership of John Leland influenced James Madison and his writing of the Bill of Rights. They wouldn’t vote for ratification of the Constitution in Virginia without freedom of religion in a first amendment. This was a quid pro quo situation for the Baptists and Madison. After the […]
The New Rising Hatred Against Israel in the United States
Jews are a relatively small group of people compared to the whole world. Israel is a tiny, little nation. They are a couple of gnats landing on a large person. Proportionally the Jews and Israel receive a very big, gigantic reaction from the rest of the world. Admittedly, I notice the Jews every day even […]
Democrats Most Astonishing Hate of Democracy
The Symbol of the Reichstag in Germany A pivotal moment in Hitler’s rise in Germany came from the Nazi burning of the Reichstag. They started the fire, put it out, and then blamed it on the Communists. Democrats in the United States steal this act in a campaign to destroy democracy. The Nazis convinced a […]
My Take on the Complicated World Scene That Includes Ukraine, Russia, and Israel (part four)
Part One Part Two Part Three What Is the Greatest Danger? A good question to ask when evaluating United States domestic and foreign policy is “what is the greatest danger to the country?” When I grew up during the Cold War, the Soviet Union was a monumental threat to the security of the United […]
My Take on the Complicated World Scene That Includes Ukraine, Russia, and Israel (part two)
Part One Israel-Palestinian Conflict From a biblical viewpoint, the Israel-Palestinian conflict started when Abraham sinned with Hagar, who bore Ishmael. Ishmael fathers the Arab people and Isaac the Jewish. Complicating this further, 93% of Arabs are Muslim of some kind. Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook in “Kill a Jew – Go to Heaven: The Perception […]
My Take on the Complicated World Scene That Includes Ukraine, Russia, and Israel
Division Over Israel What’s going on in foreign policy in the world is one of the most interesting variations of division that I’ve seen in my lifetime. Positions divide normal allies and unify former enemies. It’s a challenge even in theological circles with diverse interpretations of biblical prophecy. The event of October 7, 2023 with […]
