Luke 19:43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.
A Senator speaking at an event that was alleged to be a gathering of Middle East Christians and their supporters left the stage after being booed for his support of Israel.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz was on the list of speakers for the inaugural “In Defense of Christians” event in Washington, D.C. Cruz was scheduled to speak to the crowd on Wednesday night as part of a series of speakers discussing the need for unity to stand against Islamic terrorism in the region.
However, Cruz was met with boos and harassment when he mentioned Israel.
“Christians have no greater ally than Israel,” Cruz said in his keynote address. Immediately, many Middle Eastern representatives in the crowd started yelling derogatory statements about Cruz and Israel.
“If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews,” Cruz said before leaving the podium, “I will not stand with you.”
The organization behind the event released a statement saying those in attendance who disrupted Cruz did not adhere to the principles of the organization.
“Tonight’s injection of politics when the focus should have been on unity and faith, momentarily played into the hands of a few who do not adhere to IDC’s principles,” stated In Defense of Christians President Toufic Baaklini. “Tonight’s events make clearer than ever, that In Defense of Christians is desperately needed in a world that remains divided to the point where even the most fundamental value of life and human dignity are cast aside.”
I only pray that they ask GOD’s forgiveness.They need to read God” word.People are doing and saying what they want not what God ask of them.You have to forgive in order to be forgiven.
AMEN!!!
Some Middle East Christians believe that Israel is inhabited by imposters (for lack of a better word) and they readily believe that lie because they will never be happy with Israel as it is. They are ripe pickins’ for the anti-Christ, just as were the ‘Christians’ in Hitler’s society. Any ‘Christian’ who looks with hate on Israel relinquishes their own forgiveness and is no longer qualified to enter heaven but will be given over to the tormentors until their debt is paid, which will be never, since they have despised the blood that they were washed in, and counted it unworthy: the pure spotless blood, shed for the forgiveness of sin, by the Holy Lamb of God, a Jewish Messiah!
I’m sorry that the Senator was exposed to anti-Semitism in a place where it should have been unthinkable, and I pray that he will find his way back to where there remain those of us who still stand in awe of what God Almighty has done with and through Israel that has all added up to Salvation for us. I’m grateful! We must be grateful for what God has done, and the awful price that He paid to do it. God hates an ingrate but O how much He loves us! O how much He gives us chance upon chance!
Let your Glory fill the earth, O God! Let the earth be covered with the knowledge of God! Let everyone who calls them self a Christian now understand that they must choose forgiveness in order to enter into life, in Jesus’ name. Not everyone will enter in, for great is the pathway that leads to destruction, and narrow is the way that leads to life.
