Powers and Principalities
Wickedness Afoot
"Once you recognize what is happening, you have a moral obligation to become involved. Perhaps all you can do is tell others, write letters, or contribute financially to those who are working to expose what is taking place. If you choose to do nothing, you become an accomplice to evil, and one day you will have to answer for your failure to act." ~ Stanley Montieth, Brotherhood of Darkness
Critical thinkers' assessment of the evil occurring in the Middle East is informed by background intel on the parties involved and how they operate. The presstitutes are rapidly losing all credibility with their transparently mendacious narratives, as diabolical inner-workings come to light.
Gary D. Barnett's independent analysis provides a helpful overview:
"After much research, it seems brutally obvious that this situation in Israel was long-planned, as is most always the case, was almost certainly a false flag attack, meant to get the backing of the Israeli people and much of the western world, so that they would accept and support the genocide of the 2 million Palestinian people in Gaza; mostly unarmed, undefended, women and children. Many of the reports and claims of brutality in Israel by the complicit media, have been exposed as lies, but if that is any surprise to anyone, I would be amazed. Certainly, any acts of violence and death of civilians on either side is atrocious, but much has been misrepresented in order to justify the slaughter and murder of the defenseless people of Gaza, who are locked inside a walled concentration camp patrolled by the Israeli military. Most every claim has become suspect, and in essence, these claimed acts of terror could have only occurred if that was the desired plan of the Israeli ruling class all along. This is no surprise, it was no accident, or breach of Israeli security, as the only way this could have happened in my view, was if it was a premeditated and managed plot to bring about the elimination of Palestine, by using and sacrificing the Israeli people as well, and possibly to also bring about a larger-scale regional or world war involving Iran and Russia."

The state of affairs in the world today is surely disconcerting to any rational person. Even so, a solution starts with a populace that realizes what is really going on. Here is an audiocast of intel on the developments in Israel and how they comport with world affairs (if you set aside the 52 1/2 minutes run time to listen, and gird yourself for possible discomfiture, you may be significantly affected or at least informed to a considerable extent by this analysis):
Anyone paying attention and capable of critical thinking beyond mainstream deception must perceive that self-elect powers are creating a one-world government according to, as David Rockefeller put it, "the supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers". The realization that this conflation of hubris and madness has been working out as a war against humanity inclusive of coordinated deadly false flag terrorist attacks can engender hopelessness and despair, but there's a bigger picture...
Who's in control?
As daunting as it is, wickedness in high places should never be considered as infallible, neither is a totalitarian dystopia inevitable. God alone is sovereign and is in total control of every area of life. "…This control includes total control over the plans and conspiracies of the worst of sinful men, yea, even of Satan himself…"1.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God in whom dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, came to reconcile the world to Himself, and save His people from sin and death. God's people are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
-Matthew 10:28
Who are God's people?
Christians are the people of God -- those who bear the name of Jesus Christ and put their trust in Him as Savior and Lord. This faith is a gift of God, not of works, and is independent of any ethnic lineage or geographical location in the modern state of Israel. In the former times Israelites were defined by covenant, not by blood. And besides, as biblical scholar James Jordan has written,
"It is entirely possible that there is not one drop of Abraham's blood in any modern Jew. Of the tiny percentage of Israel that had any of Abraham's blood in the first century, it is possible that all such either became Christians or were slain in the Jewish War of A.D. 70. No one can know for sure about something like this, and it does not matter in the slightest."2
The true sons of the biblical Jews are the spiritual seed of Abraham -- those who embrace the New Covenant in the blood of Christ.
Where then is our hope?
The diffusion and proliferation of the gospel transforming hearts and minds is our blessed hope. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is reigning even now, at the right hand of the Majesty on high, and He must reign til He has put all enemies under His feet.
The horrific events unfolding in this generation may be used to provoke great revival towards the inevitable consummation of the kingdom which has come, is coming, and is to come in final glory. As it is written: The LORD takes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy (Psalm 147:11); and the hope of the righteous will be gladness, but the expectation of the wicked will perish (Proverbs 10:28).
"You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored?" (Matthew 5:13). Keep the faith; spread the good news of salvation!
"Men and women become accomplices to those evils they fail to oppose."
