I almost dare not write this. But I feel I dare not not. What I see is vivid as daylight. I have to let it out.
Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel has an ability shared by surely very few if any other men: to invoke with words the deep pain that has etched itself forever on his face.
Friday, he stood beside US President Barack Obama at Buchenwald, recalling how his father had died in that very same Nazi camp, just below him, and yet all alone. For nearly a year, father and son had been through hell together. And then, three months before liberation, it ended for his dad. After enduring the unendurable, his life had slipped away.
“The day he died was one of the darkest in my life. He became sick, weak, and I was there. I was there when he suffered. I was there when he asked for help, for water. I was there to receive his last words. But I was not there when he called for me, although we were in the same block; he on the upper bed and I on the lower bed. He called my name, and I was too afraid to move. All of us were. And then he died. I was there, but I was not there.”
As Wiesel spoke, his voice breaking, the sides of his mouth downturned in the anguish that clearly yet eats away inside him 64 years after that loss, tears must have been flowing in a million or more households where the moment was watched on TV. They surely flowed here.
Even more fell, as I watched Wiesel turn and appeal to Obama; pleading with him:
“Mr. President, we have such high hopes for you because you, with your moral vision of history, will be able and compelled to change this world into a better place, where people will stop waging war…
“And of course this hope includes so many of what now would be your vision for the future, Mr. President. A sense of security for Israel, a sense of security for its neighbors, to bring peace in that place. The time must come. It’s enough — enough to go to cemeteries, enough to weep for oceans. It’s enough”
He sounded so despairing, so trusting, at the same time, so without any real hope.
And this thought knifed through my mind, almost blasphemous, too quick to stop, too piercing to pretend away, too terrible to ignore:
My heart felt squeezed, crushed.
How awful, how wicked, that the memory of the mass murder of Jews be used to pave the way for the mass murder of more.
I don’t want to believe it, but it won’t go away. The evidence of history - the history of the Jews, the history of the last century, the history of the last 20 years - it’s inescapable for me. Undeniable.
President Obama has set his course to propel Israel by pressure into the death trap of “two-states-for-two-peoples.” Positioning himself as a visionary, as a man of peace, as a man who really cares, he is seducing the world with lies about Islam, seducing Israel with lies about American friendship, and even seducing Elie Wiesel into putting his hope in the new American administration.
Before the survivor spoke, Obama scored Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other Holocaust deniers:
“We are here today because we know this work is not yet finished. To this day, there are those who insist that the Holocaust never happened — a denial of fact and truth that is baseless and ignorant and hateful. This place is the ultimate rebuke to such thoughts; a reminder of our duty to confront those who would tell lies about our history.
“Also to this day, there are those who perpetuate every form of intolerance — racism, anti-Semitism, … hatred that degrades its victims and diminishes us all. … This places teaches us that we must be ever vigilant about the spread of evil in our own time, that we must reject the false comfort that others’ suffering is not our problem and commit ourselves to resisting those who would subjugate others to serve their own interests.”
What breath stealing hypocrisy. The president’s condemnation of Ahmadinejad for denying the Holocaust( comes just days after he hosted at the White House a man who chose Holocaust denial for his doctoral thesis and who heads up an organization the consistently lauds Holocaust deniers: Mahmoud Abbas and his Palestinian Authority (PA).
Abbas denies the Holocaust even as his PA works - as clearly documented by the Palestinian Media Watch (http://www.pmw.org.il/) and even acknowledged two years ago by Hillary Clinton - to poison the minds of their children against the Jews, to brainwash them into believing that they must and will destroy Israel, and to prepare the way to accomplish exactly that, using the two-state-solution as the jumping off point for their final solution.
Friday’s stint with Wiesel must have been very precisely planned - so carefully choreographed. It took to a whole new level Obama’s recent and increasingly high-profile speeches about America’s determination to “help bring peace to the Middle East” - coating them in the oil of compassion; and presenting them as the heartfelt wishes of a world leader moved to the depths of his soul.
How can Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and his already divided government hope to resist and withstand such an overwhelming wave of sentiment and emotion?
How will Israel now be able to refuse Obama’s wish, the wish of the world, that it embrace the “solution” mandating the cutting in half of the Jews’ tiny, historic homeland; the suicide of the Jewish state?
This seems so useless; trying to write about it. Yes, I see these things clear as the daylight, but feel pathetically powerless to do anything about it at all.
If only what I put down would pierce, spear, rivet those who read it, drive them to act.
But it dribbles out; ineffectual, embarrassing, weak. Unable to make a difference. Unable to change a thing.
God alone can turn this around. God alone.
Without Him, the Jewish people would never have survived. Without Him, Israel will not survive.
May we indeed see Him act, speedily coming to the rescue of His Chosen People and their Promised Land.
My tears of frustration are shared with yours Stan. As you so rightly put it “God alone”….Oh dear Israel….
Has the time truly come when none have the power to do anything to defend Israel except for God? If this be so, this is a great day. For truly, God is able and ready. FEAR NOT my brother! Fear NOT!!! STAND and WATCH THE POWER OF THE LORD WHO IS ABLE TO SAVE!
It is unbelieveable to live in a time when so many say they believe in the Bible, and so few have ever felt the desire to read what is in it. Our leaders ( USA) seem to be heck bent on destroying the primary reason for G-d’s grace on this land by damaging the place chosen by H-m. Like somehow we can seperate ourselves from Isreal and the Jews, when they are the parents, the first to have know the G-d we worship. Reminds my of so many times in the Bible where it is said by H-m. How could you even imagine such a thing as this. Did you really think that this would please me.
You are so on target here. Only God can stop such a thing as this. The world imagines peace and fair play using a standard other that G-d’s. So innocent, so short sighted
As I heard Obama’s speech in Cairo, I kept thinking, “how can anyone who has won the seat of the most powerful position in the world, be so naive?”
I too, heard the lies. The flattery of Islam. It was nauseating. As an American, I’m ashamed. As a believer, I plead for mercy.
The light at the end of the tunnel is the fact that Israel’s future is GUARANTEED. By the God of Israel.
But not so America. May God have mercy.
Yes,we know that we could expect this,because it is predicted in the Bible.Let we pray fervently for repentance and for good fruit-for Israel and for ourselves and for endurance,because of the coming fiery God’s anger.Would you pray for the world Church-to rise from the death?Because,if God grants us this miracle,many of Israel would be saved.
One more thing, Stan. As I thought of Obama’s naivete, I wondered what he would say if he were to see this:
Click here
Stan as usual an excellant item. Always remember: The L RD OUR G D , as promised in Joel,can execute HIS judgement in a nanosecond and the great United States would be no more.
My heart goes out to the Jewish people and the land of Israel. God is the only hope. May God bless you for your dedicated work for His people.
Sha’lu Shalom Y’rushalay’im. Amayn.
OUR GOD WILL PROTECT AND KEEP HIS CHOSEN NATION AND HER PEOPLE.
THANK YOU MY LORD FOR ALL YOUR MERCY.
BOBBIE
I don’t know what to say, I am listening though and watching.
Stan, what sad and tragic words and what frustration as we see Obama with such rhetoric and silken words seducing the world. May God give Netanyahu the strenghth he needs to withstand this blatant gauntlet being cast before Israel - actually, before God!
Without Him the Jewish people would never have survived.
Without Him Israel will not survive.
WITHOUT HIM !! Without Him there is nothing. How very, very true.
I HEAR YOUR LAMENT FOR YOUR COUNTRY AND PEOPLE. ALSO, I HAVE THE SAME LAMENT FOR MY COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE. I CAN NOT SEE OUR (USA) END BUT I CAN SEE YOURS IN THE SCRIPTURE. JEREMIAH WROTE HIS LAMENT IN THE TIME OF ISRAEL’S TROUBLE AND HE COULD SEE HOPE IN THE PROMISE OF THE SAVIOUR. THIS MAY BE THE COMING OF THE DAYS FOR JACOB’S GREAT TROUBLE. YOU IN CONCLUSION OF YOUR COMMENTARY CAME TO THE ANSWER. GOD ALONE CAN SAVE US. IT SEEMS THAT WE HERE IN THE USA HAVE GIVEN OURSELVES TO THE ENEMY AND NO ONE WILL LISTEN. IT IS IF WE ARE LIKE JOHN THE BAPTIST AS A VOICE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS. WITH ALL THATS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD TODAY THIS WORD CAME TO ME JUN 4(YESTERDAY). IT WILL GIVE US HOPE IF WE CAN HEAR HIM; I QUOTE: NAHUM CHAPTER 1 VERSE 7 “THE LORD IS GOOD, A STRONG HOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE, AND HE KNOWETH THEM THAT TRUST IN HIM.” HOW WONDERFUL TO KNOW THAT HE KNOWS YOURS AND MY HEART.
Stan,
It’s déjà vu all over again like the 1930’s when like Chamberlain, Obama is appeasing a new Hitler along with the surrounding Muslim nations with smooth talks and blessings for a “new beginning” for all. Unfortunately, the Jews ignored the warnings of a previous Hitler and six million died. They are not going to sit and ignore the threats of the new Hitler in Iran. This may be the single reason why a bulldog like Churchill (Bibi) will not let another Holocaust get off the ground and rebut Obama’s policies. As far as two-state solution goes, God would not allow it to happen. Remember, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape” (1Thessalonians 5:3). Obama is playing with fire and may incur God’s wrath if harm comes to Israel. It may soon that like England in 1940, Israel may stand alone. If the United States will not support Israel, then God will protect her from the world.
O Children of Israel, my heart grieves for you! I want to give to you a magnet motor that can provide power for anything needed. It uses no fuel, and can do any work needed. It was given to me and I will give it to you. I also have knowledge of a transmission I invented that can be coupled with this motor that has mechanical force power from 1 to 0 up to 1 to 1. No friction is needed to drive anything. It is all piece to piece powerful. Dr. Peterson
As I watched I felt all the emotions you expressed so well. I felt sick and heartbroken as Mr. Wiesel spoke. As I watched President Obama, the thought that kept running through my mind was “What a wicked, wicked man you are”. Thank you for your column. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. He that keepth Jerusalem neither slumbers nor sleeps.
Day before yesterday I received an email stating Obama was spending the night at the Saudi King’s ranch. This email stated that Obama said the USA is one of the largest populated muslim countries. Frankly I want to do through the screen of my computer. I was just furious. Because this was just one more of Obama’s lies.
I sent the email to nearly every man I knew and then it dawned on me why I had done that. I was hoping some man I knew would do something. What they could do I don’t know. But as I walked and prayed I heard these words in my Spirit. “I will take care of it” I heard those words three times. I knew then THE HUSBAND OF THE BRIDE would take care of it.
So it is with Israel. We must keep our eyes and ears focused on God and TRUST HIM. And OBEY as He directs.
Let’s keep on worshiping the King of Kings, the only Father and Creator and recognize the Guidance of the Holy Spirit.. Thy Kingdom Come Thy Will be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
We need to consistantly encourage one another as you do with your newsletters and scripture.
Thanks Stan. God Bless you and your family in Jesus name, amen.
You are not alone in your fear…I know of no one that is not praying for Israel and God’s Chosen People. Keep the faith…He is in control.
Your article echoes my sentiments and frustrations exactly but so very much more eloquently. It is my hope that if you say it, I say it and others say it, someone somewhere will stand and organize an opposition to this madness. The time seems so short.
Susan at http://www.Israelolivetree.org
Stan , I do see what you are saying,and of course know only God can stop this But, as I read the Bible I also see the ending, ( GOD WILL!!)
Bring on Ezekiel 38 & 39 That will fix the two or 55 state solution.Satans control of Islam will be another flop, God The Father,The Son &The holy Spirit have it all under control, we just do not like the waiting.
Dear Brother Stan:
I agree with all the statements made by you in this column. It is a very dark day for
America when we turn our back on Israel. Obama is either too stupid to know
better, or his heart is with the Mullims. I am beginning to think that the latter is the
reality of the matter.
Stan, thanks for your article. I agree with you. Having just heard Malcolm Hedding and Susan Michaels less than a week ago, to all you have said, let us cry out to the Lord for mercy and pray, pray, pray, as scripture commands us, for our leaders and let our voice be heard in heaven first, and then, hear on earth!
Psalm 2 is a huge encouragement to us all - because it is true: “He who sits in the heavens laughs! He shall terrify them in His wrath - saying, ‘I have installed My King on My holy hill of Zion!’”
I truly can not take witnessing all of this. The burden on my heart and soul is unbelievable. There are just no words to convey how I’m feeling. But I know my burden is shared by all who so love Israel and the Jewish people. Our only comfort at this time is reading God’s promises for His beloved Israel. Amen.
Indeed, only the Lord God of Israel can help His People and all of us. May we see Him go before Israel as in the days when He went out with Israel’s army in the conquest of the Promised Land. He will do so again. I grieve and I rage in my heart for what this man is doing to my country and because I am seeing him turning the U.S. against not only their ally, but their FRIEND. And I feel powerless. May the Lord God have mercy on the U.S. and come quickly to rescue Israel. I KNOW He will not forget His Children. He is the LORD. He will come.
Stan:
My spirit cries out for Israel. As well, my spirit cries out for the U.S.! I, too, feel hopelessness in my own ability. However, Our Father G-d who hears our cries does not let our tears fall to the ground unnoticed. He takes each one to His own heart, I truly believe that.
It is ONLY because of that, and because of the prayers of so many crying out for mercy, that His hand is stayed from wiping any and all humans from the face of the earth. I can feel his anguish and frustration that we do not “get it”. We do not understand the need to hit our knees and cry out.
Instead we stand, and quote scripture about how strong and victorious we are, in Him. Little do we truly understand that to stand strong and victorious we first must kneel, humble and weak in and our ourselves before the Lord. (In our weakness HE is strong).
Until we learn to (as an old “Petra” song states) “get on your knees and fight like a man”(or woman), we will have learned very little of that which G-d desires to do.
We must pray FOR President Obama to hear the Lord’s truth. We must pray FOR President Obama to seek G-d’s guidance. We must pray FOR a change in the heart of our president and for ALL those who seek the Lord.
And we need to let Him change us. Would that all Israel do the same! To seek the Lord G-d who established that people and that nation both through Abraham and re-established Israel in 1948.
Dear G-d! I am sorry for my part in not praying enough, for not seeking enough, and for not speaking up enough on behalf of the people of the covenant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
As a Christian woman, I repent for my pride. Have mercy on the people of the United States, please Lord!
Have mercy on Your people Israel. Preserve Israel. Show mankind that You are greater than any of Your enemies. Show mankind that Your Word is truth. Let not praises of allah resound in the streets of the world because of the peril of the people you have said you are in covenant with forever. Do not allow mankind, those who worship false gods, even their own way, to point a finger and say of Israel: “See? Their G-d has no covenant. Their G-d runs away from allah. Their G-d gives them no hope. He lies”.
No, Father G-d! I pray not! Do not give a place to the enemy of our souls to mock You and the work You have done to preserve us, and to preserve Israel. Do not let him mock Your eternal covenant with the decendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not let ANYONE call Your truth a lie.
We cry out to You dear Lord! Have mercy on the U.S.. Have mercy on the lack of discernment. Have mercy on us, although we do not deserve any, for the rebellion of heart. Have mercy that we have not listened to You.
Prayerfully,
amen
…..do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. (Isaiah 62)
I do have a question that has puzzled since I learned of it: why does the Knesset have anti-semetics in her ranks?
Judgment awaits for those touches the apple of Gods eye (Zechariah 2:8)
A Christian would not divide Jerusalem
i do wish israel be left to decide for themselves yet we standing with them all the way. may god bless them and protect them from their enemies. i stand along with them in a prayer of faith.
I am in the US. I think all thinking Christians that understand what is really going on feel the same as you. Atleast you have a voice, I feel I have none, no way to vent the truth. You are right for sure that only God can remedy this situation, but we have to stick together and pray together for Israel and the worlds Jews and Christians everywhere. He is still large and in charge. Larger than all Obamas sugar coated speeches full of lies that only few can see through. Remember, if God is for us, who can be against us. Do not fear of man who can only kill the body, but God who has our souls in his hands. Do not fear, All things work for good for those who love God and are called according to his purposes. You have Iranian missles and Obama threatening you, we have North Korean missles and Obama in control of us as our president . God help us all! Perfect love cast out all fear!!! Bless you Stan
May the scales fall from ALL eyes that the Messiah HAS already come and will call His children up soon! May ALL people of the world drop to their face in front of the LIVING GOD! There IS something we as Christians can do. Tell everyone that you know about the FREE GIFT of salvation through the blood of Jesus! The light will always offend the darkness but better to love and share the Gospel message than for that person to spend eternity in hell. Have you shared the message of the love of Christ with anyone yet today? If not WHY NOT! The door is still open but not for long.
Personally, I feel that God will allow some type of destructive and painful act in America that will impel American Jews to return to Israel, politically resetting a capitulation collective mindset.
Psalm 121:4, “Behold, He that keepeth ISRAEL shall neither slumber nor sleep.
Why does Israel need anyone? To heck with everyone else. All Israel needs is God. Stop crying. You have God, don’t you!!!!??! Be strong. Take heart. You have nothing to fear anymore. The Lord is God. Let all Israel turn to HIm and Him alone, not to Obama. What’s up with Elie Weisel? What is up with all Jewish people, hoping to get some bone from BHO. This man is but a man, a crafty man, a political man…when did God ever say “trust in man?” Never!!! Everyone of you should know by now that ISRAEL IS ALONE in the world–oh people of little faith. Were are the Joshua’s and the Calebs?
When I hear these things it stirs in me both tears and and nausea. The blatant lies that come out of Obamas mouth and the way the world sucks them up like candy. The trouble with candy is that though it is sweet in the mouth it causes illness and decay. Our world is in a desperate state and these are desperate times and yet the thing that get’s to me is that the majority of those who call themselves christians are ignorant of the truth, and they are ignorant by choice just as the people of Germany chose ignorance as the truth was to great to bare.
The people of the US by voting Obama into power have set these event in motion, we as a nation are just as responsible as he is for what comes next. What is happening to Israel God forewarned us of in His word He also declared his intention to rescue His people by His own hand (and accompnied by those who follow Him) when ALL the nations turn against her. Praise YHWH He wil do it! He also delcares what will happen to those who declare “peace , peace” when there is no peace. That destruction will come swiftly. This nation , the United States of America has brought Gods wrath upon itself and the burden upon my heart is both for Israel whom I love and for the US where I live ‘and I belive God has laid two things upon my heart for both Israel and the US, one: the men would stand up and intercede for these nations to stand in the gap just as Moses did for Sodom and Gommorah and two: that women would heed the call to weep, to grieve over the sins of this nation and call out for Gods mercy.
Stan I stand in ageement with you,” May we indeed see Him act, speedily coming to the rescue of His Chosen People and their Promised Land”.
On sunday morning Feb. 8, 2009 at 3:30 am., I was crying out in pain for the sufferings of Israel and the entire world. I ask the Lord to “deliver us from evil speedily” He answered me at 7:00 am by waking me with these 8 words!
“I can accomplish the accompany in one minute”,
and this is what he was telling me…..
” I can accomplish ( to bring to completion : fulfill : to equip thoroughly : perfect )
the accompany (to go with as an associate or companion intended to give completeness in one minute” (a short space of time : a moment portion or point of time : an instant )
God has a time plan and He has called the church to be His associate or companion intended to give completeness ” and it will be accomplished right on time!!!! We are called to be Kings and Priest and to rule and reign with him through out all eternity..Rev. 1:6
We must be praying not “to God”, but with God , face to face”. That can only be done as we humbly ourselves and turn from our wicked (fleshly ways) and seek His face”. Jesus tells us to, ” Watch and pray that we may accounted worthy to escape all that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man”. Luke 21:36 The world will one day know that ” Israell is a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all nations”. and Jerusalem shall dwell safely, and she shall be called , ” the Lord our righteousness”.Jeremiah 33: 9 & 16 Even so come speedily Lord Jesus”.” Jesus tells us in John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” “Even so come speedily Lord Jesus”.
I don’t worry about the” economy” any more, its the “accompany” we need to be concerned about”. !!
Exactly 42 years ago today, Jerusalem was “returned” to the Jews. The times of the Gentiles are now ended and Jerusalem will never be divided again. Every empire that has come against Israel in the past is no longer in power today. The Jews are still around in spite of centuries of persecution and dispersion. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem, but pray also for America…. “For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you [Israel] shall perish, and those nations shall be utterly ruined” (Isa 60:12). I fear more for the survival of America than I do the nation of Israel!
The unfolding of this, the depth of the lies and deception, can indeed squeeze your heart and make it hard to breath. And yes, Elie Wiesel, absolutely, it is enough. Hold on. He is on his way, your Messiah, to answer your plea, to put things right, and we are waiting with you.
(Has anyone else read Caroline Glick’s excellent June 5 Jerusalem Post article ‘Obama’s Arabian Dreams’? Glick explains that when we look below the surface, Obama’s statements that rebuke Holocaust deniers and declare the truth of the Holocaust cover the fact that he is actually helping to reinforce the Arab lie that the only reason Israel exists in the Middle East is because of post-Holocaust European guilt. By tying the rebirth of Israel specifically to the Holocaust through statements like this one he made in Cairo, “the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history”, Glick points out that Obama is actually helping to support the lie that “the Jews have no legal, historic or moral rights to the Land of Israel” (her words). That little revelation took my breath away and the visit to Buchenwald suddenly took on a cold and calculating new significance.)
Esther Pollard said it well to Obama
“your problem isn’t with Prime Minister Netanyahu, nor is it with the People of Israel. Your problem, Mr. President, is with the almighty God of Israel!”

Obama is a chameleon changing his attitude depending on with whom he speaks. He has two goals though: to destroy Israel and to unfold himself and make clear that he is a Muslim. I have come to my conclusion about this man. His aggressive approach towards Israel has been long planned and has begun to unfold now he is in power and his gloryfying of Islam and the Arab countries have been long planned, too..
Ex-Defense Minister Arens: ‘We Must Build Up Settlements’
Israelnationalnews
As you read the book in the Bible called Revelation it explains what will happen in the last days. God inspired the apostle John to write
God’s words down so we would know what is going to happen when all nations turn against Israel.
There is no panic in heaven.. God is watching! He promises to protect Israel, the apple of His eye! When all nations turn against Israel, He Himself, the Bridegroom, will come to protect His Bride! Look Up, Your Redemption Draweth Nigh… (Near)…
Stan, I should have got up for our morning prayers, I would have seen your reaction in real space not cyber space. After Obama spoke and the next ridiculous act of this never ending drama continued, I sensed the Lord whisper to me that Israel will trust in Me alone. We are coming so close to that point, that it is time to recalibrate our thinking and actions to prepare for the inevitable.
To the intercessors and lovers of Zion in the US and the nations the clarion call is to prayer for war, physical and spiritual.

You should read this.
I am a Christian, dedicated to our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. I cry bitter tears for Israel, I know that our God will come and he will destroy all that come against his chosen, they have fought many battles and is hated by most nations and people except them that truly love them and their God who became our God, when the Jews were blinded: but now I see the re-grafting of the natural branches back into the Vine coming soon to the Jewish people, God will bring his people in and their redemption is drawing near. I also weep for our nation of the USA, it seems so many are walking around blind, not seeing that Good is called evil and evil is now called good, I see our nation taking God out of every place and no one fights against that. Now we will watch as our beloved nation is brought low from turning their backs on Israel and pushing God out: I weep and weep as I see the Bible full filled and very soon the appearing of our King:Will he find faith on earth?
Dear Stan-
I share in your anguish regarding the fate of our beloved Israel and the Jewish people,humanly speaking, but rejoice in the eternal truth that the fate of Israel and the Jewish people is in the hand of the Sovereign God whose covenant with His chosen ones will be accomplished.
“God alone” is exactly the place where He wants us to be, Stan. “God alone” is not a place of dead ends or a place of weakness. Rather, it is an incredible place of strength and the beginning of everything our hearts long for! It is when we come to that place where there is nothing and no one else but God, that His mightiest acts can come forth. That is the very place to which Israel must come, where we all must come, before He can act on her behalf. And He will act! And yet, in my human frailty, my heart echoes the – dare I say - horror – your words evoke…
Has America, has the world, any concept of who this man is, whom they have applauded as the messiah of the world? Do they have any notion of the cliff to which they are being led by this Pied Piper who has seemingly arisen from nowhere, whose past is being kept veiled, and yet whose charisma has charmed the masses? Sometimes as I watch and listen to him, waves of nausea threaten to overtake me. The deception is so strong, so tangible, that I feel sick, and I wonder what kind of a crazy nightmare the world has plunged into. But then I realize anew that we have not stepped into a nightmare at all, but into the reality of the prophetic unfolding of God’s purposes and plans.
Not too long ago you prayed a prayer for me Stan. I think right now would be a good time to pray a small but powerful part of it to the Father, on your behalf:
“Heavenly Father
Hear … all the prayers and cries in [Stan’s] heart. Count [his] tears, and may they move You to act Father, for as a far greater child of Yours once reminded You, Your City and Your People are called by Your name.
Amen.”
I had to add a thank you to all those who have included links for further reading. I’ll check them all out.
I went back and forth last night with someone who just doesn’t “get it” as to why the USA has no business butting into Israel’s affairs; why the palestinians have no right to even an ounce of Israel’s land; etc. This person really believes that Obama will bring peace to the middle east IF ONLY Israel will agree to what he wants! AARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! HOW FRUSTRATING!!!
I can not even imagine what Bibi is going through right now with this tremendous amount of pressure bombarding him from every nation!
I have heard the serpent speaking smooth things to to each of his audiences.
I plead to the Lord to have mercy on America. Not all of us agree with this father of lies called our president. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
Our president is too “programmed” to be acting on a purely human level. This seems to be a classic case of warfare against “principalities and powers.” Another example of this would be the complete reversal George Bush underwent, from Israeli defender to Israel “two-stater”.
If the people of America who are called by the name of Yeshua will humble themselves and pray, things will change for this nation. Otherwise, the seduction will grow worse.
We are with you, Stan. We feel nauseated, chilled. We say to the Lord, “We don’t know what to do. Our eyes are on You.”
We here in our prayer closets have been years in training for such a day as this. There is no way that our G-D will allow this tiny Nation to be taken and over run by the enemy of our soul. It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of a angry G-D. We shall prevail, I have read the end of the story and Obama shall and will bow his knee to The Lord of all.
It never ceases to amaze me that opossition to God can organize and get their message heard. We as Christians sit back and wait for someone to do it for us. Stan I applaud you. You are doing something. We need to continually pray without ceasing. We are secure in the knowledge, we are protected from fire and damnation. We need to continue to spread the Gospel. We need to trust in the Lord. I pray for Israel. I know the outcome. We all do, GOD WINS. Please trust in the Lord. Continue to Pray, spread the good news.
I have one more comment regarding Obama. He is a contradictory man. He changes with the direction of the wind. He is inconsistent and contradictory of himself in his own speeches. Pray that God will reveal him to all men. The more people who see him for what he is the less impact he will have on policy here and abroad.
We must not lose heart…..we must have unwavering faith…..our greatest strength is on our knees. We must hold up Netanyahu. He is God’s man for this time. God will give Bibi the strength he needs to STAND against the two-state solution.
God is Able (if we pray it into being) to unite Bibi’s administration to Stand together as no other administration has done in the history of our world.
We must pray for all the people of little Israel…….that all scales will fall from their eyes, and they will be moved with great urgency to intercessory prayer…..even those who do not know the great I AM. God is ABLE to make a way where there seems to be no way.
We must all pray for Obama…..He is young and has been brain-washed by those that feed him the speeches and his marching orders…..We Must pray for all scales to be moved from his eyes quickly. We must pray that God will strategically place godly men and women in close contact daily with Obama…..we must pray that all ungodly men and women in his administration will be supernaturally moved out, and all replacements will belong to Yeshua….it is not impossible….it can happen, if enough of us pray, it will come to pass.
Stan, you are a true watchman with a servant’s heart. Your words and your efforts are not in vain.
I feel sorry for Elie Wiesel–that he wasted so much energy on hoping & believing in Obama. If only Elie would’ve acquainted himself with Obama’s past 20-yr record, he would’ve known that Obama is probably a Muslim and a very cold-hearted, angry man. He sat for 20 yrs. in Rev. Wright’s church and heard angry diatribes weekly–and agreed with what he heard!
He doesn’t listen, he dictates. He is an evil, malevolent man who first and foremost is in love with himself and his moment in the spotlight. Obama is God’s judgment on America. We’ve received what we have deserved–long overdue.
I wish everyone in the US would read your article, and grasp the truth. We are being so mislead by a deceptive man, who lied his way into office and is now setting forth on his true mission. Everything he says exposes what kind of man has stupidly been placed in the seat of power, by people in this country who didn’t have the sense or take the time to look past the fancy speeches to Obama’s past. I never believed he was Christian and I said so at every opportunity to nmerous people. He couldn’t say the tihings he does and be one. I fear we will discover soon that he is and always has been Muslim and is now bent on converting our country any way he can, even through violence if necessary.
Fortunately, he is only a man and our Heavenly Father is in charge. I know He will not let Israel be divided, but the US will pay a big price if we do not stay a supporter and friend of Israel. The Bible tells us, I believe it is in Isiah, that we must remain as a supporter or we will perish. The Jews are our forebearers and we must respect them in all ways.
We better get on our knees and pray unendingly for God to take over and put us on the path he would have us take, wherever it leads. We better follow or we will be left behind, and then we’re really in trouble!!! I just pray we wake up before it is too late.
As an American Catholic who voted against Obama, I share Stan’s vision of the individual now in the White House, and his plans for Israel. What I can’t reconcile is the massive support he received from American Jews, and apparently still does. When Stan says “God alone,” I realize that we have put ourselves in a position where God alone can save us, because we have chosen to put God aside in our support for such a conniving thug. How do such things happen?

Paula Thank you for the picture. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. That one certainly is! May G_D bless Israel and all of us who believe.
Last night my three year old grand daughter spent the night with me. We went outside to walk and pray. Her little hand held mine. We sang to Jesus and prayed. Later in the evening I walked into a room where she was. She was standing with her hands held high in the air and I heard her say, “YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND” then she said I was praying to God.
In her sweet simple prayer we can all have that same assurance.
HE IS OUR BEST FRIEND.
The liberal left in the USA has placed Barack Hussein Obama in the office of President.
they have also filled the Congress of the USA with liberals supporting him so that his
policies may be easily passed into law. Even the Supreme Court is becoming a liberal
bastian. There is only one place that believers in truth can turn to and that is our God
and his Word, the Holy Bible. What we are seeing now on television, in the newspapers,
and on the Internet is clearly foretold to us by His Holy Word.
We all pray for Israel and her people and please understand that those in the USA who
feel this way are many, but politically we have been stricken. It seems that the system
of checks and balances between the Executive Office, Congress and the Supreme Court
are ineffective. This is, I believe, part of God’s plan to clear the path for the One in
the end times.
Let us put everything in God’s hands. He alone will triumph over the evil ways of this world. Don’t worry about Obama, he will be dealt with by God Almighty. Let us
continue to pray for Israel and surely God will take care of her.
I awoke in the middle of the night on Friday and was compelled to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for His chosen people whom I love so much. My heart breaks for them and for beloved Israel. As an American I am ashamed of what this man we call president is doing. God have mercy on us. Thank you Stan for your thoughts and insights. Come quickly Lord Jesus.
Can these words, of which Obama spoke, be the same words that Nostradomus predicted about. That a great orator will seduce the people and bring about the end of days. Are we being lulled into a false sense of security only to have our destruction at hand? I too have been asking the same question as Paula Maillet and I also agree about the size of Israel. Who in their clear conscience would even have the audacity to ask Israel to give up even more. The Arab world has already ammassed too much, if they feel compassionate about their fellow Muslims, why don’t they give them some of their own land. I do not believe that land has anything to do with it. It is the fear that the Jewish people have G_D given rights.
Our prayers are for Israel, God’s chosen. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Come quickly Lord Jesus.
Psalm 118:8 Is the very center verse of the Holy Bible
It says, “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man.”
With the words G_d alone with G_d alone : this is the answer to Israel problems
and it is also the answer to Americas problems as well as any other nations
problems. „ We have the Promises of G_d like ” Fear not for I am with the I will
not forsake the ” . Is it true ? that our enemy Satan uses fear to debase us from our
belief in G_d . If we kindle our anger will this get us into mental disturbances
that causes us to do evil things .
We hear and read thou shall not kill . This is a lie ! if this were true then there is
no self defense . If we should read thou shall not murder then this leaves one able
to defend his person family and nation . This leave us with the ability to use evil
against evil .
In the english language if we take out one three letter word this three letter word
would eliminate any concept of true morality any thing that you wanted to do is
all right an there is no evil thing that exist . Every thing is permissible of course there
is better choices .
My conclusion is the same with G_d alone is the answer . Ops there is that three
letter word again.
Which conclusion is correct ? is the president naive , stupid , or demon possessed .
Any of these choices is definitely not good.
How can a person that will kill him self to kill you be trusted to keep any promise
to abide in a life of peace . If this peace gives him every advantage to kill you then
he will die to kill as many as he can.
In Revelations we read that 12,000 from each tribe is to believe in Christ for a total
of 144,000 and if there is not a person from Israel left to believe then G_d is not who
he said he is . If this prediction is not true then YWAH is not G_d . Your ENEMY and
ours has won the battle between Gog and Meggog . Satan will not be Cast into the
lake o fire.
This president is not a president I voted for . I have yet to see printed or have herd
any one that has seen his real birth certificate and our supreme court will not hear
any case regarding this matter . So my conclusion is that this man may have aid of a
supernatural source . If this is true then we have problem running amok .
Our course is that of the ancients as Joshua said Sanctify your selves . Can we
recall the old priest hood . The high Priest made offerings to G_d for the people before
any prayers were heard or answered. How can a G_d have anything to with sin or have
a sinful person his court room to hear his pleading ?
Therefore let us sanctify our selves according to I john I : 9 and pray to YWAH or
G_d for our deliverance . And if you or surprised to suddenly be standing before your
YWAH or G_d then you have over looked or forgotten that death is the last deliverance .
Do not despair, the promise is recorded in God’s word - He will deliver Israel! The nation will be saved. Do no fear.
The true Messiah, Yeshua, will return again and will defeat the enemy.
Stan, I truly, truly implore you, and all others who are discouraged to read the book, Isralestine by Bill Salus. When you have read how Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, Obadiah verses 15-18, and many other verses are about to be fulfilled when Satan’s minions force the Jews to hand over the land to the Palestinians, you will be amazed and exultant.
G-d is about to do a mighty work as the pile of “dead mans bones” (Israel) comes to life as a mighty army to destoy all of her nearby neighbors–Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, upper Saudi Arabia, the Sinai peninsula, and part of Egypt. This is all Bible prophesy that is on the verge of being fulfilled.
This must take place before the seven years of Jacob’s trouble begins. Israel WILL BECOME GREATLY ENLARGED AND EXTREMELY WEALTHY after have taken these lands and all the booty that comes with the land. All of this will occur before the Tribulation and it will occur before the Ezekiel 38-39 war in which the outer circle of enemies try to snatch at some of Israel’s new wealth and prestige.
PLEASE read this book with a prayerful heart and your Bible opened beside it to verify these verses. It is true! Then be encouraged for the L-rd is in control of all these things. G-d’s and Israel’s enemies are being irresistibly led to do what whil destroy them and cause Israel to be greatly enlarged and gifted with great wealth. Just you wait and see! Never doubt G-d’s Word. Every jot and tittle of it will come to pass!
So take heart. G-d is at work here. Satan’s minions continue, unintentionally, to fulfill every jot and tittle of G-d’s Word.
Stan,
I just got to read the President’s prophetic “Peace and Security” speech. Woeful words spoken in none other than Egypt, not only the original home of the oppression of the 12 tribes of Israel but also of those “strangers” that sojourned alongside the descendants of Jacob.
I am sure you have probably seen it. The fact that the President’s trip started in Saudi Arabia, that the speech was given in Egypt and he went on to Germany leaves me dumbfounded and almost speechless considering the Apostle Paul’s stern warning. If we could only see his blog today? I think it would read just like this:
“When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief: for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness; so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.” (ASV 1 Thessalonians: 5:3-6)
Israel will not be defeated. Ezekial prophesied the war of Gog and Magog, when the Lord Himself will defeat the enemies of Israel. So Israel will survive now and then. We must have complete faith in our God…not Obamas god.
God bless Israel.
Stan:
I once read your article giving hope to an American Jew On a flight. You encouraged him with the covenant the Holy One of Israel has with Israel, the hope you have for Israel. I want to encourage you - nothing has changed - we are just getting a little closer to the coming of our Lord. There are many of us in the Body of Christ standing with israel in this time of her need.
I hesitated to write this comment because I am a safe distance from the conflict, but I care for Israel and all who love her.
shalom

Hi Stan and fellow supporters of Israel,
A number of years ago I first got a hold of what Israel and its people mean to us and to this day pray and support “His Nation” If we look through the bible and history we can line events up and still amazes how right down the line it all goes.
Even this nation of Australia where we call home (KIWI’s) at present , will have to be very careful on how they treat Israel otherwise they too will go down the path USA is going via Pres Obama. Its shocking to hear and one can only say “Told you so” but as nearly every one on this site has said “Hold your head up Israel you will be saved” God will come through for you.
One question, why are’nt the Big TV evangelists Benny Hinn, Kenneth Coupland and others in that ministry, using their powers of TV and radio and standing up against these things that are being said . May be they are but the silence down here is deafening and one of them has just done a big trip here.
COME ON RISE UP, Stand up for Gods principals and for His chosen.
Bless you
Roger
