Taliban and Netanyahu seeking revenge
Flag of the Taliban
Talk of revenge is all over the news today:
Fox News – 12 March 2012KABUL, Afghanistan – The Taliban is vowing revenge against the US after an American soldier allegedly shot and killed 16 Afghan civilians in a Sunday rampage.
The US soldier incident was reported about here yesterday (American Kills Afghanis, Israelis Kill Palestinians).
In my 2009 book, 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, I warned:
…writings suggest that the end of the U.S.A. will thus be in the 21st century. And as far as Asian forces go, this could be interpreted to include terrorists from places like Afghanistan and others parts of Asia.
The reality is that Islamic terrorists are not the only ones that tend to be interested in revenge. Notice also the following from Israel today:
Jerusalem Post – 12 March 2012 By YAAKOV KATZ AND JPOST.COM STAFF Combination of air strikes, defense technology and Israeli resilience allows the IDF to expand its operations…Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Monday said that the IDF will continue to strike terrorists in the Gaza Strip with great power and aggression…Speaking to a Likud faction meeting, the prime minister said of anyone planning to harm Israeli citizens, “We’ll hit them.” …Barak warns that those who attack Israeli civilians “will be punished.”
Terrorism is wrong, but is also a prophesied curse:
14 ‘But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments,
15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant,
16 I also will do this to you:
I will even appoint terror over you…(Leviticus 26:14-16)
Although political leaders will do what they think is in their interest and have certain rights with “the sword” (Romans 13:4), the Bible, of course, also teaches:
17 And the way of peace they have not known.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” (Romans 3:17-18)19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:19-21)
And while this world does not wish to know live God’s way, the Bible also says:
9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9-10)
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. (Revelation 22:20-21)
War leads to war, vengeance to more vengeance. The Kingdom of God is the solution to this world’s problems, killing is not.
