Israel – America – Isaiah & Judgement

By Ray Gano

Over the past week or so I have been reading Isaiah.

To be honest I am blown away at the similarities mentioned about Israel and then looking at modern day America.

I am not promoting some replacement theology idea or anything like that; but I do believe that when people or nations turn their backs on God, the laws of nature, God’s Law, comes into play.

I am one who firmly believes that our nation was brought about by divine providence. King James, the very same king who put his name to the only Authorized version of the bible, also sent people to “the new world” to spread the Gospel and claim the land for God in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. This is the basic tenants of the James Town Charter claiming America for His Glory.

We are not God’s chosen people and in no way replace Israel, but I believe we have a special place in God’s plan and because we have remained a Christian nation up until about 40 years ago, God has blessed us immensely.

Our nation has done more to further the gospel, protect the innocent, stood for what was right, and against what was wrong than any other nation. We have defended the weak, opposed tyranny and tyrants.

On July 4th 1776 we declared our freedom beginning with these words…

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

At the base of the Statue of Liberty it states,

“Give me your tired, your poor/Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”

We are a nation built upon the principals of God and His Word.

But somewhere on this journey, our great republic strayed and instead of being good, we have chosen

Muslim Passenger Detained After Causing Disturbance, Screaming ‘Allah is Great!’ on Continental Flight Headed to Houston

The liberal media will file this one under “When Nic Fits Go Bad”. Allah didn’t feel as great as a fresh pack of Marlboros for this passenger apparently, and he simply felt the need to convince himself otherwise …

By KHOU.com staff – “HOUSTON—Charges may be filed against a man accused of causing a disturbance on a Continental Airlines flight bound for Houston on Tuesday.

Passengers said the man was a hassle from the beginning and once the flight took off, he tried to light an electronic cigarette.

Flight attendants asked the passenger to turn off the cigarette, but he refused.

Other fed up passengers helped subdue the unruly man while the pilot turned the plane around and headed back to Portland.

The passenger was taken into custody when the plane landed.

According to one of the passengers, the unruly passenger kept repeating, ‘Allah is great.’

The flight resumed and departed Portland around 2:05 p.m. The passengers finally arrived to Houston Tuesday night.” Source – KHOU.com.

Honeybee Populations — Responsible for 90% of All Commercial Pollination — Continue to Disappear, Will Impact Humans

By Julia Rauchfuss – “Best known for prompting shrieks and swatting of air, bees rarely receive proper recognition for their contributions to humankind. But now that they are disappearing by the thousands, it will be up to humans to ensure their survival.

Over the past five years, about 30 percent of the yearly captive honeybee population has died every winter, according to CNN, and about 10 percent of bees simply vanish. While recent reports suggest that this may not cause significant damage to the U.S. agriculture industry due to better farming technologies, preservation of the species still deserves immediate attention.

Humans have always shared a close partnership with honeybees but if care is not taken soon human ignorance could twist this simple, symbiotic relationship into a form of parasitism. Bees are far more beneficial to humans than they are dangerous.

Honeybees are pollinators, and play a crucial role in the production of seeds, which are contained in the fruits, vegetables and grains that line grocery store shelves.

Though some crops such as wheat are pollinated by the wind, honeybees are responsible for the 90 percent of all commercial pollination, according to an article in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology.

According to researchers, the shrinking honeybee population is the result of colony collapse disorder, the sudden and unexplained disappearance of all the worker bees in a hive. Agricultural insecticides are a prime suspect, as beekeeper accounts suggest certain insecticides negatively affect bees, according to an article in Issues in Science and Technology. However, the Environmental Protection Agency requires more scientific data to take products off the market.

The phenomenon also puts another population at risk.” Read more.
