  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Psalm 144:1-2 Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for battle, My unfailing help, my strong tower and shield, in which I trust. He who subdues nations under me.
Psalm 144:3-4 Lord; what are humans, that You should care for them? They are no more than a puff of wind or a fleeting shadow.

Psalm 144:5 Lord; part the heavens and come down- touch the mountains, so that they pour forth smoke. Discharge Your lightning flashes far and wide and sent Your arrows to rout Your enemies.

Psalm 144:7-8&11 Reach down Your hand from on high, rescue me from the mighty waters, from the power of foreigners, whose every word is worthless, every oath false

Psalm 144:9-10 I shall sing a new song to You, my God – I will make music to You. God, you give victory to Kings and deliverance to Your servant, David – rescue me from the cruel sword.

Psalm 144:12-14 Then our sons and daughters will thrive in beauty, like healthy plants. Our barns will be filled, our sheep will increase by the thousands. Our cattle will be fat and strong. There will be no miscarriages or untimely births. No cries of distress in our streets.

Psalm 144:15 Happy is the people who are so blessed! The people whose God is the Lord.
Reference, REB. Some verses abridged.

V 1 Until the Lord Jesus Returns, His people still have to fight their battles and need to be trained and equipped. But He is their strength and guide against His enemies.
V 2 In God we trust, He will give the victory. Romans 8:31

V 3-4 Our lives are short, why does the Lord care about us? Job 14:1-2

V 5 We pray for the Lord to display His power, by the use of natural means; in order to remove His enemies from all of the Holy Land. Jeremiah 30:10, Psalms 83:13-18.

V 6 This describes the Lords Day of vengeance and fiery wrath. Isaiah 66:15-17, Zephaniah 1:14-18, 2 Peter 3:7, Revelation 6:12-21
The heavens: our atmosphere, will part, pushed aside at the side facing the sun, when a huge mass ejected from the sun strikes the earth. It will literally fulfil all the graphically stated Prophesies about that Day.

V 7-8 & 11 Lord in heaven; help Your people, threatened by many nations [mighty waters] The clue as to who these nations are is that they are foreigners who tell lies and break treaties. The Islamic code of ‘Al Takeyya” means- hide your strategy. Muslims are allowed, even encouraged, to use whatever means they like to defeat and kill infidels. Psalms 83:1-8 is the Lords response.

V 10 Lord, You have given Your servants victory in the past, rescue Your people now we ask. 2 Samuel 8:14

V 12-15 His people, the righteous Christian peoples, are settled in the Land when it is cleared of all evil and apostate peoples, after the Day of vengeance. Isaiah 63:1-6
They grow and prosper in all of the Promised Land. Ezekiel 34:11-16, Isaiah 25:9, Isaiah 25:1-10

More prophesies on the event called the “Day of vengeance” or “the Day of God’s wrath”:

2 Samuel 22:8-16 and Psalms 18:7-15 He parted the heavens and came down. The earth shook and quaked because of His anger. Smoke and devouring fire came from Him. He swooped on the wind, covered by darkness and dense vapour. Thick clouds went before Him, with thunder, hail and glowing coals. He loosed His arrows far and wide and hurled lightning bolts round His enemies.

Habakkuk 3:12 Furiously You traverse the earth, in anger You trample down the nations.

Isaiah 66:15-16 See, the Lord is coming in fire, like a whirlwind, bringing retribution in His furious anger. The Lord will judge with fire and many will be slain by Him.

Hebrews 10:27...a terrifying expectation of judgement – a fierce fire that will consume God’s enemies. Reference: REB some verses condensed.

Although, at the Lord’s Return, there will be a judgement – of the Anti Christ and his armies, this isn’t the same as the worldwide event described above, to happen earlier.
This terrible, devastating worldwide disaster, will be triggered by an attack by an Islamic confederation on the State of Israel. It will change the world and a One World Government will be formed, but the Lord’s faithful righteous people will gather and live in all of the Holy Land.
