Headline: Hamas: Infiltrations into Israeli settlements to manifest the next phase of the ‘intifada’
Hamas has declared that the recent terror attacks committed by Palestinians in Israeli settlements in the West Bank show that “the next phase of the ‘Jerusalem intifada’ will cause great fear among settlers, who will no longer enjoy security.” In a press statement released on Thursday, Hamas Spokesman Husam Badran praised the two stabbing attacks and the shooting attack that took place Wednesday in Nablus that resulted in the injuring of three IDF soldiers. Badran said that the recurrent infiltrations by Palestinians into Israeli settlements, and the stabbing and shooting attacks they carry out inside, signal that the next phase of the intifada will sow fear among settlement residents. He added that Palestinians know that the settlements are Israel’s weak point, which means that “they would carry out new forms of courageous attacks by infiltrating these settlements.” “In the next days, the West Bank’s settlers will witness additional surprises from Hamas,” Badran further stated.

Headline: ISIS believed to have 100 members in Israel
Israeli officials believe that the Islamic State (ISIS) jihadist group has 100 activists in Israel, a year and a half since the group announced the establishment of a “caliphate” in parts of Syria and Iraq it captured. Channel 10 News reported on Thursday that according to statistics, about 34 indictments have been filed against Israeli Arabs on charges related to belonging to the organization and 40 Arab citizens have already left Israel to join the jihadist group. The Palestinian Authority estimates that ten Palestinian Arabs who have gone missing are believed to have crossed the border to the Sinai and Syria to join ISIS, according to the report. ISIS has announced that it intends to recruit as many Israeli citizens as possible in order to carry out a large attack with as many casualties as possible, and is believed to be actively recruiting members. The report came hours after two Arab Israelis from Nazareth and nearby Yafi’a in northern Israel were indicted on suspicion of plotting terror attacks on behalf of ISIS.

Headline: Fatah recommends forming constituent council for state of Palestine
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Fatah Party recommended on Friday the formation of a constituent council for the future independent state of Palestine. Fatah said in an official emailed press statement issued at the end of a two-day meeting for its revolutionary council held in Ramallah and chaired by Abbas that the mission of the council is to prepare for the constitution of the state of Palestine. Fahmi Za’arir, Deputy Speaker of the revolutionary council, or Fatah parliament, said the constituent council will also end the status of the Palestinian Authority (PNA) parliament in the upcoming elections. “The constituent council for the state of Palestine will draft the covenant of the state of Palestine and the needed legislation for the state and its citizens,” Za’arir read from the statement issued after the two-day meeting of Fatah parliament. He stressed that the Palestinians can’t keep being unilaterally committed to the agreements signed with Israel, while Israel is not committed to it at all, adding that “we consider Israel as an occupation power that violated all the signed treaties.” Fatah council also called for stopping all forms of ties with the authorities of the Israeli occupation in accordance to the signed agreements “until Israel commits itself to the agreement.” It also called for studying the feasibility of withdrawing the recognition of the state of the occupation.

Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! 2 For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; And those who hate You have lifted up their head. 3 They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. 4 They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.” (Psalm 83)
Lebanon
Headline: Hezbollah vows to invade Israel in the next war
Hezbollah sources cited in a unique speak peak into the Lebanese Iran-proxy terror group claim that they have gained powerful weapons and experience from the Syrian civil war, which will allow them to invade Israel in their third war against the Jewish state. The Foreign Policy article Thursday, entitled “Hezbollah’s Death Valley,” spoke about Hezbollah’s involvement in Syria, where it is fighting to prop up Bashar al-Assad’s regime on Iran’s orders. It has lost many of its terrorists there, but sources in the group told the paper the fighting has only helped them. “In the next war, Hezbollah won’t stay on the borders, and the Israeli settlements in the north will not be protected from this,” a source close to the terror group based in southern Lebanon told the paper, claiming Hezbollah now for the first time can infiltrate Israel in open war. “Hezbollah will bring the war to them, and Israel’s biggest concern is over Hezbollah’s experience in Syria, as it now has the experience to be offensive rather than just defensive.”

Saudi Arabia
Headline: Saudis ready to give Syrian rebels missiles against Russian warplanes and tanks
For the first time in the five-year Syrian conflict, Saudi Arabia is preparing to supply Syrian rebel groups with anti-air and anti-tank missiles in an attempt to stall Russia’s military efforts to extend Bashar Assad’s days in power. Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the defense minister, is choreographing this escalated Saudi intervention in the Syrian war. He plans to arm Syrian rebels militias with missiles capable of striking the new Russian T-90 tanks. Most Western and Middle East observers think the Saudis may be bluffing about their plan to arm Syrian rebels with missiles, as a ploy to get Washington and Moscow to treat them seriously as a player on the Syrian stage and take their interests into account. Ideally, Riyadh would hope to break up American cooperation with Iran in Iraq and Russian cooperation with Iran in Syria. The Saudis have so far pitched into this endlessly complex scenario with two tangible steps:
- The deployment last week of four Saudi Air Force F-15 bomber fighters at the Turkish base of Incirlik near the Syrian border, to be followed by a contingent of ground troops for operations in Syria.
- A direct challenge to Iran’s fighting arm in Syria, the Lebanese Hizballah and its leader Hassan Nasrallah, by cancelling the $4 billion defense package Riyadh had pledged for the rehabilitation of Lebanon’s armed forces. The Lebanese high command is collaborating increasingly with Hizballah and a large slice of Saudi assistance funds would most certainly have reached its hands.
According to a high-ranking Saudi source, the decision to arm Syrian rebels with missiles is final. He said, “The Syrian opposition might soon acquire surface-to-air missiles, which will raise the wrath of Russia and Iran.” He added:: “No Saudi official will own up to these consignments but, just as 30 years ago, Saudi Arabia was not deterred from intervening in Afghanistan against the Russian army – and we came out the winners” – we will not hesitate to take on the Russian army in Syria too.

Headline: Gunmen execute 16 people, including 4 nuns, in Yemen retirement home
A team of gunmen unleashed a massacre at a retirement home run by Catholic nuns in Yemen Friday, killing 16 people including four nuns, Yemeni security officials and witnesses said. The gunmen then moved from room to room, handcuffing the victims before shooting each of them in the head. A nun who survived said that she hid inside a fridge in a storeroom after hearing a Yemeni guard shouting “run, run.” Missionaries of Charity, an organization established by Mother Teresa, runs the home in the chaotic southern port city of Aden, which descended into lawlessness after a Saudi-led coalition recaptured the city from Shiite Houthi rebels last summer. The bodies were transferred to a police station and then a hospital run by the aid organization known as Doctors Without Borders or MSF. An official with MSF confirmed that 15 bodies had arrived at the hospital. Al-Qaida controls several southern cities and ISIS has claimed responsibility for a wave of deadly attacks in Aden, including a suicide bombing that killed the city’s governor and several assassination attempts on top officials. Aden’s churches have also come under attack. In the summer, a Catholic church in the district of Crater was torched and sabotaged by Islamic extremists.

Syria Headline: Air raids hit Syria rebel bastion despite truce
Warplanes struck a key rebel bastion east of the Syrian capital on Friday for the first time since a fragile truce began over the weekend, a monitor said. “Two air strikes hit the edge of the town of Douma in Eastern Ghouta and one person was killed,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. He said the strikes were conducted by either Syrian or Russian planes. It was unclear whether the individual killed was a civilian or a fighter. Friday marked the seventh day of the truce brokered by the United States and Russia. Eastern Ghouta, the largest rebel bastion east of Damascus, was regularly and fiercely bombarded by government forces in the lead-up to the ceasefire. On the day before the truce came into effect, 25 air raids targeted the opposition stronghold, 10 of which struck Douma.

Iraq Headline: Iran wants control of Iraq’s Sinjar
A top official in an anti-Iranian Kurdish party has claimed Tehran aims to control the strategic Sinjar region along Iraq’s border with Syria that has become a flashpoint for inter-Kurdish tensions. Kurdistan Freedom Party military commander Hossein Yazdanpah accused the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of taking an increasingly active role in Sinjar, claiming that the commander in the Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force toured the region two months ago alongside Hadi al-Ameri, a leader in the Tehran-backed Iraqi paramilitary Popular Mobilization Forces. “The visit comes amid Iran’s ongoing attempt to control the ground route connecting Iran and Syria that stretches across the Kurdistan region’s territory, and to secure a passageway for weapons and fighters in Syria,” Yazdandah—a harsh critic of Tehran—told Saudi-owned Asharq Alawsat. “Iran wants to take control of the strategic Sinjar Mountain,” he said, adding that a number of other IRGC officers had traveled to the Yazidi-populated area via Baghdad.

Kurdish Headline: Syrian Kurds Planning a Federal Region in Northern Syria (Rojava)
After bringing a vast area in Northern Syria under their control, the Syrian Kurdish forces are now revealing their will for establishing a federal Kurdish region in Syria. Idris Nassan, the Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kobani canton, told BasNews that the Federalism project is to establish the Federal Region of Northern Syria based on unity and agreement of all ingredients in the area rather than a Kurdish Federal State, provoking concerns to countries like Turkey. “We are not intending to divide Syria or establish a Kurdish state” Nassan reasserted. The federal region will rather consist of all components and strengthen the national unity in Syria similar to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) which is the most united and developed country in the region, Nassan argued. Regarding the form of the Federalism expected to be established, Nassan stated that “It will be formed based on the demographic composition of the area to exercise its distinctiveness with freedom and justice.” The world powers, Russia and USA, have demonstrated their agreement on the project of Federalism for the North of Syria despite their disputes over Syria’s issue.
*** Rojava is a de facto autonomous region in northern Syria, also known as Syrian Kurdistan. Rojava is unrecognized as autonomous by the government of Syria. Kurds generally consider Rojava to be one of the four parts of a greater Kurdistan, which also includes parts of eastern and southeastern Turkey (Northern Kurdistan/Turkish Kurdistan), northern Iraq (Southern Kurdistan/Iraqi Kurdistan), and northwestern Iran (Eastern Kurdistan/Iranian Kurdistan).

Headline: 2 militants killed in Istanbul after attack on police bus
Turkish police shot dead two female militants on Thursday after they fired shots and threw a grenade at a Turkish police bus in Istanbul, local media and the city governor said. A radical leftist group claimed responsibility for the attack, in which two police officers were lightly wounded, Gov. Vasip Sahin said in televised comments. One woman threw a grenade and the other opened fire with what appeared to be a machine gun as the riot police bus headed for the entrance of a police station in the Bayrampasa district of Turkey’s biggest city, footage from Dogan News Agency showed. Police fired back, injuring one of the women, before tracking them to a nearby building, CNN Turk said. Special forces units and police surrounded the building, television footage showed, leading to an hour-long stand-off in which there was sporadic gunfire and the women were shot dead. A claim of responsibility came from a website close to the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C), a group that has repeatedly targeted police stations, largely in Istanbul suburbs.

Turkey is shelling Kurdish units fighting against the Nusra Front in Syria, while columns of trucks with various cargo and weapons for rebels cross into Syria from Turkey daily, Russian news agencies quoted Russia’s Defence Ministry as saying on Friday. A total of 41 ceasefire violations have been registered in Syria over the past two days, the ministry said. Jabhat Al-Nusra terrorists have pitched their camps right next to the border and receive regular supplies from the Turkish side, Syrian Kurdish forces told RT’s Lizzie Phelan, who traveled with YPG to investigate suspicious activity there. An RT crew has filmed a number of vehicles coming through the Bab al-Salam crossing on the Turkish-Syrian border, on the outskirts of the northern town of Azaz, which is partially controlled by Al-Nusra, according to reports. “We can actually see here the important border town of Azaz, that Turkey is determined to prevent YPG from taking. Just a little beyond that you can see the Bab al-Salam border crossing and a heavy flow of vehicles coming from Turkey into Azaz,” the RT correspondent said, reporting from the Turkey-Syria border, an area that TV crews rarely gain access to.

Headline: At least 25 die in South Sudan UN camp attack
At least 25 people were massacred and 120 wounded when gunmen in army uniforms attacked then torched a UN camp that was sheltering civilians in South Sudan last month, the UN said Friday. The updated toll comes two weeks after the two-day gun battle inside the camp in the northeastern town of Malakal, with a report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) detailing the failure of peacekeepers to protect the civilians sheltering at the base. Over 47,000 people lived in the camp, after fleeing for safety from a civil war that broke out in December 2013. The UN has said the attack was a possible war crime. Reports of troops in government army uniforms storming the camp and “firing on civilians” were “credible”, OCHA said, contradicting initial UN claims that the fighting was between tribal “youths”. “About 3,700 families’ shelters were destroyed or damaged during the fighting and fires, along with multiple humanitarian facilities, including clinics, water tankers, nutrition centres and schools,” OCHA reported. Residents say 46 people were killed in the February 17-18 attack, while the UN has now updated to 25 an earlier toll of 18. Those killed include three aid workers, two of them South Sudanese health workers for medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF). One was murdered as he administered care, MSF said.

Libya
Headline: Death of Italians in Libya Ramps up Intervention Pressure
The death of two Italian hostages in Libya this week has added urgency to calls for Italy to intervene militarily in its former colony, with names being floated of an Italian to head an international coalition to fight the Islamic State group and plans for some 5,000 Italian troops to be deployed. But criticism of any military intervention is also growing, with opposition calls for the government of Premier Matteo Renzi to resist pressure from U.S. and European allies and at the very least to brief Parliament about its plans. The U.S. ambassador to Italy, John Phillips, said in an interview published Friday that Italy had committed to providing upwards of 5,000 troops for an international force to help stabilize Libya and prevent the Islamic State from posing a greater threat. A U.S. embassy spokesman stressed that Phillips was merely repeating what Italian defense and foreign ministers had said previously. But coupled with a steady stream of alarmist headlines in Italy about imminent military action in Libya, the interview seemed to point to plans that are increasingly taking shape.

Armenia
Headline: Armenia pulled into Russia-Turkey clash in Syria
The clash between Russia and Turkey is not just taking place in the skies over Syria. It’s also spreading to the nearby Caucasus region, where a fresh wave of Russian military overtures to Armenia threatens to reignite a frozen conflict that has pitted Moscow against Ankara for decades. Given Russian President Vladimir Putin’s anger over the downing of a Russian fighter jet by Turkish forces in November, Moscow has spent the past several months beefing up its military footprint in Armenia, a country of roughly 3 million people that shares a 165-mile border and a land-mine-filled history with Turkey. After quietly signing an air defense agreement with the tiny former Soviet republic in December, Moscow has deployed at least four new MiG-29 fighter jets and a slew of other military vehicles to a Russian base just outside the Armenian capital of Yerevan. The moves constitute a case study in how the multinational, multifront conflict in Syria is spilling into other theaters, widening the zone of instability and heightening tensions between countries such Iran and Saudi Arabia, as well as Turkey and Russia. According to Russian news reports, the air defense agreement was in the works for months. But the shipment of MiGs and new Russian helicopters in mid-February appears to have been Mr. Putin’s way of warning Turkey and its NATO allies of Moscow’s capacity to make trouble in the region. U.S. analysts are divided over the extent to which Armenia — which is wedged against Iran, Turkey and Russia — is actively aligning itself with the Russians or simply being bullied by Moscow as a pawn in Mr. Putin’s push to surround Turkey.

Headline: ISIS Sanctuary: March 3, 2016
Since the publication of ISW’s last ISIS Sanctuary Map on January 16, 2016, ISIS lost a major resource hub in Shaddadi, northeastern Syria and was expelled from its remaining positions in Ramadi, western Iraq. ISIS responded by launching a campaign against Kurdish forces in Tel Abyad, northern Syria, and briefly seizing the city of Khanaser, southeast of Aleppo from Syrian regime forces. ISIS also launched a wave of explosive attacks across Iraq and Syria, beginning with six suicide attacks on Homs and Damascus on February 22. ISIS likely aims to increase overall disorder by attacking civilian and military targets linked to Shi’a governments in Damascus and Baghdad, thereby facilitating its defense and opening new opportunities for its expansion. This map also features an updated representation of ISIS’s zone of control in northern Aleppo province, which was previously represented as a sanctuary zone.

Headline: ISIS in Southeast Asia: January 1-March 2, 2016
ISIS is using its safe haven and foreign fighter population in Iraq and Syria to expand influence in Southeast Asia, in pursuit of its grand strategic objective to rule all Muslim lands. ISIS’s Syria-based Southeast Asian fighters are resourcing and directing local networks to launch attacks. Competition between militant elements vying to lead the Southeast Asian pro-ISIS movement will likely encourage increased jihadist attacks in the short term, threatening urban areas and Western interests in the region. Support from ISIS’s safe haven may also facilitate the creation of an active, trans-national ISIS affiliate in Southeast Asia in the medium term. The U.S. has the opportunity to counter ISIS’s network in Southeast Asia before it develops further. ISIS claimed it first attack in the region on January 14 in Jakarta, an act that belied ISIS’s ambitions but reflected relatively low military capability. Southeast Asian jihadist groups are fragmented and face pressure from domestic counterterrorism operations. ISIS’s campaign in Southeast Asia is at an early stage, so the group currently poses a lower threat to security there than it does in Libya, Egypt, and Afghanistan, where its affiliates enjoy sanctuary, and in Yemen, where its affiliate is prolonging a civil war. Early action against ISIS’s Southeast Asian supporters can limit ISIS’s ability to develop an affiliate in the area, particularly as those supporters face resistance from locally-focused and al Qaeda-associated groups.

North Korea has fired six short-range projectiles into the sea, South Korea’s defence ministry has said, hours after the UN imposed tough new sanctions. A South Korean spokesman told the Yonhap news agency the projectiles were fired at about 10:00 local time (01:00 GMT) from Wonsan on the east coast. They were either rockets or guided missiles, the ministry said. Correspondents say it is being seen as an act of defiance against the sanctions. Hours earlier, the UN Security Council unanimously voted to impose some of its strongest ever sanctions against North Korea. The new measures are in reaction to North Korea’s recent nuclear test and satellite launch, both of which violated existing sanctions. They will result in all cargo going to and from the country being inspected, while 16 new individuals and 12 organizations have been blacklisted.

Headline:Philippines borrowing planes from Japan to patrol South China Sea
In a “show of force,” the U.S. Navy dispatched an aircraft carrier and five escort ships to the South China Sea amid rising tensions between the U.S., China and other Southeast Asian nations claiming territory in the disputed region, multiple defense officials confirmed to Fox News Friday. The dispatch sends a signal to China that the U.S. Navy will continue to conduct freedom of navigation patrols even as China continues to “militarize” islands, those officials say. The Navy Times reported Thursday the U.S. sent the USS John C. Stennis, two destroyers, two cruisers and the 7th Fleet flagship. The deployment comes after Defense Secretary Ash Carter warned China over the militarization of its claimed artificial islands. The Stennis was joined by the Japan-based cruisers Antietam and Mobile Bay and destroyers Chung-Hoon and Stockdale, according to the Navy Times. The command ship USS Blue Ridge, is also in the area and is heading for the Philippines. Officials said the Antietam was conducting a separate patrol from the Stennis. Tensions have increased over the last month after it was learned that China had placed surface-to-air-missiles on one of the Paracel Islands.

Headline: There’s a 100% Probability of a U.S. Recession Within a Year
The U.S. trade deficit widened more than expected in January as a strong dollar and weak global demand helped to push exports to a more than 5-1/2-year low, suggesting trade will continue to weigh on economic growth in the first quarter. The Commerce Department said on Friday the trade gap increased 2.2 percent to $45.7 billion. December’s trade deficit was revised up to $44.7 billion from the previously reported $43.4 billion. Exports have declined for four straight months. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the trade deficit widening to $44.0 billion in January. When adjusted for inflation, the deficit increased to $61.97 billion from $60.09 billion in December. Trade subtracted a quarter of a percentage point from gross domestic product in the fourth quarter, helping to hold down growth to a tepid 1.0 percent annual rate. In January, exports of goods fell 3.3 percent to $116.9 billion, the lowest level since November 2010. Overall exports of goods and services dropped 2.1 percent to their lowest level since June 2011.

Headline: NASA Studies Tree Rings to Show Eastern Mediterranean Drought Worst in 900 Years
A new NASA study finds that the recent drought that began in 1998 in the eastern Mediterranean Levant: Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey, is probably the worst drought of the past nine centuries. Scientists reconstructed the Mediterranean’s drought history by studying tree rings as part of an effort to understand the region’s climate and what shifts water to or from the area. Thin rings indicate dry years while thick rings show years when water was plentiful. In addition to identifying the driest years, the science team discovered patterns in the geographic distribution of droughts that provides a “fingerprint” for identifying the underlying causes. Together, these data show the range of natural variation in Mediterranean drought occurrence, which will allow scientists to differentiate droughts made worse by human-induced global warming. The research is part of NASA’s ongoing work to improve the computer models that simulate climate now and in the future. “The magnitude and significance of human climate change requires us to really understand the full range of natural climate variability,” said Ben Cook, lead author and climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies and the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University in New York City.

Officials in Wisconsin are investigating an outbreak involving a rare bacteria that may be linked to the deaths of nearly 20 people in the past few months. The bacteria, Elizabethkingia anophelis, cause infections in the bloodstream and has mainly affected people over the age of 65 in southern Wisconsin. Fourty-four people were infected between November 1 and March 2, and the bacteria could be responsible for the deaths of 18, NBC News reports. So-called disease detectives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been called in to help find the source of the infection. All the patients studied so far have a history of at least one underlying illness, including diabetes, renal disease or cirrhosis, according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Symptoms of Elizabethkingia infection include shortness of breath, fever and chills. “The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), Division of Public Health (DPH) is currently investigating an outbreak of bloodstream infections caused by Elizabethkingia,” the department said in a statement on Thursday. “At this time, the source of these infections is unknown and the Department is working diligently to contain this outbreak.”

NBC spent a great amount of time recently promoting the transgender lifestyle for both adults and children. The network’s Parminder Deo touted a Pediatrics study that concluded that if kids live openly as transgender with supportive families, they experience no abnormal anxiety and depression. “Support and acceptance” is the key, Deo said. The study, however, led by Kristina Olson of the University of Washington was conducted using questionable methods. It surveyed 73 kids aged 3 to 12 and simply asked parents whether their kids had shown symptoms of depression or anxiety during the past week. NBC rushed to report the study as proof that transitioning early is healthier for both parents and kids.

I begin with this news story above as an opening to point out the spiritual battle taking place all around us is becoming both ‘more aggressive and more subtle’ in our daily lives; particularly places where we don’t feel the need to ‘be on guard’…such as sitting down to watch TV at the end of the day.
NBC isn’t the only network guilty of this. Fox has aired a show called “Lucifer”, a comedy-drama television series focuses on Lucifer Morningstar, “who is bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell and resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the beauty of Los Angeles, where he gets his kicks helping the LAPD punish criminals”. No where in the Bible does it say that Satan is a ‘good guy’ getting the bad guys. In 2 Corinthians 11:14 it tells us plainly that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11:3 says” But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ”.
CBS has also introduced a ‘comedy’ called Angel from Hell, about an ‘inebriated nut’ who claims to be a guardian angel. Fortunately, CBS has pulled the series.
ABC has The Real O’Neals, a comedy about a Catholic family whose 16 year old son ‘comes out’ as gay. The truly awful twist of this show is that Dan Savage is the executive producer. Savage is best known as a notorious X-rated sex-columnist, homosexual activist and atheist. Among Dan Savage’s numerous appalling statements, he said as recently as 2013 that he sometimes thinks abortion should be “mandatory” to stop population growth, and was caught on camera telling a crowd of high school students during one speech to ignore the “bulls**t in the Bible,” and then lambasted those students that stood up and walked out on him for being “pansies.”
Even TV Land has gone so far as to mock Christians with its ‘comedy’ “Impastor”. Impastor follows Buddy Dobbs, a fugitive and hard-core gambling addict who, in order to hide from a pair of loan sharks, ends up stealing the identity of a recently deceased gay pastor.
And many more…too many to list here. The point being …..there are NO safe places anymore. Even in our ‘down-time’ we must be on guard. The spiritual battle in which every Christian is engaged has reached epic proportions! Many of us are tired- tired of the fight, tired of always being ‘watchful’.
But this is the time to rally! We are almost at the end of the race. NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER is the battle cry of our faith in Jesus Christ.
“Blessed be the Lord my Rock, Who trains my hands for war, And my fingers for battle— My lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.” (Psalm 144:1-2 )
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. (Ephesians 6:10-18)
Matthew 24:7 “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.” Luke21:25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring”
