The Final Move Beyond Iraq: The Final Solution While the World Sleeps by Mike Evans Read Free Book Online Page A

players in End-Time events are not necessarily clearly outlined in Scripture, the present situation depicts all of the nations of the earth aligned either with Babylon or Jerusalem. Although Ahmadinejad and his belief in the rise of the Mahdi through an apocalyptic world struggle are terrifying in and of themselves, we are not without hope. Listen, for a moment, to the words of Jesus:
     
    See to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come…. He who stands firm to the end will be saved.
    —M ATTHEW 24:6, 13
     
    We don’t have the prophecies of Scripture so that we can cower and hide. While the Islamofascists are working to bring on Armageddon in a demonic frenzy, Jesus gave us another purpose as we head toward the Great Tribulation:
     
    Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.
    —M ATTHEW 24:20–22
     
    In other words, the severity of those last days—as well as the days we live in—depend greatly on the prayers and actions of Christians today. The Bible is not about trying to bring the end of the world as the Islamofascists hope to do, but about bringing salvation and God’s love and mercy to a world going increasingly mad. It is not difficult to see who is behind these activities when Jesus plainly told us:
     
    The thief [the devil] comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
    —J OHM 10:10
     
    It is up to Christians to face the present situation in the Middle East with moral clarity, to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, to oppose evil in this world, and to pray for justice and righteousness to prevail. It is time for the United States to remember its heritage in God, recalibrate its moral compass of right and wrong to God’s way of thinking, and stand beside Israel, praying for her salvation both for this world and the world to come.

RECALIBRATING AMERICA’S MORAL COMPASS
     
    Every time the terrorists kill a civilian, they win. Every time the terrorists get the democracies to kill a child, they win. It’s a win/win for the terrorists, it’s a lose/lose for the democracies, and it’s all because of the asymmetry of morality. 1
    —A LAN D ERSHOWITZ
     
    We can forgive you for killing our sons. But we will never forgive you for making us kill yours. 2
    —G OLDA M EIR
     
    A wind of counter-revolution is blowing across the Middle East and directly into the faces of the Islamofascists and their hopes for spreading Khomeini’s Islamic revolution worldwide. Both Iraq and Afghanistan have held democratic elections. President Bush was right in his decision to invade Iraq—he has established a base to inject the vaccination of democracy into the bloodstream of oil-rich, tyrannical regimes that suppress the human rights of the masses and confuse them with outlandish conspiracy myths about Israel and the West. The terrorists, however, are trying to destroy this move toward truth, freedom, and democracy—and the liberal Left in America is helping them succeed.
    America is not hated by liberal leftists, appeasement states, and oppressive regimes because it is doing wrong but because it is doing right. The belief of these regimes is that a perfect world is a weak and anemic America that embraces the perpetrator and castigates the victim.
    President Bush’s plan, like that of Ronald Reagan toward the Soviet Union, will bring a new beginning to the Middle East. For the first time since the rebirth of their nation in 1948, the Israelis see the opportunity of a lifetime for a more democratic region. President Bush’s battle for the soul of the Middle East is beginning to succeed, much to the chagrin of the liberal Left. In order
