Why Biden’s Actions Toward Israel Place America On Dangerous Ground With God

Jonathan Brentner

In the past several weeks, President Biden has also been at the forefront of demanding that Israel accept a two-state solution as a way of appeasing the Palestinians. In other words, he would reward Hamasโ€™ barbarism by giving them land that rightfully belongs to Israel. Not only that, but his proposal would also give Israelโ€™s enemies a strategic position to accomplish their true intent, which is the destruction of the Jewish state and the murder of the Israelites who dwell there.

A couple of weeks ago, the U.S. vetoed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Please donโ€™t be fooled by this empty show of support for Israel. The current U.S. leadership is no friend of Israel or the Jewish people. Bidenโ€™s recommendations, if followed, would seriously degrade the security of Israel as well as the safety of its people.

The actions of the Biden Administration toward Israel place America on dangerous ground for the following reasons:

They Will bring Godโ€™s Curse Upon Our Nation

The U.S. President and Secretary of State Blinken appear determined to stop Israel from achieving an all-out victory in its war with Hamas. Though they would never admit such a thing, their proposals would provide Hamas with a tactical victory as well as a position of strength in negotiating the release of hostages that it has not already murdered.

Because Israel still represents Godโ€™s chosen people (see Romans 11:1-2), the warning of Genesis 12:3 remains in effect: “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”

The Hebrew word for โ€œdishonors you,โ€ or โ€œcurseth youโ€ in the KJV, is translated in a variety of ways in the Old Testament. In this context, it signifies those who would treat Israel with contempt and dishonor. Itโ€™s the act of treating something โ€œlightlyโ€ in the sense of placing little importance upon it.

The word for โ€œI will curse,โ€ speaking in regard to Godโ€™s response to those who treat His people with disdain, is different and signifies what we understand as a curse, or in this case, a judgment on those who would treat Israel with derision such as the Biden Administration.

If the words of Genesis 12:3 still apply to Godโ€™s covenant with Abraham, which He reiterated to the descendants of Jacob (Psalm 105:7-11), and they do, the actions of the Biden administration will surely bring a curse upon himself as well as upon the nation.

His Proposal to Divide Godโ€™s Land Will Surely Bring Godโ€™s Wrath

As I have written before, and include here for completeness, Scripture makes it clear that those who attempt to divide Godโ€™s Land in the last days will incur His wrath.

The prophet Joel reveals that Godโ€™s wrath against the nations at the end of the Tribulation will stem from their desire to divide โ€œmy land”:

The actions of President Biden and his administration will surely bring Godโ€™s wrath upon the United States.

One of the key signs of judgments that will overflow the earth during the โ€œday of the Lordโ€ that the prophet Joel writes about is a darkening of the sun: “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of theย Lordย come.”

Jesus, in describing His return to earth after the judgments of the Tribulation period, also mentioned the darkening of the sun that will happen at His Second Coming.

Although the April 8, 2024, solar eclipse is not the darkening of the sun that will happen at the end of this age, I cannot escape the thought that it symbolizes the terrors that lie ahead for planet Earth.

I also believe itโ€™s a warning to America as it occurs in connection with Bidenโ€™s push to divide Godโ€™s land and the contempt that the U.S. president is displaying toward Israelโ€™s leadership by seeking to impose ceasefires in Gaza that interfere with their goal of defeating Hamas.

As the April 8 eclipse is garnering unprecedented interest for such an event, it occurs to me that the Lord might be causing this rabid attention. Could this be the Lordโ€™s way of drawing attention to His warning of judgment? I think so.

A family member from the Dallas area recently told me that hotels in the area are selling out for the event. Delta offered a flight from Austin to Detroit for the sole purpose of giving people an opportunity to view the darkening of the sun from the air, and people quickly purchased all the tickets for it.

Please know Iโ€™m not setting dates, but I cannot ignore the warning thatโ€™s happening at a time when the U.S. is not only steeped in great wickedness and government corruption that goes far beyond the limits of our imagination but also promoting policies toward Israel that the Bible says will surely result in the outpouring of Godโ€™s wrath on any nation that behaves in such a way.

Regardless of what the April 8 solar eclipse signifies regarding our future, America truly rests on dangerous ground as its leaders treat Israel with great contempt and seek to divide Godโ€™s Land.

Opposition To Israel vs Biblical Zionism: Are We On God’s Side?

Being on God's side is reassuring. It is based on our obedience, service, and humility. We know our place in God's family, and we would never pretend to have God on our side in a subservient position. There really is a difference between the two approaches. Being on God's side is the same as being in God's will, and there is no better place to be to understand His Word and His specific plan for the believers, for Israel, and for the Jewish people.

Parents Need To Talk With Teens About AI From The Foundation Ofย Godโ€™s Word

According to Pew Research, 1 in 3 teens use chatbotsโ€”which is more than parents realize.ย Another study reported that 1 in 5 teens has been romantically involved with AI or knows someone who has. Parents need to talk with teens about AI. More than ever, families must disciple young people to use technology wisely from the foundation ofย Godโ€™s Word.

We Really Are In A Raging War: University Professor Says He Is Waiting For Me To Die

The evolutionary worldview is a religion, one thatโ€™s practiced by those who attack Christianity. They have a nontheistic religion; in fact, evolution fits one of the Merriam-Webster dictionary definitions ofย religion: โ€œa cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.โ€ The dictionary definition of religion certainly describes the worldview of evolutionary naturalism. The beliefs of evolutionism purport to explain the entire worldโ€™s existence by means of evolutionary naturalism, and thus, it is an all-encompassing faithโ€”a religious worldview.
