War! or a whimper?

Our current leaders are perfect for a post-rapture America

It dawned on me this morning that our current national leaders are perfect for a post-Rapture America. Most are globalists and weak-minded with animus vis a vis national defense and our wonderful American heritage while at the same time eager to bow to the UN and pressures from nations unfriendly to America and Israel. Who better to be in power after the Rapture. They won't blink an eye while surrendering whatever American sovereignty remains to the UN or equivalent. They will fold without a so much as a whimper. America is perfectly positioned to be a non-factor in these rapidly changing last days.

Prepare for holy wars

This is not just a political dispute over territory or refugee rights. What we have here is a deep religious war between Judaism and Islam, with political arguments only constituting the outer layer of this religious war. Islam’s hate for Judaism is in some ways different than its hate for Christianity yet similar in other ways. In Islam’s view, both Jews and Christians are infidels and deserve the same fate.
