Why do most Christians never ask the question?
Yes, I know that there are many, many Christians who love the Land of Israel and her people. It’s wonderful to see. But, few seem to step back and ask why.
Now, you aren’t a bad Christian if you don’t ask such questions, but there is a depth of meaning here that many of us forget, as we go about our lives seeking to serve God.
So, let’s ask the question:
Why Israel?
A civilization can survive almost anything, as long as its foundation remains unshaken. Take away its fundamental raison d’etre (reason for being), and it will die. Dissolve the glue that holds us together, and society falls apart.
That foundation, that reason for being, that glue… that made Western Civilization so successful …is gone. And, the final blow apparently came during the pandemic hysteria of the past three years.
Our Biblical world view has collapsed, and this means that our current civilization has finally died.
This might sound strange to some of you, so let me explain.
The Pale Horse is actually green. The original Greek for pale in Revelation 6:8 is chloros (χλωρος) and it literally just means green – as in chlorophyll green. So, it’s a green horse, not pale. But, everyone knows about the Pale Horse, so we’ll keep it pale in the title. But, whatever color you call it…
…it’s really, really bad.
Death rides that horse through a quarter of the world, killing with violence, hunger, disease and wild animals. The question is…
What quarter of the world will this be?
And what will it be like for the rest of us?
Let’s dig into that.
