Email from a friend on imminent terrorist threat

A friend of mine sent an email about an imminent terrorist threat, puportedly sent by a Juval Aviv. My reaction:
  • According to SNOPES, this is a hoax. (http://www.snopes.com/rumors/soapbox/juvalaviv.asp last updated almost a year ago)
  • However, anyone who has ever been involved with security in the military would agree with the assertions attributed to Mr. Aviv.
  • The recent call by the Obama administration to "overhaul" our intelligence community is a signal being sent to all terrorists to act while we're in a state of flux (makes me wonder if the president isn't trying to find a reason to demand sweeping changes since the Christmas day event was NOT actually successful); you don't make quick changes to mission critical systems, but rather, you enhance, test and eventually replace system errors when shortcomings are discovered.
  • The Lord gave me this word: "I am about to destroy a nation tall and strong, a people feared by many nations. And then I shall raise them up again as My people, a nation of towering oaks, trees of righteousness. Never have I released My wrath on so many, and never have so many been redeemed!" (http://mitchellmalloy.blogspot.com/2010/01/call-to-draw-closer-to-god-and-embrace.html) I believe this refers to the US (reference Isa 18)
  • Still, God will provide for His people and He will will reclaim us from our wickedness. The reason we are a target of Islam is because the US is leading the world into wicked ways through our exports of technology and entertainment. If we rise up in holiness and dedication to the Lord and His ways, I believe that He will relent of the wrath that is otherwise surely coming our way. This is a call to believers in this nation to be fully His, not to a nation that doesn't know Him. It starts with us... with renewal... individually and collectively.
Peace in the midst of this storm!

Is Modern Israel Biblical Israel?

Image
With the growing conflict in the Middle East, the eyes of the world have been turning toward Israel. So it was no surprise when I was asked the question: do I believe that Modern Israel is the same Israel that’s talked about in the Bible. That question is slightly complicated and one that causes some debate in Christian circles. Understanding the complexity of the question To answer this question some people may argue that we must first draw a distinction between Modern Israel and Ancient Israel. There is no doubt that Ancient Israel is all throughout Scripture, and we know historically it was destroyed as a nation. The people of that ancient nation were scattered throughout the world just as God foretold as early as Deuteronomy, one of the first books in the Bible. God warned that this would happen to Israel as consequence of their sins. Known as the diaspora, the Jewish people wandered for thousands of years without a land to call their own and yet they maintained an identity. I don’...

What is a Soul? (and other related questions)

Ok, let’s be honest, who has ever heard a clear definition of a soul. It’s a mystical, ethereal thing that is somehow the same as and yet different from our spirit (Hebrews 4:12). I’ve heard it described as the mind, will and emotion, which is both true and says absolutely nothing. The best definition I’ve heard is that it’s our habit of thinking, those thoughts we think without realizing that we are thinking, and that concept finally opened doors for me to understand how the soul is indeed the mind, will and emotion all tied up together in a way that describes the essence of who we are.  And that understanding opened many more doors to see how this battleground of the soul is where Satan operates. If he can get us to think wrongly without even realizing our self-sabotage, then the battle is almost won (by him… bad for us!). He can neutralize our efforts by the self-sabotage of our habits of thought. He can create discouraging feelings when God’s Word tells us to be bold and ...
