The Angels of Abraham

In the Old Testament, Abraham, the Father of the Jewish Nation, withdrew from civilization , to a mountaintop with his son ,Issac, who he placed upon an alter ,..to be sacrificed to the one, true God.But, before Abraham could complete his grim task, an angel from above intervened ,taking the sacrificial blade from his hand .Abraham , the Father of a Nation, had passed God's test of faith. Or did he? Did God truly demand the death of Issac as a test of Abraham's faith, or was this a darker, more malevolent spirit that sought the death of Abraham's son?Was this Angel actually sent by the one true God, to stop Abraham from being deceived by this spirit? Perhaps.For this Old Testament story raises the question ,'Why would God demand that we kill in his name , to prove our faith? Answer,he wouldn't . Yet, like Abraham, for thousands of years the Muslim people have been the willing dupes in this deception by an unknown entity calling himself God.An entity who once whispered his demands to a gullible Prophet named Muhammed, ..demands that were to set the Muslim nations against all civilization , in a bloody, never ending war that sought the death of all those who do not believe in their false god.
The near sacrifice of Issac , by his Father's hand, is one of the more disturbing biblical stories to be sure. Why didn't Abraham , who was , by all accounts, a good man , simply say no?Why would he obey the commands of anyone who demanded the death of his son? Because,.he believed the command was coming from the one true God himself, and Abraham , a man of faith, could not bring himself to disobey his commands . Much has changed over the centuries.The Nation of Israel, and its leaders ,would never believe in any God who commanded them to kill in his name. The Ten Commandments, brought down from Sinai by the Prophet Moses, and the coming of another prophet named Jesus, revealed the true face of God to the Jewish people ,..a face of peace, love,and the brotherhood of man.After the Great Flood, God vowed he would never again destroy man , nor would he ever ask man to destroy each other . He is a God of peace, and that peace was embodied in the teachings of Christ,..teachings that would change the world for the better , and eventually teachings that would be the foundation for the Shining City on a Hill, the beacon of freedom called America , and its partner in freedom, Israel. Our belief in basic Judeo-Christian values gave hope to a dark, dismal world of oppression and evil .America and Israel , because of these values , stand united in a fight to bring peace and freedom to the entire world. There would be no repeat of Abraham's mistake, by the Judeo-Christian Nations that were spawned by him.
But, there are others who, like Abraham, were deceived by someone , or something,..that dared call himself God. The Prophet Muhammed's  mistake of believing in this deceiver and his teachings has indeed been repeated down through the centuries by those who follow the Prophet , in the name of Islam. They came in many forms,..the Taliban, Al-Queda,the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, Hamas,..but all have one thing in common,..their unwaivering faith in a God that commands them to kill all non-believers in his name. Their main targets..the beacons of freedom known as America, and Israel. America , now under the leadership of President Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party, no longer recognizes the seriousness of this threat , and has subsequently withdrawn its military forces from nations around the globe that pose a potential terror threat. The result is obvious. Iraq is now a terror state run by the Al-Queda offshoot known as ISIS,that is currently persecuting , and killing all Christians in that region. And Hamas, the terror organization that controls the Gaza strip, has now unleashed all hell upon Israel, who can no longer count on the United States to back them up , while it remains under the leadership of President  Obama and the Democrat Party. Israel, however,is a superpower unto itself, and with the help of Reagan inspired SDI "Iron Dome"technology , is easily crushing the Hamas controlled Gaza.
Hamas, vastly outgunned,..will not quit, despite the fact that their casualties continue to mount and their terror tunnels are being  eliminated by Israeli air strikes. They will not quit. The will of their evil god must be obeyed , now and always. Israel will not relent either, and wants nothing more than peace. If Hamas puts down their weapons ,...peace is assured.If Israel, however,.puts down its weapons,..the death and destruction of all that is Israel is likewise assured. Both claim to be following the will of the same God. But, only one is. Peace, love, and freedom are the only teachings that should ever be followed by any nation of faith. To believe otherwise is to make yourself , like Al-Queda, a willing dupe to the forces of evil, as Abraham was.And, like Abraham these willing dupes who call themselves Hamas are ready, willing and able to sacrifice their children in the name of their God . Make no mistake about it, despite the rallying cry  from the American liberal left in support of Hamas controlled Gaza, Israel is not targeting Gaza's children.In fact, Israel has gone out of its way to avoid civilian deaths , giving Hamas plenty of warnings as to when and where their missiles will strike. No, Israel is not killing children. Hamas is. Hamas is not only deliberately putting Palestinians in the path of Israel's airstrikes,but , in many cases Hamas is killing these citizens themselves, including their children. But, this should come as no surprise. This is a standard tactic of all terror organizations . Civilian casualty propaganda is the lifeblood of the terrorist ,and its only effective weapon. After all, Hamas and all other terror offshoots cannot match the sheer firepower , or skill, of the American-Israel forces. Let's face it,if either nation really let loose on these terror states, they would obliterate them in record time. It is, in fact only the humanity of America and Israel that forces them to restrain themselves from going all out , in an effort to crush the terrorists. We value human life, including Gazan children. That gives us pause . That restrains us.And that's the reason Hamas and Gaza still exist instead of being reduced to a burnt out cinder.
Humanity, and Faith , based on the Judeo-Christian  principles of peace , love, and freedom ,saved the world from eternal darkness. Al-Queda, Taliban, ISIS,Hamas, , and all who follow the teachings of Islam , have no humanity and care nothing for their own children that they willingly and enthusiastically kill,for propaganda purposes , in the name of their evil god.
Israel and America fight to preserve life and freedom. Hamas fights to preserve power, oppression ,and evil. The terrorists have been duped , hoodwinked, by an evil god that seeks only power and the subjugation of his followers that foolishly worship him, and fight in the name of Radical Islam. Of course they're dupes, but,..they are dupes that , unlike Abraham,..have embraced the evil they commit, because they, themselves are evil. Yes, Abraham may have been deceived, but Israel is not.Nor will it ever bow to a God who demands the sacrifice of children in his name.
And, what of the Shining City on a Hill called America? Will it continue to stand with Israel in their fight against evil? Of course. Even though the liberal left , led by the Obama Administration and the Democrat Party have chosen to stand with evil Hamas and ignore the persecution of Christians in muslim nations around the globe , Israel need not worry. For,'We the People",are the true rulers of this land, and will,eventually overthrow the Obama regime and the Democrats. And"We the People" will never abandon our partner in freedom , noble beleagured Israel. The American left, embodied by the Democrat Party, has chosen sides , and in so doing have exposed their hypocracy .They hate Israel. They always have, and always will. And, therefore, they support its enemy,Hamas, and radical Islam in general. The reason for their hate is obvious. They hate America for its perceived imperialism , and self governing freedom. , which is a threat to the political power and government control they crave. Why then, wouldn't they hate Israel, that is a carbon copy of America's liberty and military power? Israel terrifies the left, because it proves that the concept of arrogant , elitist , imperialist America , can spread beyond our borders to other , far off lands.To the left, that cannot be tolerated, and is the reason that, like Hamas, the American left demands Israel's destruction, before this contagion called freedom can spread any further. Why else would the Obama administration continue to send  billions of American tax dollars to Hamas controlled Gaza, every year? They want Hamas to win . Its that simple. Too bad. Because ,"We the People", will stand with Israel eternally , and will never abandon the nation that believes as we do, that the one, true God, is a God of peace and freedom that demands that we, like Abraham's Angel, protect all children from the false god that demands their blood as a test of faith, and loyalty. Obama may have abandoned Israel, but,..there is a change in the wind. A storm is coming in November. A storm that will take back the Nation from the destructive Democrats who view America as the problem , and put it back in the hands of the Republicans who know that Israel, and America  are not the problem,........but the solution.
