A Jewish Lesson

.

It is the Soldier

Who Salutes the Flag,

Who Serves beneath the Flag,

Whose Coffin is draped by the Flag,

But allows Protesters to burn the Flag.

Ok, this post is certainly not meant to offend anyone, but undoubtedly it will. Knowing that, I will go on with the post because the message is so very important.

Throughout written history, there have been no more of a submissive people than the Jew, and no more of a God loving people than the Jew. From the days of the Pharaohs 2500 years ago, to Hitler's attempted total extermination of the Jews 70 years ago, they Jews have been enslaved and persecuted.

Enslaved and persecuted only because they submitted to it. Yes, they submitted. And, I'll say it again - They submitted. Although they prayed to God for deliverance, they did little else to help themselves. Many will argue that there was nothing they could do. Baloney.

The Jews submitted to the Egyptians and built their cities and pyramids, while only a few guards were used to control thousands of Jews. They could have easily overtaken the guards and fled to freedom, but they submitted to them, and merely prayed that God would send a Savior. When that happened they refused to recognize the Saviour, and they continued to be persecuted.

While greater Europe remained in denial, Hitler rose. They hid their heads hoping and praying that he would just go away, but doing little else. They failed to respond until it was too late. One country fell after another and they cried for help.

And the Jews submitted to the Nazis. Thousands of Jews at a time arrived by train loads at the extermination camps the Nazi's had built, and submitted to the few guards that walked them into the death chambers. Many argue they didn't know what was about to happen, and there was nothing that they could do even if they did know. Baloney. Six Million Jews were slaughtered because they submitted. 100 against 1 is no fair fight even if the Nazi soldiers had machine guns.

But finally in 1947, the Jews stood firm against their oppression, and established their own country. And now look at what they accomplished, with God's help of course. A country with a mandatory military service that is known as a very fine fighting force. They are not a waring nation, but seek only to defend themselves against tyranny. And much of the time they go it alone without the help of anyone. There are now no prouder people than the Israelis.

Take note of this Jewish lesson folks. The Jews were nearly exterminated because they submitted to oppression for thousands of years. They merely prayed for help while they submitted to slavery and eventually extermination. They failed to recognized their eminent danger soon enough, and then failed to take the appropriate action to prevent their demise until it was too late.

Will that same fate come to America? We are losing the battle, and most of you readily admit it. America is in peril from the radicals of the world, from the radicals within, and from it's own government. But will we just pray about it and submit like the Jews? I'm all for prayer, but we can't just huddle in church every week while America crumbles. We must do more than pray.

Let's get it done!
