I, for one, didn’t catch a ride on the Palin bandwagon.
I suddenly realized that what I was witnessing in political Christian circles was the same thing that I have been witnessing in the Christian church over the past several years-a lack of discernment. Anytime “ga-ga” is present, discernment is usually absent.
Let’s be honest. Both political and biblical illiteracy is running rampant in Christianity today. Many of us don’t take the time to know who our candidates really are and what they stand for. Likewise, many of us don’t take the time to know God’s Word and what He really stands for.
Take the issue of dividing Israel for example. What does God say about dividing Israel? Before you read any further, test yourself and first try to answer the question. Genesis 12:3 says that those bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. Joel 3:1-3 says that all nations will be judged by God himself for dividing up Israel.
And so in light of these truths about dividing Israel, would it be safe to say that we as Christians should bless Israel? Would it be safe to say that we as Christians should not curse Israel? Would it be safe to say that we as Christians should not divide Israel? And would it be safe to even say that we as Christians should not be voting for anyone who is in favor of or associated with dividing Israel?
If you answered yes and you’re voting for McCain and Palin on November 4th, you’re in trouble because McCain and Palin, who claim to be Pro-Israel, are not really Pro-Israel (none on the 2008 Election Ballot are). In fact, they want to divide Israel and give the Palestinians a state. Governor Palin said this at the vice presidential debate concerning the land of Israel: “A two-state solution is the solution.”
The following post dated October 5, 2008 from the Jerusalem Watchmen says it all:
“It is NOT the solution if those two states are carved out of the land of Israel, whose borders have been clearly demarcated in Scripture, which also states that the return of that land to Jewish sovereignty is God’s doing. Furthermore, according to the Bible, all nations will be judged by God Himself for dividing up that land (Joel 3:1-3).
Supporting “two states” supports dividing the land between an ancient nation that has biblical, historical and traditional rights to it and a non-nation that has none of these rights but which has garnered global support for its illegitimate territorial claims through terrorism, violence, murder and threats.
“Land-for-Peace” is an immoral policy and a bankrupt one.
70 years ago this year, Britain and France forced Czechoslovakia to give the Sudetenland to Hitler to appease him and prevent war. Instead, this betrayal of the Czechs led directly to World War II and untold millions of deaths.
Successive U.S. administrations have pressured Israel into giving the cradle of Jewish civilization to the Arabs to appease them and keep the Middle East stable. Instead the surrender of these lands to the Arab world has fueled their hunger to get it all and is setting the stage for another massive war.
The U.S has no business trying to play “honest broker” between Israel and those who are out to destroy Israel. Instead America should, because of its Judeo-Christian heritage and values, be unapologetically and unmistakably on Israel’s side.
Supporting the two-state solution will deprive a McCain-Palin administration of God’s blessing. Neither will there be inroads to victory in any of the other battles in your cultural war while the White House continues to support and push for “land-for-peace.” Reversing this policy will require immense moral courage and great statesmanship. But doing so will bring God’s abundant blessing. For the Almighty, supporting Israel is not an issue. It is THE issue.”
Which begs a final question: If it’s “THE” issue for the Almighty, shouldn’t the divine foreign policy established centuries ago through the Abrahamic covenant be “THE” issue for us as Christians as we head to the polls on November 4th?
The blood won’t be on my hands.

The Truth War by John MacArthur: Right now, Truth is under attack and much is at stake. In a postmodern culture, Christians are caught in the crossfire of alternative Christian histories, emerging faulty texts and a cultural push to eliminate absolute Truth altogether. As a result, many churches and Christians have been deceived. Worse still, they propagate the deception that poses itself as Truth! In The Truth War, John MacArthur reclaims the unwavering certainty of God’s Truth and anchors Christians in the eternal, immovable promises found in His Word.
Epicenter 2.0 by Joel C. Rosenberg: In his first groundbreaking nonfiction book, now with updated content, New York Times best-selling author Joel C. Rosenberg takes readers on an unforgettable journey through prophecy and current events into the future of Iraq after Saddam, Russia after Communism, Israel after Arafat and Christianity after radical Islam. You won’t want to miss Joel’sexclusive interviews with Israeli, Palestinian and Russian leaders, along with previously classified CIA and White House documents. New content includes the most up-to-date information since the hardcover release in 2006, a new poll about American attitudes toward the Middle East and prophecy and transcripts of interviews conducted during the interview process for the Epicenter DVD-video.
Isralestine by Bill Salus: Set to explode in the not so distant future is a devastating war in the Middle East. The Jews will fight off Arab aggression and end terrorism once and for all! Isralestine: The Ancient Blueprints of the Future Middle East, boldly unveils significant Bible prophecy that has eluded the discernment of today’s great scholars. Once upon a foretold time the Jewish people were to meet with a holocaust type condition, out from which they would return back to their ancient homeland of Israel. They would begin as refugees, but promptly emerge into an exceedingly great army. As per Psalm 83, destiny’s design for this great army is a head to head confrontation with a formidable Arab confederacy consisting of Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Jordanians, Saudis, Egyptians and associated terrorist groups like the Hamas, Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda. This Arab coalition has been developing in its fledgling stages since 1948 and will climax and officially confederate in the very near future. The Israeli Defense Forces will decisively defeat this offensive and prove to be the “exceedingly great army” of Ezekiel 37:10. They will expand territorially, become regionally superior, take prisoners of war and exploit the resources of these conquered Arab nations. In that condition they will become one of, if not the wealthiest nations on earth. It is from that position of empowerment that the Jews will dwell securely in the Middle East. Subsequently the world stage is set for the Russian–Iranian led coalition of nations, which will form against Israel as prophesied in the book of Ezekiel,chapters 38 and 39. This non–fiction thriller is carefully designed to cautiously navigate the reader through the end time’s calendar.
