Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Speech to US Congress
This speech, given on Tuesday of this week, could very well go down in history as a turning point in the history of the world. God’s promise to Abraham still stands – that He will bless those who bless Israel, and curse those who curse Israel. With that in mind, the head of any nation with a head on his shoulders would make it his first priority to protect Israel’s interests. These interests were laid out clearly on Tuesday by Prime Minister Netanyahu.

His commanding voice and solid grasp of history (the Holocaust), literature (reference to Robert Frost), Scripture (he closed with Moses last words to Israel), and humanity (he referred directly to Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel), each worked together to convey a message of urgency and clarity regarding Israel’s militant terrorist neighbors and the position the United States is in to possibly stop it. Given how seriously God takes His promises, we can only pray that we do stop it.
