Power of Distraction

Is there Anything Real out There?

The world has been spinning out of control in mad chaos that no one really understands. Trump was inaugurated. He accomplished some encouraging things during his first hours in office. Everything sounds good. But is it really? Some of us are burned out from worrying about what comes next. Is Trump telling us the truth? Or is this propaganda?… again? Another big show to gain power and money? Is Donald Trump actually bringing about globalist control? The world was weakened under the past regime. So now, with our confidence destroyed, We embrace a leader that goes beyond the duties of a President of the United States? 

No, you can’t really blame us for pondering that what we see is really not what we get! And how did we come to be this way? Those of us who ask these questions obviously took the red pill, which makes us suspicious of everything. But does God factor in somewhere? Can we believe that the Eternal, all powerful Master of the Universe is still in control? Does He really raise up kings and put down kings? (Daniel 2:21), or are the promises we have relied on in the past null and void of fulfillment? 

Does Israel really have an end-time purpose in this world? Are the glorious promises in the Bible really meant for us today, or did we somehow miss the boat along the way? It’s easy to doubt, and I know it’s not right to think this way. But it’s extremely sad to see so many of our innocents killed, raped, burned, beheaded, and terrified. Even now, though some have been released, what is the chance that any of them who endured the last 16 months will be mentally ill,–that is, if they survive at all? Naturally, we are insecure, and even doubt the reasons for our faith. Sometimes wonder if we will see another tomorrow.

We try to put it out of our minds. Distraction is a game we play and it may be the only way to survive this horrendous war in any semblance of sanity. It’s difficult not to dwell on hostages half buried in dark holes beneath the grime–violated and hated. There is no certainty that any of them are still alive. As humans, we can never be satisfied with not knowing about something so precious as human life. And so we try to avoid thinking of the unthinkable! The long saga of dwelling on the evil fate of these beloved victims–living or perhaps even preferably dead in the tunnels of frozen fright, is pure hell for both them and all of us who have a soul.

So we stop thinking because we must. But let us ask ourselves: where has hope gone? Where is God at a time like this? Are there a few faithful souls who still see good beyond the tragedy of our times? 

The world is being weighed in the balances, with Israel being the centerpiece. It is as if God has drawn a line in the sand. A line separating between those who love His people and those who do not.

To call evil good and good evil seems to be the theme of a world gone mad. I have to believe that Almighty God sees us now. He saw Israel when they labored in the the slime pits of Egypt. Then he called Moses to set His people free.

“And God saw the children of Israel, and God knew…” Exodus 2:25

Can we bank on that now? 

Please share your thoughts. I really would like to hear from you!

  1. Sadly the release of so many terrorists is going to create far more needless casualties. The idea of releasing even one terrorist goes against any semblance of sense.
    Kidnapping is both biblically and by common law a capital crime.
    Of course it’s wonderful that a few f our beloved people are now free, but free for what? How are they going to feel when the first person to be murdered, raped, kidnapped or who knows what by the released criminals. I would not want that on my conscience.
    Before you judge my remarks know that I have lost children and know the pain of those losses daily.
    Johnathan Pollard was offered the chance to get out of jail in return for the release of terrorists but he could not imagine living with himself if someone else died for his freedom and so spent another ten years in prison. That was a morally correct decision and as painful as it is we should not be allowing a terrorist organization to make any demands of us.
    An eye for an eye, a life for a life. We get our people back and you get your people back in the same condition.

  2. By the way great article..
    I think a great argument as to why YHVH seems to have abandoned us is that so many rabinites have abandoned him.
    Very few ultra Orthodox talk Torah, They talk Mishna and Talmud written by rabbi’s but not Torah written from YHVHs mouth. They wear stupid hats that most can’t afford made from unclean animal skins and yet condemn anyone who mixes meat and milk!
    As always well thought out and well written.
