When Children Suffer and Die

This morning I turned on the news and saw images of bombs exploding in Gaza and the Arabs their pulling little children out of the rubble...many of whom were dead while many more were injured.

The reporter went to an Arab standing there and said, "Do you want Hamas to quit shooting missiles at Israel so Israel will stop bombing you so that this death and destruction might cease?"

"No," said the Arab man, "I want all the Arab militants to increase their missile fire into Israel."

Friends, when parents make bad mistakes many times it is the children who suffer and die.  Remember that the Arabs have had a supernatural hatred towards the Jews since the times of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael.  (Read Genesis)

Last night I was watching the amazing Ken Burns documentary on PBS about The Depression and the Dust Bowl that took place in OK, CO, KS, NM, TX and other plains states.  Why did all the top soil blow away and form huge dust clouds 10,000 feet high and make dirt drifts as high as a barn?  Because in their greed and hunger for prosperity, the farmers plowed up millions of acres of grassland that was only meant to support grass, buffalo and cattle.  Once the grass was removed and a dry spell came...there was NOTHING to stop the incessant wind.  It turned out to be the largest natural disaster to EVER befall America.  It decimated millions and millions of acres.

The dust was so bad, and so thick that the children had no way of NOT breathing it in.  Dozens and dozens of children got dirt in their lungs and died.  Was it the children's fault that dirt was in the air?  Of course not.  They suffered because of the choices and actions made by the adults.

Of course this is not a new story.  It's ALWAYS been that way and it ALWAYS will be that way.

Joshua 7:24-26

 

²⁴ Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold bar, his sons and daughters, his cattle, donkeys and sheep, his tent and all that he had, to the Valley of Achor. ²⁵ Joshua said, “Why have you brought this trouble on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today.”
Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them. ²⁶ Over Achan they heaped up a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day. Then the Lord turned from his fierce anger. Therefore that place has been called the Valley of Achor ever since.

Achan had sinned and directly defied the clear orders from God...and his whole family, including his sons and daughters and all his animals ,paid the price for his sin...and God's anger dissipated.

Of course I could give you many more examples in the Bible where God ordered the Israelites to kill everything in the city that they were taking over...including all the children.

Kids pay the price.

Now watch this short video clip about what the adults are teaching their children in Palestine and many other Arab countries.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M529qurtDY0&feature=related

They are being taught to hate and kill Jews.  They are being taught that the ultimate goal in life is to die as a suicide bomber for Allah.  They see their grade school being named after a young boy who blew himself up trying to kill Jews.  They see mothers publicly saying that they dream of the day when their kids will blow themselves up.

Is this a tragedy?  Of course.  Is Satan behind this?  Of course.  Are millions of Arab children being brought up to worship Satan and to dream of dying?  Of course.

Will Arab children die by the thousands because of the mistakes of their parents?  Yes.

When will this all stop?

Only when Jesus returns to set up his kingdom will this stop.

Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  This part of the world is so full of the Satanic lies of Islam that it is about to catch fire.

Thank you Jesus that you saved us from Satan's traps and have given us eternal life.  I pray that the Lord of the Harvest will gather MANY in these last days before Satan consumes them.
