Our Last Vestige Of Hope

The Bible is very clear in the book of Genesis that all those who support the nation of Israel will be blessed and rewarded for doing so. Any nation that opposes Israel, on the other hand, will be severely punished. I am pleased to find the Gov. Mike Huckabee is a staunch supporter of this tiny nation in the heart of the Middle East.

I sometimes wonder what it is the keeps God from removing his blessing from our nation. There are only two Biblical reasons that cause God to bless a nation. "Righteousness exalteth a nation," and supporting Israel. I do not believe that it is our 'righteousness' that is keeping God's blessing on us. America is now far from righteous...don't get me started! We can still, however, cling to our last vestige of hope. Our strong support of God's chosen nation of Israel! Consider these quotes from presidential hopeful, Mike Huckabee:

"I am a steadfast supporter of Israel, our staunch ally in the War on Terror, the only fully-functioning democracy in the Middle East, and our greatest friend in that region.

"The United States must remain true to its long-standing commitment to the Israeli people.

"As President, I will always ensure that Israel has access to the state-of-the-art weapons and technology she needs to defend herself from those who seek her annihilation.

"I've visited the Middle East extensively over the past thirty-five years, including nine trips to Israel. I salute and support Israel as our staunch ally in the War on Terror and our greatest friend in that region. As the only fully-functioning democracy in the Middle East, Israel occupies a unique position both geographically and geopolitically. Israel is an important partner in the spread of freedom and democracy throughout the Middle East and the world.

"The United States must remain true to its long-standing, bipartisan commitment to the Israelis. I will always ensure that Israel has access to the state-of-the-art weapons and technology she needs to defend herself from those who seek her annihilation."
