On #GivingTuesday, would you help ALL ISRAEL NEWS stand against the new ‘Goliath’ – Big Media companies lying about Israel, Evangelicals & Biblical truth?
WASHINGTON, DC — While we hope and pray that Hamas and Hezbollah will be defeated soon, another war rages on.
We live in an age in which the Biblical principles and values that we as Evangelical Christians consider so dear and important are under relentless attack.
The very concept of truth itself is under attack.
Hatred of Jews is spiking in the U.S., Europe and around the world.
Hatred of Israel is metastasizing like a cancer.
The International Criminal Court has indicted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant as war criminals when they have been rightfully and legitimately fighting a war of self-defense against the criminal regime in Iran and its terror proxies.
At the same time, the BDS movement – which calls for worldwide boycotts of, divestments from, and sanctions on Israel – is feverishly trying to delegitimize Israelis’ very right to exist, defend ourselves, and prosper.
Hatred of Christians by radical Islamists throughout the Middle East and North Africa – including vicious attacks against our beliefs, our right to express ourselves, our right to assemble peacefully, and the very church buildings where we worship – is as serious as at any time in the past 2,000 years.
THE WOKE, LEFTIST BIG MEDIA HAS BECOME THE ‘GOLIATH’ OF OUR TIMES
Aiding and abetting all of it is the New Goliath – woke, leftist, so-called “progressive” companies in the Big Media and Big Tech sectors that routinely mock us, even as they seek to cancel us.
For too long, too many Evangelicals have lived in fear of the size, power and reach of these corporate behemoths, just as the ancient Israelites feared the Philistines and their nine-foot-tall “champion” named Goliath.
The Bible tells us that “on hearing the Philistine’s words, [King] Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.” (1 Samuel 17:11)
“Whenever the Israelites saw the man [Goliath], they all fled from him in great fear.” (I Samuel 17:24)
The entire Israelite army was paralyzed in the Goliath’s presence, and were thus unwilling to engage him in combat for fear of being destroyed.
WE STARTED ALL ISRAEL NEWS AND ALL ARAB NEWS TO STAND STRONG AGAINST THE GOLIATH OF BIG MEDIA
But we all remember the hero of the Biblical story – it’s not Goliath.
It’s the young shepherd boy named David.
At the time, no one believed that someone so young and unknown and inexperienced could successfully challenge – much less defeat – the fearsome Philistine giant.
David’s own brothers cynically ridiculed and dismissed him.
Goliath himself mocked the young man as he stepped out onto the battlefield because David appeared to him so small, so weak, and so ridiculous.
“Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” Goliath sneered.
Then “the Philistine cursed David by his gods,” the Bible says, shouting, “Come here, and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!” (I Samuel 17:43-44)
But as the story unfolds, we see that David was not trusting his own skills or courage, though he had both.
Rather, David put his total trust in the God of Israel.
“David said to the Philistine, ‘You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands... This very day… the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give all of you into our hands.’” (I Samuel 17:45-47)
And so it came to pass.
In the face of Big Media and Big Tech’s attack on the people and principles and values that we hold dear, this is precisely the faith and courage needed to defend Israel, the Jewish people, and the followers of Jesus Christ here in the Epicenter and around the region and the world.
Evangelicals need to truly and sincerely believe that the battle is the Lord’s and that He will be with us as we fight to defend truth in the public square.
On September 1, 2020, my colleagues and I launched ALL ISRAEL NEWS and ALL ARAB NEWS to do just that.
And what a crazy four years it’s been – good, bad, and ugly.
• Brutal wars
• Terrorism
• COVID
• Controversial and high-stakes elections
• A terrible surge in anti-Semitism and anti-Israel movements in the U.S. and around the world; and
• An avalanche of lies by so many in the “mainstream media” against Israel, Jews, Evangelical Christians, and Biblical truth.
