Reading stuff like this makes you realize conservative Christians view world events differently:
Harvest Ministries leader Greg Laurie concluded the last of his three radio interviews with Calvary Chapel founder Pastor Chuck Smith on Wednesday by asking him about the future of Israel.
Affirming that the current threats against Israel are a sign of the end times, he stated, "The Bible tells us that the Lord is going to gather them back into the land and there is going to be an endeavor to destroy them. It is interesting that Iran is one of those nations that will be aligned together with Russia in the attempt to destroy [Israel]. It's interesting how they are all coming together now.
"We see the problems that are over there and we realize that it looks like we are right on the border of the fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 and 39."
Earlier this week, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, visited President Barack Obama in the White House. At the meeting, that included a discussion with their national-security advisers and a 30-minute chat alone, Netanyahu gave Obama a decorated scroll of the story of Esther from the Bible.
The book of Esther tells the story of how the beautiful Esther and her cousin, Mordechai, plot to keep the evil Haman from murdering Persia's Jews. Laurie asked Smith what the significance of the gift to Obama from Netanyahu might be.
"It was during that time that Ester was used by the Lord to save the nation of Israel from eradication that was planned by Haman, who was part of the Neo-Persian empire," Smith said. "[Haman] had a day all set up when they were going to put a bounty on the head of every Jew throughout the area."
