\nPart 1<\/p>\n

\u201cI will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.\u201d (Genesis 12:3)<\/p>\n

The covenant that God made with Abram as reported in Genesis 12 included a blessing for all of the nations of the world that blessed the seed of Abram (Abraham) and a curse for those that cursed it. These words have never been truer as the Jew hating Arab nations descend into total chaos while nations such as the US benefit from the many inventions and innovations continually coming out Israel. <\/p>\n

While war rages in the Gaza Strip, hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians are dead or wounded and their homes are totally destroyed. ISIS, the Islamic terrorist organization that now claims a large part of Syria and most of Iraq is systematically raping young girls under the pretext of marriage arrangements while it destroys the cultures of the areas it now dominates and tortures and kills all who resist its fanatical advances. Christians have been forced to flee for their lives from all of Syria and Iraq. The dark blanket of Sharia law has fallen over this new ISIS Caliphate where the simplest offenses can mean the loss of a limb or one\u2019s head. In the name of Islam and the holy Koran, now millions have become prisoners living in their own land. <\/p>\n
