There’s a reason the Book of Romans is my favorite book in the Bible.
The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 11:26: “And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.”
Israel’s story is not finished. The nation that the world wants to erase, God has declared will be redeemed. You cannot have a redemption without a remnant. You cannot have a return without a people to return to. The very existence of Israel today, the most resilient nation is God keeping His word.
Zechariah 14 is unmistakable. “His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which lies to the east of Jerusalem.” Not a metaphor. The same Mount of Olives where He ascended in Acts 1, where the angels declared He would return in the same manner. He is coming back, and He is coming back there.
Jerusalem is not incidental to eschatology. Jerusalem is the epicenter of it. The King of Kings will reign from that city. The nations will come up to worship in that place. This is why the enemy has always wanted to erase it, why the world’s hatred for one small nation is so disproportionate to her size because Hell understands what is at stake even when the Church forgets.
Israel, like every nation, is made up of broken human beings in need of a Savior. But the promises of God do not rest on Israel’s perfection. They rest on God’s character. “The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable,” Paul wrote in Romans 11:29.
If God could break His covenant with Israel, He could break His covenant with me. But He cannot. He will not. And so Israel endures as a sign, as a witness, as a living testimony that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the same yesterday, today, and forever and His word will stand forever.
And that gives me great peace. No matter what’s happening in the world.
So when I defend Israel, I don’t defend every action of every government. They have a left too, one I disagree with daily.
I defend Israel because I defend the Word of God. And I defend the Word of God because Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior and His Word is always true. Every single word. Not just the one’s people want to focus on.
I don’t know what happens in the end. I don’t know who is saved or why. And I don’t care. I know the same Jesus who died for my sins made promises to that nation and He will keep every last one of them.
Larry Ellison asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer.
A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing.
Ellison didn’t argue. Didn’t get emotional. He just asked a question.
Ellison: “This guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You ever land a rocket?”
One question. No recovery.
Ellison: “Who are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?”
This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didn’t involve a keyboard and a deadline?
Ellison: “You’re there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elon’s an idiot.”
They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesn’t know what he’s doing.
They have never built anything heavier than a Word document.
And they publish it with absolute certainty.
That’s the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldn’t last a single semester in.
Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home.
His critics operate in a text editor.
He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap.
His loudest critics built a byline.
So why the coordinated hatred?
Because they lost the leash.
The attacks didn’t escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what you’re allowed to think.
They don’t hate the engineer.
They hate that the engineer took their monopoly.
You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics.
They own the syntax.
He owns the physics.
One of them is going to Mars.

The Dangerous Sin of Twisting Scripture to Fuel Antisemitism
If you have never lived in a country that has no God, a godless regime that wages open war on the Almighty, you have no moral standing or opinion on this matter. When you claim the land covenant is conditional and that God has revoked His promise, you are simply spreading the propaganda of atheists under the cover of sounding like a Bible-knowing person.
You are but a grain of sand in the vast universe, insignificant and irrelevant. Every single day on this Earth is the day that the Lord has made. If you dare say that God broke a covenant because you think so, what does that make you? How are you still a believer? How can you claim to believe that God exists and then smear His holy name like this? Do you understand that this is a sin?
It is exactly what happened to the people who rejected Him in the Soviet Union. Under the officially atheist communist regime that declared total war on the living God, closing thousands of churches, executing priests, banning the Bible, and forcing state atheism on every citizen, the conditional curses of the Mosaic Covenant came to life in the most horrifying way imaginable. During the Holodomor, Stalin’s man-made famine of 1932–1933, and again in the unimaginable suffering of WWII under the same godless system, millions upon millions starved to death in engineered agony. The very warnings of Leviticus and Deuteronomy unfolded before the eyes of the world. Mothers, driven to the brink of insanity by relentless hunger, killed and ate the flesh of their own sons and daughters just to survive another day. Declassified NKVD and GPU archives document over 1,022 criminal cases of cannibalism during the Holodomor alone, with more than 2,000 recorded during the Siege of Leningrad, many involving parents consuming their children. Yet even in the depths of that judgment, a faithful remnant secretly worshiped the one true God, risking arrest, torture, and death in underground meetings and hidden prayers. These brave souls survived the nightmare and lived to bear witness to the horrific stories of famine, cannibalism, and divine judgment that fell upon a nation that turned its back on the Almighty. God does not abandon His people. He uses all of us, even the rise and catastrophic fall of godless regimes, to show His glory and power.
The rise of antisemitism dressed up in Bible quotes is not clever theology. It is blasphemy.
I heard last night in an X Space the blasphemy reach new depths. Voices declared the land covenant “conditional.” They smugly insisted that because Israel had sinned in the past, God had forever revoked His promise. “Israel was given a conditional land covenant,” they repeated, as if the Almighty who swore by His own name had suddenly become a liar who breaks His eternal oath. They dragged God’s holy name into their idiocy, broadcasting it before thousands tuned in, and in doing so committed open sin against the living God.
Right after that came the statements about the Jews eating their children. What is it? They twisted the Bible to claim this as some eternal curse proving the Jews are forever dispossessed. What the Scriptures actually say exposes the deceit:
Leviticus 26:29 : “You shall eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters.”
Deuteronomy 28:53 : “You shall eat the fruit of your womb, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters whom the Lord your God has given you, in the siege and in the distress with which your enemies shall distress you.”
These are conditional curses in the Mosaic Covenant, warnings of the famine horrors that would follow if Israel disobeyed God’s law. They are not an eternal smear. They have nothing to do with the unconditional Abrahamic land promise.
On October 7, 2023, the world witnessed pure demonic barbarism. Hamas and IRGC-backed terrorists stormed into Israel like locusts from the pit of hell. At the Nova music festival, 364 young people were gunned down in a hail of bullets while terrorists paused to rape women beside the bodies of their slaughtered friends. In Kibbutz Be’eri and Kfar Aza, entire families were burned alive in their safe rooms, babies were beheaded, women were gang-raped with such systematic cruelty that forensic examiners broke down in tears. Grandmothers were paraded as trophies through Gaza streets. Over 1,200 souls, Jews, Arabs, foreigners, were butchered with a glee that echoed the very horrors Scripture condemns. And in the aftermath, instead of horror, a chorus of voices rose to cheer it as “resistance.”
The rise of antisemitism dressed up in Bible quotes is not clever theology. It is blasphemy.
Here is how the vicious cycle works.
Antisemitism comes first, a deep, irrational, satanic hatred of the Jewish people that has poisoned hearts for millennia. That hatred then drives people to ransack the Bible, cherry-picking and twisting verses to “prove” their prejudice is divine. They seize on the Mosaic Covenant’s conditional curses and wave them like weapons.
Once the false information is spread in Spaces, on campuses, across social media, it fuels the next wave of antisemitism.
By dressing raw Jew-hatred in the language of Scripture, it sanctifies the hatred for a new generation. It gives moral cover to those who would never admit raw bigotry. It turns “Israel has no right to exist” into a pseudo-theological position. It normalizes calls for Israel’s destruction. It emboldens the very barbarians of Hamas and their cheerleaders who celebrate rape, mutilation, and baby-killing as “justice.”
This is the cycle: Antisemitism leads to distorted Bible quotes, which leads to the spread of false “conditional covenant” theology, which leads to more antisemitism and more violence and blasphemy.
Genesis 17:8 declares with finality: “The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you, and I will be their God.”
This is the unconditional Abrahamic Covenant, unilateral, sworn by God alone while Abraham slept (Genesis 15). Only the smoking firepot and blazing torch passed between the pieces. God bound Himself. He does not take back His word. Numbers 23:19 testifies: “God is not a man, that He should lie, or a son of man, that He should change His mind.” The land is an everlasting possession. The prophets who warned of judgment never canceled the covenant. They promised restoration because of it (Ezekiel 36:22–28).
The same Bible these blasphemers quote also warns of the fate awaiting those who rage against Jerusalem:
Zechariah 14:2: “For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses plundered and the women raped…”
Yet immediately the judgment is pronounced:
Zechariah 12:9 : “On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
Isaiah 5:20 pronounces woe on the Bible-twisters:
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.”
Zechariah 2:8 delivers the terrifying warning: “For whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye.”
God is one and He is mighty. He does not break His promises. The rise of antisemitism cloaked in Scripture is not intellectual sophistication. It is open rebellion against the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It is blasphemy.
Stop reading the Bible as a weapon for your hatred. Start living it, or prepare to face the God whose name you have dragged through the mud of your idiocy.
The God of the Bible you keep quoting is not on your side.
Repent.
@HTBullionSpeaks@CollinRugg Got it, hurts my heart though. My last cruise in 04 had only one Tomcat squadron on board, VF-103 "Jolly Rogers", and it was their last cruise with the Tomcat. It was just incredible to watch that bird cat and trap.
@HTBullionSpeaks@CollinRugg I noticed you said, "On Display". There are several of these aircraft at Davis-Monthan AFB in AZ, in deep storage. I would assume they didn't cut the "Wing pivot boxes" on these airframes, as most of the A/C stored there flew there and were "cocooned".
