Come Quickly, but Maybe Not Today

Zohran Mamdani sealed Iran’s fate. With his election in New York, it became apparent that not all of the American people carefully weigh their sacred right to vote. They will blithely vote based on promises that objectively cannot be fulfilled and ignore the obvious dangers and risks that spell disaster. They will glibly get on a bus that promises they’ll arrive an hour earlier, ignoring that the key to its speed is its lack of brakes. It reminded us of the electorate that twice elected Barack Obama, despite a declining economy and a failed foreign policy, in pursuit of hope and change.

Barack Obama spoke fondly of the Muslim call for prayer and disguised his antisemitism as merely anti-Zionism. He implemented America’s participation in the JCPOA, knowing that it would not prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon, but would merely prevent it from occurring on his watch. As an aside in the same deal, the United States funded global terrorism by delivering pallets of cash to the mullahs in Iran. How much blood is on the hands of America by turning a blind eye as we discreetly funded the global intifada?

As Alexander Hamilton warned us, the mob is too easily swayed. If we failed to address Iran now, there was a high probability that we would elect a leadership that will reinforce Islamists worldwide. We entered this action without the overt support of Muslim states such as Saudi Arabia, France, Qatar, UAE, and the UK; but with the clear support of western nations such as Canada and Australia. If we waited, how many more western nations would become Islamist? Would ours be among them? The Bible suggests that we are in the end times. Jesus tells us “Behold, I come quickly1”. Notwithstanding, as Christians we have an obligation – not to hasten the end, but to forestall it as long as possible. Each day presents a further opportunity for someone to accept Jesus. God would expect no less of us.

1 Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
