us."
                   Gary,
Hannah’s husband, looking terrible, said, "Look, guys, if anyone is
to blame it should be me . Hannah and
I have been active in this county’s tea party for over four years. We
followed the news. We went to the rallies. We read everything coming out of
Washington, and look. Here we are in central Alabama, facing the potential
destruction of this country we love. Well….that is….we used to love it a lot more before all
these things starting happening."
                   Hannah
dabbing her moist eyes, said, "Gary, sweetie, I never supported the idea of moving out of the country. Not even
when we were pretty sure that the US was going to pressure and force Israel
into giving up its land and signing the peace treaty. When the ink was drying
on the document we should have been packing our bags. It might have been too
late to sell the house and our accumulated stuff….make that
treasures….," she smiled grimly, trying to lighten the mood a
bit…."but we could have made it out of the country and into safety.
We could have hooked up with Marty and Tom or Liz and Max. Both couples offered
to let us stay with them until we could get settled. Your question is right,
Scott, what were we thinking? "  
                   Beau,
Audrey’s husband, finally spoke up, "It doesn’t do any of us
any good to wring our hands and cry over what we should have done. I’m the first to admit that I knew the
truth, the Daughter of Babylon prophecies, but, like you all, I kept putting
the decision off. When Liz and Max moved I was privately very skeptical. Were they over-reacting, I wondered? Then Tom and Marty adiosed . That
should have done it. I should have figured that if four bright students of the
Bible, Max was a professor at UAB, after all, decided to move offshore I should
get serious myself….but, of course, I
didn’t ."
                   Scott
observed, "Beau, you starting out by saying that wringing our hands
won’t do any good. Then you started wringing your hands. The question
is what do we do now?"
                   "OK,
yeah, Scott, you’re right, sorry….went down a rabbit trail there.
Your question is what do we do now ?
You saw the news last night, same as this morning. The President is continuing
to refuse to come to Israel’s assistance. The Israeli Prime
Minister….I always say his name wrong….you know who I
mean….has been all over the news, begging, even pleading for the US to keep our word and come to Israel’s
defense. So the White House says that the President doesn’t want to
increase tensions in a regional conflict. Say
what? How could you increase tensions when Russia and Iran and those other
Muslim countries are obviously headed to Tel Aviv? One guy, some retired
general type, said on Fox that Israel only has a limited time, maybe just a few days, before they are overwhelmed by
the invading troops."
                   Hannah,
trying to stop the flow of her tears, asked, "Guys, you do know what this
means if America betrays Israel….if we don’t come to
their defense?"
                   "Yeah,
Hannah….it’s in the Bible. In Genesis If we curse Israel, we will be….cursed. God is deadly serious about Israel.
He repeatedly says that He loves Israel and He will be its shield and protector."
                   Hannah
responded, "So….Israel won’t be totally destroyed, though the
news out of Israel, and the prophecies in the Bible, both say that there will
be a lot of blood that will be shed,
before God himself intervenes and destroys the invading armies."
                   "Max
studied this deeper than the rest us," Beau added, "he concluded
that the destruction of the Daughter of Babylon will happen soon…. very soon ….after America stabs
Israel in the back and breaks its word that we gave in the Camp David Accords
to come to Israel’s defense militarily if
